Sean Avery skimmed a shot from the right dot off Cam Ward's extended right pad with 44 seconds to go in the period for the two-goal lead. Avery is on fire, with six goals in seven games. Great pass from Jagr and backhander under crossbar by Dubinsky for the first one. Rangers outshot Canes 15-5.
Not as physical a game as expected so far...why isn;t Ruutu wearing a full cage to protect those stitches and eye?...
More coming...

hows that for youth. 3 vets 3 points. 4 youth 4 points.
one more period boys!
Anyone else want to dump Backman already?
i do, can he take any more penalties. maybe he was traded to carolina not the rangers cause hes doing more for car than he is for us
This is one of the biggest reasons people stopped watching the NHL, the HORRIBLE, officiating. I don't know which refs are worse, the ones in professional wrestling, who never see the guy with the steel chair (obviously done for ammusement) or these BLIND AS A BAT, inconsistent offcials who suck the LIFE OUT OF A GAME. This has been a problem since the lockout. The difference in the major sports is that the refs are consisitent and the fans understand the calls. Colin Cambell do your job.
Backman is garbage.
Worst officiating I've ever seen. Quick whistle on Gomez goal, 10 minute misconducts, missed flying elbow hit on Rozsival, wrong player for a 4 minute penalty, no call on Walker when he grabbed Avery.
Dubinsky, Callahan, Dawes, Prucha, Sjostrom get way too little icetime, while Betts, Straka, Drury, Jagr get way too much.
you got to laugh about Marian Hossa. When will the GMs lean not to trade half their farm for a playoff rental?
Officiating was, once again, pretty bad.
backman had a bad game, that was obvious. chalk it up to nerves, and give the guy a chance before y'all rip him a new one.
the officials werent great either. the hit by ruutu on rosie was 5 minute material, imo
how but that dubie tho!!..every game he gets better, its awesome to watch.
my opinion dubinsky has to start to be considered for rookie of the year.
Also Dawes really is becoming an excellent NHL player. I almost completely gave up on him a year ago, thought he might be too small and one dimensional AHL goal scorer. I have been really impressed by his defensive play, hustle, grit, hockey sense, checking and especially playmaking.
if next season dead weight like Straka, Shanahan, Jagr, and Betts are gone then I think Prucha, Dawes, Dubinsky, Callahan get 30+ goals each once they get proper icetime and PP time. Then again with Renney around that is a pipe dream.
give the kid a chance. Nerves. Nerves. Nerves! Being traded isn't easy for everyone.
that Dubi goal was 100% awesome. He is going to be a major part of this team for years to come.
Someday Jagr will be gone, but little Jagr Cherepanov is waiting in the wings. Should make for great times ahead!
FYI
Cherepanov is doing nothing this year.
Bob,
how can you possible say that Dubinsky gets too little ice time and Jagr gets too much?
Hello?????
They are on the same line ya boooooob.
Never a day goes by where I don't shake my head at what someone says on this blog.
"you got to laugh about Marian Hossa. When will the GMs lean not to trade half their farm for a playoff rental?"
Sather knows, he doesn't do it and never has as Rangers GM.
Dude,
Of course Sather hasn't traded for a playoff rental before.... they never made the playoffs under him until 2 years ago!
OMG I THOUGHT WE WERE LOOKING FOR A D-MAN, WHO IS THIS BACKMAN JOKE...... J.D. SCREWED US! sjostrom didnt look to bad though, i liked it when, i think it was somewhewr in hte 2nd period, he couldnt get up ice with the puck, but he drew a penalty on eric stall cross checking.... wait it was the third period, the end of the game pretty much... i though that was almost as huge as shannys goal
Busey,
you never heard of trading for a rental to try and make the playoffs?
Ask an Islanders fan that one, or better yet, Atlanta last year.
Or even better, Washington this year.
"Bob,

wow, can fans get any more clueless than Dude?
Bob,
how was my point wrong.
You can't call someone clueless and than not back it up.
My point.
Jagr and Dubinsky have the same ice time, they are on the same line.
Your point.
Jagr gets too much ice time, Dubinsky gets too little.
Even you must see how dumb that statement is???? Is it possible?
bob you got owned.
admit it.
by the way bob, jagr only played 14 and 3/4 minutes last night.... ouch.
Dude,
I was just taking a dig at Sather since the the team wasn't making the playoffs his first few years. Hence, no need for a rental...
it was a joke.
