Yet again another season cut short by the Washington Capitals. We don't know when they'll learn that a powerful offense outweighs a defensive system. Probably never.
BRAD RICHARDS!
Sorry, it's like blogging Tourettes.
But we are extremely excited about the B-Rich coming back to the East coast. And also his joining back with Mr. Tortorella in the Big Apple. We also know that our very own Henrik is crying about the possibility of a Henrik Lundqvist and Brad Richards photoshoot in the future.
Brad Richards!
At least we calmed it down a little when we yell his name. But the jump in our hearts can't be stopped when we think of the marriage of the New York Rangers and Brad Richards.
The Rangers can only hope that Mr. Richards will be able to lead the team to the promised land. At least to the Conference Finals.
Baby Steps.

Three points for Ryan Callahan's whole being. One point for Brad Richards's hair.
One point for Marc Staal & Dan Girardi. Three points for Henrik Lundqvist's face. And the last point doled out for Brandon Dubinsky's goal-scoring prowess.

I have to disagree with your hotness factor. ANY Staal is 6'4" of Hot Thunder Bay Man Meat and deserving of several points! See Esbee's Carolina preview, well she didn't say any Staal but I think it's implied. Lundqvist might be a 6 all by himself. The face, the clothes plus he's a good goalie what more could you want? However you must subtract one for Avery. It would have been 2 but his public stance regarding gay marriage and gays in sports made him much less douchey.
I can't wait to see Torterella on 24/7. Will he drop more F bombs than Boudreau?
As a Flyers fan, I HATE the Rangers as a team. Unfortunately, I like a lot of their players. I'm seeking therapy.
And I agree with @msd, 24/7 is going to be sooo good.
Concur with MSD's hotness adjustment/qualification on this one, although I have always thought Marc was the "weakest link" Staal and looks like Beaker from the Muppet Show most of the time so no points for him unless we're talking science geek hotness.
King Henrik straight up topples the hotness meter. Period. It's ridiculous. Keep winking at that puck and flashing your Colgate smile, Hen.
Avery looks squishy and has the expression of a clownfish so no points for him unless, as msd pointed out, we're talking "off-the-ice and absolutely nothing to do with looks" hotness.
I would deduct accordingly for sending my Michael Del Zotto down (booo!) and for Brandon DubINSIGNIFICANT. Yuck yuck yuck. If he would just shut his trap and play, he'd be hot. Whenever he opens that piehole the mood is killed on contact.
They've got a long way to go before they're anywhere near the heyday of Duguay-Beck-Greschner, but I suppose it's a start.
Brad Richards' hair in no way even approaches Ron Duguay's in his heyday! Although, if you want the gold standard for hair, you have to go Rick MacLeish of the Broad Street Bullies (an oldie but a goodie).
@Michelle - Please don't get me all teary-eyed and nostalgic. Please! I beg of you...
There has been some disturbing "chest hair pining" going on here in recent days, so in honor of those way-wrong hormonal blurtations and also in the way of paying homage to our medallioned, shirt-unbuttoned-all-the-way-down-to-there Rangers of yore, I give you the Sasson classic and Hockey Sock Rock to take us out.
@MouthGuard I stand by my chest hair affection! No gorilla looking dudes or hair sweaters. Just a nice manly look. Yes there are acceptable ranges. But thanks for scarring me for life with those videos!
@msd/MouthGuard I am honored and humbled at the use of my Hot Thunder Bay Man Meat. I do think Marc is the weakest link and I don't really find him that attractive. But he IS a Staal and I would love to have his ass on our blueline. If you ever watch Staal brothers interviews (I mean if you were into that sort of thing *cough*cough*) you will quickly learn that Marc sounds like the one that was always up to something or in trouble. I like the rapscallion.
At the end of the season I may have suggested that Erik should have takeout food sent to his brother's place at random intervals during the night to ensure he did not get a good night's sleep before our matchup.
King Henrik...Dear GOD I think I ovulated just looking at him. I may have once said "Do you think he will play in the nude tonight?!" My male relatives did not seem amused. File under "Questions your brother doesn't want to ponder."
On the serious side, I wanna see who ends up being Captain. I would pick Staal but I think they'll give it to Callahan.
I think the Rangers should get a 15 in hotness. King Hank alone is a 10. +5 for them taking drunken pictures with random Asian dudes. Noodles & Henrik know what I'm typing about.
@Esbee - you're right about Ginger being the trouble maker in the Staal fam. I heard an interview with Eric (NHL Live I think?) & he said Ginger would always talk Jordan into beating up Tito. Then he (Eric) would have to jump in & stick up for poor Tito. He's such a good big bro.

Now I have to go crank up the Patsy Cline, again. Because seeing B-Rich in a Rangers sweater hurts like hell. It really does feel like someone broke up with me. I hope this feeling goes away by the time 24/7 comes around. Le sigh...I fall to pieccceeeessss.
@Esbee - 'I may have once said "Do you think he will play in the nude tonight?!"' WTF???
Wow. Just wow. One of the bravest public admissions EVER in the history of wow. It's like, this is what ALL OF US THINK (male, female, rhesus mecaque monkey (Kesler groupies!), fembot, Biebort) but nobody wants to admit it. Make the public admission, already. BIG TIME PROPS to you.
@Shanny- "+5 for them taking drunken pictures with random Asian dudes. Noodles & Henrik know what I'm typing about." O-kay. DO NOT KNOW about this. NEED TO KNOW about this. So FESS UP. Post photos. Whatever. Plus I love the nod to the Jacksons, who taught the Staals and the Kardashians everything they needed to know about media manipulation and really bad hair. Really bad.
@MouthGuard Not known for being shy. Stick taps in your direction.
Man I'm too late to get in on this but I'll keep it brief.
HANK.
DUGUAY.
AND HANK.
plus I love you gals.
