Montreal tonight
This is make or break for the Rangers tonight, no other way to put it. Nik Antropov (left knee) is playing, which Rangers coach John Tortorella said earlier tonight. Montreal is 41-28-10 and in seventh place in the standings, while the Rangers are 40-30-9 and in eighth. With 89 points, the Rangers are tied with Florida but have the tiebreak with three games remaining. The game is on MSG Plus.

Update: The winner of the Steven McDonald extra effort award this season, as voted by the fans, is Ryan Callahan.
Starting players: Paul Mara, Derek Morris, Sean Avery, Nik Antropov, Scott Gomez and Henrik Lundqvist.

Tied with Florida*
Stupid Upstate! Stupid MSG playing Knicks bios and 50 KOs instead of the Rangers game! Brilliant scheduling you… you tampons! Grr!
Can’t believe we’re rooting for Philthy tonight. I’ll need a couple showers later.
Sorry I couldn’t attend. My work blocks anything with video. :(
I always love this time of year. It’s weird how the weather starts to get warmer and all it makes me think is the playoffs on ice! I wish I was in the city. I will be listening to the rangers game while watching the flyers tonight since I am in philly. I have a small part of me that would love to see Florida and NY Rangers win out and potentially knock out the Cryers.
according to zipay these r the lines
Avery-Gomez-Antropov
Naslund-Drury-Callahan
Korpikoski-Dubinsky-Zherdev
Sjostrom-Betts-Orr
i guess torts thought my question made sense
and by the way, and video streams online will be appreciated!
matt r- u think naslund should be on the 2nd line? i think maybe the 3rd with drury.
isnt the game on MSG+ ?
Watch Dubi move up or whatever you call it to play with Cali…I almost guarantee that this adjustment will be made…
I agree. Naslund and Drury should be on the third with Korpikowski. Put Z with Dubi and Cally on the 2nd.
hey joeybriggs the game will be streaming live and free hers the link http://channelsurfing.net/ scroll down a bit butits there
CCCP,
The game is on MSG Plus. I edited the post to pop that in…
The Rangers will win tonight in regulation. A win like the one last week over NJ. And everyone will wildly swing once again on the pendulum.
Let’s GO RANGERS!!!!!!!!!
Thank You Jane McManus! That was very nice of you! :P
Dear MSG guys,
I’m sorry I called you all tampons. According to my tv I am watching the Knicks Poetry Slam, but it sure looks like the pregame show to me.
I just at a bunch of tortellini for good luck. LETS GO RANGERS!!!
According to Joe Micheletti the players care so much that they can’t score goals? HHMMM… maybe they shouldn’t care and goals will come… although that strategy doesn’t work for Drury.
We have to put the puck at the net EVERY time we have it. Please already. Just throw it towards the net. Please already. Just do that for me. Please. Please.
Cally should have gotton the Steven Mac award
effort will determine this one.
will over skill
who wants it more
everyone play like Cally
the Steven McDonald winner, I hope
we need to put anro n avery in front of the night all night long. We need to start to just rip shots and see what happens crash the net. I remember when i was young which was 5 years ago ha all my coaches used to say was crach the net and good things happen. Why cant we do this? dubi always take the puk around the net… screw that take it head on and c where th puck gos
We need a little bit o luck
Fat chance
We are lucky to be alive
Take 5
Dopplerbob, they haven’t given it out yet.
No they already said Dubi got the award unless I misunderstood?
We need more than luck – we need Hank !
Ok then Cally has to get it. For a minute there I was surprised that it was Dubi this year.
Pretty sure that was last year…
I bet it’ll be Cally :)
guys maybe we sould relax too and maybe we’ll win!!!
Workin on it, Mike/Jerkins. I’m already on my 2nd beer and nothing’s happened yet.
I have MSG+ because I live in the right part of the town (Brooklyn that is) but I really don’t get why the game isn’t on MSG tonight? It’s a home game and an important game! How’s Knicks poetry slam and Knicks in general more important than the Rangers?
How big is the first goal? LETS GO
2nd beer here too Sally!
CCCP, where in Brooklyn? I spent the past 4+ years in Prospect Heights. Loved it.
CCCP-
And to think as of Sunday this game was going to be on the OVERFLOW channels- crappy and no HD- at least they moved it to HD. I emailed MSG and Crappyvision about 25 times each. Glad they moved it!
Biggest game of the year!!!!!!!!!!! OMG im freaking out!!!!!!!!!1
Here we go! CALLY! CALLY! CALLY!
No game for me, gotta settle on the f4ggy french stream.. ugh
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! UPSTATE REPRESENT!!!
ryan callahan baby!!!!
shared with petr prucha!!!
Sally
Sheepshead Bay! I love Brooklyn; don’t see myself living anywhere else. :)
Prucha!? For the 28 games where he did nothing? AHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA!
OK Cally scores the first goal
Dopplerbob
exactly… they wanted to ditch the game completely by showing it on some MARS channel! Disgrace
WTF/ An award for extra effort and Redden isn’t the RUNAWAY winner? I DEMAND A RECOUNT!
