Last home game of 2010.
Mats Zuccarello made it back, dashing through the snow, from Hartford. Marian Gaborik is expected to return from a groin issue. Matt Gilroy stays in the lineup. Michael Del Zotto gets prucha’d again, along with Todd White. Lundqvist in goal.
Here are the probable lines, according to Andrew Gross:
Dubinsky-Stepan-Gaborik
Frolov-Anisimov-Drury
Fedotenko-Boyle-Prust
Avery-Christensen-Zuccarello

Where is Izzy?
Mandlebaum!
No Bump tonight Boys. you’re on your own…
Pat LaFontaine?
Doesn’t MSG have enough people working for them?
Sorry, Izzy….You got to want it..
What in Holy Hell?
Step-On must be bummed that Glee is on hiatus.
So you think you’re better than me?
Enough of your macho head games…
Torts looks so mad, it doesn’t even look like he has eyes. Everything is just black.
Did LaFountain call MZA “crappy”?
Your last two Bumps were blanks, Izzy….Thought it was time to change it…
And let me say for the record: You both are better than me.
Surprisingly full at the garden.
crafty
ilb – damn it! you cost us by seconds. Izzy needs to get first on these posts. going to miss some of the game tonight, got a few things to do, someone who shall not be named kept me on the phone ALL DAY! Thhhhpppppt! :)
seriously, though, im devastated… and you know what i mean, person who shall not be named :(
ilb- you’re not paying attention, Butterbean. The Izzy bump is not just #1, it’s the World’s Greatest.
Blake Comeau is due for a multi goal game, since he apparently only scores against us.
Gonna be really pissed if I schlepped here in this weather and they lose.
They are doomed Tiki! Doomed! Do you hear me? DOOMED!
I don’t know how official this rankings really are…This one is for you, pop!
“What you saw the first time, was a team not backing down”
Bwaha! What you saw the first time was a LOSS. MSG morons.
LMAO @ Maloney’s voice.
How was the schlepp, Doodie?
Like tinsel, I find Micheletti distracting….
Carp, Why is Avery on the 4th line, shouldnt he be on the sloppy second line?
Trevor Gillies is an idiot.
Why does Booger have to be such a fragile fugger? I want to see him kill Gillies.
Aves on the second line?
::vomiting::
I know, Izzy. the last 2 or 3 times you’ve missed the bump, we’ve lossed. im quite perturbed by this. you ought to be getting first every single god damn go time post. no excuses. get your act together.
and to person who shall not be named, i could actually be devastated by 4 things.
1. Giants sleeping through yesterday’s game
2. losing a lot of money on the arsenal game
3. not getting to speak to a certain someone for the next few days
4. not having a scheduled delivery get to the recipient on time
But it’s number 4 that irks me…wait til i get on the phone with them and demand compensation. damn blizzard. UGHHHH!!!
Not terrible for me because I actually went to work this morning, but my poor wife met me here
Hahaha! You see how Dublowsky holds that slice of Pizza?
He lifts it with his thumb and index finger. Bwaha!
Great – now Dubi & EC are gonna have bellyaches, cavities, & diabetes..
Izzy pick out anything in the room and I’ll lift it over my head.
GO TIME!!!!!!
ALRIGHT!!!!!! lets go lets go lets go!!!!!!
GO GO GO TIME!!!!
Last home game of 2010.
***
I’m going to the Pebble on Wednesday, I thought that counted as a home game.
EC already looks like a teenage girl addicted to binging and purging.
Make sure you bring a pocket knife, CT. A lot of creeps down there.
Carp- lift yourself…
Nobody is lifting anything, Carp!
Dubinsky t-shirt, check
Callahan heritage jersey (I got it the day he broke his hand but they won and they won every other game I’ve worn it for the whole game, the TB game doesn’t count because I left my house after the 1st), check
Rangers knit cap part of a buy 2 get 1 free from NHL store, check
Pebble’s ‘hood isn’t bad. I went to game 1 of the Rangers-Devils playoffs there a couple of years ago. I was more concerned wearing a Rangers Gomez jersey than walking around Newark. He had 3 assists that game, I got all sorts of profanities yelled at me on the way out. It was worth it.
Give ilb a lift. And drop him off in Hartford….
Sorry, Izzy, but Slats gave me a NMC..
what has Drury done to be awarded playing with the second line and avery still on the fourth?
better than that why is drury even shooting in a shootout?
ridiculous!!!!!!
This is for real, boys! Go get them!
