Here we go.
The Rangers go with the same lineup they’ve been using, which means Chris Kreider is prucha’d for the first time in his career, along with John Scott and Jeff Woywitka.
Henrik Lundqvist in goal (duh) against Craig Anderson. Ottawa’s Chris Neil is expected to return from an undisclosed injury.
The good news: Josh Thomson, 26, is here with me. We’re both going to be tweeting our little piggies off ————>

RIR, proving my point for me on the last thread, even while he’s weakly attempting to disagree with me.
Wick, Rupp is pretty close to Callahan in the room. Why do you ask?
Ogogogogogogogoggogogogogoggoog

rangersreport “F@#$ Canada” chants coming from the concourse at the Garden. Stay classy.
How pathetic.
yes BANJ, cheesecake
no more gamecenter.. damnit i want to hear sam and joe, not whoever i get stuck with on NHL Network!
Let’s GO RANGERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Carp
I saw a clip of the lockerroom on the pregame and and the locker to cally’s left had a sweater with a 7 on it (could have been dubi or mcdonut obviously) but if it was rupp that would make a lot of sense too IMHO!
Let’s hit’em hard and hit’em often!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Whoa…...newspaper alert you asshats!!!! :)
LGR!!!!!!!! Saving iPad juice so will pop in here and there…...but I’m watching you!!!!!
I am feeling the momentum …..hahahahahaha!
I haven’t been this pumped for a hockey game in a long time. Let’s go boys!! The Right Way!!! Play smart, play our game, and we will win. End of story.
It all begins now….
LETS GO RANGERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Because it’s the Cup.
This crowd better be loud. I’m sick of this crap!
Josh is tweeting nonsense. No talking about the Caps series!
I haven’t been this pumped since nasty and I played Xbox online together
Hopefully all the phones have been confiscated so they can actually watch the game instead of text.
Carp:
Your relentless repetition has convinced me: NHL teams NEVER develop momentum in a playoff series. And any (or every) player and coach that claims they do is lying or deluded.
first row better have a sam and joe link
How’s the crowd, Carp?
Dubi better step up his game!
Please, no more 2 goals against in a first 5 minutes on home ice. I’m begging you, not gonna survive it … Am I asking too much?
Carp, if it’s not too much trouble can you get us each one of those t-shirts please?
Only coaches with a strategy can produce momentum.
Are we talking “momentum” again? It’s been a while…..I guess it’s playoffs
Evening gang!!!! I’m ready for some playoff hockey!
RANGERS RANGERS RANGERS!!!
LET’S GO RANGERS!!!!!!!

I think Richards is going to chuck so much wood there’s going to be saw dust all over the ice!
Wooooooooo Hooooooo!
DROP THE PUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LW:
The players have an awful lot to do with it, but I fear you might be right.
Look! There’s plenty of them!
Nasty
Lol ;)
I assume NHL Network is on the CBC feed?
My first Grey Goose just happily landed in a right place in a stomach.
Melrose picked the Rangers cause he’s loves Torts press conferences.
LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!
Melrose picked us in 5
Its how you start, and how you finish!!!!
FINISH!!
Finish Checks, Finish plays, Finish periods, Finish Games!!!!

I guess Carp neglected to mention that Eminger is prucha’d.
LET’S DO IT!!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
HI LINDA…
Gotta Get The MO!

LETS GO RANGERS!!!!!!!!!
I guess I should have watched CBC feed on FirstRow for the anthems. BUSH LEAGUE
Byfuglien it, Dan O’Halloran is reffing this series.

Good and loud.
I see Miami Limp is in the house tonight!

Crowd sound Carp? Can’t tell where I am…..which is loud :)
Linda – MSG feed on NHLN apparently.
Oops…never mind…..yay,

PP.. good thing?
YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
PENALTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
uh…....power play lol
Yup. Lots of crowd sound, Mama. I saw all your drinking buddies pre-game.
Take control with this PP!
C’mon! Gotta hit the net!
Just keep gettting shotss!!!!
Eventually theyll go in!!!!!
nice looking PP by the second unit
Hey Carpy, that power play had some movement lol
Hi Josh!!!!!
Lol at tweet…real classy :)

lmfao three sens splayed on the ice
Too fancy. Just shoot!
Hit that Swedish pussycat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Drill him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Make him understand pain!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Keep it up, boys….The energy is there.
FIRE SATHER! {{{{{LINDA}}}}} Honey Pie!
Wtf is kuba doing to make all the rangers helmets pop off?
Hagelin en fuego
FIRE SATHER {{{{{{OLGA}}}}}} BABY!!!
That was about as Helter Skelter a PP as you could see. But it almost worked.
holy crap alfredsson is 39???
LGR!!Lin! did youse see Josh, 26?
McD!
McD baby
Sens penetrating the box too easily.
Boyle clobbers Kuba after whistle.
no sir i did not!
JOSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSH!!!!!! XOXOX
Smart play by McD without taking a penalty…
We’re all 26 tonight!
whistled down for an offsides. ARE THEY SURE??
Carp, i have a special pic to send you.. it may not be until tomorrow though lol
Quiet now.
mitchell played that puck like it was a hand grenade
Dammit, Prust!
Aww, Prusty :(
Ugh.
Stupid penalty.
Stupid
Really? Get rid of the stupid player twitter garbage….DG has enough to worry about!
Can’t do that.
Here we go. Important PK
Kreider sucks! What has he done in this game so far!?!?
I don’t get why trips always occur behind the net. You should know if the player’s gone or not!
I’ll look for it tomorrow, then, Lin.
Brain dead penalty
Lloyd!!!!
