So, who is your Da…First?
How about that 4th line? Come get the Stanley Cup. Speaking of Stanley Cup….I still want to slap Sam for “this one will last a lifetime” so far it has to.
Rich
the biggest ? is whose lifetime.
Seems like forever since we had a game to watch. Would like to see them actually score goals against Jimmy Howard, which they rarely do.
Outcome of this game will depend on how deep is Rangers’ rust and Wings’ lust.
There’s a game?
2-0 Rangers.
Iglorius with the Shut Out.
Kreider nets 2.
From the Detroit feed, Athanasiou likely to be traded. Let’s get him–trade Kreider for some picks, send them to Detroit, get Athanasiou here, practice spelling A-t-h-a-n-a-s-i-o-u. Or come up with a dozen nicknames to avoid that challenge.
The Rangers are playing? I thought they disbanded…
Just to review…
Staal-DeAngelo
Skjei-Fox
WOOF
No takers on Athensasyou? Lightning fast, scores goals, fights?
Amnesia
Nice opening shift for Fast.
Nice Shest save by Shest.
Remember the days when the Red Wings were virtually unbeatable? Yeah…
Does Fast Fast for Lent?
Best part aboot this break: The wife thinks I gave up a few games to watch shiddy movies with her!
Will Bettman see his shadow on Groundhog Day?
I guess not everybody knows the breaks over!
Miserable Buch – epitome of loser.
Giacomin Graves Bathgate.
Two things I don’t like about Shesty: habitually crossing himself before games starts and juicy rebounds right to in front of net…
Wasn’t sure aboot Graves…nice call
Genuflectsinov with the shutout so far, Rangers dominating and keeping shots down. A goal would be nice.
Do they know the season is over April 4th?
They need to start scoring. I’m two beers ahead…
Should we congratulate Howard with his 3rd win of the season now or later?
Less than 4 hours til Dry January is over. Now is not the time for the boys to drive me to drink…
Remember the back to back games during the 6 team league?
Jimmy came to play
That Staal Kid looks like a keeper!
Dionne played for Rangers and had his jersey retired
Jimmy’s got the hots for Elaine. Jimmy’s got some new moves…
Rangers need a good 20+ wins…
Beer Me!
FINALLY!!!
Boinga!
Panarin is still on the beach in Mexico eating octopus salad.
Bam!
Jimmys got no defense
Buch looks thrilled.
Tony D great break out pass to Kreider. No
Point.
Captain Happy!
Buch! FINALLY!
Hard to evaluate new defensive pairs against Detroit
Grumpy goal from Mister Happy.
This game has a real playoffs feel to it. Check that, a real weeksoff feel.
I’ve Larkined and I can’t get up!
Got in just in time for Captain Happy moment. Hopefully the first of many more in February
Future former Ranger Kreider.
THE ups the bank account!
THE!
Detroit has to be the least physical team in the league.
Interesting stat from the Detroit announcers: Kreider leads the league in tipped goals for the time he’s been playing.
Kakko has that slight hesitation that is often a sign of a good one, but not in his case.
Fast > Selke
Norm, the food service industry loves him. He’s the best tipper !
If Buchnevich looks good, it can only mean the opponent Really sucks!
Beauty it is!
Wow!
Three Beers for the Rangers! Three Beers! Three Beers!
What the hell just happened? What did he just do?
Arti makes me Party!
Filthy
Canadian’s has the Rocket. We have the Rockette!
Man, he made that fool look like a fool.
That panarin guy is pretty good
Every time Panarin kicks his leg up like that I hold my breath and prey for his groins.
Chytle, in contrary, is really bad tonight. In every episode…
Columbus should impeach JD and call The Breadman as a material witness.
Does he have more than one groin?
Olga how many minutes per beer when watching? NYR score at a 1 goal every 18.4 min pace…
Does he have multiple groins?
groins, lol
Sip Sip Hooray?
Fast > Gainey
prey, double lol
If nothing else, Detroit offence is really fast skating…
Groins!!!! My wife just ask me why am I laughing so loud!
Beezle, on average 2/period?
That’s one I’ll think about tomorrow and laugh again! As Carp would often say, “You guys are awesome!”
Enough to make a groin man cry.
The most manly beer is made with mashed groins, barley, and hops.
Olga you need to run their offense, it’s lagging behind
Remember the days when a game thread would repack 1,000 comments?
Where have all the followers gone?
Long time passing.
Repack ???? Reach
Detroit just seems to go through the motions
Krusty and that kick lol
My name would be
Seatle Fog
They all strained their right groin PB
Return of The Gerund.
Where’s E3, laying cable?
Krusty fits with Breadman. Not easy to kick that high.
Shesty’s glove > Hank’s glove
As Hank aged, high glove pucks gave him consternation.
Glad Detroit doesn’t have Kocur and Probert tonight.
Redd Foxx is a very heady player.
So who gets the puck for shesty puller at the end of the game for his first shutout?
Holy Eff! Probert and Kocur on the same team?
Mika Scora Goala.
Zipper!
Prey for his groins lmao! 🤦♂️
Z pack!!!
Shesty = bust
Oops my bad, sorry shesty
Both D to the same guy. Bust.
Who is responsible for that goal? Waste of time waiting for SalmonJoe to opine.
I missed the goal. Who was the pair?
Wicky = bonehead bust
Fox & Shea butter Coos.
Wicky don’t mess up Hank’s first in 803 days tomorrow!
