The Rangers lost tonight for the second time in a row. It was a disappointing
overtime loss due to a penalty I dont think we actually deserved but
the bigger problem is the Rangers' inability to hold onto early leads.
A win tonight would have meant being back in playoff position and our
games at hand are dwindling. We have to win tomorrow to stay in the
race for playoff position. In other Ranger news, Shannahan may be back
later this week and I hope they dont play him against the hard hitting
Flyers where a check could set him back but I do wish to see him back
asap. We need his spark and leadership agan.
Feb 24'07
My Shannahan was injured a few games ago, knocked out cold for a good
five minutes with a concussion. It was terrifiying. I was there watching
the game life and without the commentary and replays, there was just
a frightened hush over the audience. Hes been sorely missed in the lineup
lately even if Jagr doesnt like him. After Shanny took on Brashear,
I have more respect for him than any other player on our team and I
sure wish we had gotten him before we had given our captain C to Jagr-
because Shanny shows more leadership skills than Jagr could ever hope
for.

Season on Ice - John Q.
Super Bowl XXXIX has come and gone. The Patriots did it again, and the
annual groans of another football season coming to a close, commence.
Now what? For years, fans have had the opportunity to engross themselves
in two of the “four major sports,” basketball and hockey.
Unfortunately, due to many failed attempts at collective bargaining,
the National Hockey League will not be conducting a 2004-05 season.
It was known, for quite a while, that a labor war was inevitable. In
2002, Pat Quinn, coach of the Toronto Maple Leaves, was fined $100,000
for criticizing the labor practices in the hockey league. Quinn bashed
teams for spending big bucks at the time during free agency, and even
predicted a lockout in 2004. The NHL and the NHLPA (National Hockey
League Player’s Association), have been at odds over many key issues.
The key focal issue creating this negotiating impasse, which will bring
to an end this doomed season, has been that of an institution of a salary
cap. The league desperately needs a cap in place to consider themselves
financial rivals of the NBA, NFL, or MLB. Gary Bettman, commissioner
of the NHL, realizes the necessity of a cap, and has been boisterous
in his stand. The commissioner needs not look further than the National
Football League to find a working model of how effective a cap could
be. Despite having setting limits on club spending, the NFL has shown,
consistently, over the years, that a professional league can have both
star-quality salaries and league-wide profitable results. The NHLPA
has made it clear that they do not support the adopting of a salary
cap, but have recently stated that this practice may not be out of discussion.
The only problem, the cap they propose is substantially, almost absurdly,
higher than the one Bettman and the owners had in mind.
The NHL has always fought the good fight when it’s status as a
dominant professional sports league is questioned. Always scrutinized
for it’s lapses in ratings, the National Hockey League has always
strived toward adapting to the ever-changing market. Their seasonal
rival, the National Basketball Association, has always been the sports
league receiving the majority of attention. Whether it’s a lack
of household names, which is just on account of laziness to learn foreign
names, or it’s the general lack of attention span to appreciate
a game where less than one hundred points are put up in a night; the
NHL just could not draw in the share of the American market as the NBA.
This perception of the NHL has been outwardly voiced and known by all
who ever turned on a sports news program and have had to wait forever
for the hockey scoreboard to find it’s way onto the screen. They
were just a less prosperous league, and everyone knew it.
With that said, how could these players be so blind, that they could
expect salaries to rival those other fortunate leagues? During a ten-year
span, from 1993 through 2003, salaries had risen quicker than could
actually be afforded. Players’ salaries accounted for fifty-seven
percent of a team’s revenues in 1993, while in ten years, those
same players costs took up a hefty seventy-five percent of those incoming
revenues. This means that NHL players earn $.75 for every dollar raked
in. With these increasing costs, it is hard to allocate enough funding
towards the promotion of the league through other channels. In those
same ten years, the average player’s salary jumped from $560,000
to $1.79 million, while over that period the average team’s loss
went from $1.54 million to an astounding $9.09 million. Even those too
hungover to keep up in Business Admin. 101 knows that this is no way
to run a business. Spend more money than you’re bringing in?