I think rupp needs to weber someone!!!
Boyle squishes Turris.
LOL….remember the show “Alf”? Alfredsson kind of looks like Alf.
Great PK
Good kill. bad penalty.
Boyle with his kind of not really beard, more of a goatee thingy is, um…..really , um, nice!
sweet pk
Why do players always take slap shots when they’re in a similar situation to Prust? I feel like it gives the defender more time to position his stick.
Great PK….not a Subban
Hi Linda
Drives me crazy when players take penalties on the forecheck
Time to get some pucks to the net and get some traffic.
Boyle = Beast/Man
ALRIGHT GUYS !!! WE blocked shot all year long and we HIT , we HIT , we HIT EVERY MUTHA WE SAW!!!! Lets hit these guys and pound ‘em our way !!!
LETS GO RANGERS!!!
WE got CALLY for the playoffs!!!! SUPER SWEET!!!
LETS GO LETS GO LETS GO!!!!
Boyle=selke
A debacle of inexcusable proportions so far. No strategy and no momentum heading into Game 2.
especially tripping penalties … you might live with it if it’s an aggression penalty.
Can’t, won’t, could, should…..still stupid…even during season
Condra just died!
BIG REBOUNDS being given up by Anderson.
Carp, is it great to be back in Kanata? Do you love Canada?
WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
The Captain.
CALLY!
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

AMERICAN HERO.
CAPTAINHAN.
the Captain!
Kuba having a pathetic game
HOT DAMN CALLAHAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HIGH FIVES HEADS!
Cally !!!!
Could it have been anyone else but Cally?
WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Captain!!!!!!! Omg, the place I am at just went nuts.love it…goal song and all….,,,
WHOA
Jeez!! Almost scored on on Hank!
Hank’s gotta stop with these rebound passes.
Kid’s pretty good.
ONE on Hank, that is..whew!!!
Wow….did Cally thread the needle or what? Nice goal…
Straalman has had a great game so far imo.
Hank off to a very solid start imo2
Strahlman is definitely thinking offense. That’s for sure.
Lloyd, you’re right about Kuba. And it looks like the Rangers targeted his side from the beginning.
Oh, good, Knicks commercials.
Hagelin is flying tonight. Someone needs to get him the puck
Seee what I mean…WE GOT CALLY this time for the playoffs…LOOK OUT!!!!
RANGERS , lets party like rock stars!!!!
CALLY GO GO GO GO GO , heart N soul baby!!!
Incensed Torts, lol
Cally faked kuba out of his jock right before he scored
Oh man, Bickel has to be smart….soft call though
WTB, Bickel. You have to know better than that.
That’s how you play yourself out of the lineup, Bickel!
Right call. Cross check.
Another brain dead penalty
BULLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!
Everyone does that all the time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BULLSH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Dang Prusty
I like the fact hank is freezing a lot of pucks
Playoffs time!
Thats a penalty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Theyre hitting our guy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Man, Boyle really can’t fight at all
When did Prust get so fast?
Gotta love that trade, and the message therein.
Boyle taking on Karlsson. Smart idea
LMAO at those little boyle punches!!!!
Good trade by Boyle, IMO.
LOL! Boyler trying to give Karlsson a concussion with those baby jabs?
That wasn’t a fight, Lloyd. Geez. You really do hate those guys.
Boyle takes Karlsson out for 2 min? Not bad
No need for Bickel to crosscheck there. Not too bright.
Karlsson basically got two for receiving!
well take karlson on the box on the PP
lol @ boyle playing the drums on karlsson’s head
That’s it! Tomorrow I’m kicking my co-worker Eric Carlson’s ass!
LGR!!! Can’t type and watch the game, too nervous! LGR!!!
shut up sam lol
Those Boyle punches were funny.
LOL, BANJ
This worthless loser Gilroy just hit the net. Somebody better pummel his aasen.
I’m just going to say Lundqvist looks a bit shaky to me
They look a bit uncomfortable in their own zone. Kills are still kills, however.
Cally is killing everyone!!
CALLY= ♥
HOLY SHEEEEEEEEEEP CALLY@!
CALLY!
Since when does McDonagh think he’s Bobby Orr with all these toe drags though?
Argh..iPad.in Prust I trust…also said that on last post…...hank!!!!!!!
CALLLLLAHAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Send the message to these hartnells!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WRECKING BALLAHAN!
Krisy! Lent is over. .... milk chocolate …. yum yum.
Krisy!!!!
great hit sequence by cally. sucks that im typing this from my iPhone…
Pretty good period
Really good first period of the playoffs.
Sam STFU about baseball!!!!
Loved joe telling him just not thinking about baseball right now
Ottawa getting away with penalties all over the ice
GRRRRRRRRREAT START!
Hagelin needs to tighten that damned chinstrap!
LGR!!!!!!!!!
Pretty good period, despite the penalties.
Thats a penalty!!!!!!!!!!! They took down Richards from behind after he lost the puck. Come on!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We’re the best team in the god damn league!! Give us some fairness!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Spider, do you have an MSG intermission link on first row?
good job not giving up a end of period goal. gotta start the 2nd just like we started the 1st.
Yeah Lin, Sauer can teach him.
Too much zone time for Ottawa in the second half of the period.
I like the non-calls, as long as they go both ways. It’s the playoffs! Call the things that need to be called.
no kidding Banj!
Ok Mama, get us some t-shirts!
Rangers are ready for the playoffs.
Well, they look like they are ready…Torts was right after all. I think that was his STRATEGY
Keys woman!
Wick, that was probably Joes best line all season!
Thats our boys!!! We are playing a perty good Ottawa team , Hank is saving shot after shot and we are playing like we usually do…looks like were playing for something don’t it?
