In last year’s tournament, Bourque recorded three assists and a plus-three rating in seven games to help lead Team USA to the Gold Medal. The Boxford, Massachusetts native was originally selected as the Rangers’ third round choice, 80th overall, in the 2009 NHL Entry Draft.
Forwards Roman Horak (Czech Republic) and Jesper Fasth (Sweden) are also expected to represent their respective country at the 2011 World Junior Championship.
Horak, 19, has registered 15 goals and 23 assists for 38 points, along with 30 penalty minutes in 30 games with the Chilliwack Bruins of the Western Hockey League (WHL) this season. He ranks second on the team and is tied for fifth in the WHL with 10 power play goals, and ranks first on Chilliwack in points per game average (1.27) and second in goals, assists, and points. This will be the second appearance for Horak, having represented the Czech Republic in the 2010 World Junior Championship, recording two points (one goal, one assist) in six games. The Ceske Budejovice, Czech Republic native was originally selected as the Rangers’ fifth round choice, 127th overall, in the 2009 NHL Entry Draft.

I’m trying to digest what Carp is saying about Prust being more of an agitator.

candyass on a number 5 jersey LOL
Is there anything better than listening to blogfather talk Rangers?
lol crap! can i say crap? yea, say whatever you want. okay, crap!
Mama – Honestly, Im saddened i never listened to Carp sooner. His voice is so calming and soothing. He sounds awesome. Like an actor.
INDICT SATHER!!!!
GANG! HI!!
Seems like I missed a lot around here while I was kicking assen at work for 11 hours.
Speaking of assen… good to see MZA get the call. And like a lot of you, I am not surprised that Gabby’s hurt. Going to be some mighty interesting lines tomorrow night, that is for sure.
Sad to have missed Carp on the radio. Maybe I can snatch it off itunes and it can be my airplane listening tomorrow whilist enroute home.
INDICT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! are we moving on Olga?
Can we just go to HANG SATHER?
Carp sounds on radio just like he sounds in life :) even when he’s ticked, he has that Carp sound….:)
Tavares wins it in OT. That means the Bolts will beat us tomorrow to erase the embarrassment.
Mickey, you can still catch him now or on replay later
ORR, grrrrrrr
Hope Kreider is not Lisin
me too ddeb, but don’t think so
ha! double crap!
Kreider is NOT Enver Lisin.
Mark it down.
The guy is a blur.
We need speed…
Rod, I’ve been out of the loop for a few days. Can we call it a draw? welcome…..no harm no foul, OK? mama…..
I will Krei if Kreider is Enver Lisin.
This is what he’ll be doing to Chris Pronger in the near future.

Absolutely Mama.
Please tell your friends to put down their arms :)

nice carp, very nice
Carp is an ilb level humanitarian
Great interview!
“We need speed”
Speed is what we need. We gotta get greasy fast speed. Chicken-chasing is how we used to train back in the old days. If you can catch this thing, you can catch greased lighting.
I love the love for carp, even though he “doesn’t get to every practice.” our Carp rules!!!!! Thanks guys, on behalf of the Report!
Don’t you all love how they call him the Great Rick Carpiniello?
I thought that “Great” was his first name….
mouth loves carpy
ORR=Rocky :)
That was Gray, Olga :-)
Rocky II, actually :P

