Olga, your advice, to “take solace in the fact that they are among the league leaders” sums up the ethos of this blog almost perfectly. The idea that you’d need to TAKE SOLACE in the Rangers doing so well this year and over the last five years is an insult to any true, long-suffering fan. To me, it is a post-’94 attitude not to enjoy every minute of this ride. This is franchise, don’t forget, that wins a Cup every 50 years or so–it’s who they are–and yet any time they lose a game, it’s season over, trade everyone, fire AV, etc. Which is probably why I love this place. But LGR anyway!

I did sort of offer solace sarcastically. Just to get them past a bad loss. This is, in reality a losing franchise. (And statistically for me so is Chicago). That says nothing though for the future, unless your some religious nut that believes everything is foreordained. I’m satisfied to sit back and enjoy the ride. 1994 was spectacular, I’m glad I got to go through it. Ditto for the latest Chicago Cup wins. The Rangers will win or lose without my crying, whining, hoping and cheering.

The Pens were contained in the last two games they played. AV and company have to come up with a different game plan when they play the Pens. Sully has his number right now. Trading chances with them doesn’t work. If they can play the Hawks tough they ought to be able to play a tight game with the Pens.

Keep VC with Hayes & Miller. Kreider with Mika and the Ruskie when they return. Maybe Hank asks to be traded! This team needs elite talent Tank for Nolan Patrick! This team sucks! Good morning fellow Boneheads on to Minnesota if they lose Friday I won’t let it ruin my Christmas!