LOVE IT!!!
CALLY !!! CALLY!!! We got Cally this playoffs!!!! Last year we did ok…BUT CALLY IS BACK!!!!
Genevieve Morton, South African Supermodel babe, is at the game! Oh baby!
Girardi appears to be much less nervous than any of us on the blog..
Hi Carp!
Just letting you know.. there will be Norwegian chocolate as a prize in the beard contest! ;)
Hi mama! Miss you! Wish I was there! Tell Tony I’ll see him in June!!!
Girardi let up on Philips and he shouldn’t have, loved the scrums by our boys on the pk.
Bitz got 2 games and weber got zippo?? Are you fugging kidding me?!
Cally=captain
Jagr=joke of a captain
Especially early, they cleared the zone much more crisply
than they had been the last coupla months.
Hank looks nothing like December/January Hank.
Fightin’ it a little bit…
Oh hello Blues and Scottrade!
Someone needs to plant Neil before he hurts somebody. Also, the ref supervisor needs to introduce the referees to holding calls. The Sens are holding us all over the rink.
Genevieve can play my vuvuzela anytime!
Blues/Sharks & Bruins/Craps scoreless, halfway through the first period.
Neil has gotten away with multiple trips and what looked a board on Anisimov. Got no problem with putting the whistles away if it means the Rangers get the same latitude
Damn straight, Banj! What a set on that one.
I couldn’t see the Neil hit on Artie. MSG never showed a replay.
Linda – nope. Watching on Slingbox. Not watching intermission anyway. Sorry I can’t share!
Lin
Yep, Sam deserved what he got!!
It was a clean hit, Orr….Richards hit was similar before the goal….
Keenan. What a slug…
no worries bud! i gotta look into this slingbox thing, wonder if my parents in NY would leave an extra tv on for me during hockey season set to MSG LOL
Krisy
I sooo want to win the contest
Pretty solid period. They need to relax a bit in their own zone.. look a little nervous.
I’m surprised Condra got up after Richards hit him. His head smacked against the glass pretty hard. Wish it was Spezza/Alfredo or Michalek.
Lundqvist has been an inexcusable debacle to this point.
Gaborik, btw, was one of those 7 this year….
Game on again
pardon me sam
McDonut needs to hit the net!
Gaborik is blocking shots, folks…We got something here
Gotta have the same intensity!!!
COme on Crowd!! DO something!!!
he’s getting in those lanes Ilbzo!!!
We need to stay awake in our zone and keep up the pressure. Love the playoffs but my stomach is in knots. These games bring out the IBS in me.
lol @ O’Brien and Boyle
dubs looked a bit constipated there
I. HATE. ICINGS.
Dubi made a good move, but he should have taken the shot on that play.
Is Dublowsky crying?
eeeesh he’s not looking good
Dubi looks like he’s gonna cry, lol
Or should I say Kreiying
Bad move by Richards
LOL looks like dubi has IBS too!
Who was the Ottawa defenseman who got caught pinching before Dubinsky’s rush?
get your act together boys
please to get it out
Can’t have the 4th line against the top line!
Get it out of the zone!
oh mannnnnnnnnnnnnn
HOW DO YOU MISS THAT LOL
Rupper! Nooooo!
That wouldn’t have counted. Mitchell was in the zone. it would have been offside.
SO HARTNELLING CLOSE!!!! RUPPER!!!! GOTTA stick that one in!!!!!!!
that mitchell, always out of position lol ;-)
Would that empty-netter by Rupp have been waved off for the Rangers being offside?
Rupp nearly won the lottery
Maybe they would have missed Mitchell, like Briere!
Yes, Spider.
I don’t think Rupps shot would have counted because Mitchell was off side
WOW!!! This must be a great game to watch for a non fan. Lots of action on both sides of the ice. Keep up the pressure boyz!!! LETS GO RANGERS!!!
Greg!!!! Are you ready to win?!!!!!”
True, Voice.
BANJ, I only get t-shirts when I can finagle lots of them for free :)
Damn!
Need to pick it up now!
Boyle=Beast.
dubi looked good there
Gabby!!!!!!
What effort by RUSLAN!!!! Veteran leadership!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nice move by Gaby
RangerSwede!!!!
That’s what I ment Mama.
Thanks Carp.
Why does every goalie look like Hasek versus us?
Carp, seriously I don’t know how you do what you do…..I’m watching, blogging here, texting and e-mailing…..my head is about to spin off my neck…..if I also had to write about this game I’d be fired or jump off a bridge..
Linda – They don’t need to leave the TV on for Slingbox. Just have a cable box hooked up on a TV they’re not using and you can control it. http://www.slingmedia.com
Stralman is just horrible moving puck out of zone
What the fugg was that??
HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANK!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lol BANJ!!!! I don’t think that will happen here tonight…hank!!!!!
HENRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
GET UP CROWD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
love you Spider
Playing a wide-open game is not going to work in our favor…..
WTB is MDZ sliding like a penguin for ARGH!
I’m not jumping off a bridge, and they won’t fire me.
Hank looks solid
They look disjointed this period
Did Del Z seriously dive on a one on one?
They look shaky in their zone. Gahhhhhh!
I think they’ve looked good in the other zones though.
Though….now I feel a challenge BANj…...hmmmmmmmm
Carp – You’re apparently the only hockey writer who noticed the offside/empty net live. Way to go!
he deftly took himself out of the play Orr lol
Enough of these icings already!
SO MANY ICINGS.
too many icings.
Right back atcha! {{LINDA}}
Thank you, Spider.
