I liked the toughness of last year’s Rangers better than the toughness of this year’s Rangers! Last year’s Rangers would have made this a very nasty game…
But this year’s Rangers have much more speed and skill…and they still need time together to gel…
I can’t believe how dead the Garden was on Friday night. Even after 2 tee-shirt tosses!!
Blackhawks are about to lose.
Ya hear that? Yes, that is the sound of hell freezing over…
It’s bird! It’s a plane! No! That is Olli Jokinen flying…
May the wind at your back not be your own.
May your dilly never dally, may your stream run strong and steady and be filled with fish
The Rangers not only didn’t convert, they jettisoned Rupp, their only chance at salvation. before I was briefly interrupted/
Still plenty of time for the Hawks.
C’mon, fellas, may the fire in your bathroom not reach the house. What do we got, a room full of dead people? The night of the living dead.
May you never be carped in mid sentence
I got the Hawks wingin’
Guess yelling “Paging John Mitchell” at MSG all night fired him up out west.
My whole house has been Carped, wall to wall. 2 more ‘awaiting moderations’ where the most evil word was “who.’
May your jangle always jingle, and may your wind be warm and moist.
Still plenty of time for the Hawks…to lose. ;)
Tomorrow’s the day before Sunday. Even eddie can’t get that one through.
Saturday
Satarday. I get it through.
Did anyone else hurl when Hamr and Stevie E. were out there together?
mssp
minus two
Eddie was on the wang train earlier today. He was on the express.
I did NYR.
Hamrlik really is Caber 2.0. Lets hope he gets his conditioning up before Staal gets back.
Eminger was a bit tough until the 3rd. When the snarl completely flew out of the building.
Go Aves!
Hamr might be the tough defenseman and the PP point we need (if he were 22.)
Saturn
He looked more like 69
I’d would love Hamr on my team….20 seasons ago…
If 69, he should play a tad more lasciviously.
And on the seventh day
wouldVibin’!
I got a Hamr on my team, he plays like finely tuned fiddle. He’s quite a fiddler.
The 6th day shall not be uttered
He’s into G string theory.
For the record, I thought Haley actually handled himself very well there tonight in the Phillips confrontation…
But, Phillips isn’t really a fighter…
Perfect example of why you need to get rid of the instigator…
I mean….Is Phillips supposed to take his helmet off in that situation or just unscrew the visor off?
Saturnday night
Put silk on a goat, and it’s still a goat.
May the angle of your dangle be equal to the heat of the meat
Seemed like comet Haley did a number on his knuckles on that helmet and visor. Where in hell is Ash?
He prefers to play G Clef in a minor 6 and 9 key
Bickel for Bickell
If you want to be an instigator, and play with the big boys, jettison the goggles or drop the gloves simultaneously.
I really can’t believe that Neil got out alive tonight. I more upset by his escape then the loss.
Bickell scores. Lead cut to 5-2
O’Reilly is quite card, crushes the Black Hawks, the other namesake aka HellFox either flew to Rome to watch the “smoke” or to Caracas for Chavez’s funeral
I more upset, too, Papa. Even more upsetter.
Ass-ham is at Canyon Ranch for the full monty
I don’t think Torts was on is game tonight. Fatigue perhaps,
Gotta go
Bickel for a nickel
Crazy that the ‘Hawks lose Sharp and lose so soon.
How the F did Stepan not score n that?
Beginning to think Bickel will be history. Haley and Ash can at the very least, skate and drop the odd one in ropes.
O’Byrne took out Sharp – big body squeeze along the boards
watch out for those Irish Avs…
Hawks, when I’ve seen them, play skilled but soft. Tough to get through the NHL rounds that way. Maybe I’m wrong.
The Family secret is out, Papa must rest before he goes to work, while I, at 41, still live with Papa and Mama Bear, WTF, the economy is baaad
Anyone know of a good barber in Saskatchewan?
I don’t mind Bickel – every team has 4th liners who can’t skate – just painful to watch
Step buries it and we are talking EC Finals
Problem when Nash scores so early in game…bad omen
Beginning to think Papa is a cop. Strange hours.
