Game time

Posted by: Laurel Babcock - Posted in Uncategorized on Sep 24, 2009

Alright Staal and all…..this ought to be an interesting evening don’t ya think? Could be chippier than the Boston game, perhaps? At any rate, I give you your clean canvas on which to paint your your wit and wisdom (see how much happier I am today than last night :) Let the game begin, and LGR!!!

P.S. After the dreaded jump, a present. Sorry, I just couldn’t help myself, but at least way you can avoid if you choose ;)

Hee hee!

    thanks Laurel, I needed that after the horrible day/week/month I’ve been having at work!

  3. Linda

  4. CCCP

    yup… i got no life! lol

  5. Rob E

    CCC Lives here – everyone else just rents space.

  6. Linda

    i was actually first the other day and thought it was the end of the world!

  7. Rob E

    Loved reading that last thread – what a great idea.
    Good stuff on this guest blog week again.

  8. Linda

    Laurel does not disappoint,and it was nice to read everyones stories. I’m sure someone will come on and complain about it, some people aren’t happy unless they are miserable and complaining aboot something

  9. Rob E

    wait, Linda – you’ve met my mother?

    LOL

  10. Izzy Mandlebaum

    CCCP First?

    You think you’re better than me?

  11. Colorado Mark

    Repost- Anyone know an online stream for the game (free, I can’t pay for the hockeystreams.com because I’m doing Center Ice during the year (i’d rather watch hockey on a big screen than my computer.) Why the NHL and Center Ice doesn’t include Pre-Season games I don’t know.

  12. Linda

    Rob, we must be related!

  13. CCCP

    Izzy Mandlebaum

    CCCP is always in his bed in front of the computer, so his pants are never on anyway..

    Darn, too bad I don’t post during the game. I DVR and delay watching by 30-40 min. Too freaking nervous to wait for the intermission and commercials… I know… Does that qulalify for a crazy fan or what?

  26. Linda

  27. MAKO

    When is Ovie getting that TOOTH fixed! LOL

  28. Linda

  31. MAKO

    LOL Linda… well the one that’s MISSING LOL

    Nah that was Cindy’s first and last Cup….

  32. Linda

    Mako, he looks like he was tasered in the face!!

    Yea Pavel, heartbreaking!

  33. CCCP

    and again… i cant be here when the game is on!!! ridiculous!! stupid homework!!! :((

  34. Linda

    can someone please keep track of how many times they say “DRURY” tonight

  35. MAKO

    HAHAHAH poor bastard…. he’s a good kid and loves the game. World Class Elite… at he doesnt have hot dog lips like Cindy….

  36. Linda

    lmao @ hot dog lips! I will NEVER eat a hot dog again!!!

  37. MAKO

    Linda they didnt even say Mr. EXECELLENTs name off of the face off ;)

  38. MAKO

    OH Lordie … R^2 on the PK!

  39. Olga Folkyerself

    Brashear in the penalty box. Better get used to seeing that…

  40. Linda

    i noticed that! I’ve seen him twice and they mentioned him once! too funny! And omg, i just saw 25 on the back of a jersey and thought of Karpotsev!!

  41. Linda

    wait for it Mako…wait for it!!!

  42. Linda

    DRURY!! we should have a Drury drinking game tonight..too bad i’m out of wine!

  43. MAKO

    well if we do that Linda… no one is getting drunk… ;)

  44. Linda

    we’ll have to designate a game for that, and I’ll make sure i have alcohol in the house!

    CCCP, you are a BLOG BEAST!!!!!!

    hey, not so fast linda. he wasnt firsting for awhile there and i thought he had lost his touch. i thought he shouldve been demoted. but hes back after that little slump.

  47. Mike(Grabachevorik)in IA

    i love you all. especially you olga. u need a hug. from sather himself.lol

  48. Mike(Grabachevorik)in IA

    where greggypoo tonight?

  49. Chris F.

    beth, nice call on that site.

  50. Chris F.

    Rozi, get some speed or retire.

  51. beth

    Chris –
    I’m lucky enough to live where I can get MSG but I use it all season long for western conference games because if there’s hockey on I’ll watch it

  52. Mike(Grabachevorik)in IA

    our pp is still bad lol

  53. Olga Folkyerself

    Mike!

