Its deadline day!!
No not that one – the soccer deadline day! Will keep me entertained till game time tonight i suppose!
Step and Sid had words, etc last game. One of many things to keep an eye on.
Plus I’m wondering what Howie Rose will do tonight if Stefan Matteau scores for NJ.
Enough PA already. When do we get a bad team like the Leafs again?
disliked that storm this morning.
What storm?
Overnight. Was really heavy. Saw/heard it while babyfeeding
The mobile site is automatically changing our handles to have a capitalized first letter. Weird.
We just got power back. Out since 4 am.
Hope we have a good game against Pitt , first one did not look good
Good morning, boneheads!
A few fallen trees but no major damage in my neighborhood.
We don’t do babyfeeding at night, Dodie. Babies should sleep overnight. Talk to your Pediatrician :-)
Must win tonight!!
What are you looking at?
Doodie – You have the ability to nurse your child?
Doodie has breasticles?
Hard to see them under his Mansere
blowing last night like Rupp at the tail end of a 2 minute shift
hope they interview Skid/Cindy/Cigar lips between periods tonite
like to see Nash get a hattie – key is to stop passing to Halpern
If I’m not mistaken, didn’t Gilroy play as a forward in College, and also take the Hobey Baker award? That might not be a bad idea, for he’s no stranger to the major leagues now, and they really wouldn’t need him at defense.
Play for the point tonight
http://www.hockeyfights.com/fights/115443
Prust/Neil tilt last night – man they got to be tired after that ‘jostle’ not many landed for either but some serious ‘in fighting’ just trying to get leverage and position.
fran – Hobey Gilroy did indeed play Forward as a junior and i would have had him in there in a heartbeat instead of Bickel, especially with Rupper and Asham in the lineup to deal with any fisticuffs.
last game v. Pitt was one of the worst defensive efforts – the top 4 D have really stepped up their games since, esp DMZ and Stawl
Seeing as I had to suffer watching their last game against the Pens in person, I REALLY hope the Rangers take it to Cindy and Bettmans love birds. If the Isles can beat them soundly, we should be able to. I’d like to see a statement made in Cally’s absence. The D especially was embarrassed on opening night. Payback time.
The Rangers D, all 5 of them, are playing way better than they were last week.
God. I miss PRUST
Man. Chris Neil really looks like an ulgier Avery with that helmet on.
Gilroy played forward in high school and was converted to defense. I’m not sure about how much forward he played in college, but he definitely won the Hobey Baker while playing defense.
Romeo – you mean 5.03 D-men – don’t forget Bickel’s TOI and more importantly, his ability to close the gate when left open by others…
Manny = Boyle?
Good morning, Carp!
What was going on here last night???
Poor Boyle. I’m amazed he can even get out of bed in the morning.
Exactly, Sally….Something last night made me think you wouldn’t remember carcillo this morning…
Ummmm….that DIDN’T come out right…..
Good morning all. Pumped for tonight’s game. Can’t wait to scream at Skid in person.
Wow. Where’s the “edit comment” button when you need it…
Haha! I was actually totally sober. I meant more like how cute was that bromance between E3 and Olga?
Update on Crosby?
Or maybe I was drunk off Brandy…
To clarify the above, Gilroy was a forward in juniors but switched to defenseman in college, which is the position where he won the Hobey Baker.
Sally – it’s official – Olga and the e3 are engaged. Hugo and slatsko will be my best man. I am thrilled. I will take on Olga’s name and be known as GonnaGoAnd folkmyself
Tom Brandy?
Our vows will be in puns. JR has promised to officiate it ( won’t that be interesting) and we are with child. Twins. A ranger and a Blackhawk.
Avery and Kane are their names :)
Brandy – what a fine wife you would be…. The Sailors all say…...
Brandy Alexander – former Yankee pitcher and favorite drink of Harry Nilsson.
Brandy PrustNot many know the real Olga the way I do. He or she is smart, clever, funny, and simply adorable.
JR told me “my external sincerest best in wishes for the both of the two of you”
I found some more Brandon Prust T-Shirts on the internet Ms. Salll….
E3 & Olga, mazel tov!
Mannu, gchat
Is it wrong of me to harbor a secret hope that Graves hops over the end boards tonite and takes a swipe at Sidney’s wrist? Or better would be Sidney’s kidneys!

Cory Cross?
Why does it still have “Lockout” as one of the category tags for Carp’s new posts on here?
I don’t know what a manzziere is. I only know about a bro.
