The Dark Ranger: If You've Been In A Cave and Haven't Seen This......

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).

If You've Been In A Cave and Haven't Seen This......

I have received numerous emails from obvious Pittsburgh fans over the last week based on some comments a couple posts ago here on The Dark Ranger site. All of them defend their hero, Sidney Crosby, as one of the best hockey players out there and one "who doesn't dive". There are too many moments, pictures and video to prove the legitimacy of the DIVING, but...

Rather than document more diving on the site, I just wanted to clearly state that, although Sid in reality is one talented hockey player, he is a wimp and wussbag at heart.

So with that, may I reprise that special BRETT MCLEAN (FL) vs SIDNEY CROSBY (PITTS) fight on January 3, 2009.

Note that as stated in the press post-fight, Brett McLean (FL) was NEVER challenged to fight by Sid the Kid!!? During the faceoff - the KID UNLEASHED. Watch mid-way through the video to the faceoff replay and you'll see that if McLean was ever aware of an upcoming spar with "THE FARRAH FAWCETT OF THE NHL" than he would have looked ready to launch back. There was never any forewarning that they were going to fight.

Sid must have been thinking, "Pick a player who's pinky finger brushed up against my hair, and GET HIM WHEN HE'S NOT LOOKING."

I am certain the next time he meets Florida, someone will return the favor. Until then, more coverage here, here, here and Fox Sports here.

It looked more like Sidney Crosby Vs. Brett Mclean's Jersey. Whatever happened to the good ole days when you squared up, dropped the gloves, lost your visor and threw down?

Great pick for the NHL poster boy. A diving pansy who jumps a guy with no rep for fighting and tries to rip his jersey before piledriving him in to the ice. By the time Mclean actually realized he was in a fight (could it be called that?), he didn't know wether to cover his balls or cover his face.

Can't wait for someone to lay this b*tch out and put an end to this over inflated, over extended PR gimmick.

Bertuzzi did something similar, hit a guy from behind, which led to a career ending head to the ice. Then there's Sid jumping the guy, 'piledriving him in to the ice'...

Ooohhh.....a major! Standards people!

Anyone else glad that f*ckin tool of a commissioner is paying such close attention?

Rutuu bites someone, Cindys punching guys in the balls and jumping guys off the face off... and Avery gets sent to anger management classes for saying "sloppy seconds".

I hear the real reason Chris Simon is playing in Russia is because he refused the Steroids, Caffeine and Shock therapy before every game... and Mats Sundin would have been back sooner, but the league mandated that he complete a sensitivity training bootcamp with Richard Simmons before he'd be eligible to play.