Newbear, pit stop. I had to go.
Must be at least a Deputy Chief.
I shot the Deputy, but I did not shoot the Chief!
What’s strange about my hours, Coos?
There is why Landeskog is a better Capt. than O’Reilly.
Sal Maglie, John. He’s in the Italian section of little Sask
I like Bickel, Stanger.
Sometimes you’re up late, sometimes you’re not. That’s the sign of someone who has some rhythm to his life, which I, of course, have never attained.
I’ve never been for a ride in a police car, either front or back seat.
John, the best suggestion is call Koil in Osbourne Village: Ask for Charles or Rob.
May your stick never be crooked.
I went to a g(j)ibberish blog and hockey discussion broke out.
Rhythm and tempo, it’s a wonderful thing. Internal metronome. Tic-Toc
They tied you to the roof? :)
Oh John Stoltz – they do the best “fade” cut in Winnipeg
I have Catholic friends who utilize the rhythm method. They won’t make love unless there’s a drummer in the room.
May your stick be long and true and covered with bark
I am confident that we bounce back Sunday
Thanks guys, it’s for my cousin. I haven’t needed a barber since my gender change.
In the trunk once.
Sure, it’s a grand old shillelagh me fadda brought from Ireland
And many a time he used it on me to make me understand
Chalice and chains – good grunge band
Oh E3, watch out, Coos lied, there are no lakes of Vitriol.
It is only availlabe in powder form – the law enforcement cannot tell it apart from illegal mollasses, similar to our hemp problem.
If they play 4/4 time, is it considered group activities?
Deputy Chiefs have chauffeurs. Clouseau even has a chauffeur. Don’t you, Inspector?
Aves really had their number. So close a few days back. And now, streak over.
I was a man before I was woman before I was a man
Hawks don’t win.
newbie is sharp tonight. He speaks not with forked tongue.
Rangers just have to do what we did last year now. Don’t lose back to back games. Keep winning. Keep winning.
I take vitriol when I’m all stuffed up.
What is an Ave, a prayer to Holy Mother Mary?
You strike a person of rhythm coos. I’m surprised to hear otherwise.
Ave Maria
PA Parenteau.
Good one, Glen.
I do not strike a person of rhythm. I strike you as a person of rhythm. If I were to strike a person of rhythm, I would assault Donald O’Connor.
Full of grace Kelly
What makes a man Mr. Lebowski?
amongst women. Tiki would like that one.
I tried to draw Clouseau out of his closet, but guess the knob was stuck.
You know him when he bowls you over.
Papa still here?
E3, do you inhale or make a potion? Need advice
Love Potion #9
That’s what I like about the nite creatures. miss a key here, misplace a comma here,, but you still get the gist of my mist.
The early crew, on the other hand, they start screaming about grammar and spelling, like they are all teachers or professors. My school days be over.
Manny – I need to watch that movie – never seen it
I do mind, the Dude minds. This will not stand, ya know, this aggression will not stand, man.
I called him a cop; I don’t think he will ever speak to me again.
Christ, I made him a Deputy Chief, not a patrolman!
If I want a grade, I’ll go climb a hill.
Eddie would rather not say. He rarely speaks for publication unless he has closely studied the petitioner’s bona fides.
” my school days be over” is not correct ….... “My days serving in the man’s jive educational system be over” is correct
lololo, PB This blog is the only place lately I actually laugh with sound. Smile a lot, though.
Papa, ain’t that the truth, a bunch of pedants who frequently confuse strategy and tactics, and vice versa, laughable, no?
Happy 26th, btw, Manny…
The phaonmneal pweor of the hmuan mnid, aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it dseno’t mtaetr in what oerdr the ltteres in a word are, the olny iproamtnt tihng is that the frsit and last ltteer be in the rghit pclae.

Azanmig huh? Yaeh and I awlyas tghuhot slpeling was ipmorantt!
