New York Ranger Crisis SHOW # 171

The Mouth is a real avid movie buff, besides being a insanely rabid fan of the Blueshirts.

Recently he found himself musing that the current Ranger situation is somewhat like the 1945 film "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn"

A Tree grows in Brooklyn is about a idealistic young girl named Francie who has a luckless father who also is an alcoholic.

Despite all the dysfunction around her she still remains extremely optimistic and even finds comedy despite all the hardships that befall her and her family.

The worst of which is when their favorite tree is taken down located right outside their window. Francie plants seeds in hopes of growing a new tree, and with all the odds against another tree growing in Brooklyn, one does !

The Ranger fan has remained steadfast and loyal through a decade of Glen Sather's buffoonery and finally in 2011 it looks like the Rangers might be turning the corner to success with their massive infusion of youth.

I think "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn" is a perfect parable on how we Ranger fans have felt for years and finally now with the arrival of all the young players featured in the video maybe the seeds have been planted.

Perhaps we will get a chance to see our tree grow on 33rd street in Manhattan.

Good Movie check it out

[GOODPLAYA20]

No doubt theres reason to be optimistic at MSG. Especially now that we got guys who are still coming in like Chris Kreider and Carl Hagelin. Im just afraid Sathers gonna go overboard with the youth and start trading guys away the day they turn 30. Hopefully thats not the case.

@GOODPLAYA20 Good Your words to the hockey gods ears ! Hagelin and Kreider look great and although i"m resisting the Christian Thomas hopefulness you cant argue with his outstanding Junior production

[RideTheLightning101]

Don't forget Ryan Bourque he was great in World Juniors, hes a great passer him and kreider can be dangerus together.
