Long Lapse...

Well I am back for my second blog post...it has been a week or so since my last post and nothing good has come in the Ranger world. The Capitals have evened the series (As many Ranger fans predicted they would) and are now looking to finish the Rangers off in Game 7 tonight in Washington D.C.

Hopefully, if there is a god, Artem Anisimov will start tonight in replace of Aaron Voros, but who knows? I wont count the Rangers out of this series yet, because they did win the first two in Washington, so anything is possible, right? The Rangers just need to keep their composure and make sure they stay out of the Penalty Box. And with that I will give you my five keys to tonights games.

Five Keys to CAPS Vs. Rangers
1. Rangers need to score first
2. Stay out of the box Avery! AND everyone else on the club
3. Get more than 30 shots on Varlamov!
4. Score at least ONE Powerplay goal
5. FORECHECK! FORECHECK! FORECHECK!

Well I am off for pregame dinner and then pregame! Check back later

Big Test for Rangers Tonight (First blog post edition)

So, as some of you may or may not know, I am a huge NY Ranger hockey fan. Tonight they've got an all too important game versus the Washington Captials. The Rangers really need to come out with some fire and energy tonight. If the mighty Tortorella got the Rags ready for this game like I hope he did, then the Rangers might have a chance tonight. However, if they come out dispassionate like they did Monday night then everyone in Ranger land is in for a long night! Alas! Let us hope for the best! Torts hasn't failed us yet. He did successfully complete the first mission: Mission #1, Make the Playoffs. Now if he can only get these guys going for a huge playoff push it would be great!

Now being a Ranger and a NY Giant fan as I am, I was rewarded with a gift last year when Eli Manning led us to a Super Bowl victory. Yet, who is to say we have used up all that magical juice that was flowing at the end of that game? Shit, there has got to be some kind of mystical well that this stuff flows from, right? Whatever the case, the Rangers need to conjure up some more that playoff magic so they can successfully complete Torts second mission: Mission #2, Win first Playoff series.

I know, I know...maybe I aim too high for these once low flying Rangers. Who knows though? I'll believe anything after the Giant's pulled out a miracle Super Bowl victory. Simply put, do you believe in miracles? I do!

Lets go Rangers.
I can't hear you!
LETS GO RANGERS!

Stay tuned folks! More to come later tonight after the game.