The Bushmill is flowing. My eyes lids be drooping, but I’m still hanging on. I need some late night sensibility.
Manny – happy bday – you and my brutha from anutha be born moments apart
That was clearly plagiarized, Olga. Report to the Dean.
That wasn’t plagiarized! I copied it fair and square!
If I’m gonna be impotent might as well dress impotent
Olga, a typical Columbia School of Journalism rant – surely inspired by the great Jacques Barzun, no?
Trips e, you be spending 2 much of your precious time with the early shift. You Wanged them up today.
It’s easier to just speak Ebonics
There’s to much school vibes channeling right now. I’m to educated for this drivel.
Papa, please, go to bed or go to work, sothat I can stay in your house until I find work, pretty please…
Bushmills is in Norther Ireland. They will not drink it in the South. Only Jameson.
Papa – I don’t be thinking that the day shift be diggin my assen…. If you be axein me
Actually my sister sent it to me. I don’t know where she stole it from. She’s the plaigerizer…
Southern rebels say impotent when they mean important. See Jimmy Carter, et al.
too educated
Newbear speak with forked tongue
Lionel Trilling, newdie
My sister, Juwanna Folkyerself.
Did I say newdie? Tell me it ain’t so, bear.
My peeps be from ” church of cainnech”
Has momma found a new blog where she can express herself without fear of scatological correction?
Newbear – I breathe deep…. Vaporizer mostly
Try spelling tird with a u not I
My peeps are from the north.
Papa, if that is your perception, then please help me to unify my tongue…
I have ‘em both sides, Papa. Used to be some barbeque problems, but it’s died out.
It’s just a tine-y problemo, bear.
Mother is still held hostage to the archaic restraints of the Carlin inspired Supreme Court decision.
fire in the outhouse has died out, too.
Kinda miss Carlin. Quite a convoluted brain for a white, Irish guy.
Trips e, you still have some crossovers on the day shift. I hang in both places from time to time. Different place in the daytime. Tension reigns.
“Gaby on the first line, what are you, a moron?” kinda kills the give and take a bit.
Hawks suck
very few of those, though, thankfully.
Carlin got quite a bit more cynical towards the end. Not that I minded. Mostly he was right.
as opposed to a black, Irish guy.
Hawks can’t win on the freakin’ road, fer Cripes sake….
as opposed to a black, Irish guy.
A leprechoon?
More anger in the day shift papa – argue galore – here we just laugh and laugh
The Day shift is resembling of a fantasy league stuff, very reverent of Carp as they should be, and he never badgers them to much, it’s touching to observe
little tough in mixed company for me, sometimes. Had two daughters, had to tame the primordial beast. Now that they’re in Frisco and London, I can revive my filthy phonics.
Newbear, I’m joshing. You speak the truth and require no assistance from me.
I want to apologize for that last comment. However it was not the worst joke I could have made at that particular time. That’s my defense, and I’m sticking to it.
Gabby hasn’t scored in 32 games – .. ............ Yeah but he scored 40 + 5 years ago
funny is funny. damn the torpedoes, Olga! Hiyever, since I am a “person of color” hand me my Crayolas.
Papa wants to die in bed at 92, killed by a jealous husband, not forked to death in some Bolivian outback.
Coos, I thoroughly emphatize, I was lucky to have had a son whoom I drilled in the skating skills in the local rinks, so he was ready to actually play a travel hockey.
But I know mothers in Manhattan who forbid their sons to pee while standing up for fear of male aggressive stance
Olga – you are a funny mofo – you seriously crack me up
Coos, you’re a master of language, a most learned man. Well read and schooled in the art of communication. It is an honor to be in your presence here among the boneheads.
My mother used to wrap my grade school lunch in a map and she would say, “take chances.”
I’m a person of color myself… pasty white.
Papa Bear, you’ll always be my Papa, just please don’t trow me out there into the cold, cold marketplace
Olga have you ever danced an Irish jig?
Would you think less of me if I told you my true occupation was policing, Papa. After all, I may be the cop! But, what a truly welcoming statement.