Sure, we would all love these ridiculous raises to occur during our,
reality-based, daily gigs. And of course we would fight tooth and nail
if they tried taking that one dollar per hour hike away from us. But
let’s face it folks, the NHL isn’t trying to take food off
these guys’ plates. They’re simply looking to tighten the
purse strings a bit, in a much-needed attempt to strengthen the league
as a whole. One would think that the opportunity to live a dream would
outweigh the invisible monetary hardships associated with those oh-so-lackluster
million-dollar salaries.
The NHL season is due to close on Wednesday, February 16th, through
what is to be, undoubtedly, a solemn press conference held by Commissioner
Bettman. The season was truly lost when scheduled day one of the 2004-05
campaign came and went, without a zamboni to be driven. To this writer,
there is no difference as to how much of the season could have been
“saved,” since with a shortened season, no name should be
etched on the Cup. Maybe a final hour deal will be struck, and some
lame, temporary, agreement allows for a limited number of borderline
meaningless games. You would just be stuck reading the same boring article,
about the same boring tragedy that will occur this time next year. Take
the year off boys! Get it done, but get it done right, so we can get
back to supporting the sport we fell in love with.

Jan 25, 05.
SNIFF SNIFF. The hockey season is not happening because the owners want
a salary cap and the players want to work it out differently. Not much
news on this, theyve sat down to talk a number of times with no results.
Some channels have been playing old hockey games or games from the farm
teams where they should've been airing hockey. No one wins in this type
of situation. I fear if this lasts that there wont be much of a fanbase
there when they return, especially in all those expansion cities.

OLD NEWS- '03.
11/25
My parents went to the hockey game on sunday and I AM SO JEALOUS! 6-2
win over the Ottawa Senators. Agame in which six different Rangers scored
goals and the line of Bobby Holik, Martin Rucinsky and Alex Kovalev
combined for nine points. YEAH!
10/22
The home opener was, memorable to say the least. We played Atlanted.
The Rangers began by honoring former coaches Roger Neilson and Herb
Brooks as well as former player Roman Lyashenko, who all died during
the off season. Dan Snyder, who died as a result of careless driving
on the part of a Thrasher's teammate was also honored. It's always a
little eerie when such a big arena has a moment of silence. Then the
National Anthem, and the place went nuts. Followed by, my baby, Mike
Richter dropping the ceremonial puck. The place, again, went nuts. Chants
of RICHTER, RICHTER went around the building. He looked like he was
getting a big choked up. The game itself was pretty exciting considering
it ended in a nothing-nothing tie. Atlanta had more shots on goal, but
The Rangers seemed to be taking better shots. I don't know how many
times I saw Kovalev and Nedved with the puck heading down ice. And my
Mike Dunham was the star of the game. He did well, it'll just take a
while for me to like the guy whose replaced my baby. Since it took me
so long to write this, the Rangers season stands at 1-2-2. And Lindros
is hurt, which is fine with me cuz hes a pansy anyway. I'm sure he was
busy checking his lipstick when he got hurt, just like Pavel was when
he got hurt- but I wasn't watching so I can't swear to it.
10/4
Ill be at the Rangers home opener as always! Its this month, the sixteenth!
I cant imagine why theyre not retiring Mikes number opening night. I
know they have to do all their opening game ceremonies and all but hes
MIKE RICHTER! Heres hoping hes atleast in the building or something.
Maybe we won't suck this year!!
9/5
Its official, Mike Richter has announced his retirement. 
8/20
Four bits of news. Matthew Barnaby will be in the NYR chatroom on August
26th at 7pm ET. Sounds fun to me. Kasparaitis had arthroscopic surgery
and is ok. The Rangers agreed to terms with Anson Carter and my mom
is happy.
The four bit of news is kind of funny. During the off season the winning
team gets to take the Stanley cup to lots of interesting places. Jiri
Bicek wanted to take it to his home country of Slovakia. The problem
was, when the Cup Keepers arrived, the cup didnt. Stories circled about
the cup being lost but it actually just never made it onto the plane
and rest peacefully in Toronto. It was the cups first visit to Slovakia,
and it was certainly not without excitement.
