Slight progress for Gomez (Updated)
-
- November
- 19
There now appears to be at least a light at the end of the tunnel when it comes to Scott Gomez’s troublesome ankle.
Although the Rangers center didn’t skate again today and will not play for the fourth straight game, Tom Renney said Gomez did show marked signs of improvement thanks to—no lie—an acupuncture treatment yesterday.
“Today was as good as he’s felt all along,” Renney said of Gomez.
That still puts Saturday in Ottawa as highly doubtful, but Gomez is expected to skate again on his own tomorrow.
Update, 6:21 p.m.: Larry Brooks reports that Gomez “had a stress fracture in his ankle, then pulled his groin trying to play through it.”:http://www.nypost.com/seven/11192008/sports/rangers/rangers_gomez_has_stress_fracture_139573.htm The prognosis remains the same, with the center doubtful for Saturday and more likely for Monday.
———
Meanwhile, amidst all the talk of Markus Naslund facing his old team and Roberto Luongo facing Henrik Lundqvist, let’s not forget that Renney will be facing his old team as well for just the third time in his career.
Renney’s season-plus stint with the Canucks was hardly a triumphant one. He went a combined 39-52-9 and was canned at the beginning of the 1997-98 season—thank you, Mark Messier?—but he did say he benefited from the experience regardless.
“I was given the chance to coach in the NHL there. And I very much appreciate that. I grew up from the experience to say the least,” Renney said. “So whether they want it that way or not, the Vancouver Canucks have some ownership in whatever I am. But I’ll appreciate beating them. I’ll be good with that.”

On the shameless plug front, don’t forget “live video chat tomorrow at 1:15”:http://www.lohud.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/99999999/MOGULUS0103/399990019. I demand a good turnout since the Rangers are supposed to be off tomorrow and I normally would sneak in a lunchtime skate at WSA.
I’m told there will be some special guests from Sweden live in studio, which should only add to the experience. And no, I’m not talking about Henrik Lundqvist and Markus Naslund.
But if you can’t wait until then—and something tells me you can—I’ll be on with Kenny Albert after the second period tonight. That’s Kenny Albert: Capital “K”, capital “A” (if you must know, he said he wanted me to mention him in the blog, so there you have it).

SAM lb is reporting an ankle fracture now a pulled groin for gomez because he played with it.
Why is it 7.35 pm ???
I would really like to have the chat at 1.25…ten minutes more for lunching !!!
Good job by Brooks breaking ths story(pun intended) Another story Sam doesn’t break. Pathetic job by you Sam.
Aww c’mon, it’s cool that Sam posted it. I thank him for posting ALL news as that’s journalism at it’s finest.
Getting beat to story after story is not great journalism imo.
A little bit of pro-Sam blogging now….
A day or so late but I just read the Travis Roy-Chris Drury article…great job Sam
Get ready for a snooze fest tonight boys.Tom Thumb will have his little fingers playing for yet another shootout tonight.The King will be worn out by the 40th game of the season.I’d like to give Renney the finger not only for his inability to have his team dictate the style and flow of the game, but also for having a double standard when it comes to making an example(Z,Voros,Dubi) of some of his players and not others(ROZY,MALIK,ETC..).His genius is truly a marvel to behold.
LET’S GO RANGERS! By the way Kaspar, just wanted make you happy – watching the game in the house. Too cold here for the pool (in the 50’s) but that’s cold for down here!
it will be a shooutout probably only because luongo and hank will put on a show
Gardenfaithful
If it makes you feel better….its too cold for a shower in Vermont!
and the come from behind win begins now
great start by the “checking line” and our two best dmen!
Yokozuna Wellwood makes it 1-0. Nice turnover by Redden nearly 2-0.
they need to learn how to start a game.
The Dubinsky line really looking like dreck.
That’s because Arron Voros is playing like the minor leaguer that he is.
Flat. Indifferent. Again.
jesus christ redden shakes head
KILL ME NOW!!
wow.. is the pp a – on the season?
let’s see if the dickhead coach now benches Redden.I bet he won’t,he has no balls!!!!!!!!!!
we now have to score 3 against luango…game over
A taut, well-oiled machine! Led by men of wisdom and inspiration!
yeah.. Renney will bench Redden… then he’ll take reddens stick and will play D for the rest of the game and his suit…
listen to JoeM shill for Redden and Renney,what an embarrasment!
Wish I may
Wish I might
Have this I wish tonight
Are you satisfied?
Dig for gold
Dig for fame
You dig to make your name
Are you pacified?
All the wants you waste
All the things you’ve chased
Then it all crashes down
And you break your crown
And you point your finger
But there’s no one around
Just want one thing
Just to play the king
But the castle’s crumbled
And you’re left with just a name
Where’s your crown, King Nothing?
Where’s your crown?
Hot and cold
Bought and Sold
A heart as hard as gold
Yeah! Are you satisfied?
Wish I might
Wish I may
You wish your life away
Are you pacified?
All the wants you waste
All the things you chased
Then it all crashes down
And you break your crown
And you point your finger
But there’s no one around
Just want one thing
Just to play the king
But the castle’s crumbled
And you’re left with just a name
Where’s your crown, King Nothing?
Where’s your crown?
Huh!
(Spoken)
I wish I may
I wish I might
Have this wish I wish tonight
I want that star
I want it now
I want it all and I don’t care how
Careful what you wish
Careful what you say
Careful what you wish
You may regret it
Careful what you wish
You just might get it
Then it all crashes down
And you break your crown
And you point your finger
But there’s no one around
Just want one thing
Just to play the king
But the castle’s crumbled
And you’re left with just a name
Where’s your crown, King Nothing?
