First one of the year. Take that, Jets.
Seatbelts on. Here we go.
————————————-
Boy, talking to some Devils people, they are really, really in a bind with their cap issue. Wonder if they’ll “invent” a long-term injury to somebody and take a chance on circumventing the cap again and getting slapped by the league. Doubt it.

from out of no where.. first?!
niiiiiiiice
Chico! Blaaah!
I knew I’d get carp’d! and it’s go time! short of winning the lottery, life is good!
anybody have a link to the game??
eh, it’s preseason…
Oh Baby!
atdhe.net. but the link isn’t working..yet…
from last thread, (abbreviated) thoughts on Biron v. hank starting tonight?
Joey, that is not a positive Ranger hockey first game of year attitude! Greg, Tony, help me!
GAME TIME!!
Link? Anyone? adthe.net doesn’t have the game up yet. GRR!
tomb… are you getting some chirping sound on hockeystreams?
haha sorry. I was referring to ORR saying that the announcer was chico.. I’ll better direct my comments for now on!
if Boyle’s really going to play tougher, he might have to fight better than that.
Wow. This is pre-season?!
AHA! Found it on channelsurfing! Rangers hockey!! OMG!!
lol Carp, the man was just asking me why he was shying away. I tried to say he was plotting strategy and getting leverage! GOOD ON MAIR GETTING EXTRA PENALTIES!!!!
ok, where’s the AASEN on the back of the jersey damnit!!
ah, got ya joey…
OHHHH BABY!!
Linda, they should put it on his assen…:)
and Gabby sets the stage for the year!!!!!
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
Stepan #1 baby. he is a great passer. i saw that in the world jr tourney too
SEXY!!!!!
btw, Torts has a plain black tie in a proper size and simple gray suit. Bodes well for us!!! Maybe he does read the blog!
Gaborik goal! Such pretty passing!!
whaaaa!? stepan already?! nice!
TIES FOR TORTS Laurel!!
Hey Mickey, hows life in St. Louis so far?
wow this chirping sound on hockeystreams is driving me nuts loL!
Aasen reminds me of that tiny guy in the NY lotto commercials…
Stepan is making the team. I’m calling it now!
And it looks like Boyle had some Cool Ranch Doritos before the game, cause he’s packing a flavoh explosion in his mout!
how good did Stepan look on that shift?
Linda, they should make it Zuccarello-Asshat.
Where’s Sally!!!
Linda, I think the chirping sound is Chico.
lmao Carpy! You’re great on the fly!!
REPOST..
#16 DAVE SILK!! how could you guys have forgotten our other Olympian???
lmfao nor…EUTHANIZE CHICO!!
Assman… Carp… Assman
>>ahem.. new post guys lol
Oops! Thanks, Linda.
By the way, does Fringe premiere tonight?
Is Stepan’s name pronounced Step-on? I’ve been saying Step-in.
I didn’t miss Joe, I’ll tell ya.
yes it does JB!! it’s a viewing bonanza for us tonight eh!?
Like a Step on garbage can?
i’d copyright that term Carp, but i stole it from Chris Y2J Jericho lol
nor… like step on my toe lol ;-)
Volchenkov is on my team in Carped for Life. Whoo hoo!
Yeah, JB, it’s on tonight!
Linda, it’s good so far. The movers finally came about 2 hours ago so I have boxes and stuff all over the place, but I stopped unpacking to watch the game. It’s also roastingly hot here. Thanks for asking :)
I want to see some Debbies get beat up. Where’s Prust and Boogaard? Start punching!!
lmao @ the quote book…they’ve been saying that the past 2 seasons, I’ll believe it when I see it
Mickey, central air is soo awesome in these hot/humid climates! I hope your new place has it!
like the gas pedal. Step on it !
>>...I’ll believe it when I see it
You’ll never see it.
I did miss Dave, he’s my hockey Yoda, lol.
Booo! Marky Marc Staal with the turnover.
