Game 48. The ticket contest is now closed. Thank you for playing. And a special thank you to the guys who did it wrong (deep exhale of exasperation). And may I just say that it’s going to be really easy to judge the contest if the Devils win the game,... Read More →

Back to the hockey season
I’m back from my little, ahem, vacation. Got the cleanest garage in the Northeast. Anyway, I guess the All-star game was as good as it could have been from a Rangers standpoint, with all ya boys—MVP Marian Gaborik, Henrik Lundqvist, Dan Girardi, Smilin’ John Tortorella and Carl Hagelin—front and center… Read More →
It’s Go Time! … All-star game
And to celebrate the All-star game in Kanata, Ontario, the Empire State Building today will be lit completely in Orange crud to honor Claude Giroux, Kimo Timonen, Scott Hartnell, and of course Ed Snider and Comcast and the Broad Street Bullies. … with the complete approval of the NHL, of… Read More →
Almost the end of All-star weekend!
Man, it’s slow up in here during the break. As should have been expected, I guess. I got nothing for youse today, nor am I supposed to even be here ‘til tomorrow. Here’s your blank canvas. We’ll do “It’s Go Time!” before the game this afternoon (4 p.m. on NBC).
It’s Go Time … All-star skills competition night
No, not those skills competitions. Not those breakaway contests that they sometimes hold AFTER the hockey game ends. Tonight is the real skills competition, featuring the NHL’s all-stars, including ya boys, Henrik Lundqvist, Marian Gaborik, Carl “Haggar” Hagelin (who may be faster than Gaborik, according to a tweet by Gaborik)...

Guest blogger: Authorben (Part II)
So in Part I yesterday, I chronicled the Rangers rockin’ first half. But in order to see more stick salutes, its time for them to do the real heavy lifting. Teams will be desperate for playoff position. Points will be harder to come by. And now, they have become the… Read More →

Guest blogger: Authorben (Part I)
First and foremost, thanks to Carp for letting me take a couple of shifts for him this week. I’m grateful for the opportunity. It certainly has been an interesting and incredible first half of the season for the Rangers. Who could have imagined they’d be in first place overall in… Read More →
Rangers-Jets review
Someone asked Henrik Lundqvist last night if he knew the Jets hadn’t won the second part of a back-to-back all season. He laughed and said he didn’t, then insisted it didn’t matter. Some team will always be the first, he said. Despite sitting atop the Eastern Conference at the break,... Read More →

Hello, everyone. Glad to be with you again. I’m in for Carp at tonight’s game, still 26 years young. I had been told/warned John Tortorella’s pregame chats with the media were brief. Well, safe to say there will be ovations during tonight’s “State of the Union” that last longer than… Read More →

Here’s a column I wrote for The Journal News and LoHud.com yesterday: **************************** The last time the Rangers played a hockey game with somebody other than Ryan Callahan as their captain, Callahan was on crutches. He was on crutches because, in the biggest game of 2010-11, Game 80 of 82,... Read More →