Guess not :(
Malik was awesome last night. Yes, I wrote Mailk. It hurts to write it, credit where credit is do.
agreed if he keeps playing like that i WANT him in the line up
Wow someone finally realizes Malik is solid. Maybe there is hope for intelligent life on this blog.
Going to agree with TJ for now chalk Backmans performance last night up to nerves and trying a bit too hard. I guess it works good for Malik now though. All the boo birds can hate on Backman after one game and Malik can slide a bit. lol
Sjostrom looked good last night. Even got a shot at the first line when Avery went to the box. When was the last time you seen a guy on our fourth line go to the net like that (Betts will occasionally). He could have scored, would have been great.
The ice time debate isn't really worth it but, I'll bite. It's a non-factor to me. The guys who averaged more do more.
First off Prucha didn't play so he got no ice time. lol.
Dubinsky, Callahan and Dawes were all 1-2 minutes away from Jagrs 14:42. Sjostrom played 11:27 on the fourth line. 4.5 minutes more then Hollwegs 7 minutes, which is two minutes less than Betts who also kills penalties. Straka and Drury played 18:40 roughly and we all know they kill the penalties. The next highest player being gomez somewhere around 17. So really, they all average out with the exception of a few who play less or more for the obvious reasons.
I can't believe I just wasted 5 minutes looking at ice time really.
The Rangers are11-3-2 since the January 22 Home and Home with Atlanta. 24 points out of possible 32 for in the last month +. Out scoring most opponents very well. Yet some people want to complain about the one or two players that have a rough night. Which happens to every team every night, thats why they play hockey as teams! Some want to call out Renney for the job he has done with this team which is just ludicrous. Best coach here in years and have to give the guy credit this last tinkering with the team has obviously done something. Good job Tom. And some still want the 4th line to be an offensive power house, the kids to play more and the team to call up even more youth.
I don't get it, maybe I just don't get it!
Big three games coming up. Hope the train keeps rolling. Can be huge and they have been playing huge.
Hey Zipay I know there is only so much you can do but its soooo disgusting how hockey never makes the back page...its still FEB and baseball has been all over the back for the last 3 months who cares...This sport struggles in the usa b/c of the media we have here...who cares if MILLedge is saying bad things about the METs whaaaa how is that worthy of a back page while the resurgent play of the RANGERS is huge right now just dont get it..Its horrible if you ask me.. I MEAN THINK ABOUT WHATS ON TODAY'S BACK PAGE....NY MEDIA IS RUNNING NY HOCKEY RIGHT OUT OF NY
JOHN,
Good point man, no love for the Hockey.
Also
Zipay,
is there any word or talk on Mara's situation? Beside the obvious that we hear about the face surgery? That hit was pretty good and I am thinking his brain had to get rattled. Maybe out longer then they say? Concussed? That time of the year and you can't just call this one a "Upper Body Injury".
Don't the refs even know the rules? Why was Carolina given a power play after a delayed penaty to Backman and they scored during that time?
HORRIBLE OFFICIATING!!! Missed call on Ruutu and bad calls made against Avery for what appeared to be skating backwards to avoid the 'cane from talking to him, not sure how that was a penalty.
Dubinsky gets better every game, love that kid and can't wait for him to add about 15lbs of muscle.
Bob,
You are the worst poster on any blog I have read. You have now twice (at least that I have seen) referred to Straka and Shanny as "soft" & "dead weight". You are clueless!!!! Straka goes 100% each and every shift. Would you lay down in front of a Chara slap shot? Let me answer my own question...no!!!! Shanny is an absolute warrior and has been for 20 years. And I wouldn't mind both these players resigning for another year. I will say that I think Shanny is being giving a bit too much in bonus money, but I am not the GM.
and I love the people already calling for Backman's head because of one game with some bad penalties. I liked his positioning and I liked his first penalty where he cross-checked the 'cane in the face at the blueline. Other teams have done it to us all year (that means you Darien Hatcher!!!) I think it makes the forward think twice when crossing the blueline the next time.
I work in Television and Radio, I have for 15 years now…
It’s a game, pat my back I’ll pat yours.
Like some Congressmen take money from old fashion radio to withhold satellite’s merger, (or medication company’s…etc.etc.)
News papers take promotional, press passes and advertising from Football and Baseball with the additional intention of suppressing Hockey coverage; helping to keep fan bases in place. Which is why you wouldn’t see regular hockey news on the cover of a major mag, rag or tab, not unless the news is bigger than the sport. I.E. Champs, Drugs, Lawsuits.