    Sather? Ugghhh. I feel so cheap! I need a shower…

  54. Joe in DE

    Rozsival takes a stick penalty in every game he plays in. He’s too slow, gets beat, and takes a lazy stick penalty. Atrocious.

  55. Linda

    ovechkins looks like he’s been using some pro-activ.

    mike, why would you damn olga with a hug from Sather?

  56. Linda

    Joe, i am sure he will be held accountable

  57. Linda

    funny how last week they were all rippin dubi a new tushie, this week they are all kissin it!!! Where is SALLY?!

  58. MAKO

    Meh… I still think he’s a douche for what he did…

  59. Chris F.

    Joe in DE: sadly, I don’t Rozi’s lazy, he’s just too old and slow for the “new NHL.”

  60. Linda

    that entire drama was totally unnecessary! he shouldn’t have held out, sather shouldnt have been a cheapass with his young kid, looking back, it made absolutely no sense.

  61. Colorado Mark

    Thanks for the ATDHE suggestion. It was great, but it just went offline for me (like last game.) Anyone else having the same problem?

  62. Colorado Mark

    Nope, it’s back!

  63. Olga Folkyerself

    Brashear looks like his first job was shaking down kids for their lunch money…

  64. MAKO

    GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAABBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBYYYYYYY!!!!!!!

  65. Olga Folkyerself

    Gaborik! One of many, we hope!

  66. Calad

    Nice shot gabby

  67. Linda

    aaaaaaaaaaaah WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

  68. Alex T

    GABBY!!!

  69. MAKO

    See that play by Gilroy ;) SWEET!

  70. seth

    THAT WAS PRETTY!...I EVEN GET THE CHILLS WHEN I HEAR THE GOAL SONG DURING THE PRESEASON

    LETS GO RANGERSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

  71. MAKO

    Quiet in here

  72. Linda

    agreed mako…it’s cccp’s fault, he’s doing homework!

  73. MAKO

    The Caps have LQ’s #

  74. Linda

    threats from the point that they never had…funny how R^2 figure into the ‘that they never had’...hmmmmmm

  75. Linda

    what a crazy play by Gilroy. Semin scores…too bad Johnsons gone

  76. Linda

    are you kidding…lmao @ Brashear lunged and lost his balance. If he wasnt tryin out for the hand jive or dancing with the stars, he may have connected

  77. cwgatti

    Lisin played that like. . . . well. . . . Lisin. THAT is why you get him for Korpi in a trade. Torts will have his ear for sure.

    Brash. WHY are u fighting Sugden? No win situation.

  78. MAKO

    Yeah they all know to go high on LQ

  79. seth

    MAKO-

    HERE ILL MAKE SOME NOISE:

    DO DO DODODO DODODODODO DODODODODO DO DO DO

    POTVIN SUCKS

    http://msn.foxsports.com/nhl/story/9256608/Potvin-immortalized-with-a-30-year-old-blue-line

  80. Olga Folkyerself

    That’s usually the way it goes Linda. When the Semin scores, the Johnson is already long gone…

  81. Linda

    poor shrivelled johnson

  82. Mike(Grabachevorik)in IA

    lol olga. anyway, does anybody here still feel were short on toughness? and joe m talkin about gabby gettin 65 goals? hes gotta be dolans nephew or husband/mistress

  83. MAKO

    LOL thanks Seth

  84. MAKO

    GAAAAAAAAAAAABBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  85. beth

    please stay healthy please stay healthy please stay healthy!!!

  86. Alex T

    Lisin is trying to get to Hartford.

  87. Mike(Grabachevorik)in IA

    god joe is in his own world. sayin ovie shouldnt play for his country. hes wetodded

  88. Olga Folkyerself

    Gaborik gets #2.

    With the Washington penalty coming up, I missed an opportunity to say “Semin in the box”.

    I know it ’s awful…

  89. Mike(Grabachevorik)in IA

    mako- ur like 15 seconds ahead of me. dont spoil it!! LOL

  90. Alex T

    I agree;

    STAY THE FU?K HEALTHY!

  91. Linda

    damnit i missed it!

  92. Linda

    nah Olga, pretty awesome

  93. Linda

    nice, fankist with an assist!

  94. Linda

    mike, is hockeystreams freezin up on you tonight?