The Great Rick Carpiniello needs an elvis style cape to put the final stamp on his greatness!
Just so youse guys
ngals know – Mouth calls everybody ‘Great’.But they (Jim and Eddie) genuinely have deep respect for Carp.
Well done Carp – and all you boneheads too!
lol, great show tonight
Linda is our top bonehead! :)
The Carp has left the building!!!
Tiki, you don’t need to blow smoke
Should we adjust our names to honor GREAT Carp?
dbmaven
that’s ‘great’ to know! :)
Rod, I’‘ll be out of the field for a while, but I think between your truce, our truce and Carp, you should be OK as long as you behave! (now, keep in mind, I say that to everyone here, but I mean it to everyone, too :) Happy Festivus!
P.S. I take back Hartnell :)
yes ilbzo we should
like so?
Bwaha! Aves hurt Hendricks.
Shuddup Linda! I dont blow smoke! Smoking is bad for the health :)
Mama- GREAT move!
Eww. OV just flashed his weeny to Green.
on a lil personal note
RIP Pop, 27 years and I miss you more each day
Black Hawks lead Nashville 2-0 after 2…
is this correct?
Close enough, Wicky, and LMAO!
no no no wicky
you are the blog goon!
oh d’uh, slow on the uptake ‘grating one’ lol
OK, TGOs, I’ll see you all during Festivus!
27 years, wow how old was he Linda?
CCBG
Tiki, did you get my email? (I had the wrong subject line on it).
ps, has anybody heard from Fozzy? Hope she’s doing OK.
dde, thank you for the compliment, but don’t put me on ilb’s pedestal. He’s in a different ballpark—I make sarcastic remarks. He actually helps people, saves people. But I do appreciate being in the same sentence.
Merry Prustmas, you Prustbyterians! LMFAO.
was my grandpa dde, the glue that held the family together
I would love to wear a cape!
Fozzy is doing pretty ok Carpy. She’s a strong lady!!
Gonna see if I can grab her in here for the game maybe tomorrow night.
She loves all youse guys for sure.
an ELVIS style cape…. bedazzled and all that!!!
we beat people up, therefore we are Prustbyterians
Linda, did you lose your pop around the holidays? Must have been really tough, and probably still makes the holidays melancholy.
Please, give Fozzy our best.
With regards to our vernacular, should LMFAO be LMBAO?
Orr that was just a knockwurst from the team buffet.
yes Carpy, grandpa 3 days before Christmas in ‘83, nanny new years day ‘90
certain did change the holidays
Linda, I had a favorite uncle who went into a coma on Christmas Eve and never came out of it, though he lived for a few years. I always think of him at this time of year. But you know what? I believe that thinking about him makes me appreciate the holidays more, appreciate being around family more. And, religion aside, that’s what the holidays are about.
Actually, I think I get more sad now when the holidays and the get-togethers are over.
Now I’ll climb down from the pulpit and get back to my usual immaturity.
LMAO @ the refs cracking a couple of Red Bulls to celebrate waiving off Malkin’s goal. Bwaha!
But before I do, I want to thank Eddie and Jim for having me on and indulging our fine blog and those who inhabit it.
Thank you, guys. Hope you Prustbyterians have a wonderful, wonderful holiday season and a great 2011!
Non-Hockey fans must watch this and think…
A) NYR is a damn good team
and
B) Sean Avery is a bully, and a total Steven Segal
great post carpy.
It would be easier if i was closer to family and friends. It does help to think about all the fun we had. He used to send me clippings from the Daily News every April when the Rangers were out of the playoffs… Bill Gallo’s artwork of a Ranger getting into the coffin lol. I still have them somewhere! My pop was a riot!
Yes, Carp! LMBAO!!!! or LMHAO!
thanks ilbGREAT!!!
Here’s my early grievances…Pitt, Philly, Debs, Fishsticks, war, world hunger, a bunch of people I can’t mention here, people who talk on cell phones while driving, food shopping, anything in front of me, litterbugs, non-pooper scoopers, hartnellers, carcillos, kitty stink eye, cold weather.
I’m sure there’s more, cause I’m very aggrieved :)
P.S. Forget who mentioned this, but awesome on the bagel protest!
LGR!
It’s your pulpit carp, keep on keeping on!!!
mama
how about people that drive their iphones??
ORR, people who are not hockey fans look at Aves and respond like me. Not to Segal. no no no no
One thing Aves and Segal have in common is love for prostitution. Bwaha!
ORR, grrrrrrr. not nice
Craps fist bumping. Oh boy!
Hawks WIN! 4-1
One hour til Festivus
when Carpy said CRAP on BB, i lost it!!! comedy astrostellar!
Check this out, Kanye West interrupts another person. What an idiot.

I just hope Carp doesn’t throw his back out swingin’ his pelvis
If you haven’t read it already. Steven Stamkos became just the sixth NHLer in history to reach 100 career goals before reaching his 21st birthday. Besides Gretzky, name just one of the four others?
Cheat or give up if you must:
