Piece of kaleta…
still not enough to be a deterrent…suspend him for a year
No Kaleta when they play in Buffalo next week.
Hat trick
Call up Nicholls.
:)
And no Zolnierczyk when they play Philthadelphia Tuesday.
Guaranteed Victory Formula: Lundquist cannot allow more than 2 goals.
guaranteed guaranteed victory formula – Henrik cannot allow moe than zero goals
Bernie Nicholls?
Math not my strong suit FG
weight not mine..or is it?
Neither (either?) is writing
4 kids though, so my tadpoles do swim
Surely I postulate
you postulated four times
I was watching the game with Papa Bear Jr. last night. He said the last time he saw someone writhing in pain like Richards on the ice was when I was passing a kidney stone 2 years ago. .......kidney Stone = Man-birth.
Thanks Carp
Good.
Richards looked like Joe Montana when Leonard Marshall hit him in San Fran in NFC Championship game before SB XXV.
Looked like something out of Kafka’s Metamorphosis.
Coos, it’s been like days. How ya been?
Recovery mode, Papa H0w old cary grant?
I like the way he flapped his gloves off and pulled his forearms into his chest and flexed his hands…..alligator arms.
If it weren’t for this Kaleta announcement, we could have hit 1000 by 10 PM instead of 3:45!
Limp Bisquit?
Not to make light, but he looked like a stink bug I whacked with the Sunday Times.
We were 93 short on Saturday :-(
The NHL is not going to suspend players as many games due to the amount of money players will lose. That 5 game suspension is basically a 9 game suspension in a normal year…
I used the editorial pages so it was a fair fight. :)
Blutarsky doing the worm
What would it be in dog years?
You’d have to ask Ovechkin. Milbury basically said he was a dog, then slammed him notes on the table.
All seriousness ( kind of reverse of not to make light? ) thank goodness Richie is walking today.
I still don’t understand how he didn’t miss a shift…
Maybe he’ll even start skating again.
Sometime this year?
Indeed. His head slammed, jerked back, and he was holding a hand or forearm, and later was getting a back massage on the bench.
I’d ask Ovechkin, but he scares me.
I saw that back massage, looked a little creepy.
Manny @ 4:35 with ‘the best taunting ever’, HYSTERICAL. Had totally forgotten about that! Man, I miss that guy….
When I was twenty and watching football on TV with the old man and uncles, they would holler and cringe at some of the hits, and I would say, ‘what’s the big deal?’ Now I know what they were talking about. Age humps on us.
I probably wouldn’t understand his answer (Ovie) anyway.
Matty, next time can you just repost Manny at 4:45. I hate having to scroll backwards. Tough on the hands and fingers.
schmuck milbury was still downplaying the kaleta hit
as if Brad was tossing himself into the boards
he backtracked slightly by saying Brad was vulnerable
at leat
keith jones was having none of it
saying that kaleta should know better
Ovechkin and Milbury would be a good one. Ovie would end up with the top of his head reading ‘Cat’s Paw. and Milbury would have one big tooth mark in his forearm.
It looked like what they call a burner or stinger.
First pro hockey game I saw live was Rangers Blackhawks, my uncle scored 2nd row seats. I couldn’t believe the speed and violent collision. It doesn’t look the same on TV. I was amazed.
Papa, check ‘Avery Mocking Maxime Talbot’ on google, which directs you to youtube. It’s hillarious.
I had a Stinger in the diner one night at about 4AM when was about 18. Worst drink I ever had.
The older Milbury gets the more he sounds like Don Cherry. If only we could get him to dress like Cherry, I could use a good laugh.
hilarious is a better spelling
Kadri is turning out to be a very good player…he just scored against the Devs…brings him to 9 goals… (Btw, JVR has 12)
Honestly, did Burke really deserve to get fired? Seems like the drafting, trades, and signings are working out OK…
Looks like Carlyle has the team playing hard…
So, in looking at the standings, as the sleeping giant in 9th place is beginning to slowly wake up, it would be recommended to the other teams to keep winning and look ahead, not behind at the locomotive that is beginning to pick up speed. Indeed, the Flyers, in 8th, have 3 games at hand, the Debbies have 1 and Ottowa 2, Toronto 3. In essence, a couple of wins and we’re right back in the thick of the mix.
Not concerned at all.
Duguay is evolving into Cherry, at least sartorially.
Gurly man that Talbot. Must have a lot of sisters.
Marty , the NHL is a copy cat league. obviously the Rangers trying to copy the Kings of last year and their 8th place Finnish.
amazing, brodeur gets injured and the devils can’t win a game. The guy is a carcillo but you have to admit he is a hall a fame goaltender.
The game’s a whole ‘nother thing in person, Papa, no doubt. Love the sound of the crisp passes hitting sticks, the goalies’ super athleticism that TV can’t transmit.
Finish (lower case f)
One guys Finnish, one guys finished, and one guy can’t finish, as Carp said. :)
Tommy,,,,, I am not under oath… I can lie.. The guy sucks
Well, I’m back.
Anyone else here watch Celebrity Apprentice? I’m done with Trump.
The finish, finished and swede who should’ve be Finnish line. Nice one by Carp.
Something like that
Dee Snyder not looking well these days
These days? How about those days too..
papa bear,
it’s all good in the ranger brotherhood. I hope the great chubby one stays injured for the devils so I can watch the devils lose.
7:30 Monday night, no game, work tomorrow, currently at 65 what’s our productivity goal – 185??
those days too, lol
Hey, we’re not gonna take it.
Depends on eddie’s mathematical moon pie extrapolations.
No we ain’t gonna take it.
“Guess fatso there just forgot to shake my hand. Again.” I do miss Avery, must admit.
We’re not gonna take it, anymore.