Glad to see Antro back out there.
I love the award but it makes me feel old…seems like only last year Connor was like 5 and now he’s a grown man
wtg Cally, that was a slam dunk
its called a joke bro and he played harder in those 28 games then the entire team did in boston
way to go nazzy way to go
FIRE REDDEN!
Wade Redden. 2 minutes for being
omg cally wtfffffffffffffffff
Oh Cally! Holy mooooly!!! I wish that had gone in!
I f-ing love Callahan
Does anyone want to buy me a HD TV? Please?
Staal at his worst is better than Redden at his absolute best
Yay!! Cally now come on boys
Great rush by Staal!
clangggg
where is everybody tonight
Sally go to a sports bar if you want to see the game in HD but dont have an HDTV. go have dinner and a few drinks while youre at it.
Yes keep omn throwin the kitchen sink at the net- it’ll go in soon
dunno deja… sleeping
staal, if he had a shot, would be leetch. cally is the new graves, and drury, is ehh mactavish, not messier
deja
i am here, isnt that enough? :P
well I’m going to eat, but I’ll be back in case anyone starts wondering..
wow, were gonna lose this
HOW ARE THEY BEING SO OUTHUSTLED BY A TEAM PLAYING ON BACK TO BACK NIGHTS AND 3 IN 4???!?!?
WAKE UP!
Time to order some Chinese take-out.
too much pressure tonight. we dont look like we are confident. torts has to get this team to get a good forecheck goin. habs look fresher than we do. not good. sorry steven macdonald, rangers are too nervous to dop anything good right now
Jeff S
ill have shrimp with broccoli and boneless spare ribs, small. thnx.
Think we’ve had some nice moments tonight: Staal’s rush down the ice, Avery’s shot, Cally’s shorthanded effort and shot…
But over all we’ve been outplayed. I’m hoping MTL will wear down as the game goes on, but it’s no secret the Rangers are terrible in the 3rd, so who knows…
“wow, were gonna lose this” Unreal comment.
Tighten your diaper, mike. Show some sack for once.
i tell ya this doesnt look like a team who is desperate
dubis gotta stop looking to pass
dru!!!!!!
csptain clutchhhhhhhhhhhhhh
The Captain, The Leader…
wow
theres our captain!!!!!!!!
Thank God it’s Price. Price and Halak is one of those scenarios like Lehtonen and Hedberg. We own the starter, but the backup usually gives us a hard time.
lol cccp. ur funny dude
DRUUUUUUUUUUUURY!!! That’s a huge goal for us… hopefully will bring some confidence!
i called it too!!!! so what do i win jonny??
Oh, now it’s definitely not going to ruin his Good Friday!
about time… lucky play though. Gotta play better overall.
thank god. i really wanna like dru. i do, so hopefully he gets a lot more clutch goals in the playoffs
finally we get some clutch out of Drury. way to forecheck, Cally
Doodie,
You once said you’d trade Lundqvist for Price, straight-up. No?
21st of the season for drury? damn straight. ALl those habs fans up in montreal are already rioting probably.
CAAAAAAAALLAHAN!!!!!!!!!!
Doodie, I go to sports bars sometimes but it’s too expensive for every game. Maybe I’ll win the lotto and I can get a new tv, but I guess I’d have to start playing…
DAMN THAT WAS CLOSE!
u retard doobs!
come on doob
wow that so fkin stupid….....
I love how duby just got two minutes for the same thing orr did against the pens but orr got 5. haha i love the NEW NHL! WOW!
wow, our PK is really sweet…
dru is coming alive tonight
son of a
Baaalls.
thanks doobs for the stupid penalty. now its tied
yay. we’re so amazing… Stupid play by Drury to shoot it like that. He should have kept it low and just get the faceoff..
GREAT SAVES HANK! WOW!
BEST GOALTENDER IN THE LEAGUE, RIGHT TORTS?
Sally
April 7th, 2009 at 7:39 pm
Baaalls.
———-
where? :P
doobs needs to at least be smart. were home and were takin 2 many penalties. stupid polak
caspar europe
any relations to Kaspar USA? :)
besides the goal, we have sucked hiney this period
Bush League, here we come
hehe nah, im from sweden
yea its drurys fault we have a dud goalie and a stupid player like dubinsky
avery doin his thing!!!!! just think, we couldve had voros instead!!!!!!!
The name is League, Bush League
wtf, nice pp this far
yea and the one shot hank shouldve stopped, he didnt. hes really becomin more average every game he plays.
what i like about Antro is his shot always accurate and hard… something i cant say about all other Ranger players.
If Voros were playing we would be winning by 4,000,000 goals right now.
Love him or hate him so far #16 is the only one showing some emotion.
The name is Redden, Bush League Redden
wow what a shot! but yea, we should be up 2-0. cant stan\d how they play down to their opponent
miami- redden isnt the one who took bad penalties. doobs and naslund did. redden just got called for it. redden has been fine.
THe Rangers look like the team that has played 3 games in 4 days.
