Rangers Off-Season Comes Earlier Then Expected For Fans

Well New York Ranger fans the off-season is here earlier then we expected this year. We should thank all the boys in blue for making this a memorable and magical season. Come from behind wins, shut outs, shoot out wins, blow outs, battling back with our backs against the wall, 7 game win streaks twice. A Winter Classic win and can we forget, 6-0 against the Flyers this year! This was a very memorable season not to forget for the Rangers!

But the way coach Tortorella’s system is built with grinding and blocking shots, it takes a toll out on the Rangers and playing in back to back 7 game series, tired them out and the Devils took advantage of it, so kudos to them. But playing in a system like this for over 100 games back fired on the Rangers.

Now heading into the off-season we have a few question marks that need to be answered. What to do with Mats Zuccarello? He is stated to be a RFA for us, and he has no idea who he plans to play for yet, based on a tweet this morning. Fedotenko, Prust and Mitchell all slated to be UFA come July 1st.

Rangers and Devils Face-Off In Crucial Game 6 Tonight

Rangers and Devils play a pivotal game 6 tonight in NJ. Devils have the chance to knock out the number 1 seeded New York Rangers after taking a 3-2 series lead with a 5-3 victory at MSG on Wednesday night. The Devils have been in control of this series through all 5 games, even though they have been shut out 3-0 twice. The Devils depth of lines 1-4 have really out played the Rangers, specifically the Devils 3rd and 4th lines. They have given them trouble all series long, the 4th line of the Devils have really shut down the Rangers top line, which is this biggest scoring threat on the team.

But the Rangers do have something in their favor tonight that is in Martin Brodeurs head, today is the 18th anniversary of the 94 series game 6 when “The Captain” Mark Messier came out and guaranteed his team will win tonight in NJ and bring it home for game 6. And they did, Messier scored a hat trick and brought hope back to NY for a game 7 where the Rangers went on to win in double overtime with a goal from Stephan Matteau. If it reaches a game 7, that game will also be played on the same day the Rangers won game 7 in NY back in 1994. Things are in the Rangers corner, but can Henrik Lundqvist rebound from his bad performance in game 5? A lot will rely on him in keeping his team in the game. Read the rest of this entry »

Unwritten Rules in the NBA

If you know anything about the game of baseball, then you should know about the “unwritten rules” of the game. Many players also know this as the ‘Code’. Some of these unwritten rules consist not swinging at the first pitch after back to back home runs, not working the count when your team is up or down by a lot, and pitchers should stay in the dugout until the inning is over in which they got pulled in. If you go against these unwritten rules, there will most likely be retaliation.

In game 5 of the Miami Heat and Indiana Pacers series in the Eastern Conference Semifinals, we saw Udonis Haslem and Dexter Pittman follow the “unwritten rules” of the game. It all started when Pacers forward Tyler Hansbrough fouled superstar Dwayne Wade, nailing him on the head, and leaving him bloody over his right eye.  Hansbrough received a flagrant 1 for the hard foul.  It was only minutes later that Udonis Haslem fouled Hansbrough hard, coming down with both arms on the Tar Heel alum. Haslem also received a flagrant 1, and was later suspended for game 6. Read the rest of this entry »

Heat-Pacers: Get your boxing gloves ready

If the Miami Heat want to get a win tonight in Game Six (8 p.m., TNT) and end the Indiana Pacers season, they will have to do so without the services of Udonis Haslem. Haslem received a one-game suspension for his aggressive foul on Tyler Hansbrough in Game Five of a series that has seen tempers flare on more than one occasion.

While Haslem’s suspension can be debated, another league-issued penalty is not up for discussion. Miami’s Dexter Pittman received a three-game ban for the vicious elbow he laid on Lance Stephenson in the closing minutes of Game Five and few people are coming to Pittman’s defense – the elbow was violent and has no place in professional basketball. The real question: Can both teams eliminate the borderline dirty play? Or are we in for another Royal Rumble of sorts ? Read the rest of this entry »

It’s been said that money can’t buy happiness and well apparently it can’t buy wins either.

We all saw this coming right? We all figured that on May 23rd that Baltimore would be leading the AL East. That Cleveland would be leading the AL Central and that ‘Natitdue’ would have the Washington Nationals in first place in the NL East, right? If that doesn’t surprise you enough who’s at the top of these divisions, how about the teams at the bottom? It’s only been to months of the season, I understand that, but what ball clubs are in trouble and why are they there.

Foods for Better Sex

The first step to take in looking for better sex is eating healthy.  Change your diet, boost your stamina, please your partner.  Some foods can boost testosterone, leading benefits for your manhood.  Here is a list of foods to go nuts on to go nuts on.

1. Oysters:

We have heard it a million times… “Oysters make you horny.”  Well they are high in zinc, great for sperm, and allow for better circulation.  All things to go along with that excited feeling you get.

2. Nuts

Nuts are filled with amino acids that, like oysters, also help for blood circulation through ALL of your body.  Healthy fats, such as the ones that nuts obtain, allow for a higher testosterone level and a better overall libido.  Best choice of nuts: ALMONDS

3. Avocados

If you don’t eat avocados, you should start right now.  They are great for your arteries, blood flow, and overall heart health.  Keeping your heart healthy and the blood flowing keeps EVERYTHING working the way it should.

4. Strawberries

The color red is just sexy isn’t it?  My girlfriend wears it all the time and I don’t think I could flatter her anymore with the compliments, when she does.  Aside from the look, strawberries are beneficial due to their loads of folic acid and vitamin B and are rumored to help in boosting a man’s sperm count.

5. Oats

Oats are filled with amino acids that allow for looseness in blood vessels, leading to a better blood flow.  When relaxed, blood vessels expand, allowing other things to expand. Read the rest of this entry »

Western Conference Finals: Westbrook is the key

Make that 18 victories in a row with eight more to go. The San Antonio Spurs have been scorching hot as of late, but they aren’t acknowledging their streak. Instead, the team chalked full of veterans is taking one game at a time, refusing to let talks of  “the best Spurs team ever” go to their head.

Despite this attempted avoidance, the discussion will only get louder as San Antonio gets ready to host the Oklahoma City Thunder this Sunday in what promises to be a thrilling Western Conference Final showdown.

In the second round, OKC proved its mettle with an easy series win over the Los Angeles Lakers, a team whose size was supposed to have posed problems for the Thunder. However, the trio of Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook and James Harden proved to be too much for the Lakers not only in Game Five, but the entirety of the series. As John Buccigross pointed out (@Buccigross), OKC’s Big Three played together for 84 minutes in the series against L.A. and during those 84 minutes, the Thunder outscored the Lakers by 47 points – proof that OKC has the best Big Three still left in the postseason picture.
