Game 22. Start of a quick two-game Souteastern swing.
Ya boys on a three-game winning streak and 10-2 in their last 12.
Martin Biron starts in goal. We expect the same lineup, otherwise, with Erik Christensen and Anton Stralman prucha’d and Bel Biv Deveaux having been sent to Connecticut (AHL).
The Canes have a brand new coach in Kirk Muller, and an even newer assistant in one-time Ranger John MacLean as the NHL coaching carousel has begun spinning. The Rangers beat the Paul Maurice-guided Hurry-canes 5-1 on 11-11-11 (a game in which Brandon Dubinsky scored a goal!).
Also, in case you weren’t aware, and in case the telecast doesn’t get a chance to explain this: Marc Staal has another brother in addition to Jordan of the Penguins. Eric, captain of the Hurry-canes, is also the one who caused Marc’s concussion, and who has had a dreadful season so far. Just so you know.

Anyone know what Jeff Skinner used to do as a kid?
The Carolina Hurricane coaching staff has a real Devil feel to it with Muller, Johnny Mac, and Dave Lewis. Where’s the little ball of hate in Pat Verbeek when they need him and he has a Hartford Whale connection as well, perfect fit.
Rangers 5
Carolina 1
SOG: Rangers 38, canes 20

Does anyone remember the name of the Jersey site that used to be posted on this site? I think it was last year around the holidays.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
a great line that would have been…Paddy Verbeek/Esa T./THE AVERY…..annoying…nasty…and loads of skill
my bruthas…..jah…...
That’s true Eddie. That would be one annoying line and probably would score 20+ goals as a line.
jah live….u know what I’m sayin’, mon?
low 60’s …no wind….golf/tennis weather…....my brutha, – yo ready fo my assen?

Hey, do you guys remember a couple of those dot.com asshats saying that Ryan trade was imminent? Another lesson to us all about who to believe and who to not believe.

Let’s go boys!!!
Staaaaaaaaaaaaaaal!!!!!!
morg – how is yo fishermon’s assen?
This Staal interview looks like a guy who is just happy to be doing a media scrum because it’s at least a sense of some hockey normalcy. Can’t imagine when he says a “bad day” what that means, not getting out of bed? Leaving the apartment?
my mood is kool….know what i am sayin?
Winter Classic? The Rangers are involved with the Winter Classic? I was wondering when somebody was going to let us in on this news.
yo Eddie,whatup!
Carp – I would say you could make WC references a drinking game, but you’d be creating alcoholics.
HW – bad day more line spinning, dizzy, and nausea…..head hurts aint kool
uh-huh….what is the werd on crosby…he ok?
where is that guy that was quantifying stawhll’s injury….he was 96.83544526364 sure that it was a pinched nerve…
Yup, pinched nerve.
eddie, what’s up? did I miss something?
Where is everyone tonight? Other then Eddie bringing his usual ummm…different take on things, the lack of energy here kinda has me thinking of the lack of energy towards this one our boys will show.
is there anyone on the canes we can fight in the first 4 minutes of the game to insure a victory?
Harrison maybe?Sick em Pruster!
Picking up the car from an oil change then straight home.
Evening gang!

Staal. I always wear mine in his absence.
would you say CT has a plethora of Blushirts ,Jeffe?
>>Anyone know what Jeff Skinner used to do as a kid?
Umm…umm…I’m not sure. I’ll wait for the MSG broadcast crew to tell us.
Do you know, what a plethora is?
Heya eddie!
ugh, stupid cable is not showing the game. most annoying when i have to unplug and plug it back in!
Id say Dubi needs your mojo the mostest there CTB,dude needs a hatty so Barry can start tearing into AA.
He-Man! Boom!
Carp – i was responding to HW’s thoughts as to what constitutes a bad day for brutha stawl…....myself,,,,i spin all of the time…but it aint from concussions :)
they call me El Guapo!Nasty!..well I call me e lGuapo,just ask my ma!

LET’S GO RANGERS!!!!
new drinking game,a shot of rum for every “give a 50k car for the holidays commercial!
Carcillo housed by the 10 minute mark!
Did anyone mention drinking game? I’m in! LW is out…
Let’s Go Rangers!!!
Let’s Go Rangers!
(This could be a let-down game, Prust Sayin’)
awe sheet
beer-on….beer-on….beer-on
Ow!!!!!
Just like that…
Jeez…someone wake up Beer-on…
Let’s Go Rangers!!!!!!!!!! Beer-on!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Crap that was fast!!!!!!!!!! Booooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Beer-ON!
Uh-oh. From my lips to Tlusty’s ears…
poop
That was a buzz-kill….
ok, it’s early but the rangers have come out flat.
decline the penalty!
olga – hear the new acoustic evidence on RFK and sirhan cubed
Beer-On gets beat by the only NHL player with a leaked nude picture. Trade him!
Cally!
Cally!
Nice ANSWER!!!
Cally Cally Cally!
Yeah…get after it!
oh yeah
woooohoooo….CALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That’s how you respond, Captain. 1-1.
Callaman!!!
that’s better and IT’S A POWER PLAY GOAL!!!!
A Thomas Holmstrom esque PPG for Cally!
maloney said, round the outside…huhuhuh iuhuhuh huhuhuh uhuhuhuh
Wow! How about this Rangers power-play? Not bad, eh?
Boiler needs to get rough,friggin gentle ben..
Good Lord, no connection and I miss everything??? GRRR
why use the 3rd d pair with the 4th line?
this might be a 21-17 game
3:30 into game and game could already be 3-3
4th line is great defensively
I really hope Cally can play the whole season without injury.
mickey listen to the radio feed
I say we could see a plethora of goals.
hello everybody!
Vid and audio are back! But its the Canes ‘cast.
Me no like!
Wow….Stewart pushing Boil around like a blow up doll…
man Boyle seems weaker this season
i’m glad we got the pp goal
with that great pass by Richards
but i’m still angry
that MDZ
skipped shooting
on 3 occasions.
if he’s not gonna bother drop him.
argh!!
(bad day, folks!)
I thought Erik Staal went ufa and signed with the Leaves?
Where’s the fuggin interference on Mitchell??
ITS A PPG! TRADE SOMEONE! lol jk jp
They made sure not to miss that trip!
BOO. Dumb penalty
gee, so eric staal took the firing of coach
worse than
putting his brother’s career in
jeopardy?
C’mon, Prust! Don’t take penalties….
i don’t understand why Torts
doesn’t ever use Avery on the pk
you would think his speed would help out
i know that there’s the fear of a penalty
but if he’s “playing” than why not?
Ping!
jimbo – THE PRUST could score a shortie while serving his own penalty
Jpg, he’s not great defensively, so it’s not worth the risk.
Richard$$$ = Bu$$$t
Callaman breaking things!!
Cally broke the arena!
what’s the score?