Good TO Tortles. Team is not playing smart, having a lot of trouble clearing zone.
Torts Rules
Rangers looking a step slower this period.
LMAO Carp!!!!! No, they surely are not…...and you’re not even on a ledge, much less a bridge…:)
Just grab some and run!
halfway thru 2nd, Hank looks a little more steady,
and he sure needed to be….
BRIDGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Is it just me, or does Prust have less of a beard now than he did during season?
Time to get it in gear and play in their end. They have dominated this game since the second half of the first period.
Is it me or are we playing like complete trash-league?
AGGH!
ARGH!
GRRRRRRrr
Dammit! Dammit! Dammit!
There you go!
Good timeout!!!!
We got our legs back!!
We’re firing!!!!!!!!!!!
Its only a matter of time before a Rangers bullseye!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Even the women in the Paraguayan League can execute a 2-1 better than that.
Nice pass by Del Z there
Hagelin clobbered Karlsson near the ear.
Yeah I agree Lundqvist is sharper now. Rest of the team had been poor up until that shift
Anderson keeping these fools in it now
Yeah, but they’re born doing 2-on-1s in Paraguay, Miami.
absolutely HORRIFIC ‘music’ at MSG
CARP, good point.
What did Torts say there, Carp? His body language, I mean…
is it me or does every goalie turn into Patrick Roy against us?
Lots of hartnells being tossed around where I am…and I have contributed none, I swear!
Hags has got to roof that 2-1
Ok, I hartnelling lied..
Crap!
Ugh, are you kidding me?
Thats not a penatly!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BULLSH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
3rd penalty on us, only 1 on them. I guess we’re the 8 seed.
wow. i think that’s a lousy call.
On that note…..hartnell!
What the hartnell was that?
Girardi rubbing off on McD. Not good.
They have to stop doing that.
MDZ has to hit that guy along boards
What the hell!
I think he said something about the arrogant, whiny Pittsburgh stars, minus the obscenity, ilb.
Neil just got away with the same exact penalty they called on Bickel! C’mon!
wow… that’s just wrong
someone take out Neil
Trip! No call!
Good job fans. Chant AAsens!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thats a penalty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
COME ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Theyre chgeatying us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
And Neil gets away with more b.s.
Ballsy PK!
yaaay PK
girardi skating while intoxicated?
How good is Karlsson? My God.
who is this CLOWN reffing the game? I mean, seriously.
Whether or not that should have been icing, they need to STOP chucking the puck down the ice. It’s ridiculous.
Now they call another icing.
KILL THE REFEREES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!This game is being reffed horribly.
horrible officiating.. seriously
ANOTHER trip!
GABBY!
GABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAABBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Woooohoooooh!
WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
HOLY GABORIK WHAT A PLAYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gabba, Gabba, Dooooooooooooo
WHOOOOOOO!!!!!!

FUGGGG YOU REFEREES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You cant steal it away form us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
GBABABBBBY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now, that’s skills, baby!
WHAT A BALLLLLLLLLLLER
Wow! What a play by Cally! What a fuggin play!
Good lord…
Come on Artie
Now that’s more like it!
Gabby! Rangers! Hank! I love everybody….!!!!!!
I guess the Norris Trophy is an offensive award after watching Karlson D on Gabby’s goal.
Five Hole!
Awesome play!!!!! Gabby!!!!!!
I rarely get into energetic criticism of the refs – but that last four minutes before Gabby’s GREAT
goal was awesomely inept…
Have not heard “these refs suck” at MSG in a long time.
Anybody know of a free online site to stream the game?
YEAH!~!~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11]
PENALTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
COME ON GUYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
FINISH!!!!!!!!!!!!! FINISH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That could be a hugely deflating goal. Rangers need to put this one away
Some hands, huh? also, some wheels by Hagelin to help force the turnover.
Tiki….hahahah!
Game over! series over!
breathing a little better now!!! LGR!!
Gabby!!!! And finally a penalty…
That wouldn’t have counted if it went in,
I know Artie is young but will he ever become a legit sniper in this league?
Jeez! Just barely missed a 3rd goal there!
Some good chances on the two PPs so far.
typical PP, lol
They practiced this?
If anybody knows of a free online site to stream the game that would be great. All I have is NHL center ice. All the games will be blocked out.
FLAVAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BOYLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BOYLE!

Boyle earned it. He was one of the better players even before he scored.
RangersWest, try firstrowsports.eu
It’s a pp goal!!!!! BB!!!!!
Nash who?
I LOVE THIS TEAM!!!!
dumb dumb chant
R-A-N-G-E-R-S.
Now, the dreaded 3 goal lead…..
OH NO!!!!
ORRS SONG!
LOL @ the USA chants..
they do know half the team is canadian?
aaaand it’s that ridic song
WOOP WOOP!
Don’t forget the last 3-0 playoff lead.
USA, lol, so stupid.
The song!
There’s that humpy song!
How stupid is the U.S.A. chant? Do they realize more than half the Rangers team is Canadian?
AA looks good!!
Great end to the period! Fuggin awesome!!
hey carp.. thats what i said! lol
Yeah, such a stupid chant!
Artie with two assists! Conn Smyth Cup?
BOOM goes the DYNAMITE!!!
RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANGERS!!!!!!
Lets go gog go gog go go gogogo!!!
LETS GO RANGERS!!!!
LETS GO RANGERS!!!
LETS GO RANGERSS!!!
Good timeout by Torts. Good second part of the period.
Krisy!!!
that chant is kinda out of place
Nash Bridges?
Yeah Carp , Me too!!!
Well now, that’s the way to end a period.
How fitting was it to have RANGE AND R AND S follow the USA chant. Stupidity on top of stupidity.
