Some how you have to talk about how the Islanders out of all teams stole what the Rangers do after they win..With the stick salute to the fans...I know the Rangers got the idea from the european players...B/c thats what they do in Europe..But for 3 seasons no team has touched it...It a great thing they have done..and now out of all the teams their biggest rival copies them....Unreal..just unreal...way to reunion islanders..just another ploy to bring fans in....Dont they get it..Just win hockey games , build a new arena..But the amount of corny things the islanders do is out of control..As you can see Im a Ranger fan. Maybe if they stopped making the team a marketing venture and instead making them a hockey team....they would get some fans...sorry for the choppy writing just dont get what they are trying to do sometimes...you know most of the players would not want to copy what the rangers do for their fans.
dont worry john, they dont win enough games, you will probaly never ever see them raise their sticks
Actually, it's the Icelanders who never win any games. Sorry, my bad. Now back to mommy reading me my bedtime story.
The versus color commentator for game 1 was useless. Completely unprepared, and no insights or meaningful analysis offered.
I have been a Ranger fan since 1964. I have really enjoyed keeping up with The Rangers by reading Steve's blog. Can't wait till next year
