Game 69.
Ya boys no longer on a losing streak … and everybody but them looking ahead to Pittsburgh and Sid the Skid Crosby Thursday. So I guess this is not a Must-win game.
Henrik Lundqvist is down with the flu, so Martin Biron starts in goal and Chad (Ochocinco) Johnson dresses as his backup.
Ryan Callahan (foot) and Michael Del Zotto (hip) remain out day to day. Mats Zuccarello remains in, as the Rangers go with the same lineup they used Sunday vs. the Islanders. That means John Scott and Jeff Woywitka are prucha’d. Sean Avery remains soon-to-be-retired.
Marc Staal plays against his brother, Eric … yes, that’s his brother. And Jeff Skinner used to be a ballerina or figure skater or synchronized swimmer or gymnast or something. I forget.

Steve Holt!
BAM! The Captain better look out!
it’s go time!
>>...so Martin Biron starts in goal…
Oh dear! I wonder how many pucks will go between the pads.
Any thoughts on the idea that this
forcedbreak might help Lundqvist kind of reset himself and come back playing the way he can rather than the way he has been over the last couple of weeks? I don’t think we can beat out the Pens for the first seed without that…Good news for me: the game is on NBCSN so I can watch it on the teevee.
Good news for some: Doc Emrick is not calling the game (I like him).
Good news for all: no figure skating videos, since the game isn’t on MSG.
Good news for Thursday: another game for me on the teevee.
Bad news for Thursday: NBCSN is picking up the Pittsburgh ROOT Sports broadcast. BARF.
Anybody watching Western Kentucky vs. Mississippi Valley Stae with Jm Nantz? HELLO FRIENDS.
Accidental strikethrough
LOL @ Sanguinetti and the bad footage of him with NYR
Charlie
i’m more concerned whether it’s just a 24 hour stomach flu or regular flu
that could leave him too weak on thursday and unable to play.
Civil War night, brother against brother!!!
‘cept our Staalsie is #4 d man now and won’t be matched up against the Concussionator very often
GO TIMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
Lets go!!!!
LETS GO!!!!
LETS GO RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANGERS!!!
Get this partay started!!!!!
Game time!!!!!!!
LETS go go gog og og og og ogo ogo go go go go!!!!!
in the old days, out with the flu meant hungover…o_O
Let’s Go Rangers!
“The glorious, the gorgeous Nassau Coliseum.” Tongue firmly in cheek.
RANGERS!!!!
RANGERS!!!!!
Take this thang boys!!!!
LETS GO LETS GO LETS GO LETS GO LETS GO LETS GO RANGERS!!!!!!!
GO TIMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
lets go go go go go go gog og go go go!!!!!
Keep winning is all we ask….and to see RICHARDS , wake the firetruck up finally!!!!
I really hate that Lundqvist isn’t playing tonight
RANGERS!!!!
Lets kick sum azzzzzzz!!!
Greg, pumped?
Ugh. I hate that Hello Friends. Nantz has no friends, so I guess he has to pretend that the viewers are his friends.
awwww no Hank!!??? whaaaaa??? aw come on!! Biron sucks ( hate to say) awww geeezeee man !!! Hank yells at players to get outta his way and all Marty does is ”...ummm…excuse me ..uhhh ummm your blocking my veiw of the shot….”
Hank tells the muthas to get the hell outta his way!!!
JBytes, not saying he was good last time … but I don’t think any of the GA went 5-hole last time.
Mike Francesa is his friend, Tiki. He was asking Nantz to invite him to Augusta National this summer. Barf.
What Greg L. said.
LETS GO RANGERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Im pUmPeD but scared to see Biron in net!!!!
LETS GO RANGERS!!!!
RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANGERS!!!!
First place , we are NUMBER ONE!!!
Rangers are the best…lets go out and prove it…EVERYONE ( team) gets up to play us…its like were the friggin Stanley Cup champs or something?
>>LOL @ Sanguinetti and the bad footage of him with NYR
Yeah, I was a bit confused by that video montage. I guess MSG wanted to show Rangers fans why they got rid of him?
What Sally said as well!!
LETS GO RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANGERS!!!
Biron already allowed a few through his legs
but Sally said Steve Holt. Whatever the clutterbuck that means.
That kind of goal that beat Neuvirth almost happened to Lundqvist last week, but Henrik is more alert.
Isles beating Craps 1-0. I’m rooting for the Isles!
LW also said “Steve Holt”. Carp, you need to watch Arrested Development, the second best TV show of all time.
Boomer Esiason and Phil Simms are friends of Nantz, too, but they are also co-workers like Francesa, so I agree that Nantz has no actual friends.
Ugh. I cant stand Francesa either.
Saw the stuff earlier. ilb was so proud of me last night at dinner for making things right w you Carp!!
I don’t buy that Mike Francesa has any friends either
And even the Mrs. knows about stuff on the blog. She really likes Miami Pimp and thinks his stuff really funny…
>>… but I don’t think any of the GA went 5-hole last time.
Well then, let’s hope he keeps the streak going. He’s also due for shutout.
Sally – What’s the best?
I think Carp should start introducing the game threads with hello friends.
LETS GO RANGERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Need points tonite….stay ahead of the Cindy’s…..Need big game from Biron…...LGR
This is the second best blog out there, after Bob Loblaw’s Law Blog.
Tiki, I thought Mrs Ilb had better taste than that :)
Spiderpig, The Wire.
This game could be so big if only the size of the space between Biron’s legs wasn’t even bigger
LW, I haven’t posted anything in over 3 years, but that was the name of my livejournal.
Ha! In the Garden…Just hugged Carp…life is good!
Let’s Go Rangers!!
It would be nice to go into Thursday’s game with a six point lead on the Diving Cindys. I’m disgusted with the drama of Cindy’s big return.
Does anyone know what Skinner did before becoming a hockey player?
Mrs Ilb has exquisite taste. She picked ilb!
Hey anyone else still miss JD in the booth?
Sangs with a parenteau hat trick tonight a tko of Rupp, Dubi and Bickel?
Who gets more Sam and Joe coverage tonight, Sindy or Skinner?
Evening gang!
Staal brothers game= drinking game!
May horselips get boils on his assen and not be able to play on Thursday.
GO GO RANGERS!
No touching, Sally.
I’m proud of you, too, tiki. I just saw one of your best friends here at MSG.
Sally, you meant B&B, right?
Is Eric Staal any relation to Mark?
Uncle Junior!!
Staal and Bickel starting with Hagelin-Richards-Gaborik.
