"You can't find any excuses for not going after that win. It doesn't matter if you're missing two guys or 10 guys. The mentality is that you try to get the 'W.' Just going to have to do it tomorrow."

[josh]

lol.

 

I always get told, "you know they can't hear you, right?"

[paddynyc]

Lets Go Rangers !!! I hope I wake up the next day with a Rangers win to late for me

[LarryBiv]

lol.

 

I always get told, "you know they can't hear you, right?"

 

Omg! Heard that all the time......I've calmed down quite a bit.......but its starting to come back again.....think it has to do with the lousy play of late.

Our bottom six is liking in kind with the bottom feeders in the sea world. Except for Jesper, but u know what i mean. Its pretty scary looking and those "mismatches" that Valley was mentioning, look like it may continue. What once was a pretty solid bottom six is........well u know.

This bottom 6 could be a blessing in disguise.

 

"We've" complained all season about the the effort, willingness, jump, etc. These fresh legs could add a ton of energy to the lineup that we were missing. Might even get some of the vets to get going, take it to the next gear. Overall, I havent been disappointed by any call-ups this season.

 

worse comes to worse, we are giving some young guys some good experience.

1030, duck.

yeah... i dont think I'm lasting the entire time. the drinking is slowing and the dog already went out...

[Dunny]

If they go down by two, I'm out.

[josh]

If they go down by two, I'm out.

 

but thats usually when they play their best hockey. I'm done if they're up by 1.

[4EverRangerFrank]

LGR!! SIRIUS 219 until I get home.

[4EverRangerFrank]

Yes!!

[Dunny]

Dijonnaise!

[josh]

[Dunny]

[Parsley]
