First!!
Good morning, boneheads!
Kevin Shattenkirk is from New Rochelle, NY. Did you know that ? 🙂
News to me ILB. It would be nice if the media ever reported stuff like that right?
think Lauren Hutton will start for the blues tonight?
Apparently Marc Staal has some brothers too?
Great family, the Staal’s are. From Western Canada — all hard workin’ farm boys!
sod farmers with big thighs, Sam.
Traid evryun!
J.T. Miller has recorded a point in each of the Rangers’ six wins in 2016-17, and the Blueshirts have posted a 6-0-0 record in games which he has tallied a point this season. He has registered seven points (two goals, five assists) in the last five games, and he leads the Rangers in points this season (nine; three goals, six assists).
I agree Stranger.
J.T. ticks a lot of boxes. Very competitive. Dubinsky 2.0. Now – if he could leave his stick on the ice in the O-zone…
Obviously want to get the win tonight.
Would like to see Hank look sharp from start to finish.
Even though he’s playing on the 4th line, would like to see Buch get his first goal.
the new 4th line is less of a demotion than it used to be – you’re no longer playing 4 minutes with Colton Orr and a few minutes PK time – its 12-14 mins with possible PK/PP time included. Also with Fast and Pirri as linemates its going to offer a reasonable goal threat too.
U.K.-Exactly. The kid’s come close a bunch of times. It’s going to happen.
Hands up if you thought at any point in the season our leading goalscorers would be Veeezey & Grabby ? No? Me either!!
Good point about 4th line, UK.
It is possible that The Kreider would be leading the team in scoring had he not missed 4 games. Hope he continues to be an ever present threat on the ice!
JT is a bust….NOT!
Love Jay Tea; very soothing
For years, Carp spoke of the lack of top 6 talent. With the early emergence of VC, the bust out by THE, the steady progression of JT, the introduction of Zika, continued skillful play of Zucc, the steady work of Step and Nash not having to carry the load; this team is primed.
IF Haze continues his uptrend and Butch gets to play with top lines, the sky’s the limit.
You said it, SN. That’s why it’s crucial they now steady their defense.
In Gorton I trust!!!!
For me i think Hayes has been the most pleasant surprise this year – he looks quicker, stronger and more switched on in all 3 zones
The Undertaker was unhappily born into the wrong generation. On the other hand, his 800M salary is more than Bobby Orr ever dreamed of.
Liking the vibe around here today.
COOS!!!!!
One way contract too, Coos….Plus, living in Hartford must be cheaper. So there is that.
Whilst stat checking earlier i noticed that Nick Holden is a +8, front runner for the 2016/17 Marek Malik award?
ilb – wonder if McIlrath will carry a hatchet in his backpack like Nicky Fotiu used to do. 🙂
Coos! Finally!
IRS auditor to The Undertaker: “You can’t deduct the hatchet.”
Greetings, Comrade. Where in hell is Carp? I feel very bad about the way that he was treated by that rag he worked for.
Who’s still missing? Orr? Anyone else?
Admiral – the Staals are pretty far north but not west
Izzy?
Coos – you’re not the only one, i’ve seen a number of tweets directed at Gannett and a few blogs bemoaning the loss of Carp from the Rangers beat. He’s on twitter as himself now though https://twitter.com/RickCarpiniello
For 800 grand i’ll take all and any abuse from AV and whoever.
where’s bdl??? i just saw buck and pirri playing with fast and thought to myself, ugh, those two have to lug the couch around with them all night!
the fast=couch is my favorite nickname this place has ever produced.
Hey everybody. What is the happenings?
Fast hasn’t had such skilled linemates since that time he was a fixture on our top line for an extended look!
COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOS! (which means bad things in Hebrew)
How about CT blueshirt and Coos?
Manny, how long should I continue covering you for your primary responsibilities? I have other stuff to do.
The REAL Manny? Hi to you, sire.
When Manny disappeared, I thought that he might be Carlos Danger. but recent events proved that supposition incorrect.
Carlos Danger played goaltender on my friend’s hockey team. He sucks.
Shatty playing for $6M tonite? Probably get it anyway.
Not sure I am on that train yet. Franson will cost less than half and play the same level of D (not O)
I watched the Carlos Danger documentary on showtime over the weekend. If you haven’t seen it yet it’s really, really good. And yeah, from the clips they showed of him in net, he sucks.
Have I really been that bad, Ilb? I’m sorry. There’s not indicator!
COOS!!! I’ve been wandering up and down Wykagyl screaming your user name trying to locate you…I’m not allowed within 500 yards of Ursuline anymore…
The first fifty times Manny said NEW POST, I went to the newspaper kiosk.
Tell the truth, James. I am not the reason that you are not allowed anywhere near Ursuline! 🙂
Manny, look at the end of last post. and the one before that…And…
LOL that streak ended in 2000 when I graduated Salesian, Coos : D
Ok. I will try to be better, ilb. I’m really sorry.
It’s really great to see HODOR back!