Anyone looking for tickets for tonight? Section 227 (corner), Row 5, Seats 20 & 21 (aisle). Email me at wag279@gmail.com.
I know that they have different size cups. You got the A, the B, the C and the D. That’s the biggest. I’ve based my whole life on knowing that the D is the biggest. You’ve got two cups in the front, two loops in the back. I guess that’s about it.
NYDNRangersAs Expected #NYR lines v #Pens, from practice yesterday:Gaborik-Richards-Nash
Pyatt-Stepan-Hagelin
Rupp-Boyle-Ferriero
Bickel-Halpern-Asham
No one will mess with our 4th line. But kowing that every silver lining has a touch of grey, it really is a weak line we’re now forced to use. Sorry, don;t mean to hate on my own squad
yea, rangers fro sure are top heavy. After the first line there isn’t much there. Hope the boys can keep the ship afloat while the captain is gone.
This is SO depressing to me:
http://pixel.nymag.com/imgs/daily/sports/2011/12/06/06_rangersmapleleafs.o.jpg/a_250×375.jpg
Why is his helmet FLYING off? Come on guys. COME ON.
looks like giroy the 6th d man tonight with bickel up front. i like that more then flip flopping them because bickel will be toast back on d vs the pens. he got burned last meeting by joe vitale with kennedy banging home rebound
Zipper says Hobey Gilroy is starting D tonight
Eddie – it’s 5 o’clock somewhere, right?!!
LGR!!!!
Pluck the ice chickens tuh-night. Crosby updates all night long!
4:15 here Headzo. Try Paris, Munich, Rome etc (CET)
need some help
i am traveling next week mon-thurs to french lick indiana for my national sales meeting.
I will need a link to rangers/devils tues night. also does anyone have gamecenter i could use as well.
what you guys recommend as I never watch games on comp unless traveling which isnt often for work
Manny, no page
Oh. It was a picture of this crap!
http://rangers.lohudblogs.com/files/2011/12/sauer-phaneuf1.jpg
Just reminiscing about how we were essentially a chin strap away from the Stanley Cup.
45 more minutes UK!
“Step and Sid had words, etc last game. One of many things to keep an eye on.”
Stepan is not tough.
New nick name for Stepan … Steppy :)
Just kidding, just kidding … we love you Step.
Crosby is not tough either…
Headzo / it’s always 5pm somewhere – bloddys and oatmeal – a real man’s breakfast. Now if I could only find my vicodines I’ll be all set…
Stepan is softer than the inside of a freshly baked bagel. Watch him during any scrum. He buys a ticket – stays as far away as possible and probably prays for it to end and for a immediate line change.
We know Torts is going to see how the top 3 lines are playing in the first 10 minutes or so and then he will either change it up or leave them if going well. We shall see…
an
put a bounty on skid tonight
pens clain zack boychuk off waivers due to the fact the rangers have one more regulation then pens pitt had higher waiver priority. i bet rangers put in a claim as well
None of those prep school to college guys like to fight
Eric, Try this web site. I used it well during the NFL season. http://www.vipbox.tv/
TRADE STEPAN! Too average. Get Taylor Hall! #1 draft pick! 7 more points than Step!..
e3 and Olga, at 25 cents a comment, you guys made me a bundle last night.
Good morning, Sally!
Rob in beantown – werd on that – the preppy boys can’t scrape their hands due to the social mixer at nights end…Buffy and Muffy don’t like mean nasty boys…
Ricardo – you will be guest of honor …
Carp – it was after the flyer game that your cash register went KA-CHING.
We were cracking each other up with our silly puns…I am still laughing at some of them -
Can’t argue w you on that E3. Hell even Gretzky scrummed with Stu Grimson once….once
The Rangers will be out of contention by Tuesday, Eric, so you can miss the game.
Headzo – a little trick I like to use is to move the clock forward to 5pm – eliminates any guilt.
E3 – i’m jealous!
GILROY IS IN!! SEASON SAVED
JamesG – Stepan: during the beginnings of a scrum “please blow the whistle please please please please – I have to pee really bad now”
Keep an eye on that 3rd line left winger. I expect him to be the best player on the ice tonight. We already know that he is the best skater, shooter, and fighter in the team. And unlike Hagelin, doesn’t make dumb plays.
Stevie Minger is still four points away from 100 in his career?
