New York Rangers 2008/2009

OK so the season starts tomorrow, and I haven't been this pessimistic since the first year after the lockout...when I agreed with Sports Illustrated and had us ranked 30th out of 30. We did make the playoffs that year, only to get embarassed Ohio State-style by the Devils, so hopefully I'll be that wrong again.

Losing Jaromir Jagr is quite likely a necessary evil. It was nice having a talent like him that the other team had to center their game plan (and their best defensive forwards) around, but his lazy habits were a lot harder to take when he scored 71 points. Two years ago when he scored 123 points you lived with his deficiencies.

Losing Martin Straka will hurt too, he did all the little things that don't show up in the scorebook except for the 'W' column.

But losing Sean Avery...me oh my is this gonna hurt. You cannot put a price tag on taking the other team off their game. And his speed, great hands, and occasional lazer-like wrist shot will be missed as well.

How painful is it to have your team go to the league quarterfinals, the final eight, then come back five months later looking like an also-ran. Of course we're one of the many teams who, with some breaks, some luck on the injury front, some newcomers stepping right in and contributing, and some newly -acquired veterans rebounding with a change of scenery, can qualify for the playoffs, but goodness that's not where we were in May.

And the Edmonton Genius chomps away on his cigar and laughs at all the stupid Ranger fans who pay his salary. Doesn't even have the decency to grant an interview.

I love to laugh at the Islanders, traveling comedy show that they are, but at least their fans know their team stinks and expect their team to stink for many years to come, so they're not disappointed.

Everyone laughs at their front office but lays off Sather, the guy who has won NOTHING for 25 years.

OK we're only two games in, but the season did not start out like the disaster I feared. Hank played well in Prague, there was lots of hustle from everyone...including the players I was most worried about, and they severely out-played Tampa in five of the six periods.

No doubt the Bolts may not be the best barometer at the moment, but hey, four points is four points, and hopefully something to build on.

Very much looking forward to the atmosphere at the Garden tonight. I still think we're going to miss Avery not only for the (mostly) good things he did on the ice, but for the mojo he created in the crowd as well. Despite the loss of Avery, however, win or lose this seems like the kind of team the fans will greatly feed off.

Despite some negative connotations of New York fans (mostly espoused by people who know nothing about the City), all we really ask of our athletes is for hard work and an honest effort. Give it your best and we'll do our best to support you. This isn't Philly we're the fans always have a love/hate relationship with their teams.

We'll take John Starks going 1 for 18 in game seven of the finals, because John Starks epitomized hard work. We'll take the Yankees not making the playoffs this year, since they've given their all and made the playoffs the last dozen years. We don't care about payroll...that's for the rest of the country to obsess about. People are having a hard time dealing with the Mets recent collapses, because there is a feeling they didn't do their all to win (Are you listening, Tom Glavine?).

After game four of the Devil series three years ago, when we were totally destroyed and humiliated in four games, Ranger fans gave the team a long and loud standing ovation after the handshake on Garden ice. The feeling was that the team gave us a great season after seven years out of the playoffs, and we didn't hold the sweep against them. Henrik was hurt, Jagr hurt himself trying to punch a Devil in game one, and the rest of the players did what they could.

I have a feeling the crowd is really going to take to this team, and quickly. Wins will help in that regard, but win or lose this seems like a team that will work hard for 60 minutes, is young with a lot of speed, and will create a lot of excitement. Of course if some of the players I've mentioned in past threads play uninspired hockey the crowd will turn on them in a hurry, so let's hope that doesn't happen.

There is nothing like Madison Square Garden when the Rangers are playing well and playing hard...

Go Rangers!!! As a transplanted New Yorker living in South Florida I follow them very closely.
I brought in Direc tv just for the Rangers!!!

Not happy about the loss of Avery and Shanahan though.
Sean is exactly the kind of guy to put a spark in our team. Plus annoy the hell out of the other
guys.

Not liking the non moves by Sather? Shanahan is twisting in the wind...Whats up with that??
Not a classey move by Sather.

Sandra, What a great post!! You are right on the money!!!!

Dont forget Patrick Ewing. That guy was a true warrior. Too bad they ''really'' did n't surround him with a Pippen type player. Ewing deserved a ring for all his efforts.

The Knicks have been an embarrasment ever since hes been gone. Rather post Van Gundy.
Yes, there is hope with the new coach D antoni..But im not sure he has the best players to run his style of basketball.

Rangers don't exactly have an easy draw in their home opener- they face a Blackhawks team that is a sexy pick to be a playoff threat.

Kane, Toews, Campbell, Seabrook, Keith- Sandy, good luck stopping those weapons!

Well, here we are, five games into the season...and I'm not ready to proclaim the Rangers as President's Trophy winners yet...or even a Stanley Cup team.

We all know the NHL landscape is filled with teams that started out on fire and didn't even make the playoffs. There is also a history of teams starting well and winning the Stanley Cup, so obviously anything is possible.

What must be stated, however, is that after five games I can say so far the score is Glen Sather 1, Sandra 0. Or Sather 5, Sandra 0, depending on how you want to look at it...or maybe 6 or 7.

The players I was worried most about, Redden, Kalinin, and Zherdev, have varied from solid to terrific the first five games. I wanted to keep Avery, and not pick up Voros. And I thought we would seriously miss Fedor Tyutin...amongst other things.

