Somehow I posted this in the Go Time blog from last night.
Sioux-per-man
Aloha Carp still stuck on the islands. No noon time lunch for me.
We seem to be on the recieving end of the Bettman’s points. Any thought on why the Rangers seem to come out flat against the easier part of the schedule?
Hedberg
How many lining up to claim knockout Rickie DP? Flyers hopefully. Lol
Comnsnse
Exactly why are DiPietro’s problems funny?
This young man had a tremendous resume’ coming into the draft and would have been a 1st. rounder for many teams.
Whereas Lundqvist was a 7th. round “blind squirrel” pick who developed into a very good goalie when apparently he wasn’t highly rated by others.
The moral is no one can predict the future beyond what is seen in the present.
How does this then hold the Islanders accountable for selecting DiPietro and ragging on their drafts?
Try going back only a decade and seeing who was selected by the Ranger geniuses and who might have been selected by a better GM?
Hedberg
It’s about his contract not the draft genuis. And about his tough guy routine and getting knocked the blank out by a ice chicken.
Mister D
How does this then hold the Islanders accountable for selecting DiPietro and ragging on their drafts?
You’re missing something here, buddy.
Manny
stevezipay “@smitchcd: #CBJ C Artem Anisimov was released from hospital today. Scheduled to fly to Columbus this afternoon.” Terrific news
Season over. Unless he comes back. Then season not over.
Manny
And no update on Del Zaster. It’s a bit ludicrous. Don’t they know that we can’t keep it together and have to know this information IMMEDIATELY?
Lloyd Braun
not exactly immediate when the guy was conceivably injured 10 days ago
Manny
Even if Nash is out the season won’t be over. We still have to play all those games.
Lloyd Braun
also, I’ve watched a replay of the Lucic hit on Nash a bunch of times and I’m no longer convinced it was a suspendable hit. Nash definitely banged his head into the glass though and he looked a bit odd for the rest of that shift.
Manny
Yea I mean, I was only kidding. It’s annoying to not know the information but I get why they do it. The organization has to do what they have to do.
Fat Guy Duberstein
did somebody think to call Nash’s parents? Or even MDZ’s parents?
Doodie Machetto
SP, I love being right, but I don’t understand what you are saying I was right about.
Doodie Machetto
::slaps money down on table:: I’m out.
eric
if it was groin or shoulder they would speculate I believe. no comment from team means head injury
Lloyd…didn’t Lucic leave his feet? How was that not a major penalty for boarding in the very least?
Lloyd Braun
he comes off the ground slightly as he’s finishing the check against Nash. the problem with the hit is whether he purposely brought his arms up at the end of the check to push Nash’s head into the glass, but it’s worth nothing that Nash was actually bent at the waist when Lucic initiated the check.
Evrockriser
Anyone notice how Anderson’s exact injury was disclosed before the game was even over? All the Rangers are doing is pissing their fans off with their “undisclosed” injuries almost a week removed from having them.
tommyG
I thought maybe Nash re-injured his groin or shoulder from when he played in europe during the lockout but now I am starting to be concerned that it’s a concussion. Anyway you slice it if Nash is out for a lengthy period of time the rangers are done as far as i am concerned.
It is a REALLY long time to have the flu. Even the blu-flu.
Lloyd Braun
article doesn’t say which shoulder, though
Manny
It could be. That shoulder injury was pretty serious. I think he separated it. That is a good point, Tommy. Maybe there is some agreement we don’t know about where they don’t want players to talk about injuries suffered during the Lockout.
NYR_FAN
Maybe they don’t know what’s wrong with him? Maybe he won’t he tell them?
tommyG
HAHA!!!!, well at least some ranger fans still have a sense of humor.
NYR_FAN
Maybe he won’t he tell them?
Manny
MAYBE NASH DOESNT EXIST!
tommyG
Anyway, so this poster who calls him self Comnsnse, Who carp calls nonsense (I like that better by the way) who claims to be a ranger fan. Who calls the rangers “rags” and seems to get a little defensive when talking about the islanders in a negative but reality way, defends the islanders as best he can, really. There isn’t a ranger fan I know who calls the rangers “rags” and does nothing on here but defends the islanders. I have news for this guy. he is nothing but a closet islander fan, congradulations. Ranger fans could give a rats @ about the islanders.
tommyG
Oh yea, I have a bridge to sell ya Comnsnse, right to brooklyn.
Lloyd Braun
so no one knows which shoulder Nash injured during the lockout
Eric
Prust was on hockey night in Canada radio just now on xm and said he expects a diff ranger team tom from Tuesday.
Yes prust it will be a team worse of then 4 days earlier. No del zaster or asham on top of no nash.
tommyG
Eric, that’s called being politically correct. prust is just feeling good because they won the other night, means nothing.
Lloyd Braun
you really think this Ranger team is at the point of bemoaning a night without Arron Asham in the lineup
wow
tommyG
lloyd, I must say, I researched and can’t find one article that mentions which shoulder Nash injured.
Bickel Boyle and Mashinter is the worst line the Rangers have put on the ice in about 15 years
tommyG
Manny, the way this year has played out so far it wouldn’t surprise me if the rangers won in montreal saturday. Yea, I said it, win in montreal, a place the rangers never seem to play well and win. This is not a regular season by any means as we are use to so anything could happen I imagine.
Mister D
Anyone notice how Anderson’s exact injury was disclosed before the game was even over? All the Rangers are doing is pissing their fans off with their “undisclosed” injuries almost a week removed from having them.
That totally matters in the big picture, the small picture and every sized picture in between.
Lloyd Braun
and for the record Anderson is a total weasel for being face down on the ice with a sprained ankle
Latona
Rangers disclosed Powe’s injury in a very timely manner, don’t forget. Still don’t know why Nash’s issue is confidential, however.
Latona
Yeah, really, Lloyd. He was acting like one of those concrete highway barriers fell on his leg (I knew a guy who suffered such a fate).
Salty
There’s no value in disclosing.
There’s no value in disclosing.

