6:13 A.M. is a bit early too be up eh? Well if you fall asleep at 10 it is not so weird.
Rangers won last night against the filthy Islanders. I watched the whole game and loved what I saw. They won 4-1 and it could have even been a larger margin than that. Sean Avery's goal was my favorite. Marek Malik passed it towards center ice and Avery deflected it in. He would score again on an empty net late in the game. Ranger goals came from Brendan Shanahan, Sean Avery (2) and Scott Gomez.
Rangers are on fire. They are now in 6th place, 2 points ahead of the Bruins and 3 ahead of the Flyers. Toronto beat Boston 8-2 last night, hehe. Ottawa is only 2 points ahead in 5th and the Devils are only 3 points ahead in 4th. The Penguins hold the division lead and are only 4 points ahead. How awesome would it be if we go from fighting for a playoff spot to the 1 seed in the East? It is not far off. Especially since we are 8-0-3 in the last 11. Big game against the Bruins on Sunday at MSG.
US Women take on Italy in their second Algarve Cup match. I will recap that for American Soccer Daily later in the day.
Red Bull New York defeated Red Bull Salzburg 3-2 in an exhibition yesterday. For some odd reason they played 85 minutes. theredmenace explained it well on MetroFanatic by saying "It's the exchange rate, the dollar is shit right now." Ángel, Sassano and Magee scored for Metro in a comeback where they were down 2-0.
Trialist Lidor Marmol is out for 6 weeks with a hamstring injury. Red Bull and Chicago are interested in him. Chicago is only interested because they have a bullshit discovery claim on him and know we want him so they want to get back at us for taking Osorio.
In other news Blogger's ability to save drafts is incredible. I just accidentally closed this but it was all saved.

Upcoming MLS Season
Ok it is crazy that I have not spoken about MLS yet in this blog. I love Red Bull New York (Metro) and recently joined the Empire Supporters Club. The season starts on April 5th and this has been an eventful off-season.
My first ESC event was when I went on the bus trip to New England for the playoff game against the Revs. Despite losing 1-0 it was fun and I met a bunch of people. I also got to know people through MetroFanatic.
About 15-20 of us also went the MLS Draft which was great. We were the best supporters there and out sang Sons of Ben (Daughters of Betsy) and D.C. Scum. We also got to meet new Red Bull Eric Brunner.
A match viewing party was held at Stout for the USA - Sweden and USA - Mexico matches. I became an official ESC member at the USA - Sweden viewing party. USA beat Sweden 3-0 and tied Mexico 2-2. Jozy Altidore scored his first international goal against Mexico and I went so crazy I thought I was going to pass out.
Off-season events have been fun. We also go to Ironmen games sometimes (indoor soccer). The off-season is not over yet though.
USA U-23 Olympic Qualifiers start soon and some of the ESC is going. Sadly, I can not go but hopefully we will have some watch parties. Also, March 29 is the day that most of the MLS teams start their season. We are going to watch the games together in Kearny and rip on teams all day. Then the next day some Red Bull players will be at Nevada Smiths to watch EPL action with us. I look forward to meeting them.
Metro opens the season against the Crew on April 5. The tailgate's theme is pulled pork and it will be great. I can't wait to chant and go crazy for our guys on the 5th.
GO METRO!