Say what you want, the five-game sampling is very small, and the Rangers obviously haven't won anything yet. But after missing the playoffs seven years in a row, I also know these ten points we picked up in the first five games will come in handy in April, whether we're battling for first overall in the conference or league, or a playoff spot.

I reserve the right to change my mind, of course (being a girls and all

), but so far I owe an apology to the Edmonton Gen...or, I mean, our esteemed GM.

Oh, and did I mention Aaron Voros is really cute? He looks like he could be Mike Modano's younger (and much bigger) brother. And both of those are a good thing!!!

It's a known issue.
For a temporary fix, go into the menu, Audio, and turn Dolby Audio "OFF". You will have PCM stereo audio.

I was able to give the tech ops team some data logs so they could diagnose the problem, and they rolled me back to H708 temporarily. It fixed that issue.

They let me know that they understand what caused the issue, and it will be fixed within a few weeks in a new update.

I guess they will be busy when lots of people start asking for rollbacks to H708 now that you mention that downgrades of software does exist because it will likely fix the OTA Single Tuner and the IR Remote problems in H710-H713.

So after some heavy research, it looks like the issue I mentioned with the DISH 50.0/52.0/54.0 remotes where on the 50.0/52.0 remotes, the dedicated TV Power button or on the 54.x remotes where it is using the TV button on the side followed by Power works correctly on a Hopper 3 which runs Linux but not on a Hopper 3 with Hopper Plus, Joey 4 and Wireless Joey 4 which are Android TV (ATV) has to do with the Android TV software itself. In all instances, the remotes had always sent out a dual RF and Infrared signal when the TV Power signal is sent from the remote. The Hopper 3 without the Plus would ignore the incoming RF power packet signal which is identified as a TV-specific toggle event, and does not trigger a system-wide standby state. The Hopper 3 with Hopper Plus, Joey 4 and Wireless Joey 4 as Android TV devices initially worked the same way as well up to sometime in 2025 as there was the legacy pass-through mode in the original software versions used since the Hopper Plus/Joey 4/Wireless Joey 4 launch, the receiver's underlying software essentially ignored the secondary RF payload that the 50.0/52.0/54.x remotes blasted out whenever the TV Power signal was sent. The Hopper 3 with Hopper Plus, Joey 4 and Wireless Joey 4 recognized it was a TV-specific command and discarded the RF packet, letting the standalone IR signal do its job on the tv.

When the software for the Hopper Plus, Joey 4 and Wireless Joey 4 were updated in 2025 and newer versions of the software for those Android TV (ATV) devices, it overhauled how the receiver handles remote commands to tighter integrate the Android TV environment which resulted in the software starting to treat any RF power toggle payload as a global command. As the newer software verion(s) no longer filters out the concurrent RF blast from the 50.0/52.0/54.0 remotes, the moment one sends a TV Power signal from the remote, the Hopper 3 with Hopper Plus, Joey 4 and Wireless Joey 4 catches that unintended RF payloadand interpets it as a command to drop the system into standby.

The fix is really simple since the Android TV (ATV) software for the Hopper Plus, Joey 4 and Wireless Joey 4 just needs to be programmed to drop or ignore the specific RF power packets associated with the TV Power signal sequence.

Does that raise, or lower, the overall price? Our State Government has been doing everything it can to minimize the impact of the current situation and put a freeze on the State Taxes on fuel sales at the pump. That's why we're still under $4.00/gal. while across the border in Michigan it's much higher.

What's for dinner ?

Ok, I'm bored .... actually - to be more precise - I'm bored of eating the same rotation of 9 or 10 meals that are currently my "go-to" meals. My wife works the long hours - I work from home as and when i feel like it ... which means i generally do most of the cooking ... and so by default - i also make out the shopping list ...

We cook at home 5 or even 6 nights a week - but we always seem to fall back on the same old tried and tested "quick and easy but tastes ok" meals. Week in week out.

Pot Roast - mash and Peas.
Spaghetti
Chicken Pasta in cheese sauce.
Curry & rice
(these are some of mine)

Now it's not that I'm not adventurous in the kitchen ... I'll try anything once or twice ... but we all do it. Unless your name is Martha Stewart or Rachel Ray .. we all eventually fall back on our 8-10 favorite "meals"

So i thought - if we shared some of our own go-to meals with each other ... we might be able to add a few "new" ones to our own arsenal of meals.

So again - I ask you ...

What's for dinner tonight ?

Please give me something new to add to my rotation ... its our weekly shop tomorrow - so i want to pull together a few idea's and try and eat a meal each day next week that I've never had before .. or at least something that is not on my current "go-to" meal plan.

What meal do you always seem to fall back on in your house ? Maybe its something that I've never tried or not had in a while. I need inspiration !! I've got a blank shopping list in front of me - and nothing sounds good .. HELP !

As for the salmon, I seared them first, then flipped them off to the side not over the coals and brushed on some lemon pepper marinade followed by some salmon seasoning. Threw some hickory chips on the coals and then closed the vents to about 10% airflow. Yum.

Jerry Jones and Jimmy Johnson had an argument about who was responsible for the dynasty building of the early 90's Cowboys.

The rest of us figured it out in about 3 years, Jerry has had over 30 years but still can't admit it. It's all he lives for, to show everyone he can put together a winner. I don't think he can. His kids only know what he taught them.

Song Name Game Part 3!

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!

So let the game continue!

The last song was added by Bobby who posted...

One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters

CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!

Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game

Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.

Example:

Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow

Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio

Another example:

Ride the Lightning -- Metallica

Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne

Get it?

An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....
