If Rupp’s thumb is broken, it must not be so bad that he can’t play, because he played last night.
billybleedsblue
Bring back “one a day” he made me laugh.
I was trying to attach a picture of Avery and Brodeur in the chat… it wouldn’t work. Arrrrrgh.
Carp, you’re right I guess about Dubi NOT getting the A, I was just tryin’ to say that awarding that to him might have given him the psychological edge to compete at a higher level… (in case you didn’t infer this)
That was fun, I’m glad I was around for it.
Manny
I will tell you who deserves an “A”...it’s Dan flippin’ Girardi. I can’t believe it isn’t no his chest anymore.
Sally
Good afternoon again, Carp! The game was stressful and kind of boring, but I had a great time!
Mama, “Flying Bison laryngitis “flu” tomorrow” LMAO! I’m actually doing okay. And it would have been “EBC Pale Ale laryngitis flu”....
Manny, you recognized me in the picture! Even with my Sabres hat disguise I was wearing to try to fool you!
Sally
And you guys are all wrong about Dubinsky. He looked adorable in that sweater.
I used to not be able to tell whether Girardi or Staal was the better of the 2, but now it’s definitely Girardi. Staal may be playing hurt, who knows. Girardi also had a year where he scored over 10 goals.
Manny
Hey Carp – Don’t check you e-mail. Trust me. Just don’t.
Sally
Manny, don’t worry… I promise I’ll start from scratch for the 3rd (Sometimes Bi-)Annual Paul Mara Playoff Beard Competition. I play fair, I win fair!
Hey Carp – I am good friend with Manny. I promise that you can trust Manny when it comes to opening and/or checking mail/electronic mail.
Best,
Mannu

Pastrami and Corned Beef on Marble Rye with melted swiss…side of cole slaw and Kettle Chips (Sour Cream & Cheddar)

Mannu
Whole Wheat Fiber One Bread with 2 slices of 2% Shop-Rite Singles. I am still hungry! Surprised?
Mannu
FTW = Vibin’
NYR_FAN
Welcome back, Månnù.

Chris F.
Carp,
All this talk of signing Parise—any inkling that is something he wants? To be a Ranger? Or he’d just stay in the Tri-State area and love the Blueshirt Billions.
Sally
NYR, that sounds delicious! My lunch was boring. According to the rules of the lunch point game, I can win a point by creating a more colorful description of someone else’s lunch, right Latona?
NYR_FAN licked the sweat from his upper lip and stared hungrily as he watched the swiss cheese slowly melt over the folds of his pastrami and corned beef sandwich. A quick glance to his left assured him that his side of cole slaw was ready.
“I’m all yours,” whispered the cole slaw.
The sour cream and chedder Kettle Chips waited patiently, selflessly, hoping to be noticed and taken seriously. NYR_FAN resettled his attention on his sandwich. He could feel the heat rising through the slices of marble rye, the warmth registered in each of his ten fingers as he tightened his grip. At long last NYR_FAN raised the sandwich to his lips and devoured it passionately. The hunger in his belly subsided.
“This will win me a lunch point for sure,” he mused, unaware of the theivery that was soon to occur.
CTBlueshirt
Sally sounds like she got that out of one of those books you see at the checkout line in the supermarket, the ones with a Fabio-esque looking guy on the cover.
Manny
Sally! +5 awesome points (sorry I can’t hand out lunch points) for the Lunch Story!
Manny
Hey. That Fabio-esque guy is my dad. No teasing!
NYR_FAN
Wow!! Sally….you are something else, HAMBONE!
I hearby award any potential points that Sir Latona may distribute to me, on to Sally!!
CTBlueshirt
You breaking character again Mannu?
Sally
CTB, maybe I’ll give up on social work and start in the food porn novel industry.
Manny, I definitely see the resemblance. Is that why you ride on horses all the time and never wear shirts?
I trust all of youse guys … as far as I can throw you.
Chris, I imagine Parise will be like every other pro athlete and go for the most dinero.
Manny
Ugh…that obligatory 4th wall. I keep screwing it up! Darn my acting coaches to heck!
Manny
Not all day, Sally….one must sleep at some point.
Joe
Carp,
In the CHat you said that Bickel isn’t that good. I am no Hockey Player/ coach/ reporter so I must not be seeing something. I think he makes some mistakes, tries very hard and makes some very good plays here and there. I think he fights much better than RUpp ( something I can speak about with true life experience) and he should get more minutes because there isnt any other way to learn, right? I guess what I am asking is, in order to say that and Torts not playinig him that much , what is it that you You and the Rangers staff are seeing that I am missing. I appreciate your time. Thanks
ilb2001
Dammit, I missed a good chat…
Too bad about the book, Carp. I’m sure it was a pain in MZA, but it’d be a good read. You now have a bit of a different view on things too, I’d imagine.
Joe
I mean that sincerley
Sally
Who’s David Klein?
Manny
I heard that David Klein is a romance writer actually. I think he writes some real gems.
Sally
ilb!!!
Manny
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh…David Klein. The stories….where shall we begin? Apparently Sally missed the whole thing
Sally
Do you think his daughter liked my lunch story?
Manny
David Klein is somewhat of an enigma. He has multiple personalities and he loves the Mets. Sadly, his blog, Defending the Core, was stricken from the annals of the interweb. Too sad. You will never be able to read about the 5-12 New York Mets. They were having a tough go at the time, you see. David Klein is also deeply concerned about his daughter and the purity of her mind. He doesn’t like her to read swill even when he is the person producing that swill. He enjoys posting fake phone numbers and claiming they belong to other people. His hobbies include harassment, not getting his way and starting fights by saying, “I don’t mean to start a fight but…”
ilb2001
Sally!!!! Had fun, girl?
ilb2001
Any good games tonight?
Sally
I don’t mean to start a fight, but that guy sounds like an asshat. Was he givin’ you a hard time, Carp? You know I got yer back.
ilb2001
Why are we bringing this up?
Sally
ilb, of course I did! There were a ton of Rangers fans at the game, but I wasn’t really close to any of them. I really want to go to a game at MSG (it’s been almost 3 years!) and be surrounded by crazy, rabid Rangers fans again.
How are you & Mrs ilb?
CTBlueshirt
Detroit-Vancouver
Nashville-Philly (The “hey Peter Forsberg didn’t work out for you either game” or Ryan Suter’s audition to replace Chris Pronger game).
Sally
Manny started it.
CTBlueshirt
Sally come to the Feb 25th game against the Baby Buffaloes. I’ll be there with Mrs CT.
Manny
Ilb – Sally didn’t know about David Klein. As a valuable member of this blog community she deserves answers to her questions!
ilb2001
No need to bring it up, ‘heads…
Sally, all you need to do is tell us when you are in NY, we will take care of crazy, rabid Rangers fans part…Mrs and I are doing fine, thanks….
