Game 81.
Last roadie of the year. Ya boys have won seven of their last nine.
With 51 wins and 109 points, they have shots at the franchise records of 52 and 112, both set by the Cup champs in ‘93-94.
And with 109, they are tied with Vancouver and two up on St. Louis in the race for the Presidents’ Trophy (for what it’s worth) … and the Rangers have the tiebreaker in their pocket. So the Canucks and/or Blues would have to finish a point ahead of them to win the trophy and home-ice in the finals.
The Penguins still need two points, or a Philly loss, to clinch the No. 4 seed. They play the Flyers Saturday.
Martin Biron starts in goal, his 500th NHL game. Henrik Lundqvist (arm) could play if needed, but will sit it out. Mike Rupp (sore neck) will also play.
Games of note tonight, in terms of who might end up with the eighth seed and be the Rangers’ first-round opponent: Baby Buffaloes at Flyers; Panthers at Capitals (with the Southeast Division and No. 3 seed still mathematically up for grabs); and Bruins at Senators (the Capitals can still pass Ottawa on a tiebreaker and drop the Sens to eighth, but Buffalo cannot).
Looking ahead, I’d like to continue having one of you doing the Three Stars selections for each of the playoff games. I already have Game 1 assigned. If anybody else is interested, please email me at rcarpini@lohud.com.

Strader and Engblom for me tonight!
LETS GO RANGERS!
Octopus makes me think of Octomom.
Latona, I had nothing for lunch….point?
our new office location has lunch catered almost every day.
today was grilled chicken, ribs, mashed potatoes, squash casserole, salad, banana pudding AND cheessecake. some people had pretty large plates lol
LGR!!!!!
I think I hear Broduer’s stomach rumbling.
Let’s go Rangers. Put a hurting on these clowns.
lol Orr, he’d have loved yesterdays menu: penne with meat sauce, chicken alfredo with penne, salad, garlic bread and insane brownies.
If incest was on that menu, he’s be in heaven.
he’d’
eeeeeeeeeew
ilb!!!!
Tiki !!!
Tiki!!! Linda!!! Tony!!!
LOL. ORR, that’s worth 100 points. Awesome!
Linda, since you prompted his thought, you get 10.
Mama, none.
Nobody’s found the correct answer to my question yet? Although I haven’t foraged the posts too much.
what does incest have to do with Brodeur
must win game.
Everything…
Tony!!! Linzo!!!
Fatso slept w his sister in law. Not really incest, but incest jokes are acceptable!
They had a kid a few years ago, too.
Torts better wear his sweater vest for every elimination game NYR plays in the playoffs. I don’t care how hot it is outside! Do it for the team!
please no emrick please
ILBZO!!!!!!!!!! TONY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! TIKI!!!!!!!!!!!!! LATONA!!!!!!!!! STAAL!!!!!!!!!!
Lloyd!!!! dude where have you been on game posts lately?
ORR!!!!!!!!!! LAUREL!!!!!!!!!!! KENNY!!!!!!!!! did i miss anyone?
Latona, i’m gonna say Leader of the Pack by the Shangri-Las lol
“They had a kid a few years ago, too.”
Wow, Marty really will eat anything.
Good evening, Carp!
Octopus reminds me of Ursula. Cool.
Is the game on NBCSN?
Yes, Charlie.
thanks Lin for the !!!!
Latona, you have any idea what it’s like to go without lunch….I give myself 10 points!!!
yes Charlie
Mama, you have any idea what its like to be me? Its a gift, and a curse :)
LETS GO RANGERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry i had to do the pregame radio with Dave
Omg, hooooooooooooooome
Evening gang.
NBCS game without the Pens horrid announcers?? There IS a GOD.
Yes Charles
God I hate the Pens.

LETS GO RANGERS!!!!!
Let’s Go Rangers!!!
Give Crosby a fat lip. Wait, how would you know?
MICKEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tony, are you here for the game or leaving us?
You keep holding onto that, Mama.
LIN! Sadly, you’re wrong.
Should I reveal the answer?
RAAAAAAAAAAAAAANGERS !!!
KILL THE PENGUINS!!!!!
lmao @ how would you know!!
Laurel, you need to eat during the day girl! no Lindsay Lohanning for you
Latona, what was the question? The answer is WELLMAN.
you might as well Latona, i know i’m in suspense!
i have my lucky can of A&W Diet Cream Soda.. LETS GO RANGERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hahahah!!! I love that mascot, Carp. Boy, am I glad Rangers do not have such a thing.
Anyway, I do not have a good feeling about this one; Biron’s Five-Hole scares me.
“The Rangers are in contention for the Presidents’ Trophy. And Sidney Crosby is on the ice while they are in contention. ”
FIRE SATHER! {{{{{Linda}}}}}} Sweetie pie!
LINDA!!!
I should go to mass tonight, but I’m too tired to do anything but be a bump on the couch tonight.
Let’s gooo boys!
Playing relaxed is not the Rangers game, they are best under pressure and something at the stake even with Biron in goal. So, tonight I just don’t want to be embarrassed. Pissies are still angry, have something to prove and play for proves and do it on a home ice with full roster. Good luck, guys!LGR.
worlds collide LW
FIRE SATHER {{{{{{{{{{SLATSKO}}}}}}}}}}baby! just don’t tell Olga lol
aw Holy Thursday Mass! I’m sure you’ll be there tomorrow!
