Josh Thomson is filling in at practice at MSG today and will have some info and reaction for us later from the Garden.
In the meantime we’re going to do another Playoff Live Chat right here at noon.
So bring your questions and comments, and if you need a little therapy because of the two OT losses that have ya boys in a precarious 2-2 series, well, we’ll try to provide that too.
Be there. Or else.
*******************************************
Also, I’m looking for more volunteers to do the Three Rangers Stars for remaining games. Game 5 and 6 are still available. If you’re interested, please e-mail me at rcarpini@lohud.com.

Good morning, boneheads!
I thought the comments section was closed again, lol
Better Beans- speaking of goofy :-). Like your posts, don’t always agree ( fatigue ), doesn’t matter. But careful, you may eventually out metaphor yourself out :-))))))
Devs/Panthers : 2-2
Bruins/Caps: 2-2
JUST SAYIN….
Keep the faith baby!
LGR’S
NO SOUP FOR SENATORS!
Hope they don’t give the Sens as much time and space ,they def backed up to much
Good morning all! Hartnell! Will miss chat, again, thank you work…..LGR!!!! LGT!!!
Thanks youse all for the birthday wishes yesterday!
Banj, I want to make it clear that I did not wish you happy birthday yesterday. Happy birthday! It’s a great stage of life you’re at. Enjoy it.
Speaking of birthdays…
Happy 26th, CTB!
Good morning, Carp!
Happy 26th, CTB!
Happy 26th, CT!!!! May the Rangers obtain a cup in this beautiful year of the celebration of your birth.
Did we sign Joel Lundavist yet?
How about that Joe Thornton, eh?
Carp – when did the Rangers call up Chad Kolarik? He’s on the official game sheet for every game this series?
Oh wait, he got hurt and he’s been on the Rangers roster ever since. That makes sense as to why he’s on all of the game sheets.
Caloric!
Any of you attorneys on here do Insurance Defense? I have a second interview today and need some advice.
Wellman?
Manny, I did for a little while. What do you want advice on?
In May I’m headed to Palm Beach for a little vacation.
Does anyone know of any good bar’s, restaurant’s etc to watch the playoffs?
Doodie – e-mail
theblackcrackerscorp@gmail.com
Who’s ready for tomorrow’s display of amateur-hour?
Or can I email you?
i’ve had a horrible dream! I dreamt that Lundqvist ate bad cookies given to him by a Sens player (don’t remember who) and he couldn’t play game 5 and instead his brother Joel Lundqvist started in net for us and we lost the game 6-0! :(
Thank god mailman rang my door and i woke up!
Every series could by 3-2 if the cards fall right this weekend – setting up some great viewing
Count Buttman must be licking his slimy lips
so is the chat live now?
what about now? is it live?
NOW?is it?
Yes, its started 3C
i’m bored…
so…who’s selling their game 5 tickets?
Larry Brooks is dead on in his column today: Rangers cannot continue to get outmuscled. That’s supposed to be their thing.
How long have you been doing that Manny?
I don’t do it yet ANF….basically…...Maybe you can help too!
Basically – I have a second interview today at a firm downtown. I am kind of scared of the place because I have always worked at laid back small firms and this place seems like a mill for attorneys. You know, suit every day, long hours, Saturdays at least once a month, that kind of place. I am just wondering what the options are once you do that for a year or two because I would assume you gain incredible experience and learn New York Practice really well. I just can’t see myself doing that for life. So do you think it’s a good career move in that it will provide me with more options down the road?
Right now I am working at an environmental law firm where I am 10% lawyer, 30% Personal Assistant and 60% Paralegal/Secretary/Accountant
I have extensive experience in insurance defense.
Manny, it depends how happy you are where you are. Does the place downtown have the initials L& J somewhere in its name?
Yes ANF. It does.
I am mildly happy here but my boss is kind of erratic and we don’t really handle enough litigation.
Kings up 3-1
Philly up 3-1
Coyotes up 3-1
Just sayin…
Should we e-mail about this – I don’t want anyone getting fired.
Also where I am now there is zero chance for advancement or raises or any sort of progress in my life and at
3126 I need to make moves.Yeah, youre married now. Youve got a wife and possibly future kids to worry about.
And I was kidding about extensive insurance defense. I just wanted someone to say really to me and Id respond with No, not really, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn last night!
