Since misery loves company, there'll be about 18,000 sulkers at Club Misery tonight which – for this occasion – should be labeled Misery Square Garden.
How else can fans of the Beloved Rangers view tonight's finale against Tampa Bay. It's a contest which should have been "The Prelude To The Playoffs.
Instead these bumbling Blueshirts ruined the season for Sam Rosen, You, and the endless loyalists of Rangerville.
Tonight, we'll hear the usual cheery homilies about these loser Rangers could have done this and we should have done that.
"What they should have done in the middle of the Fall – the autumn that killed their season – was fire Peter Laviolette then and there," says The Old Scout, "and the result shows what a mistake not doing it was."
It was GM Chris Drury's move to make; so what did the genius do? Nada. Nothing. He sat on his hands, hoped for the best, and dealt for J.T. Miller.
Big, lalalapaluzuh deal!
For a short time, Miller made his manipulations but in the end thr standing prove that they amounted to the tiniest of small potatoes. Don't be surprised if the Canucks cast-off delivers more of the same tiny next term.
As we all know, tonight's affair is an exhibition game to determine if the Rangers can win two in a row and none of the Bolts get hurt. Or as a Post humorous headline suggested, the Blueshirts are playing for "pride."
Yeah, they're playing for pride like The Maven is playing the roulette table at the Sands in Vegas to buy the next Atlanta expansion team.
Let's get serious; the best summation of Drury's Disaster belongs to the insightful, fearless Blue Collar Blue Shirts' boss Sean McCaffrey, alias The Young Maven.
"It's just another wasted season of many," says McCaffrey. "It feels like something out of The Dark Ages. Perhaps this is the third era of it!"
Amen!
