I'm so embarrassed for my negligence in updating you guys on the Metro Ice Challenge (What happened to Hummer?). For those of you who don't know, the Metro Ice Challenge is a head-to-head contest introduced by Madison Square Garden Network last year between the Rangers, Islanders and Devils. The winner is determined by the best record of head-to-head match-ups at the end of the season. 2 points are awarded for a win, 1 point for an overtime/shootout loss and 0 points for regulation loss. The winning team receives a $50,000 check for its designated charity.
We all remember the fiasco from last year (see here, here, here, and here), so there's been some rule changes this year:
In the case of a tie at the end of the season:
- First tie-breaker is the team with the better head-to-head record.
- Second tie-breaker is the team with the most wins in the MIC.
- Third tie-breaker is the team with the highest NHL seed.
- First tie-breaker is the team with the better head-to-head record.
- Second tie-breaker is the team with the most wins in the MIC.
- Third tie-breaker is the team with the highest NHL seed.
Current Standings:
Rangers - 2-0-0 - 4 points
Devils - 1-1-0 - 2 points
Islanders - 0-2-0 - 0 points

Hummer's on the fast track to Dinosaur-dom. I almost feel like the should be different jersey's for the Metro Ice Matchups. Call me crazy.
You're crazy.
No offense but that is a little nutty.
