Let's Go Rangers!

Caught a Rangers game in Madison Square Garden last Saturday. I love watching hockey games. They're so graceful yet so violent, kind of like going to a fight. haha.

The Rangers weren't playing that well against the Penguins. They were down 0-2 halfway into the 3rd period. The Rangers' coach Brendan Shanahan was hospitalized the previous night from an on ice collision, and I think that the Rangers just didn't have the will to play hard. But Rangers fans are so die hard supportive that none of them left even when there was only minutes left of the game and there was no hope in sight for victory. Honestly, that's the real reason to attend a game in the Garden, the energy of the fans is incredible.

The cheers eventually kindled a fire in the Rangers, 'cause in the final moments of the game they started really taking it to the Penguins. The Rangers took around 25 shots within a few minutes, while denying their opponent any offensive opportunities. The Rangers finally scored their 1st point with only minutes left in the game. The crowd went ba-na-nas. The Rangers then pulled their goalie off, to get another offensive player on the ice. They went all out, attempting shot after shot after shot. Finally, they tied the game with only 8 seconds left. hahahaha. 8 seconds... 8 seconds? WTF. Everyone was on their feet screaming their heads off. Random strangers were hugging and high-fiving me. People started making out and getting naked. It was crazy in there, like an earthquake. The last goal broke the Penguin's spirit, and the Rangers pulled in an easy W in overtime. Best. Comeback. Ever.
