Come on now! You people are slacking. We got the Bills coming to town. Ryan Fitzpatrick is going down! PS: The Sabres are 6-2-2 in their last ten. Eek.

If we lose to them tonight, that definitely means they're gonna sweep us in the playoffs, right?

I thought we don't make the playoffs every time we lose?

Same lines as the other night. Lundqvist in net. (Andrew Gross Twitter)

beat UC Santa Cruz!

Ryan Miller has the flu

Paul Smachetti has pneumonia.

Ten bucks says NYR makes the backup look like Grant Fuhr circa '85.

Go Rangers beat the Buffalo Bills, put that lotion biscuit in the basket.

does anyone know if its on HD on Time Warner? For some reason the Devils game is on MSG+ and the Rangers on some sports overflow channel

Go Rangers and stuff, but I feel obligated to post this:

And screw all of you, every last one.

I do not believe that there is an HD channel on Time Warner.

Ugh Rick Jeanneret.

Thurman Thomas in goal tonight.

A Banana Slugs reference?

So he'll have a 3.87 GAA and a .884 SV%

Yeah I know different era, but still.

That was good back then! Also, goalies had to walk up a hill to make a save back in our day. Both ways.

I know, right? That was back when 3rd liners were scoring, like, 40 goals. If only Boyle could make a time machine...

Off-topic: I'm not sure if anyone did the Madden cover voting on ESPN, but they have Stevie Johnson as one of the choices and I sort of laughed at the thought of him doing the "shoot myself in the leg" dance on the cover.

On-topic: I'd say this game defines how well this homestand goes for them. That seems really arbitrary, but 5-2 looks like a nice record to close out this stretch of games. Also, the Penguins wrecked the Radulov-infused Predators last night, and it seems wholly possible that they aren't going to lose again this season (so for our playoff berth to be valid, we need to not lose again as well, as per the new rules in the NHL applying to just the Rangers).

If Dubinsky played back then he'd still have 8 goals because they didn't use a soccer net at the time.

I heard Bruce Smith has a nasty shot on the point.

if you mean snot rockets that will stop a skate, then, yeah.

Is the reason Checky never posts here anymore because she's embarrassed at how far her fave Dubi has fallen?

(Sorry Checky)

Back from vacation just in time for this one. LGR!

Mr. Obvious.




My 1000th! All I have to say is... tits.

Yeah, what happened to checky?

She was dropped as a moderator and hasn't posted since as far as I've noticed.

This is Macdonald Carey, and these are the days of our lives.

Game thread....

I used to lurk around here back when she was writing the front page game previews. That's.... back in the fucking day.

Ha! Let me moderate for a few minutes. 1st rule: anyone who gets their 1000 post when we play the Sabres? Gone.

I've got more but let that one simmer.

Fuck I'm so pumped for this game; been a looooooooooong week before spring break and it's Friday, so the upstairs neighbors don't care if I'm loud.

Goals: we need to score like 10 tonight.

2nd rule: you suck a giant ape dick.

More of a statement of survival than a rule really.

You get stranded in the woods for an hour!

I cannot fucking believe you guys got me with the flu bit. I really thought Miller was out. Dammit!

so let me get this straight....game at the Garden, major first place implications given Pittsburgh's run...Ranger fanbase hugely outnumbers that of the Devils...

...and the Devils game is on MSG+HD

can anyone explain this?

I could be out for next Thursday's game v. MC2

How did I miss 6 minutes of game already? It's 7:15.

Wow, McDonagh is flying tonight.

Fanning on shots is good strategy against the Rangers. Three of them slide by you.

Holy shit.

sweet merciful crap

What. A. Save.

Also, 2-on-1 against courtesy of Bickel.

Erixon looks good at both ends. Now get Stralman back in for godamn Bickel.

You can't spell STUPID MISTAKE without S-T-U.

He was caught after a "good" pinch, safe is death or something

Zucc has a fractured wrist according to Gross, FUCKBUCKETS!

WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

fuck.

The wheels on the bus come rolling off...

It figures.

Kreider HASTA work, now. HAS. TO.