CTB – watch out for people Kovalchuking in the bathrooms at Prudential Center. Disgusting behaviour from some fans there…
Roloson was named NHL plater of the week. It only took him 40 years
They also put Rangers logos at the bottom of the urinals at that game I went to. I hope Marty washed his hands after placing them there.
I am so sad. Had tickets for tonights game
But trains weren’t running. They better win!
LET’S GO RANGERS!!!
Let’s go lads!
You should have walked Meliss. You could have had your own “Day After Tomorrow” experience.
WEEEEEEEEEEEE
Artie?
GILLY!
Rolloverson lets one in!
That’s the way to start boys!!!
This ain’t NJ, stringbeans! 1-0
I told you all, this will be a 6-2 win
giggity giggity!!!
Annie-Sea-Mauve! 1-nil.
Nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks Robbie!
Robby Schremp has been on fire
Holy hartnell! I come in 50 seconds late and we’re winning already!!!! LGR!!!!!!
so i bet del zotto learned how to party from Higgins last year
I told you all Gilly would score too
we scored we scored!!!!!!
Now we just need MZA to pot his first, Orr. Then we can bestow on you the title of Rangers Nostradamus
Goal changed to Gilroy.
Welcome Mama…hop you had a nice festivus. Did you find a Sauer calendar under your pole Festivus morning?
Oh, Gilroy is here!
glad gilroy got a goal!
Gabby with the same crap shot.
Gaborik skating pretty well.
Zuccarello hits every chance he gets, the kid is awesome
zuccarello better be here to stay
MZA throwing the body around.
It’s good to see Gaborik attack the net. These are the Islanders; he senses another hat trick.
Ok, so now im convinced Gilroy is being shopped around. Joe is talking him up like a used car salesman.
MZA needs to get one goal, he’ll stay
Heeeeeeeeeeeeenriiiiiiiik
Sooooooooftqviiiiiist
Are you serious???
Mandatory soft lundquist goal
Damn
are you kidding me???? WTB!
King …of softies!!!
Shremp scores. Assisted by Moe and Larry…
Another 6-5 game?
i remember usa hockey magazine was all on schremp being the next big thing.
ARGH!!!
That was embarrassing
Schremp = Isles EC
Schremp with 2
cally, no sadly, that darn elf!
like how christensen just stood there and did’t try for a rebound
TIMEOUT
Goalie change
Pull Biron!
Ugh, PAP smear
Here we go….
Givem the Hook
Girardi was sleeping
Parenteau’s Revenge.
The Islanders must feel like they are at home because the building is empty and quiet
Miked – noticed that too. How about a little spray?
Mandatory PAP goal vs Rangers as well.
LOL Izzy
“Shremp scores. Assisted by Moe and Larry”
this is gonna be a game…..that near kills me
Ha, Gaborik’s got cross ice pass disease now.
Pull Softqvist now. This ain’t his night, the game is more than in reach.
Prust should have fought Konopka, not Gillies.
Giants yesterday, Rangers today…please – I can’t take it. Thank God for WWE @ 9pm…
Henrik Limpqvist tonight. Wake up Hank! They didn’t cancel the game. Really. It’s on. Really.
ORR,
about EC: I’m not kidding – there is an actress by name Erica Christensen
Gaborik-Step-Hobbit line looks good
Prust should have fought Lundquist
Looking at how poorly the Islanders are playing in their defensive zone, the Rangers will have to want to lose this one. If the Rangers lose is will be by design.
20% of concessions for anyone who made it to the game? Marty Brodeur has just been spotted at the box office.
If they keep the pressure up like they have been they’ll do fine.
Oh yeah, from that show Tik likes, Parenthood.
good shift
Couple of good shifts after that fight
Marty’s still at the box office because he can’t fit through the turnstiles.
I’ll take a goal over a good shift any time.
Something tells me MZA- Stepan- Gaborik will log in close to 30 min
5 min. of sudden collective letargy (including Hank) cost us just 2 ins.(nerves demage including)
Shoot, I’m missing too much between cleaning, packing, mom etc…....
He shouldn’t have ate all that snow.
Softqvist is fighting the puck.
Hank’s slump usually happens after Christmas. Maybe tonight is the night it starts?
What the fugg? C’mon!
In the words of a 13 year old girl, this period can’t end soon enough.
PP.
Hamana, Hamana, Hamanic- 2 minutes
Wow, after all the legitimate penalties they missed they call that a trip.
Nice!
WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Gaborik
Gabbbyyyyy! Finally!