First time I sat down in the red seats, after all those years up in the blues, the first thing I noticed was just how loud the puck hitting the glass can get when it’s a few feet away from you.
Kaleta spelled backwards is Dogsheet. Weird.
Sabres fans still whining about Danny G’s hit on Ennis. Really? Ennis turned into the boards, and he’s 5 foot nothing. If he stayed parallel to th boards it would have been shoulder to… Well I guess shoulder to face cuz he’s a dwarf!
Ranger’s anthem after watching Richie do the Alligator Arms last night.
A little person GOG
Romeo, costs you $300 extra to hear that sound today.
Sorry… I forgot to be PC. That little person dwarf got pasted to the boards!
I heard that
uh oh…
In all fairness to Boyle , When Gaborik had the puck he passed it to Boyle for the give-in go . Boyle made a great attempt to get it back to Gaborik but the puck got poked away from Gaborik. If that puck didn’t get reflected it was a BEUTIFUL pass from Boyle to Gaborik. In the locker room only they know ( and I ) that they made the right play , they practiced it…
Kaleta = brown lava
Coos when EEE sets those productivity goals high, it always better to come up with the “2 word names for poop” contest. Half asleep, we were able to move at a lightning pace
I’m done with him too, Latona. I actually was done with that complete nut job a long, long time ago. I would enjoy watching Brown go to town on his orbital bones though.
When I first had my season tickets, I think they were $8 each.
lava limp
Z’s are wild… Most optimistic Ranger fan of all time. keep viewing these games through those Boyler colored glasses.
I bet Richards is in monster pain today…. Probably in a little shock after that hit…. He should have gone straight to the locker room and not come back out…. Hope he is ok
coos, now ya did. Ya had to go wake him up?
I read a book about Mantle, Martin and Ford. Mantle said the Yankes finally got rid of Martin because they thought he was a bad influence, but Mickey said Whitey was the instigator, and Martin was just along for the ride. Who knew? A lot like e.cubed, that Whitey, wot?
I’m going POOF at 150
Fudge clusters
ZzZz….right on, man…it was like a give and go…
Hershey chews
Lets talk some serious hockey…......
Billy, whitey, and Mickey….
e cubed …. To early, you’re gonna get us all moderated again
and the Duke
My pops played stick ball with Whitney’s older brother – somewhere in queens….
Fudgy the Whale
Ever get the comment, at 3 AM: ‘You’re posting too fast, slow down?’
Eli Whitney?
Everyone else appears to head to an alternate blog when the fudge talk starts. That’s why we gotta save it for later, right?
Whitney North Seymour, Jr.?
I mustache you a question, but I’m shaving it for later..
Almost everyone who posts during the work day stops posting when they get home. I suspect there’s more fear of the wife than the boss. :))
Tough to slow down when they’re basically 2 word posts, and 1 word is always fudge
My mom lived close to Ebbets Field – big dodger fan…. The ole man from the Bronx – huge Yankee fan….amazing they hooked up….
Things here are deteriorating faster than a Rangers power play. On that note…
I have gotten slow down – you’re posting too fast – wife says the same thing
Correct. Never thought of it that way
Huminah huminah huminah huminah
Biggest fear at work is that the boss is on the same blog and he busts you because similar spelling and grammar errors made in your work reports appear in the blog as well.
Mom and Dad same, maybe we related???
Clouseau
See, Romeo is burning
I’m waiting for someone at that wedding I went to to say: “You’re cooscoos?” Got to be more careful.
Romeo – don’t blame me – kooz and papa bear are to blame
ha.
Brother?
Romeo, where art thou? Don’t abscond!
Papa – e3’ s momma later moved to Ridgewood …. Yours too?
“Almost everyone who posts during the work day stops posting when they get home. I suspect there’s more fear of the wife than the boss. :))”
LOL!
I’m waiting for newbear to come on to see what foreign dignitary he forked to death this week. I don’t think he appears until after Edgar Allen Poe turns off the light.
Opposite here, Dad from Brooklyn, Mom from Bronx. Mom’s family were Giants fans, Dad’s Dodgers. There are stories heated exchanges at the reception.
Too early for the nbear
I gotta be jobbin in awhile y’all be chilling lay tah?
Man, I remember all the heated exchanges and arguments when I was a kid. Those fans took their teams SERIOUSLY!
Romeo, you’ve come back too us
We’re not that bad, really. Not real real bad anyway.
Romeo – I know of what you speak… Both parents were football giants fans and HUGE ranger fans however
New Jersey or Queens?
It’s a ghost town
Yea, very heated, considering they got married about two weeks before Branca served one up to Thompson. They always found common ground in hating the team from the Bronx.
Newbear waits till the garlic is gone before he rises
Queens -
How’s Kreider doing? ( thought I’d throw out a hockey question, try and get some more voices going)
“I killed the foreign minister of Uruguay with a sharpened #2 pencil.” He can be pretty funny, really. (I hope)
West Coast Vampire I presume
A fork. You can’t kill a PM of U with a pencil
Near grove and forest
Someone posted before that Kreider is still not lighting it up.
I often stayed there when visiting my grandma
Lead poisoning
Gotta get some work done tonight so I can watch the Rangers beat Philly tomorrow night.
Cat Scratch Fever
It’s a long and painful death
Think NYR fan is/was near there
Graphite
Romeo – that had to be tough both NL teams…. My parents didnt have dram till World Series time
Cat scratch fever is what Talbot tried to give Avery.
Drama
Was there anything cheap about the shot Kaleta gave Richie?
Sophocles in the forum. Hey, what else are you going to do on a Saturday night in Greece in 490 BC?
Maxine Talbot
Dirty play for sure
A Long Tall Sally
I’m awaiting moderation for a post of Sophocles. Go figure. I DID use the word Greek, maybe that’s it.
kaleta is a dirtbag. should have got 15 games
Mazel Tov Shanahan. Now suspend yourself for a year.
