IN HOSTEM OMNIA LICITA! (For the enemy, everything is permitted!) LGR!
…and I’m NOT the first who said that.
…but definitely the First One on this blog…today.
Your like the kid Max Fisher in Rushmore…..you saved Latin.
Go time, but nobody want to go anywhere?
No, Rich, I just always was fascinated by lapidary of Latin in contrary to my native very flourish, multiworded in any description and quite complicated language.
I’ve got parent teacher conferences tonight, so no game score spoiler texts…and you know who you are!!
LGR
Well that sucked
Not good. First shot – first goal.
no Kakko – they say flu
McKeeg playing on 3rd line
Haley is remarkably unPrucha’d
You lose every end zone face off and that happens occasionally. I feel a stinker coming on tonight.
Couldn’t get a worse start.
Lame
You put a team down 5 on 3 for that?
Wow. DairyQueen with a few f bombs
The aroma is getting stronger.
This could be over early…
Jokes aside, but really the game is over.
Oy vey Hank time?
Raise the white flag.
Instead of call for goalie interference…That was happened.
We are gonna win this game and it’s gonna propel us thru the rest of the season
Screened but not good start for georgie
Refs instantly killed them phytologically.
Why not call a timeout?
So….it was 1-0…I came upstairs changed my clothes pulled the game up on the bedroom TV and its 4-0…I’m terrified to go pee…..It may be 12-0 by the time I walk out of the bathroom…
Why you didn’t pee and changed before game started?
We’re gonna win this race…..
Looks like I’ll be saving battery life on my phone tonight. I got grub and settled into my seat at the Panther game. Turned on the old NHL TV on my phone and….promptly shut it back off. Pathetic. They better not being this sh!tty brand of hockey to Sunrise on Saturday.
I know it was Georgie but….
724 calendar days since Lundqvist’s last shutout.
Plenty of time?
Just think…we could have had Trotz. Oh the pain!
I had the trotz. Bad food, I think…
Who cares about trotz
With Trotz we’d be trapping our way into the playoffs as a 3-8 seed, never getting “bad enough” to draft high and cultivate talent
I hate the lighting!
That goal by THE had to be the lamest of his career lol
Buchy has to bury that
chitty power play.
The whole store got the flu..
Carry my wayward puck in. Wasn’t that a Kansas song or something?
first period stars
1 kakko
2 henrik
3 ??????
Dinner finally ready. Baked fillet of alaska wild salmon with garlic maple butter and side of rice. Vegetable optional
I’m at this game. I’ve never experienced anything like that. I was screaming st the ref calling him Napoleon and to put away his pecker. And after the 4th goal, I yelled, are you gonna give me my money back man. Got a pretty good laugh from the crowd.
But I swear after that 4th goal. It was like the scene from a Christmas story where everyone was sneering at the boy, I had like these little kids turn around at me and start jumping up and down pointing their finger laughing at me. I kid you not
Bush league organization!
McKegg=Howie Rose’s son.
The way they hemorrhage SOGs like they have all year this will happen if the goaltending is not outstanding. This won’t be the last one.
The only thing that would make that dinner better is James chocolate caramel tart. Apparently a FedEx delivery snafu 😰
Why are these idiots playing like they’re the ones with the 4-1 lead?
Remember everything that happens in Tampa is on the Minx!
Better yet… why am I still watching?
Yup. I’m done. G’night boneheads. Enjoy this sh*t game.
Because they’re losing
What else is on?
Assistant coach is Lord Farquardt?
The Rangers may just get ten shots on goal tonight.
Olga think there’s pointy ball tonight too
Lord Fartguard?
Touchdown!
Ouch
Wow that was easy good night nurse!
Nice defense there ..geez
It’s never not funny….
Does DQ pull a Keenan and put Georgie back in? I guess they poked the bear by beating the Bolts in New York.
Well I hope this is the night Lisa gets 20 TOI
Time to experiment put Fast at center?
Statement game by Tampa.
Another learning lesson for the “young guys”….you know…Smith, Haley, Strome, Kreider, Trouba…all the kids
When was the last time they allowed double digits? They definitely are at risk tonight.
These guys chased me
Fire Quinn.
Oh and buck up guys- SkjeL is still learning to defend.
I got my dog in the car, what the hell am I staying for when the combo of the refs and the rangers had that game over within 10 minutes of me walking in the building
“The Rangers coaching staff will want to burn tonight’s game tape.”
I either get to cheer the Rangers on Saturday or boo them. The jury’s still out. Doesn’t matter though, I’m ok with either at this point.
I yelled as I was leaving, you guys chased me. You better show up on Saturday
The only bits of this game that I’ve seen it looks like Tampa is playing a geriatric JV team.
Without Smith and HaleyBeezle
Jpp, you’re up in Tampa? If so, are you coming on Saturday?
I expect double digit score… Rangers just don’t want to play and thinking about warm evening meal and soft hotel bed.
