On Monday I was enlisted by the Long Island Press' hockey writer to take some photos at the Islander game and, with his blessing, I'm sharing some of the shots here for your consumption. It was a no-win situation for a Ranger fan such as myself but, to be honest, I was hoping the Devils would win sheerly because I loathe the Isles more and they will be battling us for a low playoff seed in a few months. So what happens? The Isles outworked the Devils all over the ice, Zach Parise disappeared and Mmmmaaarrrtttyyy was pulled as the Isles shut Jersey out 4-0. Typical. But it still was a pleasure to shoot and I am thankful for having the opportunity!
I share your ambivalence about who to root against in this match-up, but I must take sides with the Islanders. As much I have hated them since becoming a NYR fan, and before the Devils even existed, there is no person I loathe more on this planet than Brodeur. I take no greater pleasure than watching that fat, cocky SOB lose. Except maybe watching him sustain a career-ending injury.
And great pics, BTW. How did you sneak down onto the ice? ;)
i hate both teams as well, but as a resident of the dirty jerz, i took the side of the fishsticks. also, rick dipietro got me a shutout on my fantasy team so that was nice.
plus, i agree with DB as it was awesome watching fatso the flopper get pulled
I am Ranger fan and season ticket holder who is more than a little obsessed with hockey. The first thing I can remember is watching a Ranger game with my dad, listening to him yell "Shoot the puck Barry!" I loathe the Islanders, hate everyone else in the Atlantic and despise Mmmaarrrttttyyyy and Cindy. While I am a objective journalist in real life (seriously), this is NOT a media site and is kept quite far from my profession; it is simply an outlet for me to let loose my opinions of the Blueshirts - very distinctly Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde. My Ranger rantings and ravings have appeared on (or been linked to) such notable sites as the New York Times, Puck Daddy, Deadspin and NBC's Pro Hockey Talk - and I can't thank them enough. Comments and criticism are always welcome within the boundaries of good taste; feel free to e-mail me at TrueBlueFan329@gmail.com. And you should follow me on Twitter: @ScottyHockey.
All photos on this site were culled from around the web unless specified as being taken by me - that means I point out that I took the shot, put a sig on it or it's up on my Flickr page. The majority of game pics come from Yahoo! Sports, who in turn picks up Getty and AP more often than not.

I'm a little disappointed that you didn't plant yourself in Rick D's five-hole. OPPORTUNITY SQUANDERED.
Have the Rangers beaten the Islanders?
