23-skiddoo
The Rangers trotted out Messrs. Gomez and Drury a little after 3 p.m. on the New York Liberty's practice court, both wearing No. 23.
Glen Sather showed them a puck -- logo heads, boilerplate tails. He tossed it.
Drury won and gets to keep Don Mattingly's number. Gomez hasn't decided what he'll wear.
"I don't know if I can go free agent and get my number back," Gomez said.
"It's for sale," Chris said.
Gomez had the answer: "I'll take him out to dinner and get a few drinks in him, change his mind."
(No. 18 is, I think, available as a backup...)
(Bruce Berlet asked Tom Renney if he'd asked Drury about that goal with 7.7 seconds left... "Next question," Renney deadpanned.)
Amazingly related: Another 23, Brandon Nolan, goes to the other side of the Bridgeport-Albany rivalry and signs with Carolina.
More perhaps when I get out of Greenburgh.
---Editing just to add some Drury stuff.
He and his family have a home in California, and that fueled rumors that Drury would look to the West Coast when he became an unrestricted free agent Sunday morning. "People asked that in Buffalo all the time, knowing I had a house in California," Drury said. "My answer was, I had a house in California when I signed a four-year deal to be a Sabre. It's a great offseason place to be."
About leaving Buffalo: "I explained to the writers up there, it would be like a kid from Rochester wanting to be a Sabre, or Batavia or whatever."
