To all those who don't know already know.

Alright I know it has been a long time. First congrats on the win over the devils where I got to watch the greatest goalie in the history of the world (lies) fall apart because of a couple of bumps and a few choice words. Wow, good luck next year when he does the same thing to you again... Sorry Marty as long as the Rangers and Avery are anywhere near the playoffs it looks like you won't be advancing past them... Well until you are relieved from your duties as Devil's goalie or you retire then you have a chance.

Moving on... So far the Penguins and the refs have sufficiently put the rangers in a whole down 2-0. Yes, the Rangers can and still might win this series but they need to stop worrying about whether or not Sydney Crosby can skate because let's face it. His inability to remain on his feet is what is driving the Rangers up the wall. Let's let the coach (who shouldn't bring it up again until the series is over) and the media bring it up and mock this piece of shit out the door because this diving shit is getting ridiculous. So my advice let him fall let him do whatever, go down with him or just give him a stick to the face. Avery has got the right idea. Nothing better than hitting a diver when he is down with a stick because it is not... and I will repeat this for the refs (who don't read this blog) NOT HIGH STICKING! Make him eat the stick he will stop falling down if he either catches a knee to the face, a slap shot in his face, or a stick to the face. Why isn't the NHL saying anything? This is probably the best question of the evening... Hell even the black father from Mighty Ducks wouldn't stand for his kid's diving why should Gary Bettman? For fuck sake are you telling me that the refs and the authority figures in a fucking Disney movie are better than at the NHL level??? Come on now Gary. Now I know Sid the kid doesn't have much free time because he is god's gift to the NHL with all of the publicity that he has been doing since he got to this level, but come on now a prerequisite to coming to the NHL is being able to skate if you can't do that go away.

2 penalties where no amount of yelling, screaming or complaining could possibly cover how angry I was. Dubinsky for tripping a player he did not touch, and Straka for interfering with a player who ran into him; not the other way around. Who drew both of those? Damn it was 87... looks like there is another new rule in the NHL its the 87 rule, whichever ref gets the most calls for the Penguins when Sydney hits the ice gets next season off, all expenses paid salary included for the to someplace warm for the winter.

Let's face it though, Lundqvist was sub-par in game one and so was the defense so they in the end, because of a bad call lost the game. Not a good thing... and I hate when the referees influence the outcome of the game, but the Rangers put themselves in that position. Game 2 more of the same when the complained they got more penalties called the other way, and got more powerplays... to no avail because not one person on it knows what he is supposed to be doing. Dubinsky stop carrying the puck and get to the front of the net and don't move. Let Straka and Jagr play with the puck. No need for you to do anything but be a distraction and take up a man. Group 2 patience!!!!! Someone show the defensemen the tape of Paul Martin scoring that goal in the first series, for the love of god fake a shot get someone on their stomach and move! It's not that hard if a Devil's player not named Niedermayer or Rafalski can do you can too. It's not all that hard, fake the shot and move then shoot or pass. Seriously, if we can find away to miss the net more or hit more shin pads that are wearing black socks I will be impressed.

Alright until next game where I will surely be drunk as I make my next post.
