I think that this cements my theory further, they never list the top 10 list people on the site. They are supposed to be a surprise when there are guests reading it and not Dave himself.

Many many moons ago, Letterman had Messier and Leetch on...well sorta, they were at the rink and the camera was in the net and after a little Q&A Leetch adn Mess took wristers at the camera.

Was pretty cool...I'd expect something similar

Remember the "TOP 10 PERKS OF WINNING THE STANLEY CUP" on his show in 1994? I have it on tape somewhere. Let me know if u want to see it, I'll look for it and down load it.

I went to a recording once. I thought the same thing until I got the info and tickets. :) I would love to go again, Letterman is pretty funny...(even though I havent watched his show in like 10 years).

They are probably going to do some kind of skit or probably the top 10 list.

Also, Letterman is on at 11:50 PM Eastern tonight because there is a 20-minute Masters recap after local news.

I'm not a fan of this stuff during the playoffs. We need to stay focused but more importantly we need to stay hungry (think Clubber Lang in Rocky III). This = a distraction & there's already plenty of those in Manhattan.

Not good.

Good thing you weren't (I'm assuming) around in the 70s, when the boys would regularly show up at Studio 54 and other hot spots no matter what was happening the next day.

Yeah, if that's what they need to do to blow off steam, who are we to judge. Plus, wouldn't it be funny if the Rangers won the Cup this year and we had our OWN The Bad Guys Won!, lol.

hahah that was grea, it was a comedy skit with Chris Elliot, where he plays for the Rangers like Crystal did for the Yankees. But in the skit Elliot gets asked to take a picture with Sean Averys mother, and instead Elliot makes out with her. Avery then beats his ass before he can step on the ice. Couple cracks about his penis size by Shanny, and about Averys Canadien accent. King and Shooey were in it as well as Gomer.

It pains me to see Ranger fans calling Scotty "Gomer", I still can't believe he's on the Rangers. :help:


Gomez was on some show in 2000 after the Devils won the cup, it was some soap opera. :laugh: I'd like to see him in this skit.

Shanny wasn't bad either, and I think it was really cool to see Sjostrom since he hasn't exactly been around long.

I'm not a fan of this stuff during the playoffs. We need to stay focused but more importantly we need to stay hungry (think Clubber Lang in Rocky III). This = a distraction & there's already plenty of those in Manhattan.

Not good.

You can't lock these guys in a room and tell them to pour over video for the next week until the second round starts - they'll just get burned out.

Stan Mikita wrote a great autobiography many years ago and emphasized the cliche: leave the game at the rink.

At the end of the day, these guys are people just like the rest of us. They've got families, friends, and hobbies that occupy their spare time. There is no reason why they can't appear on Letterman, have a little fun, and take their minds off of things for a while.

Sometimes the time you spend away from the game is more important than the time you spend on the game.

Besides, from a business perspective this is nothing but good for the Rangers and the league. Guys like Avery, Hank, and Shanny are charismatic guys that will draw attention to the sport.
