Tuesday’s game is the classic “best player in the league vs they must be good because they play in New York!” television match up. That’s how it was scheduled, I imagine. As it turns out, the best player in the league has been nicked up and hasn’t played the last few weeks, and the Rangers… well, they play in New York! A case could be made that they are the third best team in the New York area at this point, as the Devils are among the class of the NHL and they have as many points as the Islanders, and the Islanders are 6-2-2 in their past 10 games. But it’s the Rangers! The only thing that keeps the Rangers from being the most annoying team in the league for their off ice coverage is the Toronto Maple Leafs.
DRINK
… every time a picture of the tree at Rockefeller Square is shown. Because November 17th means Christmas!
… if anyone giggles uncontrollably when the name “Semin” is said.
… if Michael Nylander is caught swearing on camera. Drink thrice if his infamous interview with Pierre McGuire is replayed. Finish the drink if it is uncensored.
… because Sports Soup is next !
Drinking player of the week: Matt Gilroy
– Matt won the Hobey Baker award last year. That’s Matt holding the Hobey Baker award. The picture was undated, but I am guessing it was taken last year.
– Mr. Gilroy is a rookie this year, having just graduated from Boston University. He is 25. Wait. 25? Of COURSE he won the Hobey Baker award. He was 5 years older than the competition.
– Gilroy went undrafted, unlike they clearly more talented Aaron Voros (8th round).