It’s on MSG 2 in NY. And if you have FiOS, it’s in HD
Latona….no points for you.
Lin, no Lohaning…..just life/work…...
LGR!!!!! I will not pay attention to any NNs tonight…..
Though the presidents trophy would be nice – the rangers have proven that they can beat any team on the road as well. – the stanley cup champion will be from the east this year
I need somebody to second the motion of me revealing the answer, and then I will!
Sally, you’re technically correct, but wicky already responded with that, so I can’t give you the points.
LW…..hahahahahaha! You are priceless….
FIRE SATHER! {{{{{Linda}}}}}} My little Chickadee!
I demand an answer to your question, Latona!
I’ve never ever said or thought this before….but Latona…point hoarder!!!!!
LETS GO LETS GO LETS GO LETS GO LETS GO START THE GAME ALREADY!!!!!
RAAAAAAAAAAAAANGERSSS!!!
Wow, that smoking commercial is horrible
Greg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wait, the Staals are related?
LET’S GO RANGERS!!!
FIRE SATHER {{{{{{{{{{{OLGA}}}}}}}}}}}babearama!
Greg, you good for the stars tonight?
Game onnnnnnnnnnn
thanks for seconding my motion Mickey lol
oh, boy, “in talking to Sidney Crosby this morning …”
.....
Awww, Union lost :(
DAMN
Already?
who are these stalls you keep talking about?
GREAT SAVE BIRON!!!! no wai….
sonsabeeches!
Biron’s off to a great start!
another good job by M. Staal.
I may sick through this whole night…..
what’s a stawl?
>>oh, boy, “in talking to Sidney Crosby this morning …”
I was about to make the same comment.
Can they say Ferris State one more time? JEEEZ
marty biron, folks
Can’t blame Beer-On for that. It was deflected in.
Hi Lin.
The correct answer is “Love is a Battlefield” by Pat Benatar.
Evening Sir Carptastic
I want to win … it’s OK if we don’t… but…repeat….
Since Rupp can’t find with that bad hand, he has to score now
I think MDZ landed on his bad hip again.
How aboot that pass by Rupper? Looked like Joe Thornton. Actually, that’s a bad comparison, because Jumbo Joe doesn’t have a ring.
You’re blaming Biron? Are you just listening on the radio?
Latona, what do you mean? That wasn’t completely spoken … and Give Peace a Chance had spoken words in it way before that.
And Wellman is the answer.
THANK YOU LATONA!
I don’t care what Larry B writes—Staal still looks lost out there.
Jumbo is a soft shelled shrimp.
Fight
WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
SCORE!!!!
DDDDDDDDDDDUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUBBBBBBBBBBBBBIIIIIIIIII
Even Steven.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
FOUR MILLION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DUBIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
I don’t even remember the question Latona…therefore, half a point off for the lame Benatar reference….xoxoxox :)
Dubiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!
Am I insane??? Or I am not able to watch this game in Manhattan a few blocks from where the Rangers Play. HEEEELLLLLPPPP!!!!
Wooooooooooo
Fedostinko.
marc-andre fleury, folks
WHAM BAM thank you DUBI!!!!!!
Dubi Dubi Dooooo! 1-1.
Marc-Andre Flukey
mmmm, shrimp
Boyler has a little brother? Draft him!
NBCSPORTS/VERSUS/OLN televising the game
True Blue, drop me a line at rcarpini@lohud.com … if you want.
Craps leading Cats 1-0
Shrimp gives me hives. :(
I thought bees gave us hives….
if he say ferris beuller state on more time, i am going to rip out his vocal chords
YOUR COMMERCIAL CARP
I have half a mind to go down to AB and whack someone in marketing for those Pitbull ads.
NYC, do have have dish or TW? then you may be byfuglien’d…..listen at nyr site…..
The spoken line was “If you leave this house now, you can just forget about coming back!” by Pat’s father in the video, Carp.
I have been asked this question my whole life, and have only heard it as the correct answer. Wikipedia also makes this claim in its article on the song.
It was difficult to word correctly without giving the answer away. I don’t know if “Give Peace a Chance” was a legitimate music video or a live recording (I’m not a Beatles fan/aficionado.)
The B’s also give me hives.
I hope I get a toe amputated for actually typing “B’s”, twice now. That oughtta teach me.
Beer-On
Martin Biron, folks…
The commercial with the bear chasing the guy on the giant wooden treadmill. Is the caption saying “fictionalization” really necessary?
hahahahaha ilb!!!
G putting Crosby on his ass!
stick check staal
stinks…even with Dolanvision, Rangers on third channel….I want to boudreau…..
Sidney Crosby, folks.
oh marty :(
christ
Martin Beer-On, folks!!!
LW, in the US it is!!!
we have idiots who put boiling hot coffee between their legs and sue when they burn their dumbasses.. so yes
it not on nbc. it say it is on the guide but they have some hockey history programing. I am gona lose my mind! Anyone else have timewarner in manhattan? We are screwed!
letting Tyler Kennedy score bad angle goals
fuggin manbearpig, are you kidding!
Just gonna be one of those games…
That was shameful.
Well, we had better score 6 or we are not winning this game with Biron giving that garbage up.
depth of offensive scoring … yeah, after about four bad d-zone plays, a giveaway by the goalie, and a bad job getting to the post by the goalie.
