Petty Metaphors


From Arthur Staple, Rangers beat reporter for Newsday:

Vince Lombardi's name graced the board outside the Rangers' dressing room, with an excerpt from the late football coach's winning philosophy. It's a little late for pep talks, though, so perhaps Tom Petty was more appropriate yesterday.

The waiting is the hardest part.

And for those, who wind up on the roster of a playoff-bound squad, even the losers get lucky sometimes.

All I know is, for once I didn't want them to make the playoffs.

For once, Dolan will be held to his word. Ticket prices were kept the same for this season, and ticket prices are supposed to go down for next season if they don't make the playoffs.

Just because you have the money doesn't mean you will win by buying all the players - hockey doesn't work that way. It's a proven fact. Otherwise, Colorado, the NYR, and Detroit would have won a lot more Cups in the last ten years than they did.
