We bleed blue.

We are passionate.

We ARE Ranger fans.  We ARE Ranger Nation.

Best NYR Photos of 2011

Photos capture a moment in time that we love, hate, want to remember forever, can’t wait to forget… it captures love, determination, strength and beauty.  Photos are worth more than a thousand words…

After countless hours of scouring the NY Rangers website and google, I’ve come up with the 10 best NYR photos of 2011…

NYR @ Bowlmor Lanes for a Garden of Dream event.

Fedotenko and Arnisimov at Casino Night 2011.  Artie's double-barrel hand gun is the precursor to his sniping incident.

So, since my internets will be spotty over the next few days as TheHubs and I make the 90 million mile trek from ATL to NYC for the Holidays, I'm giving you an early holiday miracle. It's the last 3 entries in the 12 Days of Rangers, plus another post of bonus material.

So, grab your mug o'coffee or hot chocolate and enjoy!

On the 10th day of the hottest Rangers, I give to thee...

12 Days of Rangers - Day 9

On the 9th day of the Hottest Rangers, I give to thee...

Ok, so I made up that nickname, but honestly, it kinda fits. He's fast, has big teeth, and I'm sure he probably enjoys a carrot or two.

This is one of two that I am uber excited to do. Frankly, cause I've swooned many a time over Mr Richards... So be prepared.... there are quite a few photos...
