Start of another win streak tonight

[RichieNextel305]

Lucky for everyone, I will not be at this game. I can’t help but feel responsible for how badly we played at Bell Centre during a good chunk of the Lundqvist era years, considering I went to about 9 or 10 games up there and only saw us win one time. And that was in a shootout. On Paddy’s day. Ever try walking around a drunken Canadian city wearing a Team USA jersey while bragging about the Habs loss that night? I’d recommend it. Always entertaining times in that city.

 

Jump out early. Play smart. Full 60.

12-0 Othmann

Laf Day.  He's going to be flying tonight.

Trivia is Ryan McDonagh

16-23 all time at the Bell Center.  Not the Rangers favorite place to play.   Hopefully this year’s team can exorcise demons of the past.

used to have business in Ottawa that took me there monthly. The guy I was visiting had Seasons tix to the Sens about 10 rows from the ice at the blue line. . Any time the Rangers where up there Id schedule my trip around it. One day we went around noon as they have the kids playing games in the arena and open the bars. By the time the game starts im 3 sheets to the wind and the mascot which is some fucking cat thing comes around as im cheering for the Rangers and takes his hand and musses my hair. I told it to get fucked and dont touch me again. I knew all the guys sitting in the area and on very freindly terms.

 

Well the fucking cat thing comes back and I tell my buddy if it touches me again im going to lay him the fuck out. The surrounding seats all heard my comment and the things comes up to me and everyone is ignoring the game yelling at the cat thing and telling him to get away from me as they all laugh their asses off. As he got close I stood up and luckilt the thing retreated lol (thank god for him and me).

 

Good time was had by all!!

[Br4d]

You are such a lucky skunk!  My friends would have been egging the cat on trying to get a look at me going full vigilante on it.  They used to take me out and get me drunk just for the festivities.

my freinds in the states would have done the same. The Canadian folks either didnt want to see the mascot for their team get beat up or they are just nice lol

[Dem]

On the good side had I gone to Jail I may have met up with Julian with the rum and coke in his hand lol

[Dem]

what the hell is going on???? None of these fucking announcers sounds drunk. This is some bullshit!!!

[Cr00zng]
