Game 22.
Rangers at Islanders.
Ya boys have won three in a row as they start the road-heavy portion of their schedule at MSG East. They will 
play 17 of the final 27 on the road. After Ottawa at home tomorrow, they go on a four-game trip.
Roman Hamrlik will likely make his Rangers debut against his former team, and Micheal Haley will also play against his former team, which will employ Officer Joe Boulton, who was quite active in the slashing/fighting festivities in Rangers-Devils last season.
Brad Richards (back/neck) will not play. Marc Staal (eye) is out indefinitely.

Coos, sorry I missed the late nite. Read it in reverse, mad a lot more sense than usual. I think I’m holding the late nite pack back.
CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP
Lloyd, back to the last one (and the final baseball related comment), “catching his singles” meant just that. There’s a wide variance in hit luck from year to year, most of it not attributable to anything beyond random luck. Melky had a very lucky year last year so, even if he took more super PEDs for this coming season, he’d likely play worse. Its basically the same as Boyle’s peak goal season; he probably wasn’t any better, his shooting percentage was just randomly high for one outlier period of time.
I REPEAT WE NEED TO BEAT THESE GUYS BAD!!!!
Hedberg
But will he fall before or after he scores a goal tonight.
It is time!!!!! (for those of you who have trouble reading vertical)
Do it for Staalsie!!! Do it for NYR_FAN’s birthday !!!! DO for the streak!!! DO IT for Haley!!!!!

Twice, LW.
Tim Horton’s rollllluuuppp yer cup and win!
Double Dale!
Ummm.. a little empty at Mausoleum
in the words of Adam Sandler in Big Daddy, let’s do it, Rangers
RANGERS gametime is….NOW!!!
Is Nabokov already in HOF? Sam and Joe sure think so
he’s got lousy numbers but that’s no indication of how well he’s played
So, I’m 2 hours behind…that means the game is already over before I tune in? I hate these time-travel paradoxi!
Nice nifty little pass from Miller.
Greg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
C3, you’re getting through….amazingly :) come on back….
LIE = hartnelling carcillo!
Bickel forgot to take a penalty on his shift.
cut it out, CCCP.
hmmm…..
Bickel forgot to take one stride to hit the red line on that shift.
Haley = Middleweight
Has Boyle scored yet?
oh boy what a lazy play by Hagelin to let Boyes in behind him…
Nice snag with Duane Sutter in the doorstep
Not a very high percentage play by MDZ there
ilb, so negative :) is baby ilb asleep :)
fug…..
cut what out? i dont think i said anything bad…not sure why my comments were banned
Not generating enough offense again.
What the holey hell is going on here!!!!????
First Nash shoots from the blueline , then every Ranger is shooting from the slot!!!??? NO passes?????
NO PASSES!!!???? COME ON!!!!
There azzlander SUCK!!!!!!
LETS GO LETS GO LETS GO!!!!
Stop playing like an idividuals , alot of Rangers look SLOPPY!!!!!
Carp, C3 has been good, he promised me, and I believe…something is amiss….
Greg, breathe…........:)
Nice check by Boyle there on Powe.
where the fug is everyone????
can we fast forward this game to the third period? I wanna see Nash go wild again.
Laurel
i think everyone’s comments are awaiting moderation ;)
FCK isn’t acceptable, CCCP. I can explain why your other comment went to spam if you want to know, via email. rcarpini@lohud.com
you didn’t do anything wrong. It has to do with the spam filter.
Looks like the Islanders are playing in the Stanley Cup and the Rangers playing the last game of the preseason.
We are here, mama. I think
Caber 2.0 hasn’t looked too bad yet.
F.C.K as in Furiously Cute Kittens isn’t acceptable? :P
Boyle…. To the weight room … Tomorrow.
spam = bad canned meat
ilb, kisses to baby ilb….shhhhhhh :)
The weakest 6 7” 250 lbs hockey player in the world.
