No chocolate kisses today. This could be more like the St. Valentine’s Day massacre … remember how ugly it got last time Tampa was in town—Voros and Konopka fighting 10 seconds into the game, the Rangers stomping over the Lightning 8-2, Tampa Bay taking exception and Malone bloodying Voros late, and Halpern fighting Dubinsky late.
And Rick Tocchet making this quote-of-the-year quality remark: ”They played great. They out-hit us, they outplayed us, they out-everythinged us. They out-coached us. Every facet of the game, they out-did us. Their leaders out-did our leaders. Their goaltenders out-goaltended us. You can go down the list. The only thing we did was the bus was on time to get us to this game. The bus driver was the best thing we had.”
(That game was such a circus that the Rangers goal scorers included Drury, Girardi, Lisin, Staal, Voros and Higgins. Higgins, for God’s sake!)
So figure Tampa Bay is pretty ticked off coming into this game, recalling the Garden party the Rangers enjoyed that night, and that Tocchet surely has a long memory, and add to it that the game is really important in the playoff race—not only because it leads into the Olympic break but also because you need to win games like this at this time of year , or because the Rangers haven’t won nearly enough of these all season.
Now throw in Brandon Prust and Jody Shelley, who will probably drop ‘em one one of his first shifts as a Ranger, and that Vor0s will also be in the lineup (Enver Lisin is prucha’d). Potential for some crazy stuff.
No Gaborik, no Del Zotto today. Enjoy.
————————
AFTERNOON UPDATE, 12:48 p.m.: Konopka and Todd Fedoruk both skated in warmups, and probably will play. … Shelley is wearing No. 45.

REPOST!!!
Happy Valentines Day Bonehearts (great play Rick!!)!!!
Rick, I hope you can enjoy your forced week off! Bonheads, prepare for the onslaught of imposters!
Nasty, I guess the two ultra adorable kiddies and her being so pretty has a lot to do with that soft spot ;-)
Responding to posts at the end of the previous thread:
Koala, I’ve only been coming here since the early 1970s (as a kid). I haven’t found anything good to eat here yet. Give me a little time.
Noah, anything’s possible. Maybe you guys will guess if and when I pop in.
CCCP, maybe I’ll borrow Sally’s moustache from the Mara Beard Contest.
Good afternoon, Sally!
lmao @ Higgins for God’s sake. Rick, perfect description for that game/lineup of goal scorers
Linda, imposters will not be tolerated. Mama will be watching, and I’m sure you will all let her know if any trolls crawl out from underneath their rocks. And they will be banned.
Happy Valentine’s Day to all sissies from Rangers Team!
ps, new Olympic poll down the right side of the page.
Hey everyone!! At the game a little disappointed no Gabby and DZ… C’est la vie… Remember if you’re here come say hi!! 217 row d on the aisle
LETSSSSSSSSSSS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO RANGERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Saw the poll. Im being a realist. As much as I would love to see the US win gold and LQ repeat – I picked Russia.
I carped myself!
Carp, hope you have a good break!
Bout time the Rangers have some legit weight in the line up.
The first game of the year the Lighting were flexing their muscle and last game Voros got lumped up good…I smell blood…I am excited for once to once a game.
I voted for Finland! Who’s with me? Go Team Finland!
Its ok. We have Captain USA to score all our clutch goals today!!!!
That’s what i mean Carp… get Sally’s moustache and come to comment section! No one will know! :)
Happy Valentine’s Day to all sissies from Rangers Team!
With bucket of pink pucks and cat fights Manual.
I was posting a little bit on a Lightning forum for that 8-2 game (not trolling, honest, I was invited). Their fans weren’t too happy with the game, obviously, but after the Voros goal I said it wasn’t yet embarrassing. It would only be embarrassing if Higgins scored. Then guess who scored the 8th…
omg some guy told Larry Brooks to change his picture becase he now looks like a melted candle! That is just incredible
Yeah 4 years between Olympics for LQ Im sure he learned a lot and can gauge his fatigue level….
LMAO Melted candle
Linda, was it Torts? lol
Update:
Konopka and Todd Fedoruk both skated in warmups, and probably will play. ... Shelley is wearing No. 45.
Is Gabby in the Slovakian branch of the Hell’s Angels?
lmao nor, it was a poster!! there were two guys rippin him for what he said in his column about how torts handled mdz
Thank you Linda, and yes, that definitely has something to do with it.
gabbys all gangsta
SHould be a great game with lots of fireworks…. (well I hope)
Surprised Fedoruk isn’t scared to play at MSG since this happened (I was second row that night and was frightened for the guy):

It’s Go Time !!!!!
Game 4 – Track 4 (somerset’s Hockey Playlist)
http://www.youtube.com/watch#playnext=1&playnext_from=TL&videos=S5ebllOESPM&v=WrSC5cSzb_A
so who will fight with who? shelley v. fedoruk, prust v. malone, voros v. konopka?
Well Colton Orr isnt on the team anymore… but I think Shelley is a good replacement for him. I wonder if they’ll keep him after this season….
I’m at MSG!! Let’s go rangers!!!