LaPierre is a c-word, what a dive
I haven’t even watched the game, i’m in Belgium trying to listen in …
Nevertheless, I’m sure Redden has been his usual stellar self ….
cccp- if torts doesnt get them fired up to finish this lousy team off im gonna question his coaching ability. doobs should be benched the whole 2nd period for that satupid penalty
redden has been fine like i said. stop messin wit him because of his contract
Can’t really blame Henke on that goal, it was a lucky shot from a massive crowd of legs and sticks
blueshirt… Callahan??
wow leafs 3-0 up on maaaaaaarrrrrrrrrttttyyyyyy
Are you kidding me? Redden is (honestly) a freaking genius … that he can actually pull off the contract he got is a testament to his intellect (or agent’s) ...
satupid= stupid. ha im buzzin ok!!
easy Mike , Ya don’t bench Dubbie for a 2 min penalty…we need his grit.
Come on PP, fresh ice now
miamijohn- hey, id do the same trhing as wade ya know. you should bitch sather out for signing him. but yea, redden played fine. doobs made a dumb play, cost us the lead. cally, avery, dru, and staal are playin good. nazzy is doin alright too, wish he wasnt so soft though. only good thing is he has a shot. and that is failing him lately
“I sense a very uneasy atmosphere in the building.”
Gee Al, maybe because it’s, you know, a kinda important game? Too many meaningless Knicks games for him.
greg, im not goin easy on doofinsky ok. he needs to not take that penalty. we would lead 1-0 at the end if not for that dumb penalty
LUNDQVIST SUCKS!
The elite goaltender Gives up a bad goal to a guy or had score 3 effin goals all season!!
WTF???
Lobster he was clearly screened, lay off him
hey shoryuken, lay off al!! if we didnt have him wed have to listen to giannone!!!
got here late….
very happy to see Cally get the Extra Effort Award.
voted him for him. he deserved it!
and
based on Tortorella’s smile/wink
and comments earlier in the day about
how he thinks that Cally will score 30-35 next year
i’m thinking that he’ll be resigned…...somehow someway.
lobster y dont u go drown yourself in a toiletbowl
you know what ive noticed… every game morris gets less minutes than Redden. is Morris worse than redden? i sure dont think so…
Agravaine,
Sorry, Cally is always a given in my mind. But yes him too.
Shoruyken – lay off Lundqvist? What is he your wife?
Why do some of you guys keep making excuses for Lundqvist. You say that he was screened? Most goals nowadays come off screens. Come on B, he’s gotta make that save!!
Can I ask a question I’ve been wondering for a long time….do N.H.L. players get paid for playing in the playoffs? If not, it explains the slow gradual decline of our team until we are hanging onto a playoff spot ahead of the powerful Panthers…geez!
Drury scored? OMG…
honestly, its hard to see rangers winning this game, i never get a grip in how they will play..their offence is so soft!
cmon naz score u bum
hey RICK!
2 quick things.
1) watched the live chat. nice job by you and Jane.
makes me wonder if Sather will stick around because his ego will want him to clean up this current mess. maybe he’ll get rid of some and add others who can play more to Tortorella’s style.
2) news not very good in regards to golden Golden Retriever
Sugaree Blue Ranger. local vets and then a second opinion by the ones at Ohio State University gave same diagnosis—tumor on his heart
and a big question mark as to how long he’ll be around (days? weeks? a couple months?) he’s his regular energetic lovable self right now but that could change as quickly as a Ranger lead. it’s tough how deep Man’s Best Friend can burrow into heart…
lobster y dont u go drown yourself in a toiletbowl
Mike, that was pretty cute. I can’t wait to read your next bit of witty insight.
GOAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
woo hoo!!!
wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dear God please let it count!!!!
Antro!!!
ANTRO!!!!!!!!!!
Great shot by Drury
dumb penalty by Dumb- insky
hitting is great but open your eyes.
Avery had a good period.
But except for a few good times, they looked disorganized, will someone step up ,please?
Oh yeah!!!!!!!!!! So good!
GOD is a ranger fan!!!!!
goal of the year haha, thats a sweet dive! hehe
way to go BamBam!!!!
that’s called CRASHING THE NET!
(hey. i’m still majorly bummed about my dog but i can still celebrate a goal!!)
HES BIG AND STRONG… HIS REACH IS SOOOO LONG!
guess who that is?
Well that’s another use for size…if he was 1 inch smaller he misses that. lol
thanks deb kaufman for the update!! i hate u!!
FLyers throwing the game…
j/k…. or am I
damn, florida scored
dru is bein a captain finally
CCCP! ROFL! How did I miss that?! Antro is HUGE!
we better resign android and dump dubinsky
Morris with a perfect pass to THEIR point. Cmon guys. every pass has to be thought about
aggie- the pansies are fighting for their p=layoff lives. flowers arent
really where is everyone??
SCORE REDDEN SCORE!
haha… yea right caspar
lol I thought the banner ad said ‘beacon theater: a new york legend Redden’
Staal?!?
thank you Cally
dru!!!!!!!!
“alright joey, finish the story” lol Sam is gettin tired of Joe..lol
Beautiful!
