Pre-Game Talk: MDSF: (2) New York Rangers vs. (3) Philadelphia Flyers

[Hire Sather]

Same guy that said after the AVs loss we wouldn't make the playoffs.

I was very calm about the Avs loss. It was the Ottawa loss.

 

[Blue Blooded]

SBNation's playoff predictions.

7/8 have the Rangers coming out of the Metro.

4/8 have the Rangers coming out of the East.

1/8 have the Rangers winning the cup (Eric Tulsky, Flyers blogger and one of the most respected names in hockey analytics).

Terrible, yet made me laugh.

-31- with the morbidly funny post of the day.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

sick and tired

You freak out over every little thing. You've said "that's the season" all ****ing season. It's not even funny anymore.

Edit: And that's coming from someone that freaks out a lot, you take it to a whole new level.

In other news, is Vegas accepting prop bets for Staal getting hit in the head with a battery in game 3?

Odds must be put 10 dollars in to become a millionaire.

Does anyone even throw batteries anymore? Sounds like it's something from the 70s.

Theres nothing worse than a major injury right before/during the playoffs. Makes the entire season feel like a waste of time.

We can't afford one injury. One injury hurts the entire team, as much as anyone wants to spin it, its true.

I actually laughed when I saw that someone thought it was a possibility. Then I realized that he was being serious...

and laughed some more...

thats the season

LOL get a grip dude. The season is not over because Derrick ****ing Brassard left practice.

Yes. 2-1.

The Armageddon shtick is getting really tiring.

Except a lot of players get injured from a lot of teams. This is not something particular to the Rangers. We just went 5 games allowing 8 goals without one of the best defensemen in the world. There's more than 2 days left I haven't seen anyone say Brassard will be out and you start panicking already.

Are you in the locker room? Did you read somewhere that it was major? This isn't the 19th century. There is much better meds and remedies to get a player through a playoffs with a sore lower back. He could rest the next two days and feel strong enough on thursday. Drama queen.

Nobody carries double a's anymore and these cell phone batteries are tough to throw since you have to fling it like a ninja star

The season has been over every time something didn't go perfect with the Rangers.

John Rocker used to get batteries thrown at him if I recall correctly. But I don't think anyone has a problem with that lol.

To each his own. I find the non-parody version tiring.

 

[Infinitum Vitae*]

Ahh I see people are panicking over brass leaving with back problem...he'll be fine and if not we're doomed cuz we don't have guys like Marty St.Louis and Rick Nash and no great defensive players like Ryan Mcdonagh and a goalie like Henrik Lundqvist... oh wait

I operate under worst case.

 

[Son of Steinbrenner]

Lower back injuries are the ****ing worst. Honestly, the only thing that can really heal them is time.

If the Rangers have him take an Mri and its clean they could give him a cortisone shot today. It would be pain free by thursday night. Not that a players doesn't risk further injury but he won't feel pain in the area. I have a terrible back and one thing I know about is cortisone shots!

Haha.

Better hope they win game one or it will only get worse.

Its from rooting for the Jets! I have the same initial reaction as you do sometimes. It usually subsides after a few minutes.I swear being a Jet fan can change someone's outlook on life!

Cortisone won't heal it though. Isn't there a limit on how often you can take those as well? Or am I thinking of something else?
