So, to sum up the Leastern playoffs:
No. 1 Washington is in a Game 7 tomorrow against lowly Montreal.
No. 2 New Jersey is out.
No. 3 Buffalo is out.
No. 4 Pittsburgh—which happens to be the defending Stanley Cup champion—is in the next round.
No. 9 Rangers are playing golf, and have been for weeks (I actually saw Vinny Prospal on a practice green last week).
In other words, pending Game 7, Pittsburgh could be the highest seed remaining in the next round, and the other conference semi could then feature the No. 6 (Boston) vs. No. 7 (Philly) teams, with No. 6 having home-ice.
Though I expect Washington to get it together and win Game 7 at home.
————————————-
Tonight is Game 7 in the West, Detroit at Phoenix, 9 p.m. Even coming down the homestretch, everybody thought these were the two most interesting teams in the tournament, the Red Wings—the dynasty of the last two decades, and finalists in each of the last two years—the dangerous low-seed nobody wanted to face; the Desert Dogs the Cinderellas rising like a phoenix from the ashes, or Glendale, or more exactly out of nowhere. Let’s see how Versus messes this up.

A lot of you have asked about the links below the posts. Here’s the answer:
I have no idea. Nobody tells me anything.
I’m guessing we’re still trying—like everybody else—to figure out how to make enough money to stay afloat with our web product. But your guess is as good as mine at this point. And you’re making as much money off this as I am.

NOON UPDATE, 12 P.M. (duh): This from the NHL:
The Red Wings will be playing the 21st Game 7 in franchise history (12-8). The club is in quest of its first road victory in a Game 7 since a 4-2 win over the Chicago Blackhawks to clinch their semifinal series on April 9, 1964. Owning home-ice advantage in the majority of the series they have contested in the intervening years, the Red Wings have traveled for a series-decider just twice since then, losing at Toronto in the 1964 Stanley Cup Final and at St. Louis in a 1991 first-round series. The Red Wings have played each of their last seven Game 7s at Joe Louis Arena, posting a 4-3 record.
Overall, 129 playoff series have gone to seven games since the NHL introduced the best-of-seven format in 1939. The home team has won 80 (.620 percentage).