Nothing
No you’re just nothing
Where’s your crown, King Nothing?
No you’re just nothing
Nothing
Off to never never land
That’s right Joe M, that goal was Dubi’s fault! asshole!
Whichever scouts gave the Rangers a postive report on Redden should be taken out back and shot.
the nucks are controling the puck like globetrotters
They showed an interesting statistic on TSN: the Rangers are 8-2-2 when the opponent scores first. Why do I feel like that’s going to be 8-3-2 after this game?
this team is not prepared to play.they are horrendous, something needs to be done. sather mus be watching something else besides these games, how pathetic. i cant remember when they scored first.
“Whichever scouts gave the Rangers a postive report on Redden should be taken out back and shot.”
sounds good to me
boblo… by the time one get through your post the entire game will be over lol
Where is BOB? Trade Joe M!
Can we start to decline penalties?
we need to get rid of Redden and Rozsival and change the coaching staff.
Boblo = bob?
Michal “Minus 8” Roszival, adding value.
Pearn needs to be fired into the sun.
The defensemen all need a swift kick to the toolbag.
Dubinsky needs to have his allowance taken away or something.
This is dreadful.
BOB? Lo?
just no jump or enthusiasm in Redden’s game…
Fire this incompetant coaching staff. Trade Gomez, Redden, Rozsival for Kesler and Bieska.
Girardi is starting to play like Redden,not good.
What game are these two idiots Sam and Joe watching???
In all seriousness,this team needs alot more Ryan Callahans before they can compete with the elite teams in the league.
Kaspar-
they are watching the national shill for the rangers hockey league.
Mara , Cally and Drury were really the only Rangers that showed any life.
“The Canucks are doing a good job getting to the net tonight”
Two breakaway goals
“The Canucks are putting pressure on Rangers with forecheck”
Two Breakaway goals right?
“The Canucks are skating well”
i think Sam and Joe are watching Rodeo on MSG+
I can’t understand why they don’t just demote Rissmiller so they can bring up a defenseman that threatens a game for somebody like Redden or Rozsival. Rozsival at -8 clearly needs to be taught a lesson.
Yeah, because the Canucks can really afford the $13 million more under their cap.
God forbid these announcers actually question the Rangers play or coaching like….
“Where’s the passion boys?”
“When is this coaching staff going to address this PP? It may not be ranked 30th but I bet they gave up the most SH goals”
“Why do young guys get benched but Rozy and Redden never do…”
You know, the hardest thing they touched on all night was trying to figure out which creepy twin was which( thats what my man Orr called them earlier in the year…The Creepy Twins”
The defense on this team is never held accountable for ANYTHING. Not by the announcers, not by the coaching staff. It is maddening.
What a pathetic period, typical Rangers 1st period.
I have zero confidence that this team can come back. Im sorry to say, and i hope im wrong, but this game already feels like its over.
I feel bad for Wade, he made a dumb play, but Dubi made a dumb pass, that was way to risky. Also i don’t know why the fugg Dubi didn’t try and bank the god damn puck in the fuggin net, that was dumb on his part.
Of course, Rozi, and Kal sleeping caused the 1st goal, i think all of us seen this coming.
This is what happens when you don’t play in the 1st period, we’ve been lucky with Hank bailing us out, but he cant stop everything. This team is letting Hank get raped left and right. Fuggin 3 breakaways, gimme a god damn break, unbelievable.
Lets see of Renney, the great coach can get his players asses in gear.
Nicky Z looked great, he took the PP in his own hands, telling players what to do, where to go, such a shame it had to be ruined by dumb plays, but i like what i see from him.
ok zherdev was best player on ice, 2nd goal not reddens fault, or at least as much as dubinsky’s fault for that pointless omfg ima pee in my pants pass back… and dubisnky missed that ridiculous open net….
ORR !! What Is It Good FOR ??

Kasper – Been there! Used to have to keep the faucet and shower dripping so it wouldn’t freeze.
What’s the over/under on Roszival being -15 by the Allstar break?
HAHAHAHAHA..Those twins are creepy man. Like something out of children of the corn.
Joe M is just a waste of airtime. We can’t get someone better?
AUDIO
That’s how they are. Sam, and Joe Mich wont talk bad aboot anyone. At least Maloney rips them every now and then, so ive heard.
down by 2. lets double shift the 4th line.
hopefully we see a differnt team here. LETS GO RANGERS!!!
Look at renney that motherfucker laying into Dubinsky. What a jackoff. He would never do that to some other players no matter how SHITTY they play.
Hey Tom, maybe you wouldn’t have to yell at Dubinsky for a mistake on the PP if you put a little more pressure on your vets to make things happen on the PP.
FWIW, I was impressed with that PP until the breakaway… everyone was moving.
How could anyone question Dubi’s decision to pass the puck back to Redden.He had his back to the boards,was being pressured by a Canuck,so he flipped a backhand pass to his powerplay point man.A player who is being paid 39 million dollars to play the point on the PP.If he can’t handle that pass,he should not be on the pp.
I thought this game was supposed to be on Versus, I was really looking forward to not hearing the most annoying and incompetent duo in the NHL (Sam and Joe). But they shove these 2 fools down our throats anyway.
And enough of this trust in Renny’s system….there are some that try to compare Hank and Rangers to Marty and Devs..this to excuse the lo scoring games..