Nice! Big ups to MZA for that sequence
GabbYYYYYYYYYY
PP Goal Gabby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tied Up. Yabba Gabba Dooo!
I love MZA on the PP.
That should be MZA’s goal….He tipped it!
Gaborik’s tenth, nine of which are against the Islanders.
Sh*t!!
Captain unClutch :(
Not clutch.
What a great goal that would’ve been!!
Nine? He had three against the Oilers.
They need to get their zuck together. Or stay in the Isles zone
Dammit Dreary – pretend you’re putting a pizza in the oven.
gaborik , he is quik
with his stick
so sick !!!!
He, The Savior.
LMAO! Rosen stuck in Newark. He can use his nose to shovel. Bwaha!
Islanders, Oilers – what’s the difference?
ORR, you have a fixation that needs to be put on the pill
Keep MZA!!!
Good thing Gabo doesn’t play for the Isles – he’d be goalless.
good answer MZA!!! I can not believe that question just got asked. embarrassing.
I think MZA is missing a lot of high quality American profanity by not staying in the lockerroom
I bet he’s teaching them some good ones on his own ilb :)
hey fozzy!
ilb – good one
Yeah, but nobody compares to Torts, mama…Just ask Larry Brooks
ha! still, i could make Torts sound like the wife of a sailor…..
Hey Mama!! :)
“Very un-Lundqvist like”
Yeah. You haven’t been watching many games, LaFountain, huh?
18 shots on goal already?
Noses and snow go so well together for me. I don’t get why, Mama.
Hi, Fozzy! How are you, girl?
I hate, hate that he comments on our games. hate it!
Who, mama?
As my good friend Frank once said, just don’t sniff that yellow snow. and if you don’t get that, then I’m sure someone else will explain :)
LaFanhartnell
but your voice is sexy, Mama! Torts’ voice isnt! So profanity coming out of your mouth sounds hot! :)
HI FOZZY! LOVE YA, SIS! Hope the Rangers win for you tonight!
I saw yellow snow while I was shoveling today. Some dog let loose.
Have nothing against him, mama, sorry. I met him. “Companions in Courage”
That’s it – to asalym
Por favor, tell Rozsival that Christmas is over.
Doing pretty good ilb! Thanks….best part is I am getting time again to catch Rangers and RR!
i see the goals came from Parenteau and Schrempf. Parenteau again, ARRRRGH, i hate that guy. And Schrempf?? The basketball player that used to play for the Trailblazers, Detlef? I mean, who in the blue hell is Schrempf?
bench rozi not dz
Tiki Bro!! They WILL win tonight!!
Frolov wants to do a wrap around so badly. You can tell.
PP
Stupid Konopka! Bwaha.
i know ilb, but I still think of him as an enemy fishstick, and I don’t like his commentary.
Lt’s get another PP goal boys!!
That’s how you do it, boys! Time to score
Mama – he was one one the best US born players evah. Shame on you!
I dont mind Lafontaine! Especially since he was all and only New York during his career. What a great guy, to play only in New York in his career. He obviously knew that this is the greatest place in the world!
Dont blame Lafontaine for not knowing what he’s talking about. Listening to Joe Buck yesterday, he didnt know what the byfuglien he was talking about, and he mostly covers the NFC East.
__
FOZZY! You gotten the package?
Is that an all-white stick that that Isles player is using?
I like it.
Stupid play by Aves.
Avery really needs to stop with the reverse moves inside his own zone. It hardly ever works.
It’s Avery trade mark – same place on ice, same stupid trick and inevitable giveaway.WTB?!
what a terrible decision by 16. stupid mistakes is what the 2010-11 NYR mostly give up goals on. Cut out the stupid boneheaded plays and we have a real chance to win the Cup.
2-2 … this team is still Minnie-Mouse …
Not yet Tiki…we got so much snow though…lot’s of places were closed today. I’ll let you know! :)
Yowza!!! mama getting elbow’d!!! yet, I am never wrong…interesting conundrum we have here tonight :)
Hank yelling at MZA for that giveaway. Ahaha!
May be Avery just get dizzy after his 1/2 spinorama.But why always at the same place in own zone 1 ft. away from save passage?
How can Avery turn it over so much with so little ice time?
okie dokie FOZZY bear! one of my special packages, i picked today to have it be delivered when i ordered it, and even though UPS isnt delivering to maine, massach., and new hampshire, they also werent delivering to the zip code in new york that my package was going to! ARGH!!!
tiki, you need rudolph next year :)
Man, they gotta get one soon. Isles are standing around watching inside their own zone.