Happy Valentine’s Day! Hugs,kisses and chocolates for everyone, specially Carp and Mama. :)
And Happy Birthday to Gabby!
LGR!
i voted for Canada…NOT!!
V PERED ROSSIYA! GO RUSSIA!
Jody Shelley’s Frankenstein.
Russia
lmao NOR
no Joe Michelletti?
Captain Clutch will deny them all! USA!
Lev, he’s probably on special assignment, hoping to be MDZ’s nurse
Somerset,
Good choice for #4. That one is actually on my “blood boiling” list as well.
AMBER ALERT!!!!!!!
Happy Bonehead Valentine’s Day. All I want is a Ranger win!!!
uggh..I hate afternoon games…they rarely play well. Hope I’m wrong!
LGR!!!
Nothin’ like a John Amirante anthem
Non-Ranger feed yet again! This is getting mildly irritating.
Joe Mich is at the Olympics, apparently. A lot of big, strong boys in Lycra suits there.
It’s Go Time!
Let’s Go Rangers!
No guest posting for me this time because of these busy school days. I look forward to reading the posts, though! No working online stream for Mac users today? :(
Potter in means 4 righty shooting D-men. Will be interesting to see who moves to the left.
lmao!!!!!!!!!!!
thats just great!!
Will Joe be covering the big strong speed skaters in Vancouver? lol
anyone have a link to game?
lmao lycra suits. Joe must be walkin around with drool dripping out of the side of his mouth
Should be some fireworks soon…
Micheletti must be at MDZ’s bedside, nursing him back to health.
shelley and fedoruk had words near the benches after that last shift. could be making reservations for later.
both teams look like they’re going about 3/4 speed.
C’mon Voros!!
Thanks Mickey!
Happy Birthday Gabby!
TMI Nasty!!! :)
here we go!
Wow, Carp you sure nailed that prediction!
VOROS!!!!!!!!
MDZ out, no Joe Mich, Valentines Day hhmmmmmm
hang in there everlast… well, its over
Instead of calls of fight fight fight! It could be wrestle wrestle wrestle!
im 1 for 1 so far!
lmao ddebened. I don’t want to go there!
That was an anti-climactic fight. Or maybe the appetizer before the main course, so to speak.
Can we keep Maloney? Dave > Joe
PP TIME!!!!!!!!!!!
Powerplay!
lmao, we have our own micheletti in the room
gotta like a guy that says “good dude”
Mickey, you’re right. Did you see Shelley’s face. I think he wants the main course!!
Pretty save by Hank.
awful play by Jokinen.
Methinks Jokinen hasn’t been practicing those 2-on-1 breaks against…
Rosival with the classic ill-timed pinch. Safe is death at it’s worst…
Is Dubi aware that this game counts??
wow nice hit by rozsival!!
Dubi isn’t a smart hockey player at all
use that big body flavaaah!
Carp…there’s been something i wanted to tell you… I LLUUUUEEEOOOVVUUU UUUU!!
Who designed Miller Lite’s ad campaign? They should get their money back.
awww, Dubi’s just looking ahead to his olympic break
Lol Mickey!
mako, amber of puppets!!
Has anyone said how the Rangers stink in afternoon games yet? It’s been a pretty good reverse jinx this season.
you’ll all be cheering for dubi later when he scores the game winnah!! ;-)
Linda
You just made me choke on my Miller Light
LMFAO @ your miller light!!!!!!!!!! you got 13 monkeys too?
if wade redden could just use his strength!!! lmao
Linda, I hope you’re right!!!
Has bettman announced that dubinsky has to attend anger management because he called Cindy a little baby?
who the hell would want 13 monkeys anyway?
Mako, summer beach shoes could also be used
‘nother PP!
Good point Winston lol
i think he may have after he changed crosbys pamper Winston
wait, this game counts?
Linda
What are Flip flops? What did I win?
Why does he always wait so long to shoot!
LOL Linda. I wonder if Bettman will let Cindy wear Pull Ups for the Olympics.
Pampers! LOL.
mako, you gotta let me know when you’re drinking hehehe
yea nor, they have pictures of little divers on them
WTF
DAMNMIT!
gotta love maloney’s enthusiasm
What was that slow mo roll in?
Nor that was great!!! LMAO
aaaaaaaaaaaaargh, THAT was ugly
PRUST PRUST!!!!!!!!!
The Swedish Olympian has got to make that save, deflected or not.
Hank certainly not amongst the best goalies in the league at stopping deflected shots
Prust-Walker. Middleweight undercard.
EIGHTS ARE WILD!
:(
dull fight.
Can someone put some red bull into the Ranger’s water? Or maybe some espresso. They need something to up their energy.
nor, guess they just wanted to make sure we all saw it!
Great, more meaningless fights!
Prust is useless, another great move by the ancient idiot named Glenn Sather.
was a horrible game so far. The lack of skill is remarkable.
One thing Sather is good at and that is taking other teams over paid garbage.
ishould call the man and tell him to bring me home so coffee…maybe this is just the LULL before the storm
ARGHHHHHHH
I thought Sather is good at OVER paying garbage?