Carp – Actually, you forgot about Jared Staal, who is still in the A, and is now actually with our old ECHL affiliate which was changed to the Hurricanes’ AHL affiliate, the Charlotte Checkers. Will MSG mention this?
Brad Richards= perfect fit
Despite giving up the goal, GAS line has had some good looks this period.
The Boys in white are shooting! Who are those guys?
Canes winning 1-1
1-1, Observer…
Aves!! Come on!!
Good shift by the 4th line.
rangers have the best 4 lines in all of hockey….now that hags and the former attorney general are on the big club
Nice shift by that line making big bad Eric and the figure skater play defense.
Rangers losing 1-1 :P
Avery rules?
PP for NYR!
I despise that Carton duchenebag!
I’m joking BTW Observer, evidenced by my Richards jersey belonging to my plethora of Blueshirts.
Who gave Carton a Ranger jersey? He’ll bitch about it all night long…
Eddie – They and the B’s have the most 4 line depth in Eastern Conference.
I was unsure about buying a Winter Classic jersey before. But now I’ve seen Boomer and Carton wearing them, I’ve ordered 500 of them.
Boomer and Cockroach…
every time i hear the ‘canes tlusty’s
name mentioned
it makes me think that Sam is saying
the Polish entree
like halushki
Dammit! Gabby almost had one there…
CTB – my sista plethora has a son named obsequious….we call him qui…
PP looked good, despite no goal.
say hello to my lil friends, you lil cock-a-roach
Boomer and Cartoon.
I just bought a winter classic jersey because of this:
http://bit.ly/uJ1CeN
They don’t teach that in figure skating school.
Unbelievable!
Darn it
Dammit!! Toe-pick…..
8 seconds left… Not good.
freak
I had a feeling the Canes were gonna score. Fuggin 4th line!
Boo…
TERRIBLE GOAL!! 8 secs left. Faceoff loss killer!
6.1 seconds last game, 8 seconds this game – bummer supreme….
NYR_FAN: You should have bought hers…
‘k, this is starting to become a bad habit.
The Rangers will be fine if there are no more faceoffs in their end for the rest of the game.
uh oh. skinner got some space.
we have to get that one right back in the second.
>>>I just bought a winter classic jersey because of this:
http://bit.ly/uJ1CeN
You take the jersey, I’ll take the filling…..... :-p
Frustrating period, neither goal Biron’s fault. Two faceoff losses = 2 goals, otherwise NYR was the better team that period.
Skinner skins Rangers: film at 11:00
Hey, Isn’t Dubinsky starting to look like Ulf Dahlen? The broad legs when going behind the net and so on. But Ulf scored 29 his first Rangers season…
“leave the gun, take the cannolli….”
we’re obviously jinxing the team. Let’s go back to ignoring the fact that they’ve finally been winning faceoffs
oh Skinner…you wont see him no more
ya hoooo those rangers are da best
loving the winter classic jerzey…. super cool
Sorry about the last two posts. My demented wife came on when I walked away.
I wish that were true, James G!
Time to take this game by the throat.
Packers are playing the Giants this Sunday? What’s the over/under on that game? 30 points? LOL
Nasty! where you been? we thought you were hit by a bus…..one can hope I guess…
A Nasty impersonator?
lol Jimbo it’d certainly be nice if he werent a factor over the next 40 mins
Mickey 75 actually : x
NYR
who is that in the jersey?
Upton or…?
you know you just get the jersey
not what’s in the jersey, too.
Ok I only caught the last 9 minutes of that period.
Looks like we should be dominating a little more. not enough checking dang it. Only saw Callahan throw a few checks nobody else!!!!!!
Duguay isn’t going to wear a helmet in the WC Alumni game? He’d better watch out, with all those Philthy goons they have on their team…
Just hold on Tlusty but don’t let her go …
Duguay will probably play in the Alumni game with no helmet and leather chaps.
It sure would, James!
Funny how Dugay could say Stepan “gotta win that face-off” on the first Carolina goal, but kept his mouth shut when Richards lost his face-off on the second goal. You “gotta” love these “analysts”.
Nasty, does your wife know I ban impersonators?
Skinner: “Prusty, can you get me off the hook, for old time’s sake?”
Prust: “Can’t do it, Jeffy.”
To borrow from Carp… not enough nasty (not Nasty1) in this game for the Rangers. Avery needs to piss someone off.
Let’s Go!!
Just caught up on DVR, was a few minutes behind.
Chimera 10 goals
Dubi 1 goal
Does anybody know why Skinner is still #53? I’m guessing he’s keeping that number.
just looks like we’re so close
but not making it all the way
with our chances.
hope that changes SOON!
I hope Gartner scores a hatty. And maybe they can do a fastest skating skills comp..for old times sake
Two lost faceoffs, both cleanly…Two goals. Got to like the first period though, they were a better team
skinner – tell him it was business….i always liked him…
Things aren’t looking too good so far this period…....
Wake up boys!
oooh la la sassoon
Prust and Avery having a contest who can miss the net more?
grrrrr Prust!!
screen your goalie
and then miss the net
and the penalty
I see the NYR brought the MSG soft choppy ice with them to Carolina.
Don Cherry is still mad that the Leafs let Terloozy and Ponkahonky go.
Cally Cally oh boy
Kaberle on Anisimov has to be the Europansiest collision of all time.
Wow, which team looks faster?
i sense a goal…2-2
“how’s the veal in this place?”
Theres your break. rest up the powerplay during this TV timeout.
“we goin’ to Jersey?”
That PP looks normal so far….
Terrible start to the PP!
wow!!
onehelluvapowerplay
McD!
WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Gomez Scores!!!!!!!
McMonster! woot woot!
McMonster!
now that was nice
things started getting much better
w/ Boyle and Dubi on there
Wooohooooo!! Gomez keeps playing for NYR, eh
wooo yea.
McMonster mash! 2-2.
That 2nd half of PP was good old fashioned Straight Ahead PP, Shots with screens and deflections. McDiesel gets rewarded with the goal just after it ends.
Dubi is looking llike his old self tonight.
Has Gomez scored yet?
nice stick check MDZ!
did i just compliment him?
wow!
need a yuengling
stat
David Putty is doing Honda commercials…..
jimbo – “its the best in the city”
Nice to see Rangers PP looking a little more grunt and a lot less fancy. Shots to the net, screens, attempted deflections, rebounds etc.
Yeah, second part of PP was simple, but great..is it me, or does Marty looks a little unsettled tonight?
who predicted 2-2 at 8:09 pm?
I am just wondering how good McDonagh can get.
If he grew little more, wow. at the Pronger level?
Eddie, “Ill have it”.....
Why do I get the feeling this will be a breakaway contest finish?
Where’s Barry tonight? I have no idea how well Dubinsky is playing.
WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
GABBY!!!!!!
YOOOOGABBAGABBA!
Gabby!
Gaborik is just ridonkulous this season. WOOHOO
How pweety was that? 3-2.
John Mitchell Gretzky? nice shift.
