NYR Rumour
Here's another fake rumour for you all.
Rangers sign Forsberg to 3 year, $15m contract. It's a perfect fit for the team, after all, they still have about $25m in Cap space for next year ringht now, right?
Right?

I <3 New York
I felt kind of bad yesterday, picking on the New York Rangers. Not about attacking Jaromir Jagr, short of killing someone, he represents everything I hate in sports. But the Rangers as an organization have made a few steps forward this season, and haven't been too offensive compared to some of the crap they've pulled in the past.
Ok, I'm lying. I never feel bad about picking on the Rangers. And stories like the one reported in Newsday show why I think it's a no-class organization from top to bottom. Apparently during the Islanders/Rangers tilt on Tuesday, the affectionately known "Rag fags" tried to take out their frustrations with their manhood on the Ice Girls of the Islanders.
It's nice to know "King Henrik" is still the King of douchebaggery. During the next timeout, more trouble ensued . . .
The worst part about this? It made Chanel Benson cry. That's right, the acts by the Rangers players were so despicable it made a poor girl CRY.
I'm sorry the Rangers were all jerks to you, Snow Hoes of the New York Islanders. If you need someone to comfort you, I'll be on the next train up.
And for those of you stuck at work, here's some eye candy to help you get through the day.

Rangers goaltender Henrik Lundqvist declined to move and used his stick to whack the squeegee Kelli Higgins, 23, was using to push the snow into a pile during the first TV timeout, knocking the butt end of the squeegee stick into her stomach.

Benson skated near the boards in front of both benches, which are separated only by a panel of glass located at the center red line."All of a sudden, my back got wet," said Benson, who was wearing a standard outfit of pants and top that leaves the midriff area exposed. "I believe one of the Rangers players who was sitting along the wall spit on my back. It had to be on purpose because I wasn't directly in front of anyone to spit and not realize I was there."

In game blogging 2/10/07
Caps and Rangers in progress.
1st Period.
If you ever wanted to know what's wrong with the NHL, tonight is a perfect example of it .
The Rangers are bare hugging the caps every time they have the puck in the offensive zone with out a call. They are setting picks in the offensive zone with no call. They are running Olie Kolzig repeatedly, knocking him down on three occasions, without a call. Yet the other way, Lunquist goes down without any actual contact, and gets the call. There should have been TWO additional rangers penalties on that play, Lunquist for diving, and Hollweg for instigating, yet neither was called.
For some weird reason, the Caps scratched Clymer, despite his tenacious play (including a goal) last game. Let's hope this isn't injury related.
Did Comcast Sports Net fire their replay guys? Because they sure aren't showing many tonight.
Annoying trumpet guy is in the house, makes me almost glad my basketball league ran late tonight, preventing me from going.
2nd Period
So in light of what I said about the Rangers setting picks in the previous period, I started a tally on the number of picks set by them in the second, and got to 5. That's FIVE minor penalties that should have been called but weren't.
Unfortunately, Clark got 2 minutes for having the stick slashed out of his hands, and the Rangers score on a nice rebound shot to make it 2-1. Now both teams have a lucky goal, as that rebound took a perfect bounce off a rangers skate to set up Hossa.
Good fight by Brashear. I'm still wondering why there wasn't an instigator in the first period on that fight. It was pretty much a textbook case right there.
The Caps need to send Boston a dozen flowers for giving us Milan Jurcina. He continues to impress with his physical play.
I want to personally thank Locker for promising not to wear high heels during the "Hockey And Heels" promo that the Caps are doing.
Ok, back down for the third. I'll be back sometime after the game to wrap things up.
3rd Period
After thirty bear hugs, that weren't called, a bear hug is finally called and the Caps get another fluky goal.
But of course, the officiating won't let this be a good game or anything, because Avery goes down, elbows Olie in the head, which translates to two for roughing on Olie.
Our pick count for this period was 4, bringing our total for the game (that I saw) to 15. That's FIFTEEN minor penalties that should have been called but weren't.
Anyone know where Joe B was? I'm tired of hearing Koken call Ovechkin "Jagr" and him calling Lundquist "Lundmark."
The NHL needs to look at today's game as a textbook example of why the NHL is bleeding fans.
