Kotalik Thrilled to Be With Rangers

Newyorkrangers.com has a nice feature on newest Ranger Ales Kotalik thrilled to be with the with the big market Rangers...

“Now I’m going to experience life from the other side, playing in a big city and a big, big sports market,” said the 30 year-old Kotalik after taking part in an informal workout with his teammates late last week. “It’s a good life experience to be on the other side, and I am looking forward to it.”

Kotalik also recalls playing the Rangers in the thrilling 2007 Eastern Conference Semi-Finals as a member of the Buffalo Sabres...

“It was one of the best playoff series I have ever been in,” said Kotalik. “It was electrifying. I remember that it could have gone the other way, but Chris (Drury) tied the game in the final seconds and then we won Game 5 in overtime, and that really turned it for us. Playing in the playoffs in New York made it all the more special and exciting for me as a hockey player.”

...thanks for ruining my afternoon Ales.

Happy to have Kotalik's blast of a slapshot. Not sure i like the 9 million over 3 years. But we will see.