CAP’N Dru now
whoa!!
Drury times 2
CHRIS EFFING DRURY
MY CAPTAIN CLUTCH
he might not be yours but hes mine!!!!
and Dru
Mmmmm…delicious Chinese takeout…
I got your order, CCCP, but unless you’re coming to pick it up it looks as though it will just have to be tomorrow’s lunch.
wow lets go boyssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
WOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
look,
love him or hate him…
Avery is the opposite of every player who comes to NY in any sport and does nothing for big $
when did we sighn chris dury? lol
L.G.R!
if ever there was a clutch game for dru to score, this was it!!!
Chris… no that would be Cally
people think that drury is going to be clutch all the time normal every day games arent the big times even if we think they are end of the season and playoffs is when he comes alive
ugh…. that really sucks
D’oh!
jpg,
Sorry to hear about your Golden. Those are sweet dogs…
that’s it!
take the award back!
cmon cally!!! wtf?
You guys going to throw Cally under the bus now too?
Let’s go Flyers!
i was at the game when drury scored with 7.7 seconds left in the playoffs. i will always respect the way he plays. He might not be a 50 goal scorer he might not make big game guarantees but hes not as bad as everyone wants to believe.
I do beleive jpg was kidding
thanks Jane.
Chris,
the reason Avery doesn’t make big money is because he screwed up big time. He doesn’t play for less by choice.
Nice try though.
Yes. I’m good luck. They tied it up
jane- you did a wonderful job in the livechat!! very smooth and muy caliente!!!
we need at least one more goal right now… cuz u know, third period is coming!
Jeff, everyone knows that Lundqvist, Dubinsky and Callahan are obviously the worst guys on the team.
This is getting weird now.
Drury, twice?
did the Canadians bring the Montreal rules
with them??
i’ve seen not called already holding of the stick, holding the jersey, trip on Avery at beginning of the game…
there’s the idea of letting the players decide, but this is a joke.
finally!! a call
this is ranger hockey at its best here guys if they play lkike this they ar un beatable
i must say i like that redden is shooting this much, its better than when he actually keeps the puck?
Now, the question is are the Rangers actually playing real hockey because the Habs are tired and without Markhov and Schnieder or are they turning the corner…
very solid period. great effort boyos!!!
wow what great puck possession passes were getting through they kept the puck in…who are these guys
yes, i was kidding about taking the award back.
can’t help my sarcasm at times…....in my genetic code.
its the Avery rules
FLA 1 FLY 1
I think i misstated
I was trying to say he for some reason cant get it done anywhere else but he gets it done here.
the Habs are tiring from last night, and the Rangers are really turning up the heat now.
great effort this period
davymax- this is the rangers with their captain actually playing his ass off and leading this team!!
Agravaine,
Do you have some sort of script that whenever someone mentions Avery you counter with Cally? ;)
now our pp wil be unable to set up…
WOOOOOO! Go Philly!
FLYERS!!!!!!!!!!
blueshirt,
cally
oh whoops I mean… no…
I could have answered with Betts or Sjo but they get blasted on here at times so I went with the popular answer
I hope so Mike. I’ve always been a Drury fan. Just wish he were better throughout the season.
when drury scored i jizzed in my pants
why is that not another call?!?
BamBam pulled down
best pp in forever…
good save
That’s two big one-timers by Redden on that PP. That’s 3 more than he’s had all season. That’s right, 3; he gets -1 for all of those [limp]wristers he telegraphs.
battery dead… LGR!!! night all
go rangers!!!!!!!! keep up the pressure in the 3rd!!!!
if Montreal is tired. who cares?
that’s the hand that’s been dealt and
they’ve got to deal with and we’ve got
to make sure that we don’t give ‘em an
openings in the 3rd period.
THE THIRD PERIOD AWAITS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i really wish sam the great was with us for this win he has stuck with us and this blog through the tough times
people think that drury is going to be clutch all the time normal every day games arent the big times even if we think they are end of the season and playoffs is when he comes alive
.........
honestly, this is BS.
Drury has shown that he is a DUD this season.
no matter what Drury does tonight, the rest of the season, it’s too little too late.
I will give him credit though he looks real good tonight.
I still would love to see the stripped of the C, and ultimately gone… we never should have gotten him. This isn’t the first “big game” of the season by any means…. cmon.
Oooo it’s Antropov! He’s sooooooo BIG.
I heard Antro is 9’13” and 300 lbs.
crunch time. they have been awful in the 3rd periods lately. will they this time give the big effort or will they hang back and watch again?
i keep laughing everytime i see antros goal, love his DIVE———-))
Not sure if they showed it on TV but the team pretty much got a standing O at the end of the second. How about that diving goal from Antropov, looks like the knee is better, either that or he’s feeling no pain…
rumor is antro is bigger then shaq?
Great period. Price SUCKS, Habs are going nowhere, treat them like the losers they are !!!
20 more minutes, and we live for another day.
Go Rangers, Go Hawks, Go Blues !!