Channel 197 on Time-Warner in Queens, if that’s any help to anyone…
I’m not liking this start at all – LGR, dammit!!!
Latona….http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RkZC7sqImaM
Everybody’s talking bout…..great. song.
I don’t wish to listen to the Beatles, Mama, but thanks anyway.
LMAO at manbearpig…...
Or John Lennon, in this instance.
Perhaps they decided their GA this season was embarrassingly low…
La…wha!!!!
Why does Torts look shell-shocked????
STOP SAYING FERRIS STATE
Anybody see the womanbearpig behind Torts, holding the sign?
Please never show Tyler Kennedy looking up at the Jumbotron again. Like looking into Beelzebub’s bowling ball.
Jimbo!!!! Rock on Brutha! Now I can actually watch
Ferris State left the effin gate open! DAMN THEM TO THE NINTH LEVEL OF HELL
lol Olga!!!!!!
If Hank gets hurt…..we are toast.
anyone here do CrossFit?
Try channel 197, NYC Ranger – that’s where the Rangers website says that it is…
Fear not Model, they can always call up Cam Talbot!
god biron is a nightmare. still think should have rested girardi and gabby tonite
did he say undermesstimated?
You got it, NYC!!!! Good viewing!!
not matt cooke, he’s such a stellar human
powerplay boys
Saint Cooke got a penalty?? NO WAY
What happened to Biron? He was doing a good job as backup for most of the season – Did he forget how to play all of a sudden!?
This game’s so boring.
The woman behind Torts should keep the sign in front of her face all game.
Well, that was a ZERO PP….
Pens announcers just called cooke’s 7 penalties in 8 games “uncharacteristic”
Stellar PP
Anyone else’s MSG 2 in NYC on TWC go black (all my other channels are working)?
There is nothing wrong with Biron, other than he isn’t Lundqvist.
Sam must have a Skidley shrine in his room….
im beyond bored by this game, im actually switching channels and watching the knicks game
No problems here in Queens, Evan..
Lev? lmao that’s pretty bored
LEV!!!! Heresy! Other NHL games, OK – but roundball!? ;-o
Is Rupp the best forward for them so far? And Fedotenko?
its like a preseason game the rangers should have treated it like that. just praying for no fights injuries.
limit the minutes of the top d pair
I have club passes. [Fictionalization]
Thanks Jimbo…I’m in manhattan. Guess I’m watching Caps-Panthers on NHL Net
But Olga, he was much better earlier in the season than he is now.
Yeah, I’m really just listening to this game. Meaningless game, for the most part.
Oh, and Go Magics!
Pre-season games are must win though, Eric.
I said, and mean it, I will not deal with NN’s tonight….I will not let that ‘tude ruin my end of season…and this game is far from over!!! Good Adam Gravey!!!!
Nice hit, Staal…
Watching Knicks games is worse than being waterboarded because NBA referees
are worse than the worst criminalsare a disgrace to humanity.Biron is a back-up who overachieved like a madman earlier in the season. He’s a pretty good goalie, but nowhere near as good as he appeared earlier. The guy you’ve seen for most of 2012 is a more accurate indication of Biron’s talent level.
He’s more than adequate for a back-up and that’s really all you can expect.
Washington up 1-0 over Fla.
I just want Buffalo to lose but can’t bear cheering for the flyers…
nothing says you have to cheer for the flyers
cheer for buffalo to lose
FIRE BUFFALO!
haaaaaaa fire buffalo! that’s classic
Latona, oh well, it’s still the answer.
Carp, I like your Penguin logo! LMAO!
wow that whole team is nostril godzillas
And how about that Dubinsky kid, eh?
Hey Carp I just e-mailed you something, take a look when you get a chance, please. Thanks
Nostril godzillas! LMAO!
Pitt announcer just interviewed Kennedy. I want to vomit now.
estermation
Carp, no email
Make sure to vomit in Kennedy’s sty…
i get no email ever lol
anyhow…
my sympathies Pru
Since that Pitbull commercial doesn’t say “fictionalization”, should I assume that he really can make women women morph into versions of themselves wearing less clothing? And that he looks like an asshat?
LMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! STY!!!!! i think my cat just lost a life lol
Rod: ✉
Pidto time: ℗
Lin, email
LW= talent
Intermissions are zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzing
I think the Jets-Isles game has a negative attendance figure.
Latona, do you ever give out dinner points?
I made green & regular-color pasta, with chicken, spinach, asparagus, & cherry tomatoes with – wait – HOMEMADE cilantro pesto. It’s not disgusting.
that sounds pretty good sally!
Laces? Really?
DAMN YOU SOUTHERN WEATHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m going to Sally’s for dinner. BRB
LMAO @ negative attendance…
LW, I noticed the gross disparity in messages when they showed that asshat ArmPitbull and then immediately followed it with Adam Graves talking about the Garden of Dreams kids.
That joke was specifically for Linzo!! Im glad she liked it!!
I was naked, and putting a cream on my jaw, and it got on my pen()s, and now my pen()s is burning. owwweee!!
Pudding.
Plunger.
Tweezers
Goat.
HOLY CARCILLO, the sky looks like the end of the world out there!!!
Mickey, come on over!
Take cover, Lin.
205 points! Holy shishkebab!