First!!
I went to the Dr to follow up on my knee. I’m not doing as well as I thought I would be after 3 weeks. I’m still limping & the pain is still there. I told the DR that Vinny Prospal of the NY Rangers had the same operation & he was back on the ice in 3 weeks.
His response : “you’re no Vinny Prospal ” !
Neither Washington or Detroit looked great during game 6. I wouldn’t be able to predict either. But it will be some great hockey.
Very interesting to see the bottom of the Leastern conference taking care of business. I think the stretch run plays heavy into this when teams like the flyers, habs, and bruins were already in playoff mode for a month before the playoffs began…..so when we were all here saying the season is done and the caps will beat us in 4 blahblahblah you just gotta get into the dance and then you really never know what happens….if halak stands on his head for 60 more min the cup favorite could be gonzo just like that…
Hockey Night in NY should be interesting as all the teams in NY are now officially GOLFING….
Lots of good playoff hockey going on, too bad our Rangers are not part of it. But ya gotta be cheering for the Yotes !
I’m sorry Tony, I know it sounds mean but I am cracking up over your doctor’s punchline.
Im rooting for the Coyotes
But if the Red Wings beat them, Im rooting for them to go the distance in the west.
To be honest, as long as Crapsburgh gets knocked out I will be happy
Hate cindy crydiver almost as much as tomato faced Sather
Tony, it takes time. Aren’t you glad you’re not Vinny anyway?
Great work on the previous post CT.
I know I’m probably in the minority here, but wow, a huge guy on the blue line like Shea Weber would be sooo nice. (6’4” 234)
Wicky, would he qualify?
Wow CTB. You took 1000 words and a lot of research to say: the better your goal differential, the more likely you are to win the Cup.
Not exactly groundbreaking news. Score a lot more goals than you let in and you will hve success. Wow. I’m shocked. I thought it was the opposite.
Be nice, Doodie :)
Good morning, Carp!
Eklund on Sather siuatuion: Take with a grain of salt
The Glen Sather situation..
I am told is all is dependent on what Mark Messier wants to do. How much responsibility he feels he is ready for. I don’t get a sense Messier is ready to be the sole GM of a team as of yet. Mark knows there are many aspects of the job he doesn’t know much about at all. I keep hearing more and more the Rangers are preparing to move Sather to a new position and bring in Risebrough to be the GM, perhaps with Messier as an assistant GM or maybe even Co-Gm.
The Rangers may even take a page out of the hated enemy’s book and have a “management committee.”
more to come…
>>Hockey Night in NY should be interesting
Do you guys actually watch that train wreck? They couldn’t even come up with an original name for the show.
Good morning, Sally!
Tony, you could have had two retorts:
1) Well, you’re no Michal Rozsival … or
2) The Jerk Store called …
Good work, CTB.
from the previous post: morning mike :)
Doodie, skip over it if you don’t like the analysis. Most of the people appreciated it.
Seriously, you don’t have to be a smug SOB about it.
Tony, lol at the doc’s response. Gotta give him props for honesty at least.
Oh and Carp, I cracked up at your ‘No one tells me anything’ line. Seems like the story of my life sometimes ;)
It’s good to see this town going Hockey Crazy. I hope the Yotes win for the sake of hockey in AZ. And I hope the Pens lose for the sake of hockey in general !
It’s not only a matter of who ends up where, or what they do within their own systems that is a total answer to the difference in quality of a team’s performance for it’s fans, but a very close feature is the overall quality of performance. A team that shuffles and holds and grabs as much as they can without a PP against them is not much of a team to feel is a quality product on ice. Boring to death for one thing, and sloppy style, but blundering to enough wins to eke in to the finals is not my particular sense of being a major league team.
I’d as soon as watch curling.
Those teams last night were breathtaking in their individual skills from goal on out, and the was a real joy to see what this game can look like when you don’t stock a team full of hi priced lords who know all the tricks of staying alive without exerting themselves over much.
linda
hamhuis is a ufa
http://predators.nhl.com/club/player.htm?id=8469465
i believe michalek is a ufa as well.
volchenkov is going to demand 5mil a season. and hell get it somewhere.
but it all starts with moving a big contract.
I like him too TR!!
Weber signed his deal in 2008 and it’s a 3 year contract, so i’m guessing if he’s not signed he hits the market next summer?
I believe we have 64 days until July 1. Hopefully SOMEONE is thinking about attempting to do “something” with one of our existing big contracts!
Fran, as exciting as watching the Western games has been, it’s depressing realizing how far away the Rangers are from that type of cohesiveness. One day though!
Hamhuis stapled Big Buf pretty well last night.
