Saturday Morning Cartoon: Rangers Trade Deadline Bingo

by Dig Deep on Feb 19, 2011 7:00 AM EST in Bantering Around

I was talking to George E. Arys (RangerSmurf to those who aren't aware by now... which I hope is none of you) and he hatched the idea of throwing together a Bingo card with every Ranger that has been rumored or proposed in a trade here at Blueshirt Banter. Needless to say, there were more than enough Rangers to fill a Bingo card. Join me after the jump for your Saturday Morning Cartoon...

Rules of the Game:

1. You do not need to connect five across, you only need to connect three (or more) across to create a possible Ranger trade proposal or rumor. You also may create a trade by using an 'L' shape.

2. You'll notice that Marian Gaborik is a free space. This is because he is involved in 90% of fan trade proposals and Rangers trade rumors.

3. Another way to play the game is to put the Bingo card on a wall, put a blindfold on, grab a handful of darts, spin around on a computer chair (having wheels on it will help) until dizzy, stand up suddenly and start throwing the darts. Hopefully you do not hear any screams, the sound of glass breaking, or the pained yipe or screech of a dog or cat. Remove the blindfold and look to see where the darts have landed. This is rumored to be the way Glen Sather thinks of trades.

4. For those of you who are wondering why we have Washington's 2nd round pick this upcoming draft, we acquired it when we traded Bobby Sanguinetti to Carolina.

He does look more goofy than usual. I expect it may just be too much time in the sun.

Sather should temporarily delete tambellini’s number from his phone until souray is claimed

wat you should try to do

is create some kind of trade generator featuring these rangers and all of the players linked to the rangers…every time you refresh the page and new trade comes up along with the cap calculations

Sounds like a nightmare of a good idea. What we really need is for a little shock collar-like device to zap people when they forget about Gaborik’s NTC and Drury’s NMC.

I'm sure if we give up MDZ, MZA and Girardi

We can steal Conway from him, I’m hoping Sather can get Russ Tyler in the deal, put him on the point on the power play knuckle pucks every time

This is one of the few times I’m happy not to see Cally’s photo. I liked the “free space” masquerading as Gaborik—very clever.

Thank you very much. Cally and Dubi escape being put on the chart because they are rarely, if ever, mentioned in trade rumors and proposals here.
