The Rangers and Flyers on New Year’s Day in Philly, and not in the Arena That Changes Names Every Five Minutes, but in the Phillies’ ballpark.
And also Rangers/Flyers on HBO’s 24/7 …
In case you missed it, that was on Darren Dreger’s Report yesterday. Not official. Not done. Rangers’ participation not even certain.
But that’s the speculation. Sounds like fun to me (though I might have to miss some of the annual Honeymooners and Three Stooges Marathons).
What do youse think?
It was never going to happen here because Yankee Stadium is booked with college football, they don’t want to do it at Bailout Ballpark, er, Citi Field, and they don’t want to do it in New Jersey.

Adam Proteau of The Hockey News did a list of top 10 Game 7 performances, and somehow left out Matteau, Matteau, Matteau and included Mark Messier vs. Vancouver. Even though whether he scored the GWG is still largely debated.

First. I already know what I’m having for lunch tomorrow…:D
AWESOME! if true of course
I would absolutely lose it if there was a NYR/PHI 24/7. I would also have to make my way down to the city of Broaderly Love.
I’d love it….Let’s hope it’s true.
Yes, it would awesomely awesome…
it would be*
It’ll be awesome…if we can burn Philadelphia to the ground afterward…
Seriously…what the hell is this league’s obsession with Pennsylvania? First it’s the PlayPens in Buffalo, then it’s Philly in Boston, then the Pens get their own classic. Has Bettman ever hear of New York? Yankee Stadium? Hell, the new Shea? Doesn’t the NHL have its friggin’ offices here? And why not, if you really want to stir things up, have the Rangers face off against the Islanders? Seems like a no-brainer to me.
Hopefully there would be an opportunity for Ranger Season ticket holders to get an early crack at tickets.
phil, can’t at Yankee Stadium, nobody wants to have it at Citi, and the NHL/NBC need separate TV markets involved, thus no Rangers-Islanders or Rangers-Devils (and no Canadian teams).
Why couldn’t the pinstripe bowl just be played on some other day, like January 3rd? I’m just saying. I’m sure it all has to do with money, but what a joke.
Here’s a better idea (IMHO): Flyers vs. Rangers at New York’s Central Park! HOW BOUT THEM APPLES BIG APPLE???
where you gonna put 50,000 people?
I dunno Carp, build some seating around one of the rinks or take over one of the bigger ballfields. Of course they would have to build seating, but it could happen, couldn’t it? :/ I think it would be awesome.
For example, the North Meadow is HUGE.
as a season tix holder if i get shut out of getting tix i will raise havoc.
as for tonight the storyline is this.
if the sharks lose thornton and marleau careers will be remembered for collapsing once again.
the fallout of the sharks fading again will be much better then if they win.
i want drama
Sharks are winning.
by the way redskins at eagles jan 1st.
no way league has game at the citizens bank park at same time. they share same parking lot. i go there for eagle games.
doubit nhl plays on new years day with nfl scheduled
god i hope tonight is awesome. dont need a blowout
would probably be a really bad idea to have Winter Classic up against NFL on TV anyway, right?
It’s really just hockey fans that watch it anyways, isn’t it? Hockey’s not really considered a real sport, is it? So what does it matter that it’s up against anything?
There do exist companies that install temporary tiered grandstands…how awesome would Central Park be? I’ll never stop dreaming…
Sharks-Red Wings Game 7! The BS stops when the puck drops.
Hey, anybody know what time the Lakers game is on? BWAHHAHhahahaa
Except for Pierre McGuire between the benches…
It’s Go Time!
My big issue is that it isn’t all that cold on New Years in philly. At Least consistently. Ice is going to be a disaster, although it will give NBC a chance to film a lot of “Here’s how we make ice” promo video montages.
yes ilb its go timeeeeeee
go wings.
i want a storyline tomo morning. sharks choke again.
marleau=gutless
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO its NOT “GO TIME” . Go Time is exclusively only for New York Ranger games ilb.
Sorry but its a no go for go time.
Got it, Greg….Sorry. It’s a Great Hockey Time! Better?
It’s Go Time for Sather….
Where is HE going, Olga?
LMAO @ Clowe’s undisclosed injury. In other words, he wasn’t sure what hit him…
I don’t care ilb, but it’s time to go…
Red Wings win this game. But I’ll gladly have Carp be right this one time :)
Fire Sather! Fire Micheletti! Fire Maguire!
Geez, how many Datsyuks are on the ice?
Is everyone that’s big, called big? Big Hal Gill, Big Ben Eager, Big Harry Wiggles.
If Datsyuk plays more shifts against Ben Eager, this one will be over by the first intermission…
Big Bad Wolf?
Not only are the Wings good, but, they almost all have great beards. Although Sally tops all.
Emrick isn’t so bad when he’s not immaturely and bitterly throwing digs at the Rangers every 2 minutes.
OMG you guys are hilarious with this lunch contest business! Amazing!
So, Olga, Sather is going to be visiting with Rangers fans this weekend at the Buffalo Wild Wings near Main St. in White Plains. You gonna go shake his hand? :)
wings need to weather the storm. it was going to come
Setosmoochy!
San Jose scores first.
game over season over trade everyone
Good looking PP. 1-0
Teddy, I guess I will have to miss that one. I have something more important to do. I have to worm the cat.
Belated … R.I.P. Bill Gallo.
That’s quite a breakdown to have in a game 7
Looks like Big Joe came to play tonight.