please dear lord, allow the capitals to win Game 7. if not for the capitals, for my health.
holy carp ilb, that was a freakin nifty hit he put on him!
That should make the next round much more interesting:
http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=319659
Good afternoon all! Hang in there Tony, you may be no Vinny but then again, be glad you’re no carcillo either :)
Seth, just goes to prove that the playoffs (if you make it!) are a whole different dance than regular season….
Lou Lam is so full of crap. he is on nhl live trying to claim that they need to change the rules back. he wants that of course so that his crappy team can go back to clutching, grabbing, trapping. they are losers bigtime now that real hockey is played, so the LAM-maire crap that they have bee ruining the league with for years has to be re-instated accdg to Lou the LOSER.
No offense, but maybe this site would make more money if it had advertisers who weren’t charities. Unicef? Really? Is LoHud squeezing every penny out of them?
Chris, you are wrong about that. I’ll leave it at that.
what a joke. ugh. savard will be back. oh well, with him, they were lower scoring than us. hopefully, his brains wont be fully functional, and he’ll hurt their chances.
on the Lam- Lou is one of the better GMs in the league. If we had him instead of Mr. Einstein for the last 10 years, we would be having a totally different conversation today.
Most level-headed people are hoping Savard comes back healthy and fine.
Some of us are even hoping the Bruins win.
he is a disgrace for suggesting that they need to go back to the old rules simply because his team can’t win any other way. ever since the game was opened up, they have gone out like wimps in round 1. and you can bet that he is listening to fatso Brodeur about that. he is one of the players who has been most outspoken, who quit the rules committee because he wants it his way.
Wow, iDoodie took 54 words to say “I’m a jerk.”
Not exactly groundbreaking news there either.
Carp if the blog needs more money I can get you a job interview with my buddy who’s a bra salesman. Do you know what they’re made of? do you know the sizes?
Of the playoff teams, I wouldnt mind one bit seeing any of these guys in Ranger Blue…Volchenkov, Toni Lydman or Hank Tallinder, M.A. Bergeron, Dan Hamhuis and Paul Martin. Offensively; Kovalchuk, Marleau, Frolov, maybe Plekanec or Lombardi. All UFA. The gems out there are all Restricted though; Backstrom, Fleischmann, Pavelski, Setoguchi, Wolski, Hjalmarsson, Chris Stewart, Kyle Quincy, Pouliot, Pat Hornqvist.
and im a level-headed person who hopes his presence hurts them. i wonder if most level-headed people were upset that boychuck intentionally took out vanek, the sabres’ best scorer.
My brackets are busted :(
But I still got Coyotes in 7! GO PHOENIX!!
And Canadians… screw the Caps!
hope that Doan can play tonight. he deserves it after being the classy Jet-Coyote since the inception back in Winnipeg.
Did anybody have the Caps & Habs going to 7? Anybody have the Habs winning (still verrrrrry long odds)?
lmao i had the Caps in 5, and the Yotes in 6
Last i saw Tkachuk, he looked like he needed a bro. Along with teeth, obviously.
no, level-headed people are never happy whenever anybody gets hurt.
James, yeah, I know about the cups.
oh i didn’t have the Canadians in 7 i just want them to win!
“no, level-headed people are never happy whenever anybody gets hurt.”
I have to admit I liked watching Cooke get KO’d by Evander Kane. Almost as much as I Cooke him bouncing up to his feet with a big smile when the stretcher came out.
^almost as much as i liked watching cooke bounce to his feet (long day)
never said i was happy to see him get hurt. i said i want his presence to hurt their team.
Did anyone hear the George Costanza hit a 14 year old kid riding his bike with his car?
Nobody got hurt.
boston fans get excited when yankees players get hurt. you are right. they are not level-headed.
Carp ya got the a….the b…
James … that’s the biggest.
CONTEST UPDATE: I did a quick scan of all the picks in the first round, and with two series still to be decided, only one Bonehead still has a chance to go 8 for 8. That’s an unofficial tally. Most missed on Devils-Flyers and Sabres-Bruins (I was one of the few who got the B’s right!).
no, CR, you’ve made it very clear that you are happy he was hurt and you still hope his brains are scrambled. And for that you sound like an idiot. Again.
James, don’t forget your manzierre…..
i love all the seinfeld references on here all the time…wasnt there a poster who used the name, serenity now?
yeah, and one of my favorite posters: “I was in the pool”
lol, i was in the pool. shrinkage!
when did georgie hit a biker? i dont remember that
“That’s an unofficial tally.”
I thought that was the phrase Beninati used when a goal was under video review?
Today or yesterday. In real life. He wasn’t drinking, or going over the speed limit. Must have been a minor bump. He stayed with the kid until the “amberlamps” came, but he wasn’t hurt.
amber lamps

