Schedule's Out

I was a the dentist last night for my regular check up. When I was done I made my next appointment for January 21. As soon as I did it I figured that would without a doubt turn out to be Graves night for sure. Much to my amazement, the Rangers have an off night on Jan 21. Now it's just that two weeks I'll be gone in February to worry about. Want to start taking bets that Graves night will fall some night between Feb 13 and 29?

Check the entire schedule here.

NOOOOOOooooooo!

I couldn't be more disapointed. How is this a good move for the Rangers? I just don't understand at all.

An article Avery wrote for Men's Vogue

(Thank you Jon for forwarding this article to us)

I guess this is the last time we will see Avery wearing a Ranger jersey...thanks to Sather. Apparently he is the only person who is unable to comprehend the Ranger's loosing record without him.

questions on free agency

Can anyone tell me why, oh why, the Rangers are courting Mats Sundin? Today's Post. Do they need another center? A 37 year old center? Really? Reminds me of the old days when the Rangers were most famous for overpaying over the hill players. JUST SAY NO! They could get Avery plus a defenseman for the money Sundin is going to cost.

And speaking of, I'm really aggravated and puzzled by this one. Sather had decided NOT to resign Avery. OK, we know the guy's an asshole. But he's our asshole. Just look at the with Avery v without stats. Without him the Rangers have very little team toughness. (I'm taking a wait and see approach on the kid they signed from Sweden.) He forces the opposition to play a different game when he's on the ice. Ask Marty! Did he sleep with Sather's daughter? Is there something I'm missing?

Jagr.
Why is this taking so long? He's said he's in for a year, two tops. Then he's going home to play for his dad. Perfect all we need is a year, two tops. Why is this hard? Just get it done. I'm bored already.

The draft.
Honestly, I have no idea. I don't make a habit of following Canadian high school hockey. Let me know how these kids have developed when they're old enough to drink.

I hope you're all having a lovely summer!

NY Ice Bowl melting

I'm not a regular Newsday reader so I'm picking up on this a bit late. Newsday is reporting that the idea of the Rangers closing Yankee Stadium is quickly fading. Read all about it here.

I didn't realize they were talking about holding the game in November rather than on New Year's Day. After that snow swirling spectacle in Buffalo last year holding an outdoor hockey game in November seems anticlimactic. November = fall colors = Thanksgiving = football. January frost, freezing temps, ice, snow, now that's hockey.

It's too bad, I was all geared up to pile on my woolies and ring in the new year at the old stadium.
