    RANGERS Goalie Dan Blackburn, 22, retired, citing permanent nerve damage in his left shoulder from an injury sustained in 2003. New York's first-round pick in the 2001 entry draft, Blackburn hurt his shoulder before the start of camp in 2003 and missed the 2003-04 season. His condition appeared to improve after surgery in March 2004, but never went away. Blackburn had a 20-32-4 record and 3.22 goals-against average in 63 appearances with the Rangers. He had a .894 save percentage. Danny has worked extremely hard over the last two seasons to do everything in his power to get his shoulder to a point where he would be able to play, ...

I know its going to be a roller-coaster ride for the rest of the season - there will be plenty ups and downs but I'm enjoying every minute of it.

    I think all their command was off, which is pretty typical. We're going to have to deal with lack of command for a while, as most of the Rangers pitchers were dealing with it, too. I don't pay much attention to it. Having them to be able to repeat their delivery is going to take some time. As far as results, I don't pay a whole lot of attention the first week to 10 days.
