NFT: NY Rangers @ St. Louis Blues. 8:00 PM on MSG

Happy birthday you old broken down Nancyboy

On Ranger threads as in years past. Maybe some feel we will be doormats in the East. I'm not one of those. Frankly the influx of youth has got me more excited this year. I think the road game tonight will be a big test.

I think we're still outside contenders. We have a goalie and forward depth. Still enough assets to upgrade the blue line. The early exit from the playoffs may leave our guys more rested for this year.

are a favorite in the East like the past couple seasons, but still consider them playoff contenders, and then as we have all seen once you get in the playoffs seeding means little.

and if Hank is on his game the Rangers have a goalie who is capable of winning a cup.

I don't think there's less posting on threads because people are down on the team, it's just October and a Saturday.

just my opinion.

I feel like the Rangers management on the D is like the Giants management on the OL.

What are they seeing that I'm not????

John Jerry, I mean Mark Staal, is the best.

Well it sounds like you agree -- though I think it's Newhouse and Girardi, LOL

he refuses to hold Girardi accountable.

My wife was wrapped up in a nursery school fundraiser all day, so I was flying solo with the kids. Had a blast with them, but long day! My 2 year old son just put a nice exclamation point on it by taking a shit in the bathtub. So I got to re-bathe him in my shower, and now bleaching the tub and toys in his bathroom.

Vodka. Rocks. Hockey. It is known.

90 more minutes to straighten this joint out and then I'm getting stuck on the sectional.

I would really try for Jacob Trouba and wait for Shattenkirk next offseason. Somehow they have to drop Nash and/or, by some miracle, move Staal or Girardi. It was so dumb to resign Staal long term.

Sorry but I had to lol nothing worse than the dreaded floater. Kick back and enjoy the game you earned it. I have only one, nearly 3 year old daughter but she's got energy to burn and then some. Was out all day with her -- awesome but exhausting.

I had to laugh out loud myself. We'll go crazy fast if we dont.

I mumbled a few four letter words when it happened, but I'm blessed to have that little bath-shitter to clean up after.

But yeah, #thatvodkatho

Warrior'd

is that 3 or 4 goals on the rush we've let up so far?

a lot so far.

Apparently has really thick legs.

It's just a blatant duff at the blue line directly handing him a breakaway

with a pot of beans!

This line just consumes the puck. Magnetic.

May be a Russian training preference. I recall there was a shirtless pic of Ovie a few years ago and his upper body was completely undeveloped.

To take a positive slant, but....fuck.

I remember the same thing with Malkin.

Ovechkin kind of looks chubby now. Not quite Phil Kessel, obviously.

What else would I be referencing, Seth?

I thought it was a weakish call.

but Hank is keeping us in the game

Jesus

because?

The Miller/Hayes/Nash line

.

Wake the hell up

Best part of Morning Joe!

Big goal.

By Mika. What a line! It was also the first time they move their feet in about 10 miniutes.

To

McD-Clendo
Staal-G
Skjei-Holden

?

Iron Swede!


No?

Just saw McD-Staal which I believe was off a faceoff.

Definitely mixing it up though.

Whatever it is, more Clendenning please

.

Girardi not on the bench for Rangers

With no McDonagh or Zibby

during those 11 seasons the Canadiens won 8 Stanley Cups.

Holy shit.

Than he did the other night.

On the road, early in the season, against a very good team, down 1 going into the third.

I'll take it. Let's roll the dice.

You could make that call 30 times per game, no exaggeration.

the system is rigged.

sign of things to come this season, even without scoring you can just see the speed is back

His accuracy is so bad.

lol - please don't ask such silly questions

Staal sucks

Clendo ans McD on the PP units.

The 2nd unit is the guy McD is used to playing PP with, and Clendo moves the puck chop-quick.