Do you know there were times where Brodeur went 5 games without an odd-man rush!!! much less 3-4 breakawyas a night…ONCE OR TWICE A GAME ON THE POWERPLAY!!!
Its Hank and a mediocre team vs the league
OMG, that was Dubinsky Renney was yelling at? Wow, this coach is pure scum, a pathetic cowardly cockroach.
now that one was on Dubi
Talk about a Sophmore slump.
I guess we wont see Dubi the rest of the night
WOW… NO COMMENT
“down by 2. lets double shift the 4th line.”
down by 3, lets triple shift 4th line, oops now down by 4 thanks 4th line
as it says on NHL CENTER ICE after a game…GOODNIGHT
Korpikoski follows Dubi’s lead with that turnover and not taking his man.
Kaspar-
Renney doesn’t have a system.He just rely’s on Lundquist to bail his ass out game in and game out.Tonight he has not been able to through no fault of his own.
wow Renney must have had some spiel in the intermission. He sure knows how to inspire the troops.
wow, glad i went to class tonight. Rangers need a wake up call.
alright Capt clutch lets get this going!
Drury trying to save his furor’s ass
Drury!
Alex
People think he has a system…I think Renney thinks it to
Renney during intermission: Eh guys, I knoo it’s not gooin so well right now, but doncha worry, we’re all goo’n oot for icecream after the game. :)
Can King Nothing make a save tonight?
Down by 3 goals and sniper Orr is on the ice and of course takes a dumb penalty.
This is why Renney is a SHITTY COACH!!!!!!!!why the hell would you put the fucking fourth line on the ice right after you score a goal.And than Colton Whore takes a dumb penalty!Renney you are and always will be a incompotent asshole,not a coach!
5:1?
just keep taking penalties…Makes comeback so much easier…UGGGH!
Am I watching a game from the 98-04 Rangers? Good lord.
He has always thrown 4th line out after a goal….
That’s a goal no question.
Still lots of time. If the Rangers can pry their heads out of their asses, they can make a helluva game out of this. Luongo bleeds just like everyone else. We’re a nasty fuggin team when we’re firing on all cylinders, 3 goals is a distinct possibility. LGR!
“Am I watching a game from the 98-04 Rangers? Good lord.”
those where a hell more fun to watch, remember Czemates, Fleury, Leetch, etc.?
NYR56-
not when you’re down by three
“He has always thrown 4th line out after a goal….”
that must be his genius system…
shouldnt renney think about pulling henrik? he clearly doesnt have it tonight, nor does the rest of the team.
This team is pathetic fire Renney and get rid of the horrible 4th line. King Nothing hasn’t made a save tonight.
Time to trade Rozsival?
I am sure he has regardless of score….Did i say i agree with it?
BOOO-YYAAAA… and there ya have it boys
Did Hank just pull himself?
Wow, this is some kind of breakdown tonight, but I feel like it has been building for a couple of games. I’m surprised they didn’t start Valiquette tonight. I was really expecting it after Henrik has played so many nights in a row. Then again, I was expecting Vali on Monday, too, especially against the struggling Senators. I guess Renney is punishing him for that showing against Toronto. I can’t see how that review did not result in a goal, but they scored anyway. See ya folks!
way to manage your goaltenders, genius Renney.
looks to me that renney has lost this team. his constant berating the kids and giving the vets a pass is taking its toll. this team is awful it has no plan and the pp is not working. no direction, no plan no guts. time for a change at the top. this is embarassing and hurts to warch this shameful performance.
This team is a fucking disgrace. Other than Lundqvist, they are garbage. Every contract is a goddamn joke.
Will his favorite Orr get yelled at like Dubi for that stupid penalty? Will Rozy get yelled at for that dumb crosschecking penalty?
Spider they have been hyping the Roberto/Hank matchup for a week now. I too wanted them to start vally. This could be a good thing for him. No pressure to find his game.
Hank left the net and went to the bench. I’ve never seen a goalie pull himself. That is wrong imo.
Henrik deserved the start tonight. He had been unbelievable this year. He almost always steals the game for the team. Not sure why anyone would get on Renney for starting him.
didnt patrick roy pull himself from a game once, when he was with the canadians? i think it was right before he was traded out of MTL
Henrik Lundqvist has been saving the Rangers butts all year long. The Rangers D are constantly all watching the puck and NEVER watching the other team all alone in the front of the net. It happens every game and it’s a GLARING problem that is never addresses as Lundqvist bails them out. This coaching staff is very professional and everyone thinks they are good. Well they have to take responsibility. Perry Pearn is responsible for defense and power play. Renney is loyal to a fault. Glaring problems and they are never addressed. They talk about it and say all the right things and are never held responsible for the three year dismal power play and the constant defensive lapses that leave Henrik out to dry. This Canucks game is just emphasizing the total day in and day out lack of defense on the Rangers. They will never advance in the playoffs leaving guys wide open in front and hoping Lundqvist bails them out. Lundqvist probably took himself out of the game because he was disgusted with the total lack of support he gets.

Nope he wasn’t pulled till he gave up 8-9 goal and he went nuts on the bench because he wasn’t pulled earlier. He went up to the team prez and said I’m done here.
This just proves we NEED a 7th d-man. It doesn’t matter if he’s scratched every night, but the 6 d have NO INCENTIVE to try to keep their jobs.
Lundqvist pulling himself was him saying he’s sick of being hung out to dry all the time.