Fox, then Chytil chase to the corner, abandon the slot. Not good, but who cares–3-goal lead.
Redd Foxx at fault.
Has Fast been on the ice for a goal against this year?
thanx, Headzo.
Foxx. B4I4QRU18?
Is it me or does Hank look like he aged a lot the past month? Was he coloring the beard and stopped?
No play for Mister Grey…
Beezle, he’s had a Salt & Pepper beard for a few years now. But his “I’m trying to push a dookie out” look is new.
Ruh oh…
Note that D pair. Woof
Soooo typical. Not as much as a touch in front from anyone.
Blatent trip on Chytil right in front of the ref, Wings break to the other end, Rangers never get the puck back. Two up.
Redd Foxx, complaining to Lindy on the bench. “Why do I have to play with Skjeil?”
Maybe we can evaluate new D pairs
On my son’s Roller hockey team I wore #40. My son took a magic marker and changed it to 4Q. I played several games before I found out..
Just keep Skjej off for final 5 please
Rangers kind of relaxed with a huge lead, stopped skating and being alert, hoping to save an energy and lightly skate to the end…
Q pairs the two guys who will bang together. What do I know?
All three pairs solid up to 4-0. Fox-Skjei not so good in garbage time.
This should be the Fox-without-Shay-woods final five.
My favorite athletes growing up?
Willie Mays / Tom Seaver
Jean Ratelle / Brad Park
Clyde Frazier / Dave Debushiere
and number 1 (drum roll …..)
Joe Willie Namath
Who plays roller hockey?!
Pear Bosc and Anjou.
I always wanted Arnold Palmer to win over Jack Nicklaus. I was often disappointed
And now that a-hole Namath is endlessly hawking Medicare Coverage.
Shay back with Trouba
PB – I was in a bar one night some years back that included Dave DeBusschere and he was kind of stumbling around. A buddy said to the bartender (whom we knew well) that he should cut off big Dave. Bartender leaned over and whispered to him: ‘YOU tell him he’s cut off, tough guy”
He also wore pantyhose. Who cares? He signed my authentic #12 Jersey.
I played Ice hockey in the 70’s thru 90’s. My son and his teenage friends joined a Roller Hockey League in the 2000’s. So I went along with them. Played hockey with my sons until I turned 62.
Shesty – love it
Namath with his twenty million dollars tells us he gets free rides to the doctor and somebody brings meals to his house all on Uncle Sam. lol.
Zib, THE, Shesty
Well, Joe willie’s commercial was OK the first 500 times. After that? Not so much…
Those two shots at the empty net During his 4th NHL game were clearly a message to Hank. “Step aside, pretty boy!”
Lots of good performances tonight, lots of weak opposition. The new pairings were good until they weren’t–DQ reverting to the normal pairs to close it out. Good shot count on D, but anticipate that will double with Hank in the nets. Weird how that works.
Stick Salute, Mama!
Lol. Heads to explode… SkjeL had most TOI. 2248
Trouba 2140 Fox 2059 D’Anger 1848 Lindgren 1624 Staal 1404
Chesty Puller. If Hank was the King, She’sTwerkin is the General?
Coos, that a great story. dDeBush died way to young.
And he never arse raped a 19 year old either!
Olga that was a typo right? You meant 26 😉
Czar, cooscoos, Czar.
And if Shesty has kids, they’ll be called Czardines…
I have all of Sting’s old albums with the Czars.
Beezle, Dyslexic.
A dyslexic man walks into a bra…
‘You don’t need to be a czar, baby, to be in my show…’
A man walks into a bar carrying a set of jumper cables. The bartender says “I’ll serve you, but don’t start anything”.
Olga stealing some of my best stuff.
Russians don’t take a dump without a plan, son
Dog limps into a bar. “I’m looking for the guy that shot my Paw.”
Came over to my mainframe with the TV still on and half paying attention, I hear Shesty being interviewed by Maloney and I say to myself: Damn, he talks just like a girl! true.
Man with a head the size of a pea sits down in a bar. Bartender says, ‘damn, what happened to you?” Guy says: ” I found a bottle with a beautiful genie and she gave me one wish. All I said was that I could use a little head.”
Pony walks into a bar, whispers “gimme a drink”. Bartender says “you got a cold?” Pony says, “No I’m just a little hoarse”.
A weasel walks into a bar. Bartender says, What’ll ya have? POP, goes the weasel.
Its too bad Shes twerkin isn’t German. Could use Falco’s der Kommissar when he comes on the ice
Olga pays no attention to anyone but himself. Humorous, but a shameless self-promoter.
By most accounts, that helicopter should never have gone airborne. LAPD was grounded due to poor conditions.
A man walks into a bar. He lifts up a guy barely 12 inches tall. He puts a piano in front of him and the little guy starts playing like Chopin. Bartender says “Man he’s great, Where’d you get him?” “I found a bottle with a beautiful genie and she gave me one wish. I thin she was a little deaf. She must have thought I asked for a 12 inch pianist.”
I miss Buddy Holly, not this ball bouncer.
A Buddhist walks into a bar. Bartender says would you like a drink? Buddhist says “Make me one with everything”.
The day the music died..
Speaking of Hank aging prematurely – I think it all started when he partnered in a bar with Avery. By the time they split, Henrik was thin, gray, and frazzled.
OK, last one…
Baby Seal walks into a club.
Sitting right across from Squirrely Bowman here in Anaheim and I want so much to go smack him upside his smug grill.