WHODA THUNK THAT?!
what was the name of the guy who was the p.a. announcer at MSG before Tollesson and his dead eyes took over? I still prefer that dude’s voice.
also, why is Uncle Junior singing the National Anthem?
I hate these miserable pricks that open their mouths during the anthem!
My Mama! Isnt she as gorgeous as ever?
Damn, Old Man River must’ve sang the anthem during the Civil War
Uncle Junior looks like Don Cherry now
LET’S GO RANGERS!!!
Carp, yes. I meant Beavis & Butthead. Best show of all time!
Thank you, drive through.
Richards, Gaborik and Hagelin is a great line
Mickey, check your mail tomorrow lol
All Skinner all the time on NBC
ZzzzzzzzZZZzzzZZZzzzZZZucccca…..
Let’s Go Boys!!
don’t know what the hell you guys were talking about, but that was Johnny Ola who sang the national anthem. He’s the reason Fredo went fishing and didn’t come back.
Never seen the wire as I only got HBO starting last summer.
got to hit the damn net from there, Anisimov
Dear Rangers,
You are playing both days surrounding my birthday. While I would LOVE all 4 points, I want 2 as a minimum. Preferably the 2 coming tonight.
Love,
Mikey.
Snail mail, Linda? Okie dokies!
Mikey?!?
GABBBBBBBO
WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Score!!!
GABBY!
nice!
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
GABYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!
GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAABBBBBBBBBBYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
what??? WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!
Happy Birthday Mick!!
Gaaaaaaaaaaaaby!!!
Rangers are finally on the receiving end of a fortuitous bounce. 1-nil.
Crosby update
HAHA, Latona. Apparently, I don’t know my own screenname :P
Gaborik is SICK!!!!!!
QUIK HANDS!!!!
GABORIK IS GOLDEN!!!!!!
RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANGERS!!!!!!
Four lines, four good shifts, then a goal. Can’t script it any better than that.
Mickey’s, b-day? Happy b-day!
Mitchell is so dime-a-dozen
That guy has a quick pair of hands.
See that deflection by Allen, the Canes D, to make the puck go off the boards perfectly to Gabby? SLOVAK SNIPER.
Kenny Albert comparing gabby goal to Moulsons on sunday
Turco in net for the Bruins, and he gives up two goals in the first two minutes. LOL!
Thank you NYR! I fully accept birthday wishes a day early :)
the call that on Bickel but not Artie being held, spun and knocked to the ground
I think Skinner used to be a butterfly before he played hockey.
It’s tomorrow, Orr. But thanks just the same :)
Happy early Birthday MickeyM!!!!
hope you get one present tonight!
WOW!!
LOL! Beer-off?
DEAR GOD, MARTY! NEVER DO THAT AGAIN!
Biron,
You’re awful
You and me both, jpg. Thanks! :)
Feds just killed someone!
Jokinen fakes an injury. Get the firetruck up.
STAY ON YOUR FEET DAMMIT!
Biron is sharp to start this game!
nice highstick from Fedotenko
And saved a goal, in the same shift…
A+ to the Ranger that blocked that. Good awareness.
Biron is playing well apart from that asinine play with his stick
If that was Fedotenko’s stick that hit Jokinen, the league has already established that is not an offence.
Nice D Zucc!
Zucc…nice D
Carp awesome Godfather reference!
Fedotenko’s stick is a repeat offender.
Finally heading home. Enjoy the game folks! LGR!
So this game is also on MSG? I miss figure skating…not.
Zuccarello’s passing is so much fun to watch…
Nice defensive play there, too
WTB Gabby?!!?!?
that pass was post-idiotic!
Rangers look a little quicker tonight
another good play by Fedostinko.
Fact of the day: Chad LaRose is French for “Chad The Rose”
this Carolina team is flying right now
flying where? to Hamilton, Ontario?
26-43 record is flying?
LOL Turco gives up 3 goals on 6 shots, Thomas is coming in for him
Lloyd are you high?
Rangers are skating well, too, though
i’ve seen drains less clogged than what the ‘cane are doing to the neutral zone
Too much time in the Ranger end
Yippee…Bonus coverage on NBC….Cindy vs Rangers Thursday
maybe the four losses in the last six games=flying?
Staal:
What’s up?
sigh!!
i think Lloyd is referring to the ‘cane skating (flying)
Lloyd is closet WhalerCane fan.
LGR!!!!! Too many NNs in my section…bleach….
What? Crosby’s coming back? Is there a Stall on the Penguins? Is there one on the Hurricanes? Did Jeff Skinner ever do anything else but play hockey? Is Bobby Sanguinetti still a top prospect? Is Rick DiPietro playing anymore?
lmao @ are you high… crazy
Bruins are fading. They’re not looking too good. Could be upset in the first round.
Torts interviews are always fun!
jpg:
yeah but I sort of thought anyone who claimed to know anything about hockey would know “flying” meant “skating quickly”
Fedotenko is quarter-a-dozen, today…
Torts Time!!!!
and Brian survived this time.
wow, that’s a freakin circus clown tie torts is wearing ! if it was any bigger, it would be another shirt
Thought maybe you’d rolled a Dubi, Lloyd.
There’s a crane skating?
Forget this game. When do we get to see John Tavares again?
I love the Pens!
so how is redden doing down in the minors
i have no idea why i jumped into the Lloyd (current) mess
i just think they want to bust your cojones there Lloyd.
use ice. it’ll help.
yes, they skate quickly. They are being badly outplayed.
God dammit! How many times, Sam? HOW MANY TIMES!!!???
Orr what did Sam say? Im listening to kenny Albert
Redden is tutoring the youth
Jokinen with the miraculous recovery. Thank God!
Torts was kind to Engblom
and playing with Wellman
ORR!!
making me glad i’m stuck with NBC sports channel
Mike Rupp is flying.
This might be ONE time that I glad its an NBCS game so I don’t have the hear the Staalsarebrothers allllllllllll time time. Also, it’s saving my liver, lol.
FIRE SATHER! {{{{{LINDA}}}}} Sweetie
Dubi is gonna need a new jock since that move knocked his off
LW, are you high?
FIRE SATHER {{{{{{OLGA}}}}}} Baby!!
Wellman is flying!
Broadway, for aboot the tenth time in the last few games, he says NYR has a PP, when it’s the Canes.
Amelia Earhart is NOT flying…
Hags has Higginsitis the last 2 games
Rupp is flying like that Delta plane in Atlanta today.
How bout them Pens!