I’d rather Hank pull himself and give himself a shred of dignity than Renney keeping him in and letting him get shelled. Renney NEVER knows when to switch goaltenders. He let Hank get shelled against MTL in the 5-0 blown lead game, and he let Vali get rocked this year against TOR. Hank made the best coaching move himself
BTW, this game is only half over. Vancouver scored 5 in 30 minutes. All we have to do is score 3. It ain’t over
Our anemic offense needs 3 goals in 30 minutes. I’m shocked we get 1 in 60.
Sam Weinman
May I propose a very simple question for you to ask Renney in the postgame:
“Tom, why do you rip young players like Dubi in plain sight, yet never the Reddens and Roszivals of the world?”
Renny Rips Farts

Getting beat to story after story is not great journalism imo.
who the fugg are you? go to the “story breakers” then…we don’t want you here…fugging moron!
I haven’t read the posts just the names above because I know how fuggin stupid they are. I love how some of you just come on to bitch and moan about how bad this game is…really don’t see you when any real hockey discussion is going on, just when the shit is hittin the fan. It just goes to show the level of knowledge we are dealing with
I was thinking…Maybe this is the Montreal game from last season with the Rangers being Montreal.
I have to say that if I was Beer Me, or Dude, or Brandon, or Jeever, or any other strong Renney fans, this exhibition would make me think more than twice about their blind support of the way this team is coached.
thanks graves9. i was just a young kid during the days when roy was in MTL. i remembered reading about that incident somewhere.
some posters on these boards talk about the need for coaching changes. i just dont see that happening unless the NYR go completely in the tank. what would it take for renney or one of his assistants to be removed?
Sports Fans? This is the score of the Boston game and the Ottawa game if Henrik doesn’t stand on his head.
Ergo! If the Rangers get anything less than supernatural goaltending, they are a rudderless mess.
PJ, Since Issiah Thomas not only ran his organization into the ground, he cost the team millions and practically raped somebody before getting shit-canned, Renney pretty much needs to be caught on video tape, holding 2 forms of photo ID, sodomizing a horse before Dolan would consider firing him.
Staal… so what u r saying that there is nothing to bitch abOOT here?
Joe in DE, absolutely hilarious post. very good point.
By the way,this canucks team lost to the Iceholes last game and only scored one goal.
this one was a joke.
terrible game.
Forget firing Renney. Of course that’s not going to happen. But let the word of truth go forth far and wide that he needs to improve in every conceivable area——- game management, player relations, x’s and o’s——- if this team has any chance to better its playoff record under him.
If I am Redden or Roszival, I have no respect whatever for the head coach. Because I know I can drop a steaming pile of shit on the logo at center ice and Renney won’t say boo.
webb –
these guys are fervent Renneyade drinkers.As far as they’re concerned,coach clueless can do know wrong.
“Joe in DE, absolutely hilarious post. very good point.”
would be funnier if he said sodomizing a hyena

did I say that sorry…what I’m saying is that no matter how bad or good this team plays, all I read is bitching.
I love the Renney haters. I love the fact that on one hand Renney doesn’t yell enough at his players and on the other hand DAMN HIM!!! he yelled at Dubinski (not one of you heard what he said so I have no idea how some of you arrived at that conclusion)
I also love the “Blind” bashing of Renney, especially when not one person here knows what was said or what is said…talk about blind and uninformed…damn!
I’m still waiting for suggestions on who would be a better coach
Do you guys think the team is gonna learn anything from this game? Oh wait probably not…the glass is half empty…this team sucks…haha
Our record might be top in the East, but for most games we played like we are the worst team in the east.

STAND UP AND BE THE MAN WE KNOW YOU ARE, SAM!
Maloney just told the truth: “This team was not prepared.”
Nuff said.
If Valley would get the start the Rangers would be leading 2-0 thanks to the hyena coach it’s 5-2.
Staal
Are you seriously trying to tell me that Renney doesn’t know the camera will show him getting in Dubi’s face?? Who cares if we can’t read his lips!! HE WON’T DO THAT TO REDDEN OR ROSZIVAL! WHO DESERVE A WORD FROM THE COACH MORE THAN ANYONE!!!
Good for Hank, if the teams not gonna play for you, don’t play for them.
Every year there is a game like this, and right now this is it. The blowout. I cant believe how bad they are playing.
Joe Mich fuggin jinxed Hank, all this “battle of the great goalie, 90 round shootout, 0-0” ugh, idiot !
Maloney is right on! This team is not prepared on most nights.I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again,Tom Renney owes at least half of his paycheck to the King because without him,he would have been out of here even faster than he was shown the door in Vancouver.This man has no clue,no system,and no ability to inspire passion from his team.That aspect of the team came from Sean Avery when he was here.
Yeah Gresch, I saw Maloney say the same thing, the team was not prepared for anything more than a good game from Luongo. Unreal.
BTW the “genius scout” behind the Redden signing is none other than Perry “great motherf$%&ing tie” Pearn. He was Redden’s assistant coach in Ottawa, and thought Redden will help his pathetic PP.
If only the Rangers had competed like this the first 35 minutes of the game.
i can name a few replacements for renney. which would hopefully inspire the team to come out with at least a little passion and fire. jim schoenfeld, john tortorella, pat burns…
NEVER DIE
The Rangers show up the last twenty minutes, yet again… someone needs to tell these guys a hockey game is three full periods.
Fire this incompetant coaching staff.