We’re getting this to 1,000 comments, right? At 520+ right now.
Rangers were being handled from the latter stages of the first all the way up until Tortorella called that time out. And thanks to that move, Rangers will play Saturday night up 1-0.
Give Tortorella the Broadway hat tonight
What a lucky team. These no-talent clowns should be DOWN 3-0. I can’t believe how fortunate we are that Anderson opened up his legs and that that amateur-hour, two-bit player “Gaborik” actually shot the puck. I still say that we should trade him for a bag of pucks.
If we don’t play THE KREIDER, we are screwed.
City represented Carp…. How stupid is that tweet.
That all you got, Pimp? ;)
Good couple of days to be in STL. Blues game 1 at Scottrade tonite, Cards home opener is tomorrow.
Miami, it doesn’t look like promised “PO special”. C’mon, you can do better…
Sharks beating Blues 1-0
Rangers Report ? @rangersreport
Westlake QB John D’Onofrio will play football at Ithaca College.
Huh?
It’s playoffs, Lloyd. You don’t expect Ottawa, with all their fire power, to be quiet all game. Of course they pressured. The bottom line, the Rangers didn’t give up much, and Hank was solid. That’s the way it goes, you pressure and can’t score, it’ll go back in your net. Gotta love the timeout, though. He was calming them down, essentially, probably reminding what kept them all year long. Back to business.
Holtby with 23 saves. No goals allowed.
Very strong finish. And icing free!
Let’s close it out boys!
LGR!
gee i wonder why the nydailynews.com and nypost.com are not running a
breaking news scroll with the score of the game
Who wins a fist fight Torts or Keenan?
i think we need a tshirt that says
WHAT A PLAY BY CALLAHAN
Hey,Miami, forget about south of the boarder’s teams, go north, to Eskimo lacrosse team for comparison. Like, can’t score on mink coat for Eskimo girl…, or something.
Torts. He’s got new hips so he’s more mobile/ agile
Didn’t NYR blow a three goal lead at home against the Sens this season??
lets go for 1000+ comments in this post!

one a day
ok im done ;-p
two a day
Of course I can do better.
And anyone can do better than this mockery of a “team” you guys follow so passionately. Just watch these county-fair carnies pull of the “impossible” and give up 4 goals in the next 20 minutes to deflate all your hopes and dreams.
Sure, you may read my posts and say “this guy is off his rocker”. Even if I was ON my rocker, I’d play better than these fools. Lundqvist has a shutout merely a courtesy of the Senators either missing the net or shooting right at his 1-pack. The minute those fools figure out that they should shoot glove or stick side or at the gaping five-hole, this series is 4-and-done.
Enjoy the third period collapse.
Lol@ hips!
20 more solid minutes, boys
did sam just say ‘tortarelli’
ILBZO!
WHy are these fools doing Potvin sucks chants??? Inspire your team you idiots. CHeer, make noise, you fools!!!!
Just had a while debate about Boyle…..I won.
The Tortsman with a brilliant timeout!!!! Excellent coaching!!!
but the timeout was because they were gassed and had to stay out for the icing.
LOL! Bickel hit Greening with the puck. Poor guy!
Gotta have the same intensity!!!!!
No Letup!!!!!!
Keep fighting!!!
Desire!!!!!
Keenan’s a lot bigger … I bet both would fight dirty.
NAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY
RICHARDS!
WHOOOOOOOOO B_RICH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BRICH!!!!
Pouring it on!
Woooohooooo!!
Meanwhile, already the whole flock of the Grey Gooses flying from my Kramer’s coffee table towards my mouth with every goal, PP and PK. So far, so good and ice is excellent…and future is bright!
EDCHARDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow, this is exactly the game the Rangers had to play. So sweet!!
OH, BABY!!!!
CHUCK THAT WOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Woooooooooo hooooooooooo!
The Rangers are the class of the East.
RICHIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Potvin does duck! Hay hay hay!!
YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
RICHARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
FINISH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HAGELIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
You want3ed to know how theyd come out, ILBZO?!?
YOU GOT YOUR ANSWER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LOUD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
AND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
CLEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Hags!!!!! What a play!!
BPlus!!!!!!!!!!!!! Pope!!!!!!!!!!!!! Chompers!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Chicklet!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YEAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!
I’m scared to play the Sens!!!!!!!!!
Hahaha. I meant hey, not horse food
Am I totally crazy, or did they add a guitar solo to the end of the goal song this season?
LMAO, Lin!
As a neutral observer, I don’t really see the big deal with the U-S-A chant.
OK, there’ll be some idiots who do it because they really think it’s some sign of superiority over Canadians, but it’s mostly just a non-serious US team versus Canadian team thing, right? Doesn’t mean people don’t know the Rangers have non-American players.
Hagar with a BEAUTY OF A FEED!
@HageLin-I’ll take that shirt in a 5XL !
That’s the key to this series. Pound their defense. Gonchar got exposed, Filigno couldn’t hold on to the puck. 4-0. Kuba and Gonchar will be their targets.
worth every penny.
NYC Ranger, they add the guitar for the playoffs every season.
Good trade by Rupp!
Go Rupper!
:-) Educator!
They’re playing a perfect game so far… All the talk from the experts was how inexperienced this team is for the play offs… So far proven wrong.
Agree LW… They represent the city …pretty dumb for calling out fans for that.
Cally doing his best Vito Corleone impression
Hags may outweigh Karlsson – man he is good though with the puck. In his own zone, eh, not so much
Damn! So close!
People tried to vote Jessica off on Idol! America is full of idiots. But we already knew this. Video at 11.