I pee sitting down
Hide the drugs
Not a problem, e. I have huge triceps from lifting and replacing that damned toilet seat.
Kooz is the heat
Pull over, if you don’t mind. The kind policeman.
Papa, that was the worse joke that I referred to earlier.
Newbear, you are free, emancipated and self sufficient. I no longer control your destiny. Enjoy your freedom, but please, don’t eat all the salmon.
Sometimes I pee laying down. But fortunately, I don’t know it at the time…
Truck, written on side: ALEX AND SONS. Coos: “I’m afraid I’m going to have to ticket you for a lack of possessive.”
salmon lolol
I used to stand… But one time I dropped it and it cracked the tile…. Now I just wrap it around my waist 8 or 9 times then drop it underwater
Papa, I never touch the salmon, remember that movie, The guy said “it was the salmon”, what was the movie?
My wife complained about me not putting the toilet seat down. So I did as she asked. Then she complained about pee all over the seat.
How do you win those arguments?
Doodie had some funny wang jokes the other day….
Coos, learned and educated men may serve their communities in many different ways. Who am I too judge? If you are happy in your service, I am pleased.
Mother to son who is urinating on family pool table: “Harold, mind your pees and cues.”
Olga – that’s why I sit
Meaning of Life
The Salmon Mousse.
“But I didn’t eat the salmon…”
Or go outside – love a cool breeze blowing thru my package
Papa – thx for the backup on the shortened bench last night argument earlier…
Kooz – are you busting balls? You are a member of the Poe-lease?
I am not suited to serve any community whatsoever. I am a misanthrope. I hate mankind, but love individuals. I shouldn’t say hate. Perhaps I am too easily disappointed. Send money, guns, and lawyers.
Pocket pool is my game
That shortened bench dispute was very funny –
Lord of the Prongs
I am anti social too – funny given my profession
Madam, you are probably wondering why I pulled you over. May I see your
brassierelicense?Send in lawyers guns and money, the Carcillo has hit the fan.
Trips e, bought the argument to surface in the day time, that the rolling of two lines last night may result in diminishing returns tonight. It was met rather rudely by the blogger experts. It was affirming of my own hockey knowledge to learn that you saw a similar rationale for the drop in energy tonight. It was my pleasure to get your back.
Coos that’s a devastating confession
And yet, I am very social. Just have a distaste for repeated and flagrant, arrrogant incompetence. Send flowers and firearms.
That should have never gotten past the sensors. Are they sleeping or what?
Are we talking hockey now? Yes, Torts shortens the bench too much, thus in a regular season, burns out his stars and they run out of gas in the playoffs.
See last year.
Preamble to my first book:
Every life is in many days, day after day. We walk through ourselves, meeting robbers, ghosts, giants, old men, young men, wives, widows, brothers-in-love. But always meeting ourselves.
(James Joyce)
Thx papa – I owe you – I swear I saw only 2 lines rolling in the third – who you going to believe? LW or your own lying eyes?
Coos, I know – a fool is in danger when you be present, I will be careful the next time
coos, no one is totally useless. You can always serve as a bad example…
“Take the salmon, leave the fork” – Godfisher 1
They also serve who only stand and put on weight.
I am sure that if I were to manage this NHL franchise, we would be carrying the Cup along the Canyon of Heroes this June. I am sure…..... For I am the most knowledgable and talented GM not currently working for an NHL team in the land. Why don’t these boneheads acknowledge such?
Torts keep mixing up the lines. Last one was babo
Everything I tell you is a lie. Except this…
Olga – too many on here fail to see any connection with the shortened bench and last year’s drop off vs devils. I think mcD and Girardi playing 300 + minutes each in the 3 OT game had serious residual effect – no matter what anyone says – win the game – lose the war. Even they beat the devils – the kings would have swept the rangers…
Anthony Scalia: “Who am I to judge?”
Papa- You can beat Sather with both hands tied behind your back.