Roloson is keeping them alive
Tiki, It seemed the storm hit the entire east coast pretty hard! I’m sure it’s all weather realated! Hartnell weather!
Mama – LOL! I sent my teenage cousin in NJ my Derek Jeter signed 2009 World Series authentic jersey with the World Series patch and the Inaugural year of the New Yankee Stadium patch.
He’s grown up a Yankees fan, but in recent years, he became disinterested in baseball and became a hockey fan, a Devils fan!!!! So now, with the jersey, he is excited about the Yankees again!! :)
If we lose this game with 50+ shots, I’m going to slash my neighbors tires.
Where’s Sam? Probably slit his throat after the last two Giants games…
I hope they have that new Hyundai, Orr
That’s the holiday spirit Orr
oh, and of course i never wore the Jeter jersey…i always keep the tags on special stuff like that! :) i didnt just give him a used jersey!
LOL Orr——hope that neighbor is Roloson!!
I’d do that too ORR, but they’re my cat sitters so I can’t.
tki, how does one go from yankees to devils??? wtb!
That’s a great gift Tiki! He’ll love it! :)
Of course – couldn’t get through a game without hearing about hot dog lips.
Gilroy x’s 2!
BWAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHA!
Woo hoooooo. Gilroy with 2
For Giants fans:
We need a Saints loss tonight and a Saints loss next week, or a Packers loss next week….....coupled with a Giants win and we’re in.
SCORE!
Gilroy is here! 3-2!
TRADE DEL Z
We have our new PP QB!
White has a white Christmas, now he needs rosy partner for golf. Go, guys, please.
How much you wanna bet that Gilroy gets Prucha’d after such a great game? Don’t know why Torts hates him so much.
Matt Del Gilroy!
Gilroy—- how Orr-esque….end to end! LOL
yahooooooooooooooooo!!!!! Gilly!!!!!!
Gilly is feeling the jam.
gilroy hat trick?
Wow, so glad for this kid, was rooted for him all time- finaly his efforts paid off
Michael Del Scratch-O
You can see Gilly’s getting his confidence back
Mama – he lives in NJ!
Fozzy – he did love it; he even said he’d start watching the Yanks again in 2011. Im trying to pull him away from the Debbies! :)
Yeah I have a feeling DZ ain’t seeing the ice for a few games after this.
Orr – slash Blowzival’s tires instead..
Maloney sounds like Super Bob, or, for you younger peep, Funkhouser….hahahahaha
I might slash his wrists if I see him.
Hank is back
Gilroy has such offencive confidence – never understood his sitting…
Is ORR God? Or the Devil, perhaps?
he makes teams lose with a black cloud of bad luck.
he predicts Gilly to have a goal tonight, after gilly not having goal in 50+ games, then gilly scores 2 goals???? WTB!!!
Prust, the most dangerous PK’er in the world.
Yes Tiki—he must get away from thr Debbies!!!
Lundquist & Roloson are role reversing it seems
Softqvist is getting hard. He’s starting to throb.
tiki, no excuse!!!
poor DZ :(
He was stuck in the snow
Love it – Prust with the most SH points!!! :)
Maybe I’m bad luck for the Isles too. When was the last time the Isles were actually good? Definitely not since I’ve been into hockey.
PAP smear with the puck of the glass penalty.
In Orr we Prust
This is an interesting game. They should be up 6-2 already.
PP Baby! Thanks Per.Assen. Parenteau!
PP goal, MZA
BOOK IT
okie, time for some Zuke goal goodness
For the Shire!!!
Take that, Parenteau!!!!
he’s just a kid, Mama!
Chew that fishsticks, Parent of SOB
i’m thinkin like Orr now…
Hahaha! Sam Rosen finally shows up.
it’s one thing if you predicted an OVechkin goal, Orr, or if you predicted a Gilly goal every game. But you dont!!!
And Ill slash Hot Dog Lips’ hot dog lips if someone will pay my bail money!!
Sam in the house!
Rangers had their one good PP of the game already.
Dubi really loafed it back on that rush.
Sam’s wearing “Mom Jeans”!
FLAVAH!
Yes, and it counts!!! Boyle was due :)
Welcome back to earth, mr. Roloson
A bad angle goal for us!
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH!
Roloson = softson
Boyle!!!
The man is Boyling hot! 4-2.
BB!!! Flavah!!! woo hooo!
BB!!!!!!!!
Boyle still boiling…
So is the Roloson lovefest over now?
It’s what all the ladies on this blog likes to hear: “Boyle sticks it in”
Sam’s +/- is +2. Just sayin’.