1-0 devils. if they win out and phil loses both they pass phil for 5th. what a bunch of morons they are.
come on caps we need a win in REGULATION. I WANT FLORIDA
Cilantro pesto? What is that, some kinda Mexican-Italian fusion dish?
Wow, good save
Thanks for sharing, Tiki :)
Oh, Malkin is a tough guy now, eh
MALKIN = SCUMBAG. I HOPE HE TEARS HIS ACL AGAIN
OK, so Malkin just left the gate open for anybody to hit Crosby, right?
Darren Dreger just voted twice for Fleury for the Vezina. Even though he’s not eligible to vote.
I vote for Biron after this save….
Tiki, texted you a pic
Carp, once i download the pics i will email them to you!
Cilantro Pesto is what Don Cherry would call Sami Lepisto.
eric, we dont use that language here.
Linzo, I got it. That is awful. I hope ur safe, and I hope u move the heck out of there soon.
Be safe Lin!
Got a couch for me to sleep on Sally?
Youre very welcome, Sally! Im a sharer!
Cilantro Pesto is what Don Cherry wears around St. Patrick’s Day, LW
WTB was that?
Bah
is it too late to get chad johnson here for 3rd per
Hasn’t Park scored all of his career goals against the Rangers? Rupp too?
If Hank goes down, how long do we last in the playoffs??
Who is Biron playing for?
Man…Biron is awful…
gonna download the pics to fb during intermission… we may be headed for 3 inches of rain in an hour if forecasts are correct.. crazy
Richard Park’s 800th career goal against the Rangers.
Torts is all “SIGH. BYFUGLEIN CARCILLO’
>>>If Hank goes down, how long do we last in the playoffs??
4 games, once Hank goes out…
Penguin players’ heads sure do snap back a lot, don’t they?
nuevirth down and hurt for caps. holtby in and perhaps long term
Four games, Voice. Maybe fewer.
knee injury for neuvirth
Orr:
All jokes aside, if that happens, the Rangers might as well not even show up.
Mickey, you can have your own room even!
Cilantro pesto is okay. Needed to do something with all that leftover cilantro. Would be good on tacos with lime & some heat.
Dave M. on the radio feed says “if this game meant anything, the goaltender just needs to be better, that’s all”...enough said..
If you are not going to go full boat with your play, than bring up three or four Hartford kids and give them some tiime. At least they will hustle.
Boon is awfull!
And the Academy Award goes to…
you can tell that the rangers goalie coach Benoit Allaire has had his hands full with marty
Biron is awfull
Stepan needs to get his stick under control. Dude takes that penalty way too much.
SWeet, Sally
Park is older than dirt, and he still kills us…
How did Noy-Vair get injured?
oh wow eric, that’s a tough break for the caps my friend don must be besides himself
temps went down about 15 degrees and it’s hailing!
Rameses, damn you
Good lord, get off your knees for Skidney
LOL! Worst case scenario for NYR. Now they’re forced to go against a rookie goalie. Third time in a row!
Ugh, Lin.
They should let Milbury do color on Rangers games when they play Pitt.
Or, as Muck used to say, Marco Strum.
Craps 2-0 vs. Panties..
Horrendous news on Neuvirth…Rangers are the best at making rookie goalies look like Patrick Roy
Ovechkin…
the way the Capitals have sputtered, I don’t think there’s as formidable an opponent as I did a month ago. there’s always the chance Ovechkin could go off but I’d take my chances with them at this point.
Still no score in Baby Buffaloes – Flyers game…
Sally, still having burning issues. Very uncomfortable :(
sens trail a boston team that left half there team home 1-0. maybe sens want the rangers
I’d rather play Florida.
Interesting ethical question…if you’re the Rangers and would rather play Florida in the first round, do you lay down on Saturday (assuming Washington wins tonight)? I know Torts has already talked about playing with “integrity” these last two games but interesting nonetheless…
3-0 caps laich scores
Torts is having one of his moods. He’s pissed about something whether the team is bad or it’s Biron.
Great talk with Torts Hun?
evan
yes u lay down period screw torts
they won’t lay down.
Go Caps! Beat Buffalo.
Just got first round Caps tix, I soooooo want the Caps ’!!!!’!!!!!!!!!!
Not a chance, Eric
eric, you can’t expect pro athletes to not compete. its not in their DNA
BB hurt
That’s not good….
of course you’d rather play Florida, but if you’re the best in the team conference you should be able to beat this Washington team. you can’t be intimidated by Holtby no matter how many times you’ve been shut down by unproven goalies – I could wager they’d just as easily get shut down by Theodore as by Holtby if you want to go by past results. If Washington had been playing at some high level down the stretch and the Rangers were dropping off, I’d agree with you. But neither has happened so you can’t duck anybody.
ps, if you lose this game, and lay down Saturday, you’re looking at starting the playoffs eight days from now hoping to turn it back on … that’s as dangerous as any opponent.
Hip pointer…
OWWW
That’s a butt-end to the hip, Sam and Joe. Dirty play.
Hanks hair is perfect…...werewolves of London
Biron looks so uninterested at times…just too calm if that makes sense
defenders stick got caught on the net and speared Boyle
Not dirty Carp… You sound like a fan, sorry
“Hunka-hunka burnin’ love”, Tiki!?
