NOM 1S0 • Page 2A Times -Advocate, February 17, 1988 Sports Spotlight New York, New York I lave I gut a story for you. It's about Davc and Trish Shaw -- people from small town •in • Ontario who arc making ak b therr way in a city that can be as for- eu111 :IS foreign gets. .It's about Madison Square Gar- dens where several thousand pet), pie bring all their aggression oIf • thc street and locus it on the New York Rangers and the guy sitting two rows down who keeps jumping out of his seat* when the puck crosses the red line. The -story is set under the Em- pire' State Building and the C11'rysler Building, near Grand Central Station and -Broadway. It's coming to you .almost live from New York City. • I've just returned front a three- day trip to New York where I spent some time with the Shays, trying R) get an inkling of 'what- it's like to be a proles sional hockey player and a pro- fessional.hox:key player's wife.. What I discovered was two charming, -unassuming people, enlaced in a life that seems -al- most fictional, but which bears all the markings of everyday liv- ing. New York, New York. Yoti have to say it twice just to cover ;tlanhattan. Before you can appreciate the romance of the city, you have tO get used to the, dirt and the graffitti and -the • homeless people sitting on man- hole covers to keep warm. You have to get your bearings and learn a few quick lessons. The tatxi'driver dropped me in - front of Madison Square Gardens at 5 p.m. Thursday afternoon. The Rangers didn't play until 7:30, so I had a couple of hours - to look around. 1 checked .my bags in Penn Station, located under the rnatnrnoth Gardens, and struck out: • Imagine the intensity' of the shopping crowd at Masonville Mall in London three days before Christmas. Throw in beggars, street vendors and bag ladies. Mix them with high brow ladies in fur coats and men in tailored suits and taxis -- lots of taxis -- and you have the streets of New York. Of course you don't really have them because there can be no other place- with exactly the same Ilavour (and yes, - you can taste the air). I did my best to blend in, rea- soning- that a bumpkin like -my- self would be an easy mark for whatever was out there, but it was an impossible task. The av- erage New Yorker doesn't walk around with saucer eyes and a stretched neck and I just couldn't help looking up. Soon sick of .the crowded side- walks, I decided to walk through a small, seemingly empty park which stood in front of an im- pressive columned building. Big mistake. After warding off offers from three different drug dealers I head- ed -back to the sidewalk at a good clip, all the time trying to rrtain- tain some semblance of dignity. - The next thing I tried to do was get to the top of the Empire State Building. I ran into prob- lems though, when i walked into the Chrysler Building to catch the elevator. • No, 1 was -told by a caustic se- curity guard, this is not the Em- pire State Building, this is a place of business. Embarrassing. 1 fumed around and walked out, trying to wipe the tourist sticker off my,forehead.. I eventually made it to the top of the Empire State Building, looked around, thought of King Kong and decided I wouldn't want to be_Fay.\Vray. I met Trish at the Gardens -- a pleasant surprise because 1 had expected to watch the game alone. We introduced ourselves and then the Rangers skated onto the ice and it was impossible to talk anymore. I thought a jet had crashed through the roof. The fans screamed. - They screamed during the national an- them and they cheered at the drop of the puck. For an instant I thought the Rangers could do no wrong in their eyes. And then Washington Capitals scored after 20 seconds of play and the fans heckled their team just as vigor- ously. It was a pattern for the night. Jubilant cheers, then un- printable chants. Fights broke out in the stands .on the other side.of the arena. Two men nearly carne to blows one row from where we sat when one lit a cigarette soon after a no Smoking announcement. Sornetirnes the play on the ice became more interesting than the action in the stands. Trish covered her eyes a lot. Rangers dressed only five de- fcncemen for the game which meant extra shifts for Dave who was ill with the"flu. Thcy were • soon trailing 4-0 and the fans wcrc howling. By the end of the second, New ''ork had rallied with'threc unan- swered goals and the crowd was beaming and scrca.ming again. But it • didn't last long. Thcy Came out on the losing end and the Ncw York mobs went home with "Rangers suck" on their lips. Welcome to Ncw York, sports fans. • Next week, the Times - Advocate will feature a full page spread on Dave and Trish Shaw and their life in the Big Apple.