7/1
I went to the NY Rangers Draft party at MSG. I had a good time. Not
too many surprises. The Penguins took Fluery. Carolina took Staal. The
Panthers too Horton. The Rangers got Jessiman which was who they wanted.
I met Glenn Anderson. Sam and JD interviewed some of the younger Rangers
and they talked about being drafted and their first day playing. I had
a good time.
5/23
Well. I should've gone with my gut for New Jersey. Game seven of them
versus Ottawa is tonight. Unfortunately, I think Ill be missing it.
The Mighty Ducks sweeped their conference finals so I was wrong on them
too. Of course I would like to clarify that the fact that I think they're
a joke is not a reflection of their players. Its merely a response to
the fact that they're a team spawned from a bad movie about kids playing
hockey.
4/10
Who to cheer for now? Lets see...
Eastern Conference
#1 Ottawa vs #8 N.Y. Islanders
Ottawa of course! No self respecting Rangers fan would want the Islanders
to win!>Ottawa
#2 New Jersey vs #7 Boston >NJ
I believe with all the stuff Brodeur has said about the Rangers if I
choose them my mom would hunt me down and hurt me despite the box of
chunkies I bought her today. So, while in all likelihood the Devils
will win, Ill have to say Boston.
#3 Tampa Bay vs #6 Washington >TB
Tampa, no particular reason.
#4 Philadelphia vs #5 Toronto> Philly
Bleh, I couldnt care less if I tried.
Western Conference
#1 Dallas vs #8 Edmonton >Dallas
Dallas.
#2 Detroit vs #7 Anaheim
Anaheim doesn't deserve a team, theyre such a joke.>Anaheim
#3 Colorado vs #6 Minnesota >Minnesota
Colorado.
#4 Vancouver vs #5 St. Louis >Vancouver
Bleh.
There ya have it, my first round hopes.
---------------------------------------------------
4/5
Theyre entirely out of the playoffs. They were close! All they needed
to do was win their last game and have the Islanders lose their last
game. But the Rangers lost 2-1. This is a record for the team, six years
in a row without even making it to the first round of playoffs. They
must be so proud. Ending the show on a sweet note anyway, the team gave
the shirts off their backs to a lucky bunch of fans attending the show
last night.
March 29
Well, they're not ENTIRELY out of the playoffs, but their lose on wednesday
didn't help them much. We pretty much need the Islanders to lose the
rest of their games for us to make the playoffs.
March 4
Having played 3-4 more games on average than those around them in the
standings, The Rangers are one seat and four points out of the playoffs
right now. They've played well the last two games with one win against
Florida that ended 5-2 and one tie verses the Islanders. Pavel Bure
and Brian Leetch have both been scoring since returning to the ice so
YAY for that! Kovalev has made his presence known too, and while hes
a little weakling, Im glad hes back!
Feb. 28
News ive neglected to report over the past two months: The Rangers fired
their coach. We traded for Kovalev. Brian Leetch and Pavel Bure are
both back from injury. Last night we beat the 8th place Boston Bruins
4-1, thankfully, because we really need to kick some ass if we plan
to make it into the playoffs at all.
Dec. 15
Pavel Bure will have surgery on both knees today, to repair some damage
and determine whether he can play again this season. The poor baby hurt
his left knee Dec. 6 when he banged into Buffalo's Curtis Brown while
checking his lipstick. The original diagnosis was that Bure tore cartilage
and sprained the medial collateral ligament. Whether there was any further
injury will be looked into during surgery.
