Good morning, boneheads!
A few more days…
What a long wait…
Have a great day everyone!
ilb, you know bob hates the inane good morning comments!!
Anyhow, good morning all! Seems like a long week with no game till Saturday – think i might have to watch some hockey fights to keep me amused – or maybe just some video of Don Cherry!
Good morning, blog and Good morning, bob!
At least the boys will b well rested and the Islanders play TB tmrw night ….hopefully that means somethin
Hoping this strike continues so I can enjoy more hockey!
Good morning all! Why must I start my day with Ovechkin in my face? Ugh.
How does bob feel about good evening?
Good morning all. Nice to see some NYR making the lists.
Did bob got banned? Will he be allotted second chance? I thought he offered much in the way of discussion at times.
Two note Bob provided a seemingly heartfelt point of view delivered in an antagonistic manner much better served on Ranger Rants. Rumor has it he was just a mellow guy who casually followed the Rangers until the Waivery incident which sparked a deep felt resentment of Torts and the inability to understand his value to the Rangers. Needs to consider decaf as the season is two games old and he has already gone postal.
There is a Waivery band wagon? Are there T-Shirts for sale?
Good morning, Carp!
Good morning, Carp!
Good morning, Carp!
Anybody running iOS 5 yet?
Bob is taking over for Avery for the new leader in page views…ROFLMAO
Good morning, Sally (x3)!
That’s why you’re the awesomest.
Tim Erixon (NYR) at 10/1 –
must be a shallow pool of rooks this year – not sure he will be with club when Staal comes back – at least MDZ hopes Erixon is whaled.
LMAO @ Luongo above Hank!
Unless Staal’s condition was alleviated by the cortisone shot which seems more like a hopeful event, I think he is going to be done for the year. What is the alternative? He comes back, and gets hurt again? How do we know he didn’t further his injury by playing after the initial impact? Wasn’t he iffy for some games down the stretch? They made it seem leg related at the time I think. These guys with concussion issues all come back to play and reinjure. They should shut him down for the whole year, and give the guy a real chance to heal.
ilb, is there any conclusive study showing symptoms that manifest well after initial contact being more detrimental to the brain than those presenting themselves immediately after incident?
Mao – tough to play armchair doctor since every head injury is unique to the individual, unliek say a knee ligament tear. The fact Staal played well when in the lineup last spring makes the recent turn of events puzzling. The man is a warrior.
Definitely err on the of caution with these injuries as a concussion is polite name for a brain bruise and risking further injury is just stupid at this point.
Yea …. The fact that Luongo is on my BENCH in fantasy hockey shows how valuable he is.
One never fully recovers from a concussion.
Sad.summer makes these injuries even more complex.
LeBrongo….hehehe
The team have to be careful with Staal, the short-term gain of getting him back could turn into a long-term loss if he takes another hit and gets shutdown for the year or more. Its a slow process of waiting till symptoms subside and then ramping up the workout intensity and monitoring to see if any further effect, this is why it seems like a series of setbacks.
On the positive side the play of McMonster and the Dan “GIJoe”rardi right now means we are coping OK, but while MDZ and Erixon are still learning we are always going to be a little exposed at times as they need to play 30-35 minutes a night between them.
We really need the 1st line and PP to click to take the pressure off the D and Hank, otherwise it will be a long season of low-scoring close games, OT and shootouts (which will ire Carp even more!)
bob’s news instead of Crosby’s?
bob just moved with Aves, by his mind and soul, and now participate in WR (Whale Report) blog, where he hope to put some pressure on Ken Gernander, persuading him to recognize Sean’s exclusiveness and significant role and to put him on the 1st Whale line. (under threat of resignation). Simultaneously, he opens campaign against WR blog father – Rick Fishiniello, accusing him of potential abuse of ban power. Good luck to our adamant old friend and professional Aves human rights unyielding fighter, in his perpetual struggle against internet despots!
Good to see old JR (not Ewing) is putting his foot in his mouth in a very Don Cherry-esque way. Honestly, why do all commentators take this “Jim Rome” adversarial approach and try to be controversial. Ex-pro’s should be there to offer insight into the game, not criticise because someone wanted to interview the league’s best player on how his head is, even if its no better than last week.
