Well, I'm feeling pretty good. The New York Rangers have battled their way back and have tied the Eastern Conference semifinals against the best team in hockey, the Buffalo Sabres, at 2-2. Plenty of people (Sabres fans and the media) have complained about the goal that wasn't ruled a goal that the Sabres scored with 13 seconds left in game 4 that would have tied the score. Well, there have been at least six calls like that which have gone the Sabres way in the playoffs. One was bound to go against them.
Bottom line: these have been great games. After a terrible showing in game 1, the Rangers realized they could not win an with all-out attack style agsint the speedy, deep Buffalo team. So they adjusted their strategy and roster to improve their defense and it has paid dividends. The last three games have been close and Game 5 on Friday should be too. Now the Rangers need to beat Buffalo in their building.
And it amazes me how many people in this country refuse to watch hockey. And I'm especially targeting Chicago with that statement. How any human being with a functioning brain can consider playoff basketball more exciting than playoff hockey, I will never know.
