IAmADarkRanger.com ran a poll a while ago to ask you, the reader, who would be the first to have the "He Said/Did WHAT!?!" moment of the season. You guys called it and some of you were probably even begging for it. lol The winner by a country mile is your favorite agitator and mine, SEAN AVERY. During the Ranger/Nuck melee, The Grate One had a few choice words for nucks S.O'Brien and more specifically Darcy Hordichuk. Fortunately, the mic of Ray Ferraro (who was trapped in his little box in between benches and providing commentary for the west coast viewers) was left on and if you listen real close, its audible if only for a few seconds. Now there seemed to be a bit of discrepency over the noun used to describe the esteemed Mr. Hordichuck, so I'll pass along both and allow you to listen and decide for yourself. Credit goes out to the author of this vid and those who took the time, the headphones and maybe some extreme volume levels to transcribe the following barbs...
"Shut the F*ck up, you f*ckin bum!" "You're a F*ckin Bum/Plug, Horidchuk! "You won't get another shift..."
I believe there was another "You're a bum/plug" and another STFU thrown in there somehwere for effect and good measure.
The fun starts at 2:30 into the clip. Crank the volume, Listen closely, Wait for your laughter to stop... Rinse and Repeat.(*Appts for confession optional).. Enjoy!
While all teams can't call worlds most famous Arena home, plenty have experimented with their own gimmicks to try to bring in more fans, when their hockey team alone just couldn't do it. Here we see an early design for Newark's Prudential Center that was recently uncovered and took a slightly different approach to a installing dome so that devils fans(both of them) could enjoy their hockey and still enjoy the atmosphere Newark has to offer. The New Jersey Devils Organization insists that any side effects that benefit their style of hockey would be purely coincidental.

The above gem comes from TDR's friend and fellow NYR blogger, THE RANGER PUNDIT. They continue to deliver smack-on coverage of our Blueshirts and their photoshops are quite funny. Bookmark them and support their site.
Taking in consideration the Coyotes situation... If the Rangers were up for sale, I'd hope for:
Why The Site?
'I Am A Dark Ranger' is a place to celebrate our proud and beloved New York Rangers visually -- funny pictures and captions, original photoshops or anything you (THE READERS) would like to post to the site. As management keeps us coming back to The Garden season after season through propaganda using nostalgic 1994 videos of Messier, Leetch, Graves, let this site serve as an alternate home to remind us of Wade Redden contracts, the Donald Brashear signing and Gaborik's groin problems. Enjoy it for what it is.
Send us anything you'd like and we'll probably post it on the site. srel1229@gmail.com
