The Knicks have been mercifully eliminated from the N.B.A. playoffs. The Yankees have not yet reached the trading-minor-leaguers-for-Joey-Votto deadline. Football is months away, and Tim Tebow is working out with the Jets’ punting unit.

It is time, in other words, for casual fans to jump on the Rangers’ bandwagon.

this is awesome and i know just the guy at work to give this too

"The $297,297 Kovalchuk missed today is money he will never, ever get back. And the more cheques he misses, the better the deal is going to have to be for the players to justify him sitting out. And unlike the owners, the players can direct their leadership to get a deal done regardless of how disadvantageous it is to them."

Funniest hockey article in a long time, thanks for posting.

My only quibble was with this line:

"These new rules make the game safer, but of course, hockey remains the only sport in which a full-on fistfight is an accepted part of the game."

Clearly he has never even heard of the sport lacrosse.

Both of the professional sports born in Canada allow bare knuckle boxing, unlike any other professional sport in the world (if you don't count Irish Traveler fights like in this delightful documentary http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1606259/ )