STOP CRYING
STOP CRYING

It doesn’t matter what the reason is that he’s not playing. He’s not playing.
This team needs to learn to survive without him. He was not brought in to carry this team. I’m glad he’s taking the proper time to heal from whatever ails him. I say take another week after that just to be sure. This team does not even deserve him right now, they have enough to figure out on their own.
New York Ranger fans disgust me on so many damn levels it’s nauseating.
STOP CRYING.
Lloyd Braun
Latona,
Only two reasons I can come up with:
1) Nash hurt his shoulder/knee/fingernail and they don’t want opposing players to know about it
2) Nash potentially played two games with a concussion
Jeff in South Dakota
It’s only a flesh wound.
Lloyd Braun
Salty,
Thanks for the repetition, I didn’t understand your viewpoint until it was repeated half-a-dozen times. Plus it’s refreshing whenever someone else shows up at a discussion board and demands people to, well, stop having discussions.
And if you think this team has a snowball’s chance in hell of doing anything with Nash, I’ve got 8 years-worth of a total bust goalie’s contract to sell you
Mister D
Its (1), Lloyd. I feel very confident its (1) because (1) is completely logical.
Lloyd Braun
without
Mister D
Well, its (1) assuming that includes concussion as a possibility along with shoulder and groin and fingernail. There’s value in the opposition not knowing what’s ailing you.
Lloyd Braun
if he’s got a concussion and you don’t disclose it you’re actually harming the player more than helping him
Manny
I hope so, Tommy!
Well put The Doctor/Salty. It doesn’t actually matter.
Lloyd – agreed. The way he reacted (which resulted in our disallowed goal, #2 of the game) made me think he tore an MCL/ACL or some other medical term.
Latona’s right. Powe’s was revealed immediately. Most injuries are. Except when a guy is “banged up.” With Asham it makes sense because you don’t want it known your agitator/goon can’t play his role because his wrist hurts.
Lloyd Braun
the way he reacted made me think he was totally faking an injury which still wouldn’t really surprise me

The object in all sports, every sport, often unspoken because of its (un-American?) Machiavellian implications, is to definitively ascertain your opponent’s weakness(es) and exploit them. Can anyone think of a sport where this is not the case? This undeniable maxim is one main reason athletes and teams are as tight lipped as they can be about releasing free “intelligence” to the enemy.
Mister D
if he’s got a concussion and you don’t disclose it you’re actually harming the player more than helping him
If you don’t disclose it to who? The people who need to know (Nash, team, doctors) undoubtedly know.

