Erik Christensen? An Atlanta Thrasher, maybe – but Winnipeg!?
First!?
2nd!
LGR’s!!!
Looking forward to seeing Mac Truck on the ice…
Second!
Anyone else think Hags deserves moer of a mention for the Calder?
I can see the attraction of Ryan “Ted” Nugent-Hopkins, but Hags and Henrique have worked their way into their teams, done their time on the lower lines and are both now top line players, but with virtually no PP time compared to the others Hags is on pace for a 40+ point season and is already a +13
damn! 3rd then (and 4th)
This is getting weird. I got ultimately smayer’d when the entire post was deleted.
Double rainbow post! Good one BANJ
Yes gameday!
Yeah Manny where did the second post of today’s first post go?
I’m totally confused, I got a 404 from the other thread… I’m not even sure what that’s called when that happens… it’s not Carped, uhhh, anyways, but here’s a recap of my contribution for today:
Shinebox: status ready—http://bit.ly/sh1n3b0x
This would be a shame: http://newjersey.craigslist.org/rnr/2815065811.html
With 1/2 of all Devils fans switching over to NY—Rangers fan base +1
Ok then. And, Kathryn Tappen.
Wow, what on earth is going on here today
Good game day morning!
I’m totally confused, I got a 404 from the other thread… I’m not even sure what that’s called when that happens… it’s not Carped, uhhh, anyways, but here’s a recap of my contribution for today:

Good morning, boneheads!
Must win tonight. :-)
Billy- I’d repost that shinebox again….We will need it for sure….The jackwagons are out of control lately.
Oh, good, thanks Billy!
Good point, ilb – MUST WIN. You can’t head into the break with a loss in your rear-view.
Hey….where’s Smayer? Can we hold him accountable for the deletion of the first post of the second post and all the comments contained therein?
Manny, email me…
Never mind, I’m emailing you..
I will wait for said e-mail.
Ilb, you betcha! I’ve got the http://bit.ly/sh1n3b0x standing by as we speak. Please all feel free to keep that link for yourself :D
Seriously though, let’s try to have some fun despite the occasional loser that comes around trolling for attention. It shouldn’t ruin our fun!
I love how in that craigslist posting I put up there says “Just heard from someone who works for a reliable source that they were talking about Vegas… ”
hahaha, I heard from this guy that knows the guy who works for the dude that had lunch with the person who blah blah blah blah
If that happens though, that would be new ownership, or what?
What helps the Rangers’ chances of getting Parise? The Devils moving or them figuring out how to stay in Jersey?
Billy- I think the NHL will take the team over before they move. The current ownership has 47% of the team, the other owner of 47% has pretty much said he is done, has no desire to support any further losses. The team value at the moment is very close to a value ‘93 Chevy Malibu with 150K on it.
How’s the frame on that Malibu? Has it been in any accidents? Is there any rust on the body or the undercarriage? Are you the original owner?
What a sad state for the Devils. As much as we like to dislike them, they did win a few cups and somewhat recently. You’d think they’d do better for themselves with their tradition of winning. OH WELL.
Who would move first: Islanders or Devils?
This is for Torts haters. By LB, no less:
http://www.nypost.com/p/sports/rangers/thinking_rich_GDZ9mP2QErRfVtsO7QcDjO
Torts is converting the haters like some prophet or messiah.
Good morning all! Ain’t Tim Thomas just so special.
bad news on sauer, read he has been shut down, not good.
Jets, 4-2
Tough news on Sauer. Too bad. Really too bad.
In other news, Ovechkin’s suspension doesn’t keep him out of the All-Star game? That’s weird.
LGR!
I have awoken yet again! It is a great day to be alive! sending out some love to all. <3
Sending some extra love to the rangers Power Play! <3<3
Hello my bruthas and sistas, finally back to work after a lovely winter break – you all should get 6 weeks as it is good for the soul. The 12 weeks over summer are nice too but winter break is divine. Now tho, I am busier than a waitress giving free oj refills. What have I missed on the blog? Infighting? Arguing? I hope sauer is ok and same with mcD.
I know the gmen have no chance against the packers, nor would they fare well against the saints or niners, but if there was any way possible that the Geeeeemen could make the SB, I believe that they could be the pats…. Wishful thinking…
LGR!!!!!
You referring to the score before the opening face off Pimp? Because that’s how bush league the Rangers are, they’re down before the game even starts?