Eminger playing well.
Wow, Hamrlik is slooooowwwwww…..
cut it out, C3. not even a little amusing.
I see this is Boyle’s fault already.
Boyle gives good boards.
Carp…. HAMR is “running on fumes” according to Dave Maloney…
Stars of the game 1st Intermission
1. Blogmama
2. Eminger
3. Papa Bear
Carp’s in a bad mood?
Bickel played only 31 seconds less than Gaborik in that period.
need gaborik to do something..
boyle score tonight, i would not make that bet.
i can’t believe we miss richards..literally we have 5 forwards who could not score with no goalie in the net….
Carp
It is not his fault. But when when you are in scoring position down low, you should not be out muscled by a player 50lbs less than you, no?
They didn’t give them an easy outlet from their zone, and didn’t give them free pass through neutral zone the last few minutes. And that’s why they looked better
bickell with only 1 moronic play. a icing that could have been eliminated if he moves his body about 2 more feet. someone may try to explain the rules to him…
gaborik and bickell played about equal level in that period and it is not because bickell increased his play….
Carp, I trying to give hime some training advice….not blaming him.
Stuart
Who is Gaborik?
L3 – He was rolling 4 lines, no?
eminger is not scoring from the slot unless there is traffic in front…
stepan best ranger forward in the 1st, not saying much….
Im calm Mommaa … Breath in …breath out…
“IT’S CARCILLO!”
Great 3 stars Papa bear!!!!
LETS GO RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANGERS!!!
I MEAN IT , LETS START THIS PARTAY …GET THIS PARTY STARTED!!!!!
Yeah, PB, due to the game tomorrow, I guess. Just can’t remember the last time Bickel played four minutes in a period.
slgd
Carp’s getting the shoeshine box out for CCCP hahahaa!!!
Ease up Freddy Krugar its a family show…
Everything is gonna be alright…
It’s not third period yet…so Nasher has time to win this game…
And, we know Callahan can take over a game…
And, Gaborik is overdue …he will break out….
This is game 7 for the Isles…at home…let’s win the Cup in their building tonight…
As if Duguay would damage his fine coiffure under a rusty Jofa.
Jofa!
Grg!! How you been? How’s the Suck-such-kowan? :P
Flyers 4 Pens 1 after 1. Washington 4 Panthers 0 after 1.

Period 2. NOW COME ON!!!!!
Zac Rinaldo has two points already in this week’s Steelers-Eagles game.

“How about Joe Girardi’s period, Dan?”
Hagelin should pull his face shield down…it ain’t doing anything up over his forehead.

Ye Sam I dont think that chant was “Henrik Henrik”
I just remembered where I recognized hamerlik from, he’s that guy that turned around in this scrum to be all tough and then crapped himself when he saw it was Simon lol

ok ok what foes this guy mean by that ” ekjls ldskl ” ????
Doing great here Freddy , nice n Snowy BOOOOOOOO!!!!
LETS GO NASH LETS GO NASH… Gaborik has lost the puck 2,534 times since hes been here and Nash has taken the puck away and has kept it 2,543 times!!! What is wrong with this picture!!??
Wheres Olga ? Watching the blackhawks?
Cccp
It’s pronounced samsquatch
stgtts, how many more?
29342
Miller just GIVES the puck away!!?? NO puck possesion , him and Gaborik NEED to goto control the puck school.
They’ve decided to make Hank earn his check tonight. Might work, if they score
stgtts, please cut it out. I am asking nicely.
ahhh Wicky , thats how its speelt. hahaaaa!!
Orr would say something right about now…
Boyle outmuscled by Cizykas! What a joke!
that whole flurry was because Pyatt didn’t get it deep, turned it over as the Rangers were changing with the long change in the second period.
That’s it boys..just keep giving guys who can score goals every chance possible..see where it gets ya
When did we get Gaborik?