Ok, so I was coming back from a trip to the dentist (UGH, but anyways) and the car in front of me had ‘Wicky 1’ as their license plate. Needless to say, I cracked up, wondering if he’d made it all the way to upstate NY. :)

and a casino….
backstrom is an rfa? wow. i just might step off my kovy bandwagon and say throw the farm at him. but no big name rfa’s ever change teams.
Linda – interesting… Not sure where the Shinnecock Nation is in Nassau County, however. They are in Suffolk, but it wouldn’t be up to Nassau County Executive Mangano to build something in Suffolk County.
Well, it is the NY Post… :o)
The Craps would never let Backstrom walk.
are the Shinnecock tied into ONLY Suffolk County LI? You are right in that the Nassau County executive would have NO say in what goes up in Suffolk, which leads me to believe the Shinnecock are covered in BOTH counties. Going to be interesting to see how this plays out, and how the surrounding community is going to welcome a casino.
UPDATE: Linda – just saw the story on newsday.com; they’re actually talking about bringing a resort and casino to the existing site where the Coliseum is now.
I guess the Lighthouse project is no match for casinos – another way for Nassau County to rip off everyone…
lmao LI, the community was ambivalent with the Lighthouse project, how are they going to feel about a Casino going up???? LMAO!! they are seriously also going to have to consider much better public transportation.
Linda – it is truly amazing. One of the items that Wang was nailed on by NC was his lack of a transportation plan because of the congestion that would result from building up the area. It would be ridiculous with a resort / casino. And, as you point out, I can only imagine what the community thinks about this one. Unbelievable…
I wonder if Jason Alexander’s recent Jenny Craig diet prohibited any real damage in the accident.
LI, they’ll all be on line to get applications to work in the Casino!
Funny post Jason!!
LI,just think of it, tour busses from queens to the casino! And they got the Marriott right there for high rollers lol
I’m kinda of anti-faux nix.. but i love rooting for the underdog. But in this case are they the underdog ?
Pictures of Michael Del Zotto and a Victoria Secret Model together and Oksana Baiul ???

This just in, Jagr is coming back to the NHL to play for the Islanders in their new casino rink! Ugh, that’s the best I got. Anyways, desperate times call for desperate measures…
slot machines for each seat, this way when the team sucks, you can try to win some bucks!
Linda – ROTFL !!! I can just picture it – the massive hoards treking along Hempstead Turnpike towards the mecca that is the Coliseum. Hahaha…
That’s the team’s new tag line – “When the team sucks, you can win some bucks!” You should go into marketing / advertising, Linda.
that place will be overrun with guido and gangsta wannabes!
Isles slogan
“we’re owned by a crackpot, so come win a jackpot”
lmao too many possibilities Isle!!
LI, i wonder if they can get the smoking lady to be in one of their ads
“Uniondale. The Atlantic City of Long Island. Except without the beach and more traffic…”
I want to know if the Shinnecock get a vested interest in the hockey team lol!
Del Z needs to bring a Victoria’s Secret model to the Garden. Aves isn’t getting the job done, and Hank is long gone.

i think the girl in the final pic on Mouths link was MDZ’s girlfriend when he was drafted. I know I’d seen that picture about a year ago, pretty girl too.
Hilary is cute, but she’s a no-name. Aves went from semi-big names to a no-name.
It was better when Cuth was at the Garden. She brought out his best hockey.
a no name?
wow
she is the face of estee lauder
What the hell is that? Perfume?
She’s a no-name to me. I’ve never even heard of her until Mouth mentioned her a while back.
If only one of the guys got Miranda Kerr. Damn Legolas. His Elven charm just can’t be matched.
WOW lmao
TR, next time you’re at W77 with mama, that Molson will be “accidentally” spilled all over you. lol
LMAO at casino in Suffolk! That should be well accepted by locals. Imagine how that will impact already shaky house values? I’ll tell you, I admire Wang for what he does with SmileTrain, but otherwise, he should really stick to software.
orr
not for nothing if you dont know the name of a multi-million dollar company its time to get out of the house.
she is “blowin up” in the fashion world. like i said she is the face of a major business. shes gettin press like crazy over the last year.

Makeup?? Skin care?? Fragrance?? Moisturizer??
This isn’t something that I must know of.
I don’t even shop for that stuff for lady friends, sisters, mother, gay friends, etc.

