The Dark Ranger: I Am A 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).

I Am A Dark Ranger!

So, with little to look forward to over the next couple of weeks in Blueshirtland - with the exception of the much anticipated arbitration day for that overpriced Russian kid Friday - The Dark Ranger has decided to escape to Paris for a couple of weeks.

So, no posts from me criticizing the texture and quality of the new jerseys, no posts mentioning Dany Heatley, Brad Richards, Brendan Shanahan at camp, Gaborik's potential for injury, or Sean Avery's bar downtown. My dear readers, you need a break from 'tdr', but don't count out our residents J_Undisputed and Graying Mantis - who have always been there if there's 'news worth reporting'.

But before I depart, I'd like to invite you all to check out our new site, I AM A DARK RANGER - a counterpoint to what the folks at The Garden would like us to see -- hopefully, a place that the readers of DARK can contribute and playfully make fun of our beloved Blueshirts.

If you want a FREE PIN & STICKERS with I AM A DARK RANGER, drop us your name & address ( srel1229@gmail.com ) and AT NO COST TO YOU, you'll receive them at the end of the month. Wear them to the games and we'll TAKE BACK THE GARDEN!

Let's Go Dark Rangers and have a great August. See you in a couple of weeks.
