Hey, Nail Yakupov is in NHL12. I’m gonna draft him 1st overall. LOL! It’s funny, I didn’t have to trade Stahl for the 1st overall pick, all I had to do was trade Wolski, and a 2017 1st and 2nd rounder!
I should be GM of NYR!
Bunch of naysmayers!
S. mayer happens to be Carp’s editor for those who don’t remember & he is a Rangers fan to boot!
Is he a know it all? Because we don’t accept anyone who’s not a know it all!
lmao JBytes
So, I guess Valentenko will be heading back to Russia? He turned out to be a bust, didn’t he?
I know plenty, and I appreciate all the derivatives of my first initial and last name.
I hope he doesn’t. I’m sick of these Euro Pansies having a hissy fit when they don’t make an NHL team, then fly back to Russia, Sweden, or where ever the hell they came from.
Dorks. That better not be the case with him. I wouldn’t really care though. McDonut is better, and we have a lot of depth on D.
It is disappointing – these guys obviously have some talent, and all the scouts who rated them highly (like central scouting) can’t all be making things up – I wonder why so many can’t seem to make the big team?
Isn’t it obvious, Jimbo? The real scouts are the ones that sit behind a computer on blog! Dammit!
Trade something!
a*
Hahaha!!! You’re right!
Jeez, I’m no expert – I’d better get off this blog!
By the way I wasn’t trying to be a smarty pants or wise aassan @ 4:32 but remember this site& blog was about the only one that didn’t go on “hiatus” over the summer even when Carp couldn’t “be around” so thanks again Sean Mayer for allowing Carp to run this place He really does a great job at all hours of the day or night! A real keeper in your organization if you ask me
now back to being silent lol
lol Ria
So vtank and ktek gone already? Nice to see mcilrath stick around! And the bahama bomba. Is thuresson still here?
Thanks for the post mr Mayer! We kid because we love!
Hattie
I think Thurreson is still here. I thought I saw his name on NYR’s site. Probably see him against Philly.
Orr
Hope so, I thought he would be a good 4th liner. Him or the bahama bomba!!
Sather wasn’t cut? Weird…
Anyone wanna give me tips on tonight’s fantasy draft, since I have NO clue what I am doing?
Oh, and really good game last night by the boys. Richards is better than advertised, me thinks.
Advice for ya Mickey. Just be beautiful as always, you cant go wrong!
The tank turned into a smart car. Valentenko has had his kicks at the can, I doubt he sticks around for long.
Mickey
Just pick all the fighters
McIlbeast – yeah baby! When is flyer game?
Tiki! You’re gonna make me blush!
wicky, I am not surprised you said that :)
I think the Flyers game is on Monday.
Didn’t cut Christensen…..bummer
It’s better this way, Bloomer. Wouldn’t you rather have him make it to the end, only for Torts to crush his hopes and dreams right before the start of the season?
Yeah, that’s cold, but I don’t care!! Bwaha!
I suppose the same applies for Avery.
anyone in my hockey league, the draft is kicking off NOW!!
wish the rangers were playing preseason tonight…
you know what really sucks…blows carillo…
...seeing Michele Obama speak for the nhl…nuff to make me sick…WTB!!!
I don’t get it…
Ria, I think I like you better when you’re not silent. Thank you.
Good evening, Sally!
Not sure whats wrong with the First Lady promoting hockey….
Most of you hooligans cant stand that hockey takes a back seat in America.
thanks everyone and don’t the boys leave for europe after the monday night game??
I think people watch sports to escape from reality. That includes politics. Nothing like watching hockey players kick the crap out of each other after a long day at work. Go Rangers GO!
hooligans??? I resemble that remark!!
Hi Carp
lol wicky. Well you guys can bet your lives hockey wont be taking a back seat anymore…
Someone bring me dinner. I’m too lazy to get off the couch, lol.
I’d send you some Ben & Jerry’s, but I don’t share this stuff!
Mickey,
You get a lunch point for not having dinner!
Wickster.
im having susi for dinner
sushi!!
the wasabi i clearing my sinuses. watery eyes! omg im never putting that green crap on it again
Grabby, you should have done this with the wasabi. It’s so much better

Actually, here’s a better link

Orr, that’s just a mean tease!
I got a lunch point finally. YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sushi? Ewwwww.
I might go with late night Ramen. That qualifies as food. Right?
Hell yeah, Mickey. I had Chilli flavored Ramen the other day. It was awesome!
I don’t think I ever tried sushi before. Looks pretty gross, if you ask me!
Good night, Carp!
Mickey, ramen was my midnight snack last night. Today my dinner was a hot dog (at Oktoberfest), then a donut and a hobo pie at a bonfire. I feel kinda gross.
Does Weise need to pass waivers to be sent down?
Never tried sushi before?! Wtf? You’re missing out for sure ;)
Bob
He didn’t have to last year…is something different this year?
Mmm, OKtoberfest. I also have a cupcake from earlier in the week. That will be dessert
LOL! I went to a Sushi place once for some annoying family get-together, and I ordered Chicken. Everyone looked at my like I had a dog skull humping me.
CCCP, yes, his entry level contract finished last season.
That means we got to either trade him or keep him as a 14th forward or risk losing him for nothing.
He has looked much better this preseason, it would suck if let’s say the Devils grab him off waivers.