And finally Drury is stepping up, and scoring some goals, hopefully he can show up again, instead of disappearing for another ten games.
Finish them off !!!
Sally April 7th, 2009 at 8:43 pm
I heard Antro is 9’13” and 300 lbs.
Shaq plays hockey?
No lead is safe against the Canadiens, remember?
antropov has this kind of cat-like “i-dont-care-about-shit”-attitude about him that i kind of like. reminiscent of early day fedorov. except for the skill.
hey, ya know what, ive been one of the biggest drury bashers on here, but hes playin like a captain should be. i applaud him tonight. but he neeeds to `do this evry night and into the playoffs if we get there. but cally has been the catalyst for those goals. i hope dru can live up to expectations. i like the guy. he just needs to bring it like this everynight and not when our backs are against the wall.
We should sign the biggest fattest person we can find to play goalie. He’ll be so big that his fatness will take up the entire net and shots won’t go in because his fat will absorb them. Then again….Lucky Lou and the Devil Crew might sue us for taking their idea.
Fatso!
good call onecup. we need to finish them off
caspar europe April 7th, 2009 at 8:43 pm
i keep laughing everytime i see antros goal, love his DIVE———-))
I heard he learned how to dive like that from Crosby.
Jeez, i just noticed that wicked balding on Carp. I heard balding comes from the motha.
You should do what Gomer does, just shave your head.
Didn’t the Isles try a Sumo wrestler in goal as a goof once, to test that theory?
i hope dru can live up to expectations.
......
Honestly, how can you SAY this?
He already HAS NOT lived up to even reasonable expectations in his 2 seasons here. He sucks, he’s lucky we have Redden to take the focus off him. That is the truth.
salty – there have been big games but they havent been do or die that game in boston was huge but it wasnt do or die we still had 2 points on florida now that they are tied its time for him to come alive.
he isnt a dud people just have so much expectation because of his contract size hes a 25 goal scorer and an excellent defensive player…and you notice him more when he makes mistakes because of his contract size…you people think that messier was never on for a goal against come on
matt k- i just had an epiphany. we wont win the cup this year. wahhhhhhhhh
Drury scores two goals….blind squirrel – nut reference.
They better not blow it. THEY BETTER NOT BLOW IT!!!
Excellent defensive player? Drury? Not this year. Not even close.
I GOT A BELLY-BUTTON! :)
Remember when scoring 3 goals in a game was unheard of?
No lead is safe so the Rangers have to bring the pain. However, if I recall the meltdowns against Montreal and Toronto were in their buildings.
No commercials, NO MERCY!!!!!!!!!
LETS GO!!!
yea salty, listen to deja, she knows more about hockey than you!!!
Carp you look like your blushing sitting next to Lady Jane
ohhh antro!!!
Actually Drury is playing exactly how we signed him. His whole career he put up 50-60-70 point seasons in that area. Yeah this year was a let down for him, but last year was an average year for him. Same with Gomez, he’s a 60 point player. Jagr was good for about 80-90 points himself which is probably why your pissed right?
such a cheap shot on avery watch that again
whats with the subway ad? lol
WILL PLAY FOR CHICKEN McNUGGETS!!!
ok Iv only caught the last 10min of the 2nd to now so far..
is that subway thing on the glass? and is that legal?
did anyone notice the big subway signs behid the nets on the glass? is it just me or is that nuts i have never seen this before
If the Rangers play like this every game, we’re hard to beat. We’re just so inconsistent though.
jcalz88 April 7th, 2009 at 8:58 pm
did anyone notice the big subway signs behid the nets on the glass? is it just me or is that nuts i have never seen this before
Nop it’s new.
I suddenly want a $5 foot long… dunno why though
Those Subway ads are really annoying. This looks like a Versus telecast.
Yeah how did I not notice that Subway sign in the first two periods? WTF?
sally i dont htink they were there in the first two
guys i know why its there the rangers really started to play hockey so subway figured why not jump in and get some advertising haaaa
anyone else having trouble with the telecast.
keeps freezing up here on Center Ice.
did maaaarty put those subway stickers up there, since he dont stop pucks against Toronto..
Guys,
Wikipedia has Nik Antropov at 9’6”, 330lbs.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nik_Antropov
Don’t that “subway” sign obstruct the view??
is that a graphic or actually on the glass?!
Caspar, if it were Maaaarty I think he would have preferred Dunkin Donuts ads…
TSN
A game has to be “do or die” for Drury to even show up?
just stop. the guy is a 2nd/3rd line player at best.
if he was a real leader, we probably wouldn’t EVER be in “do or die” situations.
So easy to defend Drury when he scores a couple of goals. Come off it. He is the biggest waste of money, 2nd only to Redden who should hardly be in the NHL.
what was that?
3 slashes from Kovy on Drury
no call
What the hell was that! The ref was right there.
WOW Bad call ref the puck was loose u foo!!!!