Joe: Hamrlik makes a hit, dislodges the puck, makes a play.
Uh, yes, no and no.
LET THEM FIGHT YOU BASTARDS!!
Pyatt is one of those guys playing top 6 minutes but doesn’t do the things nearly as well as most players did on last year’s team.
The linesmen are a joke. They let staged fights go, but when two guys in the limits of the game want to get at it, they break it up.
ha! Carp…I think Hamrlik was just in the way.
PP…no Richards…uh oh!
4th line playing much better
Caber 2.0, Staal.
If Finley and Bickel go as soon as the get out, Would that be a staged fight?
Gabby needs another benching. That entire sequence in the zone was a direct result of his not getting the puck out when he easily could have. He is just not engaged in the game.
I wonder if this commercial for Honey Do Men is SUPPOSED to be that god-awful..
So will Bickel and that other dude drop them immediately after stepping out of the box??
FIGHT!
never mind…
So the NHL only allows staged fights?
yes Joe and 1…4…
it ain’t working…
1 pck on th ice
yet…
Remember when Gaborik scored goals?
Gabby passing really well on pp
Cut it out, Carp :P
Why wasn’t this 4 on 3 ?
come come come! i clean i clean!
anybody seen Girardi since he blocked that shot?
This team is an epic-disaster. pure garbage. Can’t get ONE past this clown Nabakov.
Bush-league.
2 prds gn by
delayed penalty and Bickel and Haley don’t immediately go to the bench?
4th line draws another penalty
Islanders take a penalty and Islanders fans cheer knowing another 2 scoreless minutes are upcoming
no danny g for a whilw
someone left…
-4th-3rd Line
Oh dear..
No Carp, have not seen Girardi since then. Yikes, thank goodness for Hank.
Unbelievable
So WHY is Gaborik on the PP point???
I have no idea, kern.
Islanders looked good on our PP.
Nice rush by McDonut.
This power play really does suck. These guys stand around. they rarely know where each other are and the guys playing the point act like there blue line is on fire.
Boyle is a streaky non-goal scorer
Hamrlik looks like Dustin Byfuglien. When he was in shape
Terrible play by Miller.
And Boyle is GARBAGE.
Hate to state the obvious but Ranger’s PP looks terrible and Hamrlik does look slow – but in fairness to Hamrlik, I think this is the 5th game he’s played – will he get his legs under him or is he just too old?
Yup, the stand around and wait for somebody to do something power play formation.
Girardi’s back.
There’s the Gman.
mdz is tough to watch on pp – when he has time, he is lost in space
Hamrlik didn’t play in like 16 of Washington’s last 17 games. So, yeah, he’s got to be out of shape … and yeah, it’s always a good idea to pick up the garbage from a mediocre team.
3 ps in pppy
Can’t wait for the exact same MSG 150.
That’s two periods. When do the Rangers play?
motherhartneller! come on boys!!
Time and Space.. I like it.
no offense if any of you are related to him, but Girardi has to be the worst offensive defenseman in the history of the NHL
Thank goodness this period is over. It was like watching a documentary on the Bay of Pigs.
It’s Nash Time!!!!!!!!
CARP, well stated about Garbage and Hamrlik … unbelievable.
I can’t wait for the 15 minute alarm I just set to go off, so I don’t have to see MSG 150.
Felt like the Rangers had a lot of offensive zone time in that period, but barely a scoring chance, while the Isles got in the Rangers’ zone about six times with a scoring chance every time.
that hamrlick-Auntie Em pairing bring back some bad memories
I Know the Islanders aren’t as bad as we all still wish they were, but for a team with some talent the Rangers sure know how to make it look like they’ll never score again
Carp, I’m so frustrated with these guys right now I forgot not to do what I just did lol.
I’m switching to QVC rather than watch this intermission disaster
The problem is that once again we have 7 fourth line forward players in the lineup. And yes, I am including Gabby in hat group by virtue of his play tonight.