I think the $76,000 will make his wife take notice, though.
The universe does not tolerate bad karma – ask malkin
Ace and Gary
Shanahan was a bit of a brawler. I think he has sympathy. Otherwise, I don’t get some of his ‘judgements.’
I got hung up by the Mod Police, it’s cold and lonely in that cell brutha Koos
Shanny isn’t consistent – that’s my beef
Papa bear said hung
Makes no sense, PB. Totally clean.
Not a cheap shot ($76K’s)
Only 13 days to O’McBear. McD has one iffy game and Papa becomes Lithuanian.
I’ve never met a guilty man Koos. Self included.
Amazing half my posts make it thru.
McD….must be half Scot
You, eee, are bullet proof. What’s up with that?
St. Paddy’s should be Christmas
He may be post concussed. Never saw him make so many mistakes in one game.
McD Irish origin, no Scott
Greek …did I make it through???
You know who the coaches’ of Detroit and St. Louis? Yes?
McTavish, now that’s a horse of a different color.
Scotts are Mac usually
Backwards….did I make it through?
Battle of the cocks
490 BC – will that get through?
Behind…..
Rear
Rear window…..
And nashville’s goalie? Pecker Rimmer
The only other thing in there is what are you going to do on a Saturday night in Greece if you don’t want to see a Sophocles play?
Back yard….....
You guys are gonna get me yelled at
Gary Buttplug
Lovie, are you coming???
Aha! The filter doesn’t like the name of that Greek playwright. Let’s try: Aeschylus.
not yelling, but please …
All right – I be seeing y’all on the flip side – be kook and holla back
Kick the can
Aha! It’s the Greek playwright’s name it doesn’t like. Rhymes with Mophocles.
Every time I try to bring it back to hockey….. They ignore me Carp. Check the log.
Carp – it’s kooz and papa bear – I swear
Knock it off you two
Papa said log, Carp
wow, you sold them out pretty quickly, Eddie. (I don’t blame you).
Lets go rangers
log.
From my carping on the last thread
IWicky “Frag Out!!!”
1 hr, 37 mins ago
Doodie
Why do they have to exclusively throw body checks or fight?
Why can’t they do both?
Neil, lucic, clowe, younger iggy, vinny lecav, and so on could hit and would drop the gloves when necessary
Don’t think it should be an either or situation
Coos, Can you give me the phonetic spelling of that dudes name so I can at least try and guess
My 8:19 post has been bailed out of jail.
Call me Bobby Clarke
Wow. You guys are on fire tonight.
I’m with you, Wick. I like the guys who can play and toss hands and don’t do staged fights.
Wow, in less than 3 posts, we each sold the others down the river.
Alright – play nice ill be back 8:30 my time
What the hey is going on here? I come here to hear responses to Kaletas punishment and I scroll thoguh nothing but complete gibberish. Are you all fools? And if so why do I come here? Fools!!
eddie, under gentle questioning, tends to give up the ship, the crew, and the colors.
Coos can yo re-post, I hate having to scroll back. I get confused and loose my place.
Amen, Wick. Vinny LeCav. He definitely has brought it a bit more this season.
Peter, I admit your general rule that every poet is a fool, but you, yourself do serve to show it, that every fool is not a poet.
Coos, if you won’t spell it phonetically, can you at least give me the first 3 letters of what it rhymes with??
Soph-o-cles
Any chance we can trade Bickel for Bickell?
Ok that didn’t work.
Are you suggesting that he should get the L out, Manny?
Oh Thurston. Your such a bubbling idiot.
Productivity is on the rise again
do you know for what character, other than Thurston Howell III, actor Jim Backus is best known?
I think we on to Gilligan’s island.
Magoo
Oh, Magoo. You’ve done it again.
Give me my keys please
Wasn’t Backus someone’s rich dad in some old comedy series?
I see I was jumped for the correct answer. We have to hand out buzzers.
He was also in Rebel Without a Cause
Also today, the Rangers they’ve signed free agent forward Josh Nicholls, 20, the Maple Leafs seventh-round pick in 2010 who is playing for Saskatoon (Western Hockey League). The 6-foot-2, 186-pound Nicholls has 41 goals and 32 assists in 65 games for the Blades this season.
Right – James Dean’s father!
That’s big time production, but WHL, alas
How ya doing there little buddie?
“That’s My Boy” I got it.
Related to Bernie?
Bernie Dean
Maybe they can trade him for Messier
James Dean, he was a real Giant
What a couple of posters don’t get is that the players fool around more than they talk hockey.
When they hung in Rye, it was rare that hockey even came up in 6 hours.
Coos…. you see how it cleans up when you know who goes you know where? It’s not us. It’s him. I tell you it’s him!!
He’s the Whitey!
He thinks he can get away with it because he was on the short list for the Nobel in Random Variables and stochastic processes.
Fluery embarrassed
...and verbal boarding with intent to injure
I went to a game in the 80’s. the Rangers got trounced. After the game we went up to a place i think Flannigans on the upper east side. About an hour later, Leetch, Patrick and MacIver walk into the bar and are laughing, drinking and whooping it up with a couple of fine looking women ( I think Leetch may have married one of the girls). Some of my friends (co-workers) were incredulous at how they could have such a good time after a loss.
Carp,
we are in agreement again. You didn’t hit your head or anything did you?
People are going to worry about you if you agree with me a lot!
If you prick us, do we not bleed?
If the players took the inevitable loss as hard as the fans, they’d all be in therapy.
If 50% of the time I went to work I did a failing job, but my job was in a line of work where that was the norm, I’d go home happy most days too.
