SAY IT AINT' SO

After dropping the first 2 games of the series in the "heated" Mellon Arena, the Rangers head home to try and get even with the Pens. There are 2 ways of looking at this. One way is they gotta win 4 out of 5 to win this series. But as the veterans on this team would say "we just gotta win one game at a time".

SO WIN ONE ALREADY!!!

u know it...RANGERS IN 7!!

WHAT TO EXPECT

VS

The Rangers head to Pittsburgh tonight to face a Penguin team that has a good forecheck and can score in a flash. This team is much better then the Devils team that the Rangers beat, and you can expect a much more physical and longer series. These 2 teams met up 8 heated times in the regular season and the same is expected with the games to follow.

Schedule and Predictions
Friday April 25th @ PITT 7pm W
Sunday April 27th @PITT 2pm L
Tuesday April 29th @MSG 7pm L
Thursday May 1st @MSG 7pm W
Sunday May 4th @PITT 2pm W
Monday May 5th @MSG 7pm W
Wednesday May 7th @PITT TBD*
Rangers in 6

My series MVP is Henrik Lundqvist!

IT100 ASSIGNMENT

Indonesia has blocked Youtube because of having an open global network in a limited type government. Also the Olympic committee has asked for an unrestricted internet access for visitors to the games. According to the course rules internet access must be available for all at the games. An 18 yr old spybotter was caught stealing money from people by hacking at their computers to get credit card information and other stuff like stocks. Myspace vs Itunes. They have created free video and music streaming live with advertising. "MySpace Music". 1/10 of all broadcasts are done online.

Personally my belief is that the limited restriction for the olympic games should be overruled, as much as in understand the government and their right to restrict it, the olympics already has enough controversy around it and does not need this. As for Myspace Music, i think its a great idea and i think that since Myspace already had a great following that this will be a big hit, especially here in the US.

RANGERS TAKE 3-1 SERIES LEAD: SERIES OVER?

With a 5 to 3 win on Wednesday night the Rangers have a commanding 3 games to 1 lead over the Devils. Does this mean series over?

I do believe it does...every game so far in this series has been close..now does that i mean i believe that the Rangers will put this one away in NJ on Friday night..no..im not definite on that..but i do believe that they will not lose the next three games to this New Jersey team..

This was the first win by a home team in this series..although one could argue that the Rangers have had the home field advantage in all 4 games in this series...

cya Friday night!

and as always

GO BLUESHIRTS!!!

THE SEAN AVERY RULE

During Sunday's game vs the Devils, on a 5 on 3, Sean Avery decided to have some fun with Devils goaltender Martin Broduer. Instead of trying to create a play and move the puck, he decided to face Broduer and try and distract him from the play. He waved his hands in his face, even his stick at times, Broduer retaliated with a few shoves but the Rangers did not score.

After the game many people were calling the play bush league, others just called it Avery being himself. The following day, the NHL made a rule that this would not be allowed and that if anyone would do it, it would result in a 2 min penalty.



Personally i found this to be hilarious, THE SEAN AVERY RULE, as much as the NHL hates him, his antics, "diving", etc.. He still manages to get into the NHL rule book!! I also feel that it was great that the NHL acted quickly and got rid of this type of play, as it would have led to copy cats and would have ruined the game.

Henrik Ludqvist said after practice that alot of guys were doing it to him in practice and that it was pretty annoying. He was glad that the NHL got rid of it.

So tonights Game 4, this rivalry and series is heating up, and i think tonight is when it is gonna explode! I'm looking for alot of fights and major penalties..especially when Devils players yell at Avery about this, and he retaliates..

LETS GO RANGERS!!

IT100 LIVE SEARCH

i did the broadway one in the live search challenge and i found it in exactly one minutes time..it took a few searches but i found it..pretty interesting..and now i know a better way of searching for things online..

NOW ITS A SERIES

Going into Game 3 the Rangers seemed to have the Devils number in every category and looked to take a commanding 3-0 lead. But New Jersey came out firing and took a 1-0 lead, the game went back and forth and was tied at 3 and headed in to OT. In OT the puck from in the corner was thrown infront of the net by John Madden hit of Marc Stall's skate and into the net. Giving the Devils the 4-3 victory.