Gabbbyyyyyyy. Time to trade AA….2 nd rounder, eh?
NICCCEE
Good evening, Carp!
Lets go Rangers!
Come on now, fellas, we’ve got them rattled, let’s score a few more quick ones!!
Great job by AA on that one staying with the bouncy puck and getting it to Gabby (can we bubble wrap him?)
looked like Artie tripped and threw Ward off
before Gabby took the shot
Its all that backchecking he is doing this year. It’s making him a happy Ranger
Was that Woywitka with outlet pass?
hey Sally!
how’s the weather in Buffalo?
snow sticking?
snowed here but melted right away.
WEEEEEEEEEE
YEAH!!!
wwwooooooow
Avery!
OMG AVERY HIT THE NET!
AVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!
woooooot wooooooot!
ALMIGHTY!!!
THAT WAS NICE!!!!
GABBY!!
A-VER-REEEEEEEEE!!!
AVES!!!! On the first line!!!! Print the playoff tickets!!!!
AVERY ON THE FIRST LINE!? Wow.
Gaborik- elite! And Avery with a hard shot. WOW, what a shot!
Yea baby!!!!
hmmmm who scored that??? i didnt catch his name
Showing some brAvery. 4-2.
fire Muller!
It’s all John MacLean’s fault
Welcome to your worst nightmare, Kirk! This team is going to have a loooong season.
We know he’s not my favorite, but when Avery is going, he can skate and has very good hands!
All i was saying…...is give avery a chance…..all i was saying …was…give avery a chance
If Avery scored, you have to figure Dublowsky will score.
Avery doubleshifting?
“It was Barzini…”
Well, take no notice of my last post…. :P
LGR!This team, is making me believe.
I figured another year, but woah.
“Hello, Carlo….” agggggggggg
EXPLOSIONArtie Partie Face Wash!
jpg, not sticking yet, unfortunately! I had my first hot chocolate and rum of the season yesterday, which means I’m reading for sledding!
CLAP CLAP CLAPCLAPCLAP
I think Avery was on after AA made quick change. Either way, that was an impressive goal. Gotta give him credit where it’s due. He’s come back quieter and more focused.
pitkanen out of game
(just tweeted)
GAS line, # 2.
Gaborik Avery Stepan
Crosby update
Why is Stahl so tired? Trade him!
Pitkanen Avenue? In Brooklyn?
Staal bored in press box, thinking I’d have played 18 mins by now if I was healthy.
hot chocolate WITH rum?
hmmmmm. sounds interesting.
may have to try that soon.
>>>Crosby update
I’m surprised it took so long…..
cmon Boyle, just knock him on his keester
Absolutely no push back from Carolina. Have fun with this team Kirk and Mac.
Crap!!!
Ugh!
LMAO @ McDonagh got a piece of Skinner….oh, crap
ugly
ugh
Guy who just touched up for icing before the timeout looked remarkably like Pitkanen.
Torts needs to run some “late period drills…..”
Tonight isn’t one of Biron’s best showings.
jpg
Yes, it was Kate Upton! Found it on Rangers’ FB page…
just curious
was that puck offsides?
is that line -3 yet?
what is with the rangers giving up goals late in periods, not good.
Jbytes – I have to agree with that. Biron not exactly sharp tonight.
Biron…theres a car outside to take you to the airport..i’ll call ur wife and let her know what flight you’re on
Got to let Biron tough this one out….
Proof that +/- is a bogus stat there. Pitkanen just got a plus despite dying earlier in the period.
Joslin – 1 Goal
Dublowsky – 1 Goal
Brich line a -2 so far.
I hate ex-Debbies players…...behind the bench, in the BC booth….on my team….anywhere!
“Thanks, Mike…”
“i dont want him comin outta the bathroom with just his stick i his hand”
Can’t complain about a 3 goal period.
canbt blame that one on Beer-on. dseflection.
I’ll take the blame for that one. I was drinking when I should’ve been paying attention.
Our Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaarty is trying to look like his senior namesake tonight….
Alright 4-3 lead after 2. Captain obvious here, but NYR just gotta find way to have 1 more goal than Carolina, no matter 7-6, 6-5 etc., and head down to sunny Tampa.
“bonasara bonasara”
“Minque!”
“look how they massacred my boy”
two more goals in the third period for the Rangers.
they have to keep up their scoring average.
Yes it was a deflection but it was a high deflection had time to adjust.
She does now Carp, she does now.
And why would any hope I get hit by a bus?? A bit harsh.
I mean, I know a few people who can rightfully hope I get hit by a bus, but nobody on here. HAHA
3 goals in the period aside, I think Torts will be “reminding” the boys about their play in the defensive end during the between-periods break…..
Takeaways 12 to 1,Carolina
35% on FO’s
“capt – how much is the turk paying you to kill my fatha?”
“They got Sonny on the causeway….”
Jimbo – Sloppy hockey. Taking advantage of a very soft Carolina defense. Gotta keep pushing them around.
We really haven’t had an answer for the Staal line tonight.
those are some brutal stats ddebened. explains a little about how this game is so close.
you get those from NHL.com?
The team and late period goals recently.. is making me sad panda.
“I got a business to run. I gotta kick assens sometimes to make it run right. We had a little argument, Erik Christensen and me, so I had to straighten him out.”
“kay – now who is being naive?”
“he was banging cocktail waitresses, two at a time”
“I frisked a thousand young punks…...” (chomp, chomp…)
Hahaha! Erik Christensen!
What in the blue hell are you guys yammering on about?
lmao Nasty I’m sorry I didnt think that was really you. my apologies.
In seriousness about Biron, does anyone remember the last time he actually had what could be considered a “bad game”?
dont ask us about our business mickey
Just in & not sure what was/wasn’t covered here today, so pardon any redundancies…..
On Ryan; was told what ANA supposedly asked for (2 off our ‘untouchable’ list, a TOP prospect, No. 1), which begs the question of just how serious they were about making a deal in the first place….
A lot of the speculation here yesterday was very reasonable, soe of the guesses probably even too much for a player that’s hit a high of 71 points exactly once.
As mjuch as I’d love to add a RH’d LW, When I heard the names today my reaction was “How dare they?”
Another angle is, it could still happen pending how Ryan fares under Boudreau.
Remember, the new coach is coming off a frustrating experience with another scoring wing.
The theory it was some type of motivational tool for a struggling team is hard to swallow in light of Anaheim not pulling the trigger, because they’ve let one of their top players get the snot beat out of him in the rumor mill for what?
Was Dougay’s jacket under the tree all night? Looks like the birds pooped all over it…
tomb -rangers site
“ok mickey, this one time i will allow you to ask me about our business”
Well, let’s go Rangers! Big third coming up here. Would love to get one early here.
Finish strong!
Oh, God! Now Mary-O, too!? Gag me….
Also, not on anyone’s radar.
Mike Rupp skated today.
Still think he’ll help this team, maybe quite a bit, if he gets back and can skate.
