Preseason finished

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't slightly concerned about the apathetic nature of the Rangers pre-season. Heath Ledger has shown more life than the Rangers offense, and the Peter Nedved experiment has come to a merciful end. As I wrote about in my Melt Your Face Off Rangers preview , the wings haven't quite meshed with the centermen yet.

So what's a Renney to do - ah, I see, move our best faceoff man to wing. Drury could protect two fast players on his wing, moves the puck well, and throws his body around in front of the net. Based on all of the above, I'm not sure that's necessarily the best move, but hey, what do I know, I just play NHL '94 in my mom's basement.


It's not me, its Roenick

Well, It Makes Sense He Would Like a Flop

"So the people of Toronto are unhappy with me now, wait until they get a load of this,"

Mats Sundin joins team PokerStars

Not only did I screw them out of money by not allowing them to trade me and rebuild, crippling our team for years to come, but now I can lay the world class beats that PokerStars is known and loved for by its players!

Oh Captain, My Captain

O Captain my Captain! our fearful trip is done;
The team has weather’d every storm, the prize we seek not won; The season is near, the Czech I see, the people all exulting,
While follow eyes the steady keel,no leader yet grim and daring:

But O heart! heart! heart!
O the bleeding drops of blue,
Where in the rafter my Captain lies,
His jersey cold and dead.

O Captain! my Captain! rise up from Buffalo;
Rise up—for you the C is sown—for you the Goal song trills;
For you bouquets and ribbon’d wreaths—for you the Gardens a-crowding;
For you they call, the swaying blue seats, their eager voices chanting;

New Captain! dear import!
The way you keep your head;
It is some dream that on the deck,

Our leadership fallen cold and dead.

My Captain is not named, no lips or voice to trill;
Our team for now has no pulse, but soon I hope it will;
Our aircraft fueled safe and sound, its voyage for pleasure and fun;
Across the Ocean, the team will land, comes in with no object won;

Exult, Garden crown, and ring, Goal Song!
But I, with mournful tread,
Wait patiently for my Captain named,

Mr. Drury please, I pled.

Highest of High Comedy

The Atlanta Thrashers are in serious conversations with Marek Malik.


BWAHAHAHAHAHA.

*ahem*

I mean, I guess if slow, big defencemen that don't play good defence or use their body are in vogue, go for it.

From Hossa to Malik. Tough year.

Kthxbye

Czech It Out.

Open Letter to the NHL:

Dear Mr. Bettman Commisioner Cuntwag

Let's lay all our bets on the table shall we. That means you too Mr. Donaghy. (and don't think I'm not onto you Kerri Fraser).

I'm a 25 year old scraping by on dick money in New York. As a Mets fan and a Jets fan, I don't have much to look forward too. So when I blow a good chunck of my salary on half a years worth of Ranger tickets, and the guy I'm splitting them with gets Graves night, I would like to attend the season opener. However, this year I can't because you're doing it in fucking Prague.

As a fan, I spent time researching a trip to Prague, forgetting that because of priorly stated employment I can't leave the country for four days without losing more of my piddling salary. I understand about trying to expand the NHL's popularity, but this isn't fucking Mystery, Alaska. Russel Crowe isn't going to come and bring hockey to Cinemax 27 because you dragged one of the league's premier franchises to Guam for a regular season game. Even in that movie, the game was an EXHIBITION. Jesus Christ Gary, use some common sense. I see the bitch in you, and its ruining the great sport of hockey.




Sincerely,

FD