  95. MAKO

    Its ok…. I want to see how they react… see how much fight they have in them

  96. MAKO

    You know as much as I would rather Drury be gone than Gomez. Its REFRESHING to see passing up the ice than his rush up the ice that goes either no where or a pass into other players skates. Great passing play before….

  97. Linda

    honestly, did joe’s mental developement become arrested at 12?

  98. ORR !! What Is It Good For ?!?!

    Lol, the highlight of the night was Brash*t’s hilarious attempt to fight that guy. Hahaha, i couldn’t stop laughing, i got the hiccups afterwards.

  99. Linda

    now ORR, according to cheerleader Micheletti he lunged and lost his balance. I’m sure his #1 fan dave maloney will make some sorry excuse for it also!

  100. Calad

    He fell on his lunge. I’m sure you’ll see him fight plenty of times and kick some ass during the season, Orr.

    Very impressed with Gabs so far

  101. 4everanger

    Is it me or I kind of little disapointed with Higgins (not just this game)?

    Except for goalies, this award seems to be the kiss of death for ranger rookies. How did Norstrom win it twice?

  103. ORR !! What Is It Good For ?!?!

    Lol, that just goes to show you the main difference between Orr and Brash*t, it’s BALLS !! Orr didn’t wait around for 5 minutes before lunging at his opponent to give him a great big hug for another 5 minutes, while rubbing the side of his head with his knuckles.

    He went in, he took a punch to throw a punch.

    Im sure Johnson would have appreciated his balls.

  104. MAKO

    Yeah Higgins hasnt shown much…dont really know what the big deal over him was…

    I rather see one of the kids in his place….

  105. Mike(Grabachevorik)in IA

    linda- itys freezin up bigtime. im gonna cancel this crap if it doesnt get better. im not pain for atdhe quality

  106. Linda

    mike, did you get the hd package or the premium

  107. seth

    HIGGINS can skate….he is a callahan type player-he is not going to be that flashy but he can shoot, he can score, he backchecks well, he is responsible and fairly intelligent out there on the ice….give him some time he will be a decent forward for us this year and then he will grow on u

  108. Cross Check Charlie

    I’m seeing a game where guys in blue shirts are forechecking, going to the net and putting shots on goal.

    WHO STOLE THE RANGERS PLAYERS AND REPLACED THEM WITH THESE GUYS?

  109. Mike(Grabachevorik)in IA

    higgins has played well. what are u complaining about? hes not as “eloquent” as ay gomez, but hes solid. and hes a drury type player. u can never have too many drury type players!!

  110. jim

    bad game by Lisin so far. he has made 2 defensive blunders already, one leading to a breakaway, and one leading to a goal

    and Brashear getting rightfully booed as he has done nothing but take bad penalties and do crap in his fight

  111. Mike(Grabachevorik)in IA

    premium linda. its been fine until tonight. im cancelling very soon though. its not as good as i thought

  112. MAKO

    Mike nuff said “Drury type player”

  113. MAKO

    Brash has something to prove to the fans….

  114. ZzZz NYR ZzZz " Gaborick is in Da Houwseee !!!!… says Greg L.

    Brashear , you go guy!!! I love Rangers hockey!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

  115. cwgatti

    Brash acquits himself.

    He shouldn’t be fighting this guy anyway. Sugden is a sick fighter that has no business in the league.

    That is probably closer to the way Brash intended his first fight to go.

  116. MAKO

    Voros has played well tonight….

  117. cwgatti

    Voros is gonna make this team.

  118. Linda

    i’m pretty disgusted with the feed tonight also mike, but it’s still better than NHL.com, and atdhe and justintv just are not reliable.

  119. Linda

    good God in heaven what is wrong with this freakin stream tonight! ARGH!!!

  120. seth

    nice play higgins there! u see it takes time

  121. MAKO

    cwgatti
    If he plays like he has been (minus the fighting) i wont mind…

  122. Olga Folkyerself

    Torts goes over and gives Brashear a pat on the back, and feeds him a dog yummy…

    Good boy!

  123. Alex T

    Linda;

    you on hockeystreams?

  124. Linda

    Yes alex, both grabby and i are on it. Great stream right now!!!

  125. Linda

    wow..captain excellent with a nice nifty lil rush there!

