After watching the Mets lose to the Phillies Saturday, allowing 3 unearned runs and getting shut out, I realized that,  like my relationship with the Rangers, I am caught in bad romance with the Mets. What, you say, have the Mets to do with the New York Rangers? The similarities between the two teams are frightening.

How does Glen Abracadabra Sather do it?
He gets a quid pro quo cap hit trade with Atlanta while unloading the despised Donald Brashear and the peripatetic Patrick Rissmiller. No matter that Todd White, the  player coming the other way, is only a slight improvement on Brian Boyle. Sather excises two bad contracts a get more back [...]

Just because Glen Sather lost the Kovalchuk sweepstakes didn’t mean he had to go out and sign another Russian to make up for it. The burning question Ranger fans should be asking: why didn’t Sather use some of the Frolov money to sign Demitra and address the Rangers real need, a first line center for Gaborik?
Sather [...]

Sather: I’ll take Napoleonic Wins and Losses for $1000 Alex.
The Answer: Signing llya Kovalchuk may prove to be his “Water-Lou”.
Sather: Who is Lamoriello?
After signing Ilya Kovalchuk to a 17 year/$102 million dollar contract, Lou Lamoriello may have finally made the faux pas Ranger fans have all been waiting for. This deal may finally be his undoing. Six million [...]

It just so happened that I was off today and got the chance to participate in all the free  agent madness on the world wide web. I wasn’t expecting anything earth shattering to happen and it didn’t. I get bored with all the scuttlebutt about who went where and for how much. I really only care about what [...]

Congratulations to Tom Renney on being named Head Coach of the Edmonton Oilers. 
I don’t understand all of the ramifications of Pat Quinn being “bumped up” to the Oilers Front Office and have no particular thoughts on the subject. Suffice it to say that after the raw deal Tom Renney got with the Rangers (Glenn Sather), it’s [...]

Congratulations to the Chicago BlackHawks on their Stanley Cup victory. It’s nice to see a fabled franchise come back to life. To put it into perspective, the last time the BlackHawks won the Cup, Mark Messier was an infant.
While I am happy to see the Cup go to an Original Six team, I also congratulate [...]

Apparently Larry Brooks has gotten Glen Sather to speak about the past season and the future of the franchise. I can’t tell if it’s SOS, the international distress  signal or the same old sh*t. Actually, I guess it could be viewed as both.
Sound bites like this would lead any Ranger fan to think it’s a [...]

Yet another slap in the face for Glen Sather and another reason (as if they needed more) for Ranger fans to hate him. Not that I begrudge Blair Betts, Peter LaViolette and the rest of the Philadelphia Flyers this turn at the big dance. They certainly all deserve it.  They are warriors and warriors usually win.
To think the [...]

Well, well. Gary Bettman and Colin Campbell have difficult decisions to make tonight. Should they: a) help the PosterBoy and his team through to the next round, b) blow the whistle in favor of  Canada’s underdog team celebrating their 100 anniversary or c) have the officials call a fair game and let the chips fall where they may?
Since [...]