Staal looked like Redden on that one.
lol pin, that’s jarring!
does boogie naturally have dark circles under his eyes lol
OK, how is Biron’s Marty going to be chanted differently than Brodeur’s when they both play? (maybe only tonight!)
btw, I notice how the noise is coming from the upper decks, not the hartnelling red seats who don’t show up.
I think Step’s in…..(ha!, get it?)
Glad someone is using my “pinhead” name!
Terrible turnover! With all this new cash Staal has come to, maybe he’s become too heavy to skate the puck out of the zone?
we stole it from Izzy, on Seinfeld.
i hope this chico thing is not a trend for the season. who the byfuglien wants to hear this asshat during a Rangers telecast?!
Boy, there’s a bunch of really young drunken asshats in Devils garb right next to the pressbox.
I was wondering that aboot Booger too. Maybe he punches himself in his sleep.
Linda, it does. That was a prequisite.
OK, so that line is awful defensively. Phew!
ORR, it’s kinda scary lol. he needs that hydrolize product they are always giving away!
Girardi is also practicing his kneeling quite early.
asshat.. lol. I’ve heard assclown, too. Describes some people perfectly.
“Head coach taking over the head job”
Haha, Sam is back on his game!
Carp didn’t say new post? Slacker….get to work dude!
Carp, ick on the drunken Dev asshats. Security!
JB, it’s never too early to perfect that manuver
next jerseys #24, #8 and #51 lol!!
I could have sworn McDonagh was a righty shot. Oh well. Also, he’s wearing Tytin’s old number.
Semenov… did he divorce the wife??
Holy Bageezus! This whole thread is filled with my two favorite posters – Laurelinda!
What’s the score?
Sorry but Semenov reminds me of … Malik
yea Staal, and the wife wears the pants in that family
1-1 Tim, don’t tell me you can’t watch!?
Haha, Sam and Joe keep acting as if it was Semenov’s decision, but they know it was all his wife. Even Sam said “his wife…......and he”
Semenov needs a shiny new pair of pants that he can wear to control his friggin family.
Yankees game on Laurelinda! Yankees take precedence :)
Can’t wipe the smile of Stepan’s face haha
Just checking in from NZ. Can’t see carcillo from here and you guys, as always, stink at commenting. It’s ok, I’ll watch it when I’m back home.
One thing I want to add- Avery should be playing on our team. Disagree with whoever said Prust can do the same. No, he can’t. Nobody can. It will take an effort on both Tort’s and Aves’ part to make it work, but it should be done.
See you all back in US. And LGR!!
Test
Haha, rookies always stay for the end of the interview instead of walking away.
Linda, she wears the hockey pants. ;)
Hey ilb!
ORR, I’m gonna take some shiney shoes to you…
are we having fun yet!
>>Test
Failed!
Hi ilb! excellent international post! we miss you!
It’s funny how they’re trying to avoid throwing Semenov’s wife under the bus …. it was all her fault – no one wants to play in the KHL
CR9 That’s a dangerous comment- nothing should take precedence over NYR.
Repost:
Gabby!!!!!
CR, bad choice!!! And I’m over the place and killing Carp at night cause, well, he knows….you all will just have to suffer :)
I’m having fun! I’m ready for a third slice of pie to calm me down!
I wish October came tomorrow!
Ok I will step out on a limb here and predict that Stepan and McDanough will make the team. There may be some growing pains but boy these kids are good. I only wish they could have convinced Kreider to make the jump as well. He is also real good.
Blah can’t watch the game on my comp. Guess I’ll do homework instead…
LGR!
Hey czechthemout,
thats not much of a limb, they’ve both been playing great
lol noremry!
Mama, your posts are like sunshine, and nobody suffers from too much figurative sunshine!
Sorry Staal wart-
Forgot to indicate sarcasm.
that was a great pass by Stepan also on that play to McDonagh moving into the slot from the blue line
Stepan is the real mccoy when it comes to passing
and McDonagh is a bruiser
Ha! I was gonna make a short limb comment too….:)
aww, Sally….:(
lets not get too excited about that McD check Tedenby is like 5’7 – 160 lb
czech, I agree, but I’ll feel better when they give them numbers like 20 something, not numbers in the 50’s.
