Today the Rangers take back to the ice in an attempt to stop the league’s leading rusher, Clinton Portis attempt to take both ends of a home and home against the Florida Panthers. Simultaneously, the 10-1 New York Football Giants will be in the Nation’s capital battling their division rival Washington Redskins. That’s right, my love for Blue extends beyond Broadway to my favorite football team, the beloved Big Blue Wrecking Crew.

What does this all mean? Several things actually. One, a double TV situation at Casa de Biscuit. Two, should both pull off a victory today I will be doing a special dance this afternoon. And three, the Broadway Blueshirts and reigning Super Bowl Champs will be a collective 4-0 when simultaneously squaring off against their foes. On October 5, the G-Men thumped the Seahwaks 44-6 while the Rangers won game 2 of a 4 game series sweep versus the Lightning in Prague. Parlay both if today if you can!

As for this afternoon’s tilt perhaps we will see a tighter game from the Rangers who were a tad sloppy in Florida. They got out to a 2-0 lead and then entered into their own little parade to the penalty box repeatedly shooting themselves in the leg…(pun intended) DAMMIT PLAX…..everything was going so great and you needed self security at the club. Have you ever heard of a bodyguard?! But I digress. The Rangers ultimately took this contest in the shootout improving to 6-1 in the NHL’s new final stanza. Perhaps today will mark the day we will see our first 60 minute effort from the Blueshirts.

TOTAL: is 5 and as Tom Renney would say, I am “Staying the Course.” The Panthers pulled a switcheroo and deployed their backup goaltender on Friday evening, something I do not expect this afternoon.

FEATURED YOUNGSTERS: I overlooked a pair of young Panthers producing who both played well on Friday. Nathan Horton was held out of the game and Olesz played solid potting the first shootout goal on the Ranger royal backstop, but these 2 deserve to be acknowledged. David Booth is a 24 year old forward who already has 12 goals this season, including the equalizer against the NYR on Friday. The other solid youngster was rebuffed on his shootout attempt versus the King, however 20 yeard old Michael Frolik, FROM: Jaromir Jagr’s home town is a highly repected young player. In his hometown he is reffered to as “Baby Jagr.” Frolik was selected 10th overall in the 2006 draft. He only has 2 points this season as he is getting his feet wet, but regardless of his stats he was impressive throughout Friday’s contest, watch for him today.

GO RANGERS AND G-MEN!!!!