You could make a really awful alternative NHL show with Cherry, Milbury and JR which we could all watch as a joke, then tune into the real stuff. In the UK the premier league soccer shows usually let idiots like this do an “alternative commentary” that viewers can listen to as part of an interactive broadcast, they rarely let them be the face of the show, or failing that give them a niche radio slot.
4ever – you have outdone yourself Mr. Bard.
Manny, all credits goes to bob,- very inspirational subject (object?)
Actually, I agree with JR here. Let the team make reports about Crosby as they come. You don’t see anyone asking Marc Staal every day about his status, yet we are still kept in the loop as the team releases new and relevant information as it becomes available. Why not the same with Crosby?
Mao- short answer is no. Opposite is true- sometimes having significant symptoms on impact doesn’t mean long term injury.
Stranger- there is a difference between concussion and brain bruise ( contusion).
I don’t think he is nearly at the point where they are considering to shut him down for the whole season. At the moment, it sounds like nobody really knows.
Likewise for David Perron, Marc Savard, and pretty much every other player ever who has dealt with a long term concussion.
Hey Carp,
You see today’s Post article about sabermetrics in hockey? Bizarre. I should be editing that rag.
You are all pretty correct about the oddities of concussion and it’s effect on the body, and length of recovery time. And it probably varies by individual’
My only experience was in my teens when we were all standing in a chow line and waiting our turn to go into the mess hall for lunch, and a friend of mine and I got into a horsing around tussle, and sort of wrestling. He was bigger than me ( who wasn’t), and my only defense was to grab him in a tight headlock. I guess that I was applying too much pressure because unknown to me he was panicking, and his only escape was to reach down, grab my pants cuffs and pull my feet from under me.
I went down hard to the ground, face first and the only thing to hit the ground was my chin. It was like an ex-
plosion of pain, and blackness appeared and what looked to me was like standing at the edge of a beach and seeing the blackness of the water rolling in ripples slowly away from me…and then …nothing. I came to, in the mess hall with the large aluminum tray full of food before me and every body yakking all around me, and
noticing that I’d piled my tray heaping with food that I would never normally put on my plate. I said to the guy next to me, ” how did I get in here”? He said “huh” I said that I didn’t recall coming in here, and he said that “you’re crazy, you’ve been talking to us for the past
15 minutes or so. Then it hit me…the blinding headache, and the nausea, and I just made it to the head in time, but that headache stayed with me all that day and a couple of barfs into the night, but the following day it was as if nothing had happened. Never had any other after effects, and never happened again. But I still recall those shimmering dark ripples of a tide going out into blackness.
Gross tweeting that EC AND Zuc appear on a provisional second PP unit at today’s practice. Yikes! Good luck winning the puck back after the odd bad pass (due to bad ice, of course).
But then, the coach does have to find something to keep these talents busy since they’re pretty helpless 5-on-5.
ilb
of course
“LMAO @ Luongo above Hank!”
robert is canadian press favorite
and that should count for something
remember
Jagr carrying the team on his shoulders to
turn the team around
yet thornton gets the mvp
after he was traded from a less talented boston team
he wasn’t interested in anymore
to the more talented san jose?
morning ILB and all!
How the hell am I supposed to follow up a Fran post?
nevermind RIR had to!
ladies and gentlemen, I give you …..”EARL GREY” w/milk!!!
and a hattie for BOB!!
oh what the hell…a bag lady for the bag lady!!
Refresh, Refresh, Refresh !!!
Funny you mentioned ChrisF…Speaking of SABR ( or should it be SAHR?). We have someone on the blog with some serious interest in it and a good amount of knowledge. Maybe we should ask CTB to present some of that to us and continue updating us as the season progresses.
Morning, Wicky!
What do you think of the provisional PP unit with both our little heroes?
LMFAO at this tweet…
DaveLozo Dave Lozo
The left wing spot next to Brad Richards and Marian Gaborik should be called the doorknob, since everyone will get a turn.
RIR
not overly fond of it, I’d rather see MZA on the first and what the hell happened to the “5 forward” PP they talked about in the preseason??? And what happened to “Safe is Death”??? I have yet to see that since the arrival (not trying to sound like BOB here, just asking a question). I mean it all seems rather conservative to me.
I would also like to see Rupp and Prust get some PP time (ha ha that just sounds funny)!
RIR
morning
So Bob is spouting off over at the Whale Report. Blubbering about Avery again? Rick Fishiniello lol
Shouldn’t that be Rick Mammaliniello?