really think about that. and the ndelzaster while people endlessly whine how bad mdz is.. what is it…
the rangers can win with what they have if they play hard and smart.
the Nash injury is another story.. again in the short term they can win without him if they play there game…the no info on his injury leads people to believe the worse….
eric
whos whining. i was just stating i would rather have del zaster ( who if you know me i hate) and asham over eminger and bickel.
the way the team is your right they still suck at the moment no matter whos playing

Nash’s new wife: “Ricky, you don’t need that dangerous job. Sure, you left school at 15, but now you know your way around New York and you could get one of those taxicab driver thingies.”
Hedberg, just read you hilarious and not too bright comment on the DP ragging.
So to be clear he should be dumped on because someone decided to pay him a lot of money? Every one who has told an employer NOT to pay them so much raise your hand!
Can you possibly be more dense?
And as for the “tough guy” nonsense,did you ever watch Billy Smith play….......and complain?
Comnsnse
Fish, you agree with the less than brilliant rationale and comments about DP?
How about facts instead of internet snickers! Maybe you might like to discuss Jessiman in terms of busts? McIllrath, or better still do a little work and print the Ranger drafts since 2000 ( when they weren’t traded away)and who they missed out on ,start with Giroux!
i can’t believe I still have this foot-high pile of work to do and I’m jerking around trying to figure this thing out … but I might have fixed it. So somebody try it. Dammit.

Missed the Charp again. Throwing an ofer on the Charps so far this year. Damn Work.
Carp. After reading your re-cap from last nights game (which is dead-on – especially #’s 3,12& 13) I’m don’t we as a group can be confident that this team will make the playoffs. I’m having some serious doubts.
Papa, not to belabor the point, but pretty much everybody on the roster has been worse than what is expected of them, the power play stinks, they’ve lost two of those breakaway contest things, and yet they’re over .500 and in the top eight.
I can’t imagine it will get worse than this … assuming no major injuries.
now please tell me you guys were joking with all this talk about boycotting the blog and that you really weren’t mad at me or thinking I did something like that on purpose.
iManny
Obviously, Carp. If this place wasn’t a large part of my life I would go crazy in real life! No boycotts. We all know the only scab around here is Ilb.

Nash can’t play because his uniform got stolen. True story.

He did play at least one game after the hit, which tells me it’s most likely not a re-injured shoulder. That, they would have had Xrayed, though it could be sore, but why not say that? If it were the flu, they would say it. Pointing more and more to headaches.

