The Dark Ranger: Sean Avery For Mayor!

Bio of TDR

TDR is a working professional in entertainment and is obsessed with the game of hockey. More fourteen years ago, this site emerged as a means (or an outlet) to tell some truth'isms about the game post-lockout, rather than the crud fed to us through knuckleheads like Jimmy Dolan and his lemmings universe. Today, there are a hundred Rangers sites and is thankful and grateful to all those that have come after him, but honorable thanks go to his fellow Dark-writers, Graying Mantis and J_Undisputed. And "Let's Go Rangers!"

Bio of General Ganz

General Ganz is a cynical yet well-informed student of the human spirit. He's a professional of sorts, with a post-graduate education, some experience working in real companies, and some limited athletic ability. The total small package. He got picked on a fair bit as a kid, and he experienced his first human-non-relation kiss in his teens. He also grew up on the other side of the tracks, thereby helping to cultivate a healthy contempt for dreamers and optimists whose rosy upbringing gave them something to smile about, even when "life produced lemons." Like it or not, his only mission is to point out the potholes you're lucky enough to miss on your drive to work. To find the blemish on your daughter's carefully-stitched (and not-yet-paid-for) wedding dress. To take that little smidgen of hope that your favorite hockey teams fill you with, and pour orange paint on it. Oh, and he is a Blueshirts fan, and takes most of his fashion direction from Ron Duguay (whose name he dropped as a way to close the deal on that first kiss).

Sean Avery For Mayor!

As a life-long New York Rangers fan and with the season at a close, I reflect a little on what made the team this season fun to watch. With Mayor Bloomberg reserving one billion of his own dollars for his own presidential run as a third party, who better would we want as his replacement here in the grand Big Apple?

A solid performer, a gritty physical presence (though a bit of short man's syndrome), tough as nails and words that could make an East New Yorker turn red, I can only think of one man qualified for the job. Sean Avery.

He rejects Los Angeles, he has demonstrated great diplomacy and his relations with Canada, and a know how to move the right lines, make the right hits and overall say the right things.

He is the man for the job.