Headzo – my Brutha – jealous and zealous words to use, watch Derek Stepan never get a bruise, a tough guy not he, I say to thee, his hands are made, a softer shade, to score many goals thru the five hole / only not so many this year
by my calculations if cally missed 14 days from today he will miss 7 games including both isle game at garden. any chance we go 3-3-1 in those 7.
home pitt
at tampa
at devils
home isles
home tampa
at boston
home isles
How appropriate that the Penguins are in town tonight, and we have a thread going about baby feedings…
Callahan is not going to score a goal in any of those games he misses. That means he sucks. Can’t wait for people to hit up the Live Charp and say that the Capt. has been invisible…
E3 – you’re a poet & didn’t know it!!!!
Will be interesting to see if JT Miller gets a call in the next 10-14 days, while Callahan is out.
I would love to see 19 year old, JT Miller up here in the big leagues but I seriously doubt he gets to come up even if Callahan is out for a full 14 days.
I would like to see Brandon Mashinter or Kyle Jean.
Would we be better off with Michael Haley playing on the 4th line instead of Stu and his Bickels?
Penguins going to the Vokoun well once too often if you ask me (and nobody did).
7-0 Penguins tonight. Hat tricks from Crosby and Makin, with a goal from MA-Fleury sprinkled in there.
Nash vs. Malkin:

>>God. I miss PRUST
You should be cheering for the players still wearing the Rangers sweater, not missing those playing for the enemy. Prust bolted to Montréal for more money; he’s distant memory to me.
I think this recent Rise of the Planet of the Apes movie has a great, even believable, explanation as to how the Apes managed to rise
Hey JBytes, why don’t you J-BITE ME!
I know, I know. But I love Prust and I really miss what he brought to our team…..as I said last night during the Prust love fest in here….(edited for you)
JBytes I am sure at some point in your life you chased after a girl and her friends were all pissed. They were like, “Look JBytes. She’s moved on. Can’t you.” And there you sat, on the curb, clutching the roses you brought her, let’s say her name is “Brandy Prust.” You sit and cry into your roses and scream, “WHY BRANDY WHY. IS HE THAT MUCH BETTER THAN ME!” Because Brandy ditched you for money. Maybe you tried to date other people. You called up some girls you used to date and saw what they had to offer but it just wasn’t the same. Down the road, sure, you found another girl and she was fine for the time being. But there. Deep in your heart, you knew that Brandy Prust had been the one for you. And you know that it could have worked if she had just believed a bit. Maybe trusted you. Maybe gone down that road with you. But she didn’t. And you have to deal. Wounds don’t heal overnight. It takes time. Even healing doesn’t mean you forget or stop loving. You can’t replace that part of your heart…
You know that Hobey Baker is not an insignificant award…it is highly respected in collegiate circles. I would think that it might be interesting to track back ( by some industrious soul) and get a read on just how many Hobey Baker award winners have ever played for Rangers.
Oh, and lest I forget…...let’s see whether they put him back on left D instead of his natural right side, which is what they did with him back a while ago, with his intermittent insertions.
I recall following his activity with the Lightning at his natural RW position and he was quite effective, especially on the attack. I was surprised when he was traded to Ottawa, and he again was operating mostly out of left D, with the Sens, and relatively insignificant.
I hope Callahan heals in time to throw out the first pitch at next year’s NYC Superbowl
Malkin would never jump Nash like that if Nash had Prust on his team to back him up!
Email, Carp
anyone interested in a pair of tickets for tonight
they are bar stool seats and are 50 per tix. my friend scott has to work late in these are his tickets.
let me know
email me at baum27@aol.com or text me 516-749-3110
If our third line scores tonight, play lotto – they will have their hands full – big test for line 3 and the law firm of McDonough and Girardi. Boyle has to get under Malkinstein’s skin like last season. Rupp has to slide down the wall and slam Neal more than once.
That leaves Step-on-it, Pie-hat, and Haggles against Tangradi-Cindy-Dupuis – hold that scoreless and hope our #1 line can net a couple.
keep the motion pp and we will see it click.
Hobey Baker/Ranger list, Fran:

audy marcheusett and erixon making debut tonight for columbus
What in the world is a bar stool seat?
section 210 last row looks down over ice. has a railing you could lean on keep drinks but instead of seat back cushion its a bar stool. no one behind you
Speaking of tickets, a friend of mine is looking for tickets to the 4/3/2013 Rangers game as a gift to her fiancè. Think it’s also against the Pens.
Thanks Manny for making my day with your post @1:18 – I ‘m still cracking up over it. I think we all could relate at some point looking back. You get my vote for post of the day.
Thanks 27NYR!
I hope Manny has a wardrobe mishap when he walks to the podium to accept his award
Hank or Biron tonight? May have missed it above but did they say who’s between the pipes?