Haha, yeah, I was aboot to say that the Devil was a midget.
haha czech!
It’s been a long week, at this point the only thing I know is funny is the Debbies salary cap issues.
Thanks for the sympathy, mama :)
Ha, Torts said “hump”
Thanks Torts!
sounds like Redden is headed to the Pack!
mom sounds awesome! wish i could go see her
Pnhead-
Stepan will wear 21. Mcd, I don’t know. He wore17 in college.
Redden doesn’t care, he’s going to be making millions playing for the wolf pack
Buh-bye, Rade Wedden!
Linda – Mom sounds awesome because she has an awesome daughter like u! :)
Good news Linda. Glad she’s on the mend.
Great news Linda!
you’re too kind CR!
I missed it, what did Torts say?
Staal, we can only hope lol
noremry,
he said Redden left for hartford on the 5pm bus
lighten martys load… so graphic
LMAO Staal, if only
Lighten Marty’s load, sick!
Saur got sour over the late hit after the puck went up over the glass.
did Joe just hand Chico his weiner??
I’m sensing a lot of hostility between Chico and Joe.
lmao somerset
maybe they can beach slap each other and be out for the season!
somerset, Joe’s waiting for his first interview with the ‘big bodied boogaard’ for that special moment
Lin, To “beach slap” I hope they don’t have to wear speedos, lol.
WHAT A MOVE!!!
P R E T T Y ! ! !
Nice!
Carp the blogs on fire tonight!
DIRTY !!!!
Frolov having quite a game
FROYO SCORES!
I think Marty’s load got just a tad lighter after that Frolov goal. 2-1.
You guys are cracking me up.
where in the blue hell is Mako… we need to be working on the nicknames for the new guys!!!
lmao JB, the load in his pants?
I would say his load got bigger after he crapped himself
Dublowsky has been very quiet. Is he jealous of Stepan, or Staal’s contract? Maybe both.
Frolov’s got a pair of hands, huh?
Tell you what: if he’s what he should be, the Rangers have a No. 1 line. Unlike last year. It’s not Pittsburgh’s or Washington’s. But it’s a No. 1 line, and that makes all the other lines better.
lmao ORR, put boogies contract in there too lol
Fuggin Fedetenko with an offensive zone penalty. Time to cut him!
Haha, that too!
look at this chemistry !!!!
It amazes me how accurately European players can pass on their backhand.
Froooo-low!
I ll take Zuccarello over Fedotenko.
fedetenko bounces right off of Twinkie the kid
Oh man. I go to make dinner and I missed Frolov’s goal. Goal- yaay!
I dont mind Feds taking a penalty crashing into Fatty
LGR! I am so out breath running from room to room….
Staal, I’m not surprised.
Mama, are you chasing the kitties or something? ;)
Mickey, that’s what intermission is for lol
Carp…just sayin…
Mama is doing Herbies.
i’d enjoy watching Stepan and McDonagh on a nightly basis from now until June!
playing as though there were 2 points up for grabs
BANJ-Herbie the Love Bug?
This game needs more “jam”
NOTHING DIRTY intended by my last comment by the way lol
>>This game needs more “jam”
I have my Skippy ready.
I have really been impressed with the play of Mike Sauer.
this game is great. it just needs less Chico. 3 is a crowd
lol Linda, thanks for the clarification, for a minute there I thought you were channeling Joe Mich.
noremry, skae from goal line to blue line, back to goal line to red line etc. Herb Brooks form of torture.
“NOTHING DIRTY intended by my last comment by the way lol”
Yeah, with comments aboot loads and hot dog weiners, you can see how some would make that mistake.
I should know that, I’ve seen Miracle enough times!
Dear Santa,
Mama would like a laptop (really an iPad) before Christmas so she can post on RR and watch Rangers at same time without tripping over kitties to do both.
Love, mama
P.S. She’d also really like Aves to be Ranger all year and play.
Kovalschmuck
What the hell was Girardi doing? He didn’t even try to do anything to stop Kovalchuckles.
