Hockey Time

It’s been a while. Hopefully I’ll be more frequent in the future…

So my friends have been nagging me to watch hockey. Well I started last week. Since I’m in New York, I’ll be watching the Rangers. It’s a good year to front run with the Rangers, no? The first game I watched was NY vs. the Philadelphia Flyers last Wednesday. Pretty ugly. This Swedish goalie the Rangers have is supposed to be really good, but not tonight. He gives up 5 goals. Rangers lose 6-3. It was pretty exciting though. Jarimir Jagr is a monster out there. I don’t know shit about the sport, but he’s fun to watch! This hockey thing looks like something I can get into.

Tonight I watched the Rangers vs. Sabres from MSG. This backup goalie for the NYR sucks! He gives up 4 goals in 23 shots, I believe. This is in the first 2 periods. Now Renney brings the Swede in and shut down the Sabres for the last period. Now Jagr single-handedly catalyzes the comeback. First he assists in the third goal, then ties it with this nifty little move from behind the net. In overtime, the Sabres do a good job killing off a power play, then they get a breakaway and Lundqvist saves it. Overtime ends and they go to the shootout. Three shots from the Sabres and the Swede saves them all. Fun stuff. I will definitely try to watch more of this sport.
