In case you missed it, Rick Nash will skate in warmups, as will Chris Kreider. Then a decision will be made. Which, to me, says you can eliminate “concussion” from the speculation.
Henrik Lundqvist starts in goal.
John Tortorella:

NYDNRangersThe Garden has added pretzels to the press box offerings. Everybody wins***************
Are you thirsty, Carp?
No Cigar Manny
NYDN needs better sources. Have had pretzels since before the renovations, and for decades, in the press room.
Old bar trick. Free pretzels.
What with theses idiot sources now-a-days anyway?
Major additions to the Blackhawks since last year:
Sheldon Brookbank
Michal Rozsival
Can’t be Brookbank that’s making such a difference, right?
stevezipayTorts says it was a decision by Hartford to send Kreider back to NHL. “I’m glad he got in a game; he needs to play.”*******************************
Whoah. The Kreider is so bad that Hartford, The Whale, didn’t want him!? Great. This is like Elaine promoting the mail guy…....
So you’ve been thirsty for a while, Carp?
You mean concussed dudes don’t skate warm ups? Hello from very snowy newburyportmass. My cousin is putting on rangers caps instead of bees jets. Good dude.
You know they ain’t offering free beer with those pretzels
That’s why it’s a bar trick
OLD TIME HOCKEY, Cooscoos. Bar Trick are so OLD TIME HOCKEY.
Stay thirsty my friend
Sounds like Torts was a in friendly mood today, huh, Carp?
yeah, he’s back.
Free beer and pretzels at my house. Beck’s too.
His act is getting old. Press are just trying to make a living, you know, feed the family.
CTWhaleWHALE GOAL: Steve Eminger scores on a great pass from Brandon Segal to tie the game at 2 #bleedgreen********************
Thank God the Whale didn’t unilaterally decide to send Mrs. Eminger back up. Tie Game.
Been to 3 cap games this year, just brutal. Better recently but a regulation win is not too much toast for. Thought Ribero would be better.
Actually, that’s two games in a row that Segal either won it or helped tie it up. Too bad we let that guy get away….
Toast or to ask either way
CTWhaleWHALE GOAL: Brandon Mashinter scores to put the Whale on top 3-2 #bleedgreen***********
And Monster Mashinter puts the Whale in the lead. Looks like our little guys have a bit of life in them!
Rangers-Black Hawks Finals… Oooooh!
I think I just wet ‘em…
Manny -I guess hockey day in America includes Hartford?
Hugo, you related to Olga??
Well, Hartford is the Capital of the Nutmeg state. Also, the first state to sign the Constitution. Thus the other name. “The Constitution State”
Sorry. I like to root for
The WolfpackThe Whaleso!!! I’m to believe that tortarella convinced Sather that Kreider needed to go down to hartford to work on his game, especially his defence part of his game. Than in 1 game played down in hartford they tell the ranger brass that he is ready for the NHL, WTF is going on in rangerland.
No, I’m related to Hugo, though.
tommy, without making too much of the syntax, I think the point was, they called Hartford and asked who is the best forward for recall, especially if they need a skill guy to maybe play top six minutes, and they said Kreider. That’s pretty simple and sensible to me. Who were they going to say? Segal? Newbury?
Any relation to Woodja?
ok, I get it, thanx carp.
Olga , I know I guy Ydontyago, a cousin maybe??
The whole family posts here on occasion. Except Mother. She’s banned for life.
speaking of families, wonder if Uncle Glennie or Captain Clutch will be around at all this year.
Carp, ya think Lamoriello let’s the coach at Albany decide who’s coming up?
Slatsko shows up often.
In Segal’s defense he’s winning games left and right down there.
Docs got the Rudy G comb-over going on!
IManny = Segal’s agent.
I’m partial to slatsko. Although all folkyourselves make cogent points
Could you imagine the tone of this place if we didn’t win that cup In 94??? We almost be like Jet fans.
The Seagull! You can Chekhov that one.
Milbury, Roenick, Jones and Duguay are all at Wollman Rink right now?
One accident and almost the entire world’s hockey knowledge could be lost. Who is insuring that risk?
where is that Moscow meteor when you need it?
Who’s protecting the young females?
Haha. I don’t even like Segal. I am talking him up though. He’s a lot like Newbury in my mind.
AFLAK. Because none of them has ever picked up a bill.
IManny, what’s not to like?
A sportswriter once said about Phil Rizzuto: “He can go to his left, he can go to his right, but in 20 years I’ve never seen him go to his pocket.”
I didn’t mean I specifically don’t like him. I’m just not into him being up here over Ferrari or Thomas.
I really hope tonight we don’t Crap’d….and no, that was not a typo…different from being carped
Powe not on the ice for warm ups… bickel is
scratch that I’m just blind… or he came out late
Keith Sweat never had to warm up.
If Nash is good enough to tie his skates, put him out there.
Love Keith Sweat!
