Ohh Say Can You See …
MSG seemed somewhat depressed and down last night. Its like they knew they had no chance against the Penguins. The whole night i was trying to recall how the “Lets Go Rangers” chant goes but no one would help. They wouldn’t even talk sh*t unless they were confronted first. SAD Sad sad times for New York.
Clever Old Man! Now Sit Down … Shut Up … And Watch Your Team Lose.
Our seats surrounded by Rangers fans … lucky jolly fat guy sitting right next to us was undercover Detroit fan with his Ranger buddy, but he swore to cheer for any team playing Rangers … guess he was on our side. Luckily right in front of us was a sign from Dad. We knew we were going to win now!
Another old man to my right … “Since when does Staal play on the same line as Sid?”
Do you see Bill Guerin on the line up or did you miss the Penguins scratches for tonights game, old man? Don’t you have something better to do like go pick out a coffin for yourself?
2 min 47 seconds into the game … Wilkes-Barre Scranton Penguins’ Chris Conner wearing number 23 took away Rangers will to live. On our feet … “LETS GO PENS!!!” chants … all Ranger fans turn around and stare like there is a naked woman on a pole. Yes I like my team … Yes I cheer when they score … Yes you can suck my … moving on … 1-0
About 3 min later Eric Godard … down … takes him about 5 min to get back to the bench with apparent knee injury. After that …. Yawn … till Dubinsky goes to the box. Penalty killed Pens generate very little on the PP.
First intermission … Pittsburgh Penguins NYC Meetup Group gathers around and blocks halls of MSG. Thats right gotta pay a toll to pass us … THIS IS NY … WE TOLL EVERYTHING! Back to our seats … on the way not a single comment from Rangers fans … sad. I almost wanted to start something but i was with a lady.
During warm-ups … MouthFullOfTang and usbzoso … notice 23 bottom left
Second period … God is not on our side anymore … and has not returned to the bench. Damn it!
I told my jew friend and his AK27 buddy to start praying! However, it does not help!
Who Said Jews Don’t Like Hockey!?
Some minutes later … MAF … shows NY what Statue Of Libery really looks like …
Some more minutes later … Geno to the box …
Rangers can’t generate anything … Geno comes out of the box … Sid feeds him the puck … Geno can’t bury it!
13:04 into second …
2nd almost over … and Tanger almost drops the gloves next to boards … everyone on their feet, cant see whats going on … Jumbotron?
MouthFullOfTang spots a camera guy wearing Rastafari hat … i snap a pic … holy crapsicles … Ray Shero right next to him!
2nd intermission … perfect chance for a beer run … i grab two in authentic Rangers cups … its spewing foam … i am forced to lick it off … wondering how come the Bud Light taste sooo good? Later on after finishing my beer i realize … it wasn’t the beer it was the cup … apparently Rangers beer cups are made in Warren, PA!
According to EmptyNetters … during 2nd intermission … Versus announcer Darren Elliot decides to do an impromtu Elton John impression
I am thinking Thank God he didn’t try Billy Joel impression because he’d have to get boozed up, get into a car, and hit something.
3rd period … Rags fans crying about refs handing out everything to Pens …. ummm how about playing short handed for at least 6 min … SHUT YOUR TRAP!
Penalties are up … Rags still haven’t scored shit … i yell out on top of my lungs … “KILLED IT!!!”
About 4 min later … I told the Jewish guy to pray harder damn it … Russian guy scored his second of the game … i knew this kid had potential when i saw him during pre-season.
Dude in front of me … gets trashed and starts waving like a retard … I am asking him why are you waving? Without going into too much details … he admits he is just retarded … too bad his friend seemed kind of nice.
Few min go by Gaborik goes to the box … I say … if Crosby scores a goal right now i am starting Crosby Sucks chant! Too bad he doesn’t score … Too good MALKIN SCORES!! GENO!!!!!! 2-2. I start doing my Russian dance and chanting LETS GO PENS with Bill Guerin fist pump technique. Some trashed old man behind me tells me to put my hand down. No fockey way! He starts crying so bad i can’t take it … i show him my Sidney Crysby impersonation … i see his eye get filled up with red as he reaches for his beer cup but his daughter restrains him. Aww … i saw more action at my Lafayette High School during lunch breaks. FOOD FIGHT!!!! Sorry dude you failed to amuse me and your daughter wasn’t even hot … its a fail/fail situation.
Less than a min later … Conner again 2-3!!!! I look for the old man … but he knows better … no eye contact. You can see Rangers fans get up and start leaving. Way to have faith in your team!
Dupuis face is looking better then ever … i was hoping they’d help him trim some of his eye brows … didn’t happen.
Empty net … i look for Chris Conner on ice … he is no where to be found … what the hell Dan? Duper finds the puck …
Still about 30 seconds left in the game … but MSG is already empty. Only Pens fans are sticking around.
Time to celebrate …
Somehow some Pens fans find us and its the same guys we took a pic last time we were at MSG for The Pensblog. So we snap another pic. TPB Link
Pic from last game at MSG … undefeated champs!!! TPB Link
After the game … we headed to Foley’s pub to celebrate with other Pens fans. Apparently refs from the game were partying there as well.
Some shots celebrating at Foleys Pub after the game … and i finally got my long awaited beer from Heather … she was not too excited over it!
I was a little constipated … so was Ian … and that lonely Rags fan on the background
Malkin Militia Belt!
All pics from the game … Enjoy!