stevezipay “@smitchcd: #CBJ C Artem Anisimov was released from hospital today. Scheduled to fly to Columbus this afternoon.” Terrific newsVaguely remember something about the Isles GM at that time trading away somebody to pick DiPi at #1 too…
Man … http://capgeek.com/leaders/?type=LENGTH&position=G&limit=25
LMGO, DiP.
That list makes me beyond Proud. Hank is the best player locked up long term.
I certainly would never rag on the Islanders’ drafts. Chara, Luongo, Bertuzzi all became All-Star calibre players, for example.
and yet again no Nash on Saturday
No Nash
nash will end up missing a month and the rangers will still say day to day. concussion anyone?
look regardless of whether he’s got a concussion or not, this whole thing has been extremely stupid and unnecessary. “protecting the player” my ass.
There’s no value in disclosing.
Nash is done for the season. No season.
Season over. Unless he comes back. Then season not over.
And no update on Del Zaster. It’s a bit ludicrous. Don’t they know that we can’t keep it together and have to know this information IMMEDIATELY?
not exactly immediate when the guy was conceivably injured 10 days ago
Even if Nash is out the season won’t be over. We still have to play all those games.
also, I’ve watched a replay of the Lucic hit on Nash a bunch of times and I’m no longer convinced it was a suspendable hit. Nash definitely banged his head into the glass though and he looked a bit odd for the rest of that shift.
Yea I mean, I was only kidding. It’s annoying to not know the information but I get why they do it. The organization has to do what they have to do.
did somebody think to call Nash’s parents? Or even MDZ’s parents?
SP, I love being right, but I don’t understand what you are saying I was right about.
::slaps money down on table:: I’m out.
if it was groin or shoulder they would speculate I believe. no comment from team means head injury
thought some or all of you would dig this, especially if you still can make it your reality:
http://www.neverendingvoyage.com/how-we-fund-our-permanent-travels/
Lloyd…didn’t Lucic leave his feet? How was that not a major penalty for boarding in the very least?
he comes off the ground slightly as he’s finishing the check against Nash. the problem with the hit is whether he purposely brought his arms up at the end of the check to push Nash’s head into the glass, but it’s worth nothing that Nash was actually bent at the waist when Lucic initiated the check.
Anyone notice how Anderson’s exact injury was disclosed before the game was even over? All the Rangers are doing is pissing their fans off with their “undisclosed” injuries almost a week removed from having them.
I thought maybe Nash re-injured his groin or shoulder from when he played in europe during the lockout but now I am starting to be concerned that it’s a concussion. Anyway you slice it if Nash is out for a lengthy period of time the rangers are done as far as i am concerned.
which shoulder did Nash injure whole overseas?
while
http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/2012/09/28/nash-suffers-a-shoulder-injury/
here you go LLoyd
It is a REALLY long time to have the flu. Even the blu-flu.
article doesn’t say which shoulder, though
It could be. That shoulder injury was pretty serious. I think he separated it. That is a good point, Tommy. Maybe there is some agreement we don’t know about where they don’t want players to talk about injuries suffered during the Lockout.
Maybe they don’t know what’s wrong with him? Maybe he won’t he tell them?
HAHA!!!!, well at least some ranger fans still have a sense of humor.
Maybe he won’t
hetell them?MAYBE NASH DOESNT EXIST!
Anyway, so this poster who calls him self Comnsnse, Who carp calls nonsense (I like that better by the way) who claims to be a ranger fan. Who calls the rangers “rags” and seems to get a little defensive when talking about the islanders in a negative but reality way, defends the islanders as best he can, really. There isn’t a ranger fan I know who calls the rangers “rags” and does nothing on here but defends the islanders. I have news for this guy. he is nothing but a closet islander fan, congradulations. Ranger fans could give a rats
@about the islanders.Oh yea, I have a bridge to sell ya Comnsnse, right to brooklyn.
so no one knows which shoulder Nash injured during the lockout
Prust was on hockey night in Canada radio just now on xm and said he expects a diff ranger team tom from Tuesday.
Yes prust it will be a team worse of then 4 days earlier. No del zaster or asham on top of no nash.
Eric, that’s called being politically correct. prust is just feeling good because they won the other night, means nothing.
you really think this Ranger team is at the point of bemoaning a night without Arron Asham in the lineup
wow
lloyd, I must say, I researched and can’t find one article that mentions which shoulder Nash injured.
Did Eric just say Del Zotto not playing made the team worse?
hehe
The lineup for Saturday night is going to be epically awesome.
Hagelin-Stepan-Gaborik
Callahan-Richards-Pyatt
Miller-Halpern-The Kreider
Bickel-Boyle-Mashinter
Staal-Girardi
McBust-Strahlman
Eminger-Gilroy
Biron
Bickel Boyle and Mashinter is the worst line the Rangers have put on the ice in about 15 years
Manny, the way this year has played out so far it wouldn’t surprise me if the rangers won in montreal saturday. Yea, I said it, win in montreal, a place the rangers never seem to play well and win. This is not a regular season by any means as we are use to so anything could happen I imagine.
Anyone notice how Anderson’s exact injury was disclosed before the game was even over? All the Rangers are doing is pissing their fans off with their “undisclosed” injuries almost a week removed from having them.
That totally matters in the big picture, the small picture and every sized picture in between.
and for the record Anderson is a total weasel for being face down on the ice with a sprained ankle
Rangers disclosed Powe’s injury in a very timely manner, don’t forget. Still don’t know why Nash’s issue is confidential, however.
Yeah, really, Lloyd. He was acting like one of those concrete highway barriers fell on his leg (I knew a guy who suffered such a fate).
There’s no value in disclosing.
There’s no value in disclosing.
There’s no value in disclosing.
There’s no value in disclosing.
STOP CRYING

