Never Say Die Blueshirts gave us something special

Posted on June 17, 2022 by Derek Felix

Posted on April 14, 2022 by Derek Felix

There was another game on the schedule. That was a good thing for the Rangers, who easily won by a count of 4-0 over the hapless Flyers in the City of Brotherly Love. It was an easy rebound win for … Continue reading →

Devils’ lost home week only increases the angst of fans

Posted on December 11, 2021 by hasan4978

I can’t even figure out where to begin with this blog. There’s so much I want to say about this franchise, and yet I have so little interest in saying it at this point. It’s sort of a dual personality … Continue reading →

Blueshirts Flying high following latest win over Flyers, Kakko stays hot and Shesterkin stands tall, time to get rid of Georgiev

Posted on December 2, 2021 by Derek Felix

Dominant Lightning Bolts on the verge of history, why going to a Stanley Cup game is worth everything, salty NYR fans, Price vs Lundqvist, a funny Del Zotto exchange

Posted on July 3, 2021 by Derek Felix

Maybe I should’ve known better. But admittedly, I didn’t. I thought the Canadiens could give the Lightning a series. So far, the Bolts are proving why they’re defending champs. They’ve flexed their championship muscle to outscore the Habs 14-5 in … Continue reading →

Flyers spell the end for underwhelming Rangers, top stars MIA, Shestyorkin hung out to dry, Zac Jones makes NHL debut

Posted on April 23, 2021 by Derek Felix

Rangers left blue after costly one-goal loss to Flyers, Morin gets winner to ruin good game from Shestyorkin, Adios Lemieux! Hell-o Kravtsov!

Posted on March 27, 2021 by Derek Felix
