Tramps Like Us…
OK, so maybe this team wasn’t Born to Run away with the Eastern Conference, but they are hanging in there. Before I get into Ranger talk, I want to welcome back Bruce Springsteen references. As you may remember, Steve and I made the trek to Cleveland late last year to see The Boss live. Well, we’re doing it again, that’s right, concert number two for the guys at the NYRangerscast…tomorrow night in Rochester. While I won’t sit here and whine about why Brucey doesn’t play Thunder Road every concert, I will lend you my thoughts on last nights loss to the Islanders.
- How about Henrik? Well…how about him? Do you have any answers for his inconsistent play? No, of course you don’t, thats why you’re not employed by the Rangers. I am not friends with The King, nor do I speak Swedish, but I can see that there is something wrong. Tom Renney says that Lundqvist will start at the Island on Thursday. I think this is a good idea, Hank let in some bad goals on Tuesday but if this is “the franchise goalie” you have to let him play out of his slump. BUT, let’s not forget about Vally, he has been playing very well. So if The King’s slump continues you can’t let Vally sit on the bench for to long.
- Rozsival in the shootout. That was a scratch your head move huh? Maybe Renney was trying to shock the Isles into letting Rozsival score. Can’t say I agree with the call, but than again I am not the coach. I am merely a commentator who gets paid very, very, very little to have an opinion on these kinds of things.
- According to the Rangers Report, Dubi and Gomez didn’t practice today, both are a little sore. These two have been the most exciting Rangers to watch this past month. Both skate with an enthusiasm that is absolutely contagious. No real point here, just a little man love for the two.
The Rangers need the full two points on Thursday and I need to see signs of a turn around from The King. Here’s hoping for that and a little Thunder Road action in Rochester tomorrow.

A tribute to the Boss and some comments on last week’s trades have the potential for a disaster.
With the trade of Al Montoya the Rangers have no credible back up if Lundqvist gets hurt unless they have an every day goaltender wearing a Brilliant Disguise. If Lundqvist goes down it will be a Long Walk Home for all us Ranger fans. And lets face it will we will be the Last to Die for Sather’s Mistake. Sather hopefully was Born to Run as he tries to survive getting through Jungleland on his way to the Meeting on the other side of The River with Lou Lamoriello, because Lou would be the only guy to ever hire him since he could be helping the Cup to return to the Devil’s Arcade.
And speaking of the Devils it was too bad that the Icelanders did not unload Miroslav Satan to them. Just think of the headlines on the back of the New York papers if that trade was made.

SATAN IS A DEVIL!!! hahaha very funny, the funny thing is the hockey would never make the back page, a spring training yankees loss would make it over hockey

As far as Hank, the first goal falls entirely on Malik’s shoulders. It’s not like the Huselius goal from the Calgary game, or any of those. Malik just LET the guy get the puck, and no goalie can stop that puck when it takes those bounces. The Hunter goal was slightly more on his shoulders, but I still don’t blame him that much for that one.

Too bad there was no Thunder Road. But at least you get Rosalita with the sign on the mic stand.
