Isn’t yours???
Well - mine is….
NOT
As the media did when the season started, they basically anointed the Rangers the champs. Just what you need to start up the “Mutant Fans”. And by the way - that does not categorize all Rangers fans. There are many that are good fans, and do not act that way. However, the muppets that do - make Rangers fans the most obnoxious fans in hockey. That is not my opinion, that is of many others that I have encountered.
However, you just do not think that all 29 teams were to bow to you, and let you walk away with the cup, do you?
I dont think so.
The reason that you are down 3-0 is simple. Making the most of the opportunities and not playing stupid. (Ask Ryan Hollweg that…). Taking stupid penalties, not taking advantage of your own situations, and most of all - the wining….
Crying about Crosby…. Take the limelight off of him, and shine it on Malkin. He has abused the Rangers in last night’s game. This has been great seeing the focus on Crosby, because it has allowed others to shine. The defense for Pittsburgh has been brilliant! Blocking shot, taking players to the outside. The Rangers got their chances, but the defense for the Pens have done a great job. The inept Devils D, just made the Rangers think that all other opponents would just succumb to the same play….
I say HA!
By the way Derek Felix… Look at the Detroit series…. Colorado has given more effort than the Islanders have in this playoff series. Right - the Isles are not in it - about as much as Colorado is right now…
Well - let me go to the corner and do some more crying for the Rangers. As Joe Mac would say, they are DOEN!

I don’t recall the year, but it was around the time the Rangers won the Cup. Perhaps, 1992 or 1993, but there was an article in one of the sports magazines about who were the “worst” hockey fans in the NHL according to the players. You guessed it. The Rangers ranked among the most “classless” fans with Detroit Redwings fans. I doubt the caliber of Rangers fans has changed much.
BTW, G, I find it a bit ironic that your colleague on the NYHR back in early January basically stated that the Penguins had no chance of making the playoffs and that the Rangers would finish well ahead of them in the final standings. To be fair, at that time, the Pens were dead last in the division and about 13 or 14 in the conference. However, I recall hearing this sentiment and shaking my head just as much as I heard people declare the Devils wouldn’t make the playoffs when they started off the season so horribly. So, “Big Toe”, what were you saying about the Pens goaltending and how Sid was the only offense they had?