3 more days until Go Time – ugh.
the carp plan is in process…step-on left wing with gabby/brich
at practice that is
dde
LOL
cccp
you really want out of the football league?
oops, I did it again! Hattie and a bag lady for the laureling bag lady!!
Wicky:
All your PP options sound more reasonable than putting the two egg merchants out together (in matching sailor suits) and expecting them to rough it up and retrieve loose pucks in the offensive end.
I think the coach is trying a little too hard to rationalize his unbalanced roster.
can’t believe nystrom cleared re entry waivers…thought dallas would pick him up for sure
“The left wing spot next to Brad Richards and Marian Gaborik should be called the doorknob, since everyone will get a turn.”
or better yet.. Elisha Cuthbert

I agree

the other
question
Hi everybody! Hope you are all having wonderful Wednesdays. I am feeling ready for some hockey time.
hello sally
Good afternoon, Sally!
Hi Wicky! How are the little ones?
Uh…is this a good thing?
thenyrangers: Woywitka also says that Michael Del Zotto has taken him under his wing here in New York, transporting him & showing him around
Wick, I just got two today. Mission To Marzipan [again] and this new one called “Cinnamon Bun”
I’m aboot to inhale one of them.
I just read that the FBI arrested the celeb phone hacker. Real shame! I wish the loser would have released more pics before they got to him. He better have passed down his skills to one of his students!!
LOL! Roenick is complaining aboot all the Crosby updates.
sally
good and growing like weeds!! Looney tunes on two different tvs though….suffering succatash!!
orr
let me know how they are!!
Hi Doodie! How are things?
Biron’s a Bills fan, huh? Nice!—->
They’re going well. I figured since Carp wasn’t around I would help him out.
Good for JR! At least he’s brave enough to say something! Enough is enough!
Good afternoon, Sally!
thanks, Doodie.
Torts can send me a check when this Stepan thing works out.
My magnificent wife just got me a Callahan jersey from the NHL store…but for some reason, it doesn’t come with a C and they refuse to put one on. Anyone know about their policy, and where I can get a legitimate C sewn on?
is Cosby’s still in business?
I saw a video of Bill Cosby eating a chilli dog. Ugghh! You know how much I hate it when I see old people eating!!!
Just the other day, I saw my great grandma getting spoon fed squashed bananas! The horror! The horror!!
Carp
yes, Cosby’s still in business. Only they moved across the street from the Garden.
well, as far as I know, they will put a C on your jersey at Cosby’s, Adam.
Blueshirt Banter saying that Stepan practicing on first line.
That wouldn’t be too bad. Where did I hear that suggestion? hmmm
BBT! (‘Bout Byfuglien Time)....
Thanks for the good idea, Carp.
you can add the “C” to Callahan’s jersey if you buy from the NHL store online
... or you can take it off your Drury jersey.
1940! – we asked, but the NHL store said they wouldn’t do it.
The NHL online store, I should say.
Carp, I wish you could actually do that. I have an authentic Drury jersey that’s just collecting dust these days.
Seriously, does anybody know if there is a process by which they can change the name and number on a jersey? I highly doubt it! Probably cheaper ($350) to buy a new one!
having Dubinsky with Callahan and Anisimov makes a whole lot more sense. I hope Stepan plays well with Richards and Gaborik because I think he has the potential to be a far better player than Dubsinky.
thats weird thats how i got mine a few weeks back
Did they charge you extra for it? Maybe i’ll call and complain.
no Drury jersey can be deemed authentic unless it has a few pizza sauce stains from “Colony Grill” pizzeria!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sLo6LYpCy3Q
i just chose the blank jersey then added callahan’s name from the list of players they give you and then added the “C”.......went through no problem
total was $180 i think
Go ahead… do it …. you know you want to ….

Good evening all! When did waseka got to court to change names???? Do we pronounce Voyvita like Wolski? I am so confused..
wicky, no fair bag manning and wickying when I’m not around to play!!!!
LMAO@ nose flute!
I’ve more than a little sympathy for Roenick’s view – certainly less adismal than usual. But there’s just a miniscule bit of irony about the guy saying people should stop interviewing somebody because he has nothing to say that is worth listening to.
Just emailed you back, mama
ilb, you are the most tremendously tremendous man on the planet. I am speechless, and we know that takes a lot :)

are you following “Carped 4 Life” Fantasy league? yeah? yeah?! few players on your team are IR eligible…get serious!
Wait what? That’s me! I just updated that! Don’t get all over my butt. I have a few leagues to manage here!
OH SURPRISE. They are on my bench! I am not a big believer in BENCHES in fantasy sports. Who cares who is on my bench. My team that is currently on the ice wil stomp you.
Er, I write a new post marginally less frequently than Defending The Core, so nobody should hold their breath. I’ll happily volunteer now to do my regular gig for the Stanley Cup Final Game Five guest post again.