Wait until Sam finds out Brandon Sutter has some hockey-playing relatives.
CT calling the game in my ear…hysterical…and way better than JM :)
Crosby Update
Bill Cosby wishes he had an R in his name.
MickeyM
i think the ‘cane defender tipped it.
hoping that was the reason and not that Hags has Higginstitis
Did someone say high?
they cut out the part where Tortorella said, “And they best way to showcase that is to line him up with Mike Rupp.”
the Dubi stache maybe coming back!
SweLi sure is getting chances
Nice job by Mitchell there.
What a decision and a pass by Mitchell. Wow!
Torts with some nice words for Zuccarello. Strange, seeing how much he hates him and ran him out of town.
Just trying to run him out of town again.
C’mon, Hags!
wow…Mitchell is so DAD
on net. on net, on net.
PLS
a must-shoot pass?
Mickey, it’s either 2 points, 4 points, or shooting on net, you cannot have all 3 lol
Canes are flying backwards a lot.
nice coverage by Dubi for Bickel
Blogmama – What’s NN?
How come the Rangers don’t use a third “A” while Callahan is out? Girardi was an alternate while Staal was out, right?
hey Linda
good to hear the great news on your daughter.
continued good health!!
Exactly, LW. It is strange. ;)
Why not, Lin?? I demand it all!
4-0 Lightning. I wish I was at that game. I couldve actually had Lightning fans on my side.
they didn’t do it last year, either, Spider, when Capt. Clutch was out.
thanks a bunch jpg!!
Well Mickey, they are men, they can only give you one thing at a time lol
Craps down 3-0!
Side note: It doesn’t seem like any teams have a different player wear the C while their captain is out. Have rules changed such that A’s are allowed to talk to refs and they don’t need to name a captain for each game? I thought it was cool whenever Leetch would wear the C when Messier was out.
what a nitwit Micheletti is
3-1
LMAO, Linda.
Touche!
Knick-knack paddy-whack ya give a dog a bone..
AGrossRecord Mats Zuccarello leads the Rangers with two hits.
LOL!
Home. How was the 1st?
Almost as excellent as going to buy some presents with your homies or leaving the gate open.
Sally:
Rangers had a pretty decent period and finished strong
oh man, its gonna be all fuggin crosby all the damned time the next few days
Zucca is gonna tap him on Thursday and sausage lips will be out for the next 3 months
Avery says he’s retired.
It seems he was the last one to know it…
why is Tide being stolen? LMAO
Crosby Update
David says “did someone say high?”
Bing Crosby? Cathy Lee Crosby? Bill Crosby?
yea, i read that about Tide earlier…”orange gold”, so weird…
Does anybody know what happened to the dude who used to run this blog? I think his name was Sam.
LOL Olga.. Avery
Lin, “Zucca is gonna tap him”. Oh that’s nasty ;)
stealing it and using it to pay for drugs… i’m about to fall off the chair. That IS some expensive laundry detergent lol
Sidney, Stills, Nash and Young
lmao Sally
MSGCrosbyupdate150palooza
Hartford was no fun…limited OJ and no Wi-Fi in the lobby. Time for my next career move! Modeling, restauranteur, sunglasses spokesman – the sky is the limit!
oh the auto-correct changed Henrik to Hernia!!!
ho ho
god does MSG suck
Who has a better stache? Me or Ron Jeremy?
LMAO Lloyd, and Dubiiii with the orange gold!
Maybe they heard the song, “The Tide is High (but I’m Holding On)”
Free fries at Burger King? YUCK
“I thought he brought something we know he has, the creativity of the game. He’s very well liked in the locker room, very well respected in our locker room. He brings a creativity. He sees the ice. It’s a gift that he has.” Torts
Torts hates Zuccarello…
Zuccarello will never be a Ranger again…
Zuccarello is a career minor leaguer…
who was the dummy who said the Rangers were dominating this game
Brian Leetch and Marc Staal who’s, you know, on the team, seem to feel otherwise
complaint for first per we give up the blue line way too easy slow them down in neutral zone.
whoever said Zuccarello is slow…is obviously just plain high.
NYR_FAN:
Tortorella says a lot of things. He also said yesterday that he didn’t know if they’d be able to find a place him. Have to wait to see how things play out before reaching any conclusions. I happen to think he’ll find himself on the bench if he doesn’t play at an extremely high level.
a place for him…
The tide is high
Spent first intermission with CTB and Blogmama.
Game back on on!
that was me, Lloyd. I thought it was all Rangers except for the PPs.
LOL! Stahl has dumped Staal a few times tonight.
Micheletti missed the elbow Staal put into his brother’s face
Sam Weinman is at Golf Digest. He was at a Rangers game recently. One of the all-time greats.
carp, I’ve always wondered when players get the flu, don’t they get flu shots? If not, why not?
holy holy that was the penalty???
That was one CRAZY penalty call.
bullcarcillo
what the hell was that
Holy phantom call batman!
That is one mind blowing call.
“I sure do ask a lot of rhetorical questions, don’t I Sam? Huh?”
One has to wonder what the hell do these referees see on the ice sometimes.
waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah lol
Umm…where was the penalty?
In french LaRose means go to La Box
So I guess since we got 3 power play goals last game, we wont be seeing a power play this game?
That’s a good call
AA just upgrade his status to “2 quarters-a-dozen”. Rupp still in a “junk bonds” status, Biron – “penny stocks”…
Did LaRose actually take him down? Couldn’t really see it
Even that second clip was an iffy call. I saw it as two guys colliding.
i got a flu shot in october and got the flu a couple weeks ago.
but i’m not the king, just a loyal subject
4everanger:
your gene pool remains in insolvency
Stupid play by Step-On
jpg’s sister. they do get flu shots. ilb explained it better that I did earlier, that the flu for which you get inoculated isn’t necessarily the flu they get … which is sometimes a stomach virus that they call the flu .. or something. I don’t know. A trainer told me there are so many strains of flu that the shot can’t protect you from all of them. Again, I don’t know.
MDZ invisible tonight
Yeah FlaRanger…so is Callahan
you’re welcome, Lloyd.
Marc’s Tall
nice job by Bick, that Cane was getting nowhere near that rebound
Biron making that save to spite you Lloyd.
Wow! Feds had a nice chunk of the net open!
Hurricanes are flying so fast that Steve Eminger is going around them now.
CTB:
I’m not going to rip on Biron. He’s playing well tonight.
Your right Staal, now that you mention it
I have never had a flu shot and I can’t remember the last time I got the flu…Prust sayin.