Barry Melrose is available lol
Rangers haven’t hung a goalie out to dry like that since the late 90’s when Richter flopped around so much he’d rip his groin, tear his pants, bang his noggin and reverse the inner-workings of his back…
I would volunteer to be the firing squad and line up entire Ranger defense….
Sundin is coming!
when?
Tell him to Bring the Beer
Kevin Dineen is my top choice:
http://hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/pdisplay.php?pid=1368
and he is 12-1-1 this season.
Other choices are Tortorella, Burns, Bob Hartley, and Bob Francis
Whatabout pug-faced Pat Quinn?
Boblo-
Hartley and Bob francis are losers.Burns Tortarella would be ideal.
“Hartley and Bob francis are losers”
still better than Renney
“Whatabout pug-faced Pat Quinn?”
oh yeah definitely, but he might be getting there in age and in health.
What happened to Tom’s gum? God forbid he swallowed it… it takes like 7 years to pass that thing out lol
Boblo, i like tortorella. the NYR never should have let him leave the organization. i think they need a coach who has NHL experience. they need a coach who is a tough guy and can keep it simple, light a fire when he needs to, send out orr to do his job at the appropriate time, and hold ALL players accountable for ice time. i strongly dislike how renney plays his favorites and benches some of the younger players.
Ill take it as a compliment that someone needs to post under my name, but you are right. Sundin IS coming!!
Pat Quinn coached the ‘80 Flyers and the ‘94 Canucks
He’s good for giving cups to NY teams
PJ-
Renney is a dickhead!
even Melrose would be better than our schmuck.
2 goals in 60 seconds here we go!
what about Ted Nolan?
alex b, i know, i know. i am starting to think more and more that messier was onto something when he ran renney out of VAN in the late 90s.
I love how Betts is there for the faceoff and..loses it. So much for a faceoff genius.
Kaspar
The Iceholes are not a NY team!
Great job waking up down 5-1. The Canucks have fallen back big time after they took a big lead. This type of loss has been coming for awhile. They have been flirting with getting blown out and only been saved by their goaltender. Tonight was a reflection of how you can’t sleepwalk the first half of the game and win. They had gotten lucky and only been down a goal or two while playing sluggishly. The sloppiness can not continue or else the winning ways will stop. You had guys like Redden, Dubi and Korpedo making just dump decisions with the puck. Hank also wasn’t at his best(but it was hardly his fault)The Rangers seemed unprepared for the Canucks speed. Guys like Dubinsky, Rozsival, Redden and Voros has to drive harder to the net and really become the player he was for the first ten games not the last 12 games. Zherdev also needs to be more of a factor. All these shorties against are just inexcuseable. Last year all year they gave up 6 shorties against.The only real guys that played well were Drury, Cally, Naslund and Mara. The energy was much better but it doesn’t say much when you wake up after being down by four.
Kaspar… whats that? a new Hollywood movie? is sean avery in it?
The only difference between this game and the rest was Henrik Lundqvist. Thats it! Thats why I am concerned. Its only one game other than that.
Fire Renney and Rozival and Redden and Rucinsky and Jagr and Gilbert and Giacomin and Giannone
CCCP
How about Tikhonov?
This game was no different than any of the last dozen or so games the team has played.The only difference is that the King could not bail out the(for you Bob)hayena while his “system” took hold,wich is playing for the shootout.
“what about Ted Nolan?”
I wasn’t crazy about what he did with the Islanders, he wasn’t really interested in playing talented young players, but then again some of them are proving to be nothing special. But even he is way better than our scumbag.
“Fire Renney and Rozival and Redden and Rucinsky and Jagr and Gilbert and Giacomin and Giannone”
and Geezus
I’m not surprised. Odd man rush after odd-man rush. We’ve watched players given breakaways left and right. Tonight wasn’t an anomoly, it was ordinary. Tonight was the night a little crack in the Henrik Lundqvist damn broke into a flood that proved how bad this team is…Hank can’t do everything! Screw you all who went into this game all peachy with your holier than thou attitudes, this is what you asked for. Screw you Renney lovers. He’s @hole who “wins the trust of his veterans” and as a result plays losers like Rozy, Redden, and Drury (before Drury started playing well) 25-30 minutes a game! Screw Renney for trusting Rozsival and Redden while ripping Zherdev and Dubinsky.
I am so angry because I saw this coming. This team isn’t that good. They’re solid, but mostly because they have a goalie and the next person who calls for Shanahan or Sundin should be shot…we scored 3 against Luongo, that’s pretty good. We let 5 up in the first half. Our team defense is atrocious.
Renney is going nowhere. The team is first in the East. You can say they haven’t played nearly as well as their record suggest(which is fair) I think we may see teams jump on the Rangers more early like the ‘Nucks did tonight. The pp is killing them. Renney finally broke up the d pairs. This kind of loss was coming. If not for Hank they’d likely be on a three game losing streak now.
Eh you can’t win ‘em all. This is a good wakeup call and now they gotta go beat up on Ott. Try to do something non hockey related the next day and change and get ready for Saturday.
“alex b, i know, i know. i am starting to think more and more that messier was onto something when he ran renney out of VAN in the late 90s.”
Man, he sent that hyena packing, he is still howling in pain every fool moon licking his wounds.
I’ll check back tomorrow when Rozsival is waived or traded….

“How about Tikhonov?”
__How about Tikhonov? He’ll teach all of u North Americans how to play the game … and more importantly how to manage the powerplay… and there be no favoritism… I guarantee it
how about Adam Graves and Mark Messier and Brian Leetch?
I eat my own poo!
