New York Ranger Crisis SHOW # 76

Old Islander ill will dies hard admittedly for the Mouth., it may be the goofy logo of the Isles jersey, the concrete building they play in with no tradition or personality, all despite it being home to four cup teams since The Big Man has been following the sport..

It could even be the annoying nasally voice of old Islander color man Ed Westfall echoing in the Mouth memory banks that continues to fuel the fire of old hate for a once bitter rival. Its probably a lot of things, stuff most likely that only The Mouth and his therapist know.

Never is the Mouth more torn with his disdain for the Islanders and his love for the Blueshirts when a player who has once suited up initially for the Hempstead club eventually becomes a Ranger. It a tough pill to swallow for sure, especially for any Ranger fans who lived through the 1980s on Long island. The Mouth can count on one hand how many Isle/Rangers he has actually liked after it was all said and done.

This video features a goal highlight from 1997 of one of those players that The Mouth gave his Ranger fan favor to, Pat LaFontaine. This might be because Pat after starting with the Isles played for the Buffalo Sabres for Six seasons before becoming a Ranger.

But most of all it was because Pat LaFontaine produced on the ice and while doing that a showed a passion for hockey that we as Ranger fans only get rare glimpses at. P at had to hang up the skates after one year with the Rangers because of concussion syndrome, The Mouth believes it would have been a pleasure to have seen him continue playing and finish his career as a Broadway Blue

The second part of the video comes from a game that was played against the Florida Panthers on November 18th, 1997. The Mouth believes this is the best Power Play effort and result the Rangers have had in the last fifteen years, so he is providing it to the Ranger Crisis viewer as video evidence that a great Ranger Power Play effort and goal does indeed exist post 1994. The goal comes from an unlikely source in Niklas Sundstrom.

I know, that line is from when he played for a different team (thankfully, NOT the Islanders), but I just HAD to say it.