Hey I love Prust as much as anybody else n glad he got big-money from the Habs. We shouldn’t have paid that much, bit he really did make Boyle play better, but what is everybody talkin about with him n Lucci he got pounded into the ground… Geez he ain’t a deterrent
Coos, just got modded on Shakespeare “if you ….. us, do we not bleed”
Best was Gronkowski after Super Bowl loss to the G-Men.
The people on the ice who are willing to take a couple to land few bother everyone on the opposition. It’s not just winning, it’s attitude and determination. And knowing that the next shift he gets, no matter what, he’s ready to do it again, win, lose, or draw That’s Prust, for one.
You gonna tell that guy he’s having to much fun. He says let’s dance naked, I’m dancing naked, win or lose.
Well, Papa, you gotta know that one won’t fly…unless e cubed says it. :) He’s got the magic Apple.
I should know better…. but I figured I’d play the Shakespeare trump card.
Funny story about Dave DeBusschere in the bar one night, Papa, after his playing days. I’ll tell you later if we’re both still here. Nothing that can’t be said here, but I don’t want to discourage other posters.
Shakespeare would be arrested today with that language and those double entedres.
Professor Roy Hinkley: Well, that glue is permanent! There’s nothing on the island to dissolve it. Well, do you know what it would take? It would take a polyester derivative of an organic hydroxide molecule.
Thurston Howell III: Watch your language! You’re in the presence of a lady!
Leafs 4-2 over NJ falling fast
Where’s the Fat Guy?
Fat guy is funny. Must have a large wife who holds him back. :)
And another thing, when the Rangers used to straggle in alone or in pairs, they went out of their way to make sure they didn’t sit next to anyone that they knew wanted to talk hockey. Just sayin’.
Any sign of vanek? You guys know he missed the game last night?
But that doesn’t mean that Boyler and Richie shouldn’t be held accountable! :)
Out two games consecutively, PBR, but, as with the Rangers, no comment on the injury.
And, how could anyone not know he was out?
LOL…Nigel Dawes leads the KHL in playoff goals…Haha!
Wick it doesn’t have to be either or but guys that can do both are EXTREMELY rare. Young Iginla and Lecavalier? Reaching a bit for examples? And if it’s between a guy who can fight or a guy who can hit, I take the hitter 99/100.
Talent starved, one dimensional Fighters are a dime a dozen when it comes to the NHL.
Clownahan strikes again!
Is this thing on?
Papa took some time off. e3 returns at 11: ish. Can’t get over that lazy slug who complained about information on Kaleta’s suspension. It was discussed by everyone in detail and is readily available. sheesh.
Coos, He’s small potatoes.
PBR and Peter, whoever they are, check in here once every third blue moon, post a nasty and then disappear again. Reminds me of Bobby Clarke hiding behind Schultz.
Bill Jaffe been hanging around Duguay. Wardrobe violation on the tie and loud pinstripes.
He’s Don Cherry in training.
He always looks like a tourist who lost his tour.
Probably young’ins, fire in the belly, mush between the ears, die with every loss.
meanwhile, newbear is polishing his fork
:)
Lots of money to be made for former marginal players on the Telly.
Dinner with Newbie…... Hold the pickles, hold the lettuce, hide the forks
Amazing how few concussions before helmets. I remember seeing Duguay’s hair flowing like Heidi Klum’s.
You got a problem, coos? I do not take lightly to being called Bobby Clarke. I have this whole other thing going on, called a wife and kids and work (“life”). I pop in here constantly and read and post when I think there is a salient point to be made. But I more often just read. And by the way who would then be Schultz? Ya bonehead.
Clouseau….. ;)
“I’m communicating with you from a hutch in the jungles of Poughkeepsie.”
Ouch.
Well, you actually can scroll. And thanks for the bonehead remark. Around here, it’s a compliment. Were you around more, you’d know that.
Can’t we all just get along????
a long what?
Why can’t we be friends?
Why can’t we be friends?
Why can’t we be friends?
Why can’t we be friends?
I seen you ‘round for a long long time
I really ‘membered you when you drink my
wineBlack BushWhy can’t we be friends?
Why can’t we be friends?
Why can’t we be friends?
Why can’t we be friends?
I got his gibberish swingin’
Do we have a problem here?
Last Thursday I…no wait a minute, that wasn’t me.
Inspector! Remove his stripes!
Go back to France you blubbering idiot!
Can we not get along with the Frenchies?
“I’m not a Frenchie, I’m a Belgie!”
I know its a compliment you bonehead I am around here all the time. I was joking. Except about the Bobby Clarke thing. Back in the 70’s the Rangers program was GOAL magazine, and on the cover was someone from that day’s opposing team. My first game was in 1973, I think, and Clarke was on the cover with that toothless grin. Rangers won that game 2-1 but since thenthe sight of those orange creamsicles coming over the boards makes me physically ill.
Taking my 5 year-old tomorrow night but it wont be his first game. But he not surprisingly has the same creamsicle aversion.
Peter I feel your pain. I got all of those things going on too. Plus, I’m old too.
I’m getting to understand you better, and I like your (new) persona. We be cool.
Now there’s only one other guy that maybe I’m wrong about…:)
Does your dog bite?
Got a big old Dog, his name is Dan
Live in my backyard in Birmingham
Meanest dog in Alabam
Get “em Dan!
Coos, how bout the goalies from yesteryear? No masks, flimsily equipment. They’d were sitting ducks. But, the men who played the game back then had honor and respect…..Didn’t shoot for the goalies head.
That Boyle better get his act together (just thought I’d throw that in for the hockey fans out there)
I thought you said your dog does not bite?
Coos – Leetch story – not his wife to be if it was the 80’s – but one of the posse he hung with – lived close to that watering hole and spent more than one night there…
Ironically, all the newish gear makes the player more reckless psychologically, I think. It can’t be we raised a generation of ghoulish youths, can it?
