I feel like Moe trying to break up all the little verbal scraps going on here in the last 24 hours.
It’s OK. Controversy is good in blog-world. But I hate to see it get personal. I’m not telling you what to do, but I just wish we could limit it a bit. Whatever.
Blog headquarters was blacked out for a while yesterday because the high winds knocked a tree down and it fell onto the power lines. So I couldn’t post if I wanted to during those hours.
That’s OK because there sure wasn’t much to report.
NBC-TV, which is doing Sunday’s game (12:30 against the Flyers) always provides some pre-telecast hype from its commentators. Here is this week’s:
Pierre McGuire on the Rangers troubles: “Everybody’s in a funk for the Rangers at the same time. They need to find a way to score goals, that’s obvious. Even earlier in the season when they were winning, it was with team defense and goaltending. Their puck movement from their defense, supposedly a strength, has been a glaring weakness. And they miss Jaromir Jagr. He and Marty Straka opened up somuch room for everyone else on the ice.”
OK, it’s not very deep or inside analysis. But it’s not bad.
Now here’s Mike (“The Shoe”) Milbury on the Rangers-Flyers rivalry:
“There are no two ways about it, these teams hate each other and always will.”
Gee, Mike, hope you didn’t spend too much time analyzing that, or researching those facts. Actually, Rangers-Flyers isn’t nearly the hate-filled blood war it once was. Yeah, Markus Naslund really hates Mike Knuble. Please.
One other nugget yesterday was that Gary Bettman visited Yankee Stadium (the new stadium) at the invitation of the Yankees’ brass. On his Sirius XM show “The NHL Hour” Bill Clement asked the commish if that was related to a possible Winter Classic in the Bronx next January.
“Obviously, that’s the reason they invited us,” Bettman said. “But this is EXTREMELY preliminary. To suggest we’re even at the ‘embryonic’ stage would be an exaggeration.”
I’ll be back later with any updates, and will post a gamer before the 7:30 faceoff tonight in Sunrise, Fla.
Until then, try not to kill each other.

Try not to kill each other…hahahaha
FIRST !!!!!!!!!
DARN, I thought I was first
I hate Mike Milbury. Just tossing that out there.
florida won 5-0 last night
i’m scared.
“”I feel like Moe trying to break up all the little verbal scraps going on here in the last 24 hours.””
LMAO!!!
Good one, Carp! Haa ha!!
lol poor Tony…
that was some deep thought their from Milbury…. I hope Orr faces off with a couple of Flyers for them all to discuss how much they love fighting in hockey again…
Hey KrispyNYR, you not alone in hating Milbury
Carp
When are they going to update the “About this blog” section on the main page?
I’m going to show my texting ignorance here, What does LMAO mean?
I figured out IMO and IMHO and some of the others, and I know all about LOL. But I’m learning on the fly here. So if anybody can bring me up to speed on some of the jargon that I might see here or elsewhere, it would be appreciated.
Agravaine, it’s a slow, slow process here at Rangers Report. We’re working on it.