Now back to the Rangers!
Cmon Dubby!!!! Get a goal!!
I think Neil is finally going to have to drop the mitts in this one.
Men against boys at the moment
wow.. what a game
YEAH BABY!!! Keep the pressure on!!!! KILL!!!!!
THIS is playoff hockey.
Tell Josh no more tweeting about high school football on the RangersReport account.
My man Dubi can’t buy a goal now….......
This is where the Men have to keep punishing, ilb.
This sure ain’t the team from the last week of the regular season
Staal feeling it tonight…. Sweet
you tell him, Spider. He’s only 26. Go easy on him.
Truth is, Rangers could be up by more.
Men vs. Boys right now.
Carp, how’s the atmosphere?
Where are you located in the Garden?
How good is No. 30?
The whole team is playing well. Everyone has stood out. Well, maybe not Mitchell. He’s only playd under four minutes. I get the feeling Kreider may be replacing him soon.
and I know you’re in the press box…where is that located now?
Theyve got no room to breathe. They cant get through the neutral zone!!! Theyre suffocated!!!
MSG is showing Rocky? Who has NOT seen that movie yet, jeesh
These up to the minute commercials on MSG are great!
Carp, there are no words to described
Oooo, we’re afraid to play Ottawa Bluto…
Their defense hasn’t done anything spectacular, but it’s been very steady. MDZ looks well, Stralman- ditto. And Bickel, who looked a bit shaky at the beginning, has settled nicely. Good signs.
AA is very noticeable on ice at this game – good sign. He will score rather sooner than later, I’m sure. Hope, when Senators will realize they don’t have a good goalie and vulnerable D (even with so offensive minded Carlson and old fart Gonchar)it will be too late…
WHAT A PLAY BY CALLAHAN!
Another PP
This Smith must want an ass kicking
Dr Zachry Smith – lost in Space?
Zach Smith plays a tough hard game… in the penalty box.
Pressbox above the 328s. Good atmosphere. Definitely not sustained loudness.
Good coaching!!! 2 Dmen on the ice!!! Torts!!!!
LMFAO, Lost in Space!
did that stat just say thomas has 7 saves at the end of the 2nd… lmfao
Fugg
aw freakin boo
Weird goal. Oh well
Oh dear!
Damn…
God dammit, Dublowsky!
Never play prevent!!
Freak goal…....shizznit
Dumb Dubi was so dumb that he decided to give the puck away at the blue line, which led to a goal.
is that a momentum goal? lol
Is it me or does the MSG broadcast make the Garden sound quiet compared to the NBC broadcasts last night
Maybe I was too greedy thinking shutout for Hank…gott burn his aasen that it was a Swede that scored on him.
Can’t overstate how key that time out was. Rangers were totally on their heels with a 1 goal. Immediately after the time out, the Rangers arguably had their two best shifts of the game. Shortly after that, Gaborik scored that back breaker.
PP
Penaqlty!!!!!!!!
Lost in Space?
LOL @ Smith
The Smith guy seems like a pretty big fail, from what he’s shown us tonight.
Your fault, Ranger75 :-)
Guys, its about the win. Get the W. All that matters. Rather Sens get a goal in this game and be shutout by Henrik next game. The goal should make Henrik angry.
Totally agree about the Timeout call. Huge
I know, I know.
ORR, been meaning to tell you that your linked website is f’in awesome!!!!!!!!!!!
Nightmare matchup so far.
Yeah, it’s one hell of a site!
For me, it was the time out that was key…let me say that again here in a little bit
Does anyone still want to play against Maltby? He is shutting down Boston at the moment.
1 minute till Neil and Rupp get out to dance?
Carp – I already told him, on Twitter. :P
Good effort. Run this puppy out and laugh at Chris Neil when he comes out of the box.
Agree, it turned into a turning point. But it wasn’t strategic. It was a no-brainer because the guys on the ice were gassed and had iced the puck.
And they got pinned another time after that timeout, and just before Gaborik lugged it out to start the 2-0 goal.
Sounds quiet in the Garden now, especially for a PP.
I forgot the Senators scored, lol
Yup, very quiet.
This PP is atrocious.
CarP, I’m in the section right in front of the press box. I’m also drunk, and very, very wrong about the outcome of this game.
Should be rocking the roof off.
LW, you are the biggest troll and I love you for that!
Neil won’t go with Rupp.. He’ ll try to get Prust to go.
That’s nice, Doodie.
LMAO Mickey!
Boyle’s been in Spezza’s face all night…
Speaking of alfredsson, anyone else remember when Schneider bloodied him in a fight when he was with the rangers?
Captainhan’s been a total monster tonight.
Cally with great hit on Turris
Wake up fans!!
They should boot all the suits for the PO’S
Good job Henry!
No worries, Doodie, will surely remind you in the morning :-)
“That’s nice, Doodie.” HAHAHAHA
Yup – totally agree. I’d be louder than half the crowd myself with a sixer in me (trust me, my voice carries and my whistle is loud and shrill).
That’s the most disappointing part of the game….the crowd should make me jealous I’m not there.
Rather, it’s making me glad I don’t have to take the train back to Stamford!
Blues/Sharks tied 1-1
Who let Doodie get drunk and post? :P
Nice!!! thx Orr!!! anyone here got a guitar tab or the goal song?
Drunk Doodie!!
Prust won’t mind.
Alfred(son)! To the Bat Cave!
ilb, by Maltby you, of course, mean Holtby, right?
Torts will
This isn’t good.
that was not necessary
dang
I dont like the ending at all!!!!
How do we get upside down and allow that? I mean really?
LMFAO 4ever!