These things happen at the highest of levels.
Government does the same with the news. It’s all controlled and run by someone who chooses what’s good for you to read/watch and what isn’t. Keep the citizens content, hopeful and divided. This way there is less chance of the population being able to unite and rock the boat. That’s one of the first things the Navy taught me in Annapolis.
I also have read the NFL/ESPN agreement. Man, it would drive you guys crazy.
When a team that is short handed takes a penalty, the penalty is called even if a goal is scored. The only way the penalty on Backman would not have been called is if the Rangers finished killing off the double minor before the puck went in.
The refs did make the correct call here.

Sorry for the double post
How about the genius GM who sent Gratton down to hartford and now if he is recalled he would have to go through re entry waivers. That is yet again another brilliant move by a has been gm who knows Orr is hurting and we play the cryers,devils and icelanders within the week. So my guess is he is hoping that they all play like wussies against his team that mainly has wussies on it. But in reality they are chomping at the bit to pound this team just like how carolina was all over hank in net and no one to do anything about it. Sather has just proved just how bad he is with the players he picked up and how he sent down the only useful one in the bunch. Along with bachman taking one bad penalty after another we now have the human pilon as a first pair d-man what an e-fffing joke that is. I can see the parade now .yea the parade to the golf courses.As long as sather is here the Rangers will be the laughing stock of the league, and thats a league that has a team in atlanta and nashville
Vincea
where did you read that Gratton needs to go through re-entry waivers?
Are you ever happy with the team?
Burt, I read that he needs to go through re entry waivers in the Post because he is in the minors so to bring him up just like anybody else(pock etc) he can be claimed and we would have to pay 1/2 his salary. I am happy when we win. But I am wise enough to see what is wrong with the team ,it's coach and it's so called gm not like so many that are just blinded by the Ranger name on the jersey. Wake up and smell the coffee this team is in trouble unless you are one of the blind mice that just sat ray ray rangers!

Guys like Vincea and Lenny are never happy. Probable do to complete boredom in their miserable lives. If it isn’t one thing it’s another. Why don’t you find another place to cry and whine about your favorite team?
There are 10 players with 20 points or more. 4 more on the cusp of reaching 20 pts. Out of those 14 players, 5 are farm grown youth.
If the Ranger were to keep up their current pace, there will be possibly 9 players with 30 pts or more.
I might be off here a little, but don’t those kind of numbers show that the team is scoring evenly through the first 3 lines, along with a participating defense?
Does anyone care to do a little homework?
When was the last season that the Rangers had 6 players with 40 pts or more, or 9 players with 30 points or more? ( at the end of the reg season?)
Who was that in Malik's jersey last night. It does hurt to say it but Malik played well 2 games in a row. He actually threw one hit in both games. It took f@#king long enough! Now lets not break our arms patting him on the back just yet. He's still not a top pair d-man. Staal should be getting those minutes. Actually Boyle should be getting those minutes but I won't go into that now. ; ) I hope they keep it up.
One reason this team looked good vs. the tobacco farmers is that Strudwick, and Mara were not out there, mucking it up. Addition by subtraction can be more upgrading than addition by itself. It not your strengths so much as your weaknesses which determine your fate.
I have to chime in in this one. Vincea, this organization frustrates the sh!t out of me too but reminding everyone every day isn't going to change anything. I agree that there is always room for improvement. This team has weeknesses and I would agree that Renney can be one of them. That being said, we're stuck with them for now so let's hope they defy the odd's and win. Worse teams have won it all so there's always a chance. Good game last night.
omg!!
kocur, vincea and bob you guys are hilarious. even when you make a "positive" statement about the team, you cant help but make a negative one right after. wether you 3 realize it or not this team is on absolute fire!!...and are just as good as anyone in the east.
with your attitudes sounds like this team is on an 8 game losing streak. you 3 could put a negative "spin" on winnin the lotto. you ever see SNL, with debbie downer, if u have u know what i mean. so like i state basically everyday, take your negativity towards slats or renney or whatever else bothers you and create your own blog about how bad this team is. its foolish of you to hang around here and make invalid points constantly and not expect to be called out on it. like the gratton point is actully bordering on hysterical you make. he played 2 games in phoenix this year, he may never play a game for them, that alone makes you freak out i think. HE WAS A USELESS PART IN THE TRADE!!, HE'S ANOTHER RYAN HOLLWEG!!..yet you prolly think we need more ryan hollwegs in the line-up. another thing, if dawes' ice time is our biggest problom, were in pretty good shape.
either you 3 are the sorriest ranger fans ever, the same person(which is real scary to think), or your isles fans in disguise..either way skedaddle yo azzes outta here.
vincea and Kocur,
look at you guys just clinging desperately, ever so desperately, trying to hang onto the negative!
how about that pass from Jagr to Dubinsky last night?
no? did nuthin for ya?
