Just wanted to give youse all a heads up. Be there, or else … & tell your friends.
Also, hope to have Lundqvist & Del Zotto audio or transcripts later …
And a special bonus: Callahan strongly disagreeing when it was suggested team was fatigued last year. Loved that one!

Callahan disagreeing team was fatigued last year? Sounds like he lost focus when the question was asked.
Sweet – a Carp chat. It’s a Festivus miracle!!
P.S. Is the chat live now?
Dr. Carp,
Award-winning journalist of the greatest newspaper in America: “Fatigue doesn’t exist.”Stanley Cup Winning Head Coach John Tortorella: “We obviously didn’t want to lose, but especially not against the Devils. Maybe we were a bit tired the last couple of games against them”
That’s classic Callahan. His focus was horrible that time he broke his leg and the other time he broke his hand.
del zaster and number one to montreal for pk subban?
I would make that deal. Except then Milan Lucic would have a reason to get excited when he plays the Rangers.
DZ will be fine, he’s still young.
according to mckenzie
48 game schedule you play two teams 5 times in div (hopefully isles/devils and two teams 4 times in div(pitt/phil ideal for us) and then 3 games vs rest of 10 conf teams for total of 48.
i like that much better then 7 games vs div and home and home vs other 10 teams in conf
Yay chat!
Woah that’s horrible about “Forgetabootit” Moore’s wife. That’s really sad.
I don’t like that the proposed schedule is unbalanced, i.e. playing some teams 5 times and some 4, some teams at home twice and others once. Boycott the games!
Yeah – I can’t even imagine saying goodbyes and closing my eyes for the last time, with young kids
Didn’t they trade their first rounder in 2013 for Nash? Wanna go two years in a row without a first round pick?
Brian Boyle probably lost focus last year after that cheap shot against Ottawa.
Interesting breakdown of the schedule and division games:
4 games against TWO divisional opponents
5 games against TWO divisional opponents
3 games against the TEN other conference teams.
The first they’ll get for trading Stowell to the Oilers, CTB.
much rather that breakdown of schedule then 7 div games and home and home vs other conf foes. who the hell wants to play pitt 7 times in reg season.
Carp
You should do a live chat soon
what are the odds they do the 5 games vs Pitt and Philly with 3 road games vs each
ct blueshirt
you could BET THE HOUSE THEY DO. ranger luck.
A lot of our guys lost Focus after getting Concussions…
I think some of them lost Focus after they switched to Chevrolet.
Here’s to beating Phili everytime we at them this season!
Wow, Dominic moore’s wife passed away…thoughts go out to him and his family
Maybe we should sign Dominic Moore so Taylor Pyatt can help him cope with his grief. That’s some sad stuff.
Uh oh. MDZ, plus 20 in 77 games last year, was minus 9 in nine games in the Swiss League during lockout. What is he focusing on?
Or vice-versa.
Girls in Yoga Pants, mostly.
Swiss cheese ?
When NASA began the launch of astronauts into space, they found out that the
pens wouldn’t work at zero gravity (ink won’t flow down to the writing surface).
To solve this problem, it took them one decade and $12 million. They developed
a pen that worked at zero gravity, upside down, underwater, in practically any
surface including crystal and in a temperature range from below freezing to
over 300 degrees C.
And what did the Russians do…?? They used a pencil.
Hilarious!
You know you’re in Floriduh when you go to grab the sports section and you have to wade through 4 full pages covering the BCS national championship. I know it was played right here but no Florida team was even competing!
On another note I’m looking forward to starting the first Potvin Sucks! chant of the year for me when the Rags visit the Panthers.
Tiki, why do you insist on acting like an idiot toward me?
I didn’t say fatigue doesn’t exist. I said that’s not a reasonable excuse why they lost. And I still say that.
Huge fan of the one hour of Seinfeld becoming TWO hours of Seinfeld.
Yea I wouldn’t be surprised if Del Zaster was tweeting in between whistles. Focus.
“Who among us hasn’t snuck into the break room to nibble on a love newton?”
Good evening all! Yay! Chat!!!! I’ll have to set the alarm from my sickbed!!!!

RANGERS TALK!!!
http://www.blogtalkradio.com/blueshirt-banter/2013/01/09/blueshirt-underground-radio-for-new-york-rangers-fans
Yes, I got it!
Carp:
Any word as to when the modified schedule will be released and when teams will release their camp rosters?
Everyone:
Any hunches/bets/predictions/etc. as to who might/will surprise everyone and make the team? Bourque? Miller? Koralik? Other? I do not consider Kreider a lock, but he’s by no means a dark horse. He should be expected to make the team. Just curious to see what others think.
A spot or two in the league you so viciously kicked me out of?
Manny?!
You didnt want to stay! Something about the ESPN’s interface giving you the heebie jeebies…
Yea I know. I was just giving you a boat load of crap over the whole thing. Now you’ll probably threaten to kill me…..
CCCP,
did not. I do want to play though.

Manny
of course…i’m on my way.
Quick….trade Del Zotto before he wins a Norris trophy or something!! Now!!!
Rangers West … no official info expected until the new CBA is ratified … though the NHL does have a presser scheduled tomorrow at 4 p.m., I believe. I doubt there will be any surprised making the team this year, because of the short camp and no preseason games, and because the Whale is in season already. I don’t imagine many kids will be even up for camp. Kreider will. The name you keep hearing who has impressed is Hrivak. Kid’s got wheels. But I think they have just about 23 NHLers with Kreider, and that they won’t have a lot of room or need for many, or any, more.
But I’m sure we will discuss this on the live chat at noon tomorrow. Be there. Or else.
It’s going to be hard to remember all the annoying questions we are supposed to ask during a live chat. Been a while…
Any update on Sauer?
50/50
Do you think Gilroy will make the big squad? (Haven’t heard that one in YEARS!)
Avery must have the flu. Haven’t heard from him in over 48 hours.
Who plays first line LW: Kreider or Hagelin?
Nash^
new post, Manny.
Can we remove Sean from the Tweeter feed, please?
I think it’s 22 at the moment….Including Haley, who isn’t a lock, and not counting Sauer
right, ilb, so actually 21 at the moment. but only 20 in lineup … and Asham suspended for Game 1 (Must win). Probably wouldn’t have a kid around to be a healthy scratch if Bickel or Eminger could play up front in the first game.
Who knows? If they play NYI opening night, maybe they do bring up the clown. There’s another tough kid in Hartford whose name escapes me … and he’s opened a few eyes.
