NATIONAL HOCKEY LEAGUE – or should I say “National Home Run League” tonight, baby! The New York Rangers came into UBS Arena looking for the 3–0 stranglehold, and they got it in a slugfest special, knocking off the Long Island Islanders 14–11, baby!
We’re talkin’ about Itsuro Bliebernicht — ohhh, my guy was a PTP’er, a prime-time performer, delivering 3-for-5, 2 bombers, 4 RBIs, scoring 3 times — Mamma Mia! That’s stepping up when your team needs ya, baby!

And how about Benny Rice? My diaper dandy turned super stud — 4-for-5, 2 homers, 3 RBIs, 11 total bases — that’s video game numbers, baby! He was hittin’ rockets all over the yard!

The Rangers’ bats were like the fireworks on the Fourth of July, baby — 6 different guys going deep: Rice, Bliebernicht (twice), Cuylle, M. Grubin, E. Grubin, A. Grubin — boom, boom, boom! It was a home run derby wearing playoff clothes!

Now, give credit to the Isles — they fought like crazy in the 6th inning, baby, dropping 8 runs in a frame that had more drama than the last two minutes of the NCAA title game. J. Valenzuela? Two dingers. A. Esparza? Two dingers. The fans were losing their minds, the place was rocking, but in the end, the Rangers’ bullpen slammed the door shut!

Series now 3–0, Rangers just one win away from the Conference Finals sweep. Tomorrow night? It’s do-or-die for the Islanders, baby — bring your popcorn, because the PTP’ers will be out in full force!
