What's the French Word for 'Ouch'?

Will people finally realize that the Rangers are overrated? Last time I checked, the top seed in the East was being fought over by Ottawa, Montreal, and New Jersey not, as the hockey media would suggest, The New York Rangers, The New York Rangers, and the New York Rangers.

They were mediocre last year. They signed Chris Drury and Scott Gomez. They remain mediocre. When will people tire of this?

Well, one thing I won't tire of is watching Ross McKeon love child Henrik Lundqvist celebrate his new 6-year, multi-million dollar contract by blowing a 5-0 lead against Montreal.



Five to nothing! Even with a no-name defense like the Rangers have, that's inexcusable. It's also, to non-Ranger fans, fairly awesome.



Oh, to grind the knife in deeper - this is the first time Montreal has ever come back from a 5-0 deficit. And this team played its first NHL game on a frozen patch of primordial soup.

Glorious.