Yeah, 4ever….of course
C’mon guys don’t give them any confidence.
Let’s Go Finish Strong!!!!!
Damn, 4-2.
Hank made the mistake of moving first on that goal.
Staal stepping up while leading by 3 – stupid!
Dammit! Condrum scores a goal…
Just score an empty netter and wrap this up
Let down…. Condra the hero of the Calder cup last year
Guy near me on the ledge…...meh…LGR!
Nick foligno! Ranger killer!
Torts have to reconsider and think about matching game
the hell was that, Dubi?
I always score with a Condrum.
I do like that ending. A little reminder what may happen if they let the pedal off the floor
sorry… had to do it!
Dubi = dumb asshat
well done NYC
stop trying to ice the puck! SHEESH
I hope Dubi scores the empty netter, just to spite JJ from Gross’ blog.
I set you up on that one, NYC!
Sens are getting momentum
New York Rangers 1
Ottawa Senators 0
wow nice play from Cally on his knees
Good work boys. One down, 15 more to go.
Those goals accomplished nothing other than hurting Hanks stats
lol @ NCountry
How big was that 4th goal! Huge start to the period. The finisher!
exactly NC, i think sam credited boyle with that play lol
1 Down, 15 To Go!!
WHOOOOOOOO!!!! That’s one baby!!!!!
WooHooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!
WOOHHOOOOOO.
One down!
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SMELLS LIKE…..............
VICTORY!@
15 to go, ‘heads!
One down.
I love my boys ! ! !
Doodie..hahahahahaha!
Helmet nuzzles and a salute!!!!!!!
That’s the song I want to hear – the Rangers Victory Song!!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O3WATk1W7P0
Take that Joe! We didn’t get swept!
Thought Artie played well
Good work boys. Just tighten it up in the 3rd period next game and we’ll be super-fine….
one down, 15 to go!!!
LGR!
ole oleoleole oleeeeeeeeee :)
First Star….CHRIS KREIDER!!!!!
Jimbo I owe you 50% of my royalties!
Let’s Go Black Hawks!
Great win !! Sweet!
Despite The USA chants
Great game, great win. I expect a repeat Saturday night!
GOOD GAME , Greaaaaat show by our guys!!!
RANGERS WIN!! RANGERS win!!! RANGERS WIN!!!
ok ok , now on to game two… Might have to put in Biron to rest Hank a bit. HAHAHAHAHA!!!
Blues up 2-1
Good effort all around. Showed why we were in first all year long. Rangers win and its no fluke.
Caps/Bruins still scoreless
I can’t believe the Bruins/Craps game is scoreless. Ten minutes to go.
Go Caps, Go Sharks, Go Coyotes!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH
Nah, not necessary, NYR – I was happy to score the “assist”!
Night guys! Im dead tired. We needed a big win, and it took a lot out of me. See youse tomorrow! 1 down…
Night Tiki!
can you imagine the panic in Boston if the Bruins get shutout by a noname goalie? can you imagine the hysteria here?
this was a good win, first game jitters are gone now and Anderson is beatable on Garden ice. I thought Cally was gonna knock Gilroy into the 10th row of seats with that hit.
EASTERN CONFERENCE GAME ONE VICTORY COOKIE!!!!
GO Yotes!
lmfao Banj!!
Niters Tiki!!! have a good one!!
The Gabby, Rich$, Hag line was on fire tonight also
Bruins outshooting Craps 27-12.
Lol, BANJ. Keep them fresh, hope they last…
BANJ, do you seriously only have 15 cookies left?
I don’t care about shutout in a PO, but too bad this 2 goals gives Sens feeling they can score (and rather quickly) on Hank and Rangers.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
ilb, I freeze them so they don’t bounce.
Sharks score. 2-2
LMAO@ frozen cookies!
Yeah Lin. Just enough unless you want to bake me one more for the parade through the Canyon of Heros. :)
i’ll make you some new ones BANJ!!
Amen BANJ! KRIEDER 4-EVA
I am jealous of BANJ’s cookies :P
you know i will BANJ!!
sorry, guys. those two late goals mean absolute nothing, either in this game or for Saturday night.
as I said a week ago, Rangers will win this series easily.
Carp, are you surprised at the outcome? i.e. sounded like you thought the Rangers may lose the 1st one
Butt-Chin looks a bit weird without his beard.
Me too, Mickey!!!
Linda taking care of her favorite type-2!!! Love ya!
Oh no! Stan Fishler talking to the Sens. LOL!
Blues/Sharks heading to OT
That could potentially be the best or worst thing to happen to the Rangers in this series, ORR.
Emrick’s voice just cracked like he’s 12 again
you’re good with them B, you ration perfectly!
i saw that Mickey!
I love it when he does that, Mickey! So funny! I always laugh every time I hear that happen to someone. That’s what I miss most aboot High School. I was surrounded by it!
That never happened to me though. How does it still happen to Emrick? Weird.
Yup! Well I’ve been up since 2am..I hope I sleep tonite. Cya tomorrow ‘heads!
1 down, 15 to go….LETS GO RANGERS!!!!
methinks Mike Emrick is sitting on whole mountain of problems
lmao Mickey!!
Did you hear Sam when Richards scored!? it sounded like he was wobbling on a tight rope!
sleep well B!! text ya on lunch lol
Semin getting gang banged by the Bruins.
NICE SHORTS CALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bruins/Craps going to OT as well. Loving all the OT!!
was Hank or Cally the number one star?
ORR…his response will be slaps like he did when he fought with Staal
the supposed content/language requirements here are so laughably arbitrary I’d almost think Gary Bettman signed off on them
I did, Lin! Funny stuff.