Lloyd Braun March 13th, 2012 at 7:49 pm e
Biron,
You’re awful
lmao you guys are insane
lloyd
still time for him to get beat by 50 feet out
i hope there is a stream available on thursday because i do NOT want to listen to the lick and suck fest that the announcers on that game will be having
eric:
I guess. He looked like a tool on that giveaway earlier but he’s been better since then. I don’t think he’s been tested as much as the two Ranger lackey announcers would have you believe, but he’s been as good as he’s had to be.
hey Linda!
trying to decide whether to just stay in a movie theater all night on thursday
or just down a bottle of Robitussin and wake up friday afternoon
and find out the final score.
Lin, I think that fest is going to be unavoidable unless you hit the mute button, no matter what the feed.
Good grief
... but this place should be fun Thursday night.
agree Carp
put the tv on mute and just blast some good music on the stereo
(calming music)
lmfao you are most definitely correct Carpy!!
jpg, pass on the robitussin.. just go to the movies without your phone lol
Not sure of you guys heard this or not but Crosby is coming back on Thursday! I repeat – Crosby is coming back on Thursday!
His has been a public service announcement.
You know, if I hear one more mention of Thursday’s match against Pittsburgh, I will boycott it.
calming music, like the pan flute? lol
Maybe its me but Biron looks a lot better tonight
rangers better wake the hell up. too much time pinned in by stiffs on there 3rd line
Eric – come by the office tomorrow
Staal Wart – Same here re: the flu.
this clap clap clap your hands tune sucks. it should only be played at Chuck E Cheese and basketball games lol
I think the whole argument the NHL makes that fans want to see the league’s stars is so funny, because I’d bet a large majority of you guys would be perfectly happy if Crosby (and Malkin) missed Thursday’s game. Just like they used to cheer here when Mario was announced as a scratch.
need to show a little more action in the canes zone.
we’re in decent control in our zone but it would nicer if we were 172 feet away from Marty
Obama is at Dayton for tonight’s “first round” NCAA Tourney games, with the prime minister of England!
“And the crowd with a Let’s Go Rangers chant.”
Hank who?
Tampa 5 Boston 0.
Maybe Biron looks a lot better because Biron hasn’t given up any goals. Just a thought.
I will be at a bar for at least the start of the game, if not the entire game on Thursday. I’m ok with that actually. Saves me from the Crosby love fest
Rangers haven’t done a whole lot in this game apart from the goal and the last few minutes of the first
I didn’t know Pee Wee Herman plays goal for the Rangers
Biron does not, however, look good at playing the puck on dump-ins.
BRADLEY!
NAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY
richyyyyyyyy
Richards is such a bust
BPLUS WITH THE ROOFIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and his toofies
The figure skater sure looked like he’d rather be somewhere else than competing on that shift.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Richard’s!!!!
RICHIE IS ALIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVE!
I mean you watch him play and all you can think is Chris Drury
Brad Richards, baby!!!! Welcome to NY!!!
This is like an addiition at the trade deadline!!!
How did Biron let that one through?
BRADFORD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rangers are getting Richards again. 2-0.
Gabby is flying and Richards is chucking wood!!!!
RICHIE!!!!
LMFAOPIMP @ NAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY
is there any way we can cut Richards and bring Drury back?
Can I start defending the contract now Carp?
Carp
i’m sure you know some of the NHL guys see if they’d go off the record
in regards to cindy’s absence.
i think him not being around allowed soooooooooooooooooooooooo many other players
to be promoted and in turn that helped the game.
chucking wood.. i’m dyin! hilarious winston
Where did this Richards guy come from?
I’d rather have MZA on this line than Dublowsky…
My Iona Gaels are playing there tonight, with the president in the house.
I think Rupp was just stripped by the ghost of Chris Drury
nicely stated jpg
Great signing, CTB (who, by the way, is wearing his Richards jersey tonight).
Torts is a huge Zamfir fan.
Universe is pitching another shutout tonight against the Devs. 2-0
I think we are gonna score 6 goals tonight.
Probably, jpg, but the league doesn’t think that way. Sadly.
Zamfir….”The Master”
I KNEW YOU’D GET IT DDE!! you never disappoint!!
what a freakin fantastic time for our big boys to get going! Think HageMe needs to stay with them
Sausage lips back in the spotlight=NHL Dream
Wow, just found. Lloyd, what that personal attack came from? What do you know about my gene pool? I didn’t call you a clinical idiot…yet, which you obviously are. But it seems you are also a bigot.
NAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY
BRADLEY X2!
Linda, one day youre gonna have to explain all your nicknames to me!
RICHARDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
MR EDCHARDS IS ON FIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!
RICKY RICKY RICKY!!!!!
ARDS!!!
oh baby!!! CAAAAAARRRRLLLLL!!!!! to RICHIE!!!!!!!!!!!!
LOL! HORSE TEETH FROM HE MAN!
BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Biron shoulda stopped that one.
TIMES TWO!!!
BRich now have new minimum – 2 goals per game, at least.
C’mon, MZA!
They’re going in for Rich folks now. 3-0.
The boys are back!! Wool Hoooo!!!!!!
Zucc-foot.
Great contract!!!
BULL CARCILLO CALL!!!!
PANSIFICATION OF HOCKEY!
4ever, just ignore Lloyd. If he knew the person you were and the intelligence that you have, he’d feel like an idiot for his comment.
B Plus because carp said that on one of his recent radio interviews between periods.
Mr. Edchards because of Mr ed lol
SweLi short for Swedish Lightning
Zucc with slew foot?
STOP THE MADNESS!!!
bad hobbit, bad!
Maloney was just going nuts on the radio….LOL
Boris Hagelin! Kid is money!
What time is the flying Canes’ flight?
Who is your star now?
LOL Lin! And HageMe?
I think Skinner is polishing his pitching wedge.
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Son of a witch
Biron ….jeez….
HageMe, because people call me Lin. hence Hagelin=HageMe lol
i don’t even really blame Biron on that goal
Girardi and Staal and (?) kept playing around
and didn’t get the puck out.
ugh!!
Maloney—a bogus penalty
Zucc may be taking a seat
I wonder if Zuccarello has hairy feet?
Staal still loves the stick-check.
Looks like MZA might be in the doghouse.
dubi getting closer to hitting the net lol
Dumb penalty by Zucc. Why was Richards on the PK?
Double grrrrrrrrrrrr
damnit
Oh boy! Fasten your seat belts!
TIME OUT!
