Sorry No Updates …I’ve Been Sick!

Well, I was definitely watching the games while I was sick, even if I wasn’t posting. They look great so far. Really fun to watch, no 2-1, or 1-0 games like last year. Gaborik is the new Jagr. We finally have a bonafide scorer who can scare teams. Well, i hope to be back posting soon, so stop on by….

2-1 Loss to Beantown to kick off the pre-season

Besides seeing a number of players that won’t be on the opening day roster, we got to see some who just might make the cut. Gilroy…pretty good game, almost had a goal in the 3rd (except for the winning pp goal which he was on the ice for; Del Zotto….didn’t look out of place, and handled almost everything thrown at him. I stress these two, because thats what it seemed like everyone else was doing. Rightly so though.

Hi from overcast state of Maine

Hello, been taking a break from the blog since free agent bonanza! I am posting from the beautiful state of Maine right now, although where I am, getting a solid signal on my iPhone is tantamount to impossible! I get at most one and a half bars…which, if I turn my phone upside down, resembles Esa Tikkanens unbridged mouth.

I just saw this goodie, and couldn’t help but post it ( damn, just killed my 413th mosquito since I started typing!!!)

Gomez to go-go; NYR to waive bye bye to Redden?

Just got some tweets about these stories….need to verify! Makes for some good rangers talk now that our season is done. I wouldn’t miss either one…and while they’re at it get rid of Drury as well!!!!!

I’m not Gonna Say a Thing Until After Tuesday’s Game 7!

Too angry to talk about today’s game. The team quit. All the players quit….with the exception of maybe Dubinsky and Callahan. Our coach got the “Avery Treatment” today. Good John, tell Avery to behave, when you yourself can’t! Now he’s palying in a confused state…you’re watching from the Box upstairs…the team is in shambles. I, am a diehard through and through, but unless they can show some signs of life on Tuesday..they are done! I try to see the good in all this…we won the third period…and the second half of the game for that matter… and that’s all the good I can find right now. Let’s hope we take game 7 on tuesday. LET’S GO RANGERS!!!!!!!

3 Games to 1

With the Rangers gunning for their 4th win of this series, expect Washington to unload on Henrik (as if they haven’t been already). Let’s hope Avery can stay out of the box in the third period. Last but not least, we need Zherdev and Antripov to START contributing in this series. If we make it out of this round, we get Boston. We will need everyone running on all cylinders.