Wow…Luongo is terrible…
ilb, from what I’ve read (and I’m still a crackberry girl ) you should update. Can’t find it now (my eyes!) but great column in NYT business section today about it. Apparently, it’s all about Siri ?
Let’s see how Luongo is against us :)
Pronger with 2 points tonight… Jagr with an assist…It’s 2-0 Philly in the first….
Wow…Jagr is looking good…but I do wonder if I’ll be saying the same thing in April….
Niters all. Yes, still jet lagged….can’t wait til Saturday!!!! Please win boys!!! I’ll wear my jersey at home :)
No, CCCP! Please. Spare me!
NYR ( a wicky) you won’t be saying the same thing in January…:)
LOL! Mama, I thought wicky hated Jags…
NYR, I know Jags is great yadda yadda yadda…
But, here’s my feelings in a nutshell….hated Pen…came to Rangers, OK, blah….then gone…he is not my man, and now he’s a Filth!!! Argh! No mama love, sorry….
Yup…can’t disagree!!
TA!
Shite me for bag manning, again…but NYR…mama love!
Ta, Mama!
My boy H.Sedin!!! Goal and an assist! Keeping me alive
Huge…baby Jagr scores!!! Jake V!!
10.8 points tonight for me so far…
13.3 for me! Still 20 behind Sally. Dammit!
Prospal is turning out to be a pretty decent pickup for me. He’s scoring some good points. He picked up another assist.
I know he’s injury prone, but I would have taken him back in a heartbeat. If he continues to play like he has, he’ll be good trade bait at the deadline, assuming the Jackets can’t make it, which, in my opinion, they wont.
Higgins scores!
Two goals for him in the season! Haha!
LOL! Higgins just put Vancouver within 1!
Yeah, Prospal is a good pickup, Orr…
Ohh, Jagr robbed!!
How is it Dale Weiss is good enough to make the Vancouver roster, yet we can waive him??
Robbed twice, actually!
Gerry, that just shows that we have depth, and the Nucks don’t have that.
I like Weise, but he’s nothing but a 4th liner for us. Not the biggest loss.
I liked the Weise-Sturm-Hodgson line…
Gerry…better questions would be:
Why now has Chris Higgins decided to score big goals (after he leaves the Rangers)?
and why he couldn’t buy a goal when he was with the Rangers?
Because he’s a NYR fan.
Don’t trade for, sign and/or draft NYR fans
Drury
Higgins
Sanguinetti
Jessiman
Enough said
2-0 Canes
Bruins suck!
LMAO! The Canes have the best goal song

Nice shot by Seguin!

ILB
I downloaded it, pretty sweet
Canucks sure are getting a lot of PP chances to tie this one up – not capitalizing on them, though…
C’mon, H.Sedin!! Score!
Another PP! – if the ‘nucks lose this game, it’s their own fault!
‘Nucks Sux!!
Flyers win! Gross!
All the teams in our division are winning…... :-(
by the time we play again the pens and flyers will have the div clinched. we get zero help this year
This bullcarcillo start of the season in Europe blows! Between that and the Garden’s renovation, we’re starting the season way behind the 8-ball!
now there’s the eric we know and love.
TRADE EVERYONE!!
Luongo surely looked like Vezina is his to lose this year…
Thanks, Wicky….So did I. Will play with it tomorrow.

Oh? The NHL season started already? When is the next “Original Six matchup”?
ROFL…some of the funniest stuff yet!! the negative nancies are going bonkers even when we don’t play games for days!! roflmao…hysterical!! you feel me, sons?
mama, well said on Jagr… any Flyer is not our kinda guy! Philly is a cesspool.
So how do you download the new iOS for iPhone?

Yep, never that big of a jagr fan at any point in his career. He is a deserving first ballot hall of famer for his offencive skills. But he has never won anything as the undisputed team leader (aka not as a Captain), he is a good wingman or complementary piece, but not a good leader. He plays 1/3 of the ice surface when he feels like it and that is about it. He is given waaaaaay to much credit for the post lock out success of our rangers. He does deserve some credit, but not any more than hank, renney, or even avery (who was far more valuable his first stint here than his second).
not trying to prompt discourse here, just stating my opinion in response to a post or two earlier!
Night aasens!!
I rather have Jagr who plays 1/3 of the ice surface but is a constant threat every time he’s out there than half of the softiest on the curent roster.
Just stating my opinion…that’s all.
Who cares what kind of leader Jagr was? What matters is that he was a great Ranger…and that is not so easy to achieve.
I would have welcomed Jags back, for a one year while we wait for the arrival of our saviour Jesus Kreider.
But as a Flyer he will now get the customary boos, until he leaves them (not that he will hear my boos from 3500 miles away!).