Also Beukeboom, Richter? Don’t any of them want to send Hyena packing? I’ll even settle for Bruce Driver.
I eat Boblo’s poo!
what the HECK said:
“The only difference between this game and the rest was Henrik Lundqvist. Thats it! Thats why I am concerned. Its only one game other than that.”
That’s exactly right. And that’s scary.
Messier’s stint in Vancouver was bad so it didn’t matter if he sent Gandhi packing, it didn’t work out there.
True Fans, I should be shot huh?
Let me tell you something, pendejo. You pull any of your crazy shit with us, you flash a piece out on the lanes, I’ll take it away from you, stick it up your ass and pull the fuggin trigger ‘til it goes “click.”
Sundin IS coming!!
I wish all the players played like Ryan Callahan. He never stops hustling or hitting or driving hard to the net or more willing to shoot. Imo his play has consistant from game one thru tonight. The Rangers need alot more of guys like Cally.
Gotta like that Vally got some time in the game to shake some rust but gotta come right back with Hank saturday..
Our D is shaky but i see a need for more finishing by the rangers O. How many shots they end up with? 44?
this loss was coming.
Korpi is playing well.
Nasty 1
Nobody f’s with the Jesus!
Alex B, you basically just stole my post. Haha
Fire the hyena and bring back Slats as the coach. He can’t be happy with the hyena’s love affair with Betts.
there is simply no creativity in Renney’s offensive system, (if there even is one). Period.
what the HECK-
Didn’t mean to,looks like great hockey minds think alike.
I’m watching the Capitals v. Ducks right now and the Caps move the puck so well on the powerplay it just makes you laugh when you think about Pearn’s PP

Hey Bob get a bleeping clue would ya? I wasn’t the one that posted that.
I think Sather is in the same state as Bernie from “Weekend at Bernie’s”
I’m sorry True Fans…but I would really like to see Sundin on this team after that sh!tshow of a powerplay. We obviously need someone (Jagr last year) to command the powerplay. When was the last time we scored a 5 on 4 goal, where we were set up in the offensive zone? All of our pp goals have either been messses in front of the net or breaks down the ice. So either we change things up when set up, or we take it out of the zone whenever we get set up to try to get another break, or we can just give up on the PP and hold the puck behind our net the whole time.

Look at who they’ve got on the pp. They have the best player on the planet(Ovie) they have a great young puck moving dman(Green) and the sweedish version of Adam Oates(Backstrom)
Nasty, go squat on your wife’s night-stick. Isn’t it passed your bed time? Dont you have kids to torture in the morning? If you think Sundin fixes this team, then you’d be no dumber than if you had a hole drilled straight through your skull with white matter oozing out both sides.
Where is Beer Me? I know he was home with his wifey and watched this crap. Is he too lame to show his face?
Heck, I understand that you’re frustrated and this was a terrible game – but one guy doesn’t fix the glaring problems that were there WAY before this team was owned by Vancouver. Jagr wasn’t that good for our PP last year, so your example is sorta’ self-defeating and Sundin doesn’t help our defense, the biggest problem with this team.
I understand the “we cant just sit and do nothing” but Sundin doesn’t make this team any better. If you let up 16 odd man rushes a night, you could score all the PP goals you want!! That’s not you’re team’s problem, and you’re not going to win.
Nasty,
I heard that today on NHL Live & I have been hearing that since last week when Stan Fischler predicted where Sundin would end up with and his answer- The New York Rangers”.
You can’t win every game of the season, Now is not the time to press the panic button. take a breather and work on the Power Play for the next two days and get a win on Saturday.
Lets Go Rangers
“Look at who they’ve got on the pp. They have the best player on the planet(Ovie) they have a great young puck moving dman(Green) and the sweedish version of Adam Oates(Backstrom)”
And a Swedish Wayne Gretzky (Nylander), who we decided to replace with the 7 million dollar Rico Fata (Gomez).
Sundin is not the answer for this team
Rangers make shitty turnovers: check
Rangers offense invisible until some time in the third period: check
Henrik Lundqvist stops opposing team’s scoring chances: nope
The key third of the Rangers recent game-winning formula wasn’t there tonight, and it showed.
Ronnie Sundin IS coming!!
Bring in some people with a clue to coach this team. persue Leetch as an assistant coach to help us with the PP.
SECT302 – they’ve been working on the powerplay for two seasons and it has unequivocally sucked for the entire time. At this point it’s either the talent or the coaching that has to change. Looking at the Rangers lineup, it’s pretty clear the talent is there. Perry Pearn should no longer have a job with this organization.
If the team had a non hyena coach they’d be a cup contender instead they are the worst team around. Fire the hyena before he destroys Dawes, Korpedo, Zherdev and Dubinsky.
True fans,
Im gonna have to disagree with you once again. I think Jags was amazing on our powerplay. I’m pretty sure I might be wrong with this quote, but please correct me if Im wrong. I believe it was the fans at MSG that once chanted “MVP” when Jags was out on the ice leading the team in every category. And I believe it was Jags that lead our team last year into the playoffs. Who is going to be the veteran to lead us into the playoffs this year and will establish himself on our PP?
And I know this is only one game. But this one game, resembled every other game except one essential piece was taken out. KING HENRIK. He looked more like the jester tonight and I hope he wakes up from this. I can tell he wasn’t happy with his performance and I hope he becomes better through this experience.
The last six games—- Washington, Edmonton, NJ, Boston, Ottawa, Vancouver—- this team has embarrassed itself by its absence of commitment and its lazy, indifferent play in the first period.