It doesn’t matter what the reason is that he’s not playing. He’s not playing.
This team needs to learn to survive without him. He was not brought in to carry this team. I’m glad he’s taking the proper time to heal from whatever ails him. I say take another week after that just to be sure. This team does not even deserve him right now, they have enough to figure out on their own.
New York Ranger fans disgust me on so many damn levels it’s nauseating.
STOP CRYING.
Latona,
Only two reasons I can come up with:
1) Nash hurt his shoulder/knee/fingernail and they don’t want opposing players to know about it
2) Nash potentially played two games with a concussion
It’s only a flesh wound.
Salty,
Thanks for the repetition, I didn’t understand your viewpoint until it was repeated half-a-dozen times. Plus it’s refreshing whenever someone else shows up at a discussion board and demands people to, well, stop having discussions.
And if you think this team has a snowball’s chance in hell of doing anything with Nash, I’ve got 8 years-worth of a total bust goalie’s contract to sell you
Its (1), Lloyd. I feel very confident its (1) because (1) is completely logical.
without
Well, its (1) assuming that includes concussion as a possibility along with shoulder and groin and fingernail. There’s value in the opposition not knowing what’s ailing you.
if he’s got a concussion and you don’t disclose it you’re actually harming the player more than helping him
I hope so, Tommy!
Well put The Doctor/Salty. It doesn’t actually matter.
Lloyd – agreed. The way he reacted (which resulted in our disallowed goal, #2 of the game) made me think he tore an MCL/ACL or some other medical term.
Latona’s right. Powe’s was revealed immediately. Most injuries are. Except when a guy is “banged up.” With Asham it makes sense because you don’t want it known your agitator/goon can’t play his role because his wrist hurts.
the way he reacted made me think he was totally faking an injury which still wouldn’t really surprise me
Discuss all you want…just

Carp – I know what you did. I just want you to know that. I know what you did. I want to blame Ilb for being a SCAB but I don’t think I can.
You win this time. But we will rise again. You cannot crush our Union. It’s too strong.
McIlrath just tweeted a picture of him and Christian Thomas. Christian Thomas has the same dumb face as his dad.
Sally, Wicky, Latona, NYR and Manny/Mannü FOREVER ♥
You can’t stop the loggers. You can only hope to contain them…
You can kill our forest but you can’t kill our spirit, Carp!
The object in all sports, every sport, often unspoken because of its (un-American?) Machiavellian implications, is to definitively ascertain your opponent’s weakness(es) and exploit them. Can anyone think of a sport where this is not the case? This undeniable maxim is one main reason athletes and teams are as tight lipped as they can be about releasing free “intelligence” to the enemy.
if he’s got a concussion and you don’t disclose it you’re actually harming the player more than helping him
If you don’t disclose it to who? The people who need to know (Nash, team, doctors) undoubtedly know.

Great job with the PCU reference, Salty. Sorry I ruined everything for you. Please try and forgive me. Maybe you would like to accept an honorary membership into the union of Loggers ™ if my co-horts don’t object.

Why would Anderson fake an injury to get out of a game he has a 1-0 third period lead in?

eric is the most downer fan. whining about no asham!!!!!
really think about that. and the ndelzaster while people endlessly whine how bad mdz is.. what is it…
the rangers can win with what they have if they play hard and smart.
the Nash injury is another story.. again in the short term they can win without him if they play there game…the no info on his injury leads people to believe the worse….
whos whining. i was just stating i would rather have del zaster ( who if you know me i hate) and asham over eminger and bickel.
the way the team is your right they still suck at the moment no matter whos playing
Nash’s new wife: “Ricky, you don’t need that dangerous job. Sure, you left school at 15, but now you know your way around New York and you could get one of those taxicab driver thingies.”
Sally, please explain, because I have no byfuglien idea what you’re talking about!

It is a sad sad day when the loggers are singled out.

Wicky!!!
Hedberg, just read you hilarious and not too bright comment on the DP ragging.
So to be clear he should be dumped on because someone decided to pay him a lot of money? Every one who has told an employer NOT to pay them so much raise your hand!
Can you possibly be more dense?
And as for the “tough guy” nonsense,did you ever watch Billy Smith play….......and complain?
Fish, you agree with the less than brilliant rationale and comments about DP?
How about facts instead of internet snickers! Maybe you might like to discuss Jessiman in terms of busts? McIllrath, or better still do a little work and print the Ranger drafts since 2000 ( when they weren’t traded away)and who they missed out on ,start with Giroux!
Is the lockout over yet?
Yeah, I’m pretty sure nobody has ever done a list of Rangers draft picks and noticed that they whiffed on a few. Get on it, Carp.
Marty Brodeur is very interested in learning more about these internet Snickers though.
Who invited the Fishstick troll?
“No thank you, I would not like a raise, Wang.”
I thought the fish on Friday was a thing of the past.
did somebody say Snickers?
BREAKING: NASH IS PREGNANT.