November 13 2002
Hmm, well I never commented on opening night! We didn't win but it was
fun! Always is! The Ranger fans weren't as cruel to the new coach as
I expected them to be. Actually, in true Ranger tradition, Nedved was
met with the most mixed response. Personally I think hes a pansy. Yes,
we all know I love my fighters, is it any wonder wrestling is another
favorite sport of mine? Back to hockey... I was kind of disappointed,
we won our first away game, but not the home opener. As you all probably
noticed, Mike Richter DIDNT retire- YAY!! but they were playing him
approximately every other game so he can rest and not strain himself
until he got injured! :(. My mom still thinks Mark Messier is god. Its
a slow year for me in terms of hockey, I usually have a few games I
plan on seeing; maybe there will be some tickets in my christmas stocking.
As always, Rock On!
September 23 2002
Alright! A new hockey season begins and the NY Rangers win the first
preseason game 6-4! My hopes are high! Ive got tickets to the season
home opener on october 11th! see ya there!
June 16 2002
As I was writing this Carolina and Detriot were in the middle of game
four. I really dislike the Red Wings so I'm hoping Carolina wins.
In other news, the Rangers hired an ex-Islander as coach for next year.
That is disgraceful, I am SURE he will be booed throughout the first
home game.
AHH!!
My Richter got hurt! He probably wont be resigned. After returning after
two major injuries, this one will probably be the one to push him into
retirement. God the Rangers team is so fukked up! Lindros and Bure,
could they find anyone I hate more? Oh wait, dont let me say that, next
we'll have Jagr. Well the good thing is, despite sucking so bad, even
though we won the other day, we've had some pretty decent fights. Mckenna
and McCarthy are so kickass it isnt even funny. Fluery, a pain in the
ass as always. These guys make it worth watching. It always nice to
hear the Rangers fans chanting 'Lowe must go!' Yeah, he sucks but hes
not as bad as Muckler was and I remember referring to Colin Campbell
as 'Clueless' when he was around. Itd be nice if we stopped trading
our young talent for a while though.
~Rock On, Mistress
I dont understand!
HOW can a team start off SO well and be in FIRST place and suck SO bad
to lose like eight games in a row!! Its pathetic!! We lost to everyone
imagineable!! We lost to some shitty expansion team called the blue
jackets??? who the fuck are they?? and why do they have a ghetto ripoff
of my ranger's nickname??!! ANYWAY! Superskate was fun, expect pictures
and a report about it from Miss E. Angel! :)

Crazy Crazy Crazy
Ok so I went to the Ranger's opening home game. Awesome show. Beautiful
ceremony for the works and families of the WTC followed by an exciting
game. One of a kind jerseys with NEW YORK on the front worn by both
NY and Buffalo & were auctioned off on edeals with a starting bid
of $500. I also had the pleasure of seeing the terrible excuse for a
game the Rangers played yesterday against the Caps. Our rookie goalie
shouldve gotten a star though. He really did do well despite the fumbling
bafoons in front of him.
~Rock On, Mistress
The Pre Season
started. I will be attending the first game of the season next weekend.
See you there. ~Rock On, Mistress
Lots of News.
Ok, first of all the Rangers signed PJ Stock. Which is good, because
hes a great player. Unfortunately we traded for Lindros, a player who
will likely suffer a concussion and not be able to play. Luckily we've
got him on a deal that pays him depending on how many games he plays
but we're losing out on this deal none the less. We traded 3 guys for
him. And if he doesnt deliver or knocks himself out all we get is a
first round draft pick. The good thing is that the Rangers are being
talked about even though its the middle of the freakin summer. The bad
news is along with Lindros we get two meddling parents who like to tell
the team who can and cant be on his line depending on how much they
pass the guy the puck. Give me a fukkin break. Hes a big boy now, get
over yourselves. The Rangers werent able to make a single good deal
this season. I wonder why. When the Rangers had money they drove up
prices now we have GMs trading people to siblings who work for other
teams. Yeah, thats kosher. Im not saying theres a conspiracy just that
everyone has their own agenda and the Rangers got screwed because they
have no friends. The only thing Lindros has got going for him in my
opinion is his good looks. Maybe he can flirt with the goaltenders and
theyll let him 'score.'