CTB- thanks, I’ll go with Preds-Philly i think.
Manny
Ilb – as I stated above Sally deserves answers! Don’t be sexist!
Sally
CT, I would love to! Unfortunately I can’t take any time off until mid-March cause of the new job. I’ll figure something out! It’s been WAY too long.
CTBlueshirt
Best part, its a Saturday night game
Sally
Thanks Ilb! Please tell her I said hi!
billybleedsblue
what’s this about striking the interwebs in the annals?
Since some of you are “punks” you should listen to this awesome radio show that my pal Marko does at this radio station I used to be a big part of: http://video.conncoll.edu/wcni/wcni_live.html
CTBlueshirt
Unless it’s WKRP, I want no part of it.
Manny
Don’t be so elitist, CT. WCNI is the best college radio station in the world! (Well one of them)
Manny
I mostly prefer KPPX 103.6, “Rebel Radio”
(but no one will get that reference…or will they?)
CTBlueshirt
I don’t think anything involving Cincinatti will every be considered elitist.
Manny
Haha. Good point. I think actually I was the one being elitist.
billybleedsblue
Sally, ham and jam indeed! I felt bad there wasn’t more scoring last night for you, but a win is a win is a win! Nice head start on the beard contest BTW.
Joe, I don’t think Bickel’s bad. I just think he’s very raw and inexperienced. I think they’re bringing him along slowly and not putting him in situations where he could fail … and it doesn’t help that every single game is 1-1, 1-0, 2-1, or 0-0.
I think they’re doing the right thing with him. If they thought he stinks, he wouldn’t be here.
CTBlueshirt
Haha, funny comment on Parise’s situation in Puck Daddy:
Parise saying something like: "I don't always sign $60 million contracts...but when I do, I make sure to do it with a team on the verge of bankruptcy. Stay thirsty, my friends."
CTBlueshirt
To which an obvious Devils fan said:
“Zach knows that new jersey is a quality place to play and has a bright future with the youngsters Henrique and Larsson, as well as Kovy finally looking like a world class player again. He is happy and his father will tell him if he is happy, not to take it for granted. The finical situation of the franchise will work itself out and won’t affect the team. If the coyotes are still afloat, the devils will be fine.”
Hahaha. Sorry, billy. College radio isn’t the most reliable. Although Clear Channel just selected WCNI as one of 12 College Radio stations to stream so maybe something more corporately reliable coming soon!
Manny
Wow, billy. That’s a nice comp. You must meet some really nice gals while typing away on that in the salon. Do you by any chance drive a really cool, unmarked, windowless van?
Marji
Just read the not-so-live-chat.
Carp – any chance of interviewing Parise after games?
Yes, if I cared enough to go into the other lockerroom
LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Marji
Sally, did you go to the game in your awesome attire or the other jersey? :)
billybleedsblue
I actually really love college radio. I listen to WFUV like ALL THE TIME. I also listen to WMFU and sometimes I check out my alma mater’s stream, although it’s scratchy and poppy usually so I won’t include the link…
Manny
Yea…open format college radio is the best! Long Live Rock N Roll!
billybleedsblue
hahaha, Manny, what the heck?! Ahhh, the dangers of making fun of oneself…
correction on radio stations I listen to, I mistyped.. it’s WFMU
Manny, I tried and tried but I don’t think that I have software that will “listen” to RTP (real-time transfer protocol) otherwise I’m down to try out some new college radio for sure.
Manny
I knew you meant FMU. That place is “da bomb” as the kids say.
It’s ok. The whole show is over and it’s probably a polka show coming on after. Ah, the dangers of “open format.”
I downloaded the .m3u playlist and I’m streaming through a media player…
I normally don’t give up so easily. :) I’ll give it a shot. I already like it from what I hear….
billybleedsblue
There’s Celtic music hour on?! Sweet.
billybleedsblue
Wow, I really misunderstood the DJ… this is not Celtic at all. I’m gonna keep it on in hope though. I liked the DJ’s voice… she sounds like somebody I know :)
Marji, I wore the old jersey cause my friend and fashion advisor told me I looked “way cuter”. Don’t worry though, I still brought the awesome.
Manny
Oh yea. That woman goes by “skeleton lady” and her on-air accent is FAKE.
Marko’s Punk Rock Jukebox is the best show ever. Second was, of course, my shows. Like my favorite show I did “The Heart Attack Attack”
ilb2001
LMAO@ “finical situation”! The situation in NJ is finicky, at best alright.
Manny
Great catch, ilb!
billybleedsblue
Manny, that’s awesome that you did college radio. I need to check out Marko’s show, for realz. what times is it again? Yeah, this current show is very multi-cultural, which I love, but right now I need to rock if I’m going to finish up this project before I go work out…
That’s too bad about the DJ’s fake accent. That information has for whatever reason tarnished my perception of her.
Manny, do you play at all?
Manny
I play Piano, Guitar, Drums and a number of other useless instruments. Music was my life before my parents reminded me that there is no health insurance in being artistic.
stevezipay NYR have sent Jeff Woywitka and Wojtek Wolski to AHL Whale on two-week conditioning assignments.
it figures… they couldn’t have that many W’s on one team!
Latona
Sally, it’s a shame that NYR had to go and subvert the tenets of our luncheon organization. One cannot redirect awarded points. Now, I respect your knowledge of the rules, and your description of NYR’s lunch was most sensual and flavorgasmic, but alas, I simply cannot award you the point. We don’t support conspiracies around here.
what are we gonna do now?! how are gonna continue?!
billybleedsblue
Manny, that’s awesome. It’s so hard to make the time to play these days. That was smart of your parents, no matter how much you hated it. That being said, we should start RR Rockband, lol. Our first song could be titled, “Sally’s Beard.”
CCCP, btw, you were killin’ me during the chat. Wise assen! :D
Manny
I was actually just complaining about living the corporate life and how much I would rather be playing music with heroin addicts. Sigh.
not everything is lost… all you have to do is stop showing up at work, find a heroin dealer and buy a guitar… boom!
billy
thanks! :)
Manny
Good thinking CCCP . Actually i just found out that my employer messed up my pay all year and wasn’t withholding properly. Now I owe a bunch of money that I was going to use on my honeymoon. Yay! I might have to leave here.
Sally
Latona, what do you mean we don’t support conspiracies??? THIS IS A CONSPIRACY!!! I EARNED that point by STEALING it fair and square!
billy, I appreciate what I hope you meant by that, but that is not a good song name.
Sally
You know what’s a good song name? HAM AND JAM.
billybleedsblue
Sally, LOL I’m glad you took that the right way! I was typing, not thinking!
Ham and Jam would be a HIT.
Manny
Can we call the band, “Major Mullet and the Neckbeards” ?
Sally
Manny, YES.
Assistant Asshat and the Associates.