Give him a slash at the very least.
game streaming here:
http://playaslounge.webs.com/rags2richestv.htm
awesome picture.
I don’t like that Kovalchuk guy. There’s something about his demeanour that I just don’t like.
Mamma,
Bought a Macbook Pro a few weeks ago…will never go back to pc…ever
Girardi and staal got caught sleeping. too wide. I agree, at least trip him and force him to take a penalty shot.
JB, is it the smugness?
I hate Macs.
Go Prust!!! In Prust we trust!
Linda,I had to dig for some pans and plates during intermission, that’s why I;m cooking now!
Now lets go Booger!
in Prust we trust
OOOH!!! OOOH!!!! CMON PRUST!!!!!!!!!!
I’ve only ever used macs…they rule. unlike smug Devils players.
>>Bought a Macbook Pro a few weeks ago…will never go back to pc…ever
Congratulations, Staal! Welcome to the Mac family.
I’m awaiting delivery on a 27” iMac and retiring a G5 PowerMac. I don’t want my current 15” MacBook Pro to feel too lonely.
Nice fight!
BOYLE!!!
Flavah!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Woo hoo!!!!!!!!!!!!
lol Mickey! I know what ya mean!
PRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRUST! hehehe
lance that Boyle
B B B BRIAN BOYLE!
Orr have you ever owned one?
I”m like 2 minutes behind you guys damnit!
haha Boyle
Christensen isn’t playing tonight, right?
Boyyyyyyyyyyyyyy-all!
WOW MY BOYFRIENDS ARE OWNING THIS PERIOD!!!!
“i’d enjoy watching Stepan and McDonagh on a nightly basis”
So would I, and my comment is intended to be dirty ;)
It looks like Marty is already in playoff form.
Lin, are you referring to Joe and Chico?
Staal, you can have my Mac.
Nor, you should know they are waaaaaay too old for me lol ;-)
playoff form? I thought he was in Cartman form
EC on the #1 line. what, Torts blaming Stepan already?
Staal, yeah, I had a Mac computer, and it pisses me off. PC is much simpler for downloading programs for stuff I buy.
I don’t like it at all! I don’t do much on my computer though. Just websites, downloading, etc.
According to Uncle Stevie Jobs, everything he makes is a “magical device”! lol
MESS!!!!
Carp really?
I’ve never owned anything but PC’s and laptops…endless updates, virus’s problems.
my mac just works…every time…so far anyway. no freezing, virus/security updates…nothing
Lol, I had no idea EC was playing. He’s putting on a Swayze Ghost performance. Maybe if puts on a Swayze Dirty Dancing performance, he’ll make the team.
1st line center? Pfff, yeah right!!
How are you doing Linda?! It’s been awhile….. Glad to be back for some Rangers hockey!
Orr, they called his name once or twice in the first.
Good to see ya back MESS! and Pimp too
Yeah…6 months of no Rangers hockey makes Mess a dull boy.
oooh lol ;-)
I haven’t really noticed a lot of updates on my laptop. I’ve had to deal with 3 or 4 wimpy viruses that were easy to kill. But, nothing major.
Sony Vaio FTW! Great for BluuuuRay!
Mess, way too long.
well, I’ve had the virus problems with my pc, no doubt. And that’s a pain in the aasen. but when they’re both up and running, I’ll take the pc. I really don’t like my mac … it also is company issued and has nothing good loaded on it.
Swayze Ghost…..I am Pareeseeing myself!
macs rule. all i’m gonna say. Carp, yours is, um, not yours right :)
Yeah… thanks to Joke-inen.
They’re giving away tickets to WWE between periods, on-ice contest. They might as well be giving away carcillo-salad sandwiches. What trash.
Orr, i forgot to give you praise for the swayze ghost comment! AWESOME!
carp, what I said…:)
Apple is pissing off a lot of companies again with their stance on several things. Android, baby!!!
