wins are quiet
You what I’m sayin?
Did the fourth line see any ice after allowing that goal?
I be dropping know – you know?
what goal did the fourth line allow?
I am here to please.
oh, you mean because bickel took a penalty?
4th line did not play much – like D.r Halpern on 3rd line
Gees – if da boys go on a five game winning streak, the blog will go empty. I guess we all DO love to complain. Like in the Army, if ywe weren’t complaining it gets boring.
Four and four, I want more, herb score, on the floor, shut the door, on tour, is your, be a boor and boar, at the core, George for…......man
Boyeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Stralman and Gilly looked good
second line played great – good cycles and extra jam
Pie-hat may be ‘deliberate’ but plays the wall nice and goes right to the crease and stays there
Which George Foreman? I think there are a dozen of them. George says he named them all George so that when he called, they’d all show up at once so he didn’t have to talk to them individually.
I be round making sound homeward bound lost and found
Boyeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Stranger – it was interesting to see someone finally plant himself in front the net. I agree.
every ranger win hits Carp in the pocket big time!
I hope that’s not considered dropping something in the suggestion box. :-)
I’m hypocriting myself.
Kooz – George V, is it five, hand jive, be alive, swan dive, marry my wives,
I be Mormon, stormin Norman, I’m a doorman
Open wide, it’s high tide, down the slide, watch me glide
Boyeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Oh, no. I think I just hypocrited myself!
E3 – Ever think about getting one of those small cabins out in the woods like Thoreau and put music to the poetry?
S. Nation – on last thread. I said. I be psychic, feeling sick, pick and kick
Centerfield, wheel and deal, golden seal,
Boyeeeeeee
Either Thoreau or Ted Kaczynski.
I guess after that penalty that lead to the goal. I don’t remember seeing them late.
I will probably watch the game again tomorrow during the super bowel
My man kooz, playin the blues, making news, J Crews, payin dues
Emerson wrote, many a note, read nature, birds and bees, hear me please, blended knees
Bertha don’t ya come round here anymore…
Boyeeeeeeee
Why am I disinterested in this Super Bowl? Is it because of all the phony hoopla, rap singers, commercials, and coverage from noon to eleven?
Want to hear funny Ted K. Story?
lmao the super bowel. I have a super bowel! I can drop a Boyler on command!
My throne is the Super Bowl
Werd tiki – pooper scooper super duper
taking the Browns to the super bowl?
Heave the Havana
Im more excited about
breastfeedingfeeding a baby and cleaning her poopie diapers next Saturday than the super bowel!Launch the Hindenburg
Ted K story would probably crack me up. The guy was a blast.
Drop a deuce
You know people who track animals by feeling and smelling their scat? What kind of job is that?
Drop a steaming Boyler
Richards = Disappointment (Major).... If only coaches, scouts, GM’s and anyone else involved in the decision making process didn’t feel they had their reputations to protect….. Bait would be cut much shorter.
Kooz – as the FBI began to zero in on Berkeley. The math department was all a flutter as it was clear it was one of them. Quite a few whispers but no one exactly sure who it was…. When the y arrested Ted, Department Chair says “thank god …....it’s Ted”
I can’t think of one other coach in all of sports who consistently gets away with saying the things that Torts does and the way that he says them. Even in college. Maybe Bobby Knight, but it all caught up with him.
Ted K took the road less traveled
Bill Parcells, Bobby Knight, George Patton,
Torts is from the tough (carcillo) love school
Torts has a tiny pee pee
LOL I just posted something about Kennedy going off that Bridge in Mass., and it’s awaiting moderation because I used the term Chappaquiddik. (dropped the ‘c’ this time, so it should work. :-)
Geeesh, I’ve been kinda avoiding this part of Carp’s blog lately because of vulture like mentality wallowing in the negativity.
That’s not trying to say people can’t post what they wanna, when they wanna and put whatever slant on that post they wanna, but how interesting is it that after the Rangers win and deserve that win, the traffic in here (and similar places) drops so drastically…
Humans are a strange breed!!!!!
LOL “the road less traveled.” And it’s made all the difference! Yogi Berra said something similar, “If you come to a fork in the road, take it.”
Jim – it is strange. Agreed. Maybe Saturday night and only the real Ranger fans stayed home?
Pee Pee and “the steaming boiler,” no problem, but don’t mention a city in Massachusetts!”
Jim – I fell of the ledge but with cat like reflexes – fell to the floor – using gravity as a blanket
Landed unharmed.
They dragged the professor’s 10×12 cabin into the courtroom so the jury could see it. I guess living in that cabin to the prosecutors made him more dangerous than sending the bombs.
That cabin was tiny.
Indeed!!!!
Smart dude. But always whacked
I know a girl who is a Princess from a very small country. They’re having the whole country carpeted this weekend.
I don’t think Ted had a carpet. Or a carport.
I was bashing stepan left right and left, but predicted a breakout game. Called goals by hags and step. Feel so much better. Lets hope.
Kooz – it wasn’t your typical B&B
Ted should have sent everyone a Whitman’s Sampler Box instead of bombs and no one would have complained. He could diabetes them to death.
And I can vouch for those predictions. How come you never see psychics at the racetrack?
Ted was maybe a little angry.
Kooz – want me to test my powers with you? Ready?
Remember the “eyewitness” drawing of him in a hoodie that looked nothing like him?
Oh yes – I knew people that worked with him. Helllllllllo crazy
His bro ratted him out
Pick a number…....and double it….....add ten….....
Still here?
The Uber Bomber – didn’t he play first base for the Reds?
wait. I just got a beer.
Yay! Didn’t see the whole game…but go Nash! And take that Tampa…..LGR!
Ted Kluszewsi! Couldn’t fit his arms in the uniform.
The hoodie did not take off like Travon Martin’s
Tell me if you’ve added ten…. After that divide it by 2….....
I think I know that number thing, E3. Stop me before I add again.
Then subtract your original number….....
You are at 5
From 66 – 76 was a great time for baseball
Ok, I got it
the answer is 3.14?
Sy kicks are us
5
Horace Clarke – maybe the best baseball player ever.
Divide Steps TOI by Artie Pts per minute then multiply Rupp’s waist size add Richards monthly pay check, subtract Bickel penalty minutes…
I see dead people
I paid 3.14 for a pie last Thursday.
Celerino Sanchez?
Add Crosby’s average whine per game and you have infinity
you and the mortician
March 14 at 1:59 pm
supposedly slew foot Cindy had another accidental trip tonite against the Debs
I put that into my calculator, Strange, and it said that I was so waaaay over the cap, they want me to return the cap.