Somehow managed to completely lose internet connection on my laptop after the first period and can’t get it back since I need the network password again and I’m at my parents, who have gone to bed.
Now reduced to following the game on here and Twitter while driving my iPhone, which still is connected for some reason.
”# Cally’s Broken Hand Del Headzo December 27th, 2010 at 8:34 pm
It’s what all the ladies on this blog likes to hear: “Boyle sticks it in””
LMHAO!! All the ladies, and me! ;-)
Is Sam NYR’s new condom?
Ha! “Mom jeans.”
Giannone’s been dreaming of having twins all his life. He finally got his wish!
Izzy- I gather he will not qualify for NHL best player this week…
Cally, are you really ORR???
ILB – question about the roster and the injured reserve…
First, since Boogaard is going to be out for a while, is he already on the IR?
Second, how long must a player remain on IR before you can activate him off the IR?
Wait – Tiki, you’re a dude? What does that “H” stand for in LMHAO?
....Not that there’s anything worng with that!
Yes, Cally, Im a dude! Im not actually like that, not that there’s anything wrong with that! :)
H stands for Hartnelling!
A tremendously tremendous term that I cannot take credit for, our Mama came up with that!
IR is minimum 7 days
Am I alone in thinking it was awkward when Sam walked in during the broadcast with John?
The Ferraro Twins … such a testament to Rangers drafting through the years.
Orr you are cracking me up. I am at my fav bar watching the game
MZR is looking great and I am happy for Gilroy. And of course my favorite
Brian who’s tshirt is still not available in the team store!
Now I am thinking I shouldve walked!
Hi Fozzy!
7 days min, Tiki. Could be retroactive. I don’t know if he is on IR
Yeah, Carp. But they’re from LI. WTB?
No, you’re not, but I would prefere them to talk hockey instead of Gulliver Travel
Are these Ferraro’s related to Chicken Parm/TSN Ray Ferraro?
Thanks Dubiiii!
Yeah, brothers….We are still trying to forget. Fondly
Gotcha Tiki.
...Not that there’s anything wrong with that…unlike the brother’s Ferraro hairdos
Thanks as well, ilby! Boogaard aint going to be playing for a while; he should be put on IR.
Yeah the Ferraro twins were a huge disappointment. I guess you tell the difference between the two with who has the bigger spike in their hair. Chris Ferraro kissing light sockets lately?
Hi Carp! Happy Holoidays!!! :)
Are these Ferraro’s related to Chicken Parm/TSN Ray Ferraro?
***
Related in that they should have never been allowed to put on the Rangers jersey for a real game.
B.B. now has as many goals as Ovechkin, Byfuglien, and Zetterberg, and has more goals then Datsyuk, Kessel, and Alfredsson…....Brian Boyle is an All Star.
Both Ferraros are pretty good looking…they got that going for them :)
LOL Cally!!
These Cherry M&M’s are making me thirsty.
Boyle is rocking for sure, but i wouldn’t go comparing him to Datsyuk just yet
Byfuglien dpesn’t count since he’s a D’man.
LOL Cally and CTB!
One thing is for sure- they better play well in the third. Fishsticks have nothing to lose. NJ is winning the last place race anyway…
Prust and Boyle next to each other looks like “there’s Brian Boyle with his son, Brandon”.
doesn’t
>>...NJ is winning the last place race anyway…
Arrrrrrgh!!! I wouldn’t mind if they started winning by next month.
Lets wrap this up! I want the six like I predicted.
LGR!!!!!!!
Sam obviously was terribly afraid than they not going to pay him for tonight…lol
OK – a few more goals from some non-micks now…
Bad start
Sam, shuddup
I could survive 1.5 period without his comments
MZA needs to shoot that.
DON’T PASS TO AVERY ON AN ODD MAN RUSH
Non Sweet 16 took way too long to get off a shot there…
WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Dubi!!!
Duuubiiiii!
Dubi Dubi Doooo! 5-2!
Divvying. Nice move by AA.
Dubinsky! Puckgoesinsky!
Trade Him!
Dubi!!!!!!!!!! Little man scores!!
Dreary with two assists. He’s on fire!
Orr- one more, bro
DUBIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YEAH BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
GET UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DUUUUUUUUUBBBBBBBIIIIIIIIII! game over!!!!
DUBINSKY!!!!!! Yay!!!!!!!!!!
If Rangers win tonight, and I believe they will, Hank have to thank Gilroy for a change, not other way around. ?