And I wish you would…
Masochist to the sadist “beat me”
Sadist – “no”
E3 and Papa, my observation: LW is forever angling for authority, but it may be that he never skated, held a stick, shot a puck, in his whole life. He was never hit so hard that it rattled his soul and he had to smile with clenched teeth, because it was a good hit and just said : Wait for the next time!!
Lets talk line combos and draft choices for the next 8 drafts
Doctor: You need surgery
“What’s it gonna cost?”
“Twenty two thousand dollars.”
“What do I got?”
“Twenty two thousand dollars.”
I’ll head butt him Slatsko.
How many seasons did Ranger coaches rely heavily on Lunqvist just to get into the playoffs? He was gassed before he ever reached the playoffs.
They solved that with Biron, but they still don’t use him enough.
I must step out for a few to see a lady about my pony.
When Torts didn’t send out Powe with that second line late in the first, I said,’game over.’ And I was right!
“You were right, AstonshedRangerFan. I saw it, too.
Doctor said I only have six months to live. I said “Doc. I can’t pay you right now”. He gave me another six months…
I think LW has a good wit. Busts cajones with more of an edge that I care for – rarely appreciates another’s good line – but if he’s really a Brit ( not convinced he is ) that explains it…
You never wore orange inside my house or my father would break you in two
“Are you both blind? Torts ran the first line out with the third line and substituted Bickel, and for a reason. Nitwits!”
Olga, you stepped it up for Coos, seriously, Haha
I think torts pulls names out of a hat half the time
Do you remember long ago when Boyle wore that greasy hat a lot?
Boyle won’t be wearing a sweater much less the hat
E3, I was a prisoner in many a house, and they liked it very much, just fir savings on the cable TV charges
“Doc, I’ve been losing my memory. What do I do?”
“Pay me in advance.”
My pops wouldn’t let us eat oranges in the house.
Beer-on should have played tonite – Hankie laid a stankie
Newbear – interesting observations I must say
Will the two of you be celebrating the festival next week?
“Papa said oy, if I get that boy,
I’m gonna stick him in the house of detention.”
I went to see my doctor.I told him, “Doctor, every morning when I get up and look in the mirror I feel like throwing up. What’s wrong with me? He said, “I don’t know, but your eyesight is perfect.”
Oh, Jerry, don’t let’s ask for the moon. We have the stars
Kid wore a Syracuse hoodie in my house one time – pops nearly shoved – 12 and 1/2 triple E up his assen
One of the top American songwriters of my generation.
Torts: hey boyle, you dum-ass, youse sittin tonite, gots it?
Boyle: okay tortles, is it because Bucky’s back?
Torts: no, I mean, yeah he’s back, but Haley be playin over your dum-ass
Boyle: wow, you really do think I’m no good…
We’re you 12 and 1/2 at the time triple e?
veeery clever, Chief!
You gots a mouse with its azz on fire running around your brain. Turn yourself in!
Papa – st. Paddy’s is big day for us – Irish stew ( no lamb) corned beef and cabbage…. Potatoes au gratin – onion soup – lots of Guinness
Is there an Indian in the house?
Prolly 12 yes. 12.5 his shoe size
Al MacInnes had a big head.
someone said last years team would had made this game a nasty one but I remember this same team kickin our assen for 7 games and basically having their way with our women and the livestock. and not necessarily in that order…
E no parade on the left coast?
Papa – e, the Master, nods.
Al McInnes had a great blast from point, sign him!
That, stranger, is somehow forgotten. Good point.
Is there an Indian in the house?
Sitting Bull or Gandhi?
(your 1:10)
Stranger, I said that during the game. 3rd period looked like the playoff series last year.. We were lucky to win that series. Ottawa is a good young team.
Everythin is on hold this year, St Paddy must wait till they elect the new Pope, no alcohol poisoning, no clan murder in the streets….
None to speak of papa – Monterey largely Italian. Most of the pubs – are Brit – few good places in SF – but no real parade like the city
Is Papa preparing us for a filthy, raucous Indian comment?
Pap, very true
very well coached by Teddy Roosevelt (Mt. Rushmore version). those bang and bang, charge the net, clog the neutral zone…
Brits like warm beer.
