The Dark Ranger

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).

As the blog has been invaded by another country, I offer a beautifully written counter-point by a Canadian hockey writer that poses the statement, "The NHL's Version of the New York Yankees" which outlines the Toronto Leafs Organization and team as an overly bloated, highly ambitious losing franchise.

IF YOU ARE A TORONTO MAPLES LEAFS FAN.....PRESS HERE!!!!

Now in truth, these are not The Dark Ranger's words -- so such Toronto family members and (sorry tml) Leafs fans (Fabio), the Mirvishes should not take offense. So with that, I leave it to the upcoming season to embarrass our Leaf cohorts and point out every game, every mistep and every goal Mr. Darcy scores on his own team.

With love & "Let's Go Rangers!",

The Dark Ranger

Dear Dark Ranger your posts and commentary remind me of the loaf of bread I purchased several weeks back. STALE!!!!
Your failure to understand the great CANADIAN game of hockey is very much apparent.
The 2007 entry draft proved once again with a 60% CANADIAN first round content that we are the best in the world!
I am looking forward to discussing Miss Avery's whinning and turtling for the upcomming season.
Good Luck picking any UFAs during the summer
Good Day
GO LEAFS GO

...and your grand statement of 'the great CANADIAN game of hockey' is an ignorant statement suggesting that The Dark Ranger and the remaining 40% round picks are less than the best.

You are a silly fan. I am a fan of hockey. I like some teams and other I don't like. Not a big fan of the Leafs and I have pointed out before that Leafs fans are so infatuated with their own infatuation ('hockey as religion') that they cannot understand a counter-argument, cannot look at themselves in the mirror and perhaps say "my team could be better", or for that matter - 'my team sucks'.

As a life-long Rangers fan, I have been 'boo'ing my own team for years, but now see a light worth cheering. I always love my team; I may not always like them - like a family member.

This is where you are blind Fabio....kind of like how Darcy Tucker felt after Sean Avery punched him in the face last April.