Rock On, Mistress
They got rid of Rich Pilon. And I never mentioned that Kamensky and
Taylor are both gone as well. We signed a bunch of people whose names
I dont recognize. And theyre basically keeping Richter around to coach
the new goalie.
~A depressed and pissed, Mistress
The Rangers
resigned right wing Sandy McCarthy yesterday. Which is cool cuz I like
him.
~Rock On, Mistress
I love being right.
Hasek is now a Red Wing. Roenick went to Philly. Sakic, Roy and Blake
all stayed in Colorado. The Rangers are trying to get Jagr, someone
shoot me now. We dont need another asshole on the Rangers, isnt it bad
enough we have Nedved? The Ego Meter just hit the fan! I mean we're
trying to make a team that will get into the playoffs so they hire a
guy who hates the pressure of the playoffs? That makes sense.
~Rock On, Mistress
Ray Bourque
made it official yesterday. He said goodbye after 22 years in the NHL.
Im glad he got a cup before he retired. He deserved it. The Avs are
desperately trying to deal with Sakic before he becomes a free agent
Sunday and it looks like Hasek will be going elsewhere.
~Rock On, Mistress
ASSHOLES!!!!
Glen Sather TRADED GRAVES!!! to SAN JOSE!!! He is SUCH A MORON!! And
he tried to make it sound like he was doing Graves a favor!! I cant
even paraphrase this it made me sick. just click here. -Mistress
June 19th
Okay so with the awards ceremony over and done with all the winners
think theyre hot shit and will be in the Olympics automatically. Hasek
pretty much sounded like an arrogant prick assuming he was definitely
on the same team he was on last year even though the Olympics arent
untill January. Though I have to agree with all the trophies Sakic got
I would be shocked if he didnt make an Olympic team, hed have to develop
some terminal illness or hurt his groin or need surgery or some other
horrible thing to miss the Olympics. We still dont know if Bourque will
be returning next year. He said if he does and he is asked to partake
in the Olympics he will definitely go to a camp to practice if invited.
~Rock On, Mistress
June 17th
Ok so I neglected to mention that the Avs won in Game Seven giving Ray
Bourque his first ever Stanely Cup but you probably realized that already!
Anyway, it was a great series and if I hear anything earth shattering
about trades over the summer I will be sure to post it.
~Rock On, Mistress
June 8th
Yep the series is going well as far as I know its 3-3 and well be seeing
a game seven rather soon. I just want to take a minute to throw a question
out to all of you.. why the fuck do all the network channels want to
ruin the fun of hockey with technology?
~Rock On, Mistress
June 3rd
Lets see. The Avs and Devils are fighting for the cup. The series is
2-2 and um yeah, thats about it.
~ Rock on, Mistress
May 22nd
GO AVS!! The Avs kicked major ass in their series beating the Blues
in game 5 in overtime tonight!! Tomorrow is game five of the Devils/Penguins
Series, I am hoping to see the Devils blow the Penguins into tiny little
bits and eat them for supper.
~Rock On, Mistress
May 3rd
NJ is leading their series 2-1. <GO DEVILS> The Avs were kicking
some major ass last night and won 3-0 making their series 3-1. The Sabres/Penguins
series is tied at 2 and the Blues have got their witches brooms ready
for a sweep.

April 27th
NJ beat Carolina. Toronto beat Ottawa. NJ play Toronto in the second
round. Philly lost to Buffalo. Pitsburgh beat Washington. The Penguins

Ok, so the Ranger's season is over. We didn't make it to the playoff
and Graves may have played his last game as a Ranger. Some little kid
won the jersey off his back!! In fact the whole team gave their jersey's
away. It was fan appreciation day the last home game of the season and
it was a nice show even though we lost. We lost our last game of the
season too. There is always next year. And maybe I will try to write
updates about the other teams through out the playoffs.. we'll see.
Rock On Mistress
April 3rd
Why does it take the end of the year and the inability to make the playoffs
for the Rangers to play decently? They have been winning! Which is great
but it isn't going to do them much good at this point. Maybe that is
exactly why. The pressure is gone. Theyre playing for fun so they're
winning more. Im going to the final home game of the season tomorrow.
