Someone at Yahoo! Sports Has a Good Sense of Humor

Over at Yahoo! Sports, every player and many former players have profiles.  Each player has a number and that number is part of the link to their profile.  For example, the link to Wayne Gretzky’s profile is http://sports.yahoo.com/nhl/players/1.  How obvious.
I’m bored at work so I have been putting in random numbers and searching for specific [...]

Postgame Thoughts: Rangers v. Douchelanders

Hello again, everyone. I know Eric and I are horrible at being consistent with this blog, but we’re doing our best. We are, after all, terribly disabled. What’s this crippling disability which afflicts us, you ask? We’re lazy.
Anyfart, last night’s Monday’s game against the Long Island Douchebags was mighty fun, was [...]

Rangers @ Islanders – Game Preview

The Rangers faceoff agaisnt the Islanders for the first time this season.  Rick “body of glass” DiPietro will be riding pine with some sort of injury (chronic sucking) while backup Joey MacDonald gets a go at it.
I’m pretty sure the last time MacDonald was in goal against the Rangers, he was a Bruin and he [...]

The ol’ nine-minute power play

That’s right.  Last night in Calgary, the Capitals had a NINE-MINUTE POWER PLAY.  Now, one might ask, “How do you get a nine-minute power play?”
Like this:

Tyler Sloan gets a nice open-ice hit and then Rene Bourque pounces on him.  Bourque was given 4 penalties.  A five-minute major for fighting, a two-minute [...]

Rangers waive Rissmiller; Brendan Shanahan, come on down!

The Rangers freed up some room on their cap by waiving Rissmiller.  (Ideally for the Rangers, nobody else will claim him, and he will end up in Hartford for the season.)
I don’t know about everyone else, but I’d much rather see Brendan Shanahan skating along side Drury and Naslund than a constantly rotating winger group [...]

Postgame Thoughts – Rangers v. Dallas (a.k.a. The Sean Avery Show)

(Yes, this is late.  Midterms.  Suck it.)
Really? – The Dallas Stars? – They’re 1-3-1, and we can’t beat them? Seriously?
I’ll be quite honest, I was looking forward to this game since this season’s schedule came out. Actually, I look forward to The Lundqvist Bowl every year (more on that later), but this year [...]

Can you name all 30 NHL teams in 5 minutes?

Mental Floss has a new quiz up to keep us hockey fans busy.  As you can tell from the title of this post,  it asks you to name all 30 teams in under 5 minutes.  I did it with 3:18 left on the clock.  Can you guys do it faster than me?  Post your time [...]

Oh Puck Daddy, How You Help Me Waste Time

If none of y’all read Greg Wyshynski’s hockey blog on Yahoo!Sports, then we simply cannot be friends anymore. Puck Daddy is a staple in my daily blog-check, and in today’s Puck Headlines, he included this little gem which, blame it on me just waking up from a nap if you so wish, left my [...]

Maple Leafs (1-1-1) @ Rangers (5-1-0) – Game Preview

OK they lost.  It was bound to happen eventually.  Let’s just move on and see if they can rebound from such a terrible outing.
There are a few roster changes to note:

Stephen Valiquette will get the start tonight to give Henrik Lundqvist a break for tomorrow’s game in Detroit.
Lauri Korpikoski will be scratched with an arm [...]

Rangers lose 3-1. You don’t mess with the Paul Mara.

The Sabres downed the lackluster Rangers last night by a score of 3-1.  The Rangers only managed 9 shots through 2 periods, and never seemed to get it together.
The turning point came midway through the 2nd period with the game tied at 1, when Paul Mara dropped his gloves and unleashed a barrage of punches [...]
