Repost for mama:
Orr, haven’t seen the new Elm Street yet. Doesn’t sound like it’s worth a watch…
Blogmama, in the original Bad News Bears (1976), there was a character named Kelly Leak (smoking, trouble-making long-haired pitcher). Pitcher from SF Giants has same haircut (lack thereof).
Taking it further, the actor who portrayed Kelly Leak (Jackie Earle Haley) also played Rorschach in the movie Watchmen (2009).
He also played Freddy Krueger in the recent remake of Nightmare on Elm Street.
There is no conflict unless Chicago plays New York.
I think i was just Carped…
Blogmama this is to clear up my previous post, this it what I wrote pre-Carping:
oops sorry, I suck at typing, I think about what i want to type in my head but it usually doesn’t translate from my brain to my fingers to the keyboard to well.
what i meant to say was that “he basically just bumped a Maple Leave”
One thing about the Devils winning is I get to say it again:
The Price is WROOONG, Bob!
Hey Carp,
Is there anything you can do about the typeface? It’s hideous and much too small for old men like you and me. Ha ha.
Blue Seat, ha! I copied this for all who got carp’d:

And just fyi, the original …I mean original…Bad News Bears was an awesome movie.
however, best sports movie, Caddyshack, celebrated its 30th anniversary this year. 30! I belatedly read a great story about it in Sports Illustrated of all places….be the ball.
thanks N.Country, again….you rock :)
olga, i think Lin is right, now matter who plays, your right hand smacks the left side of your face and vice versa. :)
Mama- I gotta go with Slap Shot. Caddyshack is about , well, golf. It’s not really a sport you know…
No prob Mama. :)
Pens just won in OT against the Preds.
good answer Olga, to both my question and the caddyshack thing lol ;-)
Olga, excellent rejoinder. and I agree. but like in life, hockey movies are only popular among hockey freaks like us….um, I mean I’m not a freak, but you know what I’m saying. Still adore Caddyshack.
damnit NCNYR… grrrr
Go Kings!
Go Avs!
Caddyshack IS a good movie. I love Rodney in it. Just not #1.
N.Country….I have a standing dealio on Thursdays which is I why I miss games those days. I usually get home by 9:30. May I count on you to be my recap man on those days? mama love…...:)
I know Linda it would have been nice if the Pens and Devils lost tonight, it would have made our win that much sweeter.
Fair comment Olga. “Pool and a pond, pond would be good for you though”.....not personal, just quoting for fun.
Let em know you’re there!!!
I’ll try Mama but in a few weeks my Thursdays as well as my Mondays will be hit or miss as my mens league hockey starts up. I play on mostly Mondays from November – April, but also plan on playing more Thurs nights as well this year.
Oh, this is the worst-looking hat I ever saw. What, when you buy a hat like this I bet you get a free bowl of soup, huh?
[looks at Judge Smails, who’s wearing the same hat]
Oh, it looks good on you though.
Don’t EVER play Lady of Spain again!!!!!
Hahaha…Olga…that is a great movie, but your right Slapshot takes the cake.
I love Bill Murray in Caddyshack…
NC, since I only live 2 hours away, I’ve kinda adopted the Preds as my team to watch other than my beloved Rangers. I get to watch them on a TV screen frequently, and appreciate the effort they put forth, Shea Weber is a beast, and their TV announcers are a hoot.
Carl ( Bill Murray) – Correct me if I’m wrong Sandy, but if I kill all the golfers, they’re gonna lock me up and throw away the key…
See Linda- when you root for Sather’s Rangers you need a second team for the playoffs. And it can’t be an Eastern team because they all suck after beating the Rangers so many times.
Orr…I just saw some upsetting news…Maria Sharapova is engaged…I always thought she was a hot Russian.
N.Country, fair enough. I thank you for tonight!
Olga, (and I don’t have to google this)...I was born, to love you, I was born to …ahhh. in hindsight not a good line to post. How about, my arm, my arm!
Not golfers, you great fool! Gophers! The little brown, furry rodents !
There is not much in Slap Shot that is quotable here either.
N.Country…”mind if I play through?”
lmao Olga!