Worse than Boyler when he played defense????
I thought that last Nash wide rush was gonna be another of his special goals
Thanks Papa! Wow, I take a game break and all heck breaks loose….wtb?
Gaborik hasn’t been the same since Torts tore a strip out him last year. Or it could be that he comming back from a major surgery.
With Staal out indefinitely, is it too early to start looking for a rental D-man we could acquire by only giving up a mid round pick for or stick with Eminger, Gilroy, and Hamrlik?
Strip of what?
That Howie Rose is a good looking devil eh!
Perfect for radio
Our buddy Gross coming up on radio Carp….miss you there :)
Nash has the puck alone at the end there and he actually pulled a gorik and lost it. Bad ice cost us a goal : (
nabokov has not been sharp. rangers with very few high level opptys.
my whipping boys are giving me a lot of ammo.. boyle nad gaborik SUCK…
seriously you have to be drunk not to see that.
gaborik is a floater, europansy, joke.
boyle can’t even skate… his hardest hit tonight was on powe.
so the yhave powe, boyle, halpern, bickell, and haley with a grand total of zero goals on the season. they need to bring up more skill ie; kreider…gaborik is 1 of the top 6, he has done zero in games….
what a joke….elite.. how about drop the e lite… he plaiys a lite game, almost invisible….....
decline the next penalty.
what a joke the pp is!!
my nightmare is the islanders get a PP and score in about 5 seconds.
lundqvist has been great in the game so far , nabakov can read a boook out there…..
Fat guy- here’s my problem with them:
They never seem to be “up” for ANY opponent. People say the rivalry between the Isles and Rangers is dead. I got news for you it’s dead for the same reason the Rangers- Devils and Rangers- Flyers and Rangers- Penguins games don’t define “rivalry” because they do not come out with fire in their step against divisional opponents or any other opponent for that matter. It took Richards getting split in half by Kaleta for them to show any kind of testicular fortitude against Buffalo..They were neck and neck with Philly until Nash owned the third and now they’re going into the 3rd period where if they let up an early one it’s going to be over.
And apparently the offensive philosophy is now going to be “look for Nash he’s got sick hands”...the power play looks as awful as it did back in the GET IT TO JAGS days..
A strip of checkaslavacyheah
Hope we get to hear the Daneyko anthem again…
Prust…having quite a season…Prust sayin’
4 gls in thrd prd
Enough already with the Prust talk. It’s like another Mike York epidemic lol
BIG TIME PERIOD folks!!!!
Everyone know what time it is ….?????
RANGER GOAL TIME ZZZZZZ!!!!
Is this thing on?...
NASH TIME!!!!!!
WOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
LETS GO LETS GO LETS GO LETS GO!!!!!!!!!
You’d think with all the ex-islanders on the team, we’d be playing them more even…
It’s PEANUT BUTTER AND LOSS TIME!
ummm no Momma Nash time…um its his time.
NASH TIME!!!!!!
GOTTA LOVE IT!!!!
Does Dugauy own stock in Paisley
3rd period IS Nash time
PEANUT PEANUT PEANUT!!!!
GMen, as I recall, the price for D-men better than Eminger was pretty steep last year, and they weren’t clearly better than Eminger.
Rick Nash “Get on my backs boys, I’m taking you home”
Eminger is playing well.
.... one back…not backs
Good game after 2. Looks like Nash is the one who is going to do something. We need somebody else to take charge to get at least a point.
Trips e, Does he live in the village?
5 ptts in th snd
Nash walks late into the dressing room after the 2nd period …he interupts Torts as he tells his team ..IT IS MY TIME!!! Torts does not say a word.
Stuart a is absolutely right in his assessment of this game thus far.
my bad Greg…I figure anybody’s goal is good…but you’re right….third period!
is that you, 22?
Is it me OR is Gaborik going in slow motion??
