A post that nobody will care about

The NHL still exists. Shocking I know. Even more shocking is that (some) people still care about it!
I am one of those people, and to the surprise of absolutely no one, I am a Rangers fan. Today, this is not a good thing. I will allow ESPN's headline to say it all...

Habs rally from five down, top Rangers in SO to cap biggest rally in team history


God. dammit.

The Rangers were supposed to be good this year! They spent a small fortune to obtain two of the top available free agents this offseason in Chris Drury and Scott Gomez. They already had two surefire hall of famers in Brendan Shanahan and Jaromir Jagr. They also have Sean Avery, who likes to fight people and dated this lovely young lady...

Point is, the Rangers were supposed to be good. Sure they had defensive liabilities, but come on. Thankfully they are still in line for a playoff spot, but I fear this could be one of those demoralizing, franchise crippling losses. Remember a few years back when the Nets blew a 21 point lead to the Celtics in the fourth quarter? Sure, they were still good for another five years, but now they suck. And I blame that loss! stuff like that lays dormant in your psyche for a while, but it will come back and get you eventually.

Alright maybe not, but it was still an embarrassing loss.

And now back to sports people care about...
