Brad Penner-Imagn ImagesRangers Fans are getting restless and angry. You could see it as The Garden on Thursday night.
Not just restless and angry but engaged in what could be interpreted as a fan revolt. They showed it by not showing up – in droves.
Jessica Cassino of the great state of Staten Island was there for what amounted to a symbolic boycott of the once-beloved Blueshirts.
"The Garden was so empty," Jess tells me, "that it was comical. I thought the 'FIRE DRURY!' chants were absolute perfection."
Or as newcomer to the Maven's Roundtable Rich Isaak puts it. "There were thousands of fans posing as empty seats."
As wisecracks go, that was pretty funny – except that MSG ownership may find that the Rangers meaningless run to the finish line is so irrelevant that the arena will be more bare than it has been in decades.
If that happens, James Dolan just makes up for reality; that he has the worst possible high command to fill The Garden for Blueshirt games next season.
Then what?