No way Biron starts against the Pens
I would first have to have a wardrobe with which to have a malfunction…
Guess I was wrong since

I think this recent Rise of the Planet of the Apes movie has a great, even believable, explanation as to how the Apes managed to rise
THIS is my vote for post of the day. But Manny’s post at 1:18 is my vote for yesterday.
Rise of the Planet of the Apes, or as I like to call it COPS VS APES, is the best movie of the millennium.
eric, how do you like the bar stool seats? The view looks decent. Do people crowd your space?
Manny > Jerry Springer
“You know that Hobey Baker is not an insignificant award…it is highly respected in collegiate circles.”
Its the MOST significant individual award. It’s the MVP award, like the Heisman or Naismith awards. Diminished somewhat by the fact that the calibur of player who plays college hockey is on average relatively lower than in college basketball or football, due to the prevalence of junior leagues.
lundqvist is playing tonight.
I sat in something like bar stool seats seeing a Rangers/Sabres game in Buffalo a four years ago (Rangers won in the skills competition at the end). It was a decent view and easy access to the beer stand. If the one at MSG is anything like the one in Buffalo I would recommend it
NYP_BrooksieAqapppppp*************************
So should we start worrying about Brooksie yet?
really glad Callahan’s injury wasn’t more severe but I will not be surprised if he misses more than 10-14 days. those shoulder injuries are tricky and it would be a bad idea to rush back.
just the fact it is not worst case scenario is good case scenario. the boys will find a way. they will gell without him. they did the last time.
apples and oranges. team was deeper a year ago.
that it was.
My screen name was changed in Nash’s honor recently, but, if you remember had “depthisneeded” in between.
It’s really evident when you watch at MSG. And, don’t get me started. It was some bad luck, like Chereponov, Sauer, etc. but our cupboard is relatively bare. We could use a GM that is able to draft better and develop players better. I’ll take some NHL ready guys like Henrique, Josephson, etc,. etc.
Kenny spoke with Jim Cerny this morning: notes the Ferriero is looking forward to playing against the organization that traded him to the Blueshirts. Zel Zotto has been on the ice for 8 of the last 9 Rangers goals.
Can he get some respect?
look, I’m no fan of Sather. has he drafted poorly where offense is concerned? absolutely. team hasn’t produced a star at forward in an absurdly long time – maybe Kreider is that, maybe not. Miller could be, who knows. your point about developing talent is key, though. I’m not sure where the problem lies speicifically, but one wonders how many of these draft picks are the result of crappy talent evaluation and how many have been derailed because of the Rangers inability to develop exceptional top 6 forwards.
to be completely fair, this team now has a lot of money tied up in a handful of players so the bench is going to be even shorter than normal. but yeah, you have to go way back. I love Callahan but is he a superstar? No. then you’re going back to 1995 and Marc Savard, a guy who had a few nice seasons all of which came with other teams (after the Rangers traded him for Jan Hlavac and Jamie Lundmark).
clive
the bar stool seats are not mine. they are my friends who i have sat with. good view. no body behind you. my pair is in def zone row 8.
does anyone else miss Morton Downeys Jr.’s old show?
We need a new post: Capitals think Wellman is the answer. News at 11.
Ha! They got him from the Panthers. Man. Who thought the Capitals would be picking up scraps from the Panthers?
At least Wellman can always tell his grandkids that he was once traded for the one and only Erik Christensen…
At least Wellman can always tell his grandchildren that he was once traded for the one and only Erik Christensen…
So guys,
How are we going to Krog-this-one-up tonight?
Agreed, Lloyd. The draft/player development issue is highlighted because of the top heavy salary structure. A ‘normal’ team with some good younger players can deal with a $23-27M first line because they have a bunc of restricteds that cost under $1m and play well. Here, because of a not-so-great system because of a not-so-good-GM that got really lucky he bailed his butt out by the Gomez to Montreal deal (which I still believe in my heart of hearts he wasn’t smart enough to do but was advised to do so), we don’t have that luxury.
It is blaring watching guys like Rupp on the 3rd line. A good GM has that spot filled by a lesser priced kid.
I am killing the pre-game time by visiting some Penguins blogs and spreading some cheer.
it works for me.
good to give Gilroy a chance… emminger, bickel, or gillroy probably not much of a difference.
gilroy has more upside offensively but of course his d zone issues may be a problem.
if gilroy looks horrible, sit him, no big deal..
nead cally and the kreider he can be back asap.
Any good links, tomb?
Manny, did you put your SELL OUT shirt on yet?
Win one for the Gipper!