Ugh! All because of that stupid penalty
Youre a genius Linda! :)
I dont understand what just happened. Effing A. We just allowed this to become a game again.
lousy backcheck by Stralman and Dubinsky.
Biron thinks this is the 1st period
Zuccarello on the bus to Hartford yet?
sheeeeeeeeeeeshus!!!!
3 on 2
bad coverage and Biron bending
(bad luck of where tipped puck went)
ugh!!!!!!!!!
The stick check is lazy defense. Staal needs to take the body every time.
Where’s the fuggin penalty?
OH OH! Suddenly it got sad up in here! But hey, Crosby is coming back on Thursday…so…some good news
Wow. open hockey.. Will be more scoring.
They’re going to run him out of state again.
that was a block by DAD Boyle
did you really expect this to be easy with Biron? MZA is probably on his way to CT now…. he better hope for like 5 PPs in the 3rd to prove himself…
for all you MZA supporters his mind less penalty has turned this freaking game around. 200 ft from his net. bench the kid
yeah Carp
nhl brass probably are pro-cindy
that’s why i mentioned if you knew someone that would be little more forthcoming
especially off the record.
and if they can’t see that cindy’s absence hasn’t allowed those interested in hockey and even casual fans to grasp more (to love) about the nhl
then they’re just pathetic morons.
Guess we’re not gonna get anymore power plays…
I dont know what these 2 bums are talking about, we get more power plays than our opponents on most nights. Ill look it up, but I doubt it. And even if we do, its only because they know we cant score on it.
With all seriousness you can’t blame Marty for any of this two…
He was good so far, IMO.
Only time you see MZA tonight is on the PP, I’m guessing.
Damn I am never one to complain about refs but come on….
I’d be happy if Crysby never played another NHL shift again.
Oh wait, he’s on the ice. I guess Torts doesn’t hate him.
Honestly, the NHL should be selling a guy like Lundqvist, who is as good a spokesman as there is, does tons of community work, gets it in every sense, and, oh yeah, plays in the media capital of North America.
Or shootout, Orr
“The next goal is huge!”
Yeah, a goal-mouth deflection and a wide-open rebound. Blame the goalie.
Odd man rush hour….
Torts didn’t run him out of town?
no blood. four minutes.
Joe Mich just said the Canes were flying. Not sure whether Lloyd will like that or not…
Please bleed, Feds!
two minutes? did they change the rule again?
powah play
4 minutes? It should be!
That should be FOUR minutes, yes?
Lloyd likes Joe.
Looks like an injury. That should be 4 minutes
Stay down and you get 4 minutes
ok, that guy toweling off the stick … that belongs on pay per view
what jerk-aasens on nbc
“duh, i think he’s faking it.”
Crazy period.
Honestly, I hoped and thought that it would be much easier game for Rangers
too bad Feds doesn’t bleed white like that guy on the islanders
Wow! Isles blow a three goal lead to the Craps. Pathetic..
Lloyd is just a bored islander fan. He’s had nothing to do since late October.
Haha Linda! I just rewound to see that. Unfortunately, not in view on standard definition, but I saw the motion!
LOL @ bleed white
Carp
why you blaming the goalie?
i mean there was a
a goal-mouth deflection and a wide-open rebound.
sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesh!
Ramsey needed to come running out with the towel
Exactly, Olga. The same, as for PA Parent. last game.
I bet a few bucks on Sabres 2/1 to make the playoffs. Stupid Icelanders. Stupid Craps.
LOL. Devils pulled goalie with like 5 min left and Briere scored!
Jonathan Toews and Joel Quenneville called in and said it was only two minutes.
yea, i’m chilling with the HD feed tonight,and his stroking motion was very highly defined lol
Carp
agree about promoting Hank
and i’m sure that there are 28 other players that could be promoted
some of which actually did get a bit of a boost this season
due to talking about someone else in the nhl.
Can’t even really get on Biron for those goals
It’s just like Drury 1.5 is having the fluke game of his career and the Rangers have dominated every second since the opening faceoff
Crazy stuff went on
jpg, i think Carpy was being sarcastic
“for all you MZA supporters his mind less penalty has turned this freaking game around. 200 ft from his net. bench the kid”
Blame the refs… Give me a break….
David I Pankin
NYR,
That’s going to be a call every time.
lmao Drury 1.5
Although I don’t think he should be benched.
So we have 230 power play opportunities to 218 power play opportunities against.
The Hurricanes have 247 and 202, respectively.
So we get a couple more, but the Hurricanes likely get more than their opponents in most games.
Anybody listening to the radio feed?
Yeah, Biron had no chance on that second one. Maybe a chance for better position on the first.
the zuccarello penalty was b.s.
Maloney said that call was terrible and I agree.
3 months like the whole summer
My local co-op aasen-backward cable service only has local channels and ESPN/ESPN2 in HD. KALETAS!
Tripping? Please…Zucc didn’t touch the guy’s legs….Zuccarello took the guy down with his arm…
Fedotenko would have drawn 4 minutes if he could make his eyes bulge out like Parenteau did.
Crosby Update
CSNY going back on tour…
lmao KALETAS!!!!!!
ilb, if you read this later on tonight…
I know exactly who to blame for the 2 Hurricanes goals. It was Blogmama. Once we went up 3-0, she probably told CT this game’s over, and thats bad luck. And I always warn her about it too!
The Flyers scored an ENG with 4:45 left? Ou est Boom Boom?
Wow! Universe has three shutouts in a row, and four in his five games. What the fugg?
do we ever have a laugher. geez a 3-0 lead and again we are holding on.
Blame Mama!
Boom Boom thinks they should have pulled the goalie in the first period. where did he go? guess he got mad when I called him a floppy-footed clown and a racist.
Love this little guy who keeps getting me the puck. He does all the work and I get to snipe.
Perfect!
Agreed Eric. Why can’t I have a bowl of ice cream in peace for once in a3rd period…
Intermissions are borrrrrrrrrrring.
That call on Zucc was horrific. Hell, the reffing in the league is horrific over the past few months
Whether or not the call was bad, they’re going to call it every time.
LGR!
Rangers aren’t talented enough to have too many easy games. You know that
no Sam not Zuccarelo save. Zuccarello miss the net.
HOLY MOLEYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
MZA misses the net
Butt-Chin gives up the puck
Staal hits the post
FUGG!
put 2 def at the point please
I thought Staal’s shot went in at first. So lucky!
Is the guys name noodle?
daaaaaamnzy
post? or save?
