I am and always will be a TRUE Ranger fan, that is something I have NO DOUBT about, but there are things in ones life that will always supercede a sporting event.
My trip to Ireland is something that has always been a dream of mine!! Journeying to the country of my ancestors!! In the big picture of my life hockey or any sport doesnt come close!! I've experienced the Rangers winning the Stanley Cup, I havent experienced the beauty of Ireland!!
I've experienced Rangers winning The Cup after being in this country just somewhere 2 1/2 years....It was totally WILD !!!. I won't ever forget THAT Game 6 vs, NJ Devils in semis....

Yes its a few weeks late but just a few thoughts on the Finals!! It was a rough Finals for the Rangers, losing 3 games in OT, two Double OT and being eliminated in 2OT. And they had leads in those games which they blew!! UGH!!
BUT that being said I am still so very happy for the season and the ride to the Finals was so much fun!! Eliminating hated rivals Philadelphia then Pittsburgh (In Pittsburgh) was AWESOME. Clinching the ride to the Finals at MSG by beating Original 6 team Montreal and winning the Eastern Conference, well that was just wonderful!!
I do have to say i found myself fortunate not seeing any of the games except Game 1 as I was over in Ireland having the vacation of a lifetime!! I say "fortunate" because I didnt have to put myself through the stress and drama and anxiousness (that is a word isnt it?) of watching the games!! With a 5 hour time difference the games didnt start there till 1AM and for some reason the BBC didn't carry them!! No, I found out the scores in the morning when I woke up!! Groaned and moaned then on to the bus for a day of touring!!
Proud of my team!! Win or Lose I am with them!! Now we just finished a whirlwind crazy first day of Free agency in the NHL on Monday and a number of changes to the Rangers ands it seems every team in the NHL!! We shall see how 2014-15 pans out but I think the NY Rangers will be back up there battling once again for the Finals!!
