“Great review Carp. Thanks to a link over at SNYRangersBlog…I got to read this excellent write-up.
I just might have to start coming to this blog again. The self imposed ban had nothing to do with you personally. It was the incessant Dubi bashing by certain individuals that got on my nerves during training camp.
Keep up the good work.”

Nice to see so many confident Rangers fans rooting against their team.
Wow completely missed the irony of Dallas’ season ending in Minnesota. That is hilarious.
Rangers in 6!!
rangers in 7
prust in ot
there is zero chance the Kings beat the Sharks without Kopitar and Williams. not enough offense to match the Sharks are 3 lines deep
Hey carp toooooooo late save ur picks. Lol
Obviously, I’ll be rooting like hell for NYR….. but I’ve got to be realistic as well.
eric, you’re starting to come around. you sense no doom here? good job, buddy.
Blaze, glad to have you back. There’s still a little bit of Dubinsky-bashing, but not much.
Again, if we have time to organize a contest I’ll ask youse all to post your first-round picks at that time.
Carp, will LoHud splurge and send you to DC?
Mr Carp goes to Washington?
will Jimmy Stewart play you, Carp?
Sharks are chokers. They’ll choke again.
Well, it goes without saying that I’ll be rooting for the Bolts to knock off the Pens!
Rangers in 6!
Caps are a joke….Rangers should get home ice in this one.
the sharks will choke again, that is true. but not against an injury depleted Kings team. the games vs Anaheim this weekend were good indicators of how the Kings are up against it offensively.
Same here. Fugg the Pens!
Rangers in 7!
Poor Murray.
Let’s Go Rangers!
Let’s Go Black Hawks!
No conflict until the finals…
Watching the Comedy Awards on Comedy Central. Eddie Murphy got some Icon award or some BC, and they showed a montage of his work prior to him coming out. After the montage was over, the crowd was chanting “Eddie! Eddie! Eddie!”
It was pathetic compared to a different Eddie chant.
FIRE SATHER- we need a human sacrifice for the playoffs. Sather is close enough…
Rangers needed to stay alive and won.
Hurricanes needed to win to clinch and lost.
Blackhawks needed to win to clinch and lost.
Stars needed to win to clinch and lost.
Rangers were the only team that needed to win their last game and won.
the schedule will be announced on NHL network in about 8 minutes
Rangers in any number. Rangers OBVIOUSLY.
Adam, we’re discussing it with the bean-counters. There are some other issues, too. So Games 1 and 2 are possible, but Games 5 and 7 if needed are almost definite … and if we skip Games 1 and 2 and the Rangers advance, I think I’ll go to all the rest of the games through the parade.
hearing nbc for game 3 sun afternoon at 3pm
LMAO, Olga….
well get our redemption, rangers in 6. Buffalo in 7. Boston in 6. Tampa in 7. Canucks in 5, sharks in 7, wings in 7, ducks in 6.