Andy Capp?
Steve Hamilton makes Mariano look like a little leaguer
only able to watch 3rd period
but kept up via twitter
(not many comments from you Carp. c’mon, i’m following ya!!
:-)
looked good from what i saw. TB had us caught in our
zone a bit but didn’t seem like we were in
Chaos Mode
what was Gabby’s penalty?
crosscheck? saw TB guy go down at
side of net but wasn’t sure if Gabby did
something or what…
bummer
that Richards missed that open net
holding the stick too tight?
well,
hoping that this carries over for game against
devils.
i imagine they’ll be in a bad mood after saturday’s loss
also
hoping that we don’t do the usual
send up the boards play in our zone
which always finds a dev at the pt
waiting for the “pass”
ugh!!!
Cap Anson?
How did Crosby every grow up playing hockey and was never checked? He takes it as a personal offense. Talk about growing up sheltered, gees.
Frritz Peterson was a switch hitter?
Greatest 3rd baseman ever? Brooks Robinson, mike Schmidt, Jerry Kenny.
Gabby needs to x check the bak of his head like he did tonite
E3 – Chris Christie on SNL repeat – thank god for big screen TVs
Watching it right now on tampon replay
The Ides of March. Whoa! Ave, Caesar, morituri te salutamus.
love the refs swallowing whistles tonite – game had some open ice and some flow – Torts must have been beside himself
What is over/ under on how many times chris Christie opens the fridge in one day?
e tu, Coos?
For E3 is an honorable man
Someone said the Christie really isn’t fat, he just has a lot of water retention. I think it was a hurricane joke.
He needs to make a list of people over the age of 50 who weigh over 300 lbs.

This one goes to 11!
They pretty much got a good game out of everyone there tonight. I expect to see a lot more of the same. These guys have had a tough start, they have played some good teams. I am sure that Torts will get the best out of what he’s got. The defense he’s got is real good, and what I saw tonight from his third and forth lines. It looked good.
for what we are playing the tin man (rupp) and ass-ham would rather have prust for sure. but now he is dead to me. someone take him fishing in Lake Tahoe.
it was the winter of our discontent

New post it seems
Peace out
The Lightning did not present much of a forecheck and the Rangers were able to clear their zone easily. Also, they did not look like they like to muck along the boards in either zone. They are a score off the rush or PP team. Stamkos is ridiculous with that shot. The boys had some jump tonight. I actually thought Nash had a bad game. Until that beaut of a goal.
