At the very least, make me want to see a couple of these guys stay on the team. Plus all this coach business has taken the 'class' out of his mojo for us Rangers fans. I never appreciated the 'class' that Renney brought to the table until right about now. Mind you...we need Torts going into the off-season and next season, but what he did will remain with me for a long, long time. <br /><br />Whether we move forward into another agonizing round of hockey against the Bruins (yeah...that'll be easy) or not, one thing is for sure.<br /><br />The Rangers have a new rival in DC.<br /><br />Here's to a Tuesday post-mortem. Cheers to all. It's not looking good and THAT'S OKAY WITH ME because they have given me (as a fan) nothing to look forward to. This roller-coaster ("we're great....we suck") of a season is the first in a long time.<br /><br />tony,....the Shanny picture hurt. A small reminder of how little it actually takes to make the difference on a team -- the devotion to a team, and even more importantly, showing the fans why you belong on the team. Dropping the gloves that first Caps meeting transformed that Red Wings sharp-shooter into a Blueshirt favorite within seconds...that was one of the most memorable recent goosebump moments post-lockout.<br /><br />if only there was more to say...<br /><br />the post-summer-season awaits...<br /><br />Dreadfully,<br /><br />TDRThe Dark Rangerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12394949785830752700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7172615307927549169.post-15924368367848991552009-04-27T17:01:00.000-04:002009-04-27T17:01:00.000-04:00I'd have a more positive outlook if we turned the 3rd into a brawl, with eye gouges to even out their biting, and illegal chokeholds and the like. At least then they would have been able to say they got it all out of their system and they could come in tuesday ready to work.<br />As it was you could see the frustration on the bench with Antro's stick swinging and dubinskys helmet bouncing. Hard for that stuff not to overflow when you feel youre being cheated and haven't taken measures to put people in their place and get things back on an even keel. As much as I like that Mara stood up for Betts, I think we need someone that will do more to Brashear than hug him to death. Funny the same thing happened last time Orr didn't play (against the flygirls.) Fedoruk, cheapshotted people at will... then he paid for it with his conciousness in the next game.J_Undisputedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02816204547470757297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7172615307927549169.post-61051101685630874292009-04-27T16:47:00.000-04:002009-04-27T16:47:00.000-04:00The fact that Brashear commits this act with zero response (I'm not counting a bear hug from Mr. Mara as an appropriate reaction)from the Rangers was the most disappointing part of a terrible effort. Winning takes unity - I wonder if Gravy is available tomorrow night.JMEYnoreply@blogger.com