Hobbies??? Yeah but they involve hockey Ilb!!! Well not all of ‘em so ill be ok. Game eighty two Ilb , how can this happen?? Flyers were crushed. That game was ours. We had all the momentum.Its really not fair at all. I wanna puke.
I just don’t pay attention to things that I don’t like. I appreciate makeup, but it’s not something i pay attention to.
GREG
I’m a pretty clutch eater, i don’t spill my food, i don’t breathe heavy, and stare into the distance without blinking my eyes, and don’t make weird grunts. So, I’m comfortable eating in front of women.
DEEP BREATHE and walk away….this site kinda hurts at times like this but always seems to make me feel better. Honestly if it wasn’t for this blog , Id gone nutz already.
Next time yer eatting with a woman you like ,,watch her ORR …shes looking at you and thinking ” why does he eat like that?” Why does he always say little stuiped words???She is looking at everything you do…studing ,examining,judging and think odd stuff thats she too afaid to ask.
SPORTS CENTER TOP TEN said something about MATTAEUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!! whooohooooo Matteau!!!!!
Aright baby!!!!
Orr
Thanks for the Alexander story! Funny stuff!
On another note, what’s wrong with makeup? Im very familiar with makeup, guyliner, etc. Gotta look my best!!
Almay Smart Shade works wonders!
If only God would give me some clear sign! Like making a large deposit in my name at a Swiss bank.
Finding Noahs Ark (again) not sign enough for ya lol ;-)
Why hasn’t Sather been fired yet????
Cancel Cablevision if you have it.
F-Dolan!!!!
lmao @ the FIRE SATHER apron, the FATSO 30 shirt and the Diver 8.7 shirt!!!
I don’t have a problem eating with girls. I’ve mastered the art of eating, and staring into a girls eyes and listening to her talk aboot something i don’t even understand, and pretend i know exactly what she’s talking aboot.
It’s an art.
What’s the scoop on VS tonight? Edzo?
Go Phoenix!
GO YOTES!!!!
FIRE SATHER!!!!
Isn’t it unusual to see Detroit play game 7 not on their home ice?
I’m actually excited for this game! Go Coyotes
Pruuuuuu hits Franzen
Bryzgalov is pulling a Halak thus far.
wow hanzal just left the box and he looked like he was skating in mud. he looked like cool ranch out there
Well, they better stay away from the box

Yotes look a bit timid..
Poor Lappy. He’s better off just going with the birdcage fir the rest of his career.
And the Craps got lucky. Losing Poti means they’ll win game 7 for sure.
‘duncical’ wow, is that even in the dictionary???
it is!! i’ve never heard that word used before. ya learn something new every day
Wings 1-0
Yup. Too much firepower.
2-0, game over.
Brilliant goal!
yotes suck. cmon guys youre at home in game 7!! you’d think they would act like they have to win!!
Dva-tsyuk! :P
Well, hopefully the Hawks can go all the way, cause none of my West teams have made it other than them.
Yotes back in it. 2-1!
Thats a Gretzky like goal!
to explain my previous comment…”Dva” in Russian means two…Dva-tsyuk. :)
if only gabby could deke and score a goal like datsyuk. hed be a 50 goal scorer and we’d be in the playoffs. all his fault. we need to trade gabby and hank immediately
Let’s go yotes!!!
mad action!!!
Trade Gaborik for Parise…straight up!
damn some great action!! they wouldve scored on hank already. if only we had traded hank to teh yotes and got bruuzgollop. and maybe we couldve got that prucha kid. maybe just maybe we’d wee in teh plqayoffs
Detroit gets away with a lot of holding
not necessarily that play though
damnit, i can’t watch this game because once i put it on the wings scored twice, i changed it, the yotes scored, i just put it back and the wings scored again! DAMNIT
Aucoin in the box for two goals against
wow yotes are just crap tonight. i know the wings are experienced but jeez they are letting the wings just rape their goalie
Ugh. This looks all too familiar
they cant even accept a pass. is this teh baby rangers were watching?
couldnt have said it better myself mr scum
man i wish sather had good trade relations with teh yotes. they have some dazzling young talent
sharks-wings. now thats gonna be good. i do not miss ranger hockey at all right now.
Nice to turn on the Wings game and see Wingies up 3-1!
Come on Phoenix! There’s time left.
Linda- FIRE SATHER!!!! Sorry, I’ve been watching the game…
ohh crafty move henrik.
every time i put it on the wings score
no worries Olga, i knew you were busy
FIRE SATHER!!!!
that was the yotes chance. do not see them coming back from down 2.
make that 3
SCOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!
WINGIES!!!
This is fuggin sad. I’m sick of these BS Game 7’s. This is almost as bad as the Craps vs Pens game 7 from last year.
ouch
That one’s going to leave a mark. 4-1 Detroit.
Man. Just tryna do too much out there, you can tell Detroit has been here many times before.
look at the slow skating of teh yotes player. he thought maybe time would run out. pathetic to play a game 7 like this at home. good thing the ranger fans who go to home games dont have to watch half ass efforts and losses
almost as bad as watching human scum bruin ray bourque win teh cup in slo mo for teh hundredth time. ughh im gonna puke all over my redden jersey
Hey don’t lose faith yet, it’s hockey and anything can happen. Let’s hope we are about to witness magic, cos that’s what it’s gonna take.