Oops, my cat stepped on the keyboard… What I meant to write was:
TSN, you are awesome.
antro has two jobs the hokcey player and avery bod guard haaa
TSN Has A Crosboner
did u just edited wiki urself? lol NHL has him at 6’6 230
man, the bounces are not going in this period. they are playing good, but just missing more goals
Lucky Two-fingers = Prucha
(who gets it?)
salty- please man, just shut up and enjoy it. were getting what we have asked from dru ok. why bitch about anything now”?
Wow, Broduer is fat..He’s OVER 9000! lbs
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_Brodeur
The subway signs look like digital ads, dont move when boards shakes
typical canadian hockey, and by canadian hockey i mean the refs wont call penalties on them no matter how obvious
Salty April 7th, 2009 at 9:06 pm
Lucky Two-fingers = Prucha
Dumb Luck = Redden
and was no cheap at all…sure
and that*
Yes the flyers scored!!!!
how come MSG is looks so damn dark in some games and more lighten up like today?well well, sometimes msg just looks so friggin dark, put some lights up in the roof!?
OMG Matt:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_Brodeur
Damn I laughed so hard beer came out of my nose. This has to stop!
Philly scored!!!
FLOWERS SCORED! 2-1
flyers are losing!!!!
carter!!!!!!
Pretty sure the Subway thing is a digital ad. On one of the replays from the end zone it did not appear. IT IS ANNOYING AS HELL! Doesn’t Dolan make enough money already? Jeziz…
panthers i mean sorry typo in my excitement
was Rozi sleeping on the bench just now?
I had to change it back >.< F’n wikipedia has it out for me
8-0 Carolina over NYI!
yea, islanders have a wopping 10 shots on net. Even if every one of their shots went in they’d only be up by 2.
wow thnk u crossbar!!
wtf dont start slacking!
hey salt at what point did i say he was more than a 2/3 line player thats exactly the point i was making that everyone THINKS hes a TOP line guy but hes not but hes not as bad as you think he is
Nice Davymax.
Looked like Rozi re-hurt the (left) lower (knee) body. I’ll ask after the game…
and i was trying to explain that whenever he doesn’t score in a game people throw out where is the clutch goal scorer we are supposed to have and every day situations aren’t “clutch”.
what do you have to say about the rest of the team when this guy you say is a dud is one of the top goal scorers on the team.
I love when you hear that little bit of surprise in Sam’s voice when he says the Rangers are doing something well.
lol is naslund soft, he must have granny-arms…he is just flipping the puck when he “shoots”
5 min. left in the flyers game….
tomthumb- but dont u really crave a bmt????
Make that 9 goals for carolina. I hope they get ten so that they can have the same amount of goals as the other team has shots. I wonder if that has ever happened before
2:30 left in Philly
i got ya back deja. i’ll smack tha fool upside the head that mess wit u
Dubinsky draws another penalty. Yea he really sucks.
So I don’t mean to get ahead of everything here… but after tonight Montreal has games against the Pens and Boston. Anyone think 7th is still a possibility?
Mike…I’m not even sure what a BMT is, but I’ll pass.
Florida only 4 shots in the 3rd period…1:40 left…
How would Buffalo be out. They could win out and the Rangers lose out and then Buffalo would win because they have the season series tie-break.. I don’t get it.
doobs y cant u score”???
Buy More Tickets?
salty- please man, just shut up and enjoy it. were getting what we have asked from dru ok. why bitch about anything now”?
..........
Because I know better. I know the difference between a player having a good night and “being good”.
And I know here come all the absolute clowns saying “SEE DRURY IS CLUTCH!! YAY!!” are on their way, and anyone with a brain knows better, 2 season into this nightmare contract.
That’s why. We’re still clawing for a spot BECAUSE Drury & Co have been useless as tits on a bull all year.
Love the chant!
Mike, why do you hate Dubinsky so much?
flyers win!!!!!
Flyers win!
I posted this afternoon that the Rangers would win 3-1. and that the flyers would beat Fla
not bad predicting, eh?
NICE!
thank u cAPTAIN!!!!
its so hard to be a fan and like someone on this team lately
whathappened?
stupid director shows people sitting on the bench than
the possible scrum!
Good Job Flyers. Now suck against us.
PLAYOFFS GOOD CALL! I SEEN THAT.
now a win on Thurs over the flyers would clinch a playoff spot
what was tonights code for the buleshirts off our back btw? I was in class still
code was “let’s go rangers” I think
and yes i’m a clown who knows nothing who doesnt watch every game and who doesn’t watch most isles and devils game. it most be so hard for you to not be able to sit there and bitch tonight
salty- like patrick swayze said in roadhouse” youre too stupid to have a good time”
interesting…..
1) no shot of the team coming into the locker room
2) the Extra Effort Award given tonight rather than last home game, which is what happened last season.
3) AND WE HAD A GOOD THIRD PERIOD, BABY!!!!
(miss ya JD. come be our GM)
thanks davymax
hopefully one of us here wins it
YAAAY CAPTAIN!! THANK U
mike in iowa
You are the worst. Weather vane deluxe. Whichever way the wind is blowing. Go far far away.
