Round Two

We've got the fever...NHL Playoffs fever. Round 2 started last night and tonight the Rangers have their first conference semi-final game with the Pengiuns at "The Igloo".

Here are 2nd Round predictions (and hopes).

Rangers over the Penguins in 6. Must must must keep the Pens off the power play or Crosby and Malkin will kill ya.

Canadians over the Flyers in 7. Should be a great battle. The Flyers are playing hot, but the Canadians got a huge life by winning game 1 in oT.

Sharks over the Stars in 6. We've been impressed by this Sharks team all season even though we couldn't tell you half the players this year. We do know that Evgani Nabakov has been great in goal and that should make the difference.

Red Wings over the Avalanche in 5. Not quite the war it was when Claude Lemieux, Patrick Roy, Darren McCarty, and Kris Draper were involved (though the latter two are still on the Wings). We're just not taken with this Avalanche team. Peter Forsberg is not the old PF.

LETS GO RANGERS!!!

Bring on the Conference Semis

We're to tired and disgusted to discuss the Yankees-Orioles game at Camden Yards tonight. But our evening was made joyful by the New York Rangers. The Broadway Blueshirts scored early and often and then held off a charging New Jersey Devils team, for a 5-3 win. The Rangers took the series in 5 games and now move on to the conference semi-finals against an undetermined opponent.

Lets Go Rangers!!!

Yankee Stadium is getting closer to having the New York Rangers and the NHL close out the grand old place with an outdoor hockey contest. Spurred on by the popularity of this season's Penguins-Sabres match, the NHL has been working with Yankees officials to try to set something up for the Stadium.

"It's something we've spoken both to the Yankees and to the city about," NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly told The News. "But it's not a done deal. There are still other possibilities and a lot of moving pieces."

Most insiders feel that the game should be played against a fellow "Original Six" team - Boston Bruins, Montreal Canadians, Chicago Black Hawks, Detroit Red Wings - to maximize the television ratings.