TORT’S WANTS IT TO BE ALL ABOUT TORT’S !
PROCESS MY ASS !
Sorry, Sally! I still have zero idea what you’re talking about.
I can’y believe all the Canadian hockey “experts” saying :
“Hall didn’t really hit Clutterbuck “knee on knee,”
” this will lead to the elimination of the open ice hit”
“The puck kind of bounced”
“It was a clean hit”
The guy did NOT have the puck, it was a blindside hit, and it was dirty. 2 games isn’t enough.
Tort’s
i like Tort’s (not really, tho)
I reckon Nash is out with a processed ass.
its just a maintenance day.
I think Saturday is for 4-wheel drive and tranmissions
I thought there was a time limit on how long the inmates could remain in the computer room.
Who monitors this stuff and where the hell are the attendants with the meds?
Carp, if you don’t open up the logging thread, I’m gonna stop posting here!
i don’t know what you mean.
I know you guys used to talk to each other in an old thread. is that what you mean? what happened?
do you want to explain it here, or in an email, or what? rcarpini@lohud.com

NO e-mail. As Latona says, It’s a trap!!!!
Carp, I don’t think that answer is going to fly with Sally.
i can’t believe I still have this foot-high pile of work to do and I’m jerking around trying to figure this thing out … but I might have fixed it. So somebody try it. Dammit.

Carp. After reading your re-cap from last nights game (which is dead-on – especially #’s 3,12& 13) I’m don’t we as a group can be confident that this team will make the playoffs. I’m having some serious doubts.
you’re welcome.
STRIKES OVER

WE won! We Won! The protest worked!
WE WON!
Log AWAY!
Thanks, Carp. You’re a real people’s ruler. A man of the people.
Papa, not to belabor the point, but pretty much everybody on the roster has been worse than what is expected of them, the power play stinks, they’ve lost two of those breakaway contest things, and yet they’re over .500 and in the top eight.
I can’t imagine it will get worse than this … assuming no major injuries.
now please tell me you guys were joking with all this talk about boycotting the blog and that you really weren’t mad at me or thinking I did something like that on purpose.
Obviously, Carp. If this place wasn’t a large part of my life I would go crazy in real life! No boycotts. We all know the only scab around here is Ilb.
My theory is that the comments just turn off after a given amount of time to save server space.

Nash had a bachelor party last summer someplace (Canada? Columbus?) But no one knows if he’s really married. Rangers management thinks it will dissuade female fans from buying $400 seats. Prust’s probably been married four years. It will all come out in Montreal.
Chicago is in the East?

There’s been a lot of chatter on here lately about single malt scotch, and it sometimes reflects itself in the posts.

Sally, I guess Carp just really needs me around here.. or there.. or both.
As I have been informed by a sometimes Irish scholar that the Irish are maybe one of the lost tribes of Israel, I join you in raising a Tullamore Dew to the skies.