Boy do I hate afternoon games….they should be napping, Oh, it looks like they are napping>!!!
Who is the backup goalie for the Swedish Olympic team?
oh noooooooooooooo
Oh dear…..
:( :(
pull LQ
blaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
thankfully ski jumping is on right now
I was never that impressed with Stamkos’ skill set, but gosh, he sure knows how to shoot and score.
I picked Russia!
the best threesome on the ice… hehehe
Time for anyone who voted for Sweden to reconsider.
poor beth and nyrguy, both at the game, not a good start
Well over paying 2 dmen who do nothing offensively by 8 mil will cause u to have no offense. Fire sather!
I am stuck watching the tampa bay feed of the game and they can not even pronounce the names of their own players.
is Staal ever going to put his purse down and start to play. oh, thats right he’s a shutdown DMAN who going to get a big contract soon.
Cally’s the interview. Best part of the game so far.
“MAKO February 14th, 2010 at 1:43 pm
I thought Sather is good at OVER paying garbage?”
Sather is good at that to. I believe he calls it multitasking.
thank God that mess of a period is over with
there you go Linda; your boy is gonna be interviewed!!!
maybe they’ll do better in the next two periods?
OK, Lundqvist maybe could’ve reacted a it faster on the first one, but what the hell was he supposed to do about the second?
not a lot of offense, but tampa scored 2 goals.. for the rangers sometimes 2 goals is an entire game!!!
2 more periods to go people. Lets not get all negative now… Captain USA is saving himself for the ultimate clutch hat trick so he can showcase himself for the top line on Team USA!!!!
yea fozzy, and serby did a q and a with him today also!! i hope he does well at the Olympics, and congrats to him on his engagement!
Just looked over my shoulder to the Penguins-Predators game on TV. A 6-year, $39m contract to the first person who can guess what image I saw.
Linda I was thinking that as he said it…
sometimes 2 goals for the rangers can be a total of 5 games.
lmao tomg!!!!!!! we dont give sather enough credit for all his awesomeness at multicrapping…oops tasking
We play much MUCH better against better offensively talented teams with weaker defensive systems than we do against better defensive teams with weaker offensive systems. We are getting outworked and beaten to every puck.
Frown Town here we come.
Linda, maybe you 2 can have a double wedding, give MDZ a chance to wear that white outfit again. lol
Olympians of 2024?? Yea if they decide to have ice hockey during Summer Olympics! Giannone…do us all a favor…shut up!
lol CCCP
thats true also tomg!
LW
what pre-tell did you see…. Does it have to do with Hot Dogs? Phallic symbols? Bettman?
LW
what pre-tell did you see…. Does it have to do with Hot Dogs? Phallic symbols? Bettman?
whoops sorry for the double post
lmao Nor!!
Hey USA hockey fans:
BRING ON THE SWEDES!!!
MAKO, he saw all 3.
i just love him. if i ever had a son, i’d want him to be like Cally
Dont forget Team USA vs China today at 3pm!!!!
Well;
I’ve seen some repulsive games from this team before but this one in this first period is in a class all by itself.
First off…no body is skating. Second, no one is shooting. ( unless you call those dainty flips of the puck, shots), and their PP…...oh dear, it would be a PP if anyone took any shots. But they pass, pass,pass, but I guess they were waiting for the ideal set up. And NEVER a hard slap shot ( Prospal finally unloaded one at the 16 minute mark, and later on in the period …but no one else came close to one. ( And you’d think that a team which does this much passing,,,would be good at it.0
They looked pathetic out there. And Voros, running around the ice trying to look like a player..ye gads. I guess they’ll still be waiting for that ideal set up before shooting, some time in March.
Make the playoffs? Who are they gonna bribe to take a dive?
What team will bite on their offer?
Fran is that you?!?!? Hey Buddy!!!!
lmao double wedding!! and mako, you almost killed me!
Sell, sell, sell but we all know Mr. sather will find more garbage for us ranger fans to throw up over.
GREAT LINE FRAN!!!
“And you’d think that a team which does this much passing,,,would be good at it.0”
that’s just perfect
wish Blair Betts were here, he would have prevented both goals. wish Colton Orr were here, he would have intimidated Tampa so they couldn’t score. wish Sjoostrom were here, nah I don’t.
did anyone just see the Islander commercial??
wow that commercial was definitely uncomfortable…was that michelobetti???
tomg, he’s just on the green band wagon… recycling others gargabe… he’s environmentally conscious
lmao AG!!!
Uh yeah that commercial made me shift in my seat. BLAH….
Sad . . . but there is time for things toget better.
i just hope they dont show it again ag…it was just…uh…a bit strange
Yea…
A second look over my shoulder resulted in seeing a Nashville goal. Much better.
MAKO – It did involve Crosby and a microphone. Nothing we haven’t seen 15 million times before.
Torts was on the Lightning coverage between periods – joking around during an interview! Wasn’t expecting that. Has he got a pizza joint or something?