StepON has really been fighting the puck in the first two, let’s hope he returns to his old self in the third
These announcers like to use the players first and last names a lot.
Sam!!! SCREW Kirk Muller and the horse he rode in on!!!
Our announcers are too damned nice!!
Thanks again, CCCP!
Anisimov has moments where he looks like Malkin.
He needs to channel those moments.
::sheds crocodile tear::
Jimbo – You do understand these announcers work with these people and talk to them regularly for information. They are not going to go on air and bash every guy because they broadcast for Rangers. They are announcers not fans.
Avery gets one for our Captain Marc
be nice, eddie! lol
“Finnish magic”?
have we had a shot on goal yet?
nice slide by MDZ
now if he’ll only shoot the puck!
These announcers are TERRIBLE.
I certainly understand that, HW – but our announcers are talking to US, and they should know that we don’t give a damn about Mary-O, Kirk Muller, Johnny Mac, and Skidley….
Don’t knock them – just ignore them…..
Sauer Power!
This line is MONEY!
SSSSAAAAAAAUEEEEEER
Nice goal! Traffic in front!
SAUER POWER!!
SAUER POWER!!!
SAUER PICKLES!!!
Heck yeah
Did we trade for Kaberle yet?
Can Hagelin start playing 20+ Min?
wooooooooo!!!!!
Sauer Pauer! 5-3.
Always said it, Sauer has a very good, heavy shot…
Sauer – Love when the D score. Nice job Kaberle. Worst UFA signing in offseason.
Sauer-1 goal
Woywitka-1 goal
...................
boo ya. keep that line on
Hagelin = This Year’s Prust
HE-MAN! BOOM!
4 points…4 games
SMASH that ballerina!
HIRE SATHA
Oh no Beer-on
what happened?
Marty is taking a real beating tonight.
the tower of power too sweet to be Sauer!
2 goals this operiod? no Im gonna up my estimate. 3 goals this period too.
Wha happen??
Here’s your depth Eddie
thenyrangers New York Rangers
14 of the #NYR 18 skaters tonight have at least one point, including 5 of the 6 defensemen…
Hey James – did you know that the guy that invented HGH was a bass player in the band Tower of Power. No joke. It’s an odd fact.
Sally!
Rod, what exactly were those names?
Forgot who it was that said the Rangers should acquire Kaberle, but all credit to him. He said Kaberle would produce goals from the Rangers blueline and he wasn’t wrong.
Marty had a really bad game in Europe, and didn’t he lose a game to the Habs earlier this season? He didn’t look too good in that game…
OW. Poor Good Marty :(
McDonut’s stick got him….
Commercials happend…
That’s right, LW. Don’t even need to trade for him!
“The chin is a hot button”
Sally! My Agent!
McDonagh had enough of Biron tonight :-)
Looks like the Rangers arent going to lose these type of games this year.
thats a notch up.
That is awesome.
poor Beer-on with a reverse guillotine. those hurt!
Barry you don’t count assists in a players point total?
Carp!
Canes announcers bemoaning The King getting married… sigh…
Dem was goals that I counted there
Manny, what? Anything you need, buddy.
Ilb!
I know this will create a firestorm on this board so I apologize in advance but.. Carolina won’t win too many games with this amount of Euros on the team. They look like the JFJ Leafs out of the lockout that never made the playoffs. Way too SOFT!
LMAO!
>>>McDonagh had enough of Biron tonight :-)
“Next time, I take your head off! Stop the fuggin’ puck!”
I didn’t know Jeff Skinner was a figure skater. ;)
I never knew Jeff Skinner was a figure skater. WTB?!
Come on Boyle! He’s the softest big man I’ve ever seen!
Oh Boyle….
Looks like Boyle heard me!
Uh oh, are they going to suspend boyle now for hitting in the head?
Looked like Voros in the fight
Good job by Stewart there. Can’t let Boyle throw a big hit on your young stud. Notice Pitkanen and Kaberle really came to Skinner’s defense.
Finally, a deserved instigator.
Oh-oh! We get a PP out of that!?
Good point there,
VinceAHWirth.Pitkanen? I thought he was out of the game!?
When was the last time Del Zotto attempted a shot on the PP from the point?
MDZ no shot on pp
again
ugh!
Well even with his epic struggles, Dubinsky is still producing a point every other game and playing a decent all around game. And the team is playing well so do you like complaining for the sake of complaining?
OMG! eikkk…
Boy, Mitchell is lucky….Just above the eye it looks
Did Joe Mich just fart?
i think Mitchell said
“Byfuglien!”
and rightly so.
OUCH!
Yeah, Keep blocking those shots…
Damn! Mitchell!....lotsa balls, but no brains…..
Atta boy Mitchell. Rammer will fix that up for ya! Players will take care of dinner for you in TB for that.
Who?
That is not pretty for the former AG.
Steven King? That’s a name from the past.
Just call Hagelin: Carrie.
They’re dropping like flies!
Ridiculous
puck hit Stepan’s ankle?
That didn’t look good…Missed EC yet?
oh man not Stepan, took that shot right off the ankle
Jesus CHrist STOP GETTING INJURED!
Nooooo, not Steps :(
Uhhh Stepan – Leave the shot blocking to the tough guys cause that’s not how you do it. But I appreciate the effort of the boys. This team comes to win! Can’t say that for all 30 NHL teams.
Carp,
Remember I’ve done you thjs service :)
Pretty much the best young’uns across the board;
Steph, McD, Kreider, 1.
Same guy said last week Carlyle would go and Boudreau would enter, and I thought he was nuts!
Most telling from what I’ve seen today; Kyper reporting (and he’s usually pretty “on”) that Murray assured Ryan he’s not on block AND Ryan’s supposed desire to be moved no longer an issue. First time I’d heard that.
He better be alright!
Ah good he’s back
Good to see Stepan back…
Looks like Step’s ok.. phew
Thank you baby Jesus for Steps being back on the ice.
I take that back Stepan. Didn’t even miss a shift. You are a tough guy!
Biron gave that puck away! Where’s McDonut!?
Pens 2-1 over Caps. New coach same disjointed team! HAHA! It was clearly BB’s fault!!
Think this team doesn’t have chemistry. Gabby gives up empty net to try to Dubi a goal.
4 in a row!
nice win, and another as LQ rests
All right!!! Coulda gone the other way – last season, it probably would have…...
Wheeeeeeeee!! Wasn’t pretty, but they got it done.
They played Skiner tough today, you could see it right after he scored.
I think I actually saw Torts smile going off ice. Now you know this team is feeling good about themselves.
Avery with the game winner. Good thing Wolski, Zuccarello and Christensen are better.
Caps outshot 35-17 too. GMGM’s phone might be blowing up to see if he’s willing to deal players.
now i can bring this up since i’m not watching the game…
“Only don’t tell me that you’re innocent. Because it insults my intelligence and it makes me very angry….”
Ha, the MSG Networks Twitter account chirped back at me because I said it was no surprise that the Penguins were part of their MSG 150 game of the night.