I think the only Eastern team I’d not be disgusted by their winning a Cup would probably be the Caps because I have a really great friend who is a huge, lifelong, die hard Caps fan, and I’d like him to experience the thrill of a championship.

Yeah baby!
Olga, agreed, but come on, this was a great flick and you can quote from it. Noonan

Oh, this your wife, huh? A lovely lady. Hey baby, you must’ve been something before electricity.
I hear this place is restricted, Wang, so don’t tell ‘em you’re Jewish, okay?
Is this thing on?
This steak still has marks from where the jockey was hitting it.
Lacey Underall: My uncle says you’ve got a screw loose.
Ty Webb: Your uncle molests collies.
HA! LMAO…see, ya just just can’t help yourself with this flick. Classic! And, now I get ready to get carp’d with post game notes….s’alright. You’ll get nothing and like it!
Anybody throws me against the boards, I’m gonna piss all over myself.
Ogie, but on you it looks good though
It’s easy to grin
When your ship comes in
And you’ve got the stock market beat.
But the man worthwhile,
Is the man who can smile,
When his shorts are too tight in the seat.
lmao @ austin powers… very nice Ogie, austin powers was also wayne campbell, who was a hockey fan and went to stan mikita’s donuts
I’ve got both movies in my dvd collection, these posts are making me want to watch them now.
Game on Garth!
you go to the box, you know. Two minutes, by yourself, you know and you feel shame, you know. And then you get free.
Thats one of the best lines, you go to the box and you feel shame…hahaha!!
Hey Mr. Donut Man, who’s trying to kill ya? I don’t know but they better not!
see a Rangers win puts everyone in a good mood and out come the movie qoutes.
Well i think it’s off to bed soon for me.
Linda….ROFL @ your left hand right face comment…ROFL… +1
I say hurl. If you blow chunks and she comes back, she’s yours. But if you spew and she bolts, then it was never meant to be.
Olga, you’re right! There is so little from Slap Shot that can be quoted here! Caddy, however….Doody!
Oy. time for mama to say niters…you all have fun :) niters and TA!
thanks again N.Country….go watch…:)
Oh this young man has had a very trying rookie season, with the litigation, the notoriety, his subsequent deportation to Canada and that country’s refusal to accept him, well, I guess that’s more than most 21-year-olds can handle… Ogie Ogilthorpe!
Nite mama
Sweet win….....
ILB
yes, as many as you want.
Linda/orr
It doesn’t have to be him, just someone that plays that style!
Biron looked very good….did gilly play in the 3rd??.....rozy played better (not saying much)......Boogie rattled orr with that one shot and definitely landed more punches, but orr got the take down (I think orr knew he was in trouble and take down was his best way out) so draw….....avery and dubi both took bad slashing penalties….prust is invaluable….avery had another very good game despite the slashing penalty….if we could just hit the net…....disappointed in the chippyness factor…....dubi, for a bigger player, is kind of a wuss. no edge to his game when there should be (like nose to nose with armstrong in the crease and he backs down of course).....I think gilroy should be traded before he loses all confidence (I ask again, did he play in the 3rd??)
nite all.
grabby
that movie is pretty good!
I give Boogie man the win…that one punch was very hard…only Orr’s toughness keeps him afloat there…the take down was nothing more than an escape hatch as wicky stated
a wicky….as I said, missed the game, so saving judgment…but happy for the win…catch you all tomorrow.
double niters :)
what can i say? Rangers played a great game! Much needed win…
btw, was that Larry Brooks at the end of the game standing there with a notebook as the Rangers were walking to the locker? lol
hello?? is anyone out there?
Sharapova engaged? Meh, no big deal. She’s a has been these days.
I just saw some new nudie pics of Miranda Kerr, that reminded me how much of a babe that Aussie is. Legolas knocked her up. Damn him, he should be lingering in Lothlórien with his own kind instead of messing around with our kind!
Renney just dropped a couple of “f” bombs. Potty mouth!
Wild beat the Oilers.
Back to the Kings game.
Ratso, try hitting “CONTROL+”
CCCP, yup.
Good night kids.
Good night, Sally, 26!
Varp… yup right back at you!
C O N S I S T E N C Y – is the key word for the next game!