Sally
We need a record called “Live at the Bush League Amateur Hour”
Manny
featuring Miami Pimp
Sally
His “On a scale of 1-10…” question cracked me up!
Latona
Whatever happened to my bands, “The Percolated Collective” and the “Hegemonizing Theocrats”? Boo!
Sally,
Don’t even.
Sally
Latona, my friend, you are entering a world of pain.
Sally
Mark it one!
Latona
Sally, my friend, you are soon to enter a world of lunch point barrenness.
Sally
HAS THE WHOLE WORLD GONE CRAZY? AM I THE ONLY ONE AROUND HERE WHO GIVES A CARCILLO ABOUT THE RULES?!
Gravy
Afternoon all. Thanks for the chat, Carp…sorry I missed it live.
Pretty boring lunch from the cafeteria…chicken salad on rye toast, pretzles, pickel spear.
CTBlueshirt
Sally this is not Nam, there are rules.
Latona
You know, Sally, I think you’ve grown a little too big for your britches with all the praise, much of it warranted, but some equally unwarranted, around here. And now you squirm in the quagmire of futility as one has enough sense and confidence to challenge you.
You’re in the lead, Sally. Why would you conspire with NYR in order to receive a lunch point? Especially when he’s trailing by a mere three points? That doesn’t sound like something he would do, now does it?
Second of all, you’ll have to ask NYR why he does what he does. I think he appreciated that I was impressed enough by his lunch to try to steal his point in the way that I did which was, by the way, clearly in accordance with the rules that YOU established. There was no conspiration, only persperation.
Sally
*perspiration
Latona
Maybe you should ask NYR why he does what he does, considering his behavior ultimately cost you the point. Huh? How do you like them apples?
NYR_FAN
My behavior?
What the what?
NYR_FAN
I’m sorry, Latona. I didn’t mean to mock you and start giving out points like they were nothing. I know you rule with an iron fist.
ilb2001
I, too, agree that by following the written rules of lunch point contest strictly, Sally is indeed entitled to her point in question. In fact, in order to show my full support, I’m surrendering my lunch points AND giving it all to Sally.
Do I have any, btw?
NYR_FAN
According to Woywika, Woywitka has been Woywitka’d…
ilb2001
No, I think Woywitks has been EC’d
Latona
No worries, NYR. We’re still buddies!
Not anymore, ilb. You had seven, good for fifth place. Sally does deserve the point by way of the written rules, but is there no elastic clause? Am I not allowed to determine a verdict on lunch point awardery based on overwhelmingly sketchy influences from one NYR_FAN?
Latona
I’m just trying to protect the lunch contest! Geez!
NYR_FAN
sketchy?
grrrrr…..
Blogmama
Croque monsieur for lunch….awesome.
ilb2001
I had 7 points? Considering I only eat lunch once in two months or so, I’m very impressed by my accomplishment.
Fair enough. I thought you decided to unilaterally take away my hard earned points for trying to protect what’s right. That would certainly sound like former USSR. I was about to retain the services of world renowned legal team of Manny, Månnu, and Manfried, PC to represent me in this important debate. For everyone’s information, this legal team specializes in lunch points and logging. THE BEST!
Latona
You’d need about 410 more, Tony..
I’d quickly hire duckbill as my defense attorney, ilb. His rhetoric is unmatched! NYR would join the case as a legal adviser.. and I’m sure somebody else would side with me. Somewhere.
ilb2001
Quickly hire? Now, that’s brinksmanship.
duckBill PLA-t-pus
duckbill eats a plethora of lettuce for lunch. Lettuce you might say? duckbill will reply yes, lettuce…LETTUCE GO RANGERS!
duckBill PLA-t-pus
the duckbill sees that his services may be needed by good friend and forever gracious latona!
duckBill PLA-t-pus
the duckbill would like senior dubinsky to score a goal in his next time at the ol ball game.
Sally
Latona February 2nd, 2012 at 5:19 pm
I’m just trying to protect the lunch contest! Geez!
I respect that, I do. There’s always gray/grey area in everything. I’m bored of fighting. We cool?
Sally

Fun fact of the day: Platypuses have poisonous spurs on their ankles.

MickeyM
Evening gang.
I have a very important question to ask you all: Do you know what a deadline is?
MickeyM
I only ask because certain people that I work with do not understand the meaning of that word. They either think it’s a suggestion or ignore it all together. Especially combined with the word ‘accelerated’.
Blogmama
Wow, really, no points or comment about my croque monsieur for lunch.
You all are bush league!!!!!!
Mickey, a deadline means different things to different people…cool people meet it, asshats ignore it, editors often don’t get it, it has to be “blown”....Carp, yes?
Sally
Hi Mickey! People can be really stupid sometimes. Check your fb!
Sally
Mama, sounds fancy. Do they have those at Denny’s?
We’re good, Sally and ilb. In fact, I’ll give Sally her point, and offer ilb a chance to take those points back. Fighting sucks!
duckbill, I don’t need your services anymore, but if I ever need services of any kind, especially those of the monotremic or wordsmith variety, you’re first on my list. Also, you get a lunch point for eating lettuce!
Mama, fine. Point.
billybleedsblue
wow, this place is nuts, and the blog reads like a weird interweb soap opera sometimes. Hilarious!
Latona, while you’re just dishing out the lunch points, I DID have some awesome pea soup with ham earlier…
Blogmama
hahahaha all! Latona, thanks for the, grudging, point…mama now must fade to black….too many pre-dawn mornings for me this week….to quote Greg is the opposite way…zzzzzzzz
Sally
billy, questions: Do you ever eat anything that does not contain a ham-product?
By the way, that sandwich was delicious!! I saved the chips for a late night munch!
Blogmama
billy….and your point is? Lol….
carcillo. a wicky…niters all
MickeyM
Yes Mama, that is it! This person is an asshat.. and not very nice either. Ugh, sales people are just not very bright about some times. No offense to any sales people on RR- you meet your deadlines and pay attention to words like ‘accelerated’, I am sure.
Sally- I got it! And responded!
I’m eating hot dogs with the last of my awesome chili sauce. Do I get dinner points for that, Latona?
Latona
billy, NYR, and Mickey,
You all get a point!
billybleedsblue
Nice, are we graduating to dinner points?
Mickey, what kind of chili sauce?
Mama, lol, I just felt the need to put that in words. This place is so fun/funny to me…
Wow, you guys got really serious earlier, what with the Big Lebowski and all. Geez!
NYR that website is pretty awesome.
Sally, I try to include ham whenever possible. Actually, I make an awesome baked ham that would surely win me some dinner/lunch points.