RIP Gallo. Carp, you ever heard of Frank Brown? When reading your newspaper stories, you have a similar style compared to Brown.
jumbo joe career is defined by tonight
Big Douglas Murray, LOL!
terrible turnoverrrrrr
SCORE! Couture! Terrible giveaway! A Ranger-esque giveaway!
That giveaway has gotta hurt…
2-0 Sharks
Wow, couple of defensive blunders by Detroit on the same shift. 2-0
any chance we could trade for zetterberg off of that horrific giveaway
Thank you, Ted. Frank and I are still very close. I consider that a gigantic compliment.
Couture = Monster
Had no idea Sharks drafted him 9th overall in 2007
Why does Versus consistently embarrass themselves by allowing JR to attempt to speak English?
Melrose the clown probably still thinks there is no home ice advantage in Game 7’s after watching the 1st period.
What is this guy smoking and how does he and Barnaby have jobs on espn? They contribute nothing that we already know.
That Couture kid really looks great – he has a really nice shot.
If this score holds, 2-0 sharks, then i will have won the round two prediction contest. I really thought i would never win a contest on here but my odds are looking good right now. Im surprised nobody chose bolts,bruins,sharks and canucks to advance besides me
And then you win that blind date with Stevie Wonder….
Not so fast…
game onnnnn
Score Detroit. I have seen this before….
Don’t count out Detroit just yet!
Let’s Go, Antii Niemi- you’re not in Kansas anymore.
as much as sharks have controlled play wings down a goal not bad place to be
Upper body injury?
All the way up there, Olga….
Helm should be suspended for that hit ;)
Hudler, CCCP. Blindsided hit
And Hudler too! :D
on a side note.
some good news in regards to Manny Malhotra
http://aol.sportingnews.com/nhl/story/2011-05-12/vancouver-canucks-manny-malhotra-returns-to-practice
is it really any surprise that philly is involved
since comcast owns the team and the tv network.
btw,
hope someone bothered to count the number of
cursewords from boudreau
i think there could be an over/under bet
happening in regards to Tortorella
I can’t wait for Rangers 24/7 on HBO!
Yes, good news jpg. It’s been about 6 weeks, so by now they have a good idea whether his vision fully recovered. Playing is probably less important for him this year.
That’s encouraging for Manny…
Avery and TV cameras…oh boy!
Wow, Edzo!
GOALS?
IN THE NATIONAL HOCKEY LEAGUE PLAYOFFS?
Blaspheme. He’s definitely missing the Rapture now.
if there is two thing we learned tonite
datsuyk is unreal
marleau=gutless= most overrated player. i wouldnt touch his 6 mil dollar contract
jr=moron
update
according to phillyburbs.com via ranger rants rangers/flyers mon jan 2nd at citizens bank park
how disrepectful!!
what! we’re not good enough to
play on New Year’s Day!!!
either that
or i can actually
sleep in that day.
good deal!!!!
redskin at eagles jan 1st nhl had no choice. share same complex
on another side note.
watching joe thornton
not take the shot
reminds me of how the
media really really really
goes out of its way to praise him.
yes
that was a great pass to setagouchi for the first goal
and he is having a better series against detroit
but
i think this may be the first year he’s actually showing some
life rather than a marleu-ness about his play
and yes,
i’m still peeved that he received the player of the year award
over Jagr. (a good player craps out and gets traded to an
even better team and SURPRISE he does much better
whereas Jagr put the Rangers on his back ALL year!!)
That was an awesome pass from Zetterberg. Too bad Kronwall couldn’t bury that.
eric
is that the last week of nfl season?
seems like it would be nfl playoffs time
The Sharks are a bunch of Euro-Pansies…....screaming for the penalty call on the Slash. Come on! Kill that PP like an Powerful American Man!
That was a Gutless goal!
Ouch!
jpg
yes week 17 last game of nfl season is sun jan 1st
what a goallllll this guy is god
......if there is a season, eric.
if there is a season…...
3-2
Gonna be an exciting 6 minutes…
Jeez! An amazing shot….
niemi picked a bad time to give up a bad goal.
datsyuk=monster
These new sticks are a joke!
If you give them a dirty look, they break!
Datsyuk, “best player in hocky, not cindy”
so says
jpg’s sister
new post.
Wow!! Sharks!
Sorry, NYR.
new post with new info on the Winter Classic.
I have no problem with calling a guy overrated. But to call a guy gutless, like Marleau, is beyond stupidity. Stick to calling cheap shot artists like Cooke and Carcillo gutless. Not Marleau. Gutless Marleau with the Game 7 winner.
YES!!!! Last year’s 3-0 collapse remains!!!!
Ah, well – they tried…...I have lots of respect for that Detroit team. They always come to play the game.
Sharks win!!! Good for them!
SJ – Nucks will be some series! Winner of this series will win the cup
still wondering about a possible Vancouver Tampa
series//what a travel schedule.
Carp, I recorded all the games in the 94’ Cup run and I replayed that Game 7 goal by Mess and I will emphatically state it was Adam Graves’ goal!!! Quick story; took my 6 year old daughter to Cronies to meet Gravy & donate a Toy For Tots. So, we sit down next to him and he’s all talkative and nice to me & my daughter. She loved him even though she was only 6. But I couldn’t help myself and said to him, “You know you scored that Cup winning goal, not Mess.” He ended our time together and said, “Next”. If looks could kill, I’d be a dead man!! True story.

I’m saddened to hear #Rangers Derek Boogaard was found dead early this morning. A formal announcement is expected as early as tonite.