repost
“Turns out, “we” (ford, wd40, salty, dubi or not dubi) WERE RIGHT. When the team was winning in November, they weren’t good wins. They were Lundqvist making 28 saves, of which 21 were some combination of penalty shots, breakaways, odd-man rushes, or ridiculous one-timer high-quality scoring chances.”
How was I not included? I made a bet with someone while the team was 10-2-1 that if they finished any higher than 7th place I would never post here again.
I forgot who that was though. If the team misses the playoffs, he has to never post here again.
7th or 8th is a push.
I wonder if Bettman actually likes hockey?
Through the mountains and rivers, through the fogs and slumps of the LoHud Rangers Blog… here comes Carp the Great to restores peace and unity!
The blog last night got pretty ugly… I was there… I saw it ALL!! Lets not forget why we all here… we here to insult each… no, seriously though…we here for the Rangers… none of us want to see this team fail…we all want nothing but success for this team… of course, opinions will fly and some people will be wrong…some will be right…that’s just the nature of the argument! Let’s focus on tonight’s game against Florida…team that the Rangers haven’t beaten on the road in a non-shootout game since February of 2003.
There are a few exception so this, of course, but most team rivalries are about the fans a lot more so than the players. So yes, Carp, Naslund and Knuble probably don’t mind each other, but the fans of each despise the other. That won’t ever change.
Does Eric Lindros hate Eric Lindros?
Buster…There’s probably 15 different Eric Lindros personalities floating around in that salad tossed head of his!
Q:How many Lindros’s does it take to change a light bulb?
A:Not even Eric knows because his lights are always out.
...thats just bad!
Cynar, you’re right. We don’t know how good Redden is or isn’t and won’t until the coaches try to light a fire under his a@@, old school. He probably thinks he’s doing fine by how Renney keeps giving him all this ice time and PP time.
I know I may get flamed for this ^ comment, but I’ll take that risk.
Last post cut and pasted from other thread..
CCCP,
sometimes it is hard to read posts and conclude, that some don’t want the team to fail. But that being said…not everyone is going to agree on the method…just the end result.
Re “I wonder if Bettman likes hockey.” Answer: About as much as the people who perpetrated 9/11 like Americans. As least their mission was out in the open and not subversive, as this little mole’s is. Hey, the guy was weaned on the NBA, can you grasp that?
Vokoun made 42 saves last night (11 on staal). I hate when we play streaking goalies.
Just recently heard that one of the big reasons why Lindros got banged up so quickly was because:
He slept with Rod Brind’Amour’s wife (this seems to be common knowledge). But what’s not so common knowledge is that when Rod found out, it came to blows in the locker room, and Rod actually concussed Eric earlier in the night in the locker room, the same night that Scott Steven’s “ended” Eric’s career. So he got like a double or whatever. Just heard this Weds night, but speaking of EL.
If I am not mistaken, the Fla. Panthers do not have a heavyweight enforcer…..Renney should rest up Colton Orr and put Prucha in the lineup for a change of pace.
Let Colton Orr rest up for the staged battle vs. Riley Cote on Sunday afternoon.
Just my thoughts.
Carp,
How did you figure out what IMHO was? No one on here says that… they just say “we should do this or that… or he should do this or that… and you’re wrong if you think this”
IMHO
Colton Orr hates Riley Cote?
You havn’t seen “Renney sucks IMHO” 200 times a day here?
Riche not to many humble opinions going on here? Is that what you are saying? ;)
What kind of a hockey guy uses the word EMBRYONIC… what a tool…
INUO
In my undisputed opinion
Let’s not be afraid of the Florida Panthers, please. They still trail us in the standings. They have 3 good players. They are coming into the 2nd night of a back-to-back. This is a very winnable game for the Rangers.
But here’s something we can all agree on: how hilarious Ron Moeller’s announcing is! This is some of the funniest stuff I’ve ever heard, gimmicky as it may be:
http://deadspin.com/5153013/florida-panthers-announcer-has-seen-wedding-crashers-a-few-too-many-times
CORRECTION to my previous post…RANDY MOLLER, is his name. My apologies. Still, enjoy the clip!
Hooray for vocabulary bashing! Hooray!
Hahaha Carp love the title for this one
GO Rangers
Vokoun’s gotta let in a goal eventually… Let’s undress him
Liquid good suggestion play Prucha and rest orr for the thugs on SUnday..
Renny will never do it for some unknown reason but smart idea…
Beer me!
Happy Valentine’s day

How’s that for behaving Rick??
Very nice, Kaspar. I expect that from you. LMAO
Randy Moller, one of the great ex-Rangers. He was often booed like Redden, but a great guy who stuck up for teammates and a really good sense of humor. After a game he’d say stuff like, “I’ve been to 11 World’s Fairs, but I’ve never seen anything like that.”
Is the beloved Denis Potvin still doing TV or radio for the Panthers, too? Anybody know?
It is absolutely mind-blowing that Mike Milbury is allowed anywhere near a hockey rink after completely ruining the Islanders. Really, how does this man have any credibility to speak on hockey? It’s unreal.