And unbelievably there are still a flock of chuckleheads who will continue to maintain that there is nothing to worry about.
gota admit if i see 1 more damn game where we either
1- give up the first goal
2-give up the first 2 goals
3-give up the first 2 goals and 1 of thems shorthanded
4-watch them sleepwalk thru another half a game
5-see the freakin 4th line after a goal(if we’re trailing which we will be)
6-see renny yelling at doobs but letting the 2 most pathetic overpaid d man in the entire world including womens hockey and special olympics coast thru and leave hank out to dry
I AM GONNA UHHHH… HMMMMM…. YEA… FU*K I CANT DO ANYTHING. BUT I WILL BE MAD!!!!!!! BOBLO FOR HEAD COACH!!!!!
True Fans, stop speaking cave man. Your last post directed at me really made no sense. Don’t be mad because everyone loves the nasty 1 and they don’t like you. It is ok. It really is ok. You are being you. You are being an individual. It’s just Manny being Manny. It’s just Avery being Avery. It’s just Ruutu being Ruutu. It’s just Truefans being Truefans. Trust me, I don’t hate you for it. I can always count on you for maybe one intelligent quote and at least a laugh. But suggesting people be shot, even in a joking matter. I mean come on man. Pick those panties out of the bunch they are in. Your favorite team lost. Hell, my favorite team lost too. I am not going to lose sleep over this one. I will go as far to say that this team will probably go on a nice little winning streak after this loss tonight.
How much RESPECT do you think Hank has for Renney if he feels he can be the one to pull himself from a game??
Can you imagine such a thing happening with Keenan, Burns, Lemaire, Hitchcock, Torts, Babcock??
Renney has been emasculated, and sadly doesn’t seem to know it.
Nasty 1,
Its funny, at least you think there’s some intelligence in my comments. All I can count on from you is Sundin man-love. And that’s OK, I don’t hate you for it. Just come up with a new line, alright? Contribute something novel, it’ll make you look less dumb. If you didn’t understand my posts, it’s ok, they take a little intelligence to comprehend…
BTW: I’m surprised its been a little while since you’ve stroked your Sundin hard-on.
Last comment, if you think i mean for anyone to actually be physically hurt for their comments, you take this board a tad too literally…DON’T PULL THE TRIGGER!
Wow! You are really going to go there? Let’s take a vote. If you think True Fans posts intelligent posts please say so. If you think that I post intelligent posts please say so. If I could draw a line in the sand and stand on one side and have you stand on the other, and asked people to choose sides….excuse me for sounding cocky, but I think you would be pretty lonely on your side.
it’s one loss … RELAX!! I think any team worth a damn, has always had a great goalie to rely on, so there should be NO shame in relying on Henrik night after night. Plus, we didnt have our fastest guy (Gomez) tonight to counter-balance Vancouver’s speed.
I will say that our defense is missing something, and we need a game-breaking scorer. Paul Mara played well again tonight.
I stand on Nasty’s side for right now. Only because I dont think I have ever agreed with True Fans, except for the fact that we both like the Rangers
Disappointing loss. Henke did not play well, but his play was not atrocious, either. Two goals came on breakaways, two goals came on giveaways to wide open players 5-10 feet in front of the crease, and the other goal was a 5-3 PP goal.
When Henrik is on his game, he stops at least 3 of 5 of those shots, maybe all 5. Everyone here wanted to know what the Rangers would look like without spectacular goaltending—well, there you have it.
However, anyone who is going to badmouth Lundqvist or place this loss solely on his shoulders doesn’t deserve to be a NYR fan. If Lundqvist doesn’t stand on his head all season, we’re 5-14-2 and have allowed more than 5 goals in 10+ games.
Our team defense sucks. Renney is a defense first coach—he needs to straighten that out. I’d rather go back to playing a strict trap, then allow these chances while playing a “speedy puck-posession game”.
Hopefully they destroy Ottawa on Saturday.
YEA!!!!!!!! LETS GO RANGERS LETS KILL THE SENS SATURDAY!. IM OVER THIS LOSS ALREADY. EVERYBODY LETS VOTE NOW I VOTE FOR NASTY !!!!!!!!!!!!!
I VOTE FOR BOB TO BE LOCKED IN A CAGE AT THE ZOO FULL OF HUNGRY HYENAS!!!!. DONT WORRY BOB THEY ONLY EAT MEAT, NOT SHIT
When was the last time Orr fought someone that we needed him to fight? Well, nows his chance. He needs to F up RUUTU!!!
yeah i gotta side with Nasty too.
I also like to stroke my Sundin hard-on from time to time, i hear its good for the heart to do it every now and again. Maybe all us Pro-Sundin guys should just gather for a Sundin circle jerk (proposed by True Fans)
Plus, bringing in Sundin would mean that Rozsival would be gone and im DEFINITELY ALL FOR THAT !!!
Move past the Loss, and onto the next game
“Plus, bringing in Sundin would mean that Rozsival would be gone and im DEFINITELY ALL FOR THAT !!!”
How does aquiring Sundin move Rozsival? haha.
Nasty, why don’t you just revert to 5th grade and create a ballot for your man-lovers…”Do you like me, check a box… YES—NO”
You’re a class-A joke dude.
Yeah, I will do that. Good idea.