Poor Swayze. Great actor, legendary. RIP
lmao at Orr’s Swayze’s ghost.
guys, shattenkirkheadzo sent me a pic from the VW event, of Nicky and disco duguay. I’ll post it up on the FB later
WWE? Gee, makes sense I guess not to give away tix to YOUR OWN SPORT AND TEAM!!
sorry for the yell…
methinks “swayze ghost” is officially part of the bonehead lexicon.. and where in the blue hell is TONY???
carcillo-salad. EWWW. You’re ruining my fancy dinner of grilled cheese and tomato soup, Carp.
i was just wondering if that was mark hoppus! LOL
Gordie Clark, pres of the Hair club for men
man, that looks like a dead squirrel on top of his forehead.
gordie clark has some volume to his hair…
LMFAO DG!!! hilarious!
I hate not being able to see the action!!!! Preseason baby , no need to get excited but WOW!!!!
YEAH man , we love it …you hate us …wese gonna win games!!!
RANGERSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!
there are women in new jersey and in the south who would kill for that hair height!
Linda, I agree.
Mickey, you have Fritos with that? It’s a must side. Love that meal.
Mess, I heard so many bad things about Droid. Went with Blackberry until Verizon finally hooks up with Apple next year.
LGR and RR!
Gordie could use some Just for Men. All he needs to do is ask Mex or Clyde for some free samples.
Carp you staying the whole game? I’m up in the 300s I’ll drop by to say hi.
mmmm grilled cheese and tomato soup! ya need some goldfish, premium crackers or oyster crackers with that!
So would I, Linda! lol
Mame, no fritos, but I do have vanilla vodka and coke. :)
dg, all i can hear in my head now is, “not only am i the president, i’m also a client…” thanks lol
Mickey, no play for mr. gray
Linda, people in the south and jersey have been killed by people with that hair height :) “excuse me ma’am…” Pow!
Premium crackers all the way, Linda.
lmao @ MESS
Swayze would play defense better than Dredden. That’s for sure!
Laurel, Gordies hair has its own ozone layer
LOL @ Mama!
>>Apple is pissing off a lot of companies again with their stance on several things…
You don’t sound like you know what you’re talking about.
CT, go to the box above the Zamboni entrance. I am jealous of you you bastage!
Mama, My gf & sister both have the Incredible – and it really is, it’s just a great phone. I bought the DroidX. I love it, but I think the Incredible is better.
But that’s just me though – I hate Apple and their closed stance on everything, no customization, etc., wanting total control over it, so I’ll never buy one.
lol @ you bastage! you’re feisty tonight!
JB.. 6 minutes to Fringe!
Actually I did Linda, used to play in a metal band years ago. Hair today, gone tomorrow…..
OMG, this intermission is taking FOREVER.
>>guys, shattenkirkheadzo sent me a pic from the VW event, of Nicky and disco duguay.
Ah, I stopped by during lunch. I did snap a couple of shots with the iPhone.
Let’s go…3rd period!
Go Ochocinco!
Mess, you’re a riot! ya need to show some pics of those metal days!
Blowzy still doesn’t shoot. Idiot!!
Rangers!!!!!!!!!
damn stream just froze up grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
It’s weird to see a PK without Cally being all over the place.
Dublowsky dublew that one.
effing dvr and cabledolanvision. Why can’t you dvr two shows while watching a third!!! just had to give up something to continue with the boys….no choice really, but now I see Thursdays will be a problem for me. Hulu anyone?
i’m finally able to watch a bit of the game rather than getting twitter updates.
but now i see that i need to download Veetle TV to watch.
is that safe to do?
Dubinsky….ClanK!
then again, I don’t have Lin’s problems….:)
Gordie Clark looks like Bernie Lomax from Weekend at Bernies
Dubinsky doesnt bury it and a too many men penalty?
ITS HOCKEY SEASON!!!
finally back, had to shut it down and restart… MID SEASON FORM
lmfao somerset!!!
okay. able to watch on the chanelsurfing.net
Is it just me, or does Dubi look bigger? I didn’t hear Joe comment on his size, but…
Bwaha, that’s why I download my tv shows, Mama.
