Bleeding Blue   Just Another Fan’s Stupid Opinion !

I have some new designs, old designs, something for everyone at the Bleeding Blue Store. Haha. How was that for a sales pitch. Well, that’s as good as it gets here folks. There are “Zeke Speaks” items available now, “The Avery Rule” items, as well as all the older BB.net stuff. Check them out, and if [...]

Sounds like Jagr really wants to be back. I would take him back at least for one year, maybe a two year deal. Well, here are two articles that surfaced this week. It is few and far between in terms of newspaper reports (regarding the Rangers anyway), at least until July 1st, when things should heat [...]

Here is an article (which are harder and harder to find!) on Sean Avery and his impending free agency…… Daily News – $ATHER’S HARD LINE ON AVERY WILL COST RANGERS

The march of the penguins has been halted for at least one more game. Great game. Great effort from all players. Great Goaltending. EVERYTHING was great tonight. We go back to P’burgh on Sunday, and if we can steal one there, it’s only 3-2 going back to MSG. Just ask the Yankees, things like that [...]