Papa Bear is missing. I saw some of his posts from last game thread went into spam and he got upset. Let’s call him to comeback! COME BACK PAPA BEAR!
Also, Fat Guy is nowhere to be found.
Coos!
Bout time.
We need Fat Guy back. I don’t even want to read the blog anymore without him.
Also, have we seen We’re Taking the Armoire? I miss that guy too.
Fat Guys is hilarious. I would love to get ORR back.
AND SALLY!
I know that Carp is a fellow Iona College Gael and now I find out James G is a fellow Salesian Eagle (Class of 1982).
So did everyone have fun during Halloween? I gave out three pieces of candy – all to me! I know that the one year I don’t buy any candy I will get swamped 🙂
I wrote to ORR (on facebook PM) multiple times. He saw all of my msgs but never replied (as he usually never does) and never showed up here. I think he finally got himself a girlfriend and is trying to move outta mom’s basement. I hope that girl stick by him…not easy to have just one nut and keep a girlfriend, you know? 🙂
I gave out five times more than I used to. I guess Bay Ridge is a little different from Todt Hill, lol. My daughter brought two bags home. After she went to bed, my wive went through every single piece to make sure it’s all safe. Doctors…
coos, you owe us two dozen puns.
Nice Avatar, Norm!
If a bit graphic.
Add some colors, perhaps?
Carlos Danger? Didn’t we have his brother Harvey on the team a while back?
Fat Guy is the best. Someone has to track that guy down! Check The Comedy Cellar and the Lohud Yankee Blog.
watched that Carlos Danger Showtime show as well this weekend. Sad, very sad. Feel bad for the wife and kids.
No Politics – I keed.
Does the FBI provide hazard pay for the agent who had to touch his computer?
Just looked at Yankee’s blog not realizing it had suffered the same fate as RR. It’s Comedy Cellar or bust now.
ORR won’t be the ORR we love if he moves out of that basement. #RIPORR
LMAO @ Comedy Cellar or Bust. Good one
game day hattie?
Come on back Fat Guy & Papa Bear! As much as I can’t stand cooper and his minions I hope they light up the fishsticks tonight!
I will be so glad when it’s next Wednesday…so sick of hearing about this stupid election and the two dirtbag candidates!
Interesting 30 Thoughts from Elliotte Friedman http://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/30-thoughts-will-canadiens-able-get-defenceman/. He offers an interesting theory on why offense is up this year, why goalies are looking to change their style of play because of injuries, and he has some nice tidbits on Rick Nash.
Couldn’t agree more, Wick. Enough already!
Shestorkin: KHL goalie of the month
http://en.khl.ru/news/2016/11/01/326634.html
I have a question. I’m not a very big baseball fan. I mentioned to my wife today that it’s the anniversary of the Andy Bathgate shot that caused Jacque Plante to don the first goalie mask. She asked me if catchers in baseball have always worn masks. I didn’t know the answer. Do any of you guys know?
EddieJ – Here is a link that talks about catcher’s equipment: http://sabr.org/research/evolution-catchers-equipment
It is kind of amazing that goalies didn’t go to some version of catcher’s masks, but hockey was a different game. Goalies were originally not permitted to drop to the ice (forgot when they changed the rule) so some of the danger of getting hit the face was less than it is now. Also, the slapshot as we know it would not be prominent for awhile. Plus, sticks were not curved so you didn’t have the “banana-blades” that would become a goalie’s worst enemy.
Hockey > Elections
I looked it up and prior to 1917 if a goalie dropped to the ice a minor penalty was assessed. i thought it was in the 1920s so it was sooner than i thought.
Get this, prior to 1929 goalies could not freeze the puck. if they did a faceoff would ensue 10 feet from goal with only the goalie being allowed to be between the faceoff circle and the goal. All of his players would have to be “north” of the faceoff spot.
When you think about it, if we all were watching a Rangers game 90 years ago we probably would not recognize the game. This site gives a listing of major rules changes: http://www.rauzulusstreet.com/hockey/nhlhistory/nhlrules.html
That is BONKERS. I once read a history of player safety and it seems a LOT of players died on the ide back at the turn of the century.
They had better ide back then.
Thanks, Anthony.
Beware the ides of ….. something
“Beware the eyes of Marge.” – Homer Simpson
I keep seeing these little blurbs here and there about landeskog being available…if there is any validity to them, gorton better be all over it.
Nice, coos. This blog (albeit in knock-off form) is singing once again.
Needs more Carp–any blog would–but I will absolutely respect his decision if he’s unable to come over or start his own. He’s done more than enough for us, that’s for sure, and I hope things work out well for him one way or the other
When I dropped some toothpaste on the floor today I was quite crestfallen.

Nice to see. Where is E3?
On the can?
Wicky – re The Kog; by all means necessary even if you have to give up Step and Staal…
Cher, everywhere in LA takes 20 minutes.
Don’t tell me those brain-dead lowlifes are calling me again.
SN
Couldn’t agree more. I know it’s like game #10 but you have to go after him.