The Nash Bash….yo gonna crash
I really need fishsticks for dinner….come on!!!
Are 3rd line getting beat by their 4th line
Almost
Nash
Nash wasnt worth it
I wish hamr would score already so I can start using my vowels again
Rangers = passes in skates
Grabber, 2nd coming of Bobby Bourne?
Pens have come back from 3 goals down to tie the Flyers at 4.
this game is seriously Aristophenes
A Boyle Blast
Getting blanked by the Great Nabokov…
Nash time
Rangers seam snake bitten.
Lolita’s author playing tough
Boyle blast = wide of net
Hagelin having a rare bad game.
Something’s wrong with Gaborik. He’s not even scoring against the Islanders!!
Nabokov and Flying Lolitas
“Babu, You’re a very very good man.”
need a bounce
“Nobody is sicker than me”
Oleo
Nobody is scoring against the islanders
Stuart – I sense you dont think Boyle is elite
every time i hear his name I cringe E3
“This isn’t fair. This is address discrimination!”
Jerry, you are a very very bad man
“That stuff is unbelievable. I’d eat it out of a dumpster.”
Boyle an elite 5th liner
Man, is this game so bad we’re reduced to this so early….I may cry
Classic .500 hockey
Go eat the stumps….
Pull Hank
Please trade Boyle
Dd dd dd said pull hank
Mediocrity.
This is in the bag…no worries…i feel it
Dd dd dd said he feels his bag
“Coming up: ‘Coming up: The Foxwoods Final Five’”
Ice Mets playing lock down defense. Ugh…
Two lines. That’s 50% waste.
Watching this game, that’s a total waste.
Can’t buy a goal.
It better happen quick E3
It’s almost Foxwoods Final Five time
Get off the ice Boyle, and STAY off
Author of Lolita is shutting us down.
If it wasn’t for Lundqvist, this game should’ve been over lonnnnggg ago….
Unbelievable….this will be our next loss? I am not happy…..at all.
Wouldn’t want a chance like that to fall to anyone else but Powe.
no panic….
Pens have scored 4 straight, lead 5-4. Caps 6-0 over Florida.
hows it lookin heads?
Gotta give the Brooklyn Ice Mutts credit, they are focused and haven’t given up much.
Boyle is absolute garbage. How is he a better play than a young, hungry kid with big upside? I’m talkin bout Kreider (shut yo mouth)
Rangers tie then win this game….season changer….LGR
Hallelujah!!!!!
FUGGGGGGGGGGG YEAAAAAAAAAAAA
Finally
NASH
Nashmaster
Gee, it had to come sooner or later. Monster Nash AGAIN! 1-1.
Yeeehaw!

He’s pretty good

Gaborik not clutch in OT again.
That’s at least five OT goals by Gaborik the last two seasons—including the triple-OT winner—and three of those on the 4-on-3 PP.

E3…..can you tell us the final score of tomorrow’s game?
I’d like to place a bet
Was just about to say it, Carp. Could be more than 5.
hallelujah gabby got a goal….finally he shot the damn puck…
he still is not elite. score 6 goals in 4 games, score 12 goals in 16 games and then talk to me..
stepan, nash, and hagelin by far thee best forwards.
take the points and move on…. stole 2 pts.
you are all watching a replay….i saw the game earlier today…
admiaral akbar , i say gabby has been playing horrible. that point is not disputable. that was a 4 on 3 PP.. you are suppose to score…....
Isles can’t wait until they officially change names to the Brooklyn Bullet Shells
E3=Swami
Gbba Gbba Gbba
2 points were gift from Lundqvist
What shame that the GREAT!!!!! Rick Nash had to languish and play with a crap of an organization for so many years. But that is the only reason why we got him. Oh and a big kudos to him for holding firm and not excepting any trade other than to us. This is a kid who wanted to play here and only here.
Stupid, Stupid point but how is Grabner the Islanders Star of the game? He took the penalty that lost the game for them.