Sally
NYR, I’m sure your chips finally enjoyed the attention after being so ignored earlier :)
billybleedsblue
PEA SOUP WITH HAM LUNCH POINT :D
MickeyM
YES, A DINNER POINT! MY DAY HAS BEEN MADE!!!!
billy, it’s Hot Dog Charlie’s chili sauce. Their own special recipe. It’s not spicy or anything, it’ just soooooooooooooooooo good. Mmm, ham! I made homemade ham and scalloped potatoes for dinner twice this week!
billybleedsblue
I’m on an accelerated deadline to figure out what’s for dinner…
Latona
Ham is one of my specialties, secret family recipe.. hot dogs are most likely my favorite food.. and I’m a junk food junkie.. so I just had to give out the points!
Sally
billy, do you ever watch “It’s Always Sunny”? This is for you:
NYR_Fan, the duckbill feels that the Dubinsky went to the home of Alaskan king crabs to find his game once again for the second time. He had the game prior to injury, and it shall return with the vengeance of a pompeiian pyroclastic blast! You must excuse the duckbill for continual ancient roman references but he has had his beak firmly placed in the Netflix documentary and history section.
Duckbill movie pick of the week: Eight Mile High about the luscious Uschi Obermaier.
billybleedsblue
All this food talk… I’m totally starving… I love chili sauces, omg. Spicy, not spicy, it doesn’t matter, they are all awesome. Once, I was on such a Sriracha kick that I was putting it on everything. And I mean EVERYTHING. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, it didn’t matter what time of day or what I was having. I put it on my oatmeal once. I Carcillo you not. That’s when I knew I had a problem. But it’s not what you think. You see, the problem was that I ran out of Sriracha. Don’t worry, I got more. That was the spiciest oatmeal ever.
duckBill PLA-t-pus
Latona, the duckbill will cherish his lettuce point and volley with a dollop of gratitude for his verbal prowess which he feels is diminutive when placed against the formidable, indomitable and magisterial lexicon of the great one known only as ‘LATONA’ aka the lunch box magistrate.
duckBill PLA-t-pus
billy, may duckbill suggest your partake in some blue suede shoes for dinner?
billybleedsblue
Sally, I’m a huge fan of Always Sunny. Might you say we’re getting “hammered?” hahahaaaaa
It’s what I had for dinner and it’s only found in the Albany NY area and omg, delicious.
Chris F.
Marek Zidlicky anyone?
Sally
Duckbill, “He had the game prior to injury, and it shall return with the vengeance of a pompeiian pyroclastic blast!” From your beak to god’s ears!
He’s Alaskan. FOUR MILLION!
MickeyM
DZ going all Italian Don Johnson and Dubi, well, nice jacket man, lol ———-> per woywhatcamacalit
Sally
Hehe, didn’t he rock a white tux last year? His hair always looks SO silly.
FOUR MILLION!
MickeyM
I thought that was his rookie year with the white tux…
duckBill PLA-t-pus
lol @ beak to God’s ear…g1 senorita sally!
duckBill PLA-t-pus
sally, on Jupiter’s Stone his game shall return!!!
Sally
LMAO duckbill!
Sally
I agree FOUR MILLION percent!!!
Sally
Mickey, you may be right. Del Zaster wore one last year?
MickeyM
Sally, DZ went white in 2010, HIS rookie year.
Sally
Haha! Clearly I have not been keeping track of who’s worn the silly white suit and when. Mickey is now the Accelerated Chief Archivist of Casino Night White Suit Apparel. Mazel tov!
MickeyM
WOHOOO! I have a position on RR now! My life goal is accomplished! :) Thank you so much Sally!
(err, I just happen to have lots of pics of the team on my computer and they are by year, so it was only a matter of finding the year and the pics, lol)
Sally
Genius!
But don’t get too excited, it is a non-paying position. There are probably some perks, but I haven’t thought of them yet.

freaking devils get another break take the lead 4-3.
flyers win as well
no help tonight

Freakin’ Habs really, really suck!! They give up 4 straight goals to the debbies after leading the game 3-1 – what a piece of carcillo team that is!
billybleedsblue
Did Gomez score?
leetchhalloffame
This is one of the greatest websites in hockey history. LMFAO
I agree! the Gomez site is hilarious. at least the Habs fans seem to have some sense of humor. hahahahahaaaaaa I think WE are laughing more though :D
billybleedsblue
actually, Gomez is the one that is laughing… all the way to the bank. And the Habs fans are laughing more too… all those Cups… ok, I’ve just ruined the whole thing, great.
billybleedsblue
Hat trick.
JimboWoodside
No, Gomez did not score – the crowd was really giving him the business, though – in NJ…

Boston lost – real big help!
JimboWoodside
Watching a game from the pebble that my team isn’t involved in gives me a much better feel for the place over there – and I’ve gotta say, that franchise, it’s PA announcer, its TV coverage, and its fans are, to quote Miami, totally Bush-League!
Really, the franchise should be in Atlanta or Memphis, where the goobers in the seats don’t know anything about hockey whatsoever. It is a minor-league operation, in the biggest hockey market in possibly the whole league, if total population of the area is a factor.
“Dave Gagner was selected in the first round of the 1983 NHL Entry Draft (12th overall) by the New York Rangers and bounced back and forth between New York and their American Hockey League farm team, the New Haven Nighthawks over the next several seasons. He remained with the Rangers’ organization until 1987 but was never able to completely get over the hump and earn a full-time roster spot, largely due to his being considered too small for an NHL forward.
His career took off when he was traded to the Minnesota North Stars in 1987. ”
Dave Gagner was a really good player, drafted in the first round in ‘83 by Craig Patrick. But traded by Phil Esposito with Jay Caufield for Jari Gronstrand and Paul Boutilier, October 8, 1987. Good deal.
billybleedsblue
Sarcasm alert.
JimboWoodside
Gronstrand – he was pretty good too, if I recall….?

I kind of feel like that “one a day” guy.
Rupp’s Thumb might be broken? That can’t be good news. Do we need a Bel Biv Deveaux type to fill in or do we need a hobbit wizard to step in?
Carp, that was fun! Thanks!
Thanks for playing.
If Rupp’s thumb is broken, it must not be so bad that he can’t play, because he played last night.
Bring back “one a day” he made me laugh.
I was trying to attach a picture of Avery and Brodeur in the chat… it wouldn’t work. Arrrrrgh.
Carp, you’re right I guess about Dubi NOT getting the A, I was just tryin’ to say that awarding that to him might have given him the psychological edge to compete at a higher level… (in case you didn’t infer this)
That was fun, I’m glad I was around for it.
I will tell you who deserves an “A”...it’s Dan flippin’ Girardi. I can’t believe it isn’t no his chest anymore.
Good afternoon again, Carp! The game was stressful and kind of boring, but I had a great time!
Mama, “Flying Bison laryngitis “flu” tomorrow” LMAO! I’m actually doing okay. And it would have been “EBC Pale Ale laryngitis flu”....