See ya there!!
Rock On, Mistress
March 24th
The Rangers went back to sucking. The goaltender ( if my memory serves
me correctly) was Guy Herbert. He totally lost the game for everyone...
no the rest of the team looked like shit too but the game WAS only 3-0.
We coulda came back from that but noooooo. We had to give away some
more goals in the next period. Finally the coaching staff put him out
of his misery and changed goalies.. who by the way didn't give away
any goals. I had fun even though we totally blew major chunks and lost
6-0. Ah well. Todays my birthday, im not going to stress over it.
Rock On Mistress
March 19th
WOW!!! The Rangers came to the game looking to WIN!! and win we did!!!
The final score was 6-3 US!!! WHOOOOHHOOOO!!! Not that I think there
is any way in hell they will get into the playoffs but seeing a good
game is always a good thing. Mark Messier passed some more people in
some standing thingy. Oh well I am gonna go celebrate :)

March 13th
Ok yes i dare not update for an extremely long time and still put the
date up. Thats cuz its MY website and I don't have to answer to anyone!
not even YOU! Anyway we won yesterday in over time I thought we were
going to lose. Ive got tickets to two upcoming games that im looking
forward to! whooooohooooooo!! One of them should be one hell of a game-vs.
Detroit! See ya there! (yeah ill update before that, I promise, because
the other game im going to is before that ;) hahaa )

Yes I am a lazy ass bum who doesnt update daily. Ive been busy. We won

Alright so on Saturday there was a Ranger game and we won!!!
And today there was a Ranger game and we won but unfortunately MY FAV
PLAYER RICHTER GOT HURT!! He tore his acl in his other leg and it might
be career ending!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Feb 14th
damn. I think every team in the league has a game today except for the
rangers. oh well, there was some good shit on though. After going to
dinner with my rents to celebrate valentines day I came home to see
the 'Canes and The Red Wings in a 3-3 tie with two minutes left. A Hurricane
player crashed into the boards while on all fours and he was alone!
HAHA ...5...4...3..2..1..ooooohhhhhh OVERTIME!!! The 'Canes get a penalty
for too many men on the ice and of course lose because they have to
play 4 on 3 for the next two minutes but what is sad about this game
is that the 'Canes were winning 3-0!!! So what did we learn? DONT GET
COCKY JUST CUZ YOURE WINNING 3-0!!! THEY CALL IT THE DREADED THREE POINT
LEAD FOR A REASON!!!!
After that game they showed clips of the Washington/Vancouver game.
The Caps won 4 to 3 in overtime! haha dontcha just love overtime???
OHHH wait I found another game!! Edmonton vs The Ducks. There is 6 minutes
left and while I need not pay much attention id like to point out how
pathetic it must be to be on a team named after a disney movie. But
anyway... back to the game. Anahiem pulls their goaltender and whoops!
they score. LeClerc tied the game with a minute and six seconds left.
It ended in a tie.
OHHH more clips!! Dallas beat LA 4 to 2. All I caught was that a goal
was scored off of someone - as in it hit him in five places.. including
his face.. then went in. hahah. Other than that Modano scored by pretending
to play baseball and batting the puck in the vicinity of the goaltender
and it went in. what a lucky bastard.
ROCK ON Mistress
Feb. 11th
hey all!! i went to the rangers/devils game and it was GREAT. it was
especially amusing to watch my mom's potty mouth terrify a small child
as she yelled for the rangers to shoot pucks at brodeur's face and other
such things to the point where my mom will no longer be allowed to go
to sunday afternoon hockey games. she of course only wanted such things
because the guy was elbowing and taking down all our men and only got
called for one of them. the rangers definitely showed some life &
despite the end only being a tie, the game was very exciting. I cant
wait to go to another game !!!!
ROCK ON MISTRESS
Feb. 8th
Ok so I missed a few updates, I have a real life too you know!! Ok so
the Rangers won one before the Allstar break. Whhhhoooooohhoooooooo!!