This is the kind of game Gaborik usually has a hat trick in.
ahem, we say Sweet 16, or Aves….nothing else. just fyi
gilly’s turn!
hey sally! that was for you!
SALLLLLLYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
just kidding Mama. and dont ever say game over before it’s over. it’s bad luck
Good night, Carp.
or i will hat trick first :)
Can someone look up our face-off percentage since Drury returned?
How’s everybody doing tonight?
tiki, i know. I am newspapering myself
Drury must have some pizza grease on his stick blade. Couldn’t handle the saucer.
don’t know where everybody is Sally :( but glad you’re here!
Fedex!
Okay now ORR is freaking me out.
WHAT DID I TELL YOU????
Fedetenko!!!! Woohoo! Great night to be snowed in…though I was supposed to be at this game.
Gilroy must be like +5 or something now!
6 goals. Is this the end for Roly the Goalie?
Ilbtenko! I mean, tenko!
TENKO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 6-2!!
What a beauty. Complete Combination finaly
Everyone great, Sally, now that youve joined us!
SCOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ORR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
GET UP for our NYR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TENKO!!!!! game is ours!!!!!!!! LGR!!!!!!
MZA wants a piece!
How did the Islanders manage to not lose 5 in a row? I know one of those games were against the Devils but what about the other 4. They’re really awful.
Bravo, Zuk!
yes, I said it….!
Orrrrrr – you really call that?
Hey, Sally! Working again, girl?
Hey mama & Tiki!
This game was tied when I started watching. I must be good luck!
sunday newspaper is coming your way, mama
Hey guys! Just checking in. I love it when our Rangers score so many goals! LGR!!!!!
youre always good luck Sally, especially for the Dubi
Yup! I said 6-2, Gilroy and MZA would score.
I was off on MZA.
Hey Ilb! How are you doing? No work today! A REAL day off! Slept in late, long lunch with a good friend, finally started getting Hanukkah presents for mom, now hockey with yall!
Yeah, Dubi always plays better when he knows his gorgeous man is watching!
Stepan!!!
WooHooWooHooWooHoo!
WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Steppy ruine dmy prediction, but I’m happY!
I was just thinking the same, Blue Seat. They wouldn’t be able to defend against the worst AHL team. 7-2.
Step-ON it, kiddo! 7-2.
STEP-CHILD!
ruins my’
His gorgeous FAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
its a power play goal, and this game is was a Rangers statement, baby! Im not one for rubbing it in, but pile on Rangers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I WANT EIGHT!
I think Rolly needs a seat!
MZA with his first NHL point.
My feed is way behind you guys! YAY STEPAN!!!
MZA with a point.
What a delisious performance and show
Julie and Sally….stay and it’ll be 10 for the Rangers!!!!
steppers and MZA!!!!!!!
Step-on their throats! 7-2!
I think I hear the Isles “woo” sound, nice.
Hi Sally—-our fave NYR good luck charm!!!
Sally- Hanukkah of 2011?
So now the Islanders know where they belong.
Damn!
Fozzy – Rolly is pure Folly!!!!
The dreaded 5 goal lead.
Any Ranger who doesn’t get a point in this game has to feel dejected.
tiki, only i can newspaper :) and there shall be none for me tonight!
I think the NHL should send the Islanders to AHL. For conditioning stint.
MZA – Mighty Zesty Assist
Now we need to destroy the Devs tomorrow, and it will be an orgasmic start to the week.
This is the type of game Aaron Voros would have scored in.
Devils game is Wed. Orr.
I desparetely need a goal from MZA,...please!
Hell, this is the type of game Aaron Ward would have scored in.
Cally and CT, LMAO!
LOL CT!!!
Crap. I can’t wait an extra day to watch NYR beat up the Debbies.
CTB- I doubt about Voros. He would brake his nose fighting in the first period.
Bwaha! Aaaron and Jason Ward.
What the fugg!
Rolo doing his best Billy Smith impression swatting his stick around the net.
The horn sounded? Mercy call?
This is the kind of game Brashear would still get boo’d in.
We’re spanking…I mean thanking the Islanders for beating Montreal last night.
this is the type of game I would have scored in
Hi Fozzy!!! How’s it goin girl??
Ilb, ehh I wish. She’s getting all her Hanukkah presents for her bday in early January. LOL!
Maybe ilb, I think Voros would have gotten beaten up by Cam Janssen on his way to fight Gillies or Konopka.
The loss to the Lighning in the skills competition is acceptable if it means the Rangers follow it up by doing the Isles and Devs dirty like this.
