Are you a f#@king Ranger fan in disguise...all you do is praise the damn Rangers.....

You are probably one of the season ticket holders who give up those games to Ranger fans.....

Ok Blakey.
You misunderstood my question.
I didn't ask whom you had a problem with, I asked WHO we were getting a bad reputation WITH.

I have edited your post, as it contained unecessary personal references.

This thread is days old.

We do not need to continue this debate.

If you would like to contribute to the conversations, there are other threads that are active.

Thanks for your cooperation.

Here's a thought: Carolina was widely regarded as a go-nowhere team this season ... Personally, I had trouble seeing them get out of the bottom of their division, let alone the Conference.

Then low and behold, they are kicking a$$ and taking names--and all this WELL BELOW THE SALARY CAP!!!! Proving once again, that it isn't how much you spend, but whom you spend it on ... but enough about Yashin.

My point is this: do we get threads started every other day about the Canes? the Sabres? the Devils?

Why talk about the Rags sooooo much? Who gives a flying F Bomb? They are a laughing stock team around the league that is suddenly being led to victory by a crybaby superstar, an effective coach, and some unheralded rookies. WHY is that sooo fascinating? I know rivalries are good for business, and I happen to hate the Rags (and the Thrashers, and Maple Leafs, and others ...) but I've never seen a site dedicated to one team waste so much time chatting about another.

The rags are doing well ... for once. Now they are making NY's press and fans (apparently) revolve around their bull. Don't give into it. This season changes nothing. They suck, and this is an ISLANDER'S board. :thumbsup:
Yashin, you ARE the weakest link. Goodbye.

Third man, your point is well taken but if we look at the top of this thread, it was created unwarranted.

I don't see any Carolina thread being created...

I can see where 55Blakey was going and I am sure he speaks as a Hockey fan.
I don't want to see the Rangers win a damn thing but I'll have a hard time creating a thread (especially in an Islander forum) to specifically bash them when they are going to the playoffs this year and we are not.

Now... no one wants to hear a thing about the rangers.. yet, Ranger threads continue to show up. :dontknow:

No, Tonyl. You misunderstood. We didn't say we didn't want to hear ANYTHING about the Rangers. We said we didn't want to hear anything POSITIVE about the Rangers.

As with any Rival team, the chatter will continue, but for the purpose of bashing so as to voice our own disgust. I am not happy having to retire my favorite April Joke.

What's Blue and Red and plays Golf in April?

I would be happy to start a thread about the Maple Leafs, but no one would contribute. At least, we all have something to say about the rivals in our own backyard.

Blakey55 was not coming across as simply a "hockey fan", it was accusitory to say the least.

YAH-- well maybe we need to start adding to the RULES for all the lil posters out there


#1 no post about the rangers....


i would be glad to point anyone wanting to discuss them to some ranger boards where you can talk all you want about the rangers-- and GO SHOW THEM RESPECT there--

i dont care if they are ..WInning loosing...making the playoffs...not making the playoffs...kicking our ass...

its ALL :blah: and a waste of energy to read


If i had my way in the kingdom...people talking GOOD OR BAD about the rags-- would be beheaded!!!


if you insist on talking about them-- i want to make a suggestion to have a new forum called

Hey, 7th. I am sure people would contribute to a Mapleleafs bashing thread too! I would! :lol:

Well, I am not going to go to battle for 55Blakey but I wasn't offended nor did I feel he was being accusitory.

I have seen on plenty of an Islander board where hockey, not just the Islanders, could be discussed in an objective manner good or bad even if it were the Rangers. Because face it, we are all hockey fans, right? Hell, I have even made 1 or two friends over the message boards who are Ranger fans. We talk about Bass fising though :lol:

And don't get me wrong, I am not saying this is how THIS board should be BUT it IS unique in that respect.

Most other teams COULD absolutely be discussed in a subjective manner.
Their fans are not in our workplace or our streets annoying the living daylights out of us.

Their articles do not crowd our newspaper and their color commentators don't made snide comments.

Now... considering that tomorrow night is the final match up between the two NY rivals, I'm certain there will be discussion about it, hence, YET ANOTHER RANGER THREAD.

And luckily. It will be the last for a while.

Why must we make rules regarding anything?

I hate everything about the Rangers but even I respect what they've done this year. Them having a good year will only make my blood boil more and will bring that much more satisfaction when the Devils elminate them.

But to say we cant talk about them is ridiculous. I wouldnt want so see anyone praise them but you cant deny what happened to the Patrick division this year if you read any hockey news beyond our own club.

They're in and we're out, it's the facts, but I will be rooting vehemently for any team that plays them and hope sweeps them. It would bring great satisfaction to me, and a must that it's the first round.
I sold it all, retired and moved to Fabulous Las Vegas!
