At least some good news. I don't think he'd come out saying something like that and then go back on it.

Devils captain Zach Parise repeated today his desire to re-sign with the team and said even if he does hit the unrestricted free agent market on July 1 there is “no way” he’d sign with the rival Rangers.

Told you guys. Players arent solely considering money. Loyalty and signing with your fierce rival create a public perception that players also care about. I'm sure Zach is going to want to cash in on a big contract, but he seems like the type of guy that would be satisfied with a 'big enough' contract and not 'the biggest' contract.

"This is a great place to play and I love playing here. I love being here." Parise said.

I was observing what Rags fans were saying about the news on HF, and noticed one poster's claim that both Holik and Gomez said something similar. Does anyone recall anything like that?

No, unless you take a former poster's insistence that Gomez would go to LA as gospel. Damn, I wish he had gone to LA.

Neither said anything of the sort. Rags fans don't have functioning memories that go back that far...well, aside from one particular, never ending year.

Holik never said anything of the sort afaik, Gomez might have a while before FA (months or years), but not this strongly or close to FA. The only one I ever specifically remember saying he wouldn't sign with the Rangers was Madden. And obviously Marty wouldn't, either.

not only did holik never say this, he specifically wanted to go to the rangers (although never stated that publicly) after he lost his arbitration case. it was the one team he wanted to go to and demanded they raise their initial offer. if HOI checks in, he'll confirm that.

gomez never said anything except "i'll see you in newark."

Lmfao at delusional moron Ranger fans. Neither Gomez nor Holik ever said anything close to "no way" when asked if they'd sign with the Rangers. Gomez said "see you in Newark" because the Devils made him.

I was up there to drop off stuff, didn't realize I'd be there when the players were leaving or I'd have bought a jersey. Who else stopped? I just heard one woman complaining that someone just waved and didn't stop to sign when most everyone else did.

Wasn't that "See you in Newark" that Gomez said by him done on a Newark promo video that they showed at Meadowlands? I remember being there and seeing it at some point.
