Good win
carped! lol
I listened to the skills competition on the radio. Not good radio.
Geez, carp, not good radio? Where were you? I didn’t know there was football to be covered in Kazakhstan..
I’m concerned about Staal, his confidence is down. I hope it’s just a learning curve.
I liked that they responded well, it never looked like they were out… Hank, of course is the main reason for 2 points.
Staal was just plain bad today. Was he up too late last night? But Avery and Higgins actually played well, which is a plus. And Hank didn’t let another backup goalie beat him.

Parenteau scoring the game winner in OT with his folks and family in attendance…reality beats Hollywood everytime!
Nah, Beninati would say “understrength marker” rather than “shorthanded goal”.
Entirely predictable, but Don Cherry just ripped Fred Sjostrom for supposedly getting out of the way of a point shot when on the PK (the less than hidden subtext: Swedes don’t block shots). Is this the same Sjostrom that most certainly blocked shots for the league-leading Rangers PK last year?
Gotta laugh at the Leafs celebrating “80s night” at the game tonight. That’s like the Rangers holding “1998-2005 night” at MSG.
“ORR, is Olivia Munn the new Fox?”
HELL NO !!!
She’s not eve close to Fox. They’re both similar though. Both are geeks at heart, but the hotness goes to Fox.
And Orr is the man. Brash*t wishes he can punch like Orr can
am i the only one who thinks staal didn’t play THAT bad?
ilb, I meant that shootouts on the radio aren’t very good … all due respect to play-by-play man Joe Tolleson and Dave Maloney. The suspense is in waiting for those guys to describe it. It just doesn’t translate well to radio, that’s all.
And, no, not Kazakhstan. LeGrangeville.
LW3H, ha, 98-05 night could feature such luminaries as Valeri Kamensky, Sylvain Lefebvre, and everyone’s favorite, Rich Pilon.
miked
Yes. If the Sens were finishing, his gaffes lead to 2 or 3 goals, including what would have been a game-winner at the end of regulation.
Ceremonial puck-drop by Kevin Hatcher and Kirk McLean…
Carp, of course, LeGrangeville. Which is right next to Uzbekistan.
Brian McGratton needs a new nose. Again. I think Peters broke the old one a few years ago. Brian, whatever you do, stay away from Rosen’s designer
Bryan Trottier could sing the anthem…
Jason Muzzatti Bobble-Head Giveaway Night
Dan Blackburn foam arms…..
Jozef Balej T-shirt night
Dan Blacbkurn foam arms….
Eric Lindros ‘wobble’ heads…
Don Cherry’s outfit would look good on my dogs this past Halloween. Scratch that, too much pink. My doggies are boys.
Special Q&A session with Igor Ulanov and Dave Karpa – season ticket holders only.
Hahahaha, is it me or does it seem like Butch Goring high or drunk ?? This guy is more psychotic than usual. He can’t even finish a sentence and keeps stuttering.
I was born in 1975
I graduated high school in 1993
The Rangers won the Cup in 1994
I’m not a Jets or Mets fan
I hate stan fischler
Roman Ndur skating lessons

Theo Fleury vs. Sharkie.
