The Daily Sports Rant

Nice 4 – 2 victory last night over the Islanders, but the presence of  Sean Avery was definitely a factor.  When guys go out of their way to try and hit him, it totally gets them off their game.  All in our favor though…2 wins in a row and a tough test on Sunday with [...]

Sean Part Deux!
In the most unsurprising move of the 2008-09 Rangers season, Sean Avery is back on the Rangers.  Thanks to some underhanded dealings from Glen Sather to the Dallas Stars (to be revealed after the season is over I am certain).
Now for a brief but glorious bio of his Ranger days:
Sean Avery has skated [...]

Your New York Rangers get big win this week over Capitals in wild & wacky Shootout 5-4…I think more luck than anything else since their PP went o-fer again (a huge gap in this team’s success).  Maybe Sean Avery will give the spark they need but still too many parts from competing.    That is, if [...]

If the Rangers ever needed a HEART (See below), it is now.  5 Losses in a row including their unispired effort last night against the Devils.  Shut out 3 – 0.  Ughh.
How many more 50 shots can we take and hope to score???
I hate to say this, but the more losses we have, the more [...]

Dear Michal Roszival.  We dont hate you today.  Why? Because you scored 2 goals in the Rangers 3 -2 OT victory over the LA Kings last night.  One for a Penalty Shot.  Go figure…
Rangers are now 2 – 0 on their sole west coast swing this year.  Not too shabby.  Rangers improve overall to 22 [...]

Rangers defeat Ottowa Sens 2 -1 in a shootout last night at MSG for 3rd Win in a Row, extending their lead in the Division by 4 points over surging Boston…
Ok, lets not get too crazy here folks. I have watched most of these games and this team is not a world beater, just [...]

Sorry folks for the lack of posts lately.  Things have been so nutzo at work the past 2 weeks ever since I got back from Pittsburgh.
Been trying to get up for a few posts, but interfering with my sleep time as well.   Cant do that…
A few thoughts.
What a turn of events for my Steelers.  2 [...]

Just a quick hit here. Your New York Rangers played great in stretches on Sat night but still cannot beat the dreaded Red Wings. Had them down 4-3 late in 3rd and a bench minor for too many men on ice. That has to be on Tom Renney. Wings score on [...]

On the road today, so not much to update…
Great shoot out win by the Rangers last night. Rangers looked solid but Toskala of the Maple Leafs was the difference. Steven Valiquette was in the nets and made some amazing saves…They deserved to win this game.
Play the Red Wings tonight which will be a [...]

Ok, it was bound to happen.
Rangers lay egg against the Buffalo Sabres last night by a score of 3 -1.  It was just a matter of time after the best start in 25 years at 5 – 0.  They looked very sluggish last night and no one stood out.  I counted maybe [...]
