Congrats to a Class Act

The Washington Capitals have announced that one of the greatest players in franchise history, and one of our all-time favorite players when he was a member of the New York Rangers, Mike Gartner, will have his number 11 retired in a ceremony on December 28.

Gartner tallied 708 career goals, sixth best in NHL history, and spent 10 years with the Caps. He was screwed out of a Stanley Cup when the Rangers dealt him, because then coach Mike Keenan didn't like him, at the 1994 trade deadline for Glen Anderson. Anderson had one big playoff goal, but his biggest contribution was salmon sandwiches for his teammates.

The honor in Washington is long overdue for a player who was inducted into the NHL Hall of Fame in 2001.

Congratulations to a good guy, Mike Gartner!

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.

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.

Close It Out

Rangers-Devils at "The Rock" tonight. Game 5 with the Rangers having a chance to close out the series. Seal the deal!

Rivalry Night

Rangers-Devils at the world's most famous arena and Yankees-Red Sox at the greatest Stadium in all of sports. Hopefully we get a repeat of last Friday night when the Rangers beat the Devils in NJ and Chien-Ming Wang 2-hit the Red Sox in Boston.

We'll be flipping back and forth, but most of our focus will be on the NHL playoff game.

What to Do...What to Do?

Yankees vs. Red Sox...but it's only April. The answer is clear, if you've got Tivo, VCR, DVR...whatever, that's the way to go. Because tonight is Game 2, Rangers - Devils at The Rock!

This is what made last night's Yankees game less aggravating.
