RANGERS WIN EPIC GAME 7 (again)!

Well, the NY Rangers did it again.  With their backs against the wall and the weight of the city on their shoulders, the Blueshirts took the fight to the Washington Capitals early and did just enough to pull out a hard-fought 2-1 victory, winning the series 4-3, much to the delight to NY Rangers fans at MSG and a capacity crowd here at the bar.

Bartender Molly's playoff "stache"! 

I think that's Barry Melrose... 

Or maybe he's visiting from Hockey Falls? 

So now the NHL Conference Finals are set.  The Phoenix Coyotes faces off against L.A. Kings in the Western Conference finals, beginning Sunday May 13, while the NY Rangers face off against the NJ Devils in the Battle of the Hudson, starting this Monday night.  Both series should be great and you know we'll be carrying all of the action!  Look for some great viewing parties this week along with some surprises and guest visits!

Happy Mother's Day and we'll see you back here tomorrow night!

MISSED OPPORTUNITIES

It was a bad night for NY sports teams as three out of the four teams in action lost. The NYY, still trying to adjust to life without #42, blew a save and a win against Tampa Bay.  The NY Knicks played "Dead Man Walking"  against the Miami Heat, seemingly resigned to the fact that they weren't going to win their series and happy with just winning a game.  Then there were the NY Rangers.

All they needed to do was to close out the Washington Capitals and they would punch a ticket to the Eastern Conference Finals against the rival NJ Devils.  Perhaps they were looking ahead to the next series?  They sure played like it as they were as flat as a pancake for pretty much the whole game.  The Caps struck early and kept the pressure on the Rangers throughout the game, and the Blueshirts had no answer for them.  And now, instead of preparing for Game 1 vs New Jersey, they find themselves rolling the dice again in another do-or-die Game 7.

They got lucky with the Game 7 in the last round.  Will Lady Luck be on their side this time around?  Stay tuned this Saturday night (7:30pm), and you'll get your answer.

At least the NY Mets had something to cheer about.  They swept the Phillies- on the road!  Nice job boys!


PUB TRIVIA TONIGHT (8pm)!  Free to play, great prizes up for grabs!  Enjoy a rare special during Pub Trivia: 4 Coronas for $20 (8-11pm)!

RANGERS & DEVILS: SHADES of '94??

If you were watching last night's intense game between the NY Rangers and the Washington Capitals, you probably rode the ultimate roller-coaster ride of emotions, going from the high of highs, to the low of lows.  It's been that kind of series.  And to watch the Rangers pull out victory from what was certain defeat and inch their way closer to the NHL Eastern Conference finals... well you can't help but to wonder if this is indeed a season of destiny.  They keep finding ways to pull out win after win and with the NJ Devils on the verge of eliminating the Philadelphia Flyers, could we have ourselves an Eastern Conference rematch between the Rangers and the Devils?  More importantly, could destiny give us a repeat of 1994?




If we do get a Devils/Rangers Eastern Conference final, I'm not certain if the result would be the same as it was in 1994, but I can say with certainty that both sides of the Hudson River will be ROCKIN'! And that would be great to see!

But first things first: The NJ Devils have to nail down one more game tonight vs Philadelphia, IN Philly, and you know for a fact that the Flyers and their fans will not go quietly.  Should be an intense game!   Of course, we'll have the game on most of our 12 HDTV's so make sure to join us!

PLEASE NOTE: Due to the Rangers & Knicks playing on Wednesday, PUB TRIVIA has been rescheduled to Thursday night (8pm).


TONIGHT: "Craft Brew Tuesdays" (5pm-close).  Enjoy $3 pints of great micro brews from Long Trail, Magic Hat, Lagunitas, and Brooklyn, just to name a few!  Also enjoy $4 Molson Canadian, Coors Light and Labatt Blue during the Devils/Flyers game!


Cheers!
