Because of Gary Bettman’s lousy television contract, the Stanley Cup Final schedule is being dictated to the NHL, it’s teams, the players and their fan base by the programmers at NBC Sports.
The first two games of the Stanley Cup finals are going to be played back to back this weekend in Detroit because NBC doesn’t want [...]

What with the economy being the way it is and the team regressing, I am curious to know how many subscribers intend to renew their season tickets this August.
I will be polling those who read this sight three times, today, after the draft and again on July15th. I think that would present a fair picture of how readers [...]

Please excuse my departure from hockey on this space for a moment and indulge me in a Mother’s Day moment.
Most little girls in our society don’t usually form precious childhood memories at sporting events or arenas. Fortunately, for myself and my daughters, we were not most little girls. Last night at Shea StadiumCitifield, I got the best Mother’s Day [...]

Every year about this time most ladies are changing over their closets from winter to spring and summer wear. Now is the time when we gals re-evaluate what we have and whether to  keep or toss what no longer works in our wardrobes. The five year old espadrilles that have seen their day, the yellowing white pants [...]

Since February 23 I have been trying to put on a good face as a Ranger fan. As a season subscriber, I still had games to go to. As a Ranger fan, there were still young men on the Rangers that I wanted to support. But when that day in February came, my commitment to this [...]

Though I am not ordinarily a superstitious person, I have a good feeling about tonight’s game. After skating for an hour and a half this morning, I came off the ice feeling good. I had some success today on something I have been working on for along time. In fact, I was hitting things fairly consistently [...]

The Washington Capitals certainly had their day this afternoon when  they defeated the New York Rangers 5-3  in a game that saw Ranger players concussed and bitten by Capital players. That’s right. You heard me correctly. Brandon Dubinsky was bitten by Shoane Morrison of the Washington Capitals. 
What happens to a disturbed child in nursery school when they bit [...]

Based upon my friend’s eyewitness testimony, the NHL may regret its suspension of John Tortorella. In fact, if the Rangers organization deposes the three “Ranger”  fan witnesses, they may have a very good assualt/wrongful behavior suit against The Washington Capitals organization, Ted Leonsis and the NHL.
My friend was sitting right behind Schoenfeld on the glass [...]

So I’ll meet ‘im later on
At the place where ‘e is gone —
Where it’s always double drill and no canteen;
‘E’ll be squattin’ on the coals
Givin’ drink to poor damned souls,
An’ I’ll get a swig in hell from Gunga Din!
Yes, Din! Din! Din!
You Lazarushian-leather Gunga Din!
Though I’ve belted [...]

For the first game of the playoffs each season since the lockout Section 409, and others in the Garden,  has endeavoured to continue the tradition of the Balloon Drop. The die hards in the section come up  at 6pm and help blow up the balloons. Tonight, around 630pm, some Garden ”Suit” came up and started eyeballing what was going [...]