Mama – Tim Thomas is UN-special. Maybe the bruins should change their name to the Boston tea baggers…sounds like he would fit right in…
Should read beat the pats above
anyone on thread going tonight. wife getting home early today so no baby pickup for me today. may biu single let me know. we could meet up and where.
baum27@aol.com
Looking forward to a big win to cap off the All-Star break. I hope the boys bring their jam tonight – especially considering today is National Peanut Butter Day – I kid you not! http://www.punchbowl.com/holidays/national-peanut-butter-day
buy single tix
Jets vs sharks is an old rivalry…. Remember seeing that as a kid long after it was released.
I like to be in America, I like to be in America, I like to be in America…..
Morning all. I am tempting fate by posting on a gameday. The Rangers lost to the Habs and Pens the only two times I have posted on a gameday since I took the plunge on 1/13. I need to prove to myself that I am not the jinx, and that there is some other random occurence in the universe that coincidentally made them lose (none of which had to to with lack of puck possession, forecheck, or PP goals).
Anyways, is Hagelin playing all 3 forward positions on the PP and has Boyle been waived yet?
If Boyle had been waived then we would already be hearing about him being claimed by 29 teams.
I”m referring to the Stanley Cup Finals series win for the Jets.
My friend just claimed that the league is trying to make an example of Ovechkin by suspending him for 3 games. Bwahahaha. Caps fans are NOT the most intelligent bunch.
by the 29 teams in the EHL
Remember, I live in DC for 3 years … those fans are complete amateur-hour
Eddie – totally agree. Thomas was bush-league, selfish and let his team down. Seguin got the pine treatment for missing something so trivial as a team meeting, so Thomas should be roshambo’d by the entire team surely?
http://www.boston.com/sports/hockey/bruins/articles/2012/01/24/thomass_absence_left_bruins_shorthanded/
*lived
My friend thinks this reasoning is BS:
“The moment Ovechkin launches himself into the air prior to the hit he becomes responsible for any contact to the head.”
I’m so proud when you guys hyphenate “bush-league” ... brings tears to my eyes … just like when Redden shows up at Christensen’s apartment with flowers and Erika tears up.
I guess he missed the 4 years worth of leaving his feet hits that Ovechkin would dole out on a regular basis.
Pimp – I am sorry for your bush-league experience living in that Mickey Mouse town with those amateur-hour clowns. May god have mercy on your soul and allow you to spend eternity in the double-secret awesome heaven for professional’s.
Tempted to capitalise it, after Dubya…
Looks like Biron is in nets tonight
Yea, CT: It’s kind of insane really. Ovechkin is kind of “reckless” which is the exact thing they are trying to curb.
Biron has started all the games vs the Jets right?
Thanks, Manny.
Ps. In the future, please hyphane “Mickey-Mouse” ... we don’t want Disney to sue.
*hyphenate
Apologies, Pimp. My Mickey-Mouse grammar has become quite pathetic as of late.
Think i’ll stick with low-rent gags on game-day…
Happy game day gang! LGR!!!!
The cup is in Albany today:
See the Stanley Cup today
Mayors are having Tin Cup day here at the Capitol, but hockey fans can bask in the silver glow of the Stanley Cup, which will be on display briefly this morning.
Hockey’s highest trophy will be displayed in the Stamp Room, just outside the chamber’s east doors from 10 to noon, according to Mike Whyland, a spokesman for Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver. (The Manhattan Democrat is a HUGE Rangers fan.)
The Cup is now in the possession of the Boston Bruins. A New York connection? The team is owned by Jeremy Jacobs, one of the co-founders of Delaware North, a Buffalo-based hospitality business that has in the past lusted to develop casinos in New York.
Great column on Carl Hagelin, or, as he is known amongst my closest Ranger buddies, MARVIN, in the New York Times. Seems strange that the Rangers supposedly didn’t know what they had, according to the article. The best is yet to come.
http://www.nytimes.com/2012/01/24/sports/hockey/rangers-rookie-hagelin-honed-his-skills-as-a-standout-at-michigan.html?_r=1&ref=sports
Marvin the Horrible?
Love that article, ulfie!!
Manny,
As in Marvelous Marvin Hagler
Thank god he wasn’t traded for a 2nd rounder.
I like Marvelous Marvin. Although Hagelin the Horrible is still awesome.
that article was a perfect way to begin the day. Hags’ dad made some great decisions to allow his son to get a great education and play for one of the all time great coaches. Surprised more players don’t go the US College route given average NHL career and limited prospects after for those who come from Juniors.
