Sharpshooter Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 4 minutes ago, Ozzy said: Sharpy, I was at a game back in the 80's where the Rangers, played the Isles in a game at the Colusium, where we got killed 10-2. The Isles at the time had a promotion with Wendy's where if the Isles scored 5 goals, you could use your ticket to get a free bowl of chili at Wendy's. Well, fast forward to a return match against the Islanders at MSG later that season, where I'm sitting in the Blues, and the Rangers get on top of the Isles and beat them 5-2. When the Rangers scored the 5th goal, someone in the stands threw a huge bowl of chili on the ice from the stands!!! Needless to say I almost pee'd my pants!!! LOL You never know what to expect from NY fans....we're the best ...and worst at the same time!! But there's no better place to win! I remember hearing about that game, but that's a great follow up story. LOL It also harkens back to the days where MSG was truly an intimating place to play. Lots of things coming from the blue seaters. lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now if you yell too loud, security comes over with 4 or 5 other security members as if you’re strapped up with C4. The Garden went from being an intimidating place to play to a fucking morgue where security stalks customers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's still intimidating, but just for Rangers fans this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phillyb Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 He couldn’t skate before. Sorta goes into the boards awkwardly (doesn’t even spill, if you will) and goes off the ice. TOR’s got two more years? Lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichieNextel305 Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 (edited) I know the kid is a superstar. But I have never seen a young guy come into this league and have such an ego and be such a douche to the media. And this is a pretty consistent occurance.

Sharpshooter Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 I feel like even Crosby wasn't this bad ever, or at least when he was young. I get it that there's a certain integrity with being first overall and all of that, but stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpshooter Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 Did anyone catch that Maple Leafs/Blue Jackets game last night? Columbus enters the third up 5-0. Toronto comes back to tie it, getting three goals in the last three-plus minutes. Matthews scores two in the last 90 seconds, only for them to lose in overtime after all of that. lol Damn.

I still remember us losing that game in Montreal awhile back while winning 5-0. Brutal but that sucks for them they couldn’t finish the job in OT.

The media asks dumb questions. We can't complain that these players are robots and then also complain when they do things like this. Have you seen the way McDavid and Draisaitl treat Edmonton media for stupid questions? I also wonder who asked it and why he responded that way. You can't just write whatever you want about a player and then expect them to be cordial. Larry Brooks knows this better than anyone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it was the 4th time it was asked, same stupid question about running into his brother on the ice. The guy just scored the ot game winner. Good for him. Ask stupid questions over and over and here's what you get. Good for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichieNextel305 Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 He has no patience for the media. At all. He’s said on multiple occasions he hates talking to them and makes it known. I guess I got spoiled with the local teams having guys like Lundqvist and Elias who were always more than willing to talk to the media regardless of anything.

Sharpshooter Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 I get not wanting to be in the mood to talk to the most of the time. Most of them just ask dumb shit anyway, but it comes with being an athlete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karan Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 Kuzmenko a healthy scratch again. Doesn't seem like him and Tocchet have really clicked. Gotta wonder if he'll be moved at some point this season. Coming off a 39G season could fetch a pretty good return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valriera Posted December 28, 2023 Share Posted December 28, 2023 (edited) Bedard just casually wristed an OT winner in from roughly the blue line. Just fucking ripped it. Goalie in full view I’ve never seen anyone with as good a wrist shot as that kid and it’s not even remotely close to close. Reminds me of how good Gaborik’s was in his prime where he was one of one players in the league that could beat goalies from the outside in full view. similar to ovechkin and how he could do it from his spot on the powerplay with the onetime shot forever Edited December 28, 2023 by Valriera 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
