The last two Rangers games have been 6-2 and 6-5. That’s more goals in one game than an entire series usually.

I haven’t been watching other than looking in once in a while, but gleaned from Twitter that the officiating was very tight.

yes considering most of their previous games were one goal wins, that is odd.

They get here early and I hate to see their ugly posts first thing in the morning, so I rarely view the Latest Comments page! On a personal level, it's been enlightening ... I've been surprised by some of the posters, never imagining they were such haters. Maybe shocked is a more appropriate word.

LOL! You have it right! They're Pharisees!!!

OK, then.

Reminds me of this one night at the station. I had used the word ludicrous. Nice word. This guy looks at me and said what does that mean? I told him and he said why didn’t you just say so. He walked away and the two of us left just stared at each other and laughed. Why I recall that, I do not know.

Yes, everyone wants an insane owner and a team that wins a playoff game every decade or so. ;-)

There are several unrelenting groups on here - the anti-Catholics, the Catholic is the ONLY religion, the all government is evil, and the newest one: the Police are all bullies and jack booted thugs. All of those groups are disgusting

Since the Catholic church is so large (and all under one umbrella) it is easy for haters to attack you all - whereas Protestants have so many different views/procedures the haters in those groups attack the smaller factions within. It is astounding to me since we all worship the same God - yet there will always be those who think they are the only way.

Some of my favorite shows are like 48 hours and 20/20 where they give the details on murders and end (usually) with the trial..... it is truly unreal how often murder is committed by a spouse. No wonder they are the first suspect