You said “butt”... huh huh…
don’t know if any Rangers fans would go to Washington for Games 3-4, but the hotels are off-the-charts overpriced that week … worse than Rangers playoff tickets. Rooms range from $429 a night to over $1,100 a night.
oh, yeah, uhuuhh uuhhuh.
what happened? i missed a bit
listen guys i know they wont lay down but i want them too. im not naive i know how teams and pro athletes think. just like phil should lay down there next two and finish 6th
not a fan, Hedberg. i was wrong. I didn’t see the blade get caught in the net. I just saw the butt-end to the mid-section.
Gabby time
boog, body language? really?
Pansification
Just busting carp I didn’t see it at first either
Eric said “lay down and screw Torts”. Uhuhuhuhuhh.

Flubbalo scores.
Carp stay with me 999 a night wife makes a mean lasagna
Buff 1-0 vs Flys..
Thanks Mickey! So fluffy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Those are ridic hotel prices. If I could go, I would and stay with friends
Welcome Sally. I LOVE pandas, they are so cute!
I’m there, Hedberg. 999 cents a night. Gannett will go for that.
ilb, no.
Mickey, Katie Strang at ESPNNewYork told me, whenever you’re feeling down, google cute baby sloth videos. Oh, my, god.
Bad boring period
Devs don’t have a chance at home ice! Fugg’s Joe talking aboot?
Carp, baby sloths? That is why you are the AWESOMEST.
Well, no offensive pressure put on in that period on our part….
Carp congressional during the day, Chinatown then caps vs rangers then divorce
End of 2nd in Philly…
No need to stay at a hotel! Just set up a tent in front of the White House. You’re good to go!
Carp – So you’re saying that you would take the train back and forth for each game and not stay in Washingon? ;)
Gary Thorne and Barry Melrose doing the BC-MInny game on ESP2.
devs can make 5th and play pitt.
wolski scores 3-1 caps
Veronica Mars (Kristen Bell) loves sloths.

Big goal by the Cats. 3-1
“their entire franchise career”
Wow, step away for a bit ans miss….huh, good gibberish :)
Carp, LMFAO at 8:35…...
Spider, I might have to drive down and sleep in the car … also hearing rumors of a Monday-Thursday Games 3-4 if Washington.
Sally, email finally lol
Boston College 1 Minn 0
Monday Thursday? eesh
Carp, I have friends in the DC area. Not sure they’d want you to stay with them though, lol.
Buff looks like they are peaking going to watch their third, this one is boring
Black Hawks 1 Minn 0
Helloooooo Kreider….
Preds up next for me
Carp, way to go camp!!! You get the $5 bucks back for the back seat blankie?
So Canada and the USA both say Stefan Matteau (son of Rangers legend Stephane) should play for USA in U18 championship, but IIHF says no. Alrighty, then.
https://twitter.com/kausatoday/
Guys on the radio are talking about Panthers being able to miss the playoffs entirely if everything breaks against them…
Nj1- det 1
Yup. Baby Buffaloes game on. Lets go Buffalo!

rangers ottawa round 1
This stupid Coors Light commercial makes me so angry, I just wanna
strangle the life out of that kidbeach slap that kid.Silent Bonehead here watching this game holding my breath for what any Ranger fan fears,an injury.Tony From AZ-I’ll leave a msge on your website as I heard you’re heading to MSG for game one.My wife and I “scored” a pair of tkts from Ticketmaster for the paltry sum 0f $600 so maybe we can hook up and say hi to Carp during warmups.He refused our offer of a prime rib sandwich,though he deserves it.LGR!! PS-Carp,Mark is still the Sports Editor down here and I take care of all the HVAC/Plumbing
That hit on Skid was beautiful. Can we see it again?
if its caps it cant be mon april 16th wed april 18th in wash because the wash wizards gave a game on wed april 18th. so either mon tues back to back or carp your prob right thursday april 19th game 4
two tony’s in az? do they both wear no pants?
I haven’t worn pants for 8 years!!!!
NO PANTS!!
lol
Bury Cindy there by the net head down
Is it me or does this game have less feeling/meaning than normal from a fans perspective?
Like I could care if they win or lose, when normally I always want them to win.
It’s hot down here and after paying $600 for two tickets to game one,I had to sell them all anyway!
Two Tonys with no pants in AZ!? Oy!
other Tony….Tony will be in NYC, with moi….hmmm. Do I know this other silent Tony? Prust curious….
this is why u want to play caps over bufflao they blow leads
3-2 caps now
power play
Good evening everyone and Carpy. Carpy, thanks for that chat yesterday. Was great!
Caps probably starting to sweat now…...lead is dwindling…
Oh balls. Flyers score.
Buffalo blacks out Ranger games.
No Buffalo- no blackout. Simple.
Philly ties up Buffalo.
I expected this game to be, um, different…..huh. Ack…too many pantless Tonys!!!
I’m with you, Mickey. I’m not really paying attention to this game. Looks to me like NYR’s coasting a bit.
I haven’t had the pleasure of meeting you Blogmama,but never say never! We’ll be there game one so anything is possible :-)
Boyle finally hits someone the camera man. Lol
Mickey, we clinched first in the division – the compete level just doesn’t seem there tonight.
TWO Tonies from AZ? WTB?
Ho hum.
lmao no pants for 8 years!! you were saving for these playoff tix that long?? GOOD MAN!
Sally likes those thangs!