Manny,
YOU’RE FIRED!
Awww!!! My mom wrote a guest post about why she likes hockey! It’s cute! She calls Stu Bickel “the biggest baby” and says something about “quarters”...
http://wp.me/pzoXg-3X
Outmuscled? – Rangers seem physically smaller in every battle save for their 4 high skill guys against Boyle, Rupp and Bickel – when other teams pick up the intensity and play PO style hockey like the Rangers did all regular season, our style advantage is negated. We have tremendous heart and desire but they are playing like a mirror image of us. All the more reason Dubi, Step, and MDZ have to take up a notch.
they don’t provide the tale of the tape like football but here are some of ht/wt of some of the Sens D
MATT CARKNER 6’ 4” 237
JARED COWEN 6’ 5” 230
CHRIS PHILLIPS 6’ 3” 221
FILIP KUBA 6’ 4” 225
the series is more about youth v vets – we are very very young compared to them
Manny that hockey team is not great. The coach(es) are really stringent and make players jump through hoops (and come down hard when the player makes a mistake).
I hear very scary things about that Hockey team. Like they always have to play Overtime and they usually have to practice on Saturdays. You think I should run away screaming from that hockey team?
Yes. Not a good free agent destination
I was thinking about canceling the second interview. At least where I am I can wear jeans and blog all day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Manny, we have a saying here in Buffalo, “The hell you know is better than the hell you don’t.”
AMEN Sally
Jerry: “Oh no you don’t! Osgood, I’m gonna level with you. We can’t get married at all.”
Osgood (Joe E. Brown): “Why not?”
Jerry: “Well, in the first place, I’m not a natural blonde.”
Osgood: “Doesn’t matter.”
Jerry: “I smoke! I smoke all the time!”
Osgood: “I don’t care.”
Jerry: “Well, I have a terrible past. For three years now, I’ve been living with a saxophone player.”
Osgood: “I forgive you.”
Jerry: [tragically] “I can never have children!”
Osgood: “We can adopt some.”
Jerry: “But you don’t understand, Osgood!”
[Finally gives up and pulls off his wig]
Jerry: “Ohh… I’m a man!”
Osgood: “Nobody’s perfect!”
We need Manny here!! If he takes that job, we’ll be Mannyfriedless. Turn down the job!!!!!!
Consider it turned down
ANF – can I join your firm?
we should hire Manny here at the blog. Anybody want to pass the hat?
Happy 26th, CTB!
BANJ, thank you for those very special birthday links you posted yesterday. They were hilarious.
Good morning, Sally! Your mom rules.
I would be honored, Carp. I can be the guy that puts up the new post thing.
TURNED DOWN!!!!
Sally- that story is amazing….I’m going to have mrs read it. Tears without doubt!
Manny- no interview
i can be manny’s play by play – typing what he wants to say
Thanks Carp & ilb!
Manny should definitely work at RR!!! I have some pocket change, paper clips, and some used gum I can throw in the hat. GO MANNY!
ilb, how is the Mrs? Please tell her I said hi!
Mrs is fine, Sally, thanks. She is a bit too busy at work to my liking, but she is ok. Her offices usually slow down during summer time,....
Manny, sorry I got tied up. Check your e-mail
I see Callahan and Richards are back together with Gaborik on a different line. Well Hank better pitch a shutout cause that line certainly aint scoring and unless Stepan raises his game as well, Gaborik might not be able to score either.
Hopefully, this doesn’t cost the Rangers the game and can reunite our top line for game 6…
what we need….what we need…..solidarity…ohhhhh yeah…..solidarity
I thought you already did that, Manny. Why buy the cow when the milk’s free? :)
No Problemo Mr. Doodie. Thanks, pal.
manny – everybody want to work for a living…they want to see the game on saturday, they want to keep their children warm…...solidarity…
Live chat in two …
Any time Carp!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY CTB!!!!!
You’re right, Carp. You’re really speaking my language there. I did grow up in dairy farming area.
NEW POST (< ——FREE)
Happy 4:20 eddie!
Manny, it’s time to announce a…
everybody want the same thing, dont they?....everybody wants to be forgiven…..we dont need to fight each other…..
