Heres for a pre and post game discussion about the Big Game later tonight.

There is no greater rivalry in the sport and possibly all of sports when these two teams get together. And now with both teams improved, it should be even better.

Ive been to just about every Ranger-Islander game at the Coliseum the past 5 or 6 years, and I will be there again tomorrow, and it should be electric.

Hopefully Nedved will be back to play. And Ciger will be back from his 1 game Suspension.

Bring it on!

I know that the Islanders and their fans have been looking forward to this meeting even more this year, because they want to prove that they are legit and better than the Rangers. It will be a great game, and always is. I look for a wide open type of game with heavy hitting, probablya skirmish or two.

In the end, I believe that the Rangers will prove to the Isles that the start of this season is an aberation, and that they will NEVER be better than the Rangers when its all said and done.

I have to fucking work during the game, but I will listen to 1050 and drive past the Coliseum while I work (I work in a patrol car) just to get some of the atmosphere. Have fun Banger, but I hope you go home pissed off. Let's go Islanders! Osgood throws another shutout and the Isles win 2-0.

I shucked it, and I shucked it, and I shucked it, i'm quite the mother shucker!

ok, can someone explain this to me? he's been in the hall of fame for a long time now, he hasn't played a game since 1987, and yet you morons continue to use this chant as if it were something new! at least the isles fans were smart enough to drop the good ol' "1940" after the shitheads won the cup in 94, but obviously rangers fans aren't that intelligent.
i personally enjoy when the whistling starts up, because right before the assholes yell "potvin sucks" i always chip in w/ a "richter sucks!" it's sure to turn a few heads, try it sometime.

These games are always great. Remember the playoffs backin either 90-91 or 91-92, when Arbour put all his goons on the ice with 5 seconds to go in the series. I remember that fuck Baumgartner beating the crap out of Jeff Bloomberg. Ever since that day I have truley hated the Isles.

{b] GO RANGERS!!!

That was in 1990. And yeah that was a goon thing to do, but then we went out and took out LaFontaine for the series and won the series in 5.

darthziggy,
you know perfectly well logic has nothing to do with it; :)
after all, it probably wasn't even Potvin that caused the Ulf Nilsson's injury.

FB,
While this is a GREAT rivalry, I don't know if I'd characterize it as one of the best, since Hockey fans are a minority in the NY area, even if we are rabid.

I can't wait. A competitive Isles vs Rangers juices up the hockey season like no other.
Best series - No doubt, 1979 semifinals

Milbury has already thrown out the first shot, with his quote about Ranger fans to NY Times.

Gotta love Milbury's quote:

"It's always good to have the building filled, even if it's with low-IQ Rangers fans," Milbury told the New York Daily News about hosting the first of six meetings between the teams this season. "This game, and every time we play them, will be important and will mean something for both teams.

This coming from a guy who traded Bryan Berard for Felix Potvin, Drafted Roberto Luongo and praised him as a Hall of Fame Goalie of the Future only to trade him as he drafts a different Hall of Fame Goalie of the Future, Traded Zigmund Palffy for essentialy nothing, etc. etc.

I can't believe I'm gonna say this.....But I agree with Cluster. Even the both teams are much more improved over last year, I think the ranger will come out on top. I expect alot of big hits and tough play. These games are always the best. I doesn't matter what there records are, these teams alway get up for each other....
quote:

Potvin sucks!!! ok, can someone explain this to me?

If I'm not mistaken, I could be wrong, but I think potvin was playing against the rangers and checked a player. It was a cheap, low blow check that knocked the guy out of the game and ended his career. Thats we hate him. I also enjoy the "BEAT YOUR WIFE POTVIN, BEAT YOUR WIFE". That one always gets me....

This is also the guy that traded for Yashin, Peca, & Osgood.

We will see what happens tonight

X-filed,
see my post above (including link)

Potvin gave hard (dirty?) check on Ranger Ulf Nilsson and broke his ankle; he was never the same.

quote:

Pecca was a good move, Osgood a no-brainer (Isles were "lucky" enough to have worst record and pick first); Yashin I'm not sold on - I don't think he is worth the biggest contract (at the time) in hockey, but we'll see at the end of the year.

This will be one hell of a match! I love NY battles. I like both teams, I'm not even going to bother to mention a Go Pens in the sports forum this year, if the Rangers win, we will here alot from FB, if the Isles win, Darth Ziggy will be logged in all night...

x-filed, i know where it comes from, what i don't understand is why the idiots won't let it go now that it makes no sense.
my personal fav series (yeah, i know i was 2 at the time, but i've seen highlights and replays) was the 1984 series, 4-1 isles win, morrow in ot in game 5.
fb, mad mike has made some stupid moves, but he also never had as much money as the rangers organization, and not for nothing but if you compared the payrolls w/ the successes, the isles and rangers are probably real close the past few years.
rage, lol good thinking

I new the rangers would win, But I didn't think it would be a blowout. The rangers looked real sharp. Defense, Goaltending and penalty killing. I loved seeing the stunned faces on the fans. God I love beating the islanders.

The curse is back......
