Thanks to Longtime Reader Lou (who was responsible for my seat upgrade a few weeks ago during that not-very-fun Sharks game at MSG), I got a ticket into the Garden of Dreams charity event last night at The Garden.It was a great night with a free buffet (featuring prime rib), an open bar, Adam...
One quarter of the way through the 2009-10 NHL season, the New York Islanders are tied for fifth place in the Eastern Conference.Did you ever, in your wildest dreams, envision this scenario? Last year, around this time, the season peaked as the Islanders approached .500 and the eighth seed...
Coming Tomorrow on The Rivalry!* * Alex Ovechkin's return is imminent, and what better way to do it than against the Rangers! (See: Kovalchuk; Atlanta; 11/12/09)* * Bryan thinks the Islanders might be "for real" this year...
I recently got a new job.In my previous employment, I would often work at 5:00 at night, waking up sometime around 11 in the morning. Sometimes, I would go to bed at 2 a.m. then wake up at 11:30, sleeping over 9 hours.I would actually be more tired when I woke up then when I went to sleep...
As Zach explained on Sunday, there are certain jerseys you can wear to the game. At the same time, there are others you wouldn't be caught dead wearing at the Coliseum...
I started compiling this list after I was at the Ranger-Islander game at the Coliseum last Wednesday and saw Nikolai Zherdev and Lauri Korpikoski standing next to each other...
I try not to be one of "those fans" - you know, the type who sulks and glooms and says the team is horrible after a loss, but they're the first one to chant "We Want the Cup" after a convincing win.However, tonight was a good game...
The last two times that the Edmonton Oilers faced the Rangers, the Rangers lost in a shootout. Last time, they fired 42 shots on net and scored on only 2 - on a backup goaltender...
I apologize for not writing more about our beloved Rangers, but between working very long days, going to a wedding yesterday, being hungover today, and running back and forth between the bank and the GMC dealership, I haven't had any free time to watch hockey, much less write about it.Okay, that's...
If I close my eyes, I can picture what so-called "experts" are writing and what they're saying."I'll tell you what - I like this New York Islanders team." "This is a team that will never say die." "These Islanders do not know the meaning of the word 'quit'.""Last year's Islanders team folded in the...
When you're a fan of a losing team, you generally don't watch them expecting to win. Instead, you watch hoping you'll see something amazing...
The Rangers played tonight like they played all of last season - tentative, over-thinking hockey...
Most teams look forward to April and beyond for their most meaningful games. The Islanders, on the other hand, play Game 1 of their annual six-game "playoff" against the Rangers tonight. It's not a stretch to say that these rivalry games can save a season, particularly for a subpar team...
It's been a slow week here at The Rivalry, due to Bryan having a new baby to take care of (poor excuse) and me having work and a marathon 24 session the other night (better excuse).I wanted to write something Saturday night after the Rangers overtime loss to Montreal about how, even though they...