Hags is 180 lbs? He must have been weighed while holding on to a full puck bag.
Hagelin family did it right even though it may have seems presumptious that at the time (10 years old) that they sent him to the states they sent him to Michigan in terms of fast-tracking towards a pro career. It would seem more logical they were looking for a win-win and based on the article Carl (MARVIN) has definitely made the most of his college experience.
I just hope the next Blueshirt college player, Mr. Krieder, has a similar effect on the Rangers. Just thinking about the two of them together, scary.
Horrible is not necessarily a complement though – this kid needs a real nickname .
I guess the Golden Jet is/was already taken
CTBlueshirt January 24th, 2012 at 11:21 am:
Thank god he wasn’t traded for a 2nd rounder.
Best line of the day!
He-Man.
Prince Carl.
Karl (from Die Hard 1).
Hagar the Horrible.
Karl Hungus?
Stranger,
didn’t see you post, but I was thinking the same thing about why more European player don’t use the college path and either turn to canadIt will be interesting to see how young Erixon progresses.ien juniors or their national teams.
It will be interesting to see the current development of young Erixon. Not sure how thing are going with the Whale but in his short time with the big club he certainly was risk averse, which may have been by team order. Hagelin may be just a freak because you normally don’t see the jump to pros right away with this kind of impact (Parise, another exception), even those that stay through graduation.
oops, really screwed up the last post, oh well
Nice article, ulfie…But it took them 7 weeks to figure out he is here to stay? They only told him last week to find his own place. I guess Torts was waiting until he can play him on PP before making that decision. Or he just hates Hagelin…Either way- Bush-League!
AVERY!!!!!
Hey, eddie3!
Karl and that devilish Hans Gruber on the point – that would be a killer PP ….
...or should i say Clay, William Clay
Hey eddie – since you brought up Avery – I went to Warren77 on Saturday to watch the Bruins/Rangers game. They were not showing it because they have Time Warner Cable. I asked why they didn’t switch or something since they are, ya know, a RANGERS bar (what with the pictures of Rangers all over). I jokingly asked if Sean could pull a few strings to get the games on in there. They told me that (and I quote) “Sean doesn’t care about the New York Rangers and so we don’t care about the New York Rangers.” They said that they, “follow Sean and his allegiances.” I asked if they show CT Whale games but they said they didn’t know.
Bill Clay
As much as I see the Hags-Stepan-Gabby line being lethal the rest of the regular season, my concern will ultimately be how that might hold up through a long playoff run. It’s hard to imagine a top line, where you will need most of your 5 on 5 scoring to come from, to have a 1st and 2nd year player on it. Stranger things have happened, but playoffs are so physical it’s easy to be paranoid on this one. It’s a shame that Artie has not stepped up in the long run when given the opportunitytepan and Gabby. I’ve never been a big Artie fan, but I was certainly hoping he’d add something on a consistent basis.
Not sure what the answer is. Right now I would suggest alternating Dubi and Hags next to Stepan and Gabs. I have no idea what Tort’s strategy is with the 2nd and 3rd line combos. Maybe there isn’t any.
Let’s not start with the Avery discussions again. It’s like the politics discussions or the Donny Baseball discussions. It will leave a lot of people in fits and tears.
Yippee-Kai-Yah Mudder-OlgaFolkah . . . .
How did EC do in Hartford?
Chris F- Miami Pimp has that info on EC. He seems to follow his career closely…
Is the conditioning stint over?
Shame aboot Sour Power. Though it doesn’t surprise me.
manny – that is really bizarre….i was in warren while in NY too and that wasnt the vibe i was getting….but i imagine mr. avery realizes his time is DONE…...it is very sad…...the entire episode leaves me crestfallen….really does….
as for politics…i lean so far to the left, i need a 9 inch riser in my right shoe…
donny baseball was a great player…..a bad back, however, makes it tough to rotate the hips….
born catholic, alter boy for 9 years…i believe in something…..more buddhist in thinking these days…..
john and george my 2 fav beatles…..
bud light and miller lite both taste like carcillo….
Eli is Elite, victor cruz and hakeem nicks are among the best 2 wr in the game….add mario and they form as a good a corp as there is in the game today…
any topics i have missed?
