So, I went to MSG to see the Rangers in a must win game

[Jersey Wing 1,521]

I got tickets earlier this week (right after they came back against Boston) when I saw what a huge game it would be for them and MSG is a pretty rocking crowd. Caught the PATH over to 33rd and walked those crushing two blocks over to MSG.

Yep, that was pretty much the highlite, the anticipation, because once the puck dropped they stunk outloud. For a team supposedly desperate for points they snored their way through this one. You'd think the first period shots would be like 15-4 or something vs out of it Atlanta. It was 11-10 Rags. I love Lundqvist, that guy is aces. Oh yeah, Rangers fans --sit DOWN when play is going on. This is like the third time I've noticed this. What is it with this Night of the Living Dead wandering around up and down and along the aisles during play? The Devils do what the Red Wings do in stopping people from wandering at least one direction during play but MSG is madness. I walked by to get my new baby nephew a chachki at the store and winced in horror as people were standing around eating food and drinking beer and just hanging out ignoring the game but for the casual glance at the teevee. It seems hockey has become a gathering place and not the reason some of these older 20 and young 30's go anymore. One last point before the pics, Rangers fans cannot trash Devils fans for not selling out games. I saw an easy 700-1000 empty seats last night in big blocks.

Some from my iPhone's 1970's instamatic setting (Don't stare at the flash cube), some not. In those older ones you can almost see 1970's Rangers stars Brad Park and Ron Greschner and look, for Atlanta it's Pat Quinn and Eric Vail

I caught this game on tv last night while flipping back and forth between the Tigers/O's game (which by the way was equally disappointing) and I couldnt agree more with how much of a joke the Rags performance was. Their PP stinks and missing Callahan is huge for them. With the way Carolina is playing their playoff hopes are in serious jeopardy. This was seriously a tough game to watch, not only because it was boring but because the Rangers were so hot the passed little while only for them to throw up a stinker in basically their biggest game to date. The only saving grace for me was that I bet the Under

Cool pictures! I like that 70s effect.

Very disappointing game. A few of my buddies are Rangers fans and I used to live outside of NY as a kid and cheered for them as my second team. I was pulling for them last night, but you are right... a completely uninspired effort. Not having Callahan hurts, but come on.

I've always said this about the Rangers the past few years: they are the laziest team in the NHL. On paper, they have an incredible amount of talent, but so many players who will never live up to their potential.

On the other hand the stars have actually showed up in their last few games

I was thinking the same thing