Its about freakin' time! Then after the break the lost another game
but we cant expect too much now can we?? lol
Of course then there was the all star game and North America beat the
World 14 to 12. Damn! Was this a shootout or what??? Lets see what I
remember. For the World- Sundine scored twice, Forsberg once, Kovalev
once and Kariya once. I don't remember who else scored for the World.
For North America, Fluery scored the first goal then scored again. Guerin
got three goals! Sakic, Amonte and Lemieux each got a goal.
The skills competition, that was the day before, North America won that
too. HA!! Lets see from that I remember that Bourke won the accuracy
shoot competiton for the 8th time!! Modine had the fastest shot with
a 102 mile per hour slapshot! And Burke after an interesting little
rapid fire tie breaker won a car for his goaltending skills!!

Jan. 27 Rangers Vs. Islanders
Well yesterday's game was another poor attempt at a win but I guess
that's why we lost! Yup we lost to the ISLANDERS! What is wrong with
them? We desperately needed to win that game and the Islanders played
like they wanted it more. Richter, by far my favorite player, was the
only one who seemed to know how desperately we needed to win. Had Richter
sucked we would have totally been blown away. It wasn't even as if they're
goal tender made a lot of amazing saves either. We hardly tested him.
Our power play still sux. I think im going to start cheering for another
team.

JAN. 24TH - RANGERS VS HURRICANES
HEY THERE HOCKEY FANS! THE RANGERS, AFTER WINNING THE FIRST GAME OF
A HOME AND HOME MATCHUP AGAINST THE CAROLINE HURRICANES, FIVE TO TWO,
LOST TODAY THREE TO TWO. THE FIRST PERIOD ENDED WITH THE RANGERS SCORING
THE ONLY GOAL. AFTER THAT ALL HELL BROKE LOOSE IN THE SECOND PERIOD
AS THE 'CANES (GEE FOR SOME REASON THIS NAME MAKES ME WANT CANDY) EMBARRASSED
THE CRAP OUT OF THE RANGERS MAKING THEM LOOK LOST AND CONFUSED MUCH
LIKE OUR NEW PRESIDENT DOES WHEN ASKED A SERIOUS QUESTION. GELINAS DID
A PARTICULAR GOOD JOB OF MAKING US LOOK LIKE WE DIDN'T BELONG ON THE
ICE WHEN HE SCORED THE THE CAROLINAS THIRD GOAL OF THE GAME. AS JD SAID
HE COULD HAVE HAD A DRINK AND A SMOKE CONSIDERING HE TOOK HIS SWEET
TIME AND STILL SCORED. AS MY MOM WOULD SAY "MY GRANDMOTHER CAN
CHECK(SKATE) BETTER THAN THAT!!" PYLON, OUR DEFENSEMAN DID SCORE
OUR FIRST GOAL OF THE GAME AND IT WAS ALSO HIS FIRST SINCE 1997! IN
THE SECOND PERIOD WALLIER, ONE OF CAROLINA'S DEFENSEMEN ALSO SCORED.
WHAT IS IT WITH THESE DEFENSEMEN SCORING??? IT MUST BE CONTAGIOUS. TWENTY-NINE
SECONDS AFTER THAT TENABE SCORED A GOAL THAT WENT RIGHT BETWEEN RICHTER'S
LEGS. I WANNA ADD THAT IN ANOTHER DISAPPOINTMENT WE OVER SKATED AND
COMPLETELY MISSED AN OPEN NET MIDWAY THROUGH THE SECOND PERIOD. IN THE
THIRD PERIOD THERE WAS YET ANOTHER FIRST AS SMYTH SCORED HIS FIRST GOAL
AS A RANGER. SADLY THE 'CANES WON AND NOT ONLY DID I HAVE TO WASTE MY
TIME WATCHING THAT PATHETIC EXCUSE FOR A HOCKEY GAME, I HAD TO COME
ON HERE AND TYPE ABOUT IT FOR A GOOD TWENTY MINUTES. I HOPE YOU'RE GRATEFUL.
