Pat Leonard@PLeonardNYDN · 9h "I couldn't be prouder to be a f------ New York Ranger with you guys." - St. Louis
Very UnRanger like Hack...very. Common in Hockey but cant remember anything like this either. Back in the late 70s, my dad begged me everynight to watch hockey and the Rangers. He was a nut fan...nuts. One night, a bit buzzed, I came home and watched a Ranger Islander game with him and I was hooked...but didn't go to a game until several years later. First game was a Flyer/Ranger game and I believe it was the night or right around a few days after Reagan was shot. It was a 0-0 game that ended like that and I just remember saying to myself that was the best sporting event I ever attended. Was hooked. Never before could I ever remember a fan base...an event where a teams fans loved their team so much. After that it was over. It was an every night event and brought my buddies into it. Love the Jets...love the Yanks...on and off have loved the Knicks...but the Rangers? Its just a unique love affair that no other fan base will ever understand. So much heartache and you just keep coming back for more.
Incredible game. I've been to a LOT of games over the past 8 years or so. Last night ranks pretty high. Great game to experience in person. Idk about what the place sounded like on TV but that's the loudest I can remember it sounding since before the "transformation".
holy smokes the cupcakes have stuffed it in my face, yippee!!! gutsy wins from the boys, I didn't think they had it in them. I really didn't. only one thing scares me as of late, when henrik handles the puck. my heart starts fluttering like it used to when the Yankees would bring dick tidrow in from the bullpen many many moons ago........................ there really isn't much more satisfying for me than watching the flightless Antarctic waterfowl squirm and sweat. watching sid the douche cry is like watching a beautiful sunset for me.
Cool speech after game from MSL: LINK: http://www.nydailynews.com/blogs/ra...r-f-new-york-ranger-guys-blog-entry-1.1788598
ha...great one..dick tidrow..the walrus. That was a great one tommy. Yeah..I hear you...so huge when they are all over the net with less then a minute to go..but you have the 2 goal lead...its like feet kicked up...much easier to watch! instead of a 1 goal lead.
i was screaming for another goal and brassard came through! in reality, henrik tossed a no-no yesterday, the pens lone score was a Chinese goal was off klein. still trying to stay grounded for tomorrow, it's a tall order going in there and winning again for a third time don't ya think? gonna be tough. I might take the whole day off tomorrow, sun it up on the beach, try and stay cool as a cucumber as long as possible, cuz come game time i'll be en fuego!
Yeah tommy..its screaming of overtime. Three different possibilities. 1. Rangers continue dominance and we have another 3 to 1 4 to 1 or 4 to 2 game. 2. Pens respond at home..too many weapons get loose and even though HL plays solid..they put up a 4 spot and its too much. 3. Both teams play a typical game 7..close to the vest..and we are sitting there with 5 minutes to go tied..up 1..or down 1. Number 3 sounds like the ticket and the heart really isn't in the mood for that..but its playoff hockey and that's what we, the fans, signed up for. Hey..4 days ago we would take that scenario in a second right? lol.....LGR!
Oh...and yeah tommy..that goal HL gave up shouldn't count against him at all...there are deflections..and then there is that..that was nuts. HL was incredible and if its now that he chooses to be KING...couldn't have been at a better time.
Dan Rosen@drosennhl · 3m Henrik Lundqvist is 4-0 with a 0.75 GAA, a .973 save percentage and one shutout in his last four Game 7s.
NY Rangers Zone@NYRangersZone · 40m #NYR still lead league in postseason with 229 blocked shots. Blackhawks #2 with 195; Canadiens #3 with 181
Slewfooting and spearing don't get that fuckin little asshole a suspension or fine, but a water shower by Hank gets fined the max $5000, more evidence why this league is a laughing stock
"Dirt" wasn't that bad. Long relief, would come in when a starter got lit up early and eat up innings. Went 11-4 one year and overall was 41-34 with Yanks. He wasn't great but he wasn't Ed Whitson ; ) I know we had you left for dead down 3-1 , but somehow Rangers…..somehow…..
The NHL committee is an absolute joke..its so sad that its funny. A guy can spear a guy..or a guy can throw a guys head into the glass but if he gets hurt...its a suspension. If he doesnt get hurt..its ok. A guy shoots a gun and misses the target so he gets off free...another guy hits the target and goes to jail? Those that make the decisions make the sport of hockey just a notch above wrestling when it comes to respect...just a notch. A guy tries to remove another guys balls...and gets nothing...a guy squirts some water at a player..and gets fined. The sport of hockey is so great that its able to still be enjoyed and taken seriously even though it does everything it can to be laughed at and ridiculed by those that think hockey is a bit of a joke. I mean..you cant make this stuff up.
DIRT!!! Good memory Joe...very good memory sir. Yeah..he actually had some solid years as a long reliever..very solid years.