  126. Alex T

    Thought so;

    Im idfalk btw

  127. MAKO

    Ugh Redden suuuuuuuuuuuuuckss

  128. Linda

    awesome alex!!!!!!! just said hi to you there

  129. Alex T

    yea, its kinda wonderful and frightening being at two places at once

  130. Linda

    AND trying to keep up with Fringe!

  131. Alex T

    oh please…

  132. Olga Folkyerself

    Henrik!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  133. seth

    dubiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii…did i mention i love him

  134. Linda

    aaaaaaaahwooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

  135. Alex T

    DUBI, what a mooooove

  136. Linda

    sallys gotta be outta her mind righ aboot now

  137. MAKO

    3 pt game for Gabby =D

  138. Alex T

    i think sally fainted

  139. Olga Folkyerself

    Gabotrik has the stick,
    but Higgins, gets the big-uns.

    3-2 NY

  140. Linda

    gotta like it!

  141. Alex T

    Good night from Sweden. Great game… see you in the morning.

  142. Linda

    niters alex!

  143. Olga Folkyerself

    Now back to your regular programming…

    Fire Sather!

  144. dlb

    way to drive to the net, Dubi. Gabby looks real good. Henrik is ready. good game

  145. Marian Gaborik

    I just want to say, i like big city, and i hope we can be friends. Good night.

  146. Crazy|NYR

    I like how Torts has shed the players that werent going to stay up here quicker than Renney did, Renney was still playing 1/2-3/4 prospects at this time… Torts already has the team he wants playing how he wants this early

  147. ZzZz NYR ZzZz " Atta boy , Donald !!!!… says Greg L.

    He is our “Ovechkin” our “Crosby” our “Iginla” our “Datzuk”
    We have someone who will challenge Ov for the Rocket Richard trophy and right now….Gaborik is an eary favorite to win the Hart trophy!!!

    Gaborick ooozes talent , move over Malkin…we have a new beast in the east !!! Gabby is in da houwseeeeeeee!!!

  148. Linda

    excellent showing by #10 tonight!

  149. ORR !! What Is It Good For ?!?!

    Haha, Crosby left tonights pre season game with a “groin injury”

    Hope this ruins his season, muahahaa.

    Go Rangers, nice finish to that game, and i still hate Brash*t and Kotalgeek. But i sure love Dubi Dubi Doooo !

    A Rangers win, along with my nightly fix of It’s Always Sunny In Philly”, im good to go !

  150. ORR !! What Is It Good For ?!?!

    Does anyone think Grachev will make the team over Boyle ? Does he play center ?

  151. Linda

    i didnt know crosby HAD a groin

  152. Crazy|NYR

    Grachev is going to hartford where he can get a lot of minutes

  153. Pavel

    Linda wins!

  154. Crazy|NYR

    Linda, he does, but its in MA Fleurys purse

  155. ZzZz NYR ZzZz " Atta boy , Donald !!!!… says Greg L.

    Kotalik does have a hard shot and he isn’t afaid to use it. With delzotto playing mon night quarterback and Gilroy playing forward…wow . Goals…can you say it…goals, and plenty of ‘em. Gaborik the great gets good goals ,gonna be groovey!!! Yo Mike , was coma-toasted to the tv . I’m here ‘ol buddy.

  156. Mike(Grabachevorik)in IA

    grachevs already in hartford orr., sry but he needs somer more experience

  157. Mike(Grabachevorik)in IA

    greggypoo. how are you?

  158. ZzZz NYR ZzZz " Atta boy , Donald !!!!… says Greg L.

    Grachev should make the team but there is no room. Unless me made 4 lines of skilled stars and ditch Brashear,Voros,Boyle.

  159. Mike(Grabachevorik)in IA

    duby got us that win. higgy can finish. who was complaining about him before??

  160. Chris

    anyone else thoroughly enjoy the fact that we have a team that didnt roll over and die (see renny hockey) when it became 2-2

  161. Linda

    lmao Crazy!! so tonight we’ve determined that Crosby has hot dog lips, and a groin in Fleurys purse, and Bettmans Johnson…. ok i’ll leave That one alone..

  162. Mike(Grabachevorik)in IA

    grachev is great. i love the kid. hes got an nhl career ahead of him. but we need him to be on top 2 lines and we have those spots filled. next year he is on the team.