Boyle with a goal, and two assists.
MONSTER
At least I haven’t missed many goals after the first period then…
I want 60 shots! And I want it now!
Boyle = tremendously tremendous
isles aren’t even mad that the rangers are trying really hard to keep scoring
in the old days, this would be an all out brawl by now
So based on the results (Pitt, PHX, tonight) the Cally heritage jersey is coming with me to the Pebble on Wed.
It’s no secret that the Isles are deliberately icing a minor league team.
A saucer pass could get past Roloson right now. Still better than DP!
I didn’t see a white towel yet
Poor Cally couldn’t even un-wrap his presents.
Dub, I agree. Bwaaaaaaaaaa!!!!
No, you good, LW3H. It’s been kinda quiet. You can hear crows flying over LI
Dubiiii true…if this was the Flyers we’d have a brawl by now too!
Gilroy injured
Del Z coming back
getting ready for stick salute and helmet nuzzles!!!
Nooooooo!
Bad saucer pass, Dubi, Shame on you :-)
Gilroy’s injured??????
my favorite part mama!!!
Nice check by Hank.
Let ‘em fight.
What a piece of sh*t that child molester looking loser the Isles coach is. Sending out his goons in the final seconds.
I really love Sauer’s attitude!!!
now they fight!!!!! ridiculous!
Sauer takes no prisoners.
Sauer does his part- don’t touch Hank
Great fuggin win. I’m happy!
Helmet nuzzles!!!
Nice win! Finally winning record on home ice!!!
LMAO at that toss by Dublowsky.
Hello Ranger Fans! Here we are at the World’s Most Flurrymous Arena!
Did any of you catch Muckler in the Christmas commercial? He was in a Budweiser Ad. You know the one with the Clydesdale? The horse turns around to go back to the barn, and you can see Muckler. Looked just like him…
I want to wish all the Islander fans (you know who you two guys are) a very Merry Christmas. You finally got the one thing you have asked for all these years- a team that’s better than the Devils….
Messier: Good news Slats. We’re going to get Ovechkin next month! I made an offer to McPhee and he said it would be a damn cold day when he trades Ovie to Glen Sather. So I figure that’s in January…
Glennie: Mess, you’re an idiot. It’s cold in February too…
I was sitting in a bar one time, when this guy walks in with a dog under his arm. The dog is wearing a NY Islanders jersey and the guy is holding an Islanders pennant.
The bartender says, “Hey! No pets allowed in here! You’ll have to leave! ”
The man begs, “Look I’m desperate. We’re both big Isles fans, my TV set is broken, and this is the only place we can see the game! ”
After securing a promise that the dog will behave and warning him that if there is any trouble they will be thrown out, the bartender relents and allows them to stay in the bar and watch the game.
The game begins with the Islanders winning the faceoff. They sweep across the blueline, fire a shot and it rings off the crossbar and in the net. With that the dog jumps up on the bar and begins walking up and down the bar barking and giving everyone a high-five.
This continues throughout the game and the islanders win. The dog goes nuts! He starts barking like mad, does a few back flips, and begins licking the owners face.
The bartender says, “Wow that is the most amazing thing I’ve ever seen! What does the dog do if they win a playoff series?”
“I don’t know,” replies the owner, “I’ve only had him for seventeen years.”
Well have a Happy New Year Ranger fans, and remember, don’t drink and drive. It’s almost as bad as texting. If you have to drink, do like I do, pull over first…
Looks like I’m good for a few more years as GM
Uncle Glennie
These are the games the Rangers must win if we are to the rule the world in 2011!!!!!!
The games against bad teams, the letdown games, are the games that the Rangers are proving themselves time and again this year
Ya never know, guys. The Stanley Cup. Why not us?
Woo-Hoo another win!!!!!!
Rolloson- #7 star
I wonder if when congratulating each other this exhibition would even allow them to say “Good Game?”
I love the smell of grilled fish in the evening. Smells like….victory!
I mean, a game requires 2 competitors…
Uncle Glennie!!!! Missed you!!!! Thanks for the end of year post!!!!
Good grief, can we take the win and be happy!? I am very happy, thrilled in fact!
and Cally, you have cracked me up all night!
Fozzy, me too!!!
LMAO @ Lil Man
sauer defending Hankie was another bright spot on a bright and glowing season. Teammates fighting for one another; teaching other teams that there will be no cheap shots on Hankie. all steps in the right direction. GILROY!!!!!!!!!!
great win although to me, the most impressive player on the ice was Anisimov. He has been flying lately and looks like he’s poised to have a big second half.
