Not much happening on the ice, not much happening here, not much happening inside my cluttered skull.

I did cringe a little bit when I saw that Bob Gainey resigned as Canadiens GM … because I always fear how great players might damage their legacies when they go into management or coaching. So my first thought [...]

Who Dat gonna beat them Rangers (out of a playoff spot)?

You know I like to sprinkle in the good with the bad, the positive with the negative. Right?

Well, we talked the other day about how the Rangers are right in the thick of the race, and how there’s nobody going to run and hide from [...]

No ground rules. If you want to talk hockey, go ahead. Or anything else, as usual.

Just pass the byfuglien Buffalo wings and pigs-n-blankets.

Kickoff (also known as K.O. Time!) is supposed to be 6:25 p.m.

Oh, there is one rule. If you’re going to drink, DO NOT DRIVE!

Three days off for the Rangers, well-deserved after last night’s solid win over the Devils … but maybe they’d want to keep playing, no?

This break marks the end of the grueling schedule of 21 games in 36 with only two breaks of two days between games, and in one of those breaks they were traveling [...]

I’m going back to the “go time” headlines because, well, you can’t possibly think these headlines are good or back luck anymore. Can you?

Plus, I don’t have anything to tell you, being at basketball games all day, including right now. So here’s your blank canvas. I’ll check in during the game.

I have a feeling there [...]

Well, you wanted Ilya Kovalchuk at the Garden? You got him. Only in the wrong uniform. For you guys, the worst uniform possible.

I’ve got to tell you, though, I think this Devils visit is as good a time as ever: Super Saturday. The Rangers have played some outstanding games against the Devils this year, and [...]

Well, there are a few things on which you can hang your hat today. The five goals. The four PPGs.

Mostly, you can hang your hat on how dreadful the Leastern Conference is, because somehow, after getting two of a possible 16 points the last eight games, your Rangers are still only in 10th place, only [...]

From the Rangers:

NEW YORK RANGERS POST-GAME NOTES
February 4, 2010 – New York Rangers 5, Washington Capitals 6 (Game #58, Home #30)
·         The Rangers were defeated by the Washington Capitals, 6-5, tonight at Madison Square Garden; the 11 combined goals were the most at MSG since a 7-4 win on Nov. 23 vs. Columbus.
·         The Blueshirts [...]

Not bad enough that the Caps haven’t lost in forever (11 straight wins), and they have that monster who loves to light it up at MSG, and all of a sudden Jose Three-or-More is Two-or-Fewer.

The Rangers come in having gained just two out of the last possible 14 points, which puts you in a fast [...]
