Rangers Are Playoff Bound

With the 2 points gained in their shootout win over the Flyers tonight the New York Rangers are officially playoff bound for the first time since 1997.

I’ve nearly forgotten what post season hockey looks like when you care what team wins. I can’t wait to get reacquainted.

Fear The Lucky Blazer

In the midst of a race for first place in the division the New York Rangers can back from beind down 4-2 to winning 5-4 in a shootout.

Opening his press conference after the game coach Tom Renney states:

The biggest concern is I’ve got to wear this blazer again.

So, was the win attributed to the luck of the blazer, or was it Jaromir Jagr who seems to be breaking Rangers records on a nightly basis, tonight tying Graves for most goals ever by a Ranger in a single season with 52 and tying the point total record of 109 dating back to Jean Ratelle.

Or Henrik Lundquist who came off the bench after two periods to make the game winning saves in OT and tie the Rangers record for most wins by a rookiee?

You decide.

Subscribing To hAtom Feeds With NetNewsWire

As I see it, the big “wins” for microformats are the ability to take a convention for tag and class usage and layer it over markup that you’re already using in a document to add additional functionality or more specific meaning to the content without adding bloat or working with embedding content that isn’t (X)HTML.

I’ve mentioned hAtom a few times, and I’ve mentioned implementing it on ChunkySoup.net—but in doing that I was left with the feeling that it was quite geeky, but needed some way to leverage that information ow that it was there. Tails is a great plugin for Firefox for picking up data contained in hCards, hCalendar events and a few other data items, but consuming hAtom documents still isn’t easy for the average person. So those wins by following the conventions laid out weren’t yet realized.