Avery and Dubi are carrying Jagr!
: O
"Avery and Dubi are carrying Jagr!"
I distinctly remeber this blog ripping Renney a new one after he announced he was uniting these three as a line.
Yet, no one ever comes back and admits they were wrong.
I wonder why?
No balls?
Burt and Bear, I don't remember anyone voting on you too clowns being in charge of this board. If you don't like a post don't read it. Burt wow that was really clever burger flipping job wow how long did that take you to come up with that or did your mommy help you? Burt don't come to a battle of wits because you are unarmed. Kocur you get partial credit for that line since you used it first even though I already new it lol. Kocur your right we are stuck with what we have but it really pisses me off that are gm is so useless and we are reminded of it on a daily basis thats why it seems I say something negative every day. But that's better than the blind posters who just glance over the top and don't think about the real meat of the issue. Have to say i enjoy your posts Kocur and don't take these punks s#it give it right back to them , Vince
Ok, after these last two posts from vincea and Kocur, and those earlier from Bob, are people sill going to point at me as the problem around here?
Vincea, and all the other negative Ranger fans, you guys amaze me. If the Rangers won 20 games in a row when they lost their next one you would be calling for Renney to be fired, Jagr, Shanahan, Straka, and whoever else to be traded, released, bought out, you truly are unbelievable. Do you get any sense of enjoyment out of watching the team win? One word RELAX, there's no such thing as a perfect team, they aren't actually going to win every game believe it or not, if you can learn to accept that maybe you can allow yourself to enjoy some of the good things about the team more.
All we ever here from you is our gm is useless, or coach is useless, jagr's useless waaah waaah waaah like a little baby, its becoming obvious you don't know anything about hockey.
Another expert. That makes 3. Any more?
hahahaha
now you guys are being Funny.
TJ,
right on brother, right on!
Kocur,
Bro, I know you've got a head on your shoulders man. You don't belong in the Lenny, Vincea group of never happy always bi-otch'in etc. etc.
The team is the best it's been all year. Better than Oct. Scoring, hitting, fighting back for one another. Hank is back to form, Vali has provin he can pinch hit with 2 shut outs vs the Cryers.
They might make the playoffs. might. make. the. playoffs. Be happy.
Think of it this way, look at the Islanders. 25 years since anything good has gone on there. The future is completely up in the air.
Comrie! 12 yrs of worry over DP's hip and head. C'mon man. Celebrate with the rest of us.
excuse the spelling errors please, I'm in a rush... it's Friday!
Though Colton Orr missed his second straight with a bruised sternum, the Blueshirts did not summon enforcer Josh Gratton from the AHL Wolf Pack to fill his spot, instead going with Fredrik Sjostrom. That's because Gratton, acquired from the Phoenix organization Tuesday, requires re-entry waivers.
It's all but impossible to foresee Gratton clearing on re-entry, because the cost of claiming him would amount to just over $63,000, half the approximate $126,000 remaining on his contract. Teams such as the Flyers or Islanders, battling the Rangers for a playoff spot, likely would invest to block the Blueshirts from filling a need
Burt if you new anything about hockey i wouldn't need to show you this. Greg , I've forgotten more than you know ass wipe
Anon...I am happy. I just hate Dude and TJ cause they just can't leave it alone. No post is ever good enough. F#@k them! I love most of the team I just don't agree with most of the moves by managment. Is that so f#@king hard for those idiots to grasp.
Orr looks to be returning Sunday from what I can see. So there you go, got a tough guy. Better then Gratton who has not proved squat yet in the NHL. I thought he would replace the injured Orr for a bit. Now I look at it and don't think that kid has much of a shot with the big club at all. But, all kids should right? LOL
Bear,
To answer the trivia:
In 1993-94 the Rangers had,
10 with 30 or more.