I’ve been posting that for weeks…I think he dogs it sometimes but I keep writing “its like the Yankees paying Sabathia to catch”...Reddens only strenth was QB’ing the Rush on breakouts and PP’s…playing for the Rangers one-man-dump-in-and-change isnt correct for him..it lets you only focus on his defensive play which HAS NEVER BEEN A STRENTH!!
There was a reason Chris Phillups and Zdeno Chara were paired with him
RE: Mike – he is just low class the way he used to bash Jagr on national tv during those NBC game and Pierre will always be a weenie. That’s the perfect description for him. WEENIE!
Florida is a joke franchise. With that being said, 4-2 Panthers.
Rob C
great clip! Weird how a lot of his goal calls have nothing to do with hockey… not even metaphorically. You know “up where mom keeps the cookie jar” and “tic tac toe” have some kind of figurative hockey meaning—“meatloaf!” i’m not too sure.
Carp,
Denis Potvin definitely does something for the Panthers. Because of the high NY concentration of people down here the games are always packed full of Rangers fans, including me.
Every time that we do the “Potvin sucks” chant, the jumbotron says “Potvin 4 Cups” when its done.
Florida is a joke franchise. With that being said, 4-2 Panthers.
See CCCP, Does Zhervalev want the Rangers to succeed?
Carp,
Just got the answer….
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denis_Potvin
Underneath the section titled “Current Life”
Carp
Potvin does color on Panther games
he is annoying but, all things considered, he treats the rangers better than I would I they chanted Kaspar Sucks…which they do sometimes in Minsk…long story :(
*if they chanted…
The same things have happened in the Rangers organization that have happened in corporate America.
You have a total xxxx as CEO (Dolan), a clown who gives nepotism a bad name. This clown is concerned only about the bottom line (stock value), so that he can continue his partying lifestyle.
The clueless CEO hires a washed up, failed exec from another company to be president, who happens to have a reputation – undeserved, but his name has “bling” (Sather). The new president immediately brings in all his old cronies from his other failed projects, and sets to work doing the same things that failed in his prior job.
Once the president sets up his hierarchy, he sits back and starts enjoying life once again. Top-shelf bourbon, expensive Cubans, interminable vacations… and best of all, if anyone catches on to his racket, he has a bunch of incompetent underlings that he can blame everything on.
I’ve seen this exact scenario going on in the corporate world since the early ‘90s. It’s what has gotten this country into the xxxx that it’s in, and it’s what has gotten the Rangers into the xxx that they are in.
The only solution is to clean house from the top down.

Stuart, you’re kidding, right?
Remember the last time Orr was scratched vs the Flyers and they got mugged and run over by Fedoruk and some others? Dolan actually ripped Renney a new one for scratching Orr from that game (resulting in Orr now famously “Fedoruking” Fedoruk in the next Rangers/Flyers match) and has never scratched him since. That’s one of the few smart moves Renney has done the last couple of seasons.
Who would win in a fight?
Voros or Reitz?
haha! not so easy is it!

