How Bout Them New York RAN-gers

Well, fellow hockey fans, the New York Rangers won again last night with the King...Henrik Lundqvist getting another shutout They are just clicking on all cylinders. This weekend is the All-Star game...YAWN...never watch em...but it is nice the Rangers lead the Eastern Conference. Yes there is a lot of hockey to go til playoff time, but right now things are looking good. LET'S GO RAN-GERS!!!!!!!!!

How do you decide?

As a Jet fan whose team has been eliminated from the playoffs, you like to see certain teams, beat teams you don't like in the AFC. However, The Broncos play the Patriots today and I can't stand either of em. What a dilemma!

Now that football is over...and a musical note

..as far as The Jets are concerned, it is time to focus on The New York Rangers....who are doing very well. Yes I know it is only January and they have a habit of tanking around playoff time, but I think with the team they have this year, they can go quite far in the playoffs. Lundqvist has been totally awesome, as well as Brad Richards, Del Zotto among others....so as the saying goes..Let's Go Ran-gers!!!
Plus, I forgot to mention that I saw Los Lobos at The City Winery on New Years Eve, a nice small venue in Soho in NYC. Most excellent. Among the great tunes they did, they did a lot of covers including The Grateful Dead's Bertha...which I have seen before, but also The Dead's West L.A. Fade Away which was fantastic. And for those who know of this, they also did a Doug Sahm and Texas Tornado tune She's About A Mover. Haven't heard that tune in YEARS.

No Playoffs for You!

Those who read this here blog may have noticed that I have not talked about the Jets too much as of late. Well that ends now. I know they made the AFC Championship game 2 years in a row and that is very commendable. Having said that, I observed from game one, that Sanchez looked like he regressed. Yes he had some good moments but had more bad moments. He needs to learn not to panic when flushed out of the pocket..like today when he threw more picks. Schottenheimer MUST go. They need an offensive co-ordinator who calls more imaginative plays. They need an offensive line to protect the quarterback. They need a pass rush to sack the other teams quarterbacks. They need a defense that stops teams on third downs and not give up big plays...especially that horrible 99 yard td run by the Giants last week. That is all my ranting for now. I did forget to mention Rex. With all his bravado and statements he makes, I still like him. He brought life into this team, although he maybe should tone down his statements, but Rex is Rex and that won't change. It will be an interesting off-season to say the least.

For 2012

I WISH EVERYONE A HAPPY, HEALTHY, AND PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR!
