We been spending most our lives, living in a Southern Paradise

As I walk through the valley where I harvest my cotton,
I realise Charlie Daniel's message best not be forgotten,
'Cause I've been racin' and crashin' so long,
That even Jeff Gordon thinks that my mind is gone.
But I ain't never crossed an in State rival that didn't deserve it,
My team lose their Bowl Game? You know that's unheard of,
Ya'll better watch how you speakin' n' how you talkin',
Cause if ya'll ain't speakin' with a drawl, I'll send all ya'll walkin',
I really hate to yell but I gotta speak the truth,
We're Southners', we don't have teeth, we got a tooth, fool.
I'm the kinda Bubba little rednecks wanna be like,
On my couch day and nite, with some twinkies and a Bud Lite.

We been spending most our lives, living in a Southern Paradise
We watch football saturday nites, living in a Southern Paradise
We've deep fried turkeys once or twice, living in a Southern Paradise
We sell Gators at discount price, living in a Southern Paradise

Look at the situation they got me facin',
I can't live a normal life, I was raised by the dirt roads.
So I gotta be down with the redneck team,
Too much NASCAR watching got me chasing Sprint Cup dreams.
I be a educated fool with money on my mind,
Gotta F report card in my hand and a blank stare in my eye.
I'm a borboun'd out redneck set trippin' banger,
And my brutha's are down so don't arouse my anger, fool,
Death ain't nothing but a bible verse away.
I'm living life, sinner or saint, what can I say,
I'm 23 now, but will I live to see the 4th grade?
The way things are going I don't know.

Tell me why are we, too dumb to see,
The city in charge, is N-Y-C.

We been spending most our lives, living in a Southern Paradise
We're just plain and simple guys, living in a Southern Paradise
We eat fried food day n' nite, living in a Southern Paradise
Nuthin' but Borboun and Bud Lites, living in a Southern Paradise

Power is the SEC, SEC is the power,
Minute after minute, hour after hour,
Everybody's running, half of them the B1G,
What's going on in the Polls? Half the conference in the top ten.
They say I gotta learn the skills, Gotta pop the cork,
Well I can roast a hog and pull me some deadly pork.
I can shoot a 12 guage n' drive a pickup truck,
I chomp on some chew and shoot a 12 point buck, fool.

We been spending most our lives, living in a Southern Paradise
Bar-Be-Cue, is our life, living in a Southern Paradise
Evolution and Science ain't in our lives, living in a Southern Paradise
We're all crazy, backwards guys, living in a Southern Paradise

Nice GDT!

Lost my 15 year old pit over the weekend. They better win this for him. Be the first time in a loooooong time I can't freak him out by yelling at the tv.

If/when Ruutu gets back, Muller is penciling him in at the 2RW spot. Possible that he could play a game or two on the 4th line to get his legs.

http://blogs.newsobserver.com/canes/where-will-ruutu-fit-thats-the-question

But there would be a Skinner-Jordan Staal-Ruutu line.

"We need to see where (Ruutu) is at," Muller said. "If he comes back and he's playing at the level he's capable of, initially (the second line) is where you have him penciled in.

"Then you go and see the chemistry for all six. There's a few scenarios you look at. But I don't think you do it until you see how he fits in with Jordan and Skinner, and you don't have to disrupt Eric's line, which is going so well. I'd rather just experiment with the second (line)."

That would mean:

Tlusty - E.Staal - Semin
Skinner - J.Staal - Ruutu
Jokinen - Nash - Dwyer
Hall - Brent - Wallace/Bowman
Westgarth

Which likely sends Bowman to Charlotte.

According to the Rangers GDT, Biron starts for the Rags.

Fun Marty Biron facts. The last time we beat him in regulation was November 9, 2005. The last time we beat him at all was November 28, 2008. In the 20 games we've faced Biron he's amassed a 13-4-1-2 record and a 0.915 save percentage. We. are. so. boned.

Eric Staal | 553:57| 11 | 1.19
Chad LaRose | 235:21 | 4 | 1.02
Joe Corvo | 426:34| 7 | 0.99
Drayson Bowman | 302:37| 5 | 0.99
Alex Semin | 556:36| 9 | 0.97
Jordan Staal | 531:02 | 8 | 0.90
Jeff Skinner | 409:11 | 6 | 0.88
Tim Brent | 172:56| 2 | 0.69
Jamie McBain | 375:06| 4 | 0.64

Have we lost in a shootout yet?

If not, let's go with that. It'll be a 0-0 game going into a shootout, simply because both teams realize the way to beat the other is to put them on the PP, and both teams will continuously take penalties

Tough to lose one when you haven't been in one.

WRAL used the phrase "woeful Rangers" in their headline.

5-1 loss.

What's the latest on Ward?

Out 6-8 weeks, effective basically March 3rd.
