Don't laugh. Please, please don't laugh and if you promise me now, I'll tell you. The Rangers are hot. (Once more with feeling, Maestro.)
THE RANGERS ARE HOT!
You think I'm kidding; nay, nay and NAY! (For proof positive, check The Maven's Mish-Mash that follows: )
1. LE GRAND GARAND:Not only was Dylan The Delightful the game's star last night for stopping 32 Blue' shots.
2. LE FOXY FOX:The Sly One from Jericho is playing no-kidding-around Norris Trophy- type defense. His second goal of the season was what I call "Puck Pungent!
3. LE BAD GUYS:Every foe Blueshirt fans wanted to lose last night – Toronto, Detroit, Philly, Pitt and Washington – went down while the Seventh Avenue Lads climbed back above .500.
4. LE STRAND THEATER:Ollie Bjorkstrand, who scored his sixth goal last night, has energized the new third line along with Will (Don't. Call Me Bill) Cuylle and Eeli (Eeek!) Tolvanen.
5. LE VICTOIRE:Be happy; they won and Failing Philly will be the next MSG victim tomorrow night. (Perhaps we'll be treated to a Matt Rempe rumpus and the obligatory fight.)