Varp?? lmao!! I meant CARP!!!
mama
nice laurel!!!!
night assens!!
it looked like they were in the “protect Biron” mode. wish they would have that same mentality every game
Biron and Rangers got off to good start.
Good news and bad news re: Boogy v. Orr tilt:
Good news is that Orr actually did a very good job, and at worst won on decision. That’s good because other goons may have just realized that Boogy is mortal.
Bad news is that Boogy didn’t beat Orr, and Sather just signed Boogy (who can’t play an NHL shift) for 4 yrs, when he coulda signed Orr (who can BARELY skate an NHL shift with his ankle bending).
Let me be the first to say it: Boogy is not long for this team. Sather should BEG Sutter to take this guy off of his hands. I mean hand and knees beg.
3 things I take from the game:
1. Brandon Prust is the prototypical 21st century “enforcer.” You HAVE to be able to play in today’s NHL. Give us one more Prust, and one less Boogaard.
2. Keeping Stepan-Avery-Feds & AA-Duby-Cally lines is crucial going forward. The chemistry is there.
3. We have one hell of a backup goalie in Hank.
The rangers paid brash 1.9 mil (roughly?) last year, and commited 6.5mil to this neanderthal when they could have just kept Orr for 4 yrs, 1mil per… go sather!
Orr does get an early punch in there before boogie can get his gloves off, but still, this only shows that boogie will eventually be sharing the bill for team meals with Redden.
Hockeyfightsdotcom has a video of the orr-Boogy fight. Most voted Boogy the winner with Orr yanking him down to save himself. In hindsight, it was a pretty good fight, but again, I have to say that Boogy is a dinosaur in the new NHL.
And one thing I like about Boogy is that he shows no emotion. Like a White Shark. Lifeless eyes. He belongs in an MMA octogon. Not an NHL arena.
Boogy’s gonna have to learn to skate to play the game. Maybe he should see that coach Boyle was seeing in the off season. LOL @ the legolas mention. Did I mention how much I hate Jersey shore today? If not,
clears throatI BYFUGLIEN HATE JERSEY BYFUGLIEN SHORE!!!!!!!!!!cw he’s channeling his inner redden.
Cabs are here?
I disagree with you who fault Boogard for inadequacy. He landed about 4-p5 really good rocking shots directly on Orr,s phiz, and you could see the desperation in Orr’s eyes when he finally had to grab Boogard and wrestle him to the ice. You could also see the contempt in Boogard’s face as he skated unmarked to the box. You folks are way too critical. The guy is not the second coming of Brian Boitano, but he’s not the collossus of Rhodes either. He’ll do the job they signed him for. Leave him be.
Isn;t it remarkable how having his forwards plunk a few goals increase a goaltenders proficiency?
I really like the way Biron plays the position. He stands and faces the shooters and he uses whatever technique is appropriate for the situation. He will use a butterfly when necessary…but he’s not wedded to the tactic like Lundqvist is. He is also much quicker than I thought he was.
If that had been LAQ in the nets, he’s have been on his knees for most of those shots, and for most of the game. I just do not see this adoration for LQ as to his technique. He seems to have captured the NY mystique be becoming a folk hero. Since about the middle of last season to the present time, hehas shown himself to be very very ordinary. ( Which by the way, he always was when he came from Europe..he was not the stellar figure he became over here.)
Iwas amazed at the vigor and ferocity that Roszival played with last night. I have always said that he can play this game….but that he just didn’t. He hopefully has embarked on a new out look that l
hope will enhance his stature, and make him useful, instead of a waste of time.
What truly opened my eyes was the excellent defense played by Sauer! This guy is a very good defenseman. And what can you say about Callahan? Lord that smallish body encloses a heart of steel.
All in all..a fine courage building performance that we can hope lingers on to the Bruin’s game.
Haha… lq is the man, theres a reason Tsn ranked him nhl’s second vest goalie.
Boogie will not play out his whole contract, he is inept at his overall duty of being a forward which is a significant problem when only 1 other nhl player will fight him.
BTW… T-shirt time!
Idk what 2nd vest goalies are, but LQ is better described as the nhl’s 2nd best.