The two best passers on our team are injured, the rest of the team can no complete a crisp pass. Game will probably be 3-0 before it is 2-1, if we even score at all. Tampa is just outworking us and waiting for us to make mistakes.
wolf style!!!!!!!!!! lmao
I love the taste of my Miller Light!!!!
This game is very meh… I got up before the period ended for a pretzel… I never get up early
1-I wish I was little bit taller,
I wish I was a baller
I wish I had a girl who looked good
I would call her
I wish I had a rabbit in a hat with a bat
and a ‘64 Impala
anyone else wishes’ for something?
ok, here comes the strong 2nd period!! hank will stand on his head, make about 10 saves, and Fankist will hit the twine with the biscuit
Yeah mako
It’s me. I got kicked out of the nyp for some infathomable reason, and cannot get back in no matter what. I don’t use profanity, nor snotty remarks to my peers, or any of that stuff, just for some reason ,I could no longer get my sign in accepted. Ah well….so be it.
I wanna see Shelley drop em.
Come on boys!
Messed up my sign in.
CCCP, pure poetry, I remember that song. Ha.
I wish to hop in the Dolorean and gun it to 88 and go back to the start of the first period.
they like bulk? have some fiber
I wish Sather would retire and leave the rangers alone.
Look at that …I even messed up my sign in here.
That’s interesting …. lately I’ve seen alot of goalies reverse their glove hands on their sticks to play the puck….
big body with pretty big hands…dave has picked up the michelobetti mantle with a flurry
oh boy…
Aves with a penalty shot!!!!!! Oh lord, please oh please score here!
Avery is useless.
fran, hope ya get back on in there, i enjoy reading your postings there
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW! Once he went wide I said, no way! Good for Aves!!!!!
of all the people to get a penalty shot!!!!!!!!!!
Great move, Aves!!!!!!!!!!!!!
MR. AWESOME!!!!
My baby!!!!! SWEET 16!!!!!!!!
I wish I had a 69 Ford Mustang convertible and 2 million dollars. . . . . . and a boyfriend. :-(
Oh and I wish I knew someone who could grant wishes.
wooo hoooo AVES!!!!! atta boy!!!! LBD!!!
That was kovalchuckesq
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAVES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Where the hell did that come from Avery!!!
JBytes
February 14th, 2010 at 2:07 pm
Avery is useless.

lmao @ the graphic saying STEVE AVERY
thats pretty pathetic
Fran
HEY!!! That is EXACTLY what happened to me!!! I tried & tried and tried. So I stopped posting here. Hey everyone here is like family and would love to have you aboard!!! On off game nights we talk about random things to keep things interesting…
Ladies and Gents Fran knows his stuff when it comes to hockey and has some FANTASTIC stories!!
AAAAAAAAAAAAVERRRRRRRRRRY!!!!
Rick TOcchet,what are the odds???
Bring on those shootouts baby, we’ve got Sean Avery.
>>COME AGAIN?
Avery is useless!
*there
NO ONE CROSS-CHECKS FANKIST IN THE CORNER!!!!!!!!!!
Whats nyp?
i’ll concur with you Mako, i enjoy a lot of frans insights over there. i just wonder if he can deal with the randomness and jibberish that goes on here
Jeez, step away for a few and I miss that Cally’s engaged
:( and an Avery goal.
Now a PP? Sweet. Let’s tie it up boys.
lmao@ dirty dancing reference!
Hi Fran!! Glad to have you!!
OMG that was such a DIVE!!!
aaaaaaaargh damnit
FANKIST BABABABABABBAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
FANKISSSST!
:) :)
HAHA, wow! Well, hang on folks, I hope this teams makes me eat my words again.
BIG saves lead to BIG goals. 2-2.
YEah new game!
Yep, we should trade Vinny, definitely :)
FANKIST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
Tanning coupons for all!
I TOLD YOU HE’D SCORE THIS PERIOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
FANKIST once again proves me right!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Somebody finally woke up the Rangers!!
Vinny is on fire!
Nasty, you might wanna keep the sad van off to the side!!
FANKIST!!!!!!!!!!! best goal celebrations!!!
They must have thought it was a 2 o clock start time..
Maloney:
“the rangers need to get the puck and get it in.”
maybe they just need someone to dumb it down for them!
Nasty, would that lead to a sort of Olive Garden deja vu??
I want to see taking the body and smart plays here. No stick checking and P play. I want to see the grit we saw the other night dammit!
JBytes….Come Again????!!!!!
Fran, forget the Post! it’s much better here!
Trade Lundqvist!
I wish they would mic VP up. I’d love to hear what he says during the game and what he says when he scores LOL
lmao @ LW!!!
oh man mako, that would be hilarious! i bet they’d do it on a night i get the other teams announcers though…grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Winston, I love Maloney, always have, but that kind of comment drives me batty! Duh, ya think!?
Pass. Shoot. Score. ——> simple
they haven’t done that miked up during the game thing at all this year, have they?
i miss that.
oh no!! not Dubis pretty punem!
OMG OMG. is this a no “two times” michelletti broadcast? is that D maloney i hear in his place? the broadcast is less annoying and more informative! hooray!