That puff of white smoke is coming out my roof for sure
Binghamton had their St. Patrick’s day parade on March 3rd.
Dumb Irish. Or is that redundant?
How many of the boys do you think are out hounding right now? Probably just the married guys.
they, not those
flippin Ipad typing blows
NB LMFAO (1:14)
St Patrick drove the snakes our of Ireland and they all came to NYC and become police officers.
Coos, stop trying to pin me with the ” filthy raucous one” rep here. I haven’t been modded in more than 3 days. I approach this like I’m talking to my daughter.
Indian? That Speaker Tris or that Feller Bob?
Bang the drum slowly please…
:)
S.nation – werd on iPad – I type like a moron on this thing
stranger said bang
Guys, we are fadin fast, pls step it up, greeks, will you
Damn yankees
Big Irish community in Savanah GA, Coos, not just NYC.
I believe that long ago, I was called a “maroon” on these pages. I interpreted it as a slur on my Native American Heritage.
I’m just hitting my stride NB
I became a Mason to get out of tickets traveling I95 to Fla.
Boomtown rats ” it’s a rat trap, and we’ve been….....caught”
Can you imagine a stupid maroon calling someone a maroon?
re Olga/Slatkos/Hugo’s earlier about typos – too many from using this device to fix in real time. I thought the interweb was makin us smarter.
Communication is about intent and impact, Strunk and White be damned!
Kooz – it had to do the color of your sweater
Coos, “maroon” is a compliment, a term of endearment in the John Birch Society book
What Indian nation are you from Coos?
stranger, it all lies within the pleasure of the text. Faulkner couldn’t spell worth a damn.
Foxwoods
The Rat Race – even if you win, you are still a rat! Lily Tomlin
As Robert Nester Marley said, its a human disgrace, bring down the human race, rat race…
The letters of EB white – brilliant writing
Cold water can quench my thirst, I’m in bed need a nurse, I’m thirsty thirsty lord have mercy
Was he related to UB Black?
Coos, I resent the way you suckered the Stranger in, you should apologize
Ebonics with way to jive y’all – yo yo sup brutha?
“What a maroon” comes from Bugs Bunny cartoons, where he mispronounces “moron”.
Life by Keith Richards.
Ebonics is the Sweet Jesus
EB created some artful prose
Coos, don’t be offended. We are all maroons at one time or another. No?
“I was guilty for oh, so long
Lived in sin too long
But, Jesus dropped the charges…”
none of this is true, by the way, but I like the song. – The ONeal Twins
newbear, your concern is welcome but I have walked these halls before although rarely in such fine company.
I like ruh- tard as pronunciation for retard – no offense intended
He liked jamming to ub40 tho
Maybe it was Olga called me that.
‘blithering idiot’ I could accept and understand, but maroon?
Want to write well…. Read the letters of EB
Kooz is a maroon – could have been Stuart
Hey Stranger,
they don’t like Proust, Rushdie, Bolano, around here, how can you hope that they even know about E.B.White.
Can you imagine they mistake Proust for Prust…. Scandalous
stranger knows his literature, doesn’t need some help from me
I meant every word…
Anyone with length, has been marooned at certain times in their life. Don’t fret my brutha. Move on.
BARTENDER
If I go
Before I’m old
Oh, brother of mine
Please don’t forget me if I go
Bartender, please
Fill my glass for me
With the wine you gave Jesus that set him free
After three days in the ground
Oh, and if I die
Before my time
Oh, sweet sister of mine
Please don’t regret me if I die
Bartender, please
I’m on bended knees, I pray
Bartender, please
When I was young, I never think about it
Now I can’t get it out of my mind
I’m on bended knees
Father, please
Oh, and if all this gold
Should steal my soul away
Oh, sweet mother of mine
Please redirect me in this gold…
Bartender, you see
The wine that’s drinking me
Came from the vine that strung Judas from the Devil’s tree
His roots deep, deep in the ground
I’m on bended knees
Oh, Bartender, please
I’m on bended knees
Father, please
When I was young, I never think about it
Now I just wanna run and die
I’m on bended knees
Oh, Bartender, please
Bartender, please…
Papa said length
newbie, the Proust thing was funny. I responded by saying that Proust would never drop the gloves, was too busy dipping madeleines in his tea. -’In Search of Lost Time.’ Day crew had no clue.