Boyle and Bickels are greased lightning for the R – ANGER – S fans on this blog.
and, stranger, it is so true that the last thing they want to do is talk hockey at those times if they can help it.
Yes. But that is not my dog.
why not entend ice and create more room behind the goal – an extra 5 ft would allow for some real movement in Gretz’ office.
I kind of feel sorry for both of them. They try and try, and even when they do something worthwhile, that’s soon forgotten and the boo birds come out. Hey, I’ve done it, too.
extend not entent..
Clouseau is trying to trip me up…
some just look at the back of the playing card – bicks plays 3 flippin mins – I mean, come on?
I know you are hiding my fiendish yellow friend
This team and these players have no idea what it’s like to be booed by the Garden faithful.
I think they should pull the goalie when the puck first drops and try to get a quick lead.
My dear friend cooscoos, you are much too sharp for that.. ;€) (mustache?)
Equipment has something to do with it. Look at JD’s gear sometime – much smaller. Also thought he skill levels of all the players has increased dramatically over the last 30 years.
I think the reason we have injuries and so many more of them has to do with a combo of things. The NHL first decides not to allow the players to police themselves by adding in the instigator penalty. Used to be if you looked at Gretzky funny you got beaten up by Semenko. Now a piece of trash like Kaleta does what he does and nobody wants to risk the instigator penalty. IN the past he would not have done that because he would have had to answer for it big time, and if he were thrown out his teammates would. And the other half of it is that the NHL has taken over the authority to punish these acts but they refuse to do so in any meaningful way. So the league wont let the players police themselves and yet refuses to set limits in a way they need to be set. So bottom line= no consequences for most actions. Which results in more bad incidents.,
the faithful are no more…priced out and replaced by red seaters all over
Do you remember, Peter, when the benches would empty? Zowie!
my favorite 70’s chant: “Red Seats suck!”
Peter Sellers, though very funny, ruined Lolita, I think.
Good point Strange. Very corporate at the Garden these days.
Fotiu, instead of handing a puck to a rich kid in the alley, would haul off and toss them to the cheap seats
Peter – I believe Wick said it earlier – you have to forget about the game result sometimes and just administer justice – consequences be damned. Long run the team is better off.
MSG has always been corporate, but now it’s beyond belief.
Gentleman, you can’t fight in here. This is a war room.
Strange, that’s what Emile Francis said when Rolfe was destroyed.
Corp and family time as well Papa
Earlier starts (7pm) and Disneyfication of midtown per Rudy
Miss the smoke filled stairwells and watching brawls in the blues
We have a lot of virgin posters tonight, no?
His quote was, “third man-in be damned!”
Well, Clouseau might be. That war room line was one of the witttiest in moviedom.
Used to catch 6 or so games a year, now closer to 2 –
The place is sterile and the reno is more stifling with no ability to walk the garden
I miss the old college bars with the sawdust on the floor and the beers spilling everywhere.
Very sharp my friend
The high school gym at the Friday night dance, saw dust on the floor. Condoms for sale in the bathroom.
I bought a condominium once.
I (facetiously) proposed on the blog the other day to eliminate fighting and allow more raucousness and etc., and I got no responses. They probably thought I was from Paris.
Get rid of the helmets and face masks, go back to the non-curved wooden sticks, make the goal 6 inches wider and 6 inches higher.
Another thing, they used to stop the game to measure stick size and curvature.
On Tuesday and Thursdays Goals can only be scored by defenseman.
Davidson told me one night on the next stool that the posts were part of his equipment. He meant it. I guess you have to think that way, positive thinking.
I think some players have special sticks with illegal curves they only use use during shootouts
Now that I think back, he was one of the few who had any interest at all in talking a bit of hockey. Guess that’s why he’s where he is today, still fighting the puck.
JD should be running this place.
Most of them would say, “Do you know that girl over there in the blue?”
cooscoos had two stink bugs here, yesterday, don’t hit with the Times , then they STINK you have to bring it outside
JD was very real. I wish he were here.
Early rise tomorrow… Casper’s about to go POOF.
I know! Stinkbugs. Where in hell did they come from all of a sudden. Last year was the first I encountered them and they seem to be able to get in no matter what you do. No other insects in here, but they get in!
I must admit there was a part of me that was surprised Kaleta got any games suspension, the way some suspension haven’t happened like Matt Cooke on Karlson achilles tendon cut
Did you make midnight Mass the night after the night after, Papa? :) Man, that was some marathon.
http://columbia.patch.com/articles/10-ways-to-fend-off-stink-bugs
I read onlin that stinkbugs are related to bed bugs only worse cause they stink and 2013 unfortunately a big year for them. So Gross
For one thing, Cooke actually said it was an accident and he was sorry, and I think they believed him. Kaleta still hasn’t apologized. I think that weighed.
Who could forget the days when some booze-addled dopes wearing suits would do something stupid, like try to start the wave, or leave with 8:00 to go in a tie game and the RED SEATS SUCK chant would rain down? Those were the days. The “Beat your wife Potvin, beat your wife” chant. One playoff season, the Rangers were playing the Flyers and that goof Brad Marsh was playing for the Flyers. In the days of major hair flow, he hits the ice for warm ups with a buzz cut and the crowd starts chanting “Who does your hair?” The Flyers players are laughing so hard they can barely skate. Refs took a beating from the Garden crowd too. The “you….......you…........you…......f*** you” chant was a classic. We won’t be seeing those fun days anymore. Most of the stuff we used to do will get you thrown out by Dolan’s storm troopers nowadays.
They’re harmless, but wrangly lookin dudes with the spikes, etc, and they fly.