Thursdays would be bad for me as well, but I just download them. Illegal to some, brilliant to me!
whats the score heads?
Wow, Leblonde is a wimp. And these refs are turning this game into a wimpy game.
bullcarcillo call against Boo.
That is one lameass call.
BoogieMan getes a 10.
what a joke!!!
(is that the first anti-ref comment of the year?)
3-2 Rangers grabs
3-2 grabs
ORR, explain to mama how
3-2 NYR, Grabby
Rozy’s been shooting …. Good to see
yes thanks guys. im kinda , uhh ahem, busy at the moment, wink. just checkin in and were winning! gonna watch later on h streams! later aasens!
why not give both players the misconduct…the bias against the Rangers starts already and Avery isn’t even playing
Can you imagine if it were Aves? he’d be out for the game :) asshat call.
Thats why Boogaard only had like 10 fights last year … everyone is afraid of the BOOGEYMAN
GO BOOOGAARD !!!! Oh wait , hes in the box …its pre season .No need to panick , when the time comes we will dress all our horses.
NCountry, great mind think alike :)
Grabs, wink, excuse me? Your priorities are off or I feel bad for her for sneaking off to check :)
Mama , ya need that link back in yer name. I can’t comment in the blog now!!
RANGERS!!!!!
Thanks for the compliment Blogmama
Mama, make an account on this site http://hdarena.org/hd-tv-shows/
When you see the show you want to download, click on it, and choose one of the file hosts to download from, like hotfile, megaupload, rapidshare, netload, etc. I use megaupload, but I pay $10 a month for it so I can have unlimited downloading.
If you don’t pay for it, you’ll only be able to download a certain amount of MBs.
lets go rangers!
Wonder if the Devs Gelinas is related to ex-Cane and Canuck Martin Gelinas.
O, god, Dancing Larry’s dancing. Does it ever end?
Leblonde refuses to fight Boogaard, then takes a run at the smallest guy on the ice while Boogaard sits in the box.
This guy shouldn’t parade himself as a goon.
is anyone else irritated that the Panguins get to take part in their second Winter Classic??
I can’t stand Dancing Buffoon Larry. Last game I went to, I was able to see him from where I sat. I lost my appetite.
Good game though.
Momma , dont believe him!!!! Sure sure ORR , we have seen your “fake links” numerous times. Ya up to yer old tricks and I would advise Momma NOT to click on it!!!
I’m pissed. It should be NYR. Let another team get the chance.
Stepan def looks better centering Gaborik & Frodo than EC
Frolov needs a sexier number than 31 … you know … something with a 9 in it or something
Fake links? Were you expecting a porn site? Haha.
It’s legit. You make a free account. Just have to make a name, password, and give you’re email, and that’s basically it. There’s a better site than that, but for some reason you can’t get to it here in America now. Shame.
dubi in mid-season form
thats a roller hockey move by Dubi
Greg, sorry, can’t link :(
ORR, um, I’ll take hulu for free thanks. I don’t miss that many shows and if I do, my life will still go on.
carp, he’ll have a great obit but it won’t end til then…
Booo, Parise!
aaaaHHH…soft goal
Really?
Rangers is mid-season form
My stomach is aboot to pop!
Parise? Think Jessiman. Then fire Sather….
Oh, Ocho.
No offense Chad, but why!!!! I want a win! pre-season or whatever! mental boost all…...oy.
I’m kind of bored with this game. First period was a lot better.
Johnson’s on the ice. I see significant shrinkage.
Gregggggggggggg – Ill carry the link my handle so you can click my name for it! Okie Dokie!
Stepan OT GOOOOOOOOAL!!!
Zuccarello in the shootout !!!!
OT in a preseason game is like the steak you were promised was excellent, but turns out to be disappointing.
Oh, this is gonna be a loooooong season :)
Can’t wait to read Carp’s take on tonight tomorrow…
PP Goal By Step-on!
I know its one game but I think Kennedy has also played well…so far a pleasant surprise.
awww god … Sauer is the most injury prone prospect ever
Get Kennedy off the PP!
