hey johnny, my hats off to you for all you have done on here for the year, a big thank you! Happy New YEAR!!! my ranger brother, we don't have to agree on every topic, but we share 1 thing in common, the rangers are in our hearts.....

i'm at a point where i'm on the outside lookin in hopin they just make it to PS, lookin for one of those anything can happen deals

 

[DoobeeDoobeeDoo]

Happy new year guys!

 

[Pastafazul]

twilight zone marathon on syfy channel its all good HNY!!!

 

[DoobeeDoobeeDoo]

Sounds good to me pasta. I plan on staying in myself.

 

[Pastafazul]

if anyone is surprised that girardi turned puck over and lundy gave it up then you need help. when i hear there wasn't a 10 goal scorer on the panthers, only team in NHL without one i knew it was just a matter of time before bois got it done vs rangers , girardi is a pathetic hockey player and lundy is sweatin every moment he is on ice....... couldn't wait for giants seson to end same for rangers and knicks

 

[DoobeeDoobeeDoo]

Pasta, Johnny, Stealth, David...

Happy New Years from the Doobster!

 

[DoobeeDoobeeDoo]

Good game by Hank so far.

 

[DoobeeDoobeeDoo]

Girardi makes up for his mistake by tying it up at 1 with 2:10 remaining.

 

[DoobeeDoobeeDoo]

Brad Richards scores the game winner in the shootout. Hank stops all Panther shots. Good win Ranger fans.

the rangers do this vs a contender its a diffferent story, but to hear michelleti say this was lundy's best game in a long time, well the last game he played his best was vs the sabres, need a i say more.

and, as far as girarid's goal, the guy is on the ice more then any other ranger, the broken clock is right twice in a day!


happy bout win, but beat the good teams this way and there is something to talk about!


happy new years to all, be safe! SALUD!!!!!!!! God Bless!

Florida isn't a good team overall, but they've been playing good hockey as of late. So were the Lightning prior to their loss to the Rangers. They just said on NHL On The Fly that the Rangers have won 4 of their past 5 games, so you gotta be happy with the momentum going into 2014.

You have a safe, happy, & prosperous 2014 Pasta, I will be staying in so unless a drunk driver drives into my living room I should be alright (knocks on wood). God bless.

Oh Hank was on fire tonight! What a comeback win and way to end 2013 on a high note. Won 4/5 of the year and into Pittsburgh on Friday we go!