Did MSG not see Nabokov? I feel bad when Nabokov loses because I know he hates the Islanders as much as I do (and slightly less than Visnovsky)
Thoughts on Hamr? I didn’t see any glaring mistakes or chasing…invisible is good?
yeah Bill Pee doe , I even lose confidence in the bedroom sometimes .
DooGay calling for Gabby to be put on Nash’s line…
NO WAY!!!

This is so funny I read it to Mrs. Manny and even she laughed for a good 20 seconds. Good one Duberstein.
MSG says the Rangers have a point in 19 straight games against the Islanders and then shows a record of 13-3-3. huh?
My daughter’s diaper has lees colors than Duguay’s shirt. Even after I have to change it.
5-4 ice chickens over Philty with 2 back up goalies in
Gabby loves the Islanders
Gaborik loves scoring against the Fishsticks. He’s now going back to hibernation.
Nash and Gaborik can play on the same line on the PP if Stepan is their center. Other than that Hagelin-Stepan-Nash has to stay together.
Derbils tie it up… OT
I didn’t have sound what was Capuano barking about?
Philly loses
Nabokov left the gate open…..!!!
Mnny – is mrs. Mnny ok with giving up your vowels for at least a few more days?

capuano and opKoso yapping over the call. that was a penalty on the mdz play obvious call.
the key was the rangers had zero PK opptys.
huge..
It sounded like Borat was yelling, “lets go!”
I love that Rangers never said what Nash’s last injury was. That’s the way it should be.
except for MDZ’s Bonehead pass at blueline during pp and Girardi’s no look pass after him and McD played pattycake with the puk in dzone…...i was pretty calm
and non-yell-y.
btw,
anyone else notice this? we just played the flyers and islanders and there were no fighting majors!
Is Duguay serious that the injury to Nash was the best thing that could have happened to him? Does this guy ever make any sense?
Jpg
No fighting majors—Haley’s presence is an equalizer. Pax Atomica.
Funny…they were playing Funeral for a Friend in the Mausleum during the Fishsticks timeout
Sucks to be them!
hey
eddie eddie eddie
went to meet mrs. jpg and jpg’s mom-in-law
for dinner tonight
and when i got to restaurant
radio was playing the Smiths’ “Sheila Take a Bow”
dinner over
got in the car
and
the Smiths’ “Ask”
just started
felt like good omens.
didn’t make me feel sad….at all
I don’t get how anyone can stand to watch pre/post game shows.
Carp
Doogay inferred that Nash needed a few games to rest. Not that the injury was a good thing per se..
Is this a new golden age for original six teams? Maybe not Detroit, but they haven’t truly sucked in 30 years
also, Duguay wouldn’t know this because he’s never around the team at all, but Nash isn’t a “happy camper now.” He’s been the same way all year in terms of temperament, and he played darn good hockey even when he only had three goals.
Umm… 4 games on IR was the best thing happened to Nash? I’m having hearing problems I’m afraid
not to mention that it almost certainly was a concussion, ilb. Those are always good for you.
The Mausoleum is louder than MsG –
More die hard rangers fans show up at the mausoleum than at MSG.
I think duguay has a concussion
And a bad rug
JPG – just like everybody else does…...
The epic game ends at last with a much fought for victory’
Yet I cannot help but say that it was the strangest game I’ve watched in a long time. It was like the Rangers playing against the rangers. They seemed almost like mirror images of one another in their stye, speed, puck handling and shooting with one small ecception….I felt that the REAL Rangers were dping too much soft wrist shooting from way out rather than barreling in and attacking the goal area. Resting on their laurels perhaps? But Lundqvist alone saved them from totally embarrassing themselves with his one after another fending off one tough shot after another. He was my personal star of the game.
Admiral, he needed a rest after 13 or 14 games? Asinine.