.......
EXTREMELY well said!
I do not miss the misery of being glued to the television while the Rangers play completely uninterested hockey.
oh i really dont care if yotes lose. i dont have money on it. im just being sarcastically sarcastic. like edzo said. i honestly dont care who wins. teh cup either. if wee aint in it, i dont get any satisfaction from which teams win or lose. just love the game itself. i just dont like watching a game 7 where one team is in low gear. i wanna see both teams giving it their all. yotes just disappoint with their performance.
yes true. i am lovin the way all teh teams have played so far in these playoffs. i hope teh rangers are watching. taking notes and i hope more than a few of them are pissed.
pissed? they should be embarrassed!
honestly guys, when i type fast, “the” comes out “teh”. forgive me. it is annoying for me to try to read my own posts. let alone u guys
linda, with craptain crunk at the helm, they will never feel shame. not after his super clutch performance against one of the best teams in the world winning us the victoria cup. mettal-turd magneto-corpse. did u se him yell at dan fritsche that game? boy, he was a leader that day. and as far as im concerned, we won something while he was our cap’n.
Oof, this game hurts. I don’t dislike the Wings just tired of them already. Imagine if we had a team to root for who could be so consistently consistent? Maybe we’ll get lucky in a few years if a majority of these kids pan out.
I got so bored of the late 90s feuds between Wings/Dallas/Avs and occasionally the Devils. Always wanted the Sharks to win a Cup.
As for the Coyotes; what so you expect when you have a PP QB’d by Captain Mediocre Morris and Schneider who is 800 years old?
ulfie!!!!
Ok ok someone lit a fire.
Olga- hey your name ain’t much better! =P
scary thing is, cap’n crust has gotten Cally almost totally brainwashed. Oy When 24 starts gliding, that’s gonna be it for me.
cmon pru!!1 u know your not gonna score unless your laying on your back!! consistency petr.
linda, the way they talked about dru n cally during teh olympics, it seemed like he was his son or something. i dont have a problem with cally modeling soem of his game after drurys. certainly drury is a great pk’er, shot blocker,uhhh pk’er, shot blocker. did i mention he was a great shot blocker yet? anyway, in all seriousness, he can learn some good things from drury. most importantly, getting sather drunk and take naked pics of him in a tutu getting spanked by cr9, then getting paid an extra 7.5 million to block shots. did i mention he blocks shots?
“Olga- hey your name ain’t much better! =P”
I’ve tried changing it, like now, but it doesn’t seem to be any better…
well…NOW it’s over.
Ridiculous.
(singing) Turn out the lights- the party’s over….
WINGIES!!! Class!!!
Zetterberg is my non Rangers PBF (Pretend BoyFriend)!!!!
Grabby, I am a bit confused. Does he block shots or not?
if only the yotes had a clutch faceoff guy in their lineup im willing to bet they win more faceoffs.
well, linda, i might have been a bit cryptic trying to convey captain clutchs awesoem skills. but, yes, for teh record, he blocks shots. kinda like how cr9 blocks…..
No NAMBLA meeting tonight? Or did you run out of lollipops for the little boys?
this is one of the worst game 7’s ive seen in awhile
u know, when dru goes down on one knee. u know whats coming!! lol. a shot block!! and when cr9 gets down on his knees, you know whats coming!!
cr9 i thought lundy was your bf? and jags. are u cheating on jaro? you better not break his heart. straka will come after you boy!!
ouch… this is painful
6-1 We need a mercy killing now.
wow very well placed shot. love those types of goals. but damn yotes. u guys quit on yourselves. hugo lesson to be learned tonight.
Detroit’s playoff experience bubbles up in a game seven. Phoenix just couldn’t go from doormat to the penthouse in one season.
thanks for clearing that up Grabby! ;-)
yotes are just smackin the puck around like we did in grade school. with the mini traffic cones as goals and little red n blue plastic sticks.
im bored tonight linda. kinda depressed. things are just real screwed up for me right now
grabby, that does not sound good. is everything ok with your lil girl and your family?
good for the fans. love when they show support when the teams down. even as much as we boo the rangers, we show them the same support after a good season
linda, yea, everythings cool with the fam. thanks. i’ll tell ya later.
haha the baby rangers indeed. prucha mustve brought teh stick salute with him!! i love that little rascal!
Mike
Get CR’s phone number… i bet he’ll keep you entertained for hours with his “Forensic files” stories
lmao I just had forensic files on
CCCP you’re just outstandingly outstanding today
good to know the fam is ok grabby! just hope you are!
Thank you, Linda!
Chicago vs. Vancouver should be great series! I’m rooting for ‘Nucks.
Come mere Grabby and give me a BIG Cr9 KISS!!!!!
have a good night boneheads!
i dont get why they have to interview a player who can barely speak english. he basically just repeated what the girl said. like she even knows what the hell hockey is.
Good Night ,Sleep tight and don’t let CCCP bite!!
Greg