Re: the elixir: The Irish call it “Holy Water.”
3C speaks numerous languages, at least two well.
San Jose has a goal, but if the Hawks score the next one, and 2 more, they’ll have 3.
And the others not too well?
No, they’ll still have one, Olga, but cheers for the work put into it.
Water of Life
Well, I know personally of only Russian, English, and a hit of Gaelic, C’s. Your nursing studies might drag you into some Latin. Could Yiddish be called a language, or is it just a German patois?
What about Ukrainian?
Ukraine is weak!
The elixir Coos is often referred to as The Water of Life.
There’s a Latin phrase, ‘Lacryma Christi,’ literally ‘the Tears of Christ,” which some Italians refer to as Vesuvian wine, (or vice-versa)
Ok Little Lad.
“It’s a not my crane, it’s a u crane.”
The Water of Life, yes PB
Lad, That’s PO’B to you.
Purim!? Already? Well, that means its a mitzvah to get drizzy to stick it to that old jerk that was seduced by the busty jewess.
Great religion sometimes, eh?
P O’B? No wonder Goldy didn’t like your porridge. We use JW Black instead of milk.
You bring up Elizabeth Taylor, Manny?
Goldie was last seen hobbling down the road, mumbling to herself.
Salll, Right back at ya, kid. But honestly I don’t know wtf happened. it wasn’t me who broke it, only me who fixed it, and not sure if it will break again or if I can fix it again if it does.
now I have a headache. But it’s the awesomest headache thanks to you.
Elizabeth Taylor, Norman Mailer, hailer, nailer, paler, Popeye the Sailor, Boston Whaler. Boyeeeeeeeeee! (Just filling in for eddie, eddie, eddie, who seems to be on sabbatical.)
Hawks tie it up.
Carp, you mean that every inane comment we have ever made is all stored someplace ad infinitum for the authorities to go through someday? )))
mumbling ))
Carp, are you dual-posting?
As Vinnie Barbarino used to say, “I’m SO confused!!!”
He might be. He might be.
Yiddish could be considered a separate language, i guess… but what do i know? My mom speaks it fluently. Russian “Blatnoy zhargon” (thieves slang) is mostly based on Yiddish words but not too many Russians know that ;)
SJ-1 chic-1 these guys skate
Billy smith I mean Dee PeePee still on waivers in case anybody wondering