Manny, you recognized me in the picture! Even with my Sabres hat disguise I was wearing to try to fool you!
And you guys are all wrong about Dubinsky. He looked adorable in that sweater.
Carp, check your email.
You can’t fool me Sally. Never trick a trickster!
Voros released by Whale! Fire Gernander!
I used to not be able to tell whether Girardi or Staal was the better of the 2, but now it’s definitely Girardi. Staal may be playing hurt, who knows. Girardi also had a year where he scored over 10 goals.
Hey Carp – Don’t check you e-mail. Trust me. Just don’t.
Manny, don’t worry… I promise I’ll start from scratch for the 3rd (Sometimes Bi-)Annual Paul Mara Playoff Beard Competition. I play fair, I win fair!
Carp, don’t trust Manny. Just don’t
I missed the chat ? CARCILLO. This stupid job !
Hey Carp – I am good friend with Manny. I promise that you can trust Manny when it comes to opening and/or checking mail/electronic mail.
Best,
Mannu
Pastrami and Corned Beef on Marble Rye with melted swiss…side of cole slaw and Kettle Chips (Sour Cream & Cheddar)
FTW!!!
Whole Wheat Fiber One Bread with 2 slices of 2% Shop-Rite Singles. I am still hungry! Surprised?
FTW = Vibin’
Welcome back, Månnù.
FTW = Vibin’
Carp,
All this talk of signing Parise—any inkling that is something he wants? To be a Ranger? Or he’d just stay in the Tri-State area and love the Blueshirt Billions.
NYR, that sounds delicious! My lunch was boring. According to the rules of the lunch point game, I can win a point by creating a more colorful description of someone else’s lunch, right Latona?
NYR_FAN licked the sweat from his upper lip and stared hungrily as he watched the swiss cheese slowly melt over the folds of his pastrami and corned beef sandwich. A quick glance to his left assured him that his side of cole slaw was ready.
“I’m all yours,” whispered the cole slaw.
The sour cream and chedder Kettle Chips waited patiently, selflessly, hoping to be noticed and taken seriously. NYR_FAN resettled his attention on his sandwich. He could feel the heat rising through the slices of marble rye, the warmth registered in each of his ten fingers as he tightened his grip. At long last NYR_FAN raised the sandwich to his lips and devoured it passionately. The hunger in his belly subsided.
“This will win me a lunch point for sure,” he mused, unaware of the theivery that was soon to occur.
Sally sounds like she got that out of one of those books you see at the checkout line in the supermarket, the ones with a Fabio-esque looking guy on the cover.
Sally! +5 awesome points (sorry I can’t hand out lunch points) for the Lunch Story!
Hey. That Fabio-esque guy is my dad. No teasing!
Wow!! Sally….you are something else, HAMBONE!
I hearby award any potential points that Sir Latona may distribute to me, on to Sally!!
You breaking character again Mannu?
CTB, maybe I’ll give up on social work and start in the food porn novel industry.
Manny, I definitely see the resemblance. Is that why you ride on horses all the time and never wear shirts?
NYR, very kind. Thank you.
Lunch: Progresso Chickarina soup.
Good afternoon, Sally!
I trust all of youse guys … as far as I can throw you.
Chris, I imagine Parise will be like every other pro athlete and go for the most dinero.
Ugh…that obligatory 4th wall. I keep screwing it up! Darn my acting coaches to heck!
Not all day, Sally….one must sleep at some point.
Carp,
In the CHat you said that Bickel isn’t that good. I am no Hockey Player/ coach/ reporter so I must not be seeing something. I think he makes some mistakes, tries very hard and makes some very good plays here and there. I think he fights much better than RUpp ( something I can speak about with true life experience) and he should get more minutes because there isnt any other way to learn, right? I guess what I am asking is, in order to say that and Torts not playinig him that much , what is it that you You and the Rangers staff are seeing that I am missing. I appreciate your time. Thanks
Dammit, I missed a good chat…
Too bad about the book, Carp. I’m sure it was a pain in MZA, but it’d be a good read. You now have a bit of a different view on things too, I’d imagine.
I mean that sincerley
Who’s David Klein?
I heard that David Klein is a romance writer actually. I think he writes some real gems.
ilb!!!
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh…David Klein. The stories….where shall we begin? Apparently Sally missed the whole thing
Do you think his daughter liked my lunch story?
David Klein is somewhat of an enigma. He has multiple personalities and he loves the Mets. Sadly, his blog, Defending the Core, was stricken from the annals of the interweb. Too sad. You will never be able to read about the 5-12 New York Mets. They were having a tough go at the time, you see. David Klein is also deeply concerned about his daughter and the purity of her mind. He doesn’t like her to read swill even when he is the person producing that swill. He enjoys posting fake phone numbers and claiming they belong to other people. His hobbies include harassment, not getting his way and starting fights by saying, “I don’t mean to start a fight but…”
Sally!!!! Had fun, girl?
Any good games tonight?
I don’t mean to start a fight, but that guy sounds like an asshat. Was he givin’ you a hard time, Carp? You know I got yer back.
Why are we bringing this up?
ilb, of course I did! There were a ton of Rangers fans at the game, but I wasn’t really close to any of them. I really want to go to a game at MSG (it’s been almost 3 years!) and be surrounded by crazy, rabid Rangers fans again.
How are you & Mrs ilb?
Detroit-Vancouver
Nashville-Philly (The “hey Peter Forsberg didn’t work out for you either game” or Ryan Suter’s audition to replace Chris Pronger game).
Manny started it.
Sally come to the Feb 25th game against the Baby Buffaloes. I’ll be there with Mrs CT.
Ilb – Sally didn’t know about David Klein. As a valuable member of this blog community she deserves answers to her questions!
No need to bring it up, ‘heads…
Sally, all you need to do is tell us when you are in NY, we will take care of crazy, rabid Rangers fans part…Mrs and I are doing fine, thanks….
CTB- thanks, I’ll go with Preds-Philly i think.
Ilb – as I stated above Sally deserves answers! Don’t be sexist!
CT, I would love to! Unfortunately I can’t take any time off until mid-March cause of the new job. I’ll figure something out! It’s been WAY too long.
Best part, its a Saturday night game
Thanks Ilb! Please tell her I said hi!
what’s this about striking the interwebs in the annals?
Lunch: Progresso Pea Soup with Ham
mmmmmmmm… HAaaaaaammmmmmmmm…
Ham and jam, is what I always say!
Here is a link for the Rangers shootout stats – you can also search for other team’s stats as well.
http://www.nhl.com/ice/shootoutstats.htm?season=20112012&team=NYR&viewName=shootoutsSkaters
Since some of you are “punks” you should listen to this awesome radio show that my pal Marko does at this radio station I used to be a big part of: http://video.conncoll.edu/wcni/wcni_live.html
Unless it’s WKRP, I want no part of it.
