There is no question when it comes to scoring that the Alfredsson, Spezza, and Heatley line dominate almost all the time.   Sometimes considered unfair, they play a game so impressive, other teams try to do just about everything to stop them.  Anaheim found a line to shake Murray enough to split the ASH line, […]

Well as of last night the Rangers were 21 games into the season. One quarter of the way so to speak. So I figured it was time to take a closer look at the team. While they may be sitting in 1st place at the moment they sure didn’t start off that way. Struggling to […]

The host knows he is in hot water with this many egos in the room…but here goes. First Word Introduce yourselves please and elaborate a little…and i do mean a little.Pogo, real name mike I’m the Hitman. Perhaps you’ve heard of my new movie? I am the enigma known as THE RICK, I keep my […]

Let’s churn up the rumor mill on a story heard discussed on a local radio show. It seems the long departed Jaromir Jagr was asked if he ever would consider playing for the Pittsburgh Penguins again. The answer may shock you. Jagr supposedly replied that he has still maintained a house in a Pittsburgh suburb […]

    So congrats are in order to Rick DiPietro….as he gained his 100th win tonight against the New York Rangers (2-1).  Yes he made only 18 saves….but one thing will stand out more than the Isles 11th win of the season and that is Rick Dipietro’s punch that connected on Sean Avery. With a […]

One, 2, 4, 5, 7, 9, 10, 12, 16, 18, 19, and 29. Those numbers are very familiar to any Montreal Canadiens fan. They all hang from the rafters at the Bell Centre where they play their home games. The Canadiens have a long and wonderful past to look back on. The names of great […]

So we’re almost at the quarterpole of the hockey season which means about a third of the fantasy hockey regular season is done and over with. The question comes up…you are in the middle of the pack and not sure what to do. Do you go big and try to make that big splashy trade […]

Thank your Mr. Rolf Hicker…. Twas a nice shiny waterfall…..and only a few short days till Thanksgiving (my Christmas well because of the glorious amount of turkey). Turkey and hockey go perfect together…nothing like stuffing yourself silly and then laying on the couch watching the puck drop….ahhh priceless! Time to get back a bit into […]

The Phoenix Coyotes are a hardworking team. They are not going to necessarily dazzle you with offensive talent. This is a team that will not win flashy. An example of this was in full display yesterday afternoon as the Phoenix Coyotes welcomed the Ilya Bryzgalov era with a 1-0 win over the Los Angeles Kings […]

Ooooh yeah!!!! Quite simply this picture says it all……. Simply PRICELESS!!!! Win 500 came in the place where win 48 of last season took place…right at the Wachovia Center. So to say Brodeur likes Philly may just be an understatement. He is after all 12-1-1 in his last 14 meetings with Philadelphia. That is some […]

I feel like Daniel Alfredsson deserves a nod or two for his efforts last night in Ottawa’s 3-2 victory over the Buffalo Sabres. After scoring his first goal of the night to put Ottawa up 1-0, they announced that he was playing in his 800th game, and he was given an extended ovation, with the […]

Dancing with the Devil? Or should I ask, are Rangers fans ready to sell their souls to the Devil for a chance at another Stanley Cup? The Devil I speak of is none other than Sean Avery. I realize this topic is getting worn out so I am putting this one up and then I’m […]

One of the first videos I have seen from the Induction weekend to hit YouTube…features Scott Stevens getting his HOF jacket. Forgive the choppy video and audio interludes…but it is rather funny yet very cool. Great to see a hockey player with class get the recognition he truly deserves. More videos will be coming soon […]

Hello, and welcome to Blue’s Mindless Ramblings. I’m new at this blogging stuff so hopefully you guys will be kind. I’ve been thinking on what to talk about in my first ever Ranger blog and finally decided to pick one Forward and one Defenseman to focus on. Now I know you all think I’m going […]

Jason Spezza has now missed six games in the NHL this season. Ottawa, while noting his absence, have been able to win five of their six games without him. The long running question anyone viewing Spezza’s five million dollar pricetag, is how. How is it possible for this team to barely shrug in light of […]
