i fuckin hate the habs with a passion and it was great to yell at those fools
How can you hate the habs?...it's practically where hockey was born.
Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
over specific principles, goals, and policies.
for a small segment of the crowd, the habs fans were very enthusiastic throughout the game. felt like a playoff game with that element in it.

i too thought it was going to be a 2 - on - 0 break, but once Hamerlik was bearing down on Shanny there was only time for a lone breakaway . He said he could " feel " Hamerlik bearing down onb him, so it was a split second decision to go over the goaltenders shoulder. All in a millisecond !

the habs fans were pretty loud on TV, sounded like a great atmosphere. glad the NY fans were sticking it to them.
I sat amongst a section of Rangers fans in Maple Leaf Gardens and they were the rudest, loudest, most obnoxious people I have ever been around. It was great. The Leafs lost and Tie Domi KO'd Ulf "fucking" Samuelson with a great sucker punch. And all of the Rangers fans wanted Luc Robataille to change his number.
1/12/1879, 4/8/1156, 2/6/1977, who gives a shit, ...
there were a lot of habs fans at the game, and boy were they getting it from the NYR fans
There must have been a small army of Habs' fans following them around from Tampa to Sunrise to NYC because they were throughout the stands in both the games against the Florida teams.
Well, now we know the truth behind Petr Prucha's absence from the lineup Sunday night. When head coach Tom Renney implored his troops to be more visceral on the ice, the young lad (just 2¼ years immersed in English) asked countryman Jaromir Jagr what this word meant. Tom took the whispering as a sign of disrespect and benched Kid Kourageous before warmups.
That stuff about Antropov's slash and the wrist-taping display by the dasher was all for public consumption. C'mon. You could lop off Peter Puck's arm at the shoulder and he'd still be game to play.

that outside game today was fucking awesome.
and it turned out to be a very great game ,
even going to shootout.
they briefly eluded to the rumours of an outside game at yankee stadium
unfortunately the time is rapidly passing for something such as this to actually happen.
that would be awesome, the town and fans of buffalo should be commended- that was a spectical and spectacular event to have been at .
oh and the penguins should think about using those jerseys - they looked pretty classic.

New York's Central Park, a 3 1/2 square kilometre patch of green space smack in the midst of Manhattan, is no stranger to huge crowds. A half-million music fans packed the park in 1981 to watch Simon and Garfunkel's reunion concert.
A Dave Matthews Band concert at the park in 2003 drew more than 100,000, while close to a million spectators rubbed shoulders in 1997 to watch country star Garth Brooks.
So how many people would come to the famous landmark to watch an outdoor hockey game?
It's a question that begs consideration.
At a time when the NHL is desperate to spur interest in the U.S., the league after today will have staged two games outdoors – one in Edmonton, and today's in Buffalo, a media market so small that it trails the likes of Harrisburg, Pa., and Oklahoma City.
Imagine the international buzz the NHL would generate staging an outdoor game in New York.
The NHL's U.S. broadcaster NBC seemed to have had this figured out. When it raised the idea of an outdoor game with the league last summer, one idea kicked around was playing a game – the Rangers against the cross-town rival Islanders, perhaps – at Yankee Stadium. But pipes under the field posed some kind of a problem and the prospect was shelved.
Yet even if that obstacle can't be navigated, surely there are other venues in New York that could host an outdoor game. A football stadium like Giants Stadium could easily host an NHL game outdoors.
Central Park, meantime, would provide stunning TV pictures, even if the league had to drastically pare the number of temporary rink-side seats to satisfy the park's operator, the Central Park Conservancy.
"Buffalo's a great place for this to have a trial run, but obviously if you could pull this type deal off in New York, it'd be quite a boost for the NHL and hockey," says Frank Vuono, a New Jersey-based sports marketer and onetime NFL vice-president.
"The only issue is they'd have to work that much harder marketing it because there's that much more competition.
"In New York, you'd certainly get much more buzz," Vuono says, "especially with so many international visitors here at holiday time."
To be sure, so long as the weather holds up, today's outdoor game will be proclaimed a success.
A former NHL official says the Sabres-Penguins matchup would generate $5 million to $10 million in revenue. Seventy thousand tickets sold at an average $75 apiece will generate $5.25 million alone. Then there's income from sponsorships, concessions and merchandising and TV income.
Expenses on the game probably won't eclipse $500,000. The league has spent some $250,000 renting Ralph Wilson Stadium from the Buffalo Bills and costs to install a temporary rink have been estimated at about $150,000.
Moreover, the NHL's U.S. broadcaster, NBC, which hatched the idea of this year's outdoor game, is sure to post improved TV ratings compared to New Year's Day a year ago. (On Jan. 1, 2007, NBC broadcast taped figure skating opposite college football bowl games.)
An outdoor NHL game is a great concept first hatched by Oilers president Pat LaForge, who came up with the idea after working at Molson. (Beer drinkers told the company one of their biggest sports fantasies was playing pond hockey alongside NHL stars.)
But if the league wants to tap further into the global market and bolster the league's coffers and its players' paycheques, it needs to find a way to get the outdoor spectacle into a large market. The likes of Buffalo and Edmonton won't get that done.

Lundqvist's agent and the Rangers are now allowed to negotiated the long-term contract that they passed up last summer to help keep the Rangers under the cap this year. See the Vancouver Province for more on Lundqvist. Meanwhile, Sean Avery is in the same situation. But there are several differences -- Avery will be unrestricted at the end of the season, he has been in and out of the line-up all season and has only two goals, and he is more inclined than Lundqvist to wait until the season ends to test his leverage.