Don’t be so elitist, CT. WCNI is the best college radio station in the world! (Well one of them)
I mostly prefer KPPX 103.6, “Rebel Radio”
(but no one will get that reference…or will they?)
I don’t think anything involving Cincinatti will every be considered elitist.
Haha. Good point. I think actually I was the one being elitist.
Sally, ham and jam indeed! I felt bad there wasn’t more scoring last night for you, but a win is a win is a win! Nice head start on the beard contest BTW.
Joe, I don’t think Bickel’s bad. I just think he’s very raw and inexperienced. I think they’re bringing him along slowly and not putting him in situations where he could fail … and it doesn’t help that every single game is 1-1, 1-0, 2-1, or 0-0.
I think they’re doing the right thing with him. If they thought he stinks, he wouldn’t be here.
Haha, funny comment on Parise’s situation in Puck Daddy:
Parise saying something like: "I don't always sign $60 million contracts...but when I do, I make sure to do it with a team on the verge of bankruptcy. Stay thirsty, my friends."To which an obvious Devils fan said:
“Zach knows that new jersey is a quality place to play and has a bright future with the youngsters Henrique and Larsson, as well as Kovy finally looking like a world class player again. He is happy and his father will tell him if he is happy, not to take it for granted. The finical situation of the franchise will work itself out and won’t affect the team. If the coyotes are still afloat, the devils will be fine.”
Which kinda reminds me of this:
http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_UfBePUbn2Us/TSzxkV1uddI/AAAAAAAAHws/FdEhm-tS36U/s400/remaincalm-01.jpg
The Devils might be fine…..they just might not be doing fine in New Jersey.
Manny, that link… all I see is a Camel up top on the tab and a feather that says Apache on it… seriously though, the web page says:
If you have problems receiving the streams,
please see “If You Have Problems” below.
If this does not work, contact fful*conncoll.edu
I’m going to email them and tell them about my laundry “problems.”
Then it says at the bottom of that page,
If you have problems receiving the stream,
please contact fful*conncoll.edu
Between July 12 and July 19 contact help*conncoll.edu
what’s so special about that week in July?
I am so confused. And I couldn’t get the stream to work. But I’m not on a ‘normal’ computer.
LMAO CT!
billy, I had a good time anyways! Thanks for the beard compliment. :)>
Manny, I’m not sure why it won’t work on my computer: http://www.savingadvice.com/images/blog/hello-kitty-epson-computer-new.jpg
Hahaha. Sorry, billy. College radio isn’t the most reliable. Although Clear Channel just selected WCNI as one of 12 College Radio stations to stream so maybe something more corporately reliable coming soon!
Wow, billy. That’s a nice comp. You must meet some really nice gals while typing away on that in the salon. Do you by any chance drive a really cool, unmarked, windowless van?
Just read the not-so-live-chat.
Carp – any chance of interviewing Parise after games?
Yes, if I cared enough to go into the other lockerroom
LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sally, did you go to the game in your awesome attire or the other jersey? :)
I actually really love college radio. I listen to WFUV like ALL THE TIME. I also listen to WMFU and sometimes I check out my alma mater’s stream, although it’s scratchy and poppy usually so I won’t include the link…
Yea…open format college radio is the best! Long Live Rock N Roll!
hahaha, Manny, what the heck?! Ahhh, the dangers of making fun of oneself…
correction on radio stations I listen to, I mistyped.. it’s WFMU
Manny, I tried and tried but I don’t think that I have software that will “listen” to RTP (real-time transfer protocol) otherwise I’m down to try out some new college radio for sure.
I knew you meant FMU. That place is “da bomb” as the kids say.
It’s ok. The whole show is over and it’s probably a polka show coming on after. Ah, the dangers of “open format.”
Manny, I found a link that worked off of THIS page: http://www.wcniradio.org/listen.htm
I downloaded the .m3u playlist and I’m streaming through a media player…
I normally don’t give up so easily. :) I’ll give it a shot. I already like it from what I hear….
There’s Celtic music hour on?! Sweet.
Wow, I really misunderstood the DJ… this is not Celtic at all. I’m gonna keep it on in hope though. I liked the DJ’s voice… she sounds like somebody I know :)
Holy cow, I’m getting serious procrastination and jibberish points today :/
Marji, I wore the old jersey cause my friend and fashion advisor told me I looked “way cuter”. Don’t worry though, I still brought the awesome.
Oh yea. That woman goes by “skeleton lady” and her on-air accent is FAKE.
Marko’s Punk Rock Jukebox is the best show ever. Second was, of course, my shows. Like my favorite show I did “The Heart Attack Attack”
LMAO@ “finical situation”! The situation in NJ is finicky, at best alright.
Great catch, ilb!
Manny, that’s awesome that you did college radio. I need to check out Marko’s show, for realz. what times is it again? Yeah, this current show is very multi-cultural, which I love, but right now I need to rock if I’m going to finish up this project before I go work out…
That’s too bad about the DJ’s fake accent. That information has for whatever reason tarnished my perception of her.
Manny, do you play at all?
I play Piano, Guitar, Drums and a number of other useless instruments. Music was my life before my parents reminded me that there is no health insurance in being artistic.
Guess youse saw over there————> that Wolski and Woywitka were both sent to the Whale on conditioning assignments.
stevezipay NYR have sent Jeff Woywitka and Wojtek Wolski to AHL Whale on two-week conditioning assignments.
it figures… they couldn’t have that many W’s on one team!
Sally, it’s a shame that NYR had to go and subvert the tenets of our luncheon organization. One cannot redirect awarded points. Now, I respect your knowledge of the rules, and your description of NYR’s lunch was most sensual and flavorgasmic, but alas, I simply cannot award you the point. We don’t support conspiracies around here.
Carp gets the point.
lol Carp…
what are we gonna do now?! how are gonna continue?!
Manny, that’s awesome. It’s so hard to make the time to play these days. That was smart of your parents, no matter how much you hated it. That being said, we should start RR Rockband, lol. Our first song could be titled, “Sally’s Beard.”
CCCP, btw, you were killin’ me during the chat. Wise assen! :D
I was actually just complaining about living the corporate life and how much I would rather be playing music with heroin addicts. Sigh.
Manny
not everything is lost… all you have to do is stop showing up at work, find a heroin dealer and buy a guitar… boom!
billy
thanks! :)
Good thinking
CCCP. Actually i just found out that my employer messed up my pay all year and wasn’t withholding properly. Now I owe a bunch of money that I was going to use on my honeymoon. Yay! I might have to leave here.Latona, what do you mean we don’t support conspiracies??? THIS IS A CONSPIRACY!!! I EARNED that point by STEALING it fair and square!
billy, I appreciate what I hope you meant by that, but that is not a good song name.
You know what’s a good song name? HAM AND JAM.
