Please make it quick and painless. The Rangers have tortured me enough.
Get to work this AM, and waiting for the elevator. A guy in his 50's or so walks in and sees my Rangers hat...
Guy: "Tryin to bring some luck to them tonight with that hat?"
Me: "Yeah man, gotta do it tonight. One game at a time..."
Guy: "It's crazy, they're getting beat by blocked shots"
Me: "Just like Tortorella's team in 2012, now we know how it feels. Hopefully we can get it done tonight though. Just have to believe"
Guy: "Well, I personally hope they don't..."
Me: "Ha...you an Islanders fan?"
Guy: "Nope....Devils fan....have a good day"
:he walks out of elevator:
**** THAT GUY!!!!!!!!!!!!

Saw a guy on the LIRR wearing his Rangers jersey to work. That guy is my idol.
Saw the same thing. What train were you on?
Who was it that said they wanted to "aim for/maybe hit the Rangers in the head" or something in 2012 when the Rangers were blocking so many shots...
Was it the Caps?
I believe it was.
I remember in the 2012 playoffs, every analyst was murdering Torts saying it was "anti-hockey" and ridiculous and they should make rules against shot blocking.
Now the Caps are playing an almost identical gameplan and instead Barry Trotz is a genius.
This game is going to be a rout one way or another. Either the Rangers go out and smoke them, or the Caps get and early lead and they roll from there. First goal of the game will be key.
Pull the goalie in the first period!!! lol
If this is our last game this season(I hope not), I want to say a big thanks to all the fans here, regardless of all the disagreements we had. It was a fun year and it wouldn't be possible without all of you.
You should see how convinced the main board is that the NBC broadcast is pro-Rangers. It makes me want to flip my desk in the air.