The Prince of NYC (Eternia)....
Carl “The Hair” Hagelin is going to be a star in this town…
Mickey- I think it was pretty….from a different angle, but it was. The played a wounded team with a new coach, the Carolina had a lot to prove. And the Rangers came in an showed them that they simply are a better team.
Tony from AZ
will appreciate this bit of
kirk muller Trivia
saw him at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
during the lockout season
he was with 2 females (mother and wife?)
and
ended up attending the book signing
by Phil Lesh (ex-Grateful Dead)
McDonagh being interviewed….”and Marty was letting in bad goals, so I whacked him to get his attention…..”
Lets go! Five in a row!
You tell ‘em, Sally!
wow! A LOT of empty seats
at stars game.
aren’t they at the top of the division/conference?
Good to see the Rangers avoided a letdown tonight…especially after giving up a goal so early and then giving one up right at the end of the first.
I’m really trying to temper my enthusiasm…but the Rangers right now look like a very good team that’s gonna be tough for anybody to play against. And that’s even with Dubinsky being a complete non-factor offensively and our best defenseman out for who knows how long.
I like the mental toughness of this team. I like that all four lines can be a threat on the ice.
And I am still wondering if they will get any respect around the NHL…they deserve it.
Good win, boys.
Sauer gets the hat tonight…....
Sauer with the hipster hat!
who scored the winning goal?...what is that guy’s name?
MIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTCHHHHHH!!!!!!!
John Mitchell lookin like a hockey player
Are we going with Carrie for Carl “Steven King” Hagelin’s nickname or possibly The Shining?
Gotta like Mitchell’s attitude after the game…that’s a hockey player. Forget baseball or basketball or soccer or even football (a week off all the time…only 16 games a year)...
Hockey players = tough mf’s
I’ll give credit to those MMA fighters, though. That shit’s brutal. lol
Lineup looks good up and down, everybody contributing, Gaborik looking monster like…Our D has been superlative this year.
It’s good to be a Rangers fan
Carp – Linda is alive and well on FB. Watching on the computer and refreshing here is hard!
Good job with MSGN, Spider!
I think more of us need to get on that #NYR thing during games.
just tweeted to thenyrangers
that Avery should have got the hat.
iBob reporting Iginla to Montreal is done pending Iginla’s approval/waiving NTC.
CJP
would rather other teams not “respect”
the Rangers
and, as a result,
don’t take ‘em seriously.
hopefully will lead to more wins for us.
Aw, shucks.
seriously Spider?
montreal has that much cap room
or does that mean gomez is
ahl bound?
ilb, true, it was pretty from a different angle. They beat a team they should have beaten and that is what makes it pretty :)

”...this is the most thrown together pile of garbage in Ranger uniforms in years.”
”...the f&^%$in coach is a JOKE and an embarrassment and clueless beyond clueless. and you torts-shills will have plenty to say about that, but the players arent playing for him and thats a FACT CLEAR ON THE ICE.”
all is good in rangerland. WOW…
Cmon People! Iginla to Habs is tonight’s phony rumor from a guy who has no inside connections other than twitter followers.
They don’t have any cap space, jpg…In fact they are using LTIR allowance (Markov)
@MSGNetworks No longer watching ur coverage unless u finally show some Crosby, Boomer/Carton, backstory on Staal bros and Skinner childhood. + more Pidto!!! #NYR
Lol, LW….
Idea of sharing that hat is getting as nasty as a team condom.
LW, I love that series! It needs to be more regular though!
With 11 of 13 wins, I miss all the haters on this board. It gets too quiet. Can someone do us a favor and post something about how Torts can’t coach or Sather is an awful GM, so we have something to talk about.
Rod
yuck!
at least you could have made a lice comment
must drink that comment out of my mind
ilb
sounded like a load of carcillo
which is why i brought up about
cap room and gomez
haven’t paid a lot of attention to standings lately
so close right now and it’s only december
just enjoying our
Team Concept
and that’s about it
Love what Craig Button said on On the Fly tonight about Caps. “Show me a player who quits on a coach and I’ll show you a quitter.” Great line. You listening Ovie and Semin.
It is a load of carcillo, jpg…People who propose those fake trades need to have a clue that trades don’t just work like that in current CBA. Montreal is using almost $2M of Markov’s LTIR exception, and he started to skate. The moment he is fit to play, they need to go under. Even if they decide to waive Gomez, he needs to clear waivers, so the deal can not go through that soon anyway…
FIRE SATHER! 12 years and he’s won NOTHING in New York!
HWirth,
Torts is an awful coach! He doesn’t know his assen from a hole in the ground! My long dead grandmother could coach better than he does! Sather is a zombie vampire who deserves to be fired, then staked to make sure he stays fired!
Does that work?
Yay, Mickey!!!!! (Except the Torts stuff)
Fire torts – John muckler, or his corpse, is the perfect fit for this ranger team.
Awaiting the start of the Sharks-Habs game…I hope the Sharks are good and hungry tonight!
(that was all tongue in cheek, mind you…)
Sorry Jpeg. Didn’t mean to turn you on haha.
Well past the time for the hat to go!
You are correct. The Rangers have been as bad as PHI, TOR, NYI, FLA, BUFF, OTT, WASH, MTL, WPG/ATL right? They should all group in the same light. Rangers been as bad as Isles no?
NHL’s best 9 games above .500. Does that work?
WooHoo!!! Mickey playing the “hater” role for a change!! ;-D
They can get the hat cleaned! And fumigated, if necessary…....
Rod
if they keep on winning
then keep wearing
that lice-ridden chapeau
John Muckler’s dead, eddie3? Carp should know, he is about to write his biography….
You know in Washington it’s clearly McPhee and BB’s fault they haven’t won anything. Has nothing to do with dogs like ovie and semin.
Iginla is playing tonight – he’s not being held out of the lineup…..
NASTY1- I didn’t get to read through all the posts, so sorry if you were already answered. I’m not sure if this is the one you are looking for but I remember discussing my experience in buying Jerseys from this place with someone…...hope it helps
http://www.pro-jerseys.com/SearchResults.asp?Cat=1820
If YOU say so HW. That’s your words there not mine…
HWirth- I’d love to see that dog Ovie play for Torts…
Don’t encourage them!
>>>Has nothing to do with dogs like ovie and semin.
Or their substandard goaltending, or suspect defense…...or the oft-injured Mike Green….
I’m actually getting annoyed the different so called “experts” have not listed Torts in their 1st quarter Jack Adams trophy tracker updates. Clearly, getting scoring from all 4 lines and having a young d missing their best one finding ways to hold teams down doesn’t deserve a vote.
Ranger are worse that the Isles! John Taveres is the second coming of John the Baptist, heralding the the return of Jesus, aka Sidney “Dreamy” Crosby!
Yeah, me and Muck were texting each other today about when we might get together.