Sally, LOL I’m glad you took that the right way! I was typing, not thinking!
Ham and Jam would be a HIT.
Can we call the band, “Major Mullet and the Neckbeards” ?
Manny, YES.
Assistant Asshat and the Associates.
We need a record called “Live at the Bush League Amateur Hour”
featuring Miami Pimp
His “On a scale of 1-10…” question cracked me up!
Whatever happened to my bands, “The Percolated Collective” and the “Hegemonizing Theocrats”? Boo!
Sally,
Don’t even.
Latona, my friend, you are entering a world of pain.
Mark it one!
Sally, my friend, you are soon to enter a world of lunch point barrenness.
HAS THE WHOLE WORLD GONE CRAZY? AM I THE ONLY ONE AROUND HERE WHO GIVES A CARCILLO ABOUT THE RULES?!
Afternoon all. Thanks for the chat, Carp…sorry I missed it live.
Pretty boring lunch from the cafeteria…chicken salad on rye toast, pretzles, pickel spear.
Sally this is not Nam, there are rules.
You know, Sally, I think you’ve grown a little too big for your britches with all the praise, much of it warranted, but some equally unwarranted, around here. And now you squirm in the quagmire of futility as one has enough sense and confidence to challenge you.
You’re in the lead, Sally. Why would you conspire with NYR in order to receive a lunch point? Especially when he’s trailing by a mere three points? That doesn’t sound like something he would do, now does it?
Thanks for the support CT.
...It’s a league game, Smokey.
Or should I say Walter Sobchak.
We’re eating lunch today under protest.
Okay, first of all, Latona. THIS: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3vB9U2hx6Qg
Second of all, you’ll have to ask NYR why he does what he does. I think he appreciated that I was impressed enough by his lunch to try to steal his point in the way that I did which was, by the way, clearly in accordance with the rules that YOU established. There was no conspiration, only persperation.
*perspiration
Maybe you should ask NYR why he does what he does, considering his behavior ultimately cost you the point. Huh? How do you like them apples?
My behavior?
What the what?
I’m sorry, Latona. I didn’t mean to mock you and start giving out points like they were nothing. I know you rule with an iron fist.
I, too, agree that by following the written rules of lunch point contest strictly, Sally is indeed entitled to her point in question. In fact, in order to show my full support, I’m surrendering my lunch points AND giving it all to Sally.
Do I have any, btw?
According to Woywika, Woywitka has been Woywitka’d…
No, I think Woywitks has been EC’d
No worries, NYR. We’re still buddies!
Not anymore, ilb. You had seven, good for fifth place. Sally does deserve the point by way of the written rules, but is there no elastic clause? Am I not allowed to determine a verdict on lunch point awardery based on overwhelmingly sketchy influences from one NYR_FAN?
I’m just trying to protect the lunch contest! Geez!
sketchy?
grrrrr…..
Croque monsieur for lunch….awesome.
I had 7 points? Considering I only eat lunch once in two months or so, I’m very impressed by my accomplishment.
And what do you mean not anymore?
Ruben for lunch
You gave them to Sally..
Lunch point, Tony!
enough points gets me a free lunch ?
Fair enough. I thought you decided to unilaterally take away my hard earned points for trying to protect what’s right. That would certainly sound like former USSR. I was about to retain the services of world renowned legal team of Manny, Månnu, and Manfried, PC to represent me in this important debate. For everyone’s information, this legal team specializes in lunch points and logging. THE BEST!
You’d need about 410 more, Tony..
I’d quickly hire duckbill as my defense attorney, ilb. His rhetoric is unmatched! NYR would join the case as a legal adviser.. and I’m sure somebody else would side with me. Somewhere.
Quickly hire? Now, that’s brinksmanship.
duckbill eats a plethora of lettuce for lunch. Lettuce you might say? duckbill will reply yes, lettuce…LETTUCE GO RANGERS!
the duckbill sees that his services may be needed by good friend and forever gracious latona!
the duckbill would like senior dubinsky to score a goal in his next time at the ol ball game.
Latona February 2nd, 2012 at 5:19 pm
I’m just trying to protect the lunch contest! Geez!
I respect that, I do. There’s always gray/grey area in everything. I’m bored of fighting. We cool?
The almighty ilb
Deserves a thankful haiku
For being the best
Manny = fried man? Ohhhhhhhhhhh…
To the duckbill
I know you R a Dubie fan. To what you do attribute his pulpous thinking with the biscuit? Will the inauspicious continue?
LOL! Man that is fried….
Fun fact of the day: Platypuses have poisonous spurs on their ankles.
The more you know.
Evening gang.
I have a very important question to ask you all: Do you know what a deadline is?
I only ask because certain people that I work with do not understand the meaning of that word. They either think it’s a suggestion or ignore it all together. Especially combined with the word ‘accelerated’.
Wow, really, no points or comment about my croque monsieur for lunch.
You all are bush league!!!!!!
Mickey, a deadline means different things to different people…cool people meet it, asshats ignore it, editors often don’t get it, it has to be “blown”....Carp, yes?
Hi Mickey! People can be really stupid sometimes. Check your fb!
Mama, sounds fancy. Do they have those at Denny’s?
Check this out!
http://www.webleedblue.com/stepan_wingman.html
We’re good, Sally and ilb. In fact, I’ll give Sally her point, and offer ilb a chance to take those points back. Fighting sucks!
duckbill, I don’t need your services anymore, but if I ever need services of any kind, especially those of the monotremic or wordsmith variety, you’re first on my list. Also, you get a lunch point for eating lettuce!
Mama, fine. Point.
wow, this place is nuts, and the blog reads like a weird interweb soap opera sometimes. Hilarious!
Latona, while you’re just dishing out the lunch points, I DID have some awesome pea soup with ham earlier…
hahahaha all! Latona, thanks for the, grudging, point…mama now must fade to black….too many pre-dawn mornings for me this week….to quote Greg is the opposite way…zzzzzzzz
billy, questions: Do you ever eat anything that does not contain a ham-product?
Latona, good :)
By the way, that sandwich was delicious!! I saved the chips for a late night munch!
billy….and your point is? Lol….
carcillo. a wicky…niters all
Yes Mama, that is it! This person is an asshat.. and not very nice either. Ugh, sales people are just not very bright about some times. No offense to any sales people on RR- you meet your deadlines and pay attention to words like ‘accelerated’, I am sure.
Sally- I got it! And responded!
I’m eating hot dogs with the last of my awesome chili sauce. Do I get dinner points for that, Latona?
billy, NYR, and Mickey,
You all get a point!
Nice, are we graduating to dinner points?
Mickey, what kind of chili sauce?
Mama, lol, I just felt the need to put that in words. This place is so fun/funny to me…
Wow, you guys got really serious earlier, what with the Big Lebowski and all. Geez!
NYR that website is pretty awesome.