Flip Saunders was fired in Washington. Caps and Wizards fired their coaches.
i also think richard lewis is about as unfunny as it gets…and gilbert gottfried right behind him…..
manny – why the bold you re: your avery comment?....just asking
“you ever handle one of these?”
“well well well, if it isnt hans, nice accent”
“i am special agent johnson and this is special agent johnson, no relation”
I love the idea of Hags and Gabby on the same line. Talk about speed demons!
“Hags’ dad made some great decisions to allow his son to get a great education and play for one of the all time great coaches…”
BORIS
Hey Hans, bubby
i am also a libra, the most powerful sign in the zodiac….i like long walks on the beach and i am trying to find the essence of within….much like keith, from athens GA
I bolded the you because I didn’t want to be blamed for Avery talk! I am scared!
Nakatomi Plaza
“hey they are shooting the lights out”
Eddie you no likey Richard Lewis!? His standup kills me.
manny – that is bold of you to have bolded me…..i see your bold and raise you 2 more
I only use bold for the following:
elite
Crosby update
Knickerbocker update
Booger and Cretin update
groin
BORIS
Other uses are somewhat superfluous.
manny – he is terrible…..i cannot even crack a smile….orr is funnier than richard lewis…..
You’d think Avery would, you know, kind of want to support his friends. Guess not….
Anybody know if Klein has been given another shinebox to add to his endless collection??
groin should always be bolded
I really thought you would absolutely LOVE Richard Lewis. I have made a miscalculation of your interests and I apologize.
as in wonky groin ?
any update on crosby?...he flew out to CA to see someone…..not at all interested in sauer or mcD…....neither is elite
eddie
If you lean to the left, wouldn’t you need the riser in your left shoe? Or you’d be leaning even further left…
manny – my favorite standup was robin harris…ever see his HBO special?
lw – i lean so far to the left that my right leg, and thigh, lift right off the ground…..i need the riser to keep both groins level….
I have not, eddie. But I will. I very much enjoy standup comedy.
Eddie you forgot to bold groin before
Single groin but multiple groins, according to the Micheletti handbook.
lw – the stiff shin implant in my left leg adds to the confusion…..it is really hard to walk sometimes…
however, when i lean forward i often form a tripod, if ya know what i mean
LMAO…
According to Chris Botta, Rangers management told Hags that he should find a residence in New York…aka…you’re not going anywhere kiddo.
manny – wont be easy to see him live…as he died….tragically at the age of 43 heart failure…..it just stopped beating it seems…......but youtube him…you too will die…... from laughter
Some backup Marty is, eh?
lw – i actually have a 3rd groin….hundreds of cases, its just not widely reported..almost like the man with the golden gun’s third nipple…..
i dont see the rangers beating boston…...its not much of a college town
“he is a good looking young player” .....where have i heard that before?
manny – it might be robyn harris – not robin harris…..
per CTB’s earlier post…..while sad that joe paterno died….he deserved to be fired….
thus, he would not have been able to coach next year anyway…its a mute point
it is adismal that i have to sit here and type to myself
Good afternoon, Carp!
JOSH, 26!
allow myself to introduce …..myself, i am ritchie cunningham and this is my wife Oprah
No Ovie in the fake game, who is the next Sen on the list??

Hans Gruber: If you’d listened to me, he would be neutralised already.

Hagelin’s adjustment from Sweden to the United States was surprisingly smooth. He was already fluent in English, having learned the language in school and through daily viewings of “The Simpsons” and “That ’70s Show.”
Lionel Hutz: Well, he’s kind of had it in for me ever since I accidentally ran over his dog. Actually, replace “accidentally” with “repeatedly” and replace “dog” with “son.
Red Forman: Without rules, we all might as well be up in a tree flinging our crap at each other.

You ask for miracles, Theo: I give you the F…B…I.
YOu know, so much has been said about the failings of their PP, but it isn’t the PP per se that’s really the problem.
The main reason why the PP is almost non existent is that they look like they are giving an imitation of the British army in the eighteen hundreds at the Khyber Pass in Afghanistan. They stand and occasionally fire.
But then they look they are stoppjng to reload. If only they could keep moving their positions and firing from any angle at all on net, that would do wonders for at least giving their PP a chance. But that stop…pass…pass…dump behind the net, pass, dump again behind the net, and sometimes the entire play goes by with the Goaltender never having to make a save. When the puck hits their stick blade blast it on goal! No matter if they’re perfectly lined up or not.
WHAT do these coaches work on during practices?
At least Gaborik has the right idea.