That’s another excellent point. I wonder how long it will take Sather to get the message that his prize FA signing is not thriving under Renney’s stupid system and take some kind of action. Whether that is demanding Renney make them open it up more or just letting Tom go. We can only hope he comes out of his coma soon.
Jeffluke
Ditka! would beat both Reitz or Voros
anyone else hear about a Pavel Bure comeback? is this more Ecklund K-rap makin the rounds???
Stuart and Liquid… Sorry, I read your posts wrong. I thought you meant to rest Orr on Sunday.
I didn’t get much sleep last night. ;)
Here is the big unfortuante picture for us Rangers fans. Dolan won’t fire Sather, Sather won’t fire Renney so were stuck with him. I believe every NY writer sees what the fans see in that the current roster can not, and to some degree will not play Renny’s sytem. Jagr and company were let go because they knew or would fight with Renney about this “System” Prucha is a by product because he looked at Jagr like a god, and by association Renney is making him pay. So we all see the Rangers woes will continue until someone from some corner of the Garden can get to Dolan and make him realize what’s going on, and how much Sather (Pompous ass) is reuining this organization. There are teams that will not trade with us because THEY DONT LIKE SATHER. Search the web you can find it at other teams sites. They think he is pompous and they wouldn’t trade with him to save their own job. Someone needs to corner Dolan and make him wake up. It’s sad because I’m a huge Ranger fan, and this situation is making me sick. I would take the years of no playoffs over this current situation. Unless like I posted earilier someone can bend Renney’s ear and make him change this “system” were doomed.
Good solid NHLers do not become bad players over night. Renney has ruined Gomez, Drury and other guys game.
Kasper,
Are you serious? That takes the cake for most ridiculous rumor ever.
“anyone else hear about a Pavel Bure comeback?”
Yeah, he’s coming back to every rink in the NHL so he can check the “Lost and Found” boxes to see if they ever found his knees.
Either his knees or Valeri.
Kaspar
all my Bure searches lead back to his comeback attempt in ‘06. Isn’t he 38! Wasn’t his game speed, and only speed? Good Luck to the Russian Rickshaw.
Doodie,
He needs to look no further than the Meadowlands or Brendan Byrne Arena or Continental Airlines Arena or Izod Center or whatever else they want to call it.
Cynar, all good points. We had years of no playoffs and didn’t capitalize (draft well) on it. Of course, you can’t corner Dolan and knock sense into him. Dolan thinks he’s smarter than everybody else so don’t tell him Sather is shot. This is all very frustrating as the Rangers seemed to be heading into the right direction and now seem to be heading into nowhere.
(CYNAR) Well it time you go find anutha team because it sounds like you are pritty stresses about this ..Try not to dwell on ownership too long because ” news flash” \ YOU cant fire the owner!! Just relax and put turn your hate into hope and maybe well win another hockey game…game by game and right now we are gonna whooop some PANTHA AZZ , but those panthers are dam good so we are gonna have to show up for this one!! I predicted last game right and i made one earlier that I d have to look and see what I said.
Salty starts things on here but said he ment well and does n’t hate anyone on here ,,,well the garbage ya say about me being a meth head is just plain classless . Look him up , he says stuff a young punk would say . He barks on Orr saying stuff but look at him , Ol Salty making Cancer remarks is just another Dumb comment again…Im with LI joe on this one.
LET”S WIN THIS ONE FOR AVERY’s return!!
I just searched Ecklunds site
he metioned Bure today ( maybe earlier too)I cant tell if he meant Valeri or Pavel butIt was mentioned and laughed at earlier on Montreol radio..couldnt tell if it was serious or not….probably just idiot ecklund with nothuing else happening…or at least nothing at level e4 or more…
“anyone else hear about a Pavel Bure comeback?”
dude is old.
wow, didn’t realize Bure had 50 pts in 51 games for the rangers. Let’s get him!
Yo Salty , Bure is like some president for russia or something . Him comming back to play hockey!!? Yeah I’d sign him still , quik lil guy probally 10 times faster than Voros. BTW Salts sorry about your mother , thats a horibul thing to have happen ..I know you ment no harm , having had your own problems with it.
but those panthers are dam good so we are gonna have to show up for this one!!
........
No, they aren’t good.
With respect to Carp I’m biting my tongue on your last post, but I’d love to respond and embarrass you as usual.
Thanks for the words, she’s hanging in there these days.
I don’t get you.
zZzZ 13 ZzZz rules!! I’m with you about not stressing over this, but the Rangers are the team I love. It just sucks that there are the problems, which appear to be like the empire state building in the middle of a corn field, but like I said no one is doing anything about it. Just fustrated because I have a younger son who is just now getting into hockey and we try to watch the Rangers as often as possible. BTW there is no given win with this Ranger team. I hope they bring the same game like Washington, but again, unless someone tells Renney to change these players will not show all the time. They are obviously annoyed with the coach just listen to the post game. If you ask me they seem to be trying to tell Renney this is not the hockey we need to play. Believe me I hope of all hopes that things start to change. I will never be anything except a Ranger fan.
Hey you guys!...you see how rumours start?
On FLA
Florida is just another mediocre team…a lot of people who realize that rangers are either:
A) Bad or
B) coached bad
try to play up the other team to lesson the blow of the Rangers getting beaten
there are exactly 7 good teams in the NHL
Boston
Sjose
Detroit
New Jersey
Washington
Chicago
Calgary
maybe Philly????
The rest are mediocre to bad…
This has been a message from your therapist
Dr. Kaspar
Within the last 2 years look what Boston has done. Why can’t we do that?
IMUO – in my undisputed opinion
classic Jay!
Ummm We have some bum called Sather as our GM and Renney as our coach, that’s why.
Cynar,
beacause we’re the Rangers… 50 years minimum between being good.
( Cynar ) Your young son and you watching theses games is priceless! It’s great to hear and I know watching them lose kinda blows things….but sticking with the team through tough times will make your child more aware of bad times so when the good time come , you both learn and live the emotions of hockey . I envie you and I wish good games to come , but don’t talk politics and how the manangment sucks cuz it will hurt your boy..let him yell at a Gomez , but never lose faith because as much as we hate Sather and Renney , those are Rangers out there playing and I hope to hell they win tonight!! Bottom line.
Dr. Kaspar
since the allstar break, 2 of our losses have been to good teams (NJ, BOS) and we do have a win against a good team (WAS).
Thanks for softening the sting.
Of the bad teams, I’m going to ignore PIT, DAL, ATL, and just focus on our win against CAR.
I don’t talk about any of this with my son so maybe that’s why I post here. :) It’s just amazing to watch other franchise’s go from worst to first, and here we are middle of the road “driving Ms. Daisy with no paticular place to go”