Sally, I try to include ham whenever possible. Actually, I make an awesome baked ham that would surely win me some dinner/lunch points.
NYR, I’m sure your chips finally enjoyed the attention after being so ignored earlier :)
PEA SOUP WITH HAM LUNCH POINT :D
YES, A DINNER POINT! MY DAY HAS BEEN MADE!!!!
billy, it’s Hot Dog Charlie’s chili sauce. Their own special recipe. It’s not spicy or anything, it’ just soooooooooooooooooo good. Mmm, ham! I made homemade ham and scalloped potatoes for dinner twice this week!
I’m on an accelerated deadline to figure out what’s for dinner…
Ham is one of my specialties, secret family recipe.. hot dogs are most likely my favorite food.. and I’m a junk food junkie.. so I just had to give out the points!
billy, do you ever watch “It’s Always Sunny”? This is for you:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9SULSoOYmRs
NYR_Fan, the duckbill feels that the Dubinsky went to the home of Alaskan king crabs to find his game once again for the second time. He had the game prior to injury, and it shall return with the vengeance of a pompeiian pyroclastic blast! You must excuse the duckbill for continual ancient roman references but he has had his beak firmly placed in the Netflix documentary and history section.
Duckbill movie pick of the week: Eight Mile High about the luscious Uschi Obermaier.
All this food talk… I’m totally starving… I love chili sauces, omg. Spicy, not spicy, it doesn’t matter, they are all awesome. Once, I was on such a Sriracha kick that I was putting it on everything. And I mean EVERYTHING. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, it didn’t matter what time of day or what I was having. I put it on my oatmeal once. I Carcillo you not. That’s when I knew I had a problem. But it’s not what you think. You see, the problem was that I ran out of Sriracha. Don’t worry, I got more. That was the spiciest oatmeal ever.
Latona, the duckbill will cherish his lettuce point and volley with a dollop of gratitude for his verbal prowess which he feels is diminutive when placed against the formidable, indomitable and magisterial lexicon of the great one known only as ‘LATONA’ aka the lunch box magistrate.
billy, may duckbill suggest your partake in some blue suede shoes for dinner?
Sally, I’m a huge fan of Always Sunny. Might you say we’re getting “hammered?” hahahaaaaa
billy, you MUST buy sauce from here then: http://www.hotdogcharlies.com/
It’s what I had for dinner and it’s only found in the Albany NY area and omg, delicious.
Marek Zidlicky anyone?
Duckbill, “He had the game prior to injury, and it shall return with the vengeance of a pompeiian pyroclastic blast!” From your beak to god’s ears!
He’s Alaskan. FOUR MILLION!
DZ going all Italian Don Johnson and Dubi, well, nice jacket man, lol ———-> per woywhatcamacalit
Hehe, didn’t he rock a white tux last year? His hair always looks SO silly.
FOUR MILLION!
I thought that was his rookie year with the white tux…
lol @ beak to God’s ear…g1 senorita sally!
sally, on Jupiter’s Stone his game shall return!!!
LMAO duckbill!
I agree FOUR MILLION percent!!!
Mickey, you may be right. Del Zaster wore one last year?
Sally, DZ went white in 2010, HIS rookie year.
Haha! Clearly I have not been keeping track of who’s worn the silly white suit and when. Mickey is now the Accelerated Chief Archivist of Casino Night White Suit Apparel. Mazel tov!
WOHOOO! I have a position on RR now! My life goal is accomplished! :) Thank you so much Sally!
(err, I just happen to have lots of pics of the team on my computer and they are by year, so it was only a matter of finding the year and the pics, lol)
Genius!
But don’t get too excited, it is a non-paying position. There are probably some perks, but I haven’t thought of them yet.
subban big hit in devs game
freaking devils get another break take the lead 4-3.
flyers win as well
no help tonight
Freakin’ Habs really, really suck!! They give up 4 straight goals to the debbies after leading the game 3-1 – what a piece of carcillo team that is!
Did Gomez score?
This is one of the greatest websites in hockey history. LMFAO
http://www.didgomezscore.com/
“Live at the Bush League Amateur Hour”
I like it!
I agree! the Gomez site is hilarious. at least the Habs fans seem to have some sense of humor. hahahahahaaaaaa I think WE are laughing more though :D
actually, Gomez is the one that is laughing… all the way to the bank. And the Habs fans are laughing more too… all those Cups… ok, I’ve just ruined the whole thing, great.
Hat trick.
No, Gomez did not score – the crowd was really giving him the business, though – in NJ…
Boston lost – real big help!
Watching a game from the pebble that my team isn’t involved in gives me a much better feel for the place over there – and I’ve gotta say, that franchise, it’s PA announcer, its TV coverage, and its fans are, to quote Miami, totally Bush-League!
Really, the franchise should be in Atlanta or Memphis, where the goobers in the seats don’t know anything about hockey whatsoever. It is a minor-league operation, in the biggest hockey market in possibly the whole league, if total population of the area is a factor.
It’s the SAM GAGNER SHOW IN EDMONTON! WOW!!!!!
Sam Gagner of Oilers is killing the Hawks with 4 goals and 7 points in a game! Someone should check up on Olga see if he’s ok lol
Katheryn Tappen!
HA! Trade B-Rich for Gagner!
8 points in game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
GRETZKY
COFFEY
GAGNERMake that EIGHT points! LOL
insane!
WHAT IN HOLY HELL?
Sam Gagner scores 8 points in a single game against the Chicago Blackhawks, ties Wayne Gretzky and Paul Coffey for the Edmonton record…
:O
unfugginreal
It’s official: firstrowsports is dead. http://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/feds-bust-michigan-web-pirate-yonjo-quiroa-illegal-web-streaming-nfl-nba-nhl-games-article-1.1016032
His Dad was a player…taken from Wiki:
“Dave Gagner was selected in the first round of the 1983 NHL Entry Draft (12th overall) by the New York Rangers and bounced back and forth between New York and their American Hockey League farm team, the New Haven Nighthawks over the next several seasons. He remained with the Rangers’ organization until 1987 but was never able to completely get over the hump and earn a full-time roster spot, largely due to his being considered too small for an NHL forward.
His career took off when he was traded to the Minnesota North Stars in 1987. ”
Let’s not make the same mistake with MZA :P
I take it back. The .EU extension is still up.
His career took off when he was traded
As if that hasn’t happened a million times. :(
http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2012/02/sports-domains-seized/
Spider, the feds just seized 307 sports-related domains…
I remember Dave Gagner!
Dave Gagner was a really good player, drafted in the first round in ‘83 by Craig Patrick. But traded by Phil Esposito with Jay Caufield for Jari Gronstrand and Paul Boutilier, October 8, 1987. Good deal.
Sarcasm alert.
Gronstrand – he was pretty good too, if I recall….?
Sarcasm? By who? Carp?