Was it OK when Jagr quit on several coaches, or when Messier quit on Neilson?
OK, iBob. Iginla to Montreal. Yawn.
Ilb – I wouldn’t touch Ovie. They can have him! Guys like him don’t win. More interested in his own ice time and points than team wins.
Let it all hang out, Mickey!!! Don’t hold back! Give it all to us!
Oh, and thanks for another recent history lesson, LW (Felicity).
Carp – I love Messier. My favorite all time player but he does deserve to be knocked for that. I know it worked out for the BEST! but wasn’t the highest point of his career.
Getting the hat fumigated! LOL, Jimbo
Carp, I’m still waiting for them to announce the acquisition of Bobby Sheehan – what could be taking them so long? ;-)
Sure, Mickey – why not!? It can definitely be done…..if necessary!
I guess Lundqvist likes Weekes: http://twitter.com/HLundqvist30/status/142446546099781632
HWirth- I’d have to disagree on that one. You add Ovechkin to this current roster, even without Staal back, with Torts coaching, you have an instant Cup favorite.
HW- What if I make it easier for you? How about Sather just gets a team to the finals? Wait! I’ll do better than that. What if he just gets to the Final four teams in the playoffs? That’s just winning two series in the same year. Sather hasn’t even done that in the last 10 years.
Now how many teams are left on your list for the last 10 years?
Don’t forget the New York Rangers….
Richards is overpaid! So is Lundqvist, who ALWAYS lets in a bad goal! And don’t get me started on that dog, Dubinsky. Overpaid, arrogant and non existent on the ice!
ilb, not the way that Ovie has been playing so far this season – he’s really looks like he’s lost his game.
Hit them again, Mickey! they’re still wiggling!!!
Jimbo, I loved watching Bobby Sheehan. Such a one-hit wonder. Ray Sheppard was another. Even Verbeek didn’t last long with all those goals. Walt Poddubny (RIP) had two 40 goal seasons and gone…
Yeah. Sather should never have come out of the lockout and said we are building it from scratch with the youth of the team and instead continued to try to buy player after player to try to win quick. Clearly, he should’ve traded Cally for another hot forward at the time for a one year run. Dubi too. Heck who needs Staal when we could get a vet D like a Kaberle. He has tried to build a winning team with youth and that takes time to develop and clearly right now they are beginning to reap the benefits. They are not pulling a 94 anymore and throwing all their chips into one season and praying it works out cause had June 14 gone the other way, we’d be talking a whole lot different of Neil Smith. They are trying to build something like Detroit where it is consistent sustained winning.
Yes, Olga! I really liked Sheehan – he always looked like he had been out on a bender the night before a game – because he probably was!
Walt Poddubny (RIP)...another one of my fave players! He sure could score – no toughness at all, but he could put the puck in the net….
Bobby Sheehan? Isn’t that wrassler?
Bobby “The Streak” Sheehan – from somewhere up there in Taxachussetts…..
Jimbo- you really think he is going to be that bad all season? He’ll explode soon. Too much talent. Just imagine him on the left with BR and Callahan. Leave the GAS line intact. How many teams have 4 number D-men to shut that line up down. Add Hank to that mix.
No, Mickey – that was Bobby “The Brain” HEENAN…...
I don’t know, ilb – I wish we could get him, but he seems so “lost” on the ice lately that I’m wondering what is eating at him – or if he is having some substance/mental health issues. Physically, he seems healthy….
We should trash the whole thing, the entire franchise and become Devils fans. They are sure to rise around once Marty finally rids the world of Sean Avery!
Good evening all! Before I get carp’d…
I think of John MacLean as being a former Devil still, not a Ranger.
This team makes me so happy.
Did someone not tell Torts that we won?
It goes with saying…..but I will….Sweet 16!
Ahh, thanks for the clarification Jimbo.
You may have just gone too far, Mickey – NO WAY do we become Debs fans – I’ll take up watching professional tiddlywinks before I become a Debbies fan….
I’m waiting for the announcement that the Debs are moving to Las Vegas and that the Fishsticks are moving to Kansas City – in Kansas, not Missouri….. ;-)
MAMA!!! How you be!?
Welcome, Mickey…
Habs leading Sharks, 1-0…Cannelloni…..
Ah, been so out of touch the past few weeks, yet I see not much has changed…..
Sharks tie it right up!
Blogmama – That’s the best part of Torts. He’s not going to pat them on the back because they beat a struggling Carolina team. As he said, when asked about the 11 of 13 wins, he’s looking at Tampa on Saturday. That’s the right attitude. The identity of this team is a lunch pale group, taking it one game at a time. Not one that gets giddy when they win and miserable when they lose. That’s what the Caps are going through. Big highs and Huge Lows!
Jimbo!! Been nuts busy…happily, but have barely breathed on the computer much less used it…..tomorrow though, I become an iPad owner, so I can keep up more regularly! Yay!
What did you expect, Mama!? Team is winning, so all is right with the world….
But Smith DID win. He also went to the semifinals once more in 97. So saying IF he didn’t win is a worthless argument.
When Sather’s team wins like Detroit does, I’ll be impressed.
I’m deliberately taking it too far, Jimbo. Want to see what trolls come from it and bash me, lol.
YAY indeed!! Congrats!! An early Christmas gift, perchance?
HW, I don’t disagree….was Prust being sarcastic :) I like that he sees what needs to be done and that he’s not going to go all Yahoo over a 5-3 win….but still :)
Is it a good sign or a bad sign that the Rangers keep falling in the Power Rankings, of multiple news outlets, despite their continued winning?
Hey Mama! You’re back!
Yes, Smith did win! He put together a team that had one Cup, thankfully…..I would have loved a couple more, but they’ll never take that one away from us!
Blogmama – I know you were. I just Prust adding to that statement.
Mickey, I only read a very few posts and saw how you started, and am LMAO!!!!
Jimbo, indeed. Good call. Thanks go to mama’s mama :)
So, how about this Hagelin kid huh?!
Oh! I see what you’re doing there now, Mickster….
I will just keep saying it…
Hagelin = This Year’s Brandon Prust.
Mark Those Words, Chris F.Jimbo – I don’t disagree, we all know that. But, had that night gone the other way, all NYR fans would have said for years was “how could you get rid of Amonte and Weight for nothing” They won on June 14 so no one says it.
YAY for Mama’s Mama!!!!
Both callups have given the team a shot in the arm, Mama – like a much-needed B12 shot!
Avery!!!!!!!
Slatso – You are right. Sather sucks. Let’s fire him and bring a smart hockey guy like Garth Snow or maybe John Ferguson Jr. They clearly know what they are doing. Always easy to want to hate the GM and coach because there is a guarantee the next one will be any better. Not quite.
Just goes to show you, nothing is as successful as success.
HW, excellent :)
Manny!!! I was hoping there would be no NBA season so, for a few brief months, there would be nothing but hockey…..Believe it or not (Carp may or may not believe or remember) but I had to push my former editors to put the Rangers on Page 1 in ‘94 because they did not get how historic it was. Yet the other, um, sports or teams always get that position.