Amonte, Nemchinov, Gartner, Tikkanen, Kovalev, Larmer, Leetch, Graves, Messier, Zubov.
9 with 40 or more.
Nemchinov, Gartner, Tikkanen, Kovalev, Larmer, Leetch, Graves, Messier, Zubov. (Amonte misses by two with 38 pts)
8 with 50 or more.
Gartner, Tikkanen, Kovalev, Larmer, Leetch, Graves, Messier, Zubov. (Nemchinov misses by one with 49 pts)
5 with 60 or more.
Larmer, Leetch, Graves, Messier, Zubov.
4 with 70 or more.
Leetch, Graves, Messier, Zubov.
2 with 80 or more.
Messier, Zubov. (Leetch and Grave both miss 80 by 1 pt, 79)
Zubov lead the team with 89. 12 Goals and 77 Assists.
Kocur is it you that emails Al and Stan before the games on MSG with the same name?
Kocur,
I think you'd rather be right and the Rangers fall apart than be wrong and the Rangers win,
That's about as nice as I ca be to you.
TJ... Like you make any valid points in your post's. All your posts are reactions to other peoples posts. No hockey, just critisism. F#@K you!
I'm sorry,
Kocur that was me.
Try a different approach. What can I say?
Vincea, Yea i read that just like everyone else, you copied and pasted someones article and tried to act like you know something everyone else doesn't, great job out of you. Big deal it's not like Orr is out for the rest of the season he's day to day for crying out loud. He'll probably be in the lineup Sunday and your worried about not being able to call up a fighter for a game the Rangers might not even need him for because Orr will probably play. And if he doesn't, BIG DEAL
Up in the blues... Yes it's me.
"Anon...I am happy. I just hate Dude and TJ cause they just can't leave it alone. No post is ever good enough. F#@k them! I love most of the team I just don't agree with most of the moves by managment. Is that so f#@king hard for those idiots to grasp."
you hate us cause someone finally realized how dumb and stupid you really are...its simple, go create a blog with vinny boom bots there, and you'll never have to see us again..you can even bitch about the way henrik drinks his water or the way strudwick wears his moustache..have a blast!!
First, the Rangers trade with Phoenix is complete garbage, we got players that will never play, so Sather was an idiot.
Now it comes out that one of those complete pieces of garbage can't be brought up without passing through waivers, so it's a big deal?
I though Gratton was garbage anyway? So what does it matter?
Prucha is healthy anyway. Who would we send down to Hartford to make room for Gratton in the first place?
Let me guess, someone is going to say Jagr.
Blues
Always does his homework. Bro you are a model citizen around here. Good for you and kepp the facts coming.
Bear,
good point. Good question and keep them coming.
Slick
Kocur, thought it was.
Zipay,
Can we get a new blog? PLEASE! You disappeared after one last night.
Practice today?
How did it go?
Prucha?
Orr?
Mara?
Backmans first game?
Sjostrom first game?
ANYTHING!
Slick,
Thanks, the model citizen...LOL
I just like to talk and learn about the sport and the team. Today and old. Bears question forced me to learn some about that team that I either forgotten or just opened my eyes. They teared it up that year as a team!
I can't tell you how many times I type a Comment, re-read it before I hit post and delete the whole thing. It is hard to sit back and watch some of these comments. But, they say opinions are like...
Later man, and have fun watching the playoffs!
It's happening, I 'guarantee' it!
Did you not read all of this?

Your "Blog police" act is tiresome. Let people post without your opinion of their opinion. I dare you!
Did you not read all of this?
Your "Blog police" act is tiresome. Let people post without your opinion of their opinion. I dare you!
i did read it, and still for the life of me dont get how someone like yourself, could be so dumb. why you so sensative? i dont cry when you insult me. i just like calling out the moronic points like the ones you make. there opinions on other opinions. i give props when someone makes a good point, yet i have never gave you any props, hmm wonder why.
its just comical to me, how you and others, continue to cry about what the front office is doing and how bad of a state the team is in.
i asked you a few posts back..what has renney done thats so beyond comprehension in last 10 games or so, yet you never answered. you obviously think he's been terrible, so enlighten us...make a vaid point about it too please...im waiting...
You obviously are clueless about waivers. It has nothing to do with how many "callups" you have left since there isn't any limit to call ups. It has to do with how many games the player has been in the NHL or if it's been 3 years since they signed their first NHL contract. but you already knew that right.