What makes Duguay even worse is that we lose Leetchie when he’s on. I want Leetchie for my post game!!
Muckler dying was best ever to happen to him
Fran
As I said before:
Thank Lundqvist for this game
Really – cant MSG get anyone better than Doogie Howser? He was a disappointing player on a series of bad teams. What about Gresch or, gulp, one of the guys from 94 that actually has a Cup pedigree
Thing
That’s an awesome UNICEF commercial.
Duguay is pretty
i feel things
Carp
Perhaps doogay was implying Nash needed a “mental rest”
I don’t see Duguay’s logic as very sound.
Ooh la la Sasoon.
Duguay tries to go toe to toe with Daneyko and Goring but when he leaves the set they must just laugh at him and fist bump their Cup rings. At least Maloney seems to show some deference and respect
One of you knows someone whose name has an A in it
Ft gy said gulp
Ft Gy
Wasn’t DuGuay on the 1979 cup finals team?
I am getting very strong signals. Someone on this blog has parents
One of you is left handed
ya know eddiex3=eddieeddieeddie
since my white noise machine needs batteries
i might have to just set my Pandora
on Smiths station and go to sleep with that playing
tonight.
The Cure.
LMGO, Eddie
‘Night, heads!
Drinking a lovely Piper-Heidsieck extra dry champers with raspberries….
i know i’ve gotten into late night commenting mood
i think because i’m just fairly calm right now.
there wasn’t a major nasty aspect to this game
so there wasn’t much to get me riled up
already mentioned the 2 things that did
wasn’t surprised by the isles goal
because they were 1/2 a step ahead of us
but we never quite looked out of it
especially as the game went on
Yes and he thinks its still 1979 and that he matters
Goring has 4 rings and the isles get bowed to but Daneyko has three that could easily have been FIVE and the bums from Joisey get Ming…bupkus
ya mon great win, game over season over prust
Creatures of the night beware
Ft Gy
Are saying the Derbils are overlooked in favor of the Icelanders?
JPG – ask Reggie Cray
We should start using Prust as a verb for everything, like smurf
Admiral
i worked at a record store (yeah, i said record!)
and a bunch of the Cure’s Disintigration cassettes
were manufactured incorrectly
tape was flipped so it kinda played songs backwards
didn’t sound too different
i enjoyed playing it that way
Anyone who believes in psychokinesis, raise my hand.
love when gabby scores and shuts up the haters. after like 120 goals this guy has scored as a ranger too
Dave’s looking more and more like the Big Whistle.
I’m saying the debs are never talked about as a latter day dynasty like Detroit and Colorado, I hate to say it but those Stevens teams were awesome…we begat them
jpg
That is an awesome story!
Disintegration is one of my ‘desert island’ discs. I wore out my first copy whilst still in college. Great music, from a grossly underrated band (like the Smiths)...
Im floating in the air – levitating
Papa, i just don’t think Leetch wants more games. he’s only about 1,000,000 times better. Spoke to Leetch a few days ago. He reads the blog.
I know
Carp
Does Leetch also read our comments? I think he may be the most beloved and respected Ranger of all time. Including Giacomin, Messier, Graves, Richter, Gilbert.
Grabner might have been beaten by Del Zotto, who made a great rush, but he took a “good penalty” to stop the goal, and his own goal was a highlight reel release and shot. Goalie should have got the star, but Grabner was good. I would like him on my team.
Dd dd dd – magic powers?
I’m not sure you can even tell what YOU’RE thinking
NORM!!!!
What’s goin down?
Leetch is dull
Fat guy – i am getting some vibes ….. You are breathing right this moment
Doogie Happy Days was better than Goring and the Gorilla put together, if you’re talking about Goring as an Isle. Give the little Sassoon devil his due. And he did say “no” when the little gremlin sitting next to him asked if Staal’s injury was a “motivator” in tonight’s win. What a nerdo.
