Yup, although some well deserved wins didn't show up on the scoreboard. Goes both ways.

Don't need to watch much film on ur boy Bernie's shootout tendencies.......

 

Coach: "Aim the puck inside the red pipes, it should go in"

 

Even I picked up on that,.....and I'm American

There was a stoppage with10:01 left in the game and it was 1-0 rangers. I said "The rangers have a chance for a shut-out." A bunch of the fans turned their heads so fast they might need an adjustment before Christmas. A few of them also gave me the stink eye after the goal but I wasn't belligerent and just clapped (maybe a little too long) but there were no issues.

nice seats!

[kickingfrog]

The last couple of off-seasons the building has had major renos. This season there is a new suspended walkway that has some premium seating and a media area. From the comments on twitter the Toronto media that were seeing this new area (and the new centre ice video scoreboard) for the first time were very impressed and said it was the best in the league. My seat was about halfway up the upper bowl and two seats to the left of centre ice.

 

The suspended seating doesn't block the ice for any seats but does block the new scoreboard so on the backside there are 3 very large TV screens. At the bottom of the screen is also a stats area that includes the usual stuff as well as who is on the ice face-off percentage and other tidbits.

eeek sitting up in those back seats is such a waste of money!!!

[tb4me]

Big game tonight..Ranger remains in the lineup.. I cant help but wonder what he has in his back pocket on coach Randy. The guy sucks, Liles has played well every game he has been in and is a plus player. Why we keep trying the Ranger experiment is way beyond me...I had a ittle birdie tell me that Bolland was skating over the holiday break..Thank frig. he will be welcomed back

[Steve]

Ranger is very hot and cold

 

beginning of the season, or really, even the first half of what they have played, ranger has been rough at best.

 

but then every once and a while he comes through and shines.

 

he has been killing penalties.

 

he has been making some good plays.

 

maybe he is coming around.

 

maybe not.

 

we'll see.
