Aspirin, Tylenol, and Advil: Report to Battle Stations — The Canes are coming!
You know what that means, don’t you? (Sure you do.)
It means that despite The Maven’s promise of a Rangers’ Stanley Cup in June, some solid citizens of Rangerville are getting Second Round migraines.
Furthermore, I know one of them very well. Only too well because Alan Greenberg traces his Ranger fandom back to The Original Six.
I mean, this ex-Brooklynite knows how to worry or, as he puts it. But wait, I’ll let my favorite transplanted Floridian tell you in his own words.
“As a Rangers fan,” says Greenberg, “I’m definitely concerned about the Hurricanes.”
See what I mean? Big Al is halfway to being a basket case, but I’ll let him explain.
“Carolina is highly talented, well-balanced, well-coached, and a potentially explosive team. Plus, our Rangers finished only three points ahead of them.”
Big Al and I agree that Carolina has a first-rate goalie, but Greenberg fails to mention that he’s injury-prone. Then he reeled off forwards like Seth Jarvis, Jake Guentzel, and Sibby Aho, who are supposed to make me cringe.