Reading your posts is like listening to my grandmother worrying about her regularity on the throne. You have nothing of value to contribute.
doodie
For you to jump on HL after a scramble goal that banked in off the post shows what you know. Bupkis. All sizzle, no steak.
good stuff deja. if u can honestly bitch about a game we needed to win, with our cAPTAIN LEADING THE WAY, THEN U NEED TO SEEK HELP. I DONT THINK DRU IS EARNING HIS CONTRACT, BUT THE GUY GOT US A WIN WHEN WE REALLY NEEDED IT. SO Y BITCH MAN? CMON SALTY, IVE TALKED TO U BEFORE. UR A RANGERFAN WHO LIKE THE REST OF US, TAKES IT WHEN WE CAN. HE DID GOOD TONIGHT. SO JUST BE HAPPY DUDE.
as Steven McDonald said, “no freakin’ way” are they going to miss the playoffs.
Dear Jane –
I love the Rangers.
You’re cute, will you marry me? No offense Carp, she is much better looking ;)
RIGUERE- SO DONT READ MY POSTS MAN.
Just one win for us, or one regulation loss for the panthers and we’re in!
Great clutch win by NY,
they stayed out of the box and played disciplined hockey.
WTF,WTF,WTF.. why are we subjected to those subway ads?
I wish the fans would buy them and toss em on the ice or have a food fight in the stands, garbage food
and yes i’m a clown who knows nothing who doesnt watch every game and who doesn’t watch most isles and devils game. it most be so hard for you to not be able to sit there and bitch tonight
.....
If you still find Drury to be “clutch”, “a leader”, and/or “worth the $7M cap hit”... after “watching” the last 2 seasons… you are more than just a clown. I will bite my tonuge though for tonight because it was indeed a good win and Drury did pull a great game out of his ass.
The guy should be more ashamed than Jagr though, the sharp, cognizant fans here know why.
oh riguere, one more thing, if u are so tightwrapped around the rangers that you have stopped enjoying when they win, just jump off a cliff ok. seriously riguere, whatever dude, have a bad night ok. be sad that our captain who actually came thru for once got is a win.
I agree about the Subway ads. they were annoying and distracting. will Dolan stop at nothing to squeeze a few more dollars at the expense of the fans?
BUT THE GUY GOT US A WIN WHEN WE REALLY NEEDED IT.
........
Antropov = GWG
Will all the idiots who think the goal Lundqvist allowed tonight was his “fault,” please raise your hands and go sit in the corner with a dunce cap.
salty- then shut up if youre happy tonight!!! why are u bringin up stuff that means absolutely nothing!???? ytes we all know drury is overpaid. i wish he scored more and played like this more often, but seriously, how could u even be mad? he did what we all wished he would do. lifes short man, take it easy cheesy
michelle in iowa
Five minutes into this game, you wet your pants and posted that the Rangers would lose. I have a feeling I am enjoying this win far more than you are, puss.
I know why Drury and dubinsky have had bad years ,make a fist and put it on your nose ,you can’t see squat much less a puck with a huge schnoz like they have.
salty for real bro i never said he was worth the money quite the contrary bro. Hes a guy i want on my team but I do believe the price they paid for him was too much. I think he is a leader just not a vocal one. Ive stated before that I don’t think this team has the right personal all the way around to be a great team. I think that’s part of the reason we are fighting for a playoff spot you cant blame it all on Drury. Cause if you want to have it that way every time we win you should give all the praise to Drury.
Salty you don’t have to score 50 goals to be a leader…mike eruzione.
ok lets all be melodramatic and whine and moan about the win. ok. yea dru sucked. lets cry about it
Captain Clutch is alive!
“as a captain, do you feel an extra sense of responsibility this time of year?”
“Not really.”
fck this guy.
riguere, be mature ok, if u really want to get a point across you dont do it by namecalling. u actually have a point. now all im saying is be happy that we won. it doesnt mean im a drury fan. he just played real good tonight
Give credit where credit is due, but for the most part ,a lot of guys didn’t earn their money this year, they had more off nights than on.
nit pick nit pick nit pick bitch bitch bitch moan
sorry to carps neice and nephew perkins
canes outshot isles 57-12!!!!
damn shoryuken!!!! canes will be tough to face in the playoffs! great win tonight. finally drury won us a game. now, lets win again against philly!!
deb placey is hot
“deb placey is hot”
thanks shoryuken for putting it all back into perspective lol
wheres bob? we need a fire the hyena chant!!
Salty, no-one in this league except for a few guys “deserve” what they’re paid. All sport contracts are highly inflated. Drury is a team player, not a showboating superstar. Take him for what he is. Oh yea, he’s also a winner and a BIG-time playoff player. As far as I’m concerned, his real season is just beginning.
Mike in iowa
Mature?? You told me to jump off a cliff. Here’s why I know more than you and why you should not post here until and unless you grow a pair.
Because I called this one before the puck dropped. You were messing your pants ten minutes into it.
“Riguere
April 7th, 2009 at 6:36 pm
The Rangers will win tonight in regulation. A win like the one last week over NJ. And everyone will wildly swing once again on the pendulum.”
deja i had a feeling shoryuken would say that and “put it all into perspective” lol. this guy man! lol
riguere, you da man!!!