wtaching the Rangers and these medioce teams

One of my favorite contributors e-mailed regarding the Wizard of Oz reference yesterday. He said:
“Just close your eyes, click your ruby slippers together three times and say, ‘There’s no place like Banff, there’s no place like Banff, there’s no place like Banff.’ ”
*watching
If these guys just had an OK PP they’d have someplace to go.
I still say Sather came here because he wanted to mess up a big money franchise for all the problems they caused for the Canadian franchises. i.e. Edmonton
, ‘There’s no place like Banff, there’s no place like Banff, there’s no place like Banff.”
......and your little forwards too
Kaspar, you kill me.
Anybody find any lineup updates for tonight?
Kalinin Vs Reitz?
Lines?
What Prucha will be wearing?
I found out why Renney won’t play Pru read note below!!!!!!!
Dear Coach Renney,
Please excuse my son Petr from ever playing in NY because he finds it hard to play well for coaches like you.
Thank you for your time,
Mrs. Pru
Korpi is sure playing great!! He is makin some noise out there!! Just think if 2 different players actually showed up a night we could be winning some hockey games.
We don’t have what Detroit has and maybe it’s there players or thier coach but we have something and when it shows it’s self , we could be in business. Maybe an Avery sighting?? I dare any other team to pick him up !! I dare them !! We win both ways if that happens.
suit and tie
oh… and a frown.
Salty….are you sure about the Brindamour Lindros KO pre-game? That sounds like a wives tale but it makes for good entertainment.
Carp…..can you figure this one out….MSG to Sather: E S A D!
Sorry…I couldn’t resist.
did Carp make a funny 3 Stooges reference?
Soitenly.
nyuk. nyuk
oooooooooooooooh,
Newman.
I know i know i know
lol
let’s see. among Dolan, Sather, and Renney
who is Moe, who is Larry, and who is Curly?
Forget the Stooges!!
Do Billy Madison
Billy: Dubinsky
Billy’s two brainless pals: Gomez and Sjostrom
Billy’s Father: ??
Billy’s girl: ??
Billy’s pricipal??
Billy’s rival???
Billy’s 3rd grade pal Ernie????
etc etc
Is the answer:
Dolan is Curly because he’s the dumbest…
Sather’s Larry because he’s dumb and insane…
and Renney is Moe because he thinks he’s smart, but he’s just as dumb and insane as the other two?
O’Doyle rules!
I HATE YOU ERIC LINDROS!
Mr. Madison, what you’ve just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
Sather and Dolan are out in the woods hunting when Dolan collapses. He doesn’t seem to be breathing and his eyes are glazed.
Sather takes out his phone and calls the emergency services. He gasps: “I think my friend is dead! What can I do?”
The operator says: “Calm down, I can help. First, let’s make sure he’s dead.”
There is a silence, then a gunshot is heard. Back on the phone, Sather says: “OK, now what?”
CCCP…..that joke was done earlier with Renney and Sather…and it was lame then…don’t quit your day job.
i coudnt resist!!
plz dont hate me now!! :P
Ted Dolan walks into a bar…
“ouch that hurt.”
Glen Sather walks into a bar…
what a dumbass, you think he would’ve seen DOLAN!
New Newman i don’t have a day job and i am homeless… I’m sitting here at the Burger King Internet cafe! r u gonna start referencing me and call me “the cancer” of this blog?!