My 2 year old just crapped his pants while wearing his Rangers jersey. I looked at him and said, “Son, you’d fit right in on this years team.” LOL
lmao!! he dirtied his crosby (diaper)
Thompson is going to have nightmares of Hank tonight, LOL
dont they do the miked up thing on NBC…too bad it is now Nothing But Crosby network and we will never see the Rangers on it
LQ’s been great this period
can Redden EVER put a hard shot on net?? mofo’s got marshmallow hands!
Glad Dubi didnt have his finger up his nose…
Linda, if this team makes the playoffs, I am taking you to the Olive Garden and you can have all the salad and breadsticks you want. :)
CCCp, guess he inherits one of brashears nicknames now!
or we can just call him FLUFF
I know I’m late but AVERY! Nice job 16.
This is awesome. Some guy just proposed to his girl on the big screen. She was mortified, pissed off, and got up and stormed out of the seats, him chasing her, all on the video board. And people cheered for her.
Holy Carp.
LMAO NASTY!!!!!! and I’ll bring you tasty cookies for bonehead fest!
Nasty, LMAO..you’re just full of insightful information today :)
Linda, LMAO to you, too.
Totally trade Hank, I mean, really, what does he bring to this team :) other than the ability to save our blue-shirted butts!!
I really happy that LQ tweaked his game. I hated when he’d flop on his stomach….
Carp, that is just wrong! what a stupid girl!!!!! he should take that as a huge sign and RUN, not walk away
>>JBytes….Come Again????!!!!!
Avery has, what, 6 goals for the season? I’m not about to let him off the hook just because he scored on a penalty shot.
ECHRIST!!!!!!!!!!!!
FIM FIM FIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
:) :) :)
LIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIZA!!!!!!!!!!
Rangers lead! Christiansen!
EC, baby! WOOT.
Carp, that is AMAZING.
And CHRIST! 3-2!
Christening us to a 3-2 lead.
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
LOL that’s horrible!!!! Poor guy LOL
LINDAAAAAAA!!! Wooohooo 3-2!
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!
FIM QOM!!!!!!!!!
i love dave maloney but he trips over a lot of words cuz he’s so excited!
To quote Linda…:WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Carp, that is hilarious!!! please I hope that’s findable somewhere online! Poor guy!
They showed the marriage proposal/rejection on the Lightning coverage. Funny, if it’s genuine.
This place is still buzzing from the marriage proposal debacle.
ps, she was wearing a Graves jersey, he a Leetch.

Linda says AMBER ALERT
February 14th, 2010 at 2:04 pm
ok, here comes the strong 2nd period!! hank will stand on his head, make about 10 saves, and Fankist will hit the twine with the biscuit
************************************************
you can bring tribute to me during intermission!!!
We could see the Rangers on NBC as long as they are playing the Penguins. But do you really want to? I’m happy to not be on that network.
HOLY HELL FIMFIMFIMFIMFIMFIMFIFM!!!!!!!!
CHRIST!!!!
OHHHH DAMMMNNNN!
Was that a replay or is it 4-2!!!!
Yeah, I like that young man. 4-2! Goalie change?
“Some guy just proposed to his girl on the big screen.”
I luueeoooovvvee youuuu!
gee, then you think they’d be a great match :)
JBytes, he is more clutch than the captain….
HOLY EFFIN CARP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
FIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIMTASTIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ON FIRE!!!!! Awsome period!!!
WHAAAA WHAAAA WHAAAT A FREAK IS GOING ON!! LET’S GO RANGERS!!
4 goals on 15 shots
HORRIBLE angle played on that goal by Smith.
Christensen has as many points today as he has had since becoming a Ranger?
I LOVE seeing Prospal’s reaction to a goal when he’s on the ice for a goal.
Winston, its almost a replay of the last game!!
BIZARRO WORLD!
LOL@ IZZY!
Way to go Linda with that BOLD FRESH prediction!!!! LOVE IT!!!!!
Christy!!! This is a great Valentine’s Day so far…..
Nasty, i think its ok if you take the keys outta the ignition on the sad van
Prospal’s post-goal energy is infectious. I remember after he scored a goal during the home opener, I knew I was going to like this guy.
There’s Dubi grooming himself!
shanny at the game
Shanahan is at the game – being interviewed now on Lightning TV.
SHHHHHHHHHHHHHH NASTY they still are the NYR. Take the keys out with 3 min left in the 3rd with the score still the same….
the fact that torts said they needed to bury great chances has certainly gotten into their heads!!!!!!!
WTF If Rozi was called on boarding earlier why wasn’t this one?
what happened??? i left to take my kid home and the rangers scored 4???
LW3H are you in tampa?
why is there no effin call there???????? a hit from behind is a hit frombehind, no???
PFFT that was a complete dive by Dubi LOL

Avery has, what, 6 goals for the season? I’m not about to let him off the hook just because he scored on a penalty shot.
….
But you cannot deny the importance of this game and Avery’s big part in it. Useless he’s not.
That was Avery’s 7th goal by the way
Carp. Do u know what the girl and guy look like. I know 2 friends of mine that have been dating for 3 plus yrs that are at the game.