At least PP looks good
Wow, a Staal that puts the puck on the net!!!
lmao Mickey, i actually had some dinner because, well hell, we already have a playoff spot and i knew this game would go like this. Now, next week, not eating until after games lol
I was there in 94 so am praying to see some history again!
just waiting to put the Preds game on lol
That’s a good way to describe, Orr and Jimbo. I think the compete level is there, just dialed down a notch. I think if things were nasty, it would be different.
1 shot 3 PP
Didn’t Stahl just put the puck on net twice in a row, Matty???
Linda, I inhaled half a pizza earlier in the game. LOL
Fugg just happened?
Torts says let’s go home
Damn Malkinstein
Stamkos scoring his 59th goal
McD gliding on this one
other Tony….will you really be at game one!? So will first Tony….and I’ll be in city with him! If I’m not being belatedly April hartnelled, e-mail me at lbabs@ol.com…..If I am being hartnelled…..I’ll meet you with Sunday papers….
sounds great Mickey, i had nothing that tasty!! some quinoa with lima beans, peas and diced tomatoes.. i’m looking forward to a Red Robin burger this weekend!
Yes, Orr, he did. He also is playing much better the last 3 games. Nice to see.
Stamkos with his 59th.
Go Flames!
Mmmm, Red Robin
Other Tony –

False sense of security for the Pen’s. Beat us twice (if they hold on tonight) with 2nd string goalie. Puff out your chests, boys. Wait till round 3!
Now we will have to listen to these jackwagons on NBCSP talk about Malkin and his chase for his 50th goal for the rest of the game.
buff pp coming with 8 mins left
anyone know the score of the Montreal v. Carolina game?
Stamkos 59 goals he must be good

oh no Sam is going to tell Crosby Joe said he’s aging…. while Sam is massaging Crosby’s legs no doubt. sickening listening to this carcillo.
Just read Tort’s body language. It said: “Washington is in deep carcillo on Saturday!”
Itd be nice if Stammer got 60 tonight, because Im recording the game in anticipation of it and dont feel like recording their final game.
sad but true T2

In the meantime, Pitt hurts 2 Flyers, 1 Bruin, and 1 Ranger before the playoffs. What BS.
They deserve to get all the ref’s calls? Poor Sydney????

can we can Orpik a Byfuglien piece of Carcillo right now? what a tool with that knee
Sick game , Hate the pens .
Stepan might well be gonzo. And…....zero response from us. of course, Bylsma would not be stupid enough to but Slid or Malkin on the ice after that cheap shot from the multiple repeat offender Orpik. Too bad Shanahan has no onions.
ranger fan my entire life. if this team doesn’t wake up and start putting some serious wood to their opponents they’ll be out in the 1st round. mark my words. their neutral zone play is horrible. wake up boys before its too late.
2-zip BC
Not good. Stepan looked like he was limping coming off the ice. This is what bothers me about the NHL discipline system. Here is a guy who clearly stuck out his knee in an attempt to injur Stepan and he will get one game tops while Stepan could have a significant injury that may keep him out of the playoffs. Why not suspend Orpik until Stepan can come back? And if they don’t, than should the Rangers face them, every Penguin should be targeted including the Golden boy.
Lord help me-JR and Milbury-someone stick pencils in my ears! Adios boys and Blogmama-manana!
Email sent Carp.
If we had Hank we would have shut ‘em out….Can’t wait till playoffs . I really can’t see the pens getting past filthy philly.
Derek has worked really hard to get to the playoffs. It would be such a shame for him not to be able to play.
12yrs since Fla in wow where does the time go?
2500 fine for waterpik
Well, that game sucked – I know it wasn’t important to us, but I hate losing, and we’ve lost our last 4 contests to the Penguins – I don’t feel good about that.
You might be a Ranger fan your entire life, Dan, but it sounds like this was the first time you’ve seen them play this year.
for the first time in my life i will root against the rangers on sat
Zetterburger is back!!!!!! Yay! I take a little credit for that :)
Sally!!!!!!!!!!
you all…..really…..read through….http://zetterburger.wordpress.com/2012/04/05/its-playoff-time-and/
Kreider-burger again!!!!
We lost. Ok….Would have preferred win. I move on….Saturday, then playoffs…..No NN’ing for me….I have two Tonys from AZ next week…..pray for me!!!
3-nothing BC now
Who do the Rangers play in game 83? Anybody know??
So…. I don’t know about you guys, but…. I’d be happy with a loss this Saturday and a panthers win. While we’re a better team than the caps, I still don’t like how we match up against them. Semin always steps it up against us.
Sorry, Mama. All my praying is for Step.
Where can Ottawa finish?
AGrossRecord Torts blasts Pens as whining organization particularly their two stars.
Sens can finish as low as 8th, if I’m not mistaken.
Torts calling out their entire organization, I love it.
The war of words coming from Torts. Here comes another fine.
lw3h. watched plenty of games. you think they’ll go deep? not with this power play.
It’s about damn time.
Oh wow, Torts.
I’m glad the Devs beat the Wings. I want the Preds to get home ice.
Sorry, Bryan Leetch. I think the world of you, but frontier justice is what’s needed. Orphik should be pulverized on top of his 10 game suspension
Pitt has been a bunch of whiners ever since Mary-O joined them…
Go Torts!