Bertha don’t you come round here anymore…
Yes, Stuart can on occasion be, shall we say, abrupt?
I have a kindle fire and time on my hands. Any recommendations for a good biography on a 20th century icon?
Maybe he meant I was marooned on a desolate intellectual island.
Dave Mathews is a direct descendant from EB white
Try Titan, re Rockefeller
Coos, they did not know that Madeleine was actually dropped in his bed, not in his tea
Walter Lippmann
Liked Charlotte’s Web. Stuart Little left me cold.
Lets talk line combos and trades
Papa – great bio on John Lennon
They thought I was talking about Barry Beck’s wife.
CHRIs Matthews
Good read I’d bob woodward’s the brethren
All this St Pddy’s Day talk had me thinking of the big Bartender in the sky.
my lineage comes three clans from the ol sod located Listowel, lovely Lietrim and Cork.
Used to attend Friendly Sons dinner every year, now just keep it on the down low
Anyone read Rudy G’s auto biog. Mayor????
Let’s Go Black Hawks!
I’m out.
Nytol.
The one with the picture on the cover of Pataki holding his coat?
Later olga
stranger is a lonsman
See ya Olga, ya maroon. :)
I’m a Kilkenny clan me self
Olga,,, nice man…. Nice family… Been a pleasure.
interesting watching Carp trying to rationalize with the irrational. Some have real anger in their prose.
Rudy “subject, verb, 911”
Fermanagh, Mayo, Clare.
I Know Rudy personally, what do you want to know?
I have told carp to let to go – he knows he can’t right the crazy – emotional fans are not rational thinkers.
Carp, do you think that they will start Biron next Thursday?”
“Frankly, I could give a…”
Newbear – ask Rudy how world trade 7 collapsed ? Please ??
Is it true, bear, that he got his teeth at a Humphrey Bogart auction?
Armagh and Belfast, me mum and me da.
Olga, it has been a pleasure,, please come back sometime
eddie, now with the edifice complex. lock me in the gardening shed
you guys who stuck in last year need to wake up and join us in this year…. kinda annoying already hearing “oh last year Rangers were this way but this year Rangers are that way”...
If we wanna talk about what was before then let’s remember that the year before last year they BARELY made it into the postseason… and the year before that they DIDNT make the postseason AT ALL and we had THE PRUST! so yeah… blah blah blah last year.
Thank god ria finally has my correct email – now she need only send me one…
Visited both, Papa
Rudy was just about to be rode out of town on the rails when 911 happened
42 year sago yesterday. Ali vse Frazier 1. Where were you?
triple C broke into the meds locker at Columbia Pres.
Kooz for my own edification I need to hear why… Strangest damn thing I ever saw
No, and No, cayllate !!
correct comrade, Solidarity with Hamr and Bickel!
8th grade – bet on Frazier
Ever read Flann O’Brien, Papa? Crazy man linguist, better than Joyce. See “The Third Policeman.”
Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar, e
Did 3C come up with Hamr and Bickel? I think so.
Papa, I remember, I was treared in some Queens hospital for a sever cut to my tendons, while I slipped inside the oil truck, welding the holes, just under the Queensboro Bridge,
What we need – what we need is solidarity
Every time someone said to me, do me a solid, I lost money.
Cosell call on those fights were iconic.
Equally strong call in Woody’s ‘Bananas’
Yes i did, cooscoos…thank you
Coos, Do you celebrate St Paddy’s in NYC? More people come to NY than go to Ireland to celebrate. Took ma back to Belfast on St Paddys for her 75th Birthday. what a time it was. Saw the cranberries.
eee, you are eclectic enough in taste to enjoy O’Brien, too.
da – thus the Solidarity, though the Soviets not as fond as Lech…
Solidarity my ass, come on y’all, laugh at me, I was a fool at the time and I knew it, just did not stay that way
That’s a wonderful story, Papa. (I’ll Take You Home Again, Kathleen) Are you not in NY?