Post
Zuccchini can’t finish…
lmfao noodle! pretty close
Linda – I tried to get the master of animated GIFs (no pun intended), bubbaprog on Twitter to make one for the towel-stick motion, but alas he had the game in SD as well and couldn’t do it. :(
aw damn!! it was hilarious and would have been well received on the BH FB lol
what the hell!?
has everyone forgot how to get the puck on net?!?
Oh no!
4 mins of pp time and its the same old
R-A-N-G-E-R-S.
sesame street style song now.. orr must be dancing
If this game was outdoors, Rupp would have scored there.
that was post.
lmao Carpy! that’s his niche
Gabby in puckbeast mode..
Sam needs to check his fuggin ears. that hit the fuggin post.
the synchronized swimmer.
I <3 Hagelin lol
puck on edge for Richards led to high shot
Linda – You saw the GIF of Rupp running into the glass, right?
Time for Feds to start scoring a little. This team needs secondary scoring to finish teams.
Carp was that dude tryin to give himself whiplash?
God hags gift wrapping things for these guys…finish!!!!!
no spider lol
Stralman’s gotten really good at that.
Moving heart attack…
That was Tyutin-like.
apparently i am posting comments too quickly lol ;-)
Stralman likes the hip check a lot
That was almost a Tappen for Carolina.
Hahaha. Moving heart attack.
Stralman does a lot more right than wrong. Not bad for such an easy signing.
sam
speak for yourself about exciting.
Nothing comes easy for Rangers…
you’re not going to start that again, are you Lin?
Owie for McD :(
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eUbntU2N7xY
you’re right, Chris.
i did not contribute to the afternoon hijinx, just busted my gut laughing at what Manny and Sally were posting up
No stoppages for the under 14 TV timeout, so we’re gonna have 3 tv timeouts in the final 9:41 unless there’s a lack of stoppages.
i do have to go back and read from about 1:30 CST though lol
Linda – It was on ScottyHockey’s blog after the game, but now it’s not loading for me. Only the still. See if it works for you: http://i40.tinypic.com/33o2po4.gif
Carp
i know you love Marc Staal
but sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesh
what do you mean, jpg?
LMAOOO! Anybody see Orlov in the shootout for the Craps?
still for me also Spider lol
Craps win. Isles suck
Did not win a tshirt. Game over, season over.
sheesh Orr, they were up 4-1 at one point, did they pull the goalie for 30 minutes?
Eric Staawhl is Marc Stoll’s brother?! That’s news to me!
WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
HAGS!
hagsssssssssssss

dont let up after a goal. no dumb pen now. finish them
Maloney “Hagelin has been wonderful”
gaborik and drury 3.7, why should they ever play together
“dude that is so totally gross”
lmfao Spider
MIKED!!!!!!!! Long time buddy!!
Rangers fans, you’re new numbah one line! The Slovak Leprechaun, Mr. Edchards, and HeMan Hagelin
Remember when Torts ran Hagelin out of town?
basically
there are spots in Staal’s game that i wasn’t happy with last year
and i’m happy that he’s come back but there are still certain decisions
that he makes that cause me to pull out what’s left of the hair on my head
there were a couple incidents tonight but i can’t think of ‘em now.
i know it’s a game of mistakes but it’s as if Girardi has improved when he was split
from Staal yet Staal is still stuck in the same mental zone as last year.
Hagar the Hagelin!!!
nice Mickey Swagelin Hagelin!
if brad richards is beetle bailey does that make Gaborik Doonesbury?
Get Richards the hat trick!
lmao beetle bailey
Does ths mean Torts doesn’t have to use the Tom Renney line generator anymore?
I stole it from elsewhere on the interwebs, I have to admit, Linda.
BLueshirt Underground Mickey?
jpg, I completely agree with you. I just didn’t get the reference. I mentioned that he’s in love with the stick check in front—in other words, that he was at fault on the goal.
linzo, the carpster made the beetle bailey reference earlier in the season
Carp
I’ll try to gen to the garden early…depends on how busy my day at work will be on Thursday.
The ballerina mouthing off to Bickel. Not a good idea.
Maybe, Lin. I don’t really remember
McBain, that name just cracks me up! So close to the drummer for Iron Maiden
duckbill,
You ROCK! LGR!
Lin, I’m glad you busted your gut. I had fun with Manny. Worked a 10-hr day and got NOTHING done. Success!
OMG!!! Crosby to return vs Rangers!! Sweet Serendipity!!
i forgot, what’s the beetle bailey reference?
Crosby who?
skinner!!!!!!!!
http://tinyurl.com/7pw8xxa
McBain makes me think of the Simpsons…Raineer Wolfcastle’s movies…
Prince Carl!
Bring on Crosby chant. Not very loud, though.
This line is ridiculous right now.
IN a good way
Skinner makes me think of the simpsons lol
and we have a state senator here named Cam Ward.. just cracks me up
I don’t know about you guys but when I see Brad Richards, all I can think is Chris Drury part 6
i gotta go back and read the rest, i had to get back to work so missed the rest of the hilarity
Oh, you’d love him on the Eyeland, Lloyd.
Skinner makes me think of the X-Files.
Get Horse-Teeth the trick!!!
bet Edchards gives the hat to Hagelin
gee lloyd, really? you don’t say. thats byfuglien news to me!
lmao Hags always wants to bust out with the puck I LOVE THIS KID
Wednesday is Prince spaghetti night
Thursday is Cindy Sausage Lips night
2 more points! YESsss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Weeeeeeee….
WEEEEEEEEEEE!!
Hernia Who??
2 more points! WOOHOO
We win we win!!!
6 points up. 8 after thursday…
Solid game except for that lapse at the end of the second.
No Hank, no Cally, no Delzotto, NO PROBLEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
lmfao hernia who
YEAH!!!! 2 for 2 with Zuccarello in the lineup!
CHEMISTRYStop using the Isles win song!!
Even celebrating, it’s like someone put a horse in a #23 jersey

Good job, boys! Much needed points! Now bring in the hot dog lips!
Later Headzo’s

Boston only 2 pts above Sens
carpster, you referred to Olivia Nunn dating beetle bailey…ROFL
Latona for governor!!
Backup goalie is 12-4-2. He sucks.
There’s someone on Twitter named Swagelin. He has a concussion.
how d-baggish of nbc. didn’t bother to wait for the game’s number 1 star.
of course it would never do that if it was…......
oh Linda!!
i think it may be a movie and Robitussin!!
i wonder if Fantasia is playing in the area.
Biron with a strong game as well, can’t really fault him on those goals.