We should start a fund to pay Tort’s fines from this one.
maybe the league will finally start paying attention now that 2 teams have spoken out about the pens
AGrossRecord The fact that Tortorella and even Biron were so mad is probably not a good sign about Stepan’s health. But no update expected.
Uh oh!
Torts putting it down.
Boo Baby Buffaloes. Yay Zetterburger.
The Penguins play the Rangers really tight. Its all good , no need to worry. We lost to them without Hank and our teams plays flat without Hank . Hank is the true driving force behind this team.His emotion and passion rubs off on our teams and when hes in net we are a different club. Hank deserves the Hart trophy cuz without Hank this team goes all carsillyo game in and game out.
Why would he get fined? He wasn’t criticizing the league or the refs.
I just saw the dirty play by orpik. Pittsburgh has become the dirtiest team in hockey. Crosby and malkin are the worst and they are gutless whinning jackwagons. I hope I’m right but after seeing the replay it appeared Orpiks knee hit stephan in the thigh so hopefully it’s a deep thigh bruise and not a blown knee. if it’s a blown Knee than stephan will be gone for the playoffs unless they go deep into the playoffs.
damnit what is he saying????
orr
yes sens can finish 8th
again with the shuttle, after all this post-game show nonsense, and Tortorella went off … they better not cut it short, but they probably will, because Boomer and Cockroach coming up in two minutes.
Torts: “It’s one of the most arrogant organizations in the league.”
Nobody comes close.
... and by the way, these are not paid ads. these are three straight house promos. MSG could skip one of these for the 120th time tonight and get to Torts. But they don’t.

—————————————————I thought criticizing the Skid is just the same as criticizing the league.
stevezipay More Torts: “A cheap, dirty hit. I wonder what would happen if we did it to their two whining stars over there.”
♥ this guy!
Jimbo, the Pen’s are untouchable. Any type of intimation that they did wrong and ….bingo. Torts has a ‘record’ for speaking out. Kind of like Orphik has a record for kneeing and cheap shots.
Heck, in their last 3 games, they long-term injured 2 Flyers, 1 Bruin and now…ugh…one Ranger.
See a pattern??????????
Ottawa down 3-1…minute thirty left…
you gotta be kidding me. out of town highlights?
Torts unplugged going after whiny stars…. Gotta luv him
>>>stevezipay More Torts: “A cheap, dirty hit. I wonder what would happen if we did it to their two whining stars over there.”
I hope we get that opportunity – if Philly doesn’t kill them first!
So, is it Montreal, Toronto and Pens in the arrogance trifecta?
someone should target hot dog lips head again so he never plays again and then gino too. i FREAKING HATE THIS TEAM MORE THEN FLYERS ISLES DEVS COMBINED. ITS BEEN LIKE THAT SINCE HOT DOG LIPS CAME INTO THIS LEAGUE.
someone shoule end the career of there annoncers steigerwald and errey as well
Ah…he’s the best
Well, I know the Pens are golden, but if Torts gets fined for criticizing another organization and their whining stars, Sather should refuse to have the fine paid and bring it up at a Governor’s meeting – I’ll bet the other team owners would support him!
ilb, someone responded to u on Sally’s page.
Kind of expected result, but still disappointing by quality (or should I say lack of…) of showed game by Rangers. Don’t blame Biron (made few amazing saves), just our defense was exposed big time, including faves – #27 and #18. That’s bothersome in particular, coming PO. BTW, Stralman played good.
Big repetition (rehearsal) Saturday (not saying taboo combo of must win) – just will show what it going to be; early exit to country club or last exit on LIE.
Toronto? Based on what? Ancient history!?
saturday will be an interesting day.
No way the league can fine him for that … unless they want to hit him for a few bucks for the F-bomb.
mama love = Torts
LOVE Torts. That was awesome.
Cannot WAIT to see this pc from Torts. Sounds like a classic.
On those in-house promos, Carp… tells me that they are NOT selling their game inventory, which is ridiculous if you ask me. I would LOVE to know what Rainbow Media (Cablevision’s media sales dept) is selling the games for.
Let’s not go nuts, however – we don’t know at this point if Steps is injured long-term.
I know this is not popular and I hate that organization Mario, Cindy and that puke Malkin, but was it that dirty, it was bang bang I need to see it again. Torts right going off though, send a message to the league about this team and more importantly he knows how to rally this team going forward.
eric….his true ericness come through!!!!!!!!!!!
Dan
Not saying they will. But I’m not drawing conclusions based on tonight’s meaningless game, which bore little resemblance to the way they’ve played all year.
what an freaking joke. here i thought i was going to be stress free for a week and now this piece of crap orpik does this. guaranteed sprained mcl out 4-6 weeks
4ever. They have had a great season and they will rebound. They are not deep and an injury to an important player will hurt a lot. Pitt knows that and they played the game to make us less deep. It worked. I couldn’t give a damn about a President’s Trophy.
Did not watch the whole game, knew they were going to lose. Nothing on the line, they cannot win without playing all out.
Torts postgame was best of the year. Milbury a total jerk said the truth and Torts just reiterated it the cindy’s are scum. Orpik is a joke, 5 games for that sh-t. unbelievable that team…...
Did Tortorella break the twitter widget?