To that same old place you laughed about…
I guess it doesn’t matter now but couldn’t the Rangers have kept Prust, Traded Rupp and not signed Halpern or Asham and be okay cap wise? I guess it doesn’t matter now but couldn’t the Rangers have kept Prust, Traded Rupp and not signed Halpern or Asham and be okay cap wise?
How does the team address the loss of Brandon power? Powe may be back next week or done for his career. Concussions are anybody’s guess. McIlrath is not ready. Is it worth it to make trades? Do they try to call up Healy? No ideas. But agree with Carp that this is not the team we had last year. Miss that team and don’t know how to (If they can) get it back.
Up your nose with a rubber hose.
+1, Coos..
You’re absolutely correct, Rangers West.
It doesn’t matter…
Yiddish has SO much humor contained within. Also, just one word carries a novel sometimes.
Tappen! Dale Weise (another ex-Ranger) scores the only goal so far in the Van-Nash game…
James Buchanan High, Jimbo. Wonder how many of those sweathogs knew who James Buchanan was. Ummm, who was James Buchanan?
“In this corner, weighing in at 110 pounds and pushing 89 years of age and the recent recipient of a brand new plastic hip, Joseph “Blue” Polaski.”
Was Thomas called up?
Hawks get a SH goal. Lead 2-1
Saad.
ilb speaks pretty good Yiddish…
I had a writing partner once who said out of the blue that I had a ‘yiddishe cup.’ At the time, I had no idea what he meant, but he said it was a compliment. I looked it up and was flattered.
ilb to patient: “So, what’s wrong?”
“What’s wrong, everything. What’s right?”
ilb: “aha”
Is James Buchanan HS where “Welcome Back, Kotter” was supposed to have been, Coos?
Yeah, that be it.
To the best of my memory, anyway…
‘yiddishe cup.’ – not “Kop”?
lol coos… my mom usually says “mishugina cup” to my dad ;)
kop*
You are all nutso. And I mean that in the fondest of terms.
nice one, Jimbo!
Ah, very good! I knew it was a Brooklyn high school, but didn’t know it was based on a “real” one!
What’s up with that Scientology and Barbarino?
Thank You, C3!!
Are we taking bets on the final score tomorrow night? If so, 4-1 Habs.
The poor boy (Vinnie) is also “SO confused” about that, Coos….
I always assumed that it was a fictional HS, Jimbo. Is there a Buchanan in Brooklyn?
You had to go and bring up the Rangers on The Rangers Report blog, didn’t Ya, Mickey!?
I don’t want to speculate, but I’m fearing the worst..
Oh, I really don’t know, Coos! JB wasn’t a very distinguished president, so maybe not!
Jees, 3C, now I’m wondering if I misunderstood him and he said I wrote like a Jewish cop!
Speaking of Scientology, in one of his movies, Woody Allen said that he couldn’t be a part of any religion that advertised on match book covers. :-))
According to Wikipedia, which one must sometimes take with a grain of salt, “The school was based on New Utrecht High School,[1] which was used in the opening credits, and also the high school that Gabriel Kaplan attended.”
It was a compliment, Coos!
AH, but they called it Buchanan, no?
He meant that you think like a Jew, which I’m assuming he considered a compliment!
Wow…Olga…Congrats on your Black Hawks making history….17 straight wins to start a season…
That’s what I thought he meant. Glad that’s cleared up. Now I like him again.
Yes – they gave the school a fictional name, but the exteriors they filmed were of New Utrecht High School, and that was the school that Gabe Kaplan, the star of the show, attended asa youngster..
Black Hawks Win!
Literally, he was saying that you have a “Jewish head”......hmm…Jewish head – I remember that…
Congrats, Olga – they look like they’re “for real”...
Reminds me of a documentary I saw with I think, Branford Marsalis who, with a few black musicians, were touring in Europe with Sting. Branford said that he told the Brit Sting that he thought his music was a m…......r. He said Sting took offense, not realizing Marsalis was paying him the highest compliment. True Story, :)) Some things get lost in translation.
So, the Hawks finally pulled one out.
Gee, I thought that the expression that Marsalis used was “universal”, but obviously not!! In that case, I can see Sting being taken aback by it..
This was maybe 20 years ago, but still… Sting must have then led a sheltered life.
Then again, it is the kind of comment that you could take the wrong way if you’re not paying attention to the context.
Dangerous Dan McGrew. I like that name. We need someone with a name like that to clear the crease!
Absolutely! Sting must not have gotten into urban “slanguage” very much where he grew up..I guess Brits have different ways to say things…I know that the Irish do..
Yes, Jimbo. I am attempting to talk Rangers hockey here, LOL.
How dare you, Mickey!!? :)
I DID offer Dangerous Dan.
It’s funny – the NHL Network is running a “crawl” at the bottom of the screen saying that “Rick Nash will not play in tomorrow’s game against the Canadiens for an “undisclosed reason”..(quotes are mine). And it just looks ridiculous!! What reason? He’s allergic to French!??
Nash can’t play because his uniform got stolen. True story.
He did play at least one game after the hit, which tells me it’s most likely not a re-injured shoulder. That, they would have had Xrayed, though it could be sore, but why not say that? If it were the flu, they would say it. Pointing more and more to headaches.
You know, they give you just a certain amount of time in Montreal to learn French. If you don’t, you’re in beaucoup trouble..
They can give him Hagelin’s sweater, 3C. Then, maybe we would see the full number for once.
Thomas called up from the Whale.
Come on, C3 – are you trying to “ORR” us!?
Cause I am daring Jimbo ;)
Maybe Nash got his head stuck in the freezer and can’t get out.

“Daring” me, Mickey!? How DARE you dare me!? :P
Wow!! Eminger AND Thomas!! Those Habs MUST be trembling in fear now!!
Christian Thomas recalled
that’s a surprise.
good one Jimbo!!!
Torts must be desperate desperate for
energy and possible scoring
well,
if anything
there were many Ranger fans
and those on this board
that were always
screaming for the organization
to play the Kids
THOMAS
The organization took my advice. Ruin the season and develop the kids. Next year !!
Love love love playing the kids at all costs. But, who comes out for Thomas? I will just guess Kreider.
Thank you, jpg! Yeah, they’re scared now!! ;)
Just woke up, damn, my skimask is still on, just like manny told me to put it on a couple of hours ago, then I rewind, there is another one with a skimask on, you know, the ethnic-monger CCCP.
So many languages spoken and no wisdom extracted, the nebbishes shall inherit the earth.
oh well
gonna try not to think about this mess
too much tonight.
woke up with headache on friday
don’t need to wake up due to
nightmares about this team
more…...
some other time
Goodnight, jpg!
sit mashinter for Thomas.
Anyone ever see Thomas play and have any insight??????????
Is this thing on?
its off, way off
Thomas is supposedly a goal scorer, just like his dad, Steve Thomas. But we’ll see. He’s a tad smaller than Mashinter at 5’9 and 170 lbs tho.
“A tad, Lloyd?”