Nice to see zherdev on the 3rd line where he belongs.
Talk about someone with all the talent and no heart or toughness.
deja
just trying to lighten up the place, all these fights haha
come on we won!
riguere since u put it that way, i cannot argue with you. but i will say this: u called it so u deserve some props. never had a prob wit u, so lets just leave it as is, you the man ok.
were ranger fans ok riguere! lets just be happy we won. thats all im sayin. lol shoryukemn u crazy man!
Peace and love, mike in iowa.
Now hang in there ALL 60 MINUTES on Thursday vs. the Flyers, OK?
peace in rangerland haha
for 48 hours anyway
I agree with Salty… so what Drury had a big game tonight where has he been all season, I don’t think he is a good leader at all. Callahan made those 2 plays for both of his goals. People always talk bad about Jagr but Jagr would never say dumb things like Drury says in his post game interviews.
RIGUERE- AT LEAST GIVE ME UR ADDRESS IF UR GONNA BE A WISEASS
Ode to Wade Redden
(to the tune of Lord of the Dance)
Wade, Wade wherever you may be
$39 mil’s a lot for crappy D
You can’t hit
You can’t score goals
Wade Redden you’re a friggin a-hole
This was a crucial win for the Rangers and I thought Drury, Cally, and Avery played especially well for us (It’s about time Drury showed up).
I loved Antro’s play tonight too, his diving effort on his goal is the type of effort that all the Rangers should have game in and game out.
EXAMINER- RANGERS D PLAYED GREAT TONIGHT TOO
mike in ia
No wiseassing here—- I meant what I said.
Antro’s goal was pure suicide, diving right into everyone’s skates. Loved it, shows he isnt soft after all
Kevin, who would you rather pay 7 mil to? A guy who puts up 100 points in the reg season and craps out in the playoffs, or a guy who puts up 60-70 or so in the reg season, but gives you a big-time 15-20 playoff points?
COWARD
whats your name riguere?
Why isnt anyone happy here?
Thought I accidentally hit the Islanders blog….
Jeez
Someone tell the Canes they’re in already….ease up
Its riguere….no last name….like Prince
hey kaspar i tried havin a good time but some people here like bitching like little girls with their pereiod
They Rangers will make the playoffs….then proceed to rip off an amazing run to the Cup Finals, and then beat San Jose in 5 games….
Then we all can come to this blog and remind each other how much we love Drury, Gomer, Naslund, Redden, Rozy….
lol
riguere…In mike in iowa’s defense, and any Rangers fan who has doubts over the course of a period of hockey, a game, a season, or playoffs, this is only normal due to years of torment and pain watching this team.
mike is true blue all the way, but sometimes as a Rangers fan, you think for the worse will happen so you are not too let down like always, but you are obviously hoping for the best
I think I actually speak for mostly every one here
carey priceless liquid
and im happy.
im ecstatic, we can clinch on thursday after being worried sick about it for a couple days
hey liquid- i take it as it comes. they have a good game, i am happy. i dont hold grudges on players. but youre right. im njust happy they got the win. i was tryin to be cool to riguere and he had to be a smartass. all i said was lets be happy tonight we won a big game.
I think were all just a little on edge right now lol
Has no one realized that if we win Thursday, we’re in!
but i had plenty of great convos with riguere. him and salty both. i am not tryin to be a dick.
deja, yea my nerves are shot!!!
jason- im happy, but i dont wanna get my hopes up quite yet. you know the rangers. but yea, im lovin the win tonight. captain dru fianlly came thru
mike in iowa
What’s the issue? I wrote you peace and love after your conciliatory post @ 10:14, but it clearly did not take effect.
So let me lay it out as plainly as I can: I heard you and I accept your offer to lay down weaponry. All I ask is that you not panic in the first six minutes of a 0-0 game on Thursday against PHI as you did tonight against MTL.
If that is too much to ask, fine. But that is all I am saying.
I am so happy right now. I have not been this happy since the times when I used to fart w/o messing up my pants. Eh, good old times… (:
LIQUID
and don’t forget that Redden will score the Cup clinching goal in double overtime in game 5! And Mark Messiers Legacy will be wiped off!
Lots of post-game on the next post for all the happy yet realistically pessimistic fans here… if I’m reading you right :)
HUUUUGE win tonight.
I would LOVE if everyone here could scroll up and read through the posts.
Seriously shows how fickle 85% of the fans are on this board, and I like to think the fans here are more intelligent that most Rangers fans
In one single, well played, Rangers VICTORY, people have:
Made Drury out to be a savior because of 1 game
Thrown Dubi under the bus for taking a TWO MINUTE minor
Called Lundqvist a hack and suggested trading him
Saying Redden’s 14mph shots on goal are an improvement
Almost getting upset at Callahan for one play
Seriously, stop being such fairweather fans. Its one thing to demand a certain level of play from your big guns. Its another to turn into Red Sox fans. Get a hold of yourselves and act like youve been a New York fan for more than a month you hacks.
Is it safe?
