Some weird happenings after the game …
First, because somebody asked, Dan Girardi got the hat.
Then Jim Dolan—who hadn’t spoken to the hockey writers since 2005-06—walked into the press conference with John Tortorella, and talked about the direction of the team, and when he started talking about the Stanley Cup, Tortorella stopped him … and after Dolan left, Tortorella said the Stanley Cup talk is “bull-carcillo” (only he didn’t say carcillo).
Pretty funny. Really funny, actually. Some of it was “R” rated. FYI, the JR and Barry mentioned in the presser are John Rosasco, the team’s media relations/player recruitment VP, and Barry Watkins, who’s in charge of PR for Madison Square Garden.
Here’s the Dolan/Tortorella exchange. Dolan leaves the room after answering two questions.
When he mentions “Stanley Cup” Tortorella can be heard saying, “Easy.”

Rex Dolan

Dolan is an Asshat
Bigger surprise – Dolan was sober
Bah, Jimmyboy must be bored
Last thing we need is Dolan pooping on our parade! Get lost, clown!
CARPED:
thenyrangers Mr. Dolan: “I am very proud of the organization..I am particularly proud of Mr. Sather…it’s all about the system he built…”
BULL-CLARKE!
Love Torts’ expression.

Dolan who?
Seriously, I hadn’t spoken to him probably since Messier came back in 2000. And he hadn’t addressed the hockey writers since ‘05-06. We all thought he was coming in to give us news about the Time-Warner fiasco. But he was just in a flippin’ good mood and trying to be funny.
Tortorella was shocked. And you might be able to hear him in the background when Dolan says “Stanley Cup” ... Torts says “Easy.”
Oh man, Fran kind of got Carped… so from the last thread, I’m just gonna quote him because I’m rolling on the floor—
”
Isn’t it also amusing to read the pre – game estimates and then notice how many folks were wrong, and the most wrong of them all is the ever opining of the Pimp of Miami?
I can imagine him sitting there in his cluttered little room, contemplating his navel, and muttering darkly to himself,” Bush league lucky bums,”, and then penning some unsigned letters to the NY Post, and threatening to halt his subscription.
”
ROFL.
That’s weird, General Carp. I don’t take to change well.
Dolan found he perfect game when to appear! When Rangers fans can’t see him! What a bastard!
Carp, is that podium always there or was it brought in for Kim il Dolan?
Dolan’s pretty p.r. conscious, to say the least.
I’m betting the reason for his appearance is he knows something’s about to go down
that will make this team even better.
billy, LMAO! But we know now that we need Miami and his bush league rants in order to win games! He’s doing us a HUGE favor.
Miami, don’t stop doin what you’re doin!!!

C3 and Wicky, just in case you didn’t know this already… I love you guys.
Also I need to be better at not totally neglecting my fantasy hockey teams.
Sally!! I love you too!
Rumor has it…
Love it, Carp! thanks!!!
I mean, Gen. Carp, sir.
Lmao @ NYR_PUNK! We’re just a bunch of punks! Yeah buddy!
cant wait for tomorrow when Dolan will retract his comments…..at least he knew he was at a hockey game and not a Knicks game…
HAHAHAHAH! billy, that is hilarious!!
Man, Torts looks pissed.
Rumor has it I’m the one you’re trading her for.
You called me a punk today, CCCPunk 2, when I was named NYR_FAN and you were CCCP!!!
Oh and Rod, seriously, stop being an arrogant Know-It-All and shut the hell up. If you’re so damn important and ‘big’, what the hell are you doing hanging around a team blog and not actually working. If you are this ‘in-the-know’ person you claim to be, you’d be too busy doing your job to come here. And if you need a job that will keep you busy, my company is always hiring.
Daaaaaaaaaamn Mickey’s layin a smack down! Love it!!!
LOL Torts Carped Dolan
Thank you Sally. I just deal with enough arrogant asshats at work, I don’t need to deal with an annoying little one when I am at home relaxing.
I hear the MODOT is hiring, too, Mickey, with that nice deposit you made.
Yeah Rod
The team is about to trade for Iginla…e3
You go, Mickey! Tell him how it is! Put him back in his place!
um, well, it wasn’t really a deposit. you probably had to pay somebody else. sorry. they’re still asshats.
too bad Linda wasn’t here tonight. Lot of asshats being thrown around. Broadway Asshats.
MickeyM
Good work. And btw, my brother is looking for job—- where can he apply?
Make that E5, Staal ;)
Yeah, Midas and I still have to pay Honda for a new freaking wheel when I get out there. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.
They are all asshats!
hahaha, Fran is hilarious, I wish I was half as funny!
...muttering darkly to himself, ” Bush league lucky bums,”—LOLOL
MickeyM, what is your company that is always hiring? And holy cow, I think Rod’s gonna be emotionally injured!
Dolan looks like a phaneufass
Thank you GLK. Is your brother willing to move to the midwest?
new post.
Dolan is an idiot. Fugg off you cooke sucker!
I guess since the Knicks are playing like the overrated group of losers that they are, he has to meddle in NYR’s affairs!
MickeyM
Yes he is, by all means. He’s in Detroit now, near where his kids live.
Seasons. Over.
How long until John Mitchell gets the praise he deserves?
Looks like the revisionist history is full swing , I gotta love these guys just for their pure nads. the youth movement was started in 2004 ? Proud of the system Glen Sather built ?
Calling that weasel John Rosasco JR made me vomit a little in my mouth.
Usually I have a good quip or two to comment on momentous occasions when ranger brass comes down from the mount to talk to the little people.
I got nothing Jerry. Nothing.