Somebody left the gate open…
cooa coos, house is pretty clean here, stink bugs fly, think one flew in the other night when the door was open
Them was the days!
Mama had me up for the 10AM coos. I must have smelt like a Bailys & Bushmill ( Hell’s Kitchen) stink bomb. Father Pat looked at me a little cross when I went up for communion.
LOL Father Pat
how bout Bossy takes it up the _ _ _, doo dah, doo dah…
Bossy and Potvin were two strange dudes, if you ask me. Players, yes, but…
Stink bugs, old garden chants, communion, proposed rule changes, all nighters…. what a place. Peter would be proud
Bailey’s. Vince Lombardi was having problems enforcing curfew and he told the team the next misadventure would cost the guilty party 5 big ones. He then said, anyone who has that kind of cash to blow, I’ll give you my phone # and I’ll join you.
I think I misunderstood Peter. He was just an agitated fan for a brief moment in time.
But, I could be wrong. again.
In those days, maybe the coaches actually made similar dough to the players…. And then again, maybe not.
Might of had a bad day at the college
I read that Bob Cousy, an old Celtic, when he coached, did not want anyone on the team who made more $ than he. He didn’t last too long.
Hide the forks, it almost newbie time.
...or the cotillion…
OMG. Tines and toe poppers
Vaguely remember a game when he came off the bench as a coach against the Knicks.i think he was coaching Cincinnati???
I don’t recall. Holy Cross his alma mater, I think.
‘Why do you make fun of me?’ I’m NOT making fun of you. It’s an after hours playpen. We fly like night erns. Come on, soar….He can be funny if he lets himself go
Werd up yp
uh oh
Has vampire Newbear arisen?
POOF
Papa was awakened for 10 o’clock Mass yesterday and has not yet fully recovered.
I miss anything?
Nothing other than a gang rape on my person. But. it’s all cool now. Thanks for all the help.
Hi papa, kooz, jpg’ s sis, s.nation, Peter – anyone else?
Ria? Anyone, anyone
Josh Nicholls =Cup
We’re you violated, my brutha?
Yo rangers west
charges dismissed
Jesus dropped the charges
Josh Nichols can light the lamp, it seems
Crown of thorns
In the DHL, at least, Disney Hockey League. Seen that before, but who knows?
Lacryma Christi
I bet Boyle couldn’t score in the DHL.
Chris Christie
I think 1000 for the day is doable
LOL I just googled Ogden Nash’s “Have Some Madeira, My Dear,” and what pops up, 5th thing down, but Rangers Assign Kreider to AHL Seems it’s a Carp post I made in February re: Ogden Nash!
Not without Bear. His wife got him up for 10 o’clock Mass Sunday and he POOFED like Casper the Friendly Ghost.
Read McTeague yet, slacker? Another good Frank Norris book is The Octopus!!
McTeague, as I’ve mentioned, is the greatest descriptive novel EVER!!!!!!!!!
It’s like living in a Don DeLillo/Ray Bradbury phantasmagoria where your every inane thought is recorded somewhere.
I’ve been dying myself – staying too late…. Waking up to early….burning my fuse
You have to sometime, at your leisure, re-scroll the day. You’re mentioned somewhere within as a Nobel short lister.
That is funny – Ogden Nash equates to The Kreider
We don’t Nobel for math, supposedly Nobel’s wife was shagging a mathematician …. We have the Field’s Medal >> Nobel prize
Don’t have a Nobel for math ….
I’m presently reading DeLillo, Barthes, Kerouac, Ferlinghetti, Maupassant, Golf’s Greatest Rivalry, The Sonnets of Michelangelo, and Faulkner, all on my bedstand. When I get up to the Scarsdale library, I will stack McTeague on top.
Nobel for gunpowder and explosive experts?
Waking up too early (above)
That’s all you are reading? Slacker
Insomnia?
Scarsdale – nice area – had a friend on Old Army Road
I don’t know exactly how that Nicklaus/Palmer book got in there, but Carp recommended the writer.
Not insomnia – too much energy sometimes – but I like an ambien with my wine
Old Army Road – very familiar with where that be
love its windiness
Knew a guy at LA times sports Dept. said Arnold Palmer shagged more babes than any athlete in the history of sports.
I remember the days when I would stay out all night and still make my 9 AM class. Protestant Work Ethic.
Beautiful Homes – great hood
That’s why Jesus gave him prostate cancer
I need a more beautiful home, now that you mention it.
How come most poets, who appreciate beauty, live in hovels?
I used to be able to go days without sleep….. Many nights up till 4am up at 7am…. But at some point need 18 hours of nap time to get caught up….. not so much anymore….but I typically only get 6 hrs max
The wad
My crib be cool
What is this crap with poetry and real estate tours? I log on here to find out if Hagelin got an assist and I have to slog through all of this nitwit nonsense? When I want to know something about who scored at 1 AM, I expect to be able to find out immediately! Drop dead, all a yiz!
Poets’ beauty stems from within…. It’s in the mind ….
Another disgruntled gentleman.
i used to be awake all hours too, but now im too old for it. being a sports fan has worn me down.
Three cops, after beating the living hell out of a speeder, in their report, “We escorted the gentleman to the prone position.”
It’s in the mind? Why can’t it be in the wine cellar on the estate?
What are the line combos? Draft choices? Should Boyle get 15+ minutes???????????
You need one night of a solid 14 hours snooze. Every now and then, the body demands it.
Well historically, the wine cellar plays an important role!!
Hi tiki
I suggested before to pull the goalie at the initial face off and try to get a quick lead/ I think it made perfect sense, but all I got was ridicule.
Tiki, I didn’t even notice that you were posting. Thought it was eddie, as all there are is eddie and I. My apologies.
Years ago I was writing stories, handicapping horses and playing golf. Gave up golf. I think I made the wrong choice.