Caps/Bruins to Ot
If Semin isn’t re-signed by the Craps, he should play bongos for Santana. Just a thought!!
bwahahahah ORR!!!
by the way, have you tried any of the Ben & Jerry’s frozen greek yogurts yet?
Cally num 1 star I think
Keith Jones just called Ranger-killer Foligno’s turnover on the Richards goal a “debacle”. Inexcusable.
many thanks Jobi-Wan
I hope Craps win tonight, just to get into Bruins heads.
Can you imagine if Pens lose, Bruins lose and NJD lose? Not that the Rangers could coast into the Stanley Cup Finals but would make life alot easier for them and for us.
I’ve tried two, Lin. The strawberry shortcake and the blueberry vanilla graham. Pretty good. I like the blueberry vanilla one, because I love the graham cracker swirl!
FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! a Torts presser!!!!!!!!
Hank was named 1st star…
Staal played best game of the season, Boyle n Gabby great
Mitchell looks like a zombie out there….Give me Kreider!
Jonathan Toes’ first game back from concussion, and he scores. 1-0 Hawks
To be fair, Mitchell only played four minutes. But, I agree, I’d rather see Kreider, just to see what he looks like here.
Stars 1. Cally 2 gabby 3 Boyle HM Hank
LOL! Torts getting testy.
gotta love Torts!
Orr, i recommend the raspberry, it was really good
Kreider gets in next week…
too bad Greek Orthodox Easter will have taken place before his debut
Bruins wins
Did Torts just say Kreider will get ice time? I heard him say they were gonna get someone on the ice but couldn’t hear e question so I don’t know who he was talking about
damnit i just put the bruins game on and they just scored… damn
Well, that’s the goal you’d expect a 3rd string goalie to give up…
Lin, I’ll have to try that one! Also the Peanut Butter/Banana one!
you guys were stupendous tonight!
see ya for game 2!!!
Thomas has the kinda stached you see on TCAP
Well, he stopped everything else that was thrown at him, but that wasn’t a very good goal he gave up.
Torts didnt sound happy with the 4th line
Se Ya, Lin – keep the cookie ovens burning!
See Ya, I meant….dopey fingers!
Roszival is still playing?? o.O
How do the rangers think they’ll win this series if they give up two goals in the third. Ottawa has this one in the bag. Here’s to next season.
Are you drinking Jimbo? LOL
No, Mickey – I’m just naturally impaired!!
I like that the Panthers/Devs game is the only game not aired on NBC. They know it’s going to be a total borefest
Kidding, Jimbo :)
So far so good. Really liked Gaborik’s game. He’s played a great all around game. Game two Saturday. Let’s keep rolling!
was on my way back from MSG so didn’t see press conference. what was Tortorella bitching about?
if i hears him right he said that the sens rolled 4 lines, he didnt and said im not going to discuss why. mitchell had 5 mins of ice. rupp had 4.
He was complaining aboot how Boyler can’t fight.
Strong work tonight, boys! 15 more to go!
was a bit surprised by that. don’t recall seeing Bickel much after that asinine penalty and even Prust only played handful of minutes. that said, I don’t think there’s much value in playing Mike Rupp under optimum circumstances and considering he had about 12 minutes worth of penalties there wasn’t really any room for him.
I think those 12 minutes worth of penalties were pretty valuable, Lloyd. He kept Neil off the ice, a trade I’d take any day.
Torts used the forbidden m-word (shhh… “momentum”).
What next? UFOs, chupacabras, Mitchell goals?
4 mins too many for Rupp, Mitchell was no where
Put the ‘second coming’ in the flipping next game so he can get his mojo going!
WAY TO GO BOYS!!!!!
YEHAWWWWWWWWWW!!
RANGERS WON RANGERS WON RANGERS WON!!!
I agree with you, Latona. He was running everyone.
lemons and lemonade but whatever floats your boat
I wonder what Sean Avery is up to right now.
like, if you’re only going to play Mitchell 4:59 you might as well use Krieder, but I somehow doubt Tortorella’s going to change anything after tonight’s performance.
i actually didnt see Mitchell on the ice at all today. Rupp was noticeable… Mitchell keeps this up and Kreider WILL see ice time.
Did Roenick just say “outdooed”?
I thought torts ice time and he will play comments were in response to a question about brich
What an awesome game! I was up in 306—did anyone hear the “SIT DOWN YELLOW!” chant? OMG THAT WAS HILARIOUS. I’m still kind of hurting from laughing so hard!
TONY FROM AZ if you read this, please do you have an email address you could post on here so I can contact you for those pics you took? That would be awesome. If not, I will make some kind of disposable email addy for myself at some point soon… I will try to check back here when I can, or just continuously hound you for the shots. Nice to put the face with the name, btw!
I’ve been really busy with work, which is not such a bad thing, AND I was lucky enough to be able to go to the game tonight. What a great time!
Happy for you, billy. LGR!
I wish I could have gone out after the game, but I have been burning the candle at both ends and need to finish the week strong. I should be rested by Saturday night’s game :D although I am not going to that one :(
new post.
Latona, thanks buddy, I hadn’t been to a game in soooooooo long… really, in a really really really long time. Oh man, I had such a blast. I need to advance my career so I can afford season tickets, lol. That will be the driving force behind my motivation lol.
Ok, off to bed :/
G’night!
LOL! Anyone watching the St. Louis game see the CNBC commercial on repeat?
There are people on the nhl.com site talking about Carkner changing the series for the Sens. Is Crack making a comeback?
Carkner may be a bad mamber-jamber but does anybody believe he’ll intimidate this team?
Loving the train guy who loves my shirt
