Rangers Fan Internet Primer

The NHL season is now in full swing — and though the ride has been a little bumpy the new season has brought some new or upgraded hockey web sites and game coverage.

  • MSG online has beefed up its online coverage including their Game On blog with postings by on air personalities like Stan Fischler and Deb Kaufman, as well as regular video clips from post game interviews and other coverage that doesn’t make it on the air.
  • NY Post Rangers blog, from the Daily News there’s John Dellapina’s Blog and from the Journal News there’s Sam Weinman and Josh Thomson’s blog.
  • Joe McDonald and the rest of the writers at New York Sports Day continue their great local hockey coverage. They also host a couple other great blogs like My Blueshirt Heaven.
  • Hockeybird forums are dead, long live Rangerland. The long time favorite home to Rangers fans has closed in the offseason and many of the regulars have set up shop at Rangerland which had opened last season

I never did get to work that day. Look back on Sept. 11, 2001

I saw the first signs of something being wrong from my seat on a NJ Transit train into Hoboken. Though I did make it to that stop, by the time I did they had shut down all the train service and other public transportation both in to Manhattan and out of Hoboken.

On My Way To Work But Never Got There

Five year ago today, on September 11, 2001, I was on my way to the work but never got there. The commute at the time was a NJ Transit train to Hoboken and then the PATH train to 9th Street where I got out and then walked across Broadway to the office. I made it to Hoboken shortly after one of the planes hit the towers and by then all transportation there was shut down and I was let wandering Hoboken all day like so many others.

When putting together this gallery and looking through the photos I had taken and digesting it all I wrote:

Look elsewhere for words. I have not yet found any that does what I saw justice.

I still don’t have the right words to describe the events, and 5 years later I fear the attempt would only be muddied by feelings about the events and changes that have taken place since.