It’s what I’m here for Mama! Now let’s do it again Wednesday night! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Great attitude and perspective by Gilroy. Kudos to him.
Nothing but class from Gilly. He’s right. He could bi*ch and moan aboot getting scratched, but there’s a lot of people out there who have it worse.
I still like Gilly, and don’t want him to be traded. I sure as hell prefer him over Blowzy. I hope Gilly keeps up this play, and forces Slats to dump Blowzy.
And Step-On RULES!
Four game goal streak. I want him to win the fuggin Calder so badly!
Keep it up!
Sally, did you give Dubi some spoken English lessons. He seems to use less “obviously” already
Ilb, it seems like he got over the “obviously”s a while ago, but then he got stuck on “know what I mean?”s. Lil Man’s never at a lack for something silly to say or do.
If the Islanders can do us a favor and keep Crosby off the board Wednesday I promise to hate them a little less. Actually it’s hard to hate them when they are just so bad. Kind of feels like beating up on a fifth grader.
Oh, boy….I think they’re looking for a hard practice tomorrow…Torts isn’t happy. They need to bring it up a notch against the Devils. 8-2?
Some 5th graders can be carcillos :) they need to be taught a lesson….
OK all, I gotta go. Hitting the road early with my mama for the north. Great night! and good for the MSG crowd that made it and made noise!! I go to sleep with the end of game happy song in my head! TA!!
ilb, you kidding, right ?
Someone from TSN commented: “Del Zotto scratched again and Gilroy’s in, all sorts of fluff from the Rangers announcers about him. So I texted a buddy who’s in the MSG presser. The Rangers are shopping Gilroy and will package him in with Frolov.”
Can this be remotely true? I mean, it seems pretty reasonable but do organizations actually have their announcers “fluff” a player and play the player in order to increase the value on the respective player?
Nope, I’m not, mama. He said he fought they were sloppy lol
Thought…
hmmmm. well then. I admit, I listened more than I saw the game….circumstances being what they are in my house this week :) but OK I guess.
ha! I got fought/thought!
wutwut. I ain’t buying that.
oy, i wicky’d….
i highly doubt someone commenting on TSN has any inside information although I teams (in all sports) will use their announcers to help steer public opinion.
What we possibly get for Frolov n Gilroy that could help us? I have always been ok with Gilroy as 6th or 7th, but he has a bigger $ then he needs. Uncle Glen would have to get a sucker again, but don’t get anything long term back. Frolov is gone after the yr.
It’s called a trial balloon, or BS :)
OK all, seriously, fading to black….Happy Rangers win we beat debbies next eve eve! TA
“do organizations actually have their announcers “fluff” a player and play the player in order to increase the value on the respective player?”
Yes.
Pigman scored a goal tonight. A pig shall be spared each time he scores a goal.
Sadly, not many pigs will be spared. Down to the slaughter house they go!
It’s pathetic that Slats would even consider trading Gilroy over waiving Blowzy. It blowzies my mind!
Has anyone else noticed MSG doesn’t promote the stupid tri-state challenge anymore this year since 2 of those teams happen to be just god awful.
two extremely fluky goals shouldn’t change anyones views on Gilroy. The facts are those were his 1st two goals of the year 2010 and thats simply unacceptable for a guy whose supposed to be great offensively. Maybe all he needs is confidence but his 2 lucky goals tonight really dont show me anything.
He’s too young and inexperienced to play two-three games, then sit for the next eight-ten.
Playing for NYR is only hurting his development, sadly.
We’re supposed to be committed to youth, and we’re supposed “stay the course” and “play within our jam”, yet Blowzy continues to play game in, game out.
Vet leadership? He couldn’t lead a porn star to a fresh hard-on.
Play Gilly! Waive Blowzy.
Don’t want to spoil my own pleasure, but I start worried about Wednesday game. Rangers have a nasty habit to lose after big wins. My hatred to Debbies can be only matched by my love to Rangers and they are now a wounded beast. And despite some disdain shown above, toward them, I wouldn’t underestimate Debbies and see’em to brake losing strike on Rangers. Can’t relax… and enjoy.
new post.
Went to my first game in a while.
Good scouting report from the blog…thanks.
Gilroy was good and Zuccarello was very active.
Evidently, the fans in the Garden were quite intent on expressing their opinion that a certain player named “Potvin” was not very good.
In fact, I did a little research and it would seem obvious that his skills would have diminished considerably being 57 years old.
new post. sorry jimmy.
