Sweet Caroline? At Rangers Games?

Rick in Toronto sent me a note that Hockey Night in Canada reports that the Rangers have adopted Sweet Caroline as their "rally song". That's just sad. What's next - are they going to start playing Tessie between periods? Maybe the Rangers can start to steal from other teams and other leagues and have a rally monkey during shoot-outs too. Maybe they can start calling the fans the "12th man" (which makes no sense in hockey but then again many of the Rangers' front office moves make even less sense).

I shouldn't complain too much though because unlike a certain team - the Rangers will make the playoffs and they didn't trade the leading scorer in the league for a box of chocolates. Come to think of it - Neil Diamond is much more New York than Boston anyway. The Rangers can have Sweet Caroline and they can have Tessie too (I'm so sick of that song).
