Rangers Win Streak Ends...and Some Sunday Links

The Rangers win streak came to an end courtesy of the Pittsburgh Penguins today. Not the Rangers best game at all. Former Rangers Petr Sykora hurt the Rangers in this game. The only highlight for the Rangers was King Henrik stopping Sid the Kid on a penalty shot. The Rangers will be a frustrating team all season. They have so much potential but I feel they still need another scorer and some changes on defense until they can be considered a contender.

Marc-Andre Fleury was one of the three starts of the game and came out to be congratulated for that in a Steeler helmet. So one win led to another in Pittsburgh today.

Other links:

-I sort of feel like this type of biblical punishment was WELL overdue...maybe a sign they are doing something that someone upstairs does not approve of...

-Another day, another hedge fund manager missing and under investigation according to Bloomberg. I'll write more about this at another time, but you wonder if this is the beginning of the end of hedge funds as we know it which rely on a lot of trust between the hedge fund managers and the investors. It may have to be more regulation in the industry, but for hedge funds to continue to survive, they will need to find a way to get people to trust them again.

-And, lastly, the Wall Street Journal writes that sports mania is a poor substitute for economic success (H/T Deadspin)