Biron with 12 wins only? Trade him!
Biron played better when he didn’t think he was going to play.
hmmmmmmmmmm…..maybe Torts and Sully should keep that in mind.
#1 star was Richards, right? They cut it off just before his name came across.
give biron credit stepped up
NBC/Versus covering the Frozen Four starting Friday
Get an early look at Krieder
Give Biron a credit (whiteeyed eagle won you 12 games), no, really he was very good and solid today without any reservations.
lmao, no confidence in the movie alone eh jpg?
malkin scares me more then hot dog lips
On the radio feed, Richards dedicated his performance to the three horses that died on the set of “LucK”. Classy!
More to look forward to on Thursday
Mike Emrick will probably be back too.
Woohoo!!!
thats crazy Spider lol
Now 4-0-1 without Callahan. Not worth risking the
chemistryby putting him back in the line-up.I believe Hags only problem will be inability to grew beard for PO.
I’m thinking we might need to capture jpg and keep him locked up in a dark room for Thursday, with no internet, no tv, no nothing.
Linda, I been here everyday. just not commenting as much. what it do?
Not much reason to riot this season hahaha
That Hagelin kid is turning into a pretty special player.
true, not much riot material, but it’s always good to ‘see’ ya
Hobbit Wizard magic!!
he’s forbidden mickey! told him 2 days ago, no phone, no tv, no radio, no wife, no sister, no blog, no tin foil hat… dark closet with earmuffs on for 3 hours
Scott Howser must wants Hags even more now, huh?
Why doesn’t MSG hire Brian Leetch full-time? The Duguay and Pidto experiment is not working out.
LOL @ ‘Scott Howser’
no way Leetch wants to do this full time.. he is by far the BEST analyst on the network.. and probably one of the best analysts in the whole league
LMFAO ORR!!!!!!!!!!!! comedy platinum
Whew! That was good win! Scary moments with that Staal breakaway post-hit, though. Thought we had a tie game.
I’m away from home, and couldn’t comment during the game, but I was watching and wishing I could participate in the banter here.
Jimbo,
Save travels and pleasurable experiences, wherever you may be.
Hagelin is looking awesome lately, maybe I was/will be wrong with about him.
Smart idea there, Linda
Biron called him Hankie!!! LOL
Does Cally play with Step and Artie when he comes back? tough to break up B Rich/Gabby/Hags
The Line-Up: Must Not See TV
MickeyM and Linda
i agree
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mbs64GvGgPU
Iona Gaels rockin the Romney Church
Anyone get the feeling Dubinsky is not long for this team if he doesn’t get his butt in gear?
Andrew Gross:Torts, though, still not convinced in long-term future of Hagelin-Richards-Gaborik. “I don’t know if it’s going to work.”
sERIOUSLY? that has to be sarcastic lol
I really hope Cally can play on Thursday! I’m gonna be at the game and wan to see him score a few on the flower!
I love it when Torts cuts off the end of a reporters question to answer it. He just wants to get the hell out of there!
vogs, after hags scored and he was sitting on the bench next to dubi, i was thinking, dubi must be a lil jealous lol
Iona score?
Is Tortorella flirting with the Zuccarello reporter?
Torts told the Norwegian chick that he doesn’t know if the dwarf lord will play Thursday
Tortorella was serious when he said that, and also basically gave himself credit for putting them together after he was the one who refused to play them together for nearly the entire season. Has to remind everyone he’s the coach lest you had a moment to forget it. Stuff like that is what bugs me about Tortorella.
Iona was up by 28, now by 15 – still first half – more run and gun than tonite’s hockey game.
now half time – Gaels up 15
who the hell gives a crap about Iona
Lloyd, that’s crazy that he was serious. Wasn’t Richards brought here to be the pp savior and to play with Gabby? The whole Gabby experiment didn’t work because they couldn’t find the proper 3rd wheel. Well, lets give this trio a few games to see what happens.
dwarf lord lol
“I would look to trade Hagelin to say Detroit or Minnesota for a 2nd round pick. We simply have too much depth and too many better prospects and veterans in AHL, he will just waste away here.”
“Hagelin doesn’t impress me at all and if we can get a 2nd or 3rd rounder for him we should move him.”
“Hagelin is 23, but looks and plays like he is 18-19. I thought he was going to be a lot more like Stepan or Mike York and look really ready for NHL, but he isn’t and we need to get a draft pick in return for him or it is going to be another wasted asset.”
“Hagelin totally lacks physical game. You can’t bea 3rd or 4th liner in NHL if you don’t hit. Also a 3rd or 4th liner needs to be stronger on the puck, better along the boards and protect the puck better. I don’t see him as an effective NHLer on a good team. Maybe on a bad one where he is on top 2 lines and on PP.”
Bob’s pre-season pearls of wisdom…
Dubinsky almost assuredly will not be on the team next season.
Linda:
Dunno but he’s been opposed to them playing together for the whole season. Now that they’re having success together, he doesn’t have much of a choice but to keep them together. The way he tried to spin it is that Hagelin is the reason the line is so good, which I guess is his way of reminding you that ultimately Tortorella is the reason the line is working. But yeah, he loves to hedge when situations like this occurr and has to say things like, “well, it’s working now but we don’t know if it will continue to work.” I don’t think anyone is under any illusions about the permanence of anything in this life, let alone the first line putting up 9 points in a game. You’d think it would be enough to say they played well and move on.
LW3H:
I don’t know who Bob is but I don’t recall anyone projecting Hagelin to be anywhere near the player he is when he was first called up. It was more like, “here’s a guy to give the team some speed.” No one who said anything about Carl Hagelin at the time, including all the so-called experts and the Rangers organization said they thought they guy would wind up on the first line in four months.
Only saw second half and Hags looked liked the best player out there and our Staal was scary, no?
yes but let’s not forget that bust Brad Richards, he was terrible but scored two goals
OMG LIKE WORST CONTRACT EVER AM I RIGHT?
Lloyd, hopefully they will have the opportunity to play more than a few games together and continue the success they had tonight. We definitely need to roll 4 lines from here on out, and if these guys have some magic going between them, there’s no reason to split them up. Richards seems to have broken out of his 3 month slumber in a big way, and as someone mentioned earlier, with Hags speed and willingness to do the dirty work, he’ll be dishin to both Richards and Gabby.
I do, Lloyd, you jackwagon.
Hedberg, I thought Stahl was terrific. But, apparently he’s overrated, according to Mr. Chemistry, Czech.
Trade him for something!
Hey, the King’s out with a hernia?
