Hockey is considered one of the most dangerous and violent sports on the planet. We all take great pride in not only being fans of the New York Rangers but of the game itself.
A great quote from Scotty Bowman basically summarizes the game of hockey. “High sticking, tripping, slashing, spearing, charging, hooking, fighting, unsportsmanlike conduct, interference, roughing……everything else is just figure-skating.”
But those are the things that give not only us Rangers fans, but fans of the game a reason to watch. Many of us have played the game in some capacity, and we understand the grit and self-sacrifice it takes to win.