MSG having some trouble with their clock graphics there….
WHAT A SAVE?!
wwwwwwwwwwwwwoooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Holy Carp!
WOW HANK
CALLED THE POLICE!!!!!!! SOMEONE WAS JUST ROBBED!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is fun!!
hey guys.. anyone have a link for me?
Its been a while…
FIM interview!
Great period! Keeo it up! Avery called for roughing?
EC’s not bad looking. Except for the big ears..
YesItsPMS – No, I’m in England. I just barely ever get the MSG feed for some reason.
Opie
Get to see Vinny interviewed here in Fl between periods
Big ears and extra foot in mouth. lol
to bad we start the third on the pk … :(
Christensen always come across very genuine in his interviews.
Prospal on the first period: “We were horrible. We were sleeping.”
what kind of a trivia question was that? its like asking “who’s got bigger lips…little cry baby or a camel?” of course its litle cry baby!
Glad he said it LW
LINK PLEASE!!!
MDZ is being interviewed ladies…..
Christensen’s been playing good glad to see him pot a couple
lol Mako haha
Jason, dunno sorry I’m watching on tv.
how is mdz doing after all those stitches
Over the Olympic Braek MDZ will be recording a song with
The Jonas Brothers
mako,was someones thoughts stolen??? hehehehe
MDZ lookin’ sharp. He hadn’t seen the clip of when he got cut. Whoa.
And Pidto chiding him at the beginning to put his phone away, LOL.
your now aware erik christensen has 4 less goals than drury and is a +3
Drury has 9 and is -12
Defensive Dynamo at work
I don’t worry about MDZ. He’ll heal pretty quickly; he’s still a teenager.
Linda
its the way of the JABBA Jedi!!!!!!!
I love seeing that lady in white in those Optimum Business ads. Anyone has any info on her?
Did the proposal couple ever come back? You’ve gotta be fairly certain how she’s going to react to make a move like that. That’s a pretty big matzos ball hanging out there.
LOL chris drury
he said he was feeling much better and glad he has this time off to heal…
btw del zotto in Italian is of the zotto… zotto is not a word its the name of a latin general… for anyone interested
Johnny,
Clearly he wasn’t confident in the “Will you marry me?” return.
>>Drury has 9 and is -12
>>Defensive Dynamo at work
And let’s not forget his 80 blocked shots, which leads all forwards.
i cant believe I just read what i read!!!! lmfao!
Yeah CCCP!!!
Matt, if it was your buddy, you’ll know soon enuf! hope it wasn’t….

Good work Ag on the meaning of del Zotto
Staal, ya gotta shoot there!

They just chanted something about Potvin’s ducks, or something.
Love my LED TV. Feels like im in the stands
Potvin uses Tucks
lmao tucks!
well he is a hemroid
Linda, I guess that’s why I didn’t get completely frustrated after the first period! At least TB didn’t roll over and wiz on themselves like last time…so far at least.
How about the goalie for Team China “SHI” hmmm oh yeah T. LMAO
3-0 GOOOOOAAALL
Yknow, Potter’s had a pretty decent game.
Lightning…ha! more like striking a wet match…
If it walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck….it must be Potvin…
fyi (wicky, this is for you) VD love from Stanley and Cup on sister blog….
Mickey, he isn’t being given the time to get anyone! Gotta love the desire tho…Brashwho?

Happy VD Clutch!
Cluck!
I mean clutch…
Congratz to Captain Crust for #600
And INNNNNNNNNNNNNNTERESTING that Avery never smiled or congratulated him.
Strong game great follow up win.
2-0 without Gabby. Awful signing by Sather.
WIN for the good guys! YAAY! Great way to go into the break.
3 Star FANKIST!!!!
2 Star THE KING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
1 Star FIM FIM FIM FIM!!!!!!!
can’t wait to see TR and Mrs TR and Laurel tonight! cheers all
Ok… did ANYONE see Avery snub Drury for a congratulations?
Mako
I rewound Avery fist pumped Dru when he went to the bench
Congrats on the first star Christy!!! Today I think there should be a 4th star for the guy who got the rally started…Happy Valentine’s Day 16!! You’re always first in my book!
Good Afternoon, Ranger Fans!
A rare Sunday matinee for the kids! Yeah, a matinee usually fills the Garden up with all those little nose pickers. We can still charge adult prices though. Remember, no beer if they’re under 12…
I had a trade with Tampa Bay all lined up- Redden and Rozival for Stamkos. But Rozival pulled out his no-trade contract and killed the deal. Turned out it was just a copy of Kotalik’s old contract. By the time I figured it out, the deadline had passed. I hope Messier learns from this one…
(singing) “I’ve been cheated, been mistreated. When will I be loved?” Oh that’s The Big Guy’s holiday ringtone. Hey Boss! We’re back in our winning ways again! We got another sellout to start a new streak. Now you can afford to get that Valentine’s Day box of chocolate covered rubies. You gonna eat ‘em all by yourself? (click)
Let me tell you Ranger Fans, I’m sure going to miss Brash. He was the best gopher I ever had. He was way too expensive though. I guess I gotta go back to Muckler again. He’ll work for minimum wage. I don’t want to say Muck is dumb, but there’s a medicine out there named for him- Dopamine…
Gordy Clark is out at the Olympics, scouting for future Ranger draft picks. He spent a couple days looking at Slovakia’s Women’s team. He says there are some possible defensive replacements for Redden and Rozival.