Not to throw water on the fire, but I’ll be much more convinced about this R-G-H
line if they do well against a good team. I’m not thinking the Icelanders and Carolina are much of a test.
I just hope that Boyle, Prust and Fedo, who were average tonight, took a night off. They could use it.
Staal keeps on making bonehead outlet passes and turning the puck over. Yes, he is playing a lot of minutes, but I would think his brother saw a very different Mark then when he played before his brother-induced concussion.
I keep on wondering it they’re all just trying to lick their many wounds and , oh yea, if they can finish first, fine. But, if not, fine.
With Washington moving up to 1st place in their division shortly and either Florida or Ottowa in 7th or 8th place, it gives new meaning to finishing first.
Too many meatballs?
It’s difficult to comprehend how insanely idiotic some people can be.
Is Avery the answer?
I like the 2 points in the bag! Thank you Rangers for getting those. Now time for some victory ice cream
Not too sure which ‘king’ you’re talking about. Henry was out with the flu.
Seems like all is right in the world. NYR are on a winning streak and the Knickerbockers are on a losing streak. Good times! Keep it going!
Exactly, 4ever.
Also, what’s the coach supposed to say? Yes, they will be together forever, and from now until the end of time? Jeez, do two games against awful teams—one of which mailed it in—really make you go gaga over a line? Can you say Czechmates?
Orr Staal had a bad third period, don’t know about the first two, but he is progressing nicely for the run.
Depends on the question…
GySgt, Wellman’s the answer. Or Kathryn Tappen.
or, if you’re Sally … Dubinsky (2-0).
Watching Staal and Girardi on the PK in that sequence really makes one appreciate McD
Carp, it has to start somewhere. I don’t think they’ll crap the bed Thursday… maybe not get another 9 points between the 3 of them, but i’d say six could be possible. :-) And i am convinced that they will NOT lose to the pen()s
Could be its all about green energy?
Iona up by 18 3 mins into 2nd half
To clear up the flu discussion above, the vaccination is against the influenza virus, which is referred to as the flu for short. The actual influenza virus, when you get it, is very nasty. – severe headaches, muscle fatigue and achiness, fevers and mild congestion. Can take a week or more to get over, so if you can’t afford that kind of time in your life like the rangers you get the shot.
However, people slangily refer to any sort of viral infection as the flu. So a stomach virus caused b an enterovirus is referred to as a stomach ” flu” but it is not in any way related to influenza. Similarly, when people have a really bad upper respiratory infection that’s not a clear bacterial infection like a step throat or sinusitis or pneumonia, it’s caused by a virus and so slangily it gets referred to as a flu. But it is not the influenza virus that you get vaccinated against.
Make sense?
amen, Stranger.
word has it that Dubinsky was seen before the game schooling Mitchell, Prusty and Boyle, on shooting the puck wide of the net….Fedotenko and the Rangers defense (sans McD) joined in.
Auto correct Hernia’s really mean the flu? So hip pointers mean boo boo knees?
Lin, some people (around the NHL) are wondering if the Rangers should even show up Thursday, or if they will just rest guys since they have no chance.
I think they’ll have a huge game … especially if Callahan somehow returns.
Of course not, Lloyd. That would’ve been a stretch almost as big as construing a complimentary remark about Hagelin after today’s game into some sort of demonstration of the coach’s ego.
Point is, it was slightly premature then (as a few of us pointed out) to write the guy off as a wasted asset when he hadn’t played a single game of pro hockey.
Stahl will get his game back. The guy missed a lot of hockey. He’s doing well. McDonut has been a
averysendgodsend!though you had to like the result of Girardi’s missed net, matty … which might have been on purpose.
Flames up 2-1. Iginla breaks the tie with his 30th. Go Flames!
I really wish the Sharks wouldn’t make the playoffs. Jumbo Joe sucks! Soft!
So mommy “I don’t wanna go to school today” is not the flu? Who knew?
yes, carp, that was a ‘good, smart’ miss. Agreed!
Carp, at what point, in watching a new line that ‘seems’ to have some chemistry, do you begin thinking it’s truly there? IOW, do Leetchie and Trautwig and so positive this is for real. Your thoughts? Think they are?
Rick S wins in Al & MS it’s like watching a train wreck on Fox. They don’t know what to do. Fascinating
I don’t want the Sharks or Flames in the playoffs. I want the Avs to lock up 8th place, and the Kings to sneak into the division lead.
Penny should sing soft kitty to Lundqvist. Wife might not like that though…
Carp, once again, you are correct! Screw everyone else. This team is gonna be balls to the wall on Thursday. Gonna have a great showing against the golden Kaletas. Gonna be a rough and tumble game, but I truly feel the Rangers will spite the league and win the game! Thus, making millions of people happy lol! And giving Mickey 2 belated birthday points
She’s preggers you know.
HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA GySgt.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I, for one, think that this Gaborik Richards Hagelin line is only the second line all season that Ive truly had 100% excitement and confidence in. The other line being the GAS line. This one is far better though. And dont ever forget who on this blog were 100% behind Richards signing up until today. Never falling off the bandwagon and calling for his head.
great game. obviously the hagelin line was out of their mind..
wow hagelin and mcdonut have been huge suprises this year…
i thought MZA looked good tonight…all is good again in Rangerland… THe fedetenko interference was a joke call.
yep why show up on thursday they are playing the greatest team ever created and the ref’s will be in rare form.. brething on cindy is a 5 minute major…......
Not for a while, matty. But it looks great now, and I could never have imagined this team being where it is without those two being together and playing like this.
preggers would autocorrect to programs
Soft kitty always works for me.
lmao no doubt
so, does sheldon cooper scott get a sweater Thursday to deal with that piece of carcillo cooke?
Autocorrection: Soft kitty and VODKA always works for me.
ok, soft kitty drinking the vodka? hehehe
Mostly the vodka.
new post.
Stuart = tru that – we will play four men down all game; 2 refs & 2 linesman. Tonite there were many missed Canes penalties and some head scratching phantom calls – MZA, Feds
Sheldon Cooper scott doesn’t get the sweater.
you know what?
i don’t care if Gabby plays with Richards or Prust or Scott or…...
as long he continues to work hard, be responsible in the d zone and score goals.
same with Richards
and if that happens with the two of them on one line or two lines
it doesn’t matter!!
what matters are the results!!
Congratulations, Olga. Chicago came from behind and won in toughest game. I was rooted for them.
Great night! stick salute and Carp helmet nuzzles and grand fun with CTB!...life is so good…
