Columns


Our first columnist is one of the smartest guys in hockey.  He has been around it all of his life and to listen of some of his stories growing up in Massachusetts, you would be amazed.  This guy knows his stuff and knows it well.  Sitting at a hockey game it’s like having an Official Hockey Guide sitting next to you.  Check out our Star Columnist:  Lessons from a Chap in Europe 

This columnist’s nickname is THE CAPTAIN, as opposed to our childhood neighborhood hockey team’s nickname, REDLIGHT.  The Captain has been with NYRS.com since the beginning way back in the days when we were known as crackheadtheo.com, hence his column’s name, “The Crack Den.”  His unique personality and sense of humor tied together with his business and hockey sense bring you a fresh way of looking at today’s NY Islander and NY Ranger rivalry.  Check out The Captains Column:

Long story short a buddy of mine wanted to be a minister when he happened upon this online ordaining web service.  I believe it is similar to the one that ordained Joey from the TV show Friends.  Just trying to come up with some new web ideas, I chucked away a couple of bucks and had Bobby Nystrom canonized a saint and named a congregation after him. Check out the Thore Tabernacle.

We here at NYRS.com tend to be of the conservative persuasion and there isn’t much more than we don’t like than a rangers fan and that is one of them there Liberals.  I was reading in the paper about some comments Richter made and was very incensed by them.  He is a fellow American and was even more upset when he represented Team USA in goal at the Olympics.  Call me old fashion but we don’t like the likes of Streisand, Harrelson, Fonda, and Penn.
