Rangers just killed off a full 5 on 3 and it looks like it is going to be one entertaining night of hockey. More between periods. Stay tuned… 
UPDATE: First Intermission - wow, nice to be able to take a breather after that one. This is what I want to see out of the gate from [...]


Johan…

30Jan08

So it looks like Johan Santana is on his way to the Big Apple after all - to the Mets. Pending a physical (this part sort of makes me wonder) and agreement on a contract extension, the Mets will have a much better #1 than they have had in a long time.
As with any trade, [...]


OK Rog, we get it - you are denying what was said in the Salem Mitch Trials. Enough beating us over the head with it though. Let the truth come out. It usually ends up doing so if you just give it time.
 They found Chuck and he is going to testify. Never mind the fact that they [...]


The saga of our favorite parking cone continues.Today it came out that Marek was back on the ice with the team. Beyond his refusal to shake Tom Renney’s hand 2 wins ago, it is still sort of a moystery what is going on with the guy.When asked about the chain of events, Marek had this [...]


It was officially announced today that the Rangers will open next season in the Czech Republic against the Tampa Bay Lightning. It was also announced that Ottawa and Pittsburgh will open in Sweden.
I am excited for any chance that the NHL has to increase it’s fan base, but I am puzzled as to why they would put [...]


ESPN is reporting that pending a physical - Robby Cano will sign a contract that will pay him as follows:
2008-2011 - $7 million per season
Team Option years for 2012 and 2013 would pay him a combined $28 million
 Sources are varying as far as exact numbers- but these seem to be the most common numbers.
As I [...]


I just noticed that Peter Abraham was kind enough to add a link to here on his site. If you are unfamiliar with Peter’s Blog - I suggest you check it out. He usually posts twice a day and his insights are usually fantastic. Thanks Peter!
 Word is spreading that the Yanks are close to locking up Robby Cano to [...]


Sean Avery just scored his second goal in 3 games. I was going to wait to post until intermission but I got inspired by what is becoming the famous Sean Avery double fist pump.
 The Blue-shirts look good tonight. I don’t know if they ate the Flintstones chewables tonight or if they are finally responding , but this [...]


After watching another day (weekend) of deflating/uninspired hockey it became very apparent what needs to be done here.Unfortunately, it is not an easy fix, or one that can be made this season at all. Even more unfortunately, I cannot see this team getting any further than the second round of the playoffs.
It has come time [...]


Intermission right now. Tough break first period as they outplayed and outshot the Bruins but a rare slip-up by Tyutin cost us a shortie.
  - I wonder if parking cone Marek stormed off when he found out he was scratched again. Honestly, the next time he wonder why he is scratched, someone should simply show him [...]