Don’t get me started :)
That is true, HW – I absolutely hated losing Amonte at the time – I hadn’t felt so strongly about Weight yet because he hadn’t really done much yet, but I certainly regretted losing him later on.
But it was what was needed to get us just the right mix of players – and if we didn’t do it then, I don’t know that they would have ever gotten as close as they did that year, even up until today.
Eddie3 – Do I have to eat crow on Avery if this continues if I DID say that even though I thought he got sent down for the right reasons and I defended that move, I DID also say that when he behaves and just plays the game, he’s a good player?
Oh wow. That’s sad. I was JUST complaining about Hockey getting a bum rap in the sports world. ESPN should pick up 24/7 on some censored basis. It would be good for the game.
Hagelin = This Year’s Prust
E3, best post I’ve seen from you in a while :)
Jimbo, no carcillo, she rules :)
We’re not dissing Amonte are we???
Again, your sarcastic attempt to argue your point is flawed. Ferguson or Snow were as unsuccessful as Sather. And since Sather has been trying in NY for 11 years, I think he’s had enough chances.
It sort of proves my point. When you don’t win anything, especially for that long, you’re not too good.
Hwirth – People LOVE potential. Again, it’s why people love Krieder and want to trade Dubinsky.
Glad to make you laugh and to see you, Mama!
Jimbo, all part of my eviiiiil plan to take over the Blog. MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA
Also – doesn’t Sather get any credit for…Mitchell, Hagelin, Avery, Sauer, McBust, etc…
Manny, I can’t speak for all parts of hockey country and the coverage, but I’ve always hated my own city’s attitude toward it (one person excluded, obviously). Seriously, a minor Giant/Jet/Yankee/Knick/Met etc. breaks a pinky toe it’s major news…..a hockey concussion….oh heck, I said don’t get me started…......
HW, how do you like your crow? :)
NBA. Boooooooooooooooooo. Gonna make my life miserable the rest of this month, I suppose..
>>>We’re not dissing Amonte are we???
Not a chance – not from the Jimbo keyboard, anyway. I hated losing him, but if moving him helped us to get that Cup (and it did!), then I accept the fact that he played most of his best years somewhere else.
Mickey, I always knew you were the Devils!!!!
I know, mama. And I love baseball. I mean love. I know that’s not a popular opinion here but it’s true. But it’s pathetic the coverage that hockey gets. pathetic. The radio guys don’t even know who Marion Gaborik IS.
Mike Francesa in an interview with Micheletti, no joke.
“Hey Joe: who’s a good player on the Rangers”
Second Question
“Hey Joe: who’s a good player in the NHL”
You found me out, Mama! Damn! I must go in the forest and become Galadria then….
Aha!! Mickey tips her hand and spills the beans! She’s got evil plans!!
No wonder she dumped Wicky and me…....it’s all part of the evil-ness…...
Jimbo, I hear ya, but I soooooo loved him. I know this sport means players come and go, and you just get used to it, but back in the day…..let’s just say, when I was 26, when Beezer got traded that almost meant the end of my Rangerness. I can’t wait to see him in the alumni game!!!
(fyi, my first cat, in the now long tradition, was named Beezer).
Jimbo- you’re right on the beam. No one wants to replace a Cup win with speculation. It’s like putting the 94 win back in jeopardy.
It’s like Tommy Devito getting whacked in Goodfellas. “He’s gone. And there is nothing we could do about it.”
Evening, all. Missed the game for practice, but off tomorrow, so I’ll be here for a good portion of the night!
Mickey, argh! I admit, I had to go look up Galadria. Did anybody else get that or is it prust me?
Francesa is a total tool – if it doesn’t come out of his own mouth, it is unworthy of mentioning, and it probably shouldn’t exist…...his word is THE LORD’S word on any topic…
Yay Latona! Yay!
Hi Guys i am sorry for missing the Game but you have an idea for a Nice Spot After the game in the Area around the Garden where i can meet a Lot of Rangers Fan for a good postgame Discussion ?
In the meantime i scroll through the Whole comments Section to re-live the Game :)
Manny,
They don’t know who MARION Gaborik is because he doesn’t exist. They also don’t know who MARIAN Gaborik is.
I’m really angry, though. I forgot about the Yahoo! league, and tried to post changed for the NSH-VAN game at 9:59, and the clock changed to 10:00 just as I submitted! They didn’t go through! I’m gonna lose a lot of points – Schneider, who I wanted to take out, has a .400% tonight, and I’m missing two points from Daniel Sedin!
I’ve no idea what it is either, Mama…...some character in Tolkien….?
Flames blow a two goal lead in the final two minutes! LOL!
Argh! I always spell his name wrong. Blergh. Sorry Slovaks!
Oh no Latona! You’re 30 point lead is evaporating to 29 as we speak! Waaaaaaaaaaaahhh
Francesa is the worst I never knew how much I liked Mad Dog until he left.
Actually I was going for Galadriel, Mama, I just spelled it wrong, lol.
Manny, that’s why we all have to have our small underworld here :)
Latona, I had the best grilled cheese and tomato soup lunch yesterday….belated points? Enjoy your late night catch up posts….
Ah, Tommy DeVito – “so, I’m funny to you? Some kind of clown? How am I funny? HOW!?”
I hate you, Latona. Wanna go to work for me tomorrow? :)
Watching Hagelin and Mitchell makes it clear that Christensen and Wolski have no place on this team.
Ding, ding, ding Jimbo. And yes, I am diabolically evil and dumping you and wicky was ALLLL part of my plan for domination. MWAHAHAHAHA
So, who is that Galadriel character? Some protege of Anton LeVay?
Mickey…..careful! Dem’s fightin’ words! Don’t insult my boy.
Buff, I had no idea you were in city!!!! WTB?
If you’re still nearby, any bar near MSG will do, but I’d suggest Blarney Rock, go to 32nd off 7th from MSG…have fun!
Mickey, you sacrificed Wicky and me like we were small animals at a Santeria ritual….
jessespector Jesse Spector
Brent Sutter always has the look of a 1970s Eastern European puppet dictator who just got bad news from Moscow.
AHAHAHAHAHAHA
Watching Hagelin makes it clear that he should be playing 20+ minutes a night. Get that kid on the PP
Mickey, LOL! The spelling makes a big diff!!!
DJK, no argument here.
http://www.imdb.com/character/ch0000136/bio
For Jimbo…
LOL! That is a hilarious tweet, Mick…wow, occasionally Spector has some gems…
Put up yer dukes them, Manny boy!
Blarney Rock? Is that a takeoff on the Blarney Stone chain of pubs…?
Latona – if I die in battle defending you please tell my wife I love(d) her
And Sather, err Sauron made me do it, Jimbo! I’m sorry, but I must be against the hobbit wizard and his trying to take away my masters ring
long live the hobbit wizard for he is Lord of the Rink
One rink to rule them all and in the end bind them
>>>http://www.imdb.com/character/ch0000136/bio
AHA!! I was right! I guessed it had something to do with Tolkien, which I’ve never read…..or watched a screenplay of….
