Rangers = Funny Games

Adam Proteau at The Hockey News attempts to summarize the seasons of each NHL team by identifying a real movie, showing how its title meshed quite nicely with each franchise’s performance this year, and picking out a genuine review that also offered some valuable insight into that particular team’s fortunes...

New York Rangers
Movie: Funny Games
Summary: By “funny,” I mean “strange.” Because any team that has Jaromir Jagr, Chris Drury, Martin Straka and Scott Gomez on it, yet finishes 25th overall in goals-per-game average, is a team that’s playing some strange games.
Real Review: “static, slow-moving and perversely timid...” – Jim Lane, Sacramento News & Review

...Funny Games? If you're going to do a piece like this at least give us a movie we've heard of. Even after googling the movie, I'm still wondering why Proteau used it. See review here.

...it looks like the only good thing about the movie is that Naomi Watts was in it. She's pretty hot.