I need to gulp a gallon of melatonin
Is that hair dye?
Eddie and me, no?
Sleep juice
Each of Duguay’s shirts tells a different story.
Not that me dare correct you :)
I and he, we all be, merry you see, with a capital g
The last shirt, I think, was about the Cask of Amontillado.
Doogie has some serious hair
G for gangsta
No. I believe I is the predicate nominative, as ‘all’ and eddie and I are one and the same. Who cares? It can be debated, I suppose.
George W Bush “is our children learning”
I’m trying to find out how many PIMs Crosby has and I have to slog through all this dumb crap? Die!
All there is me? All there is I. I love grammar… .... The rules are almost mathematical in the sense of an algebraic structure…..
Me and my shadow. wrong.
Kooz – you have a flair with words – I take your word on the word…
Kooz – how many shots on goal did the kings have Saturday night? Did they even play?
I do appreciate a rock song with proper English usage employed. Doesn’t happen often, but it stands out when it does. Sting, as I remember, was kind of a purist that way.
g for gay
diagramming a sentence is a kind of math
Do do do da da da – indeed a wordsmith :)
Tiki doing the Big Bird
abbas and dabbas
Tiki – ever watch Ace and Gary? The ambiguously Gay Duo? The greatest skit ever on SNL – google it if you haven’t…. Genius!!!!!
i used to take care of a retired Cal Berkeley english professor, sweet lady. she was crippled, my neighbor in apt. next to me. she never minded me yelling like a maniac over games or banging on walls.
Something’s been bothering me. Tortorella knows nothing…nothing about hockey. Why isn’t Asham centering for Gaby and Bickel? And McDonagh shouldn’t even be playing.
Yes, diagraming sentence structure is mathematical…. In fact, the same way you massage language, you massage equations….. Of course writing proofs is all about words, definitions, postulates, corollaries, theorems,,,,,,
That’s because she read Jane Austen and was very refined.
If you’re fined once, then refined, are you really refined?
this nutjob walked into my friends post office one day, said he was a wordsmith and he needed to make a business card with his occupation as wordsmith. so he came in a week later with a business card, michael john silverman, wordsmith. he was going on about a post office conspiracy to steal mail. so i told him i knew of it, and that only massachusetts post offices steal mail, lol
Tiki – were you living in the great city of Berkeley?
I think I have blocked corollaries. It’s from the cannolis. I should have left the cannolis and taken the gun.
I’d put Hank on right wing
then he asked if he could relieve himself in the corner, amd my friends boss kicked him out. poor guy, too much discrimination, even against public urinators
Was he a black wordsmith? Then he would be a blacksmith. Word.
Postal workers never go crazy
I love to tinkle outside
Maybe he wanted only to use the elevator and they thought he said urinator. These misunderstandings are a large part of life today.
Boston Rocks
You’re in eighter
I suppose they’re nice, but I prefer the ones on Montauk.
tinkling outside is so gratifying
This thread 488
I know a postal worker who was killed in a stampede.
Especially in the snow… I like to pee my name in cursive
Leaking in the Moonlight? Didn’t Van Morrison do that one?
Did he lick to death?
And if I see DelZ on defense one more time, I….
There’s Marchant again, sticking his nose in where it don’t belong!
Tinkle tinkle little star…,
are either of u familiar with the korean squat?
Is that weightlifting related?
Is that an olympid sport? I think I heard of it.
try olympic
Is that what you get at the end of the work day in No Korea?
Marchand goes offside when his skates hit the redline.
Good golf course
Something like an oriental cumquat?
Watching Michael moore’s Fahrenheit 911 – great flick
Tiki is like the Oracle at Delphi. You ask it a question, then it tells you to go home and it will get back to you.
Is the Korean squat = Korean zero
Michael Moore ate Chris Christie
it is often used by humans to defecate. apparently, there are different benefits to different human defecation postures.
Speaking of good subject verb agreement see my above post
tis all about the anorectal angles
Golden showers and brown outs…. My kind of language…. Heck with who is playing left wing…..
That’s why there are no lights on at night in No Korea. They’re practicing defecation postures. I love Oriental wisdom.
im going to get myself a squat toilet
The angle of the dangle is equal to the heat of the meat
who is correct in that context, well done.
I typically pee under water while standing…,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Squat-toilet-with-tank.jpg
too cool
Who are you? Who’s Next? Who by numbers!
i as well e3
While having conversations with colleagues in the Monteray Club pool?
Like dropping an anchor
Who dat say dey gonna beat dem saints?
I never go underwater….
Tiki – that water was cold…..and deep
indeed. no better place than a heated ritz carlton pool.
I get a wry smile on my face as I go…
I used to live in a ritzy neighborhood before my ex wife took the house, and we had a wealthy neighbor who owned diners and had a huuuuge mediterranean with a large pool and he invited everyone over for a swim brunch. He had a sign at poolside that said, “We don’t swim in your toilet, don’t piss in our pool.” Needless to say, the investment bankers and corporate lawyers found him to be undistinguished and never returned. True
I have a Rye sense of humor, but you have to know Westchester to appreciate it.
The catcher in the…..
nouveau rich, I believe was the term they used.
riche
I would have peed on his diners’ floors
Mike Piazza’s book about his drinking problem
there once was a. man named stu, he liked to eat his own poo, this is nothing new, tis true
Read James’ the American – captures true nouveau riche
He said his mansion had four flaws, but I couldn’t pick them out until he said he was talking about stories.
I peed on the F train once
is he going to call another presser to announce hes gay
Read The Bostonians
On it, or in it? Be specific.
Divorce ain’t cool when your ex gets the house!!!
Cops in NYC told me, he and Sam Champion had a lovers’ quarrel they had to respond to.