–
Also wouldn’t shock me to see the rangers address the centre position at some point leading up to deadline…(j staal or hanzal…both faceoff guys with size/skill).
Until mankind is peaceful enough not to have violence on the news, there’s no point in taking it out of shows that need it for entertainment value.
no thanks to J Staal, AV doesn’t know what to do with them. Hanzal is a beast but also doesn’t hit AV’s mode of No-Hand Touch hockey.
Think Oscar can be that guy, my guess is he is still a little banged up. Obv not sold on AV’s go go O after ASG into POs when space is at a premium and whistles non-existent. Haze is not a PO center.
What’s the point? Everywhere you go has valet.
‘fit’ not hit
Everything I think and everything I do is wrong. I was wrong about Elton, I was wrong about Christian, and now Josh hated me. It all boiled down to one inevitable conclusion, I was just totally clueless. Oh, and this Josh and Tai thing was wigging me more than anything. I mean, what was my problem? Tai is my pal, I don’t begrudge her a boyfriend, I really… Ooh, I wonder if they have that in my size. What does she want with Josh, anyway? He dresses funny, he listens to complaint rock, he’s not even cute… in a conventional way. I mean, he’s just like this slug who hangs around the house all the time. And he’s a hideous dancer, I couldn’t take him anywhere. Wait a second, what am I stressing about? This is like, Josh! OK, OK, so he’s kind of a baldwin, but what would he want with Tai? She couldn’t make him happy. Josh needed someone with imagination, someone to take care of him, someone to laugh at his jokes… in case he ever makes any. Then suddenly…
I say we just keep pouring em in. Maybe tonight is Zika’s turn for a Hattie.
Don’t know why every makes such a fuss about coaching. I got it all figured out.
Your welcome, carry on.
score more than other team? Bingo!!!
Miss Stoeger, I would just like to say that physical education in this school is a disgrace. I mean, standing in line for forty minutes is hardly aerobically effective. I doubt I’ve worked off the calories in a stick of Carefree gum.
Wicky, why do think Colorado is making him available. He seems to fit there well. Anything you know?
I feel like such a heifer. I had two bowls of Special K, 3 pieces of turkey bacon, a handful of popcorn, 5 peanut butter M&M’s and like 3 pieces of licorice.
Hey, James Bond, in America we drive on the right side of the road.
Wowza, you guys are talking available forwards? lol Least of this team’s problems. They’ve actually been winning a ton more faceoffs than I thought they would be winning thus far. Zibanejad has been just fine as a “defensive f/o specialist”. Not really stressing Dom Moore 2.0. As for Landeskog I don’t see why they wouldn’t want 23 year old LW who has put up 50-60 points the last few years. You’d have to probably move Vesey or Buchnevich in that deal.
What’s with you, kid? You think the death of Sammy Davis left an opening in the Rat Pack?
LOL. I’ve got a .45 and a shovel. I doubt anyone would miss you

I see the NHL is going to promote Mcdavid until people are blue in the face. I’m glad he’s not playing in the EC. Imagine Doc and Co. on NBC if we had to play against his team several times a season?

James, I disagree entirely on McDavid. He is worth the price of admission. It’s a travesty he won’t be on national TV in the US.
I’ll be at the game on Thursday just to watch him absolutely torch Girardi.
I want to die peacefully in my sleep, like my grandfather.. Not screaming and yelling like the passengers in his car.

136 comments. What’s the record?
You would have to be pretty low to pickpocket a dwarf.
Maybe his Dr. Wouldn’t renew his Marijuana script
This place is quite busy, hope Carp is able to Review again.
We could use his little lobs in the comments too.
Anyone hear from Sioux, I can’t imagine his pain
As will I . I pick and choose who I want see. Seeing McDavid live is worth it. See you Thursday doodie.
I will be at MSG Thursday too. Unusual pleasure for a SoCal resident. Looking forward to it.
Haven’t heard from Sioux. He’s been in my thoughts all week. I can’t imagine what he’s going through. If you are reading this we are here for you, buddy.
SN, I love the player, I think he’s worth the price of admission, I just don’t like the way they try to stuff players down people’s throats. I get that they’re just marketing their talent. I guess it’s just my distaste to this day of the bias and man love they give Sidney Crosby both deserved and undeserved. Mcdavid is going to wreck this league and give the fans some special memories. He doesn’t need the help of generic analysts reading from scripts to help him along
Rob, Haven’t spoke to him but I’m sure Sioux knows he has his blog family’s thoughts and prayers.
errrr RR not SN*. I think it’s time to take my contacts out for the day …
If you aren’t going to see doodie until Thursday, you need to eat more fiber.
I think some of the McDavid lovin’ is being driven by a Canadian team having a Canadian star. With that said, at least the powers-that-be are pushing someone iother than Sidney. Pierre’s head would explode if he had to cover the Pens_oilers with Sidney, McDavid and Kristopher Letang.
Great question. Does anyone know the record?
Must win?
*NOT* a must win.