Well, there’s a roster freeze through the Olympics so its nap time for me. I’d better set the alarm for March.
Wake me when it’s over…
Uncle Glennie
Agra
He didnt look too happy sitting there next to him, looked like he didnt play any attention to him. Drury just went straight to the bench after he scored….
Clutch non-impact ENG there, Drury.
Agravaine, thanks for that post :) why do people knock my man!!! jeez, he’d never do that….but you assume cause you didn’t see it…..you know what happens when you assume :) (prize for who gets movie citation…..)
Hey, it was only 2-2 until the marriage proposal/rejection clearly got everyone going. Can we arrange for that couple to do the same every game?
Most excellent game after the 1st. A win makes for a happier V Day. :)
I’m out now, heading to my sister’s for a Vday dinner. Take care!
FIrst they showed them sitting ont he bench, but then they did a replay of the goal and you saw Dru skate to the bench Avery put out his glove/fist pumped with Dru before he sat down… it was there, I rewound and checked when I saw your first post becuase that didn’t sound right.
Uncle Glennie, sorry (not) that you lost your gopher, but before you light up another stogie, don’t forget your other chore for blogfather and mama….:)
ANyway Aves can’t snub anyone after rightfully pointing out Marty’s snub… it would be hypocritical…
wait… where are all the herbs who only post when the Rangers are losing?
Front page of ESPN.com now, there’s a headline: “Crosby takes slap shpt off shin, stays in game”. Turns out he blocked a shot, winced a bit and didn’t miss a shift.
Who says ESPN doesn’t cover hockey properly?
5 – 0 USA
Start of the 2nd PD
Er, that would be “slap shot”. The typo is mine.
Avery congratulated Drury and sitting on the bench he had his normal “I wish I was on the ice doing something instead of sitting on the bench” face. IMO.
So the marriage proposal was rejected on Valentine´s Day even in the Garden ???
Poor Guy :) so are the woman, that is probably worst thing what can happen….!!!
sorry guys, was pulled away by a phone call from my mom!
i’ll have to watch the 3rd archived, so capn clutch finally got 600 eh!! LMAO!! did he even smile??? and does that mean he gets a silver stick from the organEYEzation for scoring what, 70 of those points as a Ranger? hehehe
6 – 0 USA!
I know Mako… its insane I guess China isn’t developed kind of like when Canada played Italy last Olympics…
lmao mako, OBVIOUSLY waiting for the next Rangers loss to post ;-)
Linda
Schmucks…
7 – 0 !!!
Not to worry, Blogmama, I left Muckler with explicit instructions.
I’m guessing that BM would NOT be a good nickname for Blogmama…
LW….maybe not a coincidence!!
anybody find a link to that? I have to see…..:)
All…the guy has stepped in as captain where the captain is absent….He gave Dru his props, but let’s be clear….it’s probably awkward (I assume!) between them and what the TV shows isn’t necessarily the whole picture…I would have been happier if the 600 party happened 12 or so games ago…
OK, there’s my rant.
my man was actually watching team usa!! maybe there IS hope for him after all!!
and let’s not forget…empty netter!
Uncle Glennie, um, no….that would not be a good nickname, tho I’m sure some posters would disagree :) still….
Muckler, well! I have no worries then :)
great win. wow 2 in a row on the gut check front.
who would of thunk it!!!!!!!!!
Linda, is ther an amber alert right now? or what’s up with your log in…?
7 0 now… at some point I really feel bad for the other team… wow SOG 31 to 3…
not a real amber alert, if there was i’d give details.
ag, its one of those inside jokes my twin and i have
so nasty, the sad van to frown town is just chillin for a lil while! And they went 3-1….whoddathunk that????
I really did figure that…
sorry if my name misled anyone, just me bein silly
Staal is still soft.
Linda, no way, you have a twin??? really? why do I not know that? The Keohane girls are twins, too….oh, if 16 had a twin…:)
Twins are cool!
watchin the archive of the 3rd, put first watchin the mdz interview which i missed also. good to see him up and about after that nasty incident
Two games! That’s a hot streak! I LIKE IT! Thumbs up! :D
I’ve been writing a paper so I mighta missed it… Did Dubinsky call anyone a little baby today?
No Sally but he did announce his engagement.
Video of the indecent proposal (as opposed to the indecent Prospal):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e4AlDQT5sM8
Noremry, to what?
great find LW..and wow, that dude needs to bail and quick on that chick! That’s just sad.
8 0
Why to a lil woman, of course. lol
wow does anyone know Melissa and Nick?
nor are you serious??
I’m confuddled.
