Rat from "Pearls Before Swine" continues to be the strongest and most consistent character on the comics page today - do yourself a favor and go ahead and click on the link on the right and read today's strip......

I keep expecting to see Shane dancing around a pig's head on a stake in the jungle - classic gold last night when he was concerned about his being naked and on camera than for Bruce - Terry is gold to the final 3 and Cirie is slowly becoming my sentimental favorite to win the $$$$....

KPOA - Maui's Island Style is back online LIVE !!!!

So lets talk Rangers-devils......

A lot is being made of the fact that Henril Lundqvist is a "rookie" and never played in a playoff game but what most people don't understand is that henrik has played in World championships every year since 2000 - he's won the Swedish Elite League Championship (just last year) and he backstopped Sweden to the GOLD in Torino this past february. He has played on big stages and played with a whole country & national pride riding on his shoulders - admittedly the expectations of the Blue Seats are much tougher than the whole country of Sweden but what I am trying to say is that Henrik will not be psyched out. What worries me is the defense play and whether the Rangers D will make one to many mistakes/bad passes and give up a few too many 2 on 1's - Brodeur can & will be had and I actually think that for once, the Rangers may actually have a slightly deeper bench - Matvichuk and his back are a question mark as are Colin White and his groin - the devils D is suspect - it can't be ignored that the devils won 11 in a row and the Rangers have lost 5 in a row but all that goes out the window when the puck drops Saturday at 3pm in front of a mixed crowd in the Swamp - I fully expect there to be a lot of Blue in the stands - you might get Jagr shut down for a game or 2 but you can't stop him in 7 - Rucchin & Rucinsky both need to come back strong and Prucha will be the difference maker - Rangers in 7