You’re right in it…. Going from the city to queens
not gay*. i poo’ed in a parking lot once, and on a restaurant bathroom floor once (the restaurant closed down not long after), among many other unusual places.
She was a good housekeeper.
I ended up at the time in a rented penthouse condom.
Ain’t pretty when you have to rent a condom, especially used
In 2013 being gay shouldn’t be a concern no more than you have blue eyes imo
I have pooped outside many times….. In a lake is the best
When I was in Frisco, I was mugged. Two guys held me down while the other one did my hair. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
I had a great condom when I lived in SD….. Fit me like a glove
SF has 1 or 2 gay people
in a pool! course not coos.
oj simpsons glove?
I love the SF gay parade…. That is a hoot
I will not do it in a pool; I will not do it in a school. Sam I am
If it fit you gotsta acquit
Is that where Johnny Podres came from, San Diego?
You have not lived until have squeezed out a deuce in a lake
Ted Williams
Lucky you didn’t run into Nicole Brown. OJ don’t like no waiters with tans
I don’t swim in your toilet, please pee in my sink
cryonics
The juice was loose
I think one Ted Williams and one Bobby Knight will suffice. No re-runs.
That was a crazy month – June 1994
Unlimited OJ tho
I stayed once in the Mayflower Hotel in DC and a dripping sink was keeping me awake, so I called the desk and told the guy ‘I got a leak in my sink.’ He said, ‘Do whatever you want.’
Where did tiki go?
Lolololol – that’s funny
That one’s not true.
frozen head ted? I think the juice was innocent.
The Oracle of Delphi
That was funny
If by innocent you mean psychopath, I’m with you
Tiki – you are a Red Sox fan, yes?
Ted killed nicole brown and goldman
If the juice didnt do it, it must have been me
and he framed roger rabbit
I killed….oh wait, that wasn’t me.
The ford bronco chase was great theater
“That wasn’t I” is the correct usage, but have you ever heard anyone use it?
Indeed, e3. The cranberry juice i just consumed is innocent. Not orenthal
His buddy, the driver was never charged with anything
Kato Kaitlin – one of the brightest minds to walk this earth
There’s a blast from the past.
I killed curt schilling, true story from the year 2020.
He was a matinee idol for his 15 minute Andy Warhol walk-on.
I say tomato me say tomato
lololo You sock him to death, Tik? bloody shame.
I still remember kato’s face haha.
Curt schilling put ketchup on his stirrup and called it blood … Total poser
The trial was great theater too
Talk about an incompetent prosecution. Those two are still on the talk circuit, collecting checks
Marsha Clark – perry mason’s equal
Im spending life in prison in boston after my conviction in 2021. My fellow inmates there dont much like me. I continue repeating 18-1 even whilst im being given the poo poo platter.
Life is the flash of a firefly in the night. It is the breath of the buffalo in the winter. It is the little shadow which runs across the grass and loses itself in the sunset.
This is the kind of thing that drove the indians to drink
No kidding – I could have prosecuted that case and won…. Of course, I would have peed in the courtroom ….
Have you seen my khakis? (Boston car keys)
Tv perry mason died :(
I was in grade school, they announced oj verdict over speaker system, i was only uno in class to cheer.
That was a great Super Bowl win.. I have a feeling the rangers will play the bruins this playoff season.
Ironhips
Lololo
Better lawyer? Perry mason or Susan Dey?
Raymond Burr was another one the cops found nude and handcuffed to a radiator in NY
Not that that makes him a bad person.
As do i. Rangers bruins. A fight to the death.
If Daniel Day Lewis married Ray Lewis, he’d be …class?
When im arrested, i want to be hauled in nude.
And then, if they were divorced and he married Jerry Lewis, that would be funny.
Raymond Burr? Who knew? Bob Crane really floored me.
He’d be Daniel Day Lewis Lewis Lewis
Like catch 22’s Major Major Major
Seems like Crane’s story was well known by the Hollywood crowd, but radar-ed.
Hey – how minutes will Staal get tomorrow?
Dom Deluise also (from the cops) I feel like Jimmy Breslin with the cop stories
Hollywood is a freak fest
It’s about time for Torts to start experimenting with lines. I mean…scratch that
Tough way to go
Brad dom deluise-o? Who’s that hollywood guy that’s been in children disappearance scandals? I think its mark wahlberg
I wonder who will play center for the whale to open next game
Imagine if Marchand had a habit? How much does he make? Not enough.
lolo Whale
Market mark???? What have you heard?
Let’s bring up Herman Munster! Clean the gdamned crease!
Marky
I just repeated a chris bermanism. Shoot me now.
They brought up that kid who beat no one up and he had almost a week. What kind of….is this?
I’m falling asleep
We fought the good fight. and gave Carp little to complain about. All in all, well done, I say.
I need to go my bruthas…. My herbal remedy is kicking in
Night, all
I heard marky is into unsavory things, woman and elder abuse, child trafficking.
Indeed
No way tiki? Really?
Tell more- I’ll read about it when I wake!!! Peace out my brutha!!!
Just as a point of interest: Jagr has 7 goals and equal assists in Dallas and they are paying him with a bag of pucks. Gaborik has 7 goals….hmmmm. The old guy could have been a good third liner.
Kind of disgraceful of our fans getting kicks out of Richards writhing in pain on the ice. You guys sound like Buffalo fans you shmucks
I can comiserate with anyone who underwent the agony of passing a kidney stone. Never happened to me thank God, but I recall years ago
Gordy Howe describing one that he went thru, and he said that the pain was so dreadful that he actually cried.
I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my own weblog and was wondering what all is required to get setup? I’m assuming having a blog like yours would cost
a pretty penny? I’m not very internet smart so I’m not 100% sure. Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated.