Mama, I know! I know! The editor in me is weeping! And I’m mentally getting berated by my newswriting prof…
I agree, Manny. I want to see more He-Man!
One rink to rule them all and in the end bind them
ewww. That is almost as bad as Rod’s analogy earlier..
Jimbo! You MUST watch the LOTR trilogy! It’s awesomsesauce
Mama,
Lunch points for you!
Manny,
I’m going to let Mickey’s great injustice slide this time. I appreciate the support, however!
Mickey,
Why do you have to be so mean and hurtful?
If Hagelin is He-Man, who is She-Ra, Skeletor and the big cats?
Are we all becoming LOTR characters? I wanna be Cirdan!
I didst not mean to hurt your feeeeeelings, Latona. Was only, as the kids say, ‘joshin’ you. I must plead forgiveness… perhaps in the form of cookies?
Amen, ORR. WE agree! I also ate B&J’s for dinner tonight and then Mac & Cheese for desert.
If I was a LOTR character I would want to be Aragorn
>>>Jimbo! You MUST watch the LOTR trilogy! It’s awesomsesauce
It’s so out of my “range” Mickey – I’m not much for fictional stuff – I enjoy history much more than fiction.
“Taking cookies out the oven with the Louis V oven mitts.” – Danny Brown
I had a buffalo burger for dinner!
If I was a LOTR character, I’d want to be Legolas. With his amazingly accurate shot, I’d never have to worry aboot pregnancy.
I watched the trilogy a few weeks ago. It was my first time watching the extended version. They’re all aboot four hours each! Still awesome though!
Mickey, I don’t know who She-Ra or the big cats are, but I know Butch Goring is Skeletor.
COOKIES!? You offer my friend Latona cookies for a simple joshing insult, while you tear the hearts out of Wicky and me and don’t even offer us a Tic-Tac? :-O
It’s all good, Mick. It’s all good.
Oddly enough, I’m not a cookie person. For exposing Latona’s cookie complex, you get a lunch point!
I shall make you watch it someday then, Jimbo. I have my powers of persuasion!
Buffalo Burgers are AMAAAAAAZING. I get one at HB Burger from time to time….
I thought LOTR was amazing until I saw Game of Thrones. Way better. No offense Peter Jackson.
Oh-oh!!! Mickey’s gonna put a spell on me…...like Screamin’ Jay Hawkins….. :-(
It’s a Latona pre-game tradition to go over to the Roy Rogers across from MSG and get a Double R Bar Burger. I’m not a burger person (I don’t dislike them in the least, but I am a hot dog aficionado), but I can’t resist those. Delicious!
There’s still a Roy Rogers franchise in existence in the city? I thought they all closed down!?
Battle Car: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_Cat
Oh fudge, i forgot about the linky rules here..
Panthor: http://he-man.wikia.com/wiki/Panthor
I used to like Roy’s fried chicken…but that was many years ago…..
Jimbo, I will buy you Peppermint Chocolate Chip shake from Steak n Shake. and the burger and fries… if you ever venture to the midwest. That’s better than cookies.
Latona – ROY ROGERS? We have to talk about this. My grandfather forced me to drink Roy Rogers and used to take me there or Arby’s a lot. I haven’t had it in YEARS. So good.
Also I love hot dogs but have tried to cut out Nitrates/Nitrites from my diet and have taken a liking to the Applegate farms Hot Dogs. Very delicious and healthy!
Not a cookie person, Latona? I DO NOT COMPREHEND….
Ohhh, a lunch point! YAAAAY!
I encountered a large group of Norwegian women wearing pink jackets there. They then went to a Rangers game and rooted for Frodo.
Good game. Son loved his first Rangers game.
My observations:
Gaborik needs to add about 1/2 to the length of his stick. Whiffed on more than one pass. Same thing with a couple of shots. He is also, pound for pound, the most efficient player on the Rangers. One minute, doesn’t seem to be doing much, next minute he scores.
Callahan, Anisimov, Hagelin, and Prust were the most obvious players on the ice. Always moving and getting in the middle of things. If Gaborik had the motor these guys have, he would score 80 goals.
Horrible on face-offs, and that cost them on the first goal.
You could hear the shot go off of Mitchell’s face… and I wasn’t that close to the ice. OUCH!!
Avery definitely made himself known. Good to see him make an actual difference.
Hagelin started off the game a little over-active, had some fantastic shifts in the third.
Lots of needless icings by the Rangers. Also, very poor support along the boards in the corners. If they shore up that alone, they will go a long way to maintaining puck possession. Too many times a puck was thrown along the wall and there was nobody there to receive it.
Mickey is on fire!!!! Latona, she deserves 100 points! Thanks for my points. I have 700 now, right?
When did everyone start posting things in bold????
Roy’s? That exists? It’s a mama tradition to get a drippy gyro from the vendor outside GCS before her train. Yum. 500 points!
Wow, Mickey – will that food be part of the spell? I’ll have to be sure to wear a crucifix, some garlic, and wolfbane when I meet up with you – and bring a few mirrors with me, too…..
And maybe a wooden stake…....and a hammer….and a sunlamp…..
Roy Rogers is excellent. I used to really enjoy KRR rotisserie chicken, Jimbo; sadly, I believe they cease to exist in the US. I guess I have an affinity for restaurant franchises that have to do with a Roger.
Boiled Sabretts with Sabrett brown mustard are my weakness. Especially from this hot dog joint on Route 46 here in Jersey. Hank’s Frank’s, it’s called. BEST. SABRETTS. EVER. And it’s all they sell! That dude is sitting on a gold mine.
I like some cookies, Mickey. Mostly homemade or bakery-grade, although I also enjoy Pepperidge Farm’s Milanos.
But they are soooooooooooooooooooooooo good, Jimbo. I swear. One of the best parts of living out here.
And I am not a vampire!! Or a succubus!
Congrats on your son’s first game being a win, Dan Shea!
Dan, excellent about your boy…..a tradition begins! And good thoughts, too.
>>>taken a liking to the Applegate farms Hot Dogs
I’ve always had a “thing” for Christina Applegate – and it has nothing to do with hot dogs, I’ll tell you that! ;-P

Thanks for FIFTY CENTS, Carp :)
Chazz: We’re gonna skate to one song, and one song only: “Lady Hump” by the Black Eyed Peas. What you gonna do with all that junk / All that junk inside your trunk? / I’m gonna get you, get you drunk / Get you drunk off my lady humps / My humps, my humps / My lovely lady humps.
Jimmy: [disgusted] I’m not skating to anything with references to lady humps. I don’t even know what that means.
Chazz: No one knows what it means, but it’s provocative.
Jimmy: No, it’s not. It’s gross.
Chazz: It gets the people going.