WIth the score already 8-0 do you think at some point they should stop scoring like in the interest of good sportsmanship? Or is it worse to stop scoring?
with the precedent being set for 18 0 I don’t know what to do… this seems wrong…
Sorry, I was channeling Orr for a minute there. Wanted to see if Sally was paying attention. lol. As far as I know the lil man is only engaged with his Bryll Cream. lol
Laurel, lmfao MAKO is my twin!!
a lil dab’ll do him…lmao now orr would say something about THAT hehehehe
Ag, i feel badly for poor Nick,thats for sure
what was the time of drurys 600th clutch point??
Twins love the Rangers!!!
Ag can you post your youtube link to our video???
I wonder if Melissa got a ride home?
Linda, dang it, you get me every time!
score…Linda, 500; mama, 1 (I think?)
lmao Izzy! i think melissa may have damaged her potential dating pool dissin poor nick like that
lmao laurel, you just have too much on your mind to remember all these lil things!!!
huh?
oh… wait…
which one Jo?
Drury scored at 19:45. He was almost as premature as Nick.
AH ok… this is the one Jo wants
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GzWUU9XIFP8
LW, thanks for the link…I knew it’d be out there! Wow, that is painful to watch…Maybe we’ll learn later she was just so blown away and said yes….or not.
Linda, no shite….just ask Captain Clutch :)
i dont know laurel, usually if you really love the guy and he goes all out like that to propose, if you really love him you’re all shocked and teary and YES YES YES. she just looked like ’ you stupid firetruck!’ i have having attention brought on me, but if my man did something like that,i’d be astounded!! Poor Nick, humiliated in front of all those people, and now a youtube legend.
where in the golden monkey did mako go???
meant to say i HATE having attention brought on me.
Im here Im here!!! I was having technical issues LOL
oh… 10 – 0 now…
Uncle Glennie called in last night tyring to convince the Olympics to abandon to all Rangers players to prepare them as best as possible for the stretch run of the regular season..
The only answer he got was the promise of getting a pair of cigars from Cuba and the invitation to present the medals for the women´s hockey tournament…:)
That chick was a BEEEOTCH for doing that to that poor guy….
10 – 0 USA!
Laurel what time you think you will hit the city tonight?
dark side jedi mind tricks messing with your connection?
I BLAME JABBA!!!!!!!!!
JABBA!! nasty lip lickin slug!
11-0
LMFAO!!!!!!! Exactly!
mako, at first it didnt look like aves acknowledged drury, but on the replay when druryfirst mades his way over to the bench it looked like he gave him a glove tap
Gosh
Do you suppose that the coach read the posting? And read it to them after the first period? Or yet, he arrived at the same conclusion that we did simultaneously? If I’d known they were gonna take it so seriously….I’d have tried it before.
Wonder if I ought to do it again…......???
Agravaine..
Natalie Darwitz scores the 11th goal for the US. In her Bio its written that she likes Waterskiing, wakeboarding, playing tennis, softball, inline skating and fishing. She can also juggle fire and knives.
Oi, The Canadiens will have a hard time to defend the gold medals :)
china scores
11-1
Gol for China 11-1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
All the Canadians at the arena are cheering!
wouldnt surprise me one bit fran!
Linda, I think she was in it for the money and got called out…my quick read on it? eff her and poor guy…yes, now an online legend…:(
Jorek, sadly, I can’t make it tonight (again, sigh!) but I actually have to be home to do work for you guys! Besides, rumor has it the boys are going elsewhere….next Saturday perhaps!?
carp just got home from the game the i heard that the wedding proposal woman was buggin out on the guy in the hallway she was swinging at him and cursing at the camera crew.it was definitely the topic of conversation the rest of the afternoon. poor guy why did he ever go after her once she said no?
it’s a dozen to one…..... ugh!!!!!!
great question 308… poor guy.
that chick is why its so hard for nice girls! he probably saved himself a lot of heartache, she would probably be a bridezilla and a freakin high maintenance hildabeast as a wife. Good for him he just lost the money on the ring, instead of a lifetime of being emasculated
Quick Blip on the Proposal:
http://peteprose.com/2010/02/rangers-marriage-proposal-goes-awry/
Congratz to Team USA!

Agra, so I now know….Jorek and Linda, 501; mama, probably at 0….I have to get a new hobby. You all kill me :)
New Post, Carp?
new post.
Where can I place an add:
Nick, I will go to Ranger games with you!!!
Well thanks for the invite folks. I’ve read this blog a few times but I’d gotten used to the guys at the other one, but that’s a total mess over there now, so..sayonara. I did pick up on the fact that most of you know each other and the whole thing has a nice familial tone to it.
Mako and I used to have some discussions in the days gone by, and it was nice to see that he’d found a home. Different when you don;t live in the nY area and get to go to the games..have to rely ontheTV for them ( and then get the hosing by the broadcasters like versus taking over.
Down here on the Space Coast in FLA, we don;t get the really cold winters and snow from back up there ( but this year has been pretty grim). Originally from CT and used to see Rangers at the old Garden on 8th Ave & 55th St. ( I’m a real old timer, go back to the days of Chuck Rayner, Edgar Laprade and Bones Raleigh. The only Finn in the league was Rangers Pentti Lund.