ILB
thhpppttt!!!!
Game fricking EIGHTY TWO!!! Man , thats hard to take .
We lost in a shoot out on the last day.
This will go down as the closest to being in the playoffs but not making it. This was history and If we were smart , we would protest!!!
PROTEST that the shoot out is for idiots. Say that the Rangers were robbed. Any team that loses in GAME 82 in a shoot out!??? whaaaa??
THAT GAME SHOULD HAVE BEEN CONTINUOS OVERTIME.
I say starting at game 80 , ALL GAME must be continuos OT and no shoot outs anymore.
YO Wicky!! Im fine if it wasn’t for that lame shoot out!!!
zzzzz
that gimmick just sucks arse!!
Carp,
Hope you don’t think I was attacking Unicef, or charities in general, or suggesting they get squeezed. I only meant it would be easier to squeeze CCM or Budweiser.
Keep it down. I’m trying to go to sleep.
me and jaromir/LQ have an understanding. I am allowed 1 non Ranger Pretend Boyfriend. And LQ likes Zetts because they share the same beeeeeeautiful name!
WAKE UP, ORR!!!!!
Good morning, boneheads!
Can someone tell why Nick Lidstrom isn’t on the list of nominees for Norris this year again? ‘Cause he is 40?
Well, he took the game over. They couldn’t score on Bryzgalov, they were dominating, but couldn’t score. So he took the puck, surveyed the situation, skated slowly behind the net and set up Datsyuk for the first goal. Game over. He added one on his own, but the team already knew they could score on Ilya.
And also, can you name one d-man in Eastern Conference who is better this year than Lidstrom? And please, don’t bring up Mike Green’s name…
Morning all.
Man, the Wings schooled the Yotes in how to play a Game 7. All that experience came through big time. It was a heck of a ride for the Yotes though.
ilb, Lidstrom has always been one of my favorite non-Rangers. Guy is just amazingly amazing.
anyone see this? The guy should be fired for asking that question.

Would love to be a fly on the wall at NYR “brass” meetings in LaQuinta this week. Maybe Torts and Slats will duke it oooot.
Mickey – wow, that is totally unbelievable… I don’t care whether or not Bill Parcells creates an atmosphere of arrogance, or whatever the writer called it, the Dolphin’s GM Ireland should be canned for a remark like that.
leetch, Steel Cage match with Schoney as the ref. And Sullivan coming from out back to bash Slats in the heads with a folding chair.
LI, it’s SO over the line that it’s not funny. Ok, yeah, Bryant’s had his own legal issues and apparently his Mom served 18 months on a drug charge, but still, that question should NEVER have even come into Ireland’s mind. Gotta give kudos to Bryant for not punching him in the face. Forget that it was a job interview, no one has a right to say that, it’s just wrong on all levels.
Doesn’t everyone LOVE how the entire NHl, Local and NAtional NEwspapers, Canadian newspapers, hell even the world agree that Glen Sather should be fired yet Dolan does absolutely NOTHING!!
It really just makes me sick.
They could make one of the equipment guys GM and I’d be happier than having the Tomato Faced one at the helm of our organization
It’s just a joke and I get more upset about it every year
Fire Sather
Fire Sather
Fire Sather
Fire Sather
And the Red Wings are goign to beat the sharks, mark my words

FIRE SATHER!!!! good morning olga, wherever you are lol
