Dick Rosenthal {l Wrote}:The theory offered at TSN is that the league needs another marketable superstar and Ovie needs a ring to get there. I don't know if I buy that and one would think the League would do everything in its power to advance the Rangers--after all, 1994 was the last time the League was relevant within the national sports conscience--but the execrable, clutch and grab hockey the League has allowed says otherwise.
Even last night, it was remarkable to see how much the Caps got away with. I don't think Green or Carlson even bother to play with two hands on their sticks in the defensive zone and let's face it Orpik was essentially finished as a serviceable defensemen last year and has made a comeback by clutching, grabbing and boarding.
I have no idea what will happen in Game 6, but as generally pessimistic as I am about the Rangers I am also mindful that Ovie, Backstrom and Trotz are all first rate choke artists and that God hates the worst and least knowledgeable fans in all of professional sports. They can all suck a dick and commiserate about their general suckieness with all the other douchenozzles who listen to Elliot in the Morning.

Have to say I'm not a big Keith Yandle fan, he is afraid of contact and his clearing attempts are always soft and up the middle.

Dick Rosenthal {l Wrote}:It is interesting. I thought Yandle played well against Pittsburgh. He was awful in this series, which is entirely the product of his being soft. I suspect he will play well against Tampa because they won't hit him.
I still despise Ovechkin and the Caps in general, but I have to say that he left it all on the ice and played against his typical dog shit big game performance. Orpik is a bitch, always has been and always will be. I'll still don't forgive him for his awful performance against North Dakota in Providence. I think Scuderi covered up a lot of his flaws. And there is no doubt he deserved 5 minutes and an ejection. It was nice to see Kreider bury him on a clear towards the end of the 3rd period.
Brouwer and Backstrom live down the street (Ovie used to, but has since moved to Great Falls). Thinking about putting a Property of the NY Rangers sign in their front yards. Good times.
