Comments on: And now for more conjecture and speculation http://rangers.lohudblogs.com/2008/04/25/and-now-for-more-conjecture-and-speculation/ News and insight about the New York Rangers by Rick Carpiniello Fri, 10 Feb 2012 19:36:27 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: ogerp jr http://rangers.lohudblogs.com/2008/04/25/and-now-for-more-conjecture-and-speculation/#comment-83408 ogerp jr Fri, 25 Apr 2008 17:41:17 +0000 http://rangers.lohudblogs.com/2008/04/25/and-now-for-more-conjecture-and-speculation/#comment-83408 a couple of things that a lot of analyst and fans are overlooking, with respect to this series match up and avery's mind games. everyone is analyzing the obvious comparisons- forwards, defense, goalies, coaching, etc. but what about toughness and enforcers? aside from the obvious, the rangers beat the devils because we were the tougher team. avery for the most part, against the devils, got away with murder. so much, as to, the league intervening and creating "the avery rule." it was fortunate for us, the devils had no true enforcer to "teach" avery a lesson. (lol, who was it clarkson?) rewind to the trade deadline, the penguins made a trade for 6'3, 240lb - George Laraque. something tells me he'll play a bigger role in this series than most will expect. avery is an agitator NOT an enforcer. i think avery will do his best to get in the heads of the pens. but something tells me the pens will have laraque focused on keeping avery in line. a couple of things that a lot of analyst and fans are overlooking, with respect to this series match up and avery’s mind games.

rewind to the trade deadline, the penguins made a trade for 6’3, 240lb – George Laraque.

He was there by himself as he wasn't playing. Chatted with him for a minute or two but have no idea what either of us said as i was so drunk. Anyway mentioned it to Shanny at the chartity thing I met him at in Nantucket last summer and he said he had gone there too after the game. I've been to Local a ton before and never knew the team hung out there after games. Anyone else ever run into any players there post games or was it just a fluke?

I just wish that fiend Dolan wouldn't gouge us so much. He charged almost the same amount for playoff tickets as the entire season plan. A possible 16 games vs. about 45 (including preseason).

But I could live with that place the way it is forever. I'm glad they're not moving it across the street. I know that msg really needs it, b/c I’m not crazy about the gnats that fly around up top.

I was at the last game last season and still had a great time. I bought 2 single tix. In the 200's, about 4-5 sections apart. Sent my chick to sit in the corner and sat at center ice myself. is that bad? I think they were about $200 each. Not bad considering where the seats were, but not together. 100% dude.

Haven’t decided yet. I’m hoping that Lundqvist will help me decide ;) ..... going to wait and see how they look? probably not a bad idea... I'm interested in going down because theres nothing like that energy...but the truth is for a spectator I am able to enjoy the gameplay much more at home, all the instant replays you want, pause, no lines to drain it, and the beer is chaeper from the fridge.... that said... nothing like live playoffs in the garden... nothing.
