absolute fuckin warrior. what a career.

 

I forget which episode of SPittin Chiclets it was, but Whitney was telling a story about how Girardi almost quit hockey when he was in the ECHL but his dad convinced him to just finish out the season and think about it then. He wound up getting up to the AHL by the end of that year and eventually made his way to NY, and signed himself a pretty ticket along the way.

 

I consider G a Rangers legend. maybe not 'retire his number' status but a legend nonetheless

 

^I'm totally on board with this! Absolutely a warrior. G ate more pucks than we can count -- that would be a stat to learn. How many shots did he block as a Ranger? In his career? Guy will be black-and-blue for years recovering from those blocks. I'm on the fence about the number retirement but he should get a night of honor at MSG to celebrate his time with us.

These guys are playing to try to not upset Quinn, instead of playing to win.

 

Horrible sign.

 

They?re upsetting me. LOL

Tonight?s game is just entertainment. I hope.

D more ?holy? than a communion wafer.

^This! :clap:

Secondary being exposed like a streaker at a burka convention.

Lots of good things on this team. Going to be fun to watch.

Man Trouba can launch rockets.

Anderson scores. Good for him.

Anderson scores. Good for him.

Yo. It?s 2 periods into the first preseason game and people are making sweeping judgements. C?mon now.

 

Listen. I?m not killing anyone. Quinn has made it a point to talk about physicality. You?d think it would be apparent tonight. Guys wanting to make an impression and all that. I?m on board with letting this all shake out and let?s see what we are 20 games in but I?m just pointing out that what I thought might be an obvious change doesn?t appear to be all that obvious.

Kind of sloppy nonphyscial crap by NYR D that was a problem the last few seasons.

 

I was just going to post about the team in general. So far through 25 minutes of play, and outside of the 2 fights (one of them was not even a fight) the NYR still don?t show me much of a physical identity.

 

If we can become a high scoring team, ok I can live with that. But we know that doesn?t last. Quinn wants us to be ?difficult to play against.? Is this, that?

GOaL!! Haley

Panarin lights the lamp!!

Trautwig looks like he's going to drop dead mid-sentence. His teeth look better than him. #AdiosAl

 

He has to be a heavy smoker.

Crawley get an assist on that?

OMG! Ding! Ding! Light the lamp...

Post after post after post!

Feels good seeing NYR hockey again.

Here we go!!!! ....talk about "must watch TV"!!!!

 

LOL

Does camp seem short? They started skating Friday and the first pre-season game is tomorrow night only 5 days later. Compared to the past where guys were not in shape, I think guys are now better prepared. Still, taking multiple shifts with line mates is what?s needed most IMO. Coach teaching too. Am I off-base?

We'd all love to see Buch play up to what we hope is high-output potential. Quinn is certainly giving him a shot!

 

(I was at MSG last night sitting on The Bridge for Brandi Carlyle concert...and I must admit, looking around at the NYR banners and knowing the season is just around the bend got me pretty stoked. LGR!)

No nonsense guy - that comes through clearly. Excited to see "what kind of team we are" this year. #progress is what we want

:thumbs:

Thought that was the ever-so-short-lived Stills Young Band.
