John Tortorella spoke about Stu Bickel’s play, about the need for Brian Boyle (and other third- and fourth-line players to score some goals), about moving Dan Girardi to the point on the PP (right-handed shot), and about the possibility that Wojtek Wolski and Erik Christensen go to Hartford for conditioning assignments …

LMAO, Doodie….
I got it, Carp. Evan wants to meet. We’ll try to come up earlier. Understood, you don’t want to get smayer’d…
Joke, Manny lives in Brooklyn – and I can “gar-ahn-tee” that the Center Ice package will black out every NHL game within 90 miles of his home – not only Ranger games, but Debbies and Fishstick games as well – he will see NONE of those games on Center Ice due to contractual obligations to local cable companies.
I have Center Ice, I live in Queens, and I never see a local team on Center Ice – not even the “away team’s” feed.
FIOS or DirecTV would be his only alternatives.
so, somebody got Doodied?
Torts loves Bickels!
“He’s a big man who has some range”
On iPhone, can’t listen to it. He said “range” and didn’t mention bickels? Heis about to get prucha’d then :-)
“The Blueshirts currently sit atop the Eastern Conference standings, and rank first in the league overall”
FIRST IN DA LEAGUE OVERALL HAHHAHHAAHAHAHAH
Who cares about EC or Wolski.
not me, Kevin. Maybe some really caring people.
... or their families.
Kevin – exactly – Torts said something about sending them up to Hartford for some conditioning. This is the state of the team where we are discussing the bench players and the 6th d-man.
Level of confidence so high right now watching this team. It is a very strange feeling for long time NYR fans.
I care. If their salaries removed from the cap right now, it’ll translate to over $4M in cap space around the deadline in February 27
“so, somebody got Doodied?”
That sounds so hilariously filthy.
Christensen has been given so many opportunities, I don’t know what is up with him. He has no confidence I remember years ago on Pittsburgh I thought he had a top-10 shot in the league.
Wolski just died out.
EC = SO specialist
WW = waste of talent
Both do not fit the mold of this team. At $3M WW is hard to move, but could help to even out $$ in deal is one happens.
*if one happens
Like to Staal rip the cord tonite
Is that the new Carping word Doodie? LMAO I like it
Yeah, closer to $4M with Woofski.
an offensively challenged team wouldn’t want to trade a high draft pick for EC or WW?
mike, your link is in the It’s Go Time! post.
thanks carp!
late-arriving crowd tonight. I mean here on the blog, not MSG.
Good evening all! That’s all for now, since it’s almost Go (get Carp’d) Time
Jimbo/ Manny,
I didnt know that about the local black outs. I am up in Albany where I had to get center ice becuase MSG would always switch over to sabre games if they played on same night as rangers…I hate the fact that I have to pay extra money to see my team but it is what it is. Now with the MSG black out, its nice having center ice…but still would rather just get the rangers on the regular MSG HD that I pay for regardless. But thanks for clearing that up for Manny…would have felt bad if he went out and bought it only to have all local games blacked out.
Hoping we don’t get a snooze-fest tonight
Just wanna know what the new yorkers who have Time Warner are doing about the blackout?
Going to the radio?