Yeah I’m gonna be there
7 -1 and they won’t even let us win a face-off
Jpp be safe down there
Minx maybe we’l just go to dinner in March instead of the game lol
They look like a team with the flu
They should come out in the 3rd with bad news bears jerseys on!
Good ol Pepe
Jpp, we should link up.
Sounds like a plan James!
Yeah JP-none of those jack wagons are worth engaging bro. Screw em
I hate tampa!
Maybe somewhere we can watch the game on tv…provided they hand us the remote lol
Put Geogie back in.
I too am not very fond of Tampa or the state of Florida for that matter!!
#MiamiPimpforever
#Thatisall
‘They’ meant the Rangers
i know how to navigate opposing crowds, we were having fun with each other, that was all in good humor
Why is Ruff still here?
Better yet call up Shesterkin
They Really miss Kaapo!
Good but No cup with Shatty Schenn and Coburn on defense
Kappo: “boy they really miss me”
Yeah ev. Let’s get together during an intermission. I’m warning you though, if you think I’m mad on the blog, I’m a real madman in real life 🙂
Didn’t watch second
Lias still minimal time
He should play a lot in third
He would if I were coach
If can’t play in slaughter game when can he play
CCCP because they haven’t found a Meow yet to replace him
Touchdown. Plus the 2-point conversion!
No idea C3. Haven’t even gotten to Ruff as I’m still trying to figure out what Arniel does…
Beez you forgot to type “ZING!”
Horrible but I am taking some solace that they are at least pissed off
That’s awesome, Jpp. I’m even more depressing in person 🤣
Embarrassing just embarrassing! Carp won’t have much to write about. Give him the night and tomorrow off!
Yeah…umm….Lemieux, like…shouldn’t have done that.
JD should leave a lobster roll with a knife stuck in it on Quinn’s desk.
I have a huge penis in person 🍆
They say the blog adds 3” Papa.
Jpp, does Carp know you’re coming? I’m gonna link up with him too.
Except for C3. He had his flung over his shoulder when we went to opening night.
MSG actually made him buy an extra seat..
Can’t play hockey let’s fight, but we can’t fight either.
DQ??????? Where’s the preparation
We all knew one of these special games was coming!
Minx if Carp took any more time off he’d be retired!
Lone after tonight the preparation is going to be right before the letter H.
As in to say Tampa is sticking this game right up…
I’ve still barely watched. I’m guessing they’re playing with zero pride at this point. If I was losing this bad, I’d be running around fighting and hitting everyone. I’m guessing they’re barely bumped anyone.
Am I close?
If my wife wasn’t sick with the flu we would have went out tonight, lucky me!
Too many young’uns. Going to take a long time for them to develop discipline. Need more veteran players with leadership. At times really start wondering about this coach.
Carp probably can’t be seen with me. He’d get blacklisted
He wouldn’t be able to fly home.
HALEY PRUCHA’D?
Young or not with the exception of 3 dmen there isn’t one guy on this roster who isn’t at least a second year pro.
Games like this shouldn’t be happening as a result of a learning curve in my opinion.
Now I know why Donuts never dropped ’em.
Did donuts get in a fight?
Jpp, where are you sitting on Saturday?
Skjei. Will never become a good defenseman. He’s really run out of time. I think it’s time to move him and Kreider. Bottom line, really need to tighten up on goal & defense in a hurry or it’s going to be a very very long seasons. Still worried about Quinn
Now that Chytil scored, the lightning are free to score another 4 unanswered goals for the third straight period 🙄
Can you say “comeback”?
(Me neither)
It will be a fun and interesting challenge for them to come back and get 2 points out of this one. And I’m here for it!
How did Trouba get hurt
It’s clear, that this game was lost in the first 10 minutes of 1st period , even at first 5 0n 3 refs call. It was a shock and very demoralizing, particularly for the youngers, but still, the level of this demoralization, resulting in deep apathy, is inexcusable.
If the Rangers score two more, does Shampoo boy take the loss?
Kucherov hit with Lobaev sniper rifle fire
Should we tell Wicky the score yet?
How are you not more pissed and let a guy go right past you without putting any pressure on him?
Is that how the whole game has been?
Tyler Johnson yaps a lot
Who’s gonna tell Wicky? Not me
It was a close game. Then they had the opening faceoff…
Lias Anderson experiment is over
I just hope this game will force some changes, like Smith out of lineup.
Pull the goalie!
Wicky when you start watching, right after the anthem, shut it off.
They were so close to laying the blame on Lundqvist….
It could be worse it could be raining!
131 ev
Great game.
Say, who won the match?
Jpp, I’ll be in 111, row 9
131 is a big section. Whereabouts?
Agassi did, Norm
He did pull a Keenan and put Georgie back in.
I’m still up. Can’t sleep… not enough beer to wash that one out.
So the Rangers now have a guy you hate unless he plays for you. Not a bad thing at all most nights, but you’ll have the occasional cringeworthy one.
Anyone catch the license plate on that bus?
LOL, Minx. Great reference