I think Sather and Dolan should be petitioning Toronto all night and all day tomorrow for a suspension for Orpik…
Eric to hate this team more than the Flyers and Devils combined? Wow just wow
Here’s a nice comment from a Penguins fan on NHL.com
JLisjack4 minutes ago
Orpik shouldn’t and won’t get suspended. It wasn’t intentional and he didn’t just put his knee out. He leaned his whole body. He had Stepan lined up for a big shot and he got out of the way, and they just collided legs. Definitely accidental. Orpik isn’t a dirty guy
orpik is a scum but i think malkin is dirtier… really watch him sometime.
crosby is a bigger whiner but not as dirty as malkin.
man I dislike feds, and mitchell… they stink. rupp is worse…........
rangers lose on saturday they will play florida in the first round, I LIKE THAT…....
I’m praying it’s a deep thigh bruise and not a blown knee. it looked to me Orpiks knee struck stepan in the thigh. Normally when a player blows a knee out is when knee on knee..
LOL. OMG. NHL NETWORK STOPPED SHOWING THE HIGHLIGHTS AFTER MALKIN SCORED TO MAKE IT 4-1. THIS IS RIDICULOUS.
Eric, we don’t know that yet, do we? They didn’t even have a chance to give him an X-ray, much less an MRI…
of course the orpik knee hit was intentional…. stepan has the right to try to avoid a collision.
penguins are scum, rangers will beat them in the 2nd round and it will be nasty, real nasty…......
i swear its the truth i have grown to hate the pens more then isles devs and flyers.
when they won the cup in detroit my wife thought i was going to murder someone
I will repeat. EVERY SINGLE STAR ON THAT TEAM SHOULD BE TARGETED including the Goalie in the next game we play them. Unless of course Scumpik gets a at least ten games!
throw mario and there stupid announcers in there as well and the whole organizaton can rot in hell
Eric had the fish sticks in his mathematic hate equation as well. Again Wow
Can’t we all just….get along??
Actually, Latona, if you look at the replay, Stepan leaned into Orpik. Orpik did nothing. I think Stepan should get suspended. Same for Torts. How dare he say anything about Marioland that is negative.
Perhaps the Rangers should be removed from the playoffs, too.
I’m going to have to agree with eric. I hate the Ice Chickens.
Ha, Latona – a Penguins fan? What to expect from a pig other than a grunt?
Put it this way , we lost because we didn’t dress the Hart trophy winner . Enuff said.
Win or lose, I just love listening to Tortorella. The man is never afraid to speak his mind. It’s also refreshing to hear more coaches start telling it like it is regarding Pittsburgh and their whinging prima donnas.
You’re right, Mattyboy. In fact, we should be relegated to the AHL, and they should call up Wilkes-Barre/Scranton to replace us.
So, Czech, you don’t think the ref’s would have the whistles in their mouths and blow them if the Rangers even pick up some speed? Pitt gets all the calls. Try to get back at them? Don’t worry. They are protected.
Wow, I mean wow…..Just re-watched Torts….can’t remember when he’s been this mad…..wow!!!
Stuart a…. You got everything right about the Pens
You’re right Latona. I was thinking juniors, myself. Moosejaw.
Whoa folks, back it down a bit
the hit wasnt THAT bad. but he will be suspended for their last game most likely. no way they’ll give him a playoff game off though. still glad that torts spoke out.
Mama, how can you not love Step? Torts definitely favors him and likes his game and mentality. He also stands squarely behind his team. Thats what a good coach does and it’s one reason the guys like him. They work hard for him.
new post.
btw letang is a cheapshot artist also… a guy who has had at least 2 concussions is a cheap shot artist also.
on the pens the obscenly dirty players are; letang, orpik, cooke, malkin, cindy, engelland, and maybe a few more.
that team is filthy…............rangers will beat them in the playoffs and they will hit them all series long, pound them over and over and over…......
Mattyboy
There are ways believe me. No way can they be protected if justice has to be delivered. If you watch Richards after the hit, he at least tried to get to Orpik and no one else did. That to me is troubling. I know BR is small relative to Scimpik, but if it were me in his place, I would have cross checked him right in the face!
So now the announcers on ESPN are citing a BC player as ‘Gretzky-esque’. And the announcer wasnt even Chico.
ummm…new post all…..matty, see my response in new post
>>orpik is a scum but i think malkin is dirtier… really watch him sometime.
>>crosby is a bigger whiner but not as dirty as malkin.
Malkin is the sort of guy who pushes back when they try to intimidate him. Isn’t that how Messier played? That’s what you want in a hockey player. Since Malkin’s English isn’t too good, he doesn’t do much yapping to referees or other players. He takes it and dishes it out equally. Crosby, on the other hand, is a dirty little bastard who cries all night when they give him a taste of his own medicine. That’s why fans and other players don’t respect him.
Eric, I don’t know how long you been a fan but for some reason your hate is getting to me. Flyers had Clarke,Schultz,bridgeman,holmgren,linesman,prop,hoyda,Kelly,dupont,behn wilson,cockran,fedorick. Isles had twoSutter scums,Potvin,Billy Smith,Arbor,lane,voukota,baumgardner.Devils had and have the most idiotic fans, Chico, Stevens,jannsens,Newark,a bull sitting on a couch with it’s legs crossed for a emblem,Fatso. So that’s a lot of hate for just the ice chickens. Wow again. Carp who am I leaving out?
um, new post a while ago, Hedberg.