Anyway, I agree we need a more punishing dman. But our team is in the top 3 in goals against in the league. We definitely need to up our physical game and make it more difficult to play against us. We need to have players on the other team scared to take a hit and force them to make passes that cause turnovers. Something we only do about 35 minutes in to the game. I am in no way saying that this team is fine the way it is. We need a few tweaks, but this team never just gives up. I will say it again. We are going to be alright here. You can’t win them all. A lot can be said about they way any team wins or loses a game. Many of the games we won this year we could have easily lost and some of the games we lost we could have easily won. That is the game. We have found ways to win. Something this team used to NEVER do. So I will take the team, the coach, the defense, and the record for right now. If something comes along that can make the team better, so be it. Let’s Go Rangers! I am just as pissed that they lost folks, but it is only one. If we go on a losing streak, then let’s start ripping the team apart. Do you think Detroit hit the panic button when the shit the bed against the Penguins last week. I doubt it.
Betts lost this game.
fire this retarded coaching staff please. Betts is a disgrace doesn’t hit and can’t score.
“I’m gonna get you bob”
I’m with Nasty.
Franco don’t let the door hit you on the way out. staal agree with you at 9:06
80% of the posts tonight gave me a headache
I’m not surprised by the loss. We were long overdue for one of these, where a lackluster and uninspired first 30 minutes was NOT made up for by a raucus second half. Eventually you dig a hole you can’t get out of. The answer is not Sundin. Hell, we basically just scored 3 goals against the guy who shuts everybody down, in half a game. The Rangers can run and gun with the best of em. The goals come when the desire and passion is there. When it isn’t, well….
thanks for keeping some normalcy
nasty, staal, spider, joe in de, all hail, mike in ia, somerset, deja, kaspar, garden faithful, what the h, sec 302, and orr (mostly). prob a couple i missed but those i named i enjoyed reading your insights
LI Joe
80% of the comments tonight gave you a headache. Well…
...100% of the coaching’s staff inability to prepare this team to play from the opening draw for the SIXTH STRAIGHT GAME gave ME a headache.
Bada-bing, Gresch. Amen.
Well-coached teams do not give up three 140-foot breakaways in a month, much less in the first ten minutes of a period.
How many hockey games have Renney’s butt boys actually watched? Do they not recognize lousy hockey when it stares them in the face?
hey Nasty 1… did u just grab my ass? lol
14-6-2
deep breaths
Luongo Wins!
Finish Him!
rips the human disguise off a Hyana and sodomizes laughing Hyena to death with a goalie stick
Fatality!
the end.
Honestly, for those of you who watched this one on TV, no way that could have done it justice. I think that may have even surpassed the complete garbage on the ice from 99-04. It was really the most pathetic display I can ever remember seeing. I have no idea how on earth at the NHL level a guy splits the defense for a breakaway while they waive matador flags. The shortie was just atroocious. And I thought the first period was bad – the second was just grotesque. Goals #3 and 4 were just outrageous, guys gifing up the puck, Canucks 2 feet in front of the net with not a Ranger anywhere near them. And the second goal #5 crossed the line, Hank skated to the nech, so he did indeed take himself out and the body language of how it went down was absolutely not :I;m having a bad night” but “I’ve had enough of these morons in front of me and Im not taking it anymore”. I called my wife up after the second period and told her to wake up my 7 year-old son and call his Mite team, tell them to get their butts down here because this was the night they were going to beat the Rangers.
Honestly, there are no words to describe how bad they were tonight.
LI Joe, you get headaches from reading posts …. and you’re telling others to breathe deeply??
dewey – figure of speech.
but a lot of the posts were a total waste of time to read, against the terms of comments, and annoying as heck. you guys do realize that women and children read this as well.
i need to do a better job of skipping some posters. but i think some are posting under multiple names.
This team has not showed up for a first period in almost three weeks, and yet the Renney Zombies are still drinking the Kool-Aid. “Everything’s fine, 14-6-2, we’re playing great!”
Incredible.
CCCP
Your remark about Tikhonov not playing favorites was dead-on. Not sure about everything else in the old Bolshie’s program, but a little of that could do a world of good now.
webb- maybe its just keeping 1 game in perspective. many predicted that the Rangers would not make the playoffs this year.
see people can get critical of this player or that or coach or gm. and anyone who does not drink their kool-aid they insult with phrases like renney zombies. and a lot worse than that. see some posts up above for examples of childish insults.
this is not the harlem globetrotters. there are 2 teams playing and the fix is not in automatically for the other team to always lose.
They have been flirting with getting blown out and only been saved by their goaltender. Tonight was a reflection of how you can’t sleepwalk the first half of the game and win. They had gotten lucky and only been down a goal or two while playing sluggishly. The sloppiness can not continue or else the winning ways will stop.
....
Lots of great posts, but this is the forst one I copied and it really says it all.
This team finally got the beating that was coming to them and while it disgusts me to see such a shitbag effort out of my team, I’m glad it happened tonight of all nights. I’m glad all the jokes around here so proud of the misleading record see what happens when Henrik stops being the savior he is to this team. This is exactly what I was saying to that dude94… not that Henrik is going to slump, but be are ROYALLY F’d if he does…
The New York Rangers were exposed tonight. They are the Henrik Lundqvist show and nothing more.
Also, any… I mean ANY other goaltender pulls that shit taking himself out in such a way…you pay a massive price. Massive. Gotta give Hank the pass on it though… guy can only take so much… this team has hung him out to dry and I don’t blame him one single iota for bailing on them tonight.
Teams got a lot of work to do. A lot. Good luck trying to shed Rozsival’s (or leisure suit Wade’s for that matter) contract now…. fat f*cking chance.