You call this a steak? It’s got marks where the jockey was whipping it…
Mama
it’s just a meaningless game. Please dont take this game with anything other than a grain of salt. This doesnt mean ANYTHING for the regular season.
Gaborik wins it!!!
YO GABBA GABBA!!!!!
giddy up
SCOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
GABBBBBYYYY!!!!
Sick wrister…Gaborik!
He started it, and ended it. 4-3, in OT.
that’s who should be shooting, Gabby. kennedy has no shot at all from the point
woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Oh god! NYR still using that crappy Coldplay song as the win song.
GABBA GABBA HEY HEY HEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why do they keep showing the Parise play over and over
ORR, probably debut new stuff on opening night
DAT GABBY
mmmmmmmmmmmmmm flavaaaaah!
What Coldplay song???
You better not be dissing Viva la Vida, if that’s the song.
froyo with a star, not too shabby
TOO MANY DAMNED COMMERCIALS!!! wtf 5 minutes of show, 3 minutes of commercial!
Win and a stick salute. Life is so much better now. :)
it always feels good to beat da debbies, even in preseason
Hopefully the Coldplay song is Fix You.
At the end, Chico was sounding like he was talking about Fatso when he was going ad naseum about Parise.
Yup, Viva La Vida. They’re a decent group, but that song just annoys the shattenkirk out of me.
Viva La Vida is fine as a win song. It’s a quality song.
Orr – You idiot!!!! I love that song! That pumps me up!! Dont mess with my song! Got it?!!!
For me their 2 best songs are White Shadows and Moses.
I love the MSG/fans tradition of songs and chants after goals and wins etc… and here’s to the first stick salute!!!
great game by the boys gabby frolov and stepan looked great. Still need to tighten up in a lot of spots.
caught this fail by Frolov on the bench pretty funny
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Y3KAa7Vjd4
Gotta say that Stepan must start the season as #1 center. It’s key that him and McDonagh both make the team.
MickeyM…more great minds re: stick salute! I love that!!!
Guys, all they really play of that song is the wha ooo part. It’s cool. :)
FYI
We created the stick salute a few years back…. Then the Boston College hockey team stole our stick salute and were lauded by ESPN for “their” stick salute. True story.
CR, isnt the stick salute a European tradition that the Rangers started doing when Jagr was on the team?
if Christensen is the #1 center in game 1, then we will know that the talk about giving the kids a chance and earning a spot is just total bs by both coach and GM
No, Linda. it was kasparaitis who started the stick salute for the rangers
365 comments for a preseason game! NICE GOING EVERYONE!
he’s European isnt he lol ;-)
I like “A Message” and “Strawberry Swing”
That being said, Coldplay doesn’t belong in Hockey. Anything that was, or will be on the tv-show Glee should NOT be in Hockey!
Even Sweet Caroline. I liked it, but I didn’t like it when I started hearing it in other arenas in other sports.
They need something original!!!
you are right. I was just identifying the player who started the ranger stick salute. it was Kasparaitis’s idea to do it.
CR, did not know that. I know (or thought) the stick salute was a unique cool thing by the Rangers (I have a great pic of one in my house. it’s awesome.)
Here’s the only time I’ll agree with you on an anti-Boston rant :) As a BU grad, home to Mike Eruzione, BC is a hartneller for ripping that off and stealing credit!
Hockey is Back! And so are the Boston Conspiracies…
YES!! Blogmama has agreed with me!!! WOOOHOOOO!
Seriously, Linda. We started the stick-salute post lockout.
And to be fair and completely honest, Mama, Boston College ripped us off and started doing it, but they didnt steal the credit for it.
It was ESPN that gave them the credit. And we all know what ESPN is. Everything Sox Patriots Network!
Hugo –
Come on Man. That’s not a conspiracy. That’s actually the truth. That’s what happened. I show you respect, Id appreciate the same respect in return.
I swear to God, no matter what I say, I get questioned and have it attributed to my Boston conspiracies/paranoia.
