The Fire Sather Rally got the attention of most of the Ranger’s beat writers. The demonstration last evening got a mention from Steve Zipay, Larry Brooks, Jay Greenberg, all of whom I actually saw at the rally, and from Andrew Gross and Rick Carpiniello whom I did not. Not too shabby. 
No matter that the cigar chomping [...]

Just in case  you’ve have been under a rock and haven’t heard, there will be a Fire Sather Rally tomorrow evening before the game:
 
Fire Sather Rally
March 7, 2010
 5pm
East side of 7th Avenue between 31st and 32nd Street
Tired of your team being mired in mediocrity for the last decade? Tired of  bad contracts, moronic signings and the stupid [...]

Canada’s favorite son and Olympic hero Syd “the Diver” Crosby proved again last night what a phony and a disgrace to the NHL he really is. Not once but thrice did Cindy Crosby dive to try and draw a man advantage for his girls last night at the Garden.
Finally, another player with more class and [...]

I look forward to the Winter Olympics every four years. Ordinarily, I am a little sad when the games are over. Not so this year. I am glad I won’t have to listen to the annoying  Bob Costas or see the cast of the Today Show in mittens and silly hats until 2014.
Commenting on the Olympics would take [...]

Whoever in the MSG organization responsible for staging the “unrequited marriage proposal” stunt at the Garden yesterday afternoon need not have bothered. The Ranger game was entertaining enough. It was actually one of the more exciting games of the season. There was no need to divert the attention of the crowd away from the usual sub-par [...]

I absolutely love the Winter Olympic Opening Ceremonies and the Games and they get my undivided attention every four years. But I hope Canada is never awarded another Winter Olympics again. After watching this boring train wreck of an opening ceremony Canada put on this evening, I’m beginning to think Sochi will be better.
I am [...]

After winning two games in a row and scoring a combined total 14 goals, I thought it was safe to take my annual vacation on January 21 and left the Rangers to pursue points and move up in the standings. Instead the Rangers went to hell in a handbasket and the villagers are calling for [...]

Last week on my favorite message board, The HockeyRodent, I accused the Rangers of being bipolar. After witnessing last nights game, it seems my diagnosis may be correct.  Perhaps while his team was on a manic swing last night, John Tortorella took a little Thorazine to mellow out. 
Instead of fighting his players, Torts let them [...]

Why is Madison Square Garden like a bordello? Because the Rangers can’t score in a whorehouse.
Why are Ranger fans like codfish? Because we let this team just keep reeling us in and letting us out again.
Why do both Glen Sather and John Tortorella need to be fired? If you don’t know the answer to this [...]

Congratulations Team USA 2010 World Junior Champions!
The Rangers draftees Team Captain Derek Stephan 2008 51st pick, Chris Kreider 2009 19th pick and Ryan Bourque 2009 80th pick lead the way to Team USA’s victory over a stunned Team Canada in Saskatoon tonight.
This was an incredible game. After USA took a 5-3 lead in the third periond, [...]
