Sorry, CR9, but the streak with the headlines such as “Rangers at Hurricanes” is long over.
Anyway, you can check the math for me, because mine is always fuzzy, but I have the Rangers at 38-34-10 for the calendar year 2009. Which is really hard to believe, because for most of the calendar year they were pretty pathetic and you guys were pretty angry. Justifiably so.
Speaking of angry, that’s what I will be if any of you boys and girls plan to go out partying tonight and aren’t arranging transportation home. DO NOT GET BEHIND THE WHEEL OF A BYFUGLIEN CAR IF YOU DRINK!
Carp’s gettin’ upset. I’m also already sick and tired of this: 2K10. Please. Golf Channel, for example, is beating the heck out of 2K10. How is it easier to say 2K10 than 2010?! How?!
Going back to that 2009 record (this season only), it’s also hard to believe a team can be 18-17-4 with a seven-game winning streak and a four-game winning streak. Isn’t it?
Here are tonight’s pregame notes. Don’t forget it’s an 8 p.m. start.
Me and Mrs. Carp are going out for an early dinner; that’s why the game thread is going up a little early. Hope to be back in the chair at HQ, and online with youse guys, by faceoff. PS, I’m going to the game Saturday and at least one of the games early next week, if not both. Sounds like the new boss wants to cover more hockey in 2010! He’s a Rangers fan.

2K10 sounds like what Sather gave Redden and Rosi per shift. Happy New Year NYR fans be safe!
Stooges are already on. Should I tune into the game during commercials or visa-versa?

Check out this reckless hit on Kopitar by Avery’s best friend. Also, check out how the whole LA team jumps to his defense. Any chance that happens with us? NOPE!!
So, your choice is either 3 stooges, or 21 stooges…
Happy New Year Carp. enjoy dinner and before you order just remember- Carp likes his chicken spicy.
2009 = Horrible year
2010 = Horrible year
2011 = Horrible year
Sucks to be a Rangers fan.

NYRGUy, That is what a REAL team does when one of their guys gets run. Oh, how I wish we had a team with balls like that.
By the way, Happy New Year to everyone in here and Carp, too.
Early Happy New Years everyone. It’s been a challenging year as a Rangers fan (what else is new?). But we’re all still around, healthy even if some of us are going through tough times with jobs and other situations. I’ll be staying in the new house with Mrs CTB and my dad. I have a pot roast in the oven and mashed butternut squash and these tasty kettle potato chips with melted gorgonzola.
Anyway, we’ll watch the game and if they start to lose and I lose my patience my wife will probably tell me to turn it off. Won’t let Chris Drury ruin my New Year’s.
Orr, you see my prizes/awards list yesterday? If yours ever comes true you’d mark it down as the greatest year ever.
New Years Resolution
FIRE SATHER
I just realize there are some boneheads with health issues or family members with health issues, may 2010 bring you (or loved ones) good health.
first 7 & 7 (7 & ginger ale) down the hatch at ten to 5! WOOOOOOOOO!! one of the benefits of drinking in your own home, ya don’t have to drive anywhere!
CARP YOURE ON TV!
51 minutes into Spring of 94 haha
Happy and Healthy New Year to your and yours CTB! Congrats on the new house! The pot roast, butternut squash and kettle chips with gorgonzola sound amazing!
I’m likin this true blue-NY Rangers Fans thing on MSG right now lol, although Gomez, Shanny and Orr are doing most of the talking
What ever happened to the monocle? A lot of people wore them in the Stooges flicks.
damnit i’m missing that now too NYRGuy!! grrrr look on the bright side, at least you dont have to listen to Captain Mumbles ChewToy!
Haha that is true Linda.
I won’t be on here tonight, and hopefully I’ll be able to catch most of the game. So everyone have a safe and happy new year!
Have a happy and safe New Year everyone! LGR!
Well now its official 2010 here! Happy new year!!!
And Lets Go Rangers! one can hope…:)
See u in a couple of hours….
Good Hockey Evening Everyone and Happy New Year!!!!!!! I know its not that time yet, and Linda Im responding to your email right after this. Thank you Rick for all of your hard work (And MAMA too) to keep us disgruntled Rangers fans happy and all together. Im hoping that 2010 (WOW can you believe its 2010) everyone who had to overcome certain issues in their lives work out. I wish and pray for everyone that they have a fantastic, Healthy, Happy and Prosperous New Year and making 2010 better than the last. I hope our beloved team gives us something to celebrate, so that we can end the year on a “HIGH NOTE”
“I liked it better with a sock in it”
“I like you better with a sock in ya”
LETS GOOOOOOOOOO RANGERS!!! And Orr Im gonna be up most of the night if ya wanna play.
Mako, that last line sounded like a pick up line!
HAHAHAHAHA I knew I should have changed the wording on that ;)
clearing throat deepening voice
Orr, broheim, I’ll be awake if you wanna catch a few games on PS3 – hit me up my main man. We can talk about the FOX!
LOL Better?
phwew! i was worried there for a bit! i almost spit out my new glass of 7 & ginger ale! too damned funny
LOL I aim to please Linda =P
Now I’m mad at Sloppy Seconds for hitting my favorite non-Ranger! He’s just an emo brat because poor baby didn’t make the Canadian Olympic Squad.
2010? I actually liked the movie better than 2001; A Space Odyssey. It had a plot. (was on all the time on old school channel 11). So I’m hoping the year will be like the movie for me. :)P
From Brooks via twitter:
Brashear, who wanted nothing to do with Carcillo last night, is out. Petr Prucha—oops, no, I mean Aaron Voros in Rangers’ lineup at Canes tonight for first time since Nov. 30 after 12 straight scratches.
Hey I didnt see the Betts goal last night. Did anyone cheer when he scored or when they announced his name after he scored? I would have LOL
brashear is scratched. voros is in according to brooks’ twitter
CARP, it’s still an hour to game time! THIS IS CARP! Freakin 7pm start time!!!
909 great news! we get to see everlast in the last game of the year!! AWESOME!!!!
Sharkie, that was much better, and I’m sure Mrs. Guppy would like that better also!!!
Good. He truly is a worthless POS and never ceases to amaze me when he turns down fights.
i wish he’d turn down his paycheck the way he turns down a lil bit o fisticuffs! man, sather can just send me 1.4 million a year, I’d get my arse kicked but hell i’d protect Hank and the rest of my teammates with everything I had!!!
LOL I think I would get the side eye more over the Fox comment than my “pick up line” to Orr LMAO
jk she doesnt care…
Hey Kids!! I finally got a free minute for myself and i want to spend that minute with you guys! My friends…I want to wish you the best year yet! Personally, financially and spiritually! Let all your worries be left behind in 2009! I love you all!!Happy New Year!

