Today Could Be THE DAY (unless it isn't)

It is April 1st 2012 and in less than an hour the puck drops on Pittsburgh-Philadelphia in a battle for playoff position - and Pennsylvania bragging rights.

And - as the Rangers look down on these two teams who trail us in the standings - one amazing fact emerges:

If the Penguins lose today - in regulation OR overtime - then an amazing thing happens tonight:

The Rangers will only need to win tonight at home against the Boss-Town Bruins to clinch first place in the East! That's right - the BlueShirts could take the ice tonight with a chance to clinch home ice through the first three rounds of the playoffs.

And - Dave Puck and Pucks Junior will be there to cheer them on.

So - for the 12:30 game we find ourselves say

"Let's Go Flyers". (But just for today)

Which reminds me - my BlueShirt Brother-In-Law J. McFly has joined the team here and will be periodically reporting on the NHL in this blog. Welcome aboard McFly - and we're all Flyers fans (between now and 3pm.)
