first! and carp’d!
oh man, another event I’d LOVE to go to, but can’t afford. Double sigh….
hat trick! hahahahaha
Mama I love that you also love pigeons! Awesome!
Pigeon should be the NY state bird as far as I’m concerned.
Anybody ready some Brett Favre news??
“Brett Favre’s younger sister was arrested in Mississippi today when narcotics agents busted a meth lab hidden in a condo”
Bwaha! Favre curse continues!
Or maybe I should take the money I’m saving and just have fun and worry about keeping the cats in kibble later…...your thoughts all? :)
Mama, you keep pushing, he’ll carp you again
holy moly…that is sad ORR…..
Are you still here, Carp?
bring it on ilb! how you feeling? healing?
ilb, Carp is like Batman….he swoops in, does his good deed, then flies off.
Healed, almost, thanks
glad to hear it doc. check your e-mail….
“he swoops in, does his good deed, then flies off.”
Sounds like a pigeon over Sather’s Statue.

Olga, hartnell you for making me wicky…but LMAO!!!!
“current Rangers” aka the players who said they don’t have plans for that night.

You think we should fire the statue first?
Don’t get me started… 4ever Freud might still be around.
Olga….down….and that’s an order!

and fine, wicky wicky wicky…..
LMAO at Olga
um, tired…...dang
Marji…traitoress!!!!
Olga, you have to say her name 3 times for her to disappear.
Now, if I could skate I’d be there with skates on!
Blogmama….
Sorry, Mama but it was hugely funny.
Blogmama…
Oh! I can’t do it…
Where’d she go?
Far far away?
She probably went to roll up newspaper for tomorrow. Do you think she uses the Journal News….considering….. just wondering
I don’t know. But did you see her make wicky disappear?
you all are so funny…...hartnellers!
it’s so quiet here you can hear a puck drop
Mama, you’re back. I was worried.
Me and Olga felt abandoned. Didn’t we Olga?
Marji, Times is thicker, even on Mondays….
But who can afford to buy it?
Not abandoned… scared!
Poor Wicky…
Let me try it…
Sather, Sather, Sather!
Just like that. Poof!
Het, what am I? A Golubtsy?

You all have fun, I’m fading to black….but just know, mama is always watching, so misbehave at your peril….I”ll get you, and your little dog too! TA!!
(P.S….Marji, not so silent anymore! LOL!!!!)
Hey! Sather IS gone!
Last night you were ilbski. Names change awfully fast in Bonehead land. I started writing them all down to keep track of everybody and what they were saying and what times they were on and whether they were there m – f or saturday and sundays too. But the Folkyerself’s got me so confused… I had to start a family tree for them and it just got too overwhelming.
Anything interesting happen today. Sky falling yet?
I missed all of the conversation today.
Booking a vacation.
Tell me…what happens to MZA when Cally returns?
Tell me…why are feds/bb/prusty on every other shift?
Tell me…why are feds/bb/prusty still together?
I am probably in the minority, but I think feds trade value is as high as it is ever going to be. Time to do something with that.
Or is hockey talk over tonight and I missed it.
He is, Hugo….until Olga brings him back again
Wow! Blogmama must have Nine Lives.
Who’s Sather?
ilb, you are my favorite pigeon!
Marji, don’t try figuring out the Folks tree….it will give you an aneurism…..
Goodnight all!!!!! TA!!!
Paul, I haven’t seen any hockey talk yet. I’m outta here. Niters all.
Everyone be quiet, ilb is trying to sleeeeep..
Why would you trade Fedotenko?
Marji the Folkyerself family tree doesn’t have any branches.
Marji- don’t start with that tree, please….It might awaken their mother.
Paul, MZA stays me think. BB/Prust/Feds are together because they are extremely effective as a unit and their games all compliment each other. And I vote to keep Feds, he hasn’t done anything to hurt this team, he quietly and effectively plays his role, and Torts trusts him.
Make sure you put Mother on the top of the tree!
Gotta go watch the Black Hawks.
Amuse yourselves.
Left wings:
Dubi
WW
MZA/Prust (left shot can play that side)
Avery
when cally returns the right wings will be:
Gabby
Cally
Prust/MZA
Drury (EC will be center-Weise returned to Whale)
If somehow Prospal comes back
Prospal
AA
Step
BB
Feds has value – obviously rangers need healthy returns, but space is at a premium. Not saying he will be traded, but if the Rangers ever get healthy…what happens to MZA – Fourth line or Whale?
Reading ancient Greek would be easier than figuring out the Folkyerself family tree
Yes the BB trio has played extremely well, but I think they get too much ice time. Too much line matching. Match defensemen fine. But they play the same or just as much as guys who obviously need flow and opportunity. MZA is on the verge everynight of a great pass, shot, play. You can see it in his offensive game. More ice time may result in more opportunity.
By the way, I don’t visit the capitols blogs, but do you think fans are screaming to trade AO with his below 30 goal pace. Gabby will score. when he does, he will score a lot. Better that he gets hot down the stretch and in the playoffs.
I like feds for the record. great signing. This is a transition year though.
Fedotenko is one of a few Rangers with great playoff experience. Excellent performer under Torts in Tampa. He isn’t going anywhere unless the Rangers become sellers. And it doesn’t look like it will happen.
Black Hawks lead Col 2-0 after one.
ilb, it’s Batman, er, I mean, Carp. Got your e-mail; trying to figure out how to do it. Any suggestions?
You rule!
... and I check my company e-mail several times a day, if not dozens of times.
Last week I wanted Feds with AA and Gabby.
Thats true – playoffs – and he has played very well this year.
Just think the line gets too much time.
Maybe its just that BB has slipped a bit.
BTW – how many first rounders do the rangers have on the current roster – not drafted by the rangers?
ww/ec/gabby/bb/eminger/McD
anyone else – thats impressive i think
I’ll email you one, Carp. Try to check your email before 2016, please.
Maybe Sather figured he’d have better luck with someone else’s first round picks than his? Where is Olga?
hahahaha…me love ilb and carp….and goodniters all! to quote greg, zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Olga’s watching the Black Hawks…
Hawks scored! 3-0 over Colorado
Paul, all 3 of them have had down games recently, but I think as Torts said today, they are a little tired, and imo, they are all banged up. All of which contributes to the downturn in their play.
It is no secret that Torts wants to add skill where he can…it is why he tried so hard to get EC going. That is why MZA being given every chance to stay up with the big club…i think his play would have to falter for him being sent down..i also think that management is being incredibly flexible and forward thinking…not playing by stringent rules, and letting the play of the individual and team dictate moves…a sort of meritocracy on ice! THAT IS ALL! ...big dubikisses to everyone so they sleep well… AMERICA IS BACK..the RANGERS is BACK…(yes, using ‘is’ incorrectly for emphasis)..get on board little children,..there is room for many a more!!
So me, my wife, and a couple of buddies of mine (who are all Flyers fans) are going to the game on Sunday Night vs. the Flyers.
This is my first ever trip to MSG, so Im super pumped !!
What fellow Boneheads want to meet up for some drinks/shots ??
Skille! 4-0 Hawks in the third…
It it wise to get your shots against Flyers Fans BEFORE you get close to them.
new post … accidentally.
