Would someone check the MSG Lost and Found to see where the Rangers left their game tonight because it certainly wasn’t on the ice?

In addition to all the Ranger veterans, all the newbies, Dawes, Drury, Dubinsky, Gomez and Staal need to learn something right quick – The Rangers and their fans hate the Icelanders. You are supposed to annihilate the Icelanders. You are supposed to pound the Fish into paste. You are supposed kick the crap out of them and send them packing with a regulation loss.

The Rangers certainly were pwnd! They didn’t skate, check or hit. Saying they were outcoached is problematic. The only guys out there that were dumpning and chasing the puck were the 3rd and 4th lines. Was it a case again of “Vets Know Best”? Because if dump and chase was the game plan, the premium crackers certainly didn’t execute.

There is just no excuse for the lacksidaisical and shoddy play against their most hated opponent in their own building. Whatever good will the Rangers have built between themselves and their fans was put in serious jeopardy tonight. The only joy in the 2003-2004 season was that the Rangers swept all six games from the Fish with Icelander Killers Barnaby and Dunham. Jesus Christ boys, you sure the hell know how not to pick your spots. Losing tonight after winning on the Road is a huge letdown.

The saddest thing of all is that the Rangers handed Dipietro his 100th win on a silver platter. Next time, if they are smart, they should try to hand him his head on one. If Wade Belak can call for the Leafs to kill Avery, DeePee’s head on a platter is the least the Rangers can do to win back the hearts of their fans. I don’t care if the Rangers have to take a four minute minor next Thursday, one of Rangers needs to go out there and clock that punk “DeePee” and put his lights out. The ‘79 Rangers should have done that to his predecessor Billy “the Lumberjack” Smith.

Next Thursday, The Islanders may come to the Garden in a bus but the Rangers better check them so hard they need to leave in an ambulance.

As if the enduring this game wasn’t enough, I lost one of my earrings during the game. They were brand new. First time I wore them. After the game was over, I searched around and found it just as they were calling out Deepee as first star . At least I was able to salvage something out of this night.