i’d like extra mayo with that and cold french fries plz, thnk u
Agreed rivalry has died down a bit. But guys like Cote and those other punks who fight with their visors on really get under everyone’s skin.
Going to miss the game tonight :( I’ll be at a moe. concert @ Terminal 5. I hope there’s re-entry so I can catch some of a period at a bar. Maybe they have a bar with a TV hmmmmmm
ANYWAYS
LET’S GET RANGERS!
so nothing else to report than the 2 dumbest hockey guys around? damn no line changes??? im sooo disappointed in renny. prucha better not play tonight too cuz the panthers are big and ferocious they should be called the florida Ligers, ya know half lion half tiger- bred for their magical abilities. especially their ability to come back down 4 goals to beat toronto and than then blow out a carolina team at home while we barely survived against them. tough game tonight. somebody better watch zednik and booth tonight. but i hear their d aint too shabby on the offensive side
The only that can generate power to this offense is a bolt of lightning
Here’s an interesting stat on Avery… he played 86 games with the Rangers… and had 56 points.. that’ .61 PPG
Postseason he had 12 points in 18 games… .67 PPG
For 1.9m…. please oh please!
(No TV’s at Terminal 5)
Good post on the possibility of a drastically reduced salary cap for 2010-11 and the teams who will be screwed. Guess who’s on the list? If you want to see a lot of Hartford Wolfpack kids, you’ll get your wish.

According to the Renney Line Generator, the lines for tonight are as follows
Line 1: Gomez Dubinsky Betts
Line 2: Callahan Korpikoski Drury
Line 3: Orr Zherdev Voros
Line 4: Naslund Dawes Sjostrom
Newman…
The Brind’amour vs Lindros rumour thing is pretty well known… That it came to a fight in the locker room is lesser known though, and that Lindros was possibly concussed before a game during it is something I just heard the other night and wouldn’t doubt it.
In my efforts trying to find out more about this story over the years… All I can find is kind quotes about Lindros by Rod the Bod, all after they both left PHI … Just kinda shows you how much these guys are animals if its true. Rod was probably getting so much fine trim on the road that his wife getting tagged out by the Philly Alpha Dog didn’t bother him all that much in the long run. Probably dropped her like a bad habit. Also would show how pathetic Lindros is to go after a teammates wife when he was Top Gun and could likely have most anything else he wanted. Weak move.
Anyone have really bad allergies just start today? AHH!!!
Thanks Joe in De
I’ve been dying to see Betts get some big minutes on the wing. Can’t believe Renney hasn’t tried Orr and Z earlier, these two are a 6 point game waiting to happen!:)
and then he changed his mind again…
Line 1: Dawes Betts Sjostrom
Line 2: Dubinsky Orr Gomez
Line 3: Zherdev Voros Korpikoski
Line 4: Drury Callahan Naslund

just make sure that we go back to october 08 instead of 1955 so we can congratulate truefans, wd40, etc.. on their prophetic ability to foresee this collapse of epic proportions. then we can go to may 09 so we can skip ahead of the 1 million ” i told u so ” posts
Dammit CCCP!
he broke up Z and Orr!
Hollweg put on waivers- anyone want him back?
id take hollywood over voros
j/k. even voros is better than that fool
Also F. Kaberle and Josh Gratton
Maybe Pittsburgh can pick up Hollweg and put him on a line with Crosby and Dupuis to form Voltron.
Staal, I actually gave it to somebody to give to Renney. I think even he’d get a kick out of it.
