Rangers Come From Behind!

 

Congratulations to all my fellow Rangers fans out there. 

Last night, as many of you know, the Broadway Blueshirts became the first NHL—ever—to come back from a 3-1 deficit despite trailing in all three of the comeback games.  

This is such a tremendous victory that our city's oldest professional ice hockey team is even making a run at St. Peter's basketball, in the total back covers standings.

Pretty cool—and, I have to admit, much better than I thought they'd do. After their initial, heartbreaking loss in triple overtime, at home, I figured that this Rangers season would end—like so many others—not with a bang but a whimper.

I was wrong. 

And now, in our juju-haunted world, the question arises: Does the rise of the Rangers have some greater meaning?

Could this be a sign of the End of Days?? (You know, besides all that incidental, worldwide plague, constant mass shootings, war in Ukraine, deteriorating climate, democracy in peril, bees no longer producing honey stuff.)

Or...could it be an omen for your New York Yankees, presaging some greater destiny come this October???

I dunno.

But being a Rangers Skeptic, and based on the whole, long history of MSG's cavalcade on ice, I expect that this gutsy, heart-stopping victory will be followed by...losing in four to the team formerly known as at the Boston Whalers.  

And being a Yankees Skeptic, I suspect that our own Pinstripers' season will also likely end sooner than greater.  But hey, we can always dream!
