Recap: 24/7 Preview Show
- John Tortorella opens the show and calls it an “honor” to represent NY and that the greatest thing about NY is the “pressure.”
- Peter Laviolette says that everything is too important in Philly.
- It doesn’t have the same announcer that 24/7 had last year. Liev Schrieber I think.
- They show the clip of Glen Sather saying that the Rangers are gonna come to Philly and win.
- Paul Holmgren said that he didn’t know Sather had stand up comedy in his blood.
- Hank says that the sport doesn’t matter, it is always tough to come to Philly.
I will try to get the video up, for those that missed it, as soon as I can.
- Brandon Prust calls it a “more serious” version of Pond Hockey.
- Torts says that the Rangers are a straight ahead, no no-nonsense team.
- They obviously show the Flyers beating the Rangers in the last game of the 2009-10 season.
- Ryan Callahan says that it is no longer good to make the playoffs. They need to do something when they are there.
- Claude Giroux says that everyone hates everyone.
- Brandon Prust says that the Flyers are the team he hates the most.
- “Brandon Dubinsky plays like a little weasel” says FORMER RANGER JODY SHELLEY
- Scott Hartnell is the least favorite player on the Flyers for Brandon Dubinsky
- The Rangers have whistles with their logo on them.
- Mike Rupp says that 24/7 shows the work ethic and the family life of all the players and shows that they are just regular people.
- Torts calls the 24/7 cameras a “pain in the ass”
- Girardi jokes that the cameras won’t be difficult for him because of all the paparazzi he deals with.
- There is a clip of Carl Hagelin from the preseason game against the Flyers. I wonder if it was a late addition to the show.
- Hot dogs vs Cheesesteaks?
- Torts says that “we’re coming at ya” We are gonna be ready.
That was pretty enjoyable, more so than I thought it would be.