Maybe you just forgot since you claim to have forgotten more than I know? yea must be that..
wow tough day in the blog. i purposely left the yankee blog because of all the bickering and negative b.s. posted by posers.
one thing we all can agree on is that we want the rangers to do well and play hard.
renny is the coach because he knows a thing or two about hockey.
jagr is the 1st line LW because he has a closet full of trophies, including 2 stanley cups.
and gratton is just another 4th line tough guy.
if we, who continually write on this blog, want to change things, try out for the rangers next october or apply for the coaching position.
if not, post your opinion and see where it goes. if you dont agree, then dont comment!
Anon I agree that I was wrong with my waiver statement.Just where did you have to go to find it out? Why don't you use your real name to post? Witness protection or just afraid to let people know who you really are?
Lenny, Vince, Bob and other "debbie downers",
You accuse the guys of hating you or drinking the kool-aid etc...but do you see that every single one of your posts is nothing but a criticism? That is why people don't want you on here.
There is room for criticism of the team and of some of Renney's moves (like over playing the 4th line towards the end of a game), but every single post you guys put up is just negative negative negative negative and on and on. Why do you bother even "rooting" for the rangers? It really seems like you guys are here just to hate the team and coaches and GM etc. Is there anything the team could do to make you guys happy? If we traded for Campbell then I think you would have argued that we needed Hossa...If we got Hossa then you would argue that he will take a position away from Prucha or Byers or Jessiman or some other kid like Sanguinettie (who is in the JR's and therefor can't even be on the team, but facts don't seem to matter much to you guys).
He are the facts... the Rangers are in a playoff position and I think about 6 points out of FIRST PLACE. We have a franchise goalie, two franchise centers, up and coming studs like Staal and Dubinsky but all you guys can do is criticise. Even after a huge win over a conference rival all you guys can do is complain that Gratton should have played or that Renney should have played Callahan for an extra 30 seconds. The general Ranger fan is happy with the win and the two points.
I think it was Dude who pointed out that you guys would be happier if the Rangers failed because you would then be "proven" right. WHY CAN YOU NOT JUST ENJOY THE FIGHT FOR THE PLAYOFF's?????
How about this....Sjostrom didn't score a hat trick so he should sit....Dubinsky only scored one amazing goal so he should sit. Lundqvist let in two goals so he should sit....Shanny should have scored on his two other scoring chances so he should sit....Jagr didn't dominate like he used to when he was 19 so he should sit....Straka stopped skating for about two seconds at 13:14 of the second period so he should sit....etc etc etc etc etc. get the point??
WHY ARE YOU GUYS RANGER FANS????? Answer that question please!!!!!!!!!! I can only imagine how awful it most have been to be around you guys during the decade of missed playoffs...did Sather or Renney have nothing to do with bringing the Rangers back to respectability or was the last 2 1/2 yrs just complete blind luck??
here is the ideal line up for the New York Debbie Downers
Dawes/ Dubinsky/ Prucha
Callahan/ Anisimov/ Byers
Paranteu/ #1 draft pick in 2010/ Jessiman
Gratton/ anybody but Betts/ anybody but Hollweg
Sanguinetti/ Staal
Pock/ Hutchinson
???/ ????
Wiikiman in goal with anybody but Hank as back up
this team is guaranteed to win 82 games a year by at least 37 goals and the cup will be ours for the next 15 years. oh, and the team will be coached by a committee of Vincea, lenny, bob & kocur. But Kocur won't like the way Lenny changes lines and I am positive that Bob will not agree with the draft pick that Vincea chooses for the 3rd line center position. Sound about right??
It was me, but after the blog rejected my post twice in a row I guess I forgot to enter my name the third time. Oops, but no I have never entered anything under anonymous I don't have to hide from my posts.
Thanks Greg I thought it was one of the other posters who use the namw. Sorry
JOKE!!! that was awesome! !!!!
WAHHHHWAHHHH!!!
very good points, joke!!..you hit the nail(S) on the head....the more people that call out these idiots, the more chance theyre splitsville. (no pun intended-rangerville)
vinny i think is capable of being a lil bit positive and making a valid point. joey the kocur hockey moron on the other hand is postively unpositive and needs to find a new team to root for. perhaps the ducks will do, or whoever will win the cup this year. cuz even he couldnt find anything wrong with the defending or current champ.
Blues, check out Saint John by Cold War Kids. You too Zip.
