I also noticed the room was silent. Kid was obviously by himself. The NYR PR guy must've been off getting Gabby his Gatorade. Was that a smirk Erik was sporting? I think it was. . . "I haven't been here that long, but . . ." then he unloads like a fan!

It was epic. Not only was he the only one who didn't find that played an awesome game, he also made some great comments about his other locales of his playing career (read: Atlanta) and their passion for the game (read: none) when asked about how he deals with the boos from the crowd at MSG.<br /><br />I'm trying to find it on MSG's website and NHL Netowrk online but I had a feeling the Bettman police might be a little too reluctant to let that slip.NYR34https://www.blogger.com/profile/13818690251239575429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9169155003164451698.post-57178364253750281012010-01-03T16:25:40.465-05:002010-01-03T16:25:40.465-05:00While I was actually quite glad not to have wasted...While I was actually quite glad not to have wasted the bulk of a Saturday afternoon going into and out of the city for this one, I was then faced with the dilemma of having to watch MSG.<br /><br />Your Micheletti-ism of the day:<br /><br />Mere moments after showing the first Carolina goal during the intermission recap, and noting how the Canes caught Hank in lateral motion in order to score the goal, they then show Dubinsky getting Ward in exactly the same predicament. He of course did not score - he held the puck for just enough fractions of a second that Ward got set and made the stop.<br /><br />A normal color analyst would then say, "See Sam, this is what went wrong on that play and that's why it didn't result in a score... you gotta get that shot off right away or the goalie'll set himself".<br /><br />No, he says "And Dubinsky did such a great job teeing that up and it was oh so close" or something to that effect.<br /><br />Thanks Joe. Really. Oh, and better yet, go to MSG Rangers On Demand and look for him snickering alongside Trautwig and Maloney in-studio on the postgame. Glad you think the offensive woes are a laughing matter.NYR34https://www.blogger.com/profile/13818690251239575429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9169155003164451698.post-9504794136533393142010-01-03T15:24:39.538-05:002010-01-03T15:24:39.538-05:00I went to this game--first one in about ten years....I went to this game--first one in about ten years.<br /><br />What feels more painful is that the crowd has NO investment. We show up, but this team is about as inspiring as a MoMA showpiece--confusing, frantic, and unappealing. Cally was a bright spot, as is Gaborik and Hank. I know Higgins sucks, but it's another thing to see it in person!Leinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06256330608632473957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9169155003164451698.post-41586772136928176952010-01-03T10:46:55.256-05:002010-01-03T10:46:55.256-05:00Send Callahan down to the minors???

Hey look on the bright side....Cablevision just raised my rates and took away like a half dozen channels which will net them a lot more $$$. Maybe Dolan is getting prepared to eat $35 million in salary....yeah, I know, and maybe Redden will make the Olympic Team.

Torts and Sather have to go, Drury, Redden, Kotalik, Boyle, and Brashear have to go. Send Callahan and Artem Arsuckass down to the minors to. Serious changes and challenges face this team now and the playoffs are something that will not be happening for this team in 2010Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