If you cant even believe something that actually happened, then why do i even bother posting here…
now im angry, adios til the regular season.
Bless Kasparaitis then. Seriously, who has the real history behind he stick salute? I should know, but don’t :( since I love it so much. Bad mama!
Good night tonight. Not perfect, but I love a win! Welcome to the NHL Stepan! (btw, it’s Step-ahn. Not Step-on. Small but significant difference)
So Who Cares?
Besides you…
Hugo – I care. We started something special and unique. They ripped us off and then they got the credit for it in the media. How can you not care????? I thought I had earned just a bit of respect, but I thought wrong…
I’m glad Pee Wee didn’t score tonight. I’d rather the Devils win than have him put up any points.
I just don’t want that fuggin guy on the team unless it’s on the 3rd or 4th line.
Step-On all the way!
I’m anxious to see Artie though. I’m expecting improvement!
A lot of teams have started doing the stick salute. Why is it only a Boston team gets mentioned/blamed/called out?
Because ESPN lauded them for it, and didnt laud any other team for it. Let’s just drop it. I was just giving an FYI for those that didnt know the history of the stick of the salute. It’s over. Good night!
CR, come on, down boy :) No conspiracies all, BC is asshat and BU rules…Beanpot anyone? Only one of the best collegiate hockey tourneys ever!
Aww jeez guys, it’s only the first preseason game, can’t we wait until game 10 to start bickering amongst ourselves?
Sweet game! Garden had some spirit for a pre-season game.
Didn’t get to stop by to see Carp, I will next time.
Gaborik for 50 this year?
There is probably a European conspiracy theorist out there complaining that the Rangers stole THEIR stick salute…
OY, it is gonna be along season. Day One and you’re all fighting more than Boogy….chill, have love, or Frolov…whichever…:) I had a great night!
TA!
MickeyM, great minds again :)
Beergaarden got 10 minutes for not fighting…
Ha! Frolov. Good one, Mama!
Did someone mention beer?
Olga, that was bad call, you know it. wicky (where you been tonight anyway?) this third wicky is for you :)
The Folks family is in the house…so time for me to say final TA! OY, I’ll catch up on you folks and all tomorrow.
LGR!!
I know the call was bad, Mama.
Mother says, well, you know what Mother says, don’t you? :)
new post.
Great game tonight! I was hoping to see a shootout in person since it’s preseason and it doesn’t matter, but the Gaborik goal was nice. I guess the Rangers didn’t rearrange the three stars after the game was over because Gaborik was not one of them. It was Boyle, Parise, and Frolov.
I got to watch the game in a suite with my dad because somebody from the Rangers called him to see if his company would be interested in buying into one of the new suites that will open in 2013 after the renovation, and they look pretty cool. To the left, before you get into the Garden, they have two mock suites set up.
They are marketing the standing area as similar to your living room with two flatscreens in it and a “cozy” atmosphere. They are making new suites lower to the ice (top of the 100 level, I think), taking out some of the regular seats around there, I guess. Those will run you $500,000 to $1 million per year. They are also gonna add some cool suites at the bottom of the seating area, where you walk up from the food area to seats at ice-level. You can pay $1,000,000 to $1,500,000 for those per year. However, it sounds like you (mostly companies obviously) will have ownership for any event at the Garden. They will also be adding “bridges” around the top of the arena, in from the sides above the 400s. This will be pretty strange to look at, but I guess it could be cool.
It sounds like the seating capacity will rise overall, even though they are taking out some of the regular seating for new suites. And the work is being done in the summer, so the Liberty will be playing in Newark.
As for the game, no Rangers played particularly badly in my mind, except for Fedotenko running over Brodeur for no reason. I noticed MZA making plays on the backcheck a couple times, and Rozsival played a solid game. Biron made a couple great saves, and Brodeur did not look sharp. Great passing by Stepan and Frolov for that first PPG. That was a BS call for a misconduct on Boogaard, since he and the Devil were both shoving. I’m hoping to see a little less of Kennedy and Fedotenko, especially since this game had a lot of regulars in it.