Oh, I see what you mean. On and off at those festivities.
Are we still live?
3CPO carefully walking around the pool’s edge and then says, “screw it” and makes a big splash with a verbal cannonball.
i got a bellybutton…so what?
I think I’m missing something.
“Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself” – Lev Tolstoy
diaper theories?
great quote…change always looks better over there, not so much over here
Why is the daytime invading my night? Lets talk line combinations.
dollars over here look better than change
has trips e gone to bed?
Step Boyle Richards
Nash McD Delz
Girardi Nash Asham
Bickel Henrik Biron

gagazzote, come to life, or I have to go to sleep. You know the humour can only be forced for so long.
Nash. Step. Hags.
Cally. Miller. Gabby
Poe. Richards. Pickle
Eat . My . Shorts.
last season we joked about the Torts Line Shuffler whoch is broken out after four consecutive shifts without legit scoring chances.
he definitely runs the war like Grant. just dont have as many productive bodies to replace the wounded and weary.
That fourth line sounds formidable
Wouldn’t it be funny if the Rangers all got drunk and didn’t show up for a game? Mostly kids. Should have happened by now.
Papa Bear, pleas give it up now!!!
Defense pairs:
McD . Girardi
MDZ. Strallsie.
Taint. Lyck.
jsut watched the 3rd period.
just not enough players who are contributing. I am a broken record… 3rd and 4th line nothing.
Stu Bickell is playing for what ereason???
no staal is killing us.. man the senators may not have as many high end players but there 3rd and 4th line depth is much better then the Rangers…
boyle is killing us…boyle, halpern, powe torts new favorite, bickell, halpern, and a few other guys have contributed nothing offensively.
gaborik had a few nice passes tonight to stepan but he could not bury them. gabby wins very few battles on the board and did not get any shots off of significance that i saw tonight.
right before the Sens 3rd goal Rangers had 3 guys watching the puck…there defense has been very good fro 3 years, they cannot score enough. magic # is 3, can this team score 3 goals enough times!!!!!7-3-2 in 1 goal games….
later gents / sleep awaits
Eat is very large on the wing. My is a nifty Vietnamese sniper. Shorts is vertically challenged, but evasive.
death, where is thy sting?
He’s playing the Beacon
Cc (2:25) nice follow. I’m rolling
areev a derchie
Newbear, give up what? my money? my salmon? If you need, my fellow furry friend, tell me what it is and I will do my best to get it to you.
Testing 1,2,3,4
DZ’s shot off the post, Stepon right in front of the net and Henik with his stupid rebounds, what a shame a games of inches. That’s what you get when you roll two lines the night before. Our jackass coach will never learn. Boyle & Kreider still not playing ummmh both later day Avery and Dubie.
Lone Ranger , I agree totally.
You guys are idiotic. My Rangers will win the cup
Was there ever a better rock and roll vinyl than Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap.
Well maybe it was Back in Black.
iPhones suck.
the third line had a few chances tonight. The fourth line almost got scored on every time they were out there.
if only we had Asham we could have won this game…...............just kidding
Can someone please explain to me why the new and improved Gordie Clark run drafts have not produced a defenseman we can promote to take the place of Staal, instead of going out to sign a 20, yes 20 year over-the-hill veteran in Hamrlik?
I’m not talking about promoting the next Mark Staal or McDonaugh, but don’t they have anyone better and younger than Hamrlik in the farm system?
Please sign Zucc., put him on the 3rd line and let him play in all situations. He’s no savior, but he’s an inexpensive upgrade over Boyle for the time being.
Zucc wouldn’t get played. Never. even if Sather signs him, Torts has no use for him, he proved that already. I would rather see Thomas or Kreider, at least they can play some defense.