THERES YOUR BREAK DEVILS FANS!!

The series continues Wed. night at the Garden for Game 4.

ENJOY!!

CRYING DEVILS FANS

After stealing Game 1 from the Devils, the Rangers looked to take a commanding 2-0 lead in this best of 7 series. And they did.

After 2 scoreless periods, the Rangers took the lead on a goal by captain Jaromir Jagr. He came from behind the net spun around and fired a shot on net, Broduer who was hit by his own man,Colin White was out of position. The second goal was scored 23 seconds later by Sean Avery off of a rebound, top shelf over Broduer. The Devils made a last effort scoring with just over a minute left on a deflection by John Madden, but it was not to be, as the Rangers won 2-1.

As, I drove home, I turned on the Devils Radio, (which was on Bible Radio lol, they cant find a sports station to cover them). The recurring theme was that the Devils got no breaks and how the refs had blown many calls. First, is it just me or were they getting all those calls when they won their cups. Its called making your own brakes! It seemed like every other word out of their mouths for a 40 min post game show was the devils got no brakes. They lost a goal review, which the puck never went in, Langenbrunner didn't hook the guy that hard..etc...

If you wanna hear some whining or see bad breaks...the Devils have only scored 2 goals in this series. One was when they were on the power play and Marty Straka's stick broke, had he had his stick, he was right there to block away the pass that led to the goal. On the second goal, on the faceoff Chris Drury was basically flipped over on his head, that lead to the shot off the faceoff and the deflection in.

Overall, the Rangers have dominated this series, they are showing who is the better team, which they showed in the regular season. The Devils have not had a lead at any point in this series. And their stadium has been taken over with Blueshirts!! Also that theme "Rock the Red"..is hilarious. In game 1 the devils hit like 5 posts. What color are the posts red...so keep rockin the red devils!!

IT100 CHALLENGES

In this challenge, it was difficult the first few times to get the correct words. My first try i got a 43%, 2ns try i got a 48%, 3rd try 76%, and 4th try 86%. It is a different way of thinking and with all the ways English can be described i hope that this doesn't become another one of their ways.

IT100 ASSIGNMENT

This topic is one that everyone should be aware of. and that is Tech online safety. It is no joke that there are urls that are infected and that people can easily see but have to open their eyes and see that they do contain viruses etc...

After playing the Phishing Phil game..i see that it is much harder then it looks to see what a bad url looks like. I had to ask for help many times and still i had trouble with it. After mush practice i am sure that i can be better at this game...

CLOSE...BUT NO HOME ICE

After sealing at least the 5th spot with the Bruins loss to Buffalo...the Rangers looked to get home ice with a win and season sweep over the Devils.

The Rangers were down 2-0 after 1 period...but fought back and tied the game at 2 with 8 minutes left. Tom Renney showed the will to win pulling his goalie with under 2 minutes left..but it was not enough..the game eventually went to a shootout..where the devils won in the 4th round...

The playoff schedule goes as follows:

Wednesday April 9th in NJ @ 7pm
Friday April 11th in NJ @ 7pm
Sunday April 13th in NY 7pm
Wednesday April 16th in NY @ 7pm
*Friday April 18th in NJ @7:30pm
*Sunday April 20th in NY TBD

IT ALL COMES DOWN TO THIS

With only one game left to go in the season...and so much still left to decide...

Heres the situations:
If the rangers win in regulation..they hold the 4 seed and have home field advantage vs the 5 seed devils...
If the rangers get one point or lose and Boston loses they are the 5 seed and play the 4 seed devils
If the rangers lose in regulation and get no points and the bruins win they are the 6th seed...their opponent..is either the capitals or hurricanes..if the capitals win on sat night they play the capitals..if Washington loses they play the hurricanes..

UPDATE:

The Bruins lost to the Sabres so the Rangers at worst will end up in 5th place...
Situations:
If the rangers win in regulation they get home court advantage and 4th place...all other endings...they end up in 5th place vs the 4th seeded devils...

THERE U HAVE IT!

now enjoy and cya in the playoffs!!!
