GAME ON!!!!!
After WAY TOO LONG, the National Hockey League returned tonight. All 30 teams were in action, for a full slate of 15 games. And my team, the New York Rangers, were featured on the very first national telecast on the NHL's new home network, OLN.
I just finished watching the game, and the mostly unrecognizable squad of kids wearing the Rangers sweaters played their hearts out and pounded the crap out of the hated Philadelphia Flyers, 5-3. It was such a beautiful sight, I almost shed a tear. After so many years of high-priced, free-agent veteran underachievers, I must say I really like the direction the team has taken. I don't expect them to play this well every night (or even make the playoffs), but at least they seem to have a plan for the first time since '94.
God, I missed you, hockey. Please don't go away again.
P.S.- On top of the glorious return of the NHL, the Yankees are beating the Angels 1-0 in Game 2 of the opening round of the playoffs. Happy Birthday to me.

I really like the new game, with the expanded attack zones. A few too many penalties though. Too bad the Rangers couldn't have gotten to the shoot-out last night.