I’d take Grabner, the guy wearing #91, Streit, Moulson, and/or Okposo on my team any day.
>>Dugay…Does this guy ever make any sense?
I couldn’t tell you; I tend to mute the TV when he’s talking.
I hope he doesn’t read the late niters.
Maybe he is New Bear?
Brian Leetch’s #2 will forever hang in the rafters.
Barely
More like snorting
Brian Leetch
if you are reading this right now
THANKS!
and
have a nice day
back from the coliseum 70% ranger fans in building. we winnnnnnnnnnnnn.
thought hamilik was the veteran d man we need and if he could play 12-15 a night like today he will be fine.
nash= beast
hank did the job
we winnnnnnnnn
Pinto = Gremlin
Lmfao!
O’McDonah excells while being overlooked.
Okposo… Keep him
Pinto = Pidto = Gremlin
Duguay and JR would have really stupid children…
Ft Gy—Mr. Peterson’s response in moderation…
You can tell Gaby is returning to form and to confidence when he utilizes patience with the puck.
Brian leetch – if you are reading this right now, get with the program and become Brn Ltch
okay this will mix up the two
saw the Cure in an arena in Cleveland
Robert Smith was wearing the hockey jersey of
the city’s minor league team, the Lumberjacks.
got a good photo of that!
also
he made efforts to tell jokes as his between song banter
but
he was so nervous that he’d zip through the punchline
so
you’d end up with thousands of people kinda laughing/cheering
to be nice while at the same time
they were turning to their right and left asking
“What did he say??!?!”
Zubov to Leetch , all alone., scores – Brian Leetch!!!!!
Torts said grinding
Jpg
When was this Cure show?
Show me show me how you do that trick….
I was in bay ridge for that goal and I think shots got fired into the air like at a Taliban wedding
Nobody reads this blog
Duguay > Barry Melrose
Tavares crying about the calls…
Crosby-esque.
Haha, stgtts.
Hey, maybe Stan can ask Skinny Capuano why he called timeout after the icing and immediately before the Nash goal.
Duguay > Barry Melrose
In what? Ferocity of mullet?
Carp – meetings go well today?
I had an incredible day :). Capped with a ranger win
Newbear Leetch has become quite sociable lately, hasn’t he?
Nope, nope, nope, eddie, eddie, eddie.
but they’re over. so that’s good, and I can go to MSG tomorrow.
Leetch has better things to do. Enough of the BS.
i think ‘92 for Wish album
What’s Paul Revere doing in the “charades” Geico commercial… Anyone guess?
newbear is verily improved. He must be out of forks.
Fire Sather!
Ah, then all is well….
Tomorrow always comes….
Rangers on fi-yuh
Messier to Zubov to Leetch—I was in a bar in Philly pretending to be a Canucks fan so they’d turn off the Phillies-Mets game. I sold it to the last three final whistles.
Hide the garlic
Was he recently in Venezuela?
Borat! Cousin!!
Hmm. newbear/leetch: Cheshire, Ct, IS the cutlery capitol of the nation. :)
Norm – I hoped you did PP on the floor.
Hope
I had nasty garlic mashed tonight for suppe.
“It’s unfortunate that it came down to a power play goal in overtime.”—Capuano
—-would you rather have lost in a Bettman Skills Competition after the hockey game???
Idiot.
Send him chopsticks
Mary Shelly is upon us
Hey capuano – don’t commit penalties
The floor was moistened from time to time.
Frank N. Stein
What time will the roll be called?
Flyers and Fishsticks – nice
You promised that and you were correct, e3.
new post.
Frank Lee
Frankie
Carped again!
Capuano would blame the soggy crust on his pizza on Con Ed.
I can’t go.
I’m staying over here, away from the night creatures.
Nasher = Soon to be All-Time Ranger Great
How do you guys like Gaby now? Sick shot.
LOL @ Skinny Capuano saying the refs didn’t give them any power plays even though they deserved them…
