Bantering Around: 8.15.09

PrintSorry this is a little late today, we were up late dealing with a sick little girl again. I think she over indulged at the birthday party we went to yesterday.
Hockey Thoughts: (sort of)
- On the subject of that birthday party, it was an ice skating party at the Florida Panthers practice rink. Naturally I wore my Rangers jersey, blue liberty. I even ran into a few Ranger fans, and naturally took the opportunity to pimp our site.
- And to the car in the parking lot with the Islanders license plate, I hope you like the Blueshirt Banter business card I left on your windshield, you should really take the opportunity to see the light.
- It was my first time on ice skates in years. I rollerblade all the time, so being on ice wasn't too bad, but the rental skates were just terrible. We had a great time, my daughter enjoyed skating around with Dad, and telling people she was "just like a Ranger". Daddy's little girl for sure.
- As far as the latest in Rangers news, I definitely like the Prospal move. Anytime you can pick up veteran scoring help that cheap, it's worth it.
- Also glad to see Messier joining the front office in an official capacity, whatever it may be. Messier and Graves in the front office, seems like old times.
- So, who would you rather be, a Ranger fan with Donald Brashear on your team, or a Philadelphia Eagle fan with Michael Vick on your team? I know a lot of Eagles fans, and an overwhelming majority of them are not happy with the signing.
Un-hockey stuff:
- As I write this, the Florida Marlins are 1 game out of the NL Wild Card race. It would serve the Mets right to see the Marlins make the playoffs and win a third World Series in 12 years, with three completely different teams.
- Giants football on TV tomorrow night, it means things are getting back to normal in the world.
- Anybody else watching "Defying Gravity" on ABC? Not a bad show, for a summer fill in.
- I don't get into a lot of reality shows, other than "Deadliest Catch" and "Ice Road Truckers", but I am digging "Pawn Stars" on the History Channel. It amazes me what people try to sell.
- I don't care how many times he says it: I refuse to believe Howard Stern is going to walk away at the end of his current contract. I just can't see him being able to feed his ego without that show.

Sorry to hear about the "sickness"
Obviously a Panthers ploy! Seriously, hope she’s feeling better very soon, Jim.
Thrilled you got to IncredibleICE (minus that uber-creepy Stanley C. Panther mural in the kids’ area).
Gonna have to get together with you for a visit down there.
Actually Donnie I think it was a Publix, ploy, too much buttercream icing, lol

Does your Blueshirt Banter business card have your number on it? What a phone call that could be!
And until the Rangers confirm the signing of Prospal, you have to wonder where the New York Post retrieved this info. “The Post has learned” isn’t good enough in a “sources dominant” era.

yes it does have my phone number, he can call me if he wishes to debate DP’s contract, the Lighthouse, or great places to eat in Kansas City

I have an awesome pair of rollerblades, K2’s, but lets face it guys, ice skates aren’t exactly useful where I live

well of course there is ice, its how we keep the beer cold.
I’m just saying ice skating isn’t exactly the leisure activity of choice here, not when you can strap the blades on and be skating along the beach in 5 minutes

I’d take Vick over Brash any day, he hasn’t tried to kill any human beings and is a star who will win games for his team. Brashear is only capable of losing them.
I have a blog too! www.scottyhockey.com
Let's Go Rangers!
Yeah all Vick did was beat dogs senseless for his own pleasure. Sorry, can’t agree with you here.
