When I got in the car early this morning on my way to the gym I heard the talking heads on the NHL on XM say “and the Vancouver Canucks were embarrassed by the New York Rangers in a 4-0 shutout”. The Canucks were not embarrassed by the New York Rangers. If anything, they were [...]

After attending the Islander/Tampa game on Thursday night, on Friday I made the following prediction about yesterday’s Ranger/Islander game on my favorite message board at The HockeyRodent: “No Staal, no Sauer = Icelander victory. Sorry but what with the schedule and the injuries (and now with less Avery) the Rangers will probably be on the [...]

Perhaps the reason Avery was waived isn’t as obvious as the Ranger’s organization and the NHL wants us to think. Sean Avery has been the raspberry seed in the wisdom tooth of the NHL his whole career. You can blame Torts for squelching Avery. You can blame Sather for pandering to Torts. Or, you can [...]

From 42nd Street: After the star breaks her ankle, the coach producer must find a replacement from the chorus line who knows the part and can carry the show. He turns to young Peggy Sawyer. Julian Marsh: Sawyer, you’re going out there a youngster, but you’ve got to come back a star! With Mark Staal [...]

Okay, so I look like a jerk for slamming Shanny prematurely before he rendered a decision on the Sestito hit. My question is, why did it take Brendan so long to pass judgement when it seems like he jumped all over Wiz and Shelley immediately. After all, Sestito got two five minutes majors and a [...]

So, Jody Shelley and James Wisnewski receive fines and long suspensions for their “against the new rules” hits but Sesisto gets nothing for driving Deveaux into the boards in Philadelphia on Monday night? Based upon the video showing the “Shanahan” interpretation of Rule 48, I would say the boarding of Deveaux by Sesisto is a [...]

As we learned today, Ryan Callahan has been named the 26th Captain in Ranger history. The thought occurred to me that someone in Ranger management must be listening to the fan base. Who knows what convinced the powers that be to honor the wishes of the Garden Faithful and name Cally captain? It could have [...]

To the families, friends and fans of all the souls who perished on the Yaroslavl Lokomotiv team, may God give them strength. My thoughts and prayers are with them all. May their souls and all the souls of the faithful departed through the mercy of God Rest in Peace Amen

So Chris Drury is packing it in after cashing in with the Rangers. Nice of him to retire after being bought out. The problem that some fans had with Drury is that he never lived up to the high expectations signing a $35+ million dollar contract brings. My problem with him was that to me [...]

The story you are about to hear is true. The names haven’t been changed because Sean Avery is already presumed guilty. Sergeant Joe Friday and his sidekick, Officer Joe Gannon, were working in the Noise Complaint Division/Hollywood Hills precinct of the LAPD Thursday night. They received a 1013 call that an officer was in trouble, [...]