  163. Mike(Grabachevorik)in IA

    i enjoyed it chris. i love the new rangers!!

  164. Mike(Grabachevorik)in IA

    crosby has liver lips

  165. Linda

    it’s nice to see them NOT play for the shoot out!

  166. ZzZz NYR ZzZz " Atta boy , Donald !!!!… says Greg L.

    Awww shucks mikey , tanks ..I’m fine .Gaborik looks good ? Yeah , he does doen’t he . He may rival Jagr/Bure as the most highly skilled Ranger ever of all f**king time!!

  167. ZzZz NYR ZzZz " Atta boy , Donald !!!!… says Greg L.

    Whoaaa linda , cool it sister…I may have an ice pak fer ya right here.

  168. ZzZz NYR ZzZz " Atta boy , Donald !!!!… says Greg L.

    ummm , actually Gretzy wins there…guy has his jersey number retired league wide..how can anyone compete with that?

  169. Shoryuken on Wade Redden

    Late on this, but did anyone mention the part where Ovechkin got owned by Voros? I rewound it 5 times to make sure I wasn’t hallucinating from my cold pills, too bad he shot straight into the goalie.

  170. jim

    glad you brought that up.I’m watching tampa up 2-0 on Edm, and Edm is not playing their usual wide open hockey. they are playing careful, hang back hockey. so Renney has already had a bad effect on them.

  171. jpg

    170th!!!!
    had to work late. did i miss anything?

  172. Linda

    a great showing by #10 jpg

  173. Izzy Mandlebaum

    171st

    You think you’re better than me?

  174. jpg

    caught a little bit of AGross twitter. nice to hear about that and also to see that the Professor got a goal. chalk one up to him and raise your glasses!

  175. MAKO

    Orr

    Zip it about Cindy’s groin… please dont jinx gabby…

  176. tomb

    Excellent game by all. Dubinsky inhis first game of the season looked pretty damn good.

    Who were all you losers who said Dubinsky didnt deserve anything over Q.O. because he hasn’t proven anything yet? HA HA Ha. You know who you are, it was only a week ago.

    I’ve played and watched hockey all of my life. That’s why I defended him.

    Gilroy impressed me tonight too. I’m pretty stoked for this season We just beat the stanley cup losers, lets go beat the winners on my bday.

    Excellent win.

  177. Linda

    hey guys have a great night! gotta be pleased with the team we had on the ice tonight!

  178. Sally

    Hi guys! The game wasn’t on MSG here! I was soooo bummed! I heard my little nosepicka did ok though, right??

  179. somerset

    Does anybody know if PA, Rissmiller, and Arnason cleared waivers??

    With PA, Locke, and possibly Grachev on the top line, and Ambuhl, Byers, Arnason, Rissmiller, Sangs, Potter, Sauer, Heikkinen, and Chad Johnson … Hartford has a pretty good shot at the Calder Cup this year

  180. Rob F

    orr what’s with the blind hate of brashear and kotalik? brashear hurt betts, get over it…and kotalik makes our power play 10x more dangerous with his shot alone

    are they the cool people on the team to hate? how bout we try not hating on anyone for a season and see how things go…

  181. Pete

    only real negative was anisimov’s demotion to the 4th line. he needs to be our 3rd line center, just gotta move prospal to the wing. and i think grachev is goin down to hartford for sure, but it will be good for him to get a lot of minutes on the 1st line. not sure where lisin will wind up once avery is back, maybe we can put drury on the 4th line and let lisin play on the top 9 (i wish!)

  182. UESBlueshirt

    Was at the game, everybody in the crowd stood up to see Gabby’s shortie. The man has the talent to slow the game down and it looked like it was a shootout goal

    My friend that I went with asked me the last time I remembered seeing a pay the price goal like Dubi to Higgins and I said “Jagr two years ago, Gmae
    4 vs the Pens”.

    You want to know why the Rangers will be better than the past 2 years, Gabby and Higgins goals say it all: skill and grit.

  183. UESBlueshirt

    Disclaimer: UESBlueshirt has had at least half a dozen “adult beverages” spanning from the Blarney Stone to MSG concession stands.

  184. mike

    rozy for tallinder anyone?