CT or anyone, I went to look at the pics from Warren again the other night, and I couldn’t find the Warren Facebook page. Is it still there?
I don’t have Facebook, but I could still look for it right?
Hey Carp, if you’re not careful come midnight you’ll find yourself caught between the moon and New York City.
mike doesnt his what greg?
GOOD ONE JOHNNY!!

And remember everyone, buzzed driving is drunk driving. I am being serious. Take public transportation or have a DD. And no Orr, I don’t be the size of Eva Amurri’s chest, I mean designated driver. We don’t need to lose any boneheads to stupidity.

That should have read, I don’t MEAN the size of….....
someone told me that the moon will be blue tonight…it happens something like once every 40 years… if its true…that could be kind of cool…so look out for blue moon!
Erik Christensen, claimed off waivers, scratched most nights, now your No. 1 center! Good work.
Larry: There’s good hunting around here.
Curly: How do you know?
Larry: I just saw a sign, “Fine for Hunting”

If Dru is sick, then just sit out. He looked like Christian Bale in the Machinist last night.

Ladies and Gentlemen, welcom to the culture of Clutch and their worldwide, world renowned leader CHRIS DRURY!!!!!!!!

so thats what ya call it mike??? hehehehe
mike u should see how many drinks it takes you to be as lazy and out of it looking as drury. cheers to hoping you wake up the next day if u do that though.
happy new year, everyone.
anyone else find it interesting/sad that henrik lundqvist was voted as the rangers player of the decade? nothing against henrik, but he’s only played like 4 seasons.
linda, and all my clutch boneheads, i am off to hockeystreams. thank u cccp for thae hook-up. i will report during intermission, if im still in a coherent state.
Quick funny story. It was New Years Eve in 99 and we were at my wife’s(then just girlfriend) friend’s house. When the clock struck midnight I had snuck in the basement and turned off the circuit breaker. The whole house shut down, and I could hear people screaming upstairs, “OH NO Y2K!!!!!” HA, I really fooled some of them. It helped that they were drunk.
LET’S GO RANGERS!
happy new year!!!! fugj u sather!!
lmao Nasty! very clever!
Ranger909, gotta keep giving redden them lines, keep sippin red wine, everybody looking fine. now its sublime, cha-cha-check it out. its Drury time. Clutch your purses cuz its highway robbery, brashs face is slobbery. Lets hope tonight wont be a mockery, have a feeling ima need dackery cuz the yetti keeps slappin me.
LMAO @ Clutchanese

Raps are superstylin,sather’s probly missin some myelin
He’s slow as hell, watching the rangers is like chillin in the NY stock exchange with no bell, it never ends, madness encloses, i gotta split, gotta be like moses, keep them posers, them foldgers in ur cup, u keep tellin me u’ll fix it, but the world is not enough.
Chuck
Lundqvist being player of the decade tells you:
(a) how many times Sather has turned over the roster
(b) how bad the Rangers were pre-lockout
I can only think of Jagr as anyone being close to Lundqvist in that period and he was only there for 3+ years.
they just said that Tort’s had a meeting with the team and then a meeting with the leadership. who exactly is the leadership
Oy , Sam Rosen and Joe M are so boring,maybe its the trying to broadcast a dreadful team, sam and Joe go off on these Tangents whilst the play is going on, even they are bored to death a real snorefest.
