Here We Go Rangers!

Chris Kreider celebrating eventual game-winner

The New York Rangers are headed to game 7.  Who’s excited? Last night they beat the Ottawa Senators 3-2 to keep themselves in the playoffs.

Derek Stephan scored the Rangers first goal in the 2nd period to tie the game and was followed up by Brad Richards and rookie Chris Kreider.

The goal was the first of Kreider's professional career.  He won the college National championship with Boston College earlier this month and joined the Rangers in game 3 replacing Hagelin.  Teammates as well as Head Coach Tortorella say they are impressed by his play.

The scoring in the second period last night finally broke the 6 period shut out that began in game 4. 

The Rangers will face Ottawa at home on Thursday and history is their favor.  They are 3-0 in game 7s played at home, including the year they won the Stanley Cup. 

"Our thought is to win it," Rangers coach John Tortorella said Tuesday during a conference call. "As far as there not being a Game 7 at Madison Square since 1994, it doesn't affect anything we do. We're going into a Game 7 with an opportunity to win the hockey game. That's all we're concerned about."

We have faith.  Let’s go Blueshirts…

Like Crazy Movie Review

I recently saw the Sundance film festival winner Like Crazy.  Suggested to our class by everyone's favorite Marist film teacher Josh Robbins, the movie was every bit as emotionally driven as he promised.  The story follows a young couple experiencing first love, who is eventually pulled apart by outlandish circumstances. Jacob and Anna meet at college in Los Angeles, where Jacob is native, and Anna is studying in America from England. It pulls at your heart strings when Anna is deported back home for overstaying her visa, and is separated from the love of her life.  The characters and their actors are believable and "bring both intimacy and delicacy to the push and pull of love, longing and regret" according to the Los Angeles Times. The movie is more then just a chick flick and offering a more heartfelt take on youthful passion.

Facebook Buys Instagram for $1B

Instagram Team visiting Facebook HQ

Mark Zuckerberg announced Monday that Facebook will acquire Instagram, the trendy Smartphone app, for a staggering $1 billion. 

Instagram which launched for iPhone in 2010, is tremendously popular, allowing users to take or upload photos and then edit them for a similar look to lo-fi photography.  The pictures look great and people upload finished products to their social networking sites, ie Facebook and Twitter. Instagram has already earned 30 million iOS users and collected over 1 million the first day andriod was added.

Facebook will purchase the app for $1 billion in cash and stock, but promises to keep Instagram as a separate entity.  They have already hired the 13 person team responsible for Intragram and hope to only improve the app.

The success story of founder's Kevin Systrom and Mike Krieger may almost rival that of the Social Network. Systrom, Stanford graduate who designed the program had no formal computer science training, built the prototype from scratch.  He is now cashing in on a $400 million plus payday.

Zuckerberg wrote on his Facebook page saying:

"This is an important milestone for Facebook because it's the first time we've ever acquired a product and company with so many users. We don't plan on doing many more of these, if any at all. But providing the best photo sharing experience is one reason why so many people love Facebook and we knew it would be worth bringing these two companies together."
