one of the debbies biggest flops so far has been Madden. he is not moving his feet, he is loafing, and he is a negative defensively. not like him at all. minus 3 in the first game,and very poor so far tonight.

Thanks, Dan. I think I figured out something for the next post, which is up now.

Beer Me, I also don’t want to make a big deal out of the ice at MSG, but one of the problems is that almost every other arena—or every arena—is at or below street level. MSG’s arena floor is on the fifth floor of a building that sits atop a railroad station, which sits above subway tracks. I honestly believe that has more to do with it than the constant use of the building. Either that or it’s the stink from the Knicks.

I love the team work of the beat writers here. Fixing paragraphs and the like. Good stuff and keep up the great work!

Here’s a decent summary of possible 3rd jerseys:

Good riddens to the third jersey. Not even sure why I thought of that considering the time of season.

LGR!

@ Brandon –

No 3rd jerseys were made by Reebok this year. I read somewhere that SOME of the teams will get 3rd jerseys next season, but I don’t think NYR was one of them.

What upstateranger said. We didn’t hardly see them, we never saw them (great marketing job by RBK to tell everyone about the new Edge jerseys haha). We aren’t getting them back next year either because I don’t think the Rangers submitted for one. If I can find the list of teams that submitted approval for a 3rd jersey, I’ll let you know. It’ll either take place this upcoming year or the year after.

“Its a PSE & G Powerplay folks, wave your towels!!! PU$$YS!”

No no no. As the fan next to me said “Let’s Get Ready for the PSE&G POWER OUTAGE!!!” haha it was pretty funny. almost as funny was the Devils fan in front of us sayin “hey we’re not ConEd”.

I think with the new Reebok jerseys (“sweaters”), no third was offered this season.

I was thinking about this the other day. We’ve hardly seen the Rangers in the third jersey all year. Frankly, I think this is a good thing as A. I’m not a third jersey kind of guy; B. I’d be willing to bet the third jersey has a sub .500 all-time record; C. We look better in the traditional Ranger blue.

Is there a reason why we don’t wear too often anymore, be it marketing or superstition? Anyone know?
