Your review of bars in MSG area before games was accurate and says it like it is!!! When I opened on 1969. Yes, 1969. There were very a few Blarneys and that was it!! Oh, how have things changed?? Our glass of beer was .10 cents!!! A shot was a quarter!!

THank you Tom, I love your place. Was just there again last week. I enjoy the blue collar environment. You would know better than me, what is there, like 5 different Blarneys in a 1 mile radius? We know the original!
I loved your review about last nights game with Dallas. Mostly with your attendance which was a perfect example of how they treat there fans. To me, it all falls on the shoulders of the owner, Jim Dolan. Unfortunately he could give a rats ass. He can care less for the Ranger fans that live in Connecticut by blocking us out of MSG televised games.
Thanks Ron. The Rangers will never be a focus of Dolan unfortunately and until fans stop showing up to MSG (which will never happen), nothing will ever change.
You were absolutely correct in the assessment of other bloggers. It’s the end of the world that Laff got to sit a game. Apparently they don’t watch. The last few games he has been a non factor and wondered if he was in the lineup. I don’t understand how the team regresses from one game to the next. I don’t think that’s the fault of the coach whose head should be on a platter. Lol. He is the best coach since Torts. The problem with Torts was that he ran them into the ground and they ran out of steam.
Sadly, the days of the Stubhub Trick have come to an end – and where Covid ended it.
Prior to the pandemic, you could hang out at a NYC bar and wait for the last minute to buy tickets on the cheap – and then see what didn’t sell – and move into the good seats.
After Covid, all major entities, Rangers included, noticed that their face value tickets could go for more and in an attempt to kill all secondary markets – nearly doubled the get-in price for games.
I did have a good run there – but these days – the trick doesn’t work and it’s nearly $250 to enter M$G on most nights.

#4 Greschner should be a blueshift that is hung in the rafters at MSG

Hey Linda, I 10000% agree. He’s one I advocate for in my first book: https://bluecollarblueshirts.com/nyrroh/

If they closed some of those series’ earlier in 2012, maybe they would’ve toppled the Devils that year.
Was referred to your blog from a friend. Loved the recap from yesterday’s game from Philly.
Would love to learn your Sub Hub Trick. I clicked on the link but it did not come up.
If you would share I would love to learn!
Thank you!
