Post-Game Talk: Rangers vs Panthers

[Killem Dafoe]

I call the Islanders the Piles, as in hemorrhoids as a play on their "Isles" nickname so I am the last to complain. I was just curious as to the word origin because it has no similarity to our actual name.

No idea, but I hate it with a burning passion. 2k2 is right though, if it bothers us, others will just use it more. I've tried making a push against it as well, but more people think it's just an abbreviation than anything else. I view it in the same light as "Piles" or "Debbies". Neither of which I ever use.

I'll just chalk it up to a pet peeve, but hot damn, I see that word and flip.

Even the boards were surprised by Kreider's dirty cheap shot.

Oh man! That is golden!

I never understood the Kumon Logo. It seems kind of latently mean.

Origin? Doesn't it come from "on the rag"

I'm 100% positive it comes from that fact that people on the internet are lazy and "Rangs" or "Rans" sounds dumb. Pens, Caps, Cats, Habs, Isles, Sens, Avs, Preds, Canes, Bolts, etc, etc, etc...

“@HartnettHockey: #NYR head coach Alain Vigneault says he thinks Martin St. Louis' injury isn't serious. You can all exhale.â€

You seriously just made me exhale. Let's hope this is accurate

Can a fanbase that calls their rivals the Piles/Fishsticks, Debbies, Philthy/Flygirls and ****tsburgh really complain?

 

[Infinitum Vitae*]

God I love Kreider soooooooo much.

Not complaining, just talking about what I heard the origin of rags was

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Kreider is a guy that's huge, strong, and fast and plays a fast physical game. He sometimes ****s up his hits because he's a big strong fast guy. I doubt a guy that is a dirty cheap shot artist would give a **** if he got booted from a game like he did this year after Minnesota and stop playing his game.

I haven't seen any of those used in the mainboards. At least not recently.

I know It was mostly rhetorical.

Ok that's hilarious.

we might as well be rivals with all of them

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

Gudbransson was the one cross checking and whacking Kreider earlier in the game because he cleanly obliterated Mitchell.

While I think that play could've been a tripping penalty, does anyone else think it looked like Kreider decided at the last minute to stop and turn and thus the hit happened awkwardly? I mean, I don't think it was done with any malicious intent.

 

[Cassano]

To me, "Rags" is just an easy abbreviation in the same category as Sens, Pens, Habs...

I guess it all depends on the intention.

Agreed. 'Rangs' is just too awkward, so I've seen Rags used a lot before coming to this site.

 

[Holocene]

That's because there's no one mistakingly shortening the Devils to Debbies. It's a clear insult. There are, however, a large contingent of main board users who use Rags and think they're just using a shorter name and not an insult.

 

[2Leetch_94]

So, to get this straight...does this help or hurt Kreider's chances of the Lady Byng?

The game was boring though

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

Let's steer this back towards the game please.

But, you're right. I am happy we won, and still cannot believe we are topping the league with games in hand on every other team.

The game sucked
