The Dark Ranger: and the seas boiled..... (A humble request of the Red Wings from a hockey fan..)

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).

and the seas boiled..... (A humble request of the Red Wings from a hockey fan..)

Dear Detroit Red Wings,

You don't know me but, I am a hockey fan and primarily a New York Ranger fan. I know... I know...however, nows not the time for details. I am writing to you to implore you to start playing a more physical game and secure the Stanley Cup victory in game 7. We've all seen what you can collectively accomplish when you are focused and the equation thus far has been... Detroit plays physical= Detroit wins. I understand... you guys are tired and battling uphill against cheap-shots from Malkin, Cindy and the rest of the sh*tbirds, as well as the refs that turn a blind eye, backpeddling and reinterpretation of the rules by that useless tool Campell and lastly,........... that cheerleading idiot commissioner rooting for his golden boys. To quote Peter Gibbons, "he represents all that is soulless and wrong"... if you have ever seen the movie office space, there's this guy.... anyway, I digress... The point is, the fact they are conspiring against you should only make you want it more.

You may not realize this, but the fate of hockey hangs in the balance. How you play in this game 7 not only decides who wins the Stanley Cup, but what type of hockey will be played and watched from here on out by fans of the sport everywhere. The hopes of all hockey fans everywhere rest with your opportunity to beat the odds and stick it to Bettman, Crosby, Malkin, that toad Tyler Kennedy and the rest of the kool-aid drinkers. As a fan of a fellow Original 6 team, I beg you to step it up and restore order to our once beloved game. (well as much as can be fixed at this point).
