Game time thread

- November
- 7
I’ve got nuthin’ but frozen fingers… just finished my second of three football games. So I have no idea what happened today, if anything. No idea what you guys have been talking about. No idea about anything except where the heat button is on my dashboard as I attempt to get this post up for your game-time pleasure before trudging back out to the frozen tundra (or artificial tundra).
Have fun and be careful. And behave. I’ll check in around 10 or so, so please let me know what the score is around then.
—————-EVENING UPDATE—————-
Laurel here! Hey Staal and all, slow here so far for late Saturday game. Understood. Until Carp gets back, respect MAKO as the substitute bloguncle, as assigned by me….LGR! and have fun.

Late game tonight
I think I have enough beer though.
I got a whole case of Pabst, hopefully that lasts me…
I got a good feeling about tonight. I know you all think we’ll get walloped though.
Islanders are beating the Thrashers pretty easily 3 – 1.
CALGARY they will play tough, but if they give the Rangers any time and room, like Edmonton did the Rangers will be hard to beat.
The score will be 0-0 at 10pm since it wont have started yet….LOL
No, I think because it’s a game involving Avery on Hockey Night in Canada, the Rangers have to start the game 1-0 down. League rules.
Repost- And with the first overall pick the Carolina Hurricanes select… Ward just got his knee slashed by Nash’s skate.
blogfather offered some good advice. Behave!! Bets on who wins…LGR!
pfft 5 – 2 Islanders.
I dont know if I wanna call the game LOL last time I called Rangers win 6 – 2 against Vancouver they lost 4 – 1 :(
Yes MAKO, don’t call it. Please.
Watching Leafs-Wings right now. 3-0 Leafs less than halfway through the game! Colton Orr got his first point of the year in the first period.
behave? that’s good advice? How about:
Don’t skate through the neutral zone with you head down.
Don’t screen the goalie. Redden.
Don’t be a spectator out there Drury, EVER.
Don’t watch hockey on Saturday night with only two beers in the fridge.
Laurel
I’ve been meaning to send you a picture of one of my dogs, but Im not good with technology.
Here is a pic from 5 years ago probably when she was only 2 years old.

LGR!!
I bet the game doesn’t even start at 10pm. the TOR-DET game still has 5 mins left in the second period.
With Toronto smoking the Red Wings on HNIC, they will hold up the Calgary game I’m guessing.
Laurel- behave isn’ t going to happen. And you know it.
Carp- I didn’t know you played football.
Well, kidding, I know you are covering it. But three games in a row? You deserve Pulitzer just for covering one. I saw one game live. Couldn’t tell the ball from someone’s tuhes. Especially 20+ in the same area.
Tomb- and don’t waste a single second on the ice given by Torts. If your seconds are sloppy, you’re playing on the fourth line.
LGR.
Ilb – that’s hillarious. No sloppy seconds with Torts, how appropriate.
I don’t mind west coast games if they’re on Saturday nights. I’ll be fired up here by game time.
I think Calgary will try the same forecheck that has been successful against us so far this season. I think this team is growing and improving gradually.
Tonight however, I think we will handle the forecheck better, with our young defense. R&R is always a crap shoot though, literally. I predict a Rangers victory though.
Since most Rangers fans are about to go to sleep, I will do my part to keep the post count up for the Reporting team.
Go Rangers! I’ve been waiting for this game all day today, less than an hour (hopefully).
CR9..outstanding! What a great pooch! Can’t download from the link here, (though you heads should check it out…Staal and all…) CR9, maybe send to my work e-mail…lbabcock@lohud.com.
Ok heads, LGR, see ya tomorrow. Seriously CCCP…gone. Have a great night, hope we win, but I’ve gotta get sleep for Bruce tomorrow! Last NY stand with The River!
Shalom!
No way! Saturday night doesnt matter if the game was on at 2am!!! LETS GO RANGERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
tomb, go for it! and keep us posted. hey, sorry, I’m Greg. ZZZZZZZZ. Got a big night tomorrow!
MAKO, I’m gone and Carp’s working….dare I give you the keys to the castle again?
No special beverages for me tonight so no worries there ;) That’s up to you blogmother. It will be a honor & privilege again if you need to keep the fellas & ladies in check cough cough coat check ;)
Ha! Coat check….and Cup does another kick save on the treats!
Staal and all. Until Carp or I get back, MAKO is hereby bequeathed in charge…..use your power well son, or you shall feel the force against you….Carp, OK? Let’s see how he does….MAKO, blogmama and Stanley are watching….it’s go time!
I will use the force wisely… Young Jedi master =P Thank you
You’re official MAKO…see updated post…
MAKO, you called me young….good start :).....See youse later as the blogfather says…
what, has there been some bad/dirty/language or something im missing lately with the behavior? or was it the “ethnic” talk? idk what was so bad about it. nobdy was calling names.
Thank you again Laurel.
I just re-read the top. MAKO – congrats on the promotion. remember to behave. ah ha ha ha
Drop your purse, Honey, it’s Go Time!
Leafs-Wings has finished in good time (5-1 in the end), giving CBC a whole nine minutes to tut and shake their collective head at the existence of Sean Avery.
I hate Keenan! Almost as much as Sather. Almost as much as Dolan!
WHENS PUDDIN’??
LETS GO RANGERS!!!!!!!!!!
LOL thank you tomb
MAKO- Kudos on becoming the new carbuncle. I voted for ya- 3 times…
PUDDIN’ Is back in the crisper uhhh next to the celery LOL
Is it me or is Phaneuf’s skull crooked?
I can lift 100 lbs clear over my head LOL Thank you Izzy!
freakin hockey streams killin me already
I think Joe will be in rare form tonight….
has the game evenstarted yet??
not yet Linda :(
i got the HNIC crew again….damnit missin dumb and dumber again tonight! keep me posted on the quips
so is Brashear playing or no? i really wonder who would step up in a fight for the rangers… sad to say that Byers would be the one id have most confidence in, considering he’s played 2 games so far…
Linda -Hockey streams only has 82 users. Its working great for me. when I ever have trouble I just restart the stream and get a different server. Hope you get it worked out before the puck drops.
Kevin Weekes is doing the game on HNIC. Will he be bitter towards Vally (and Hank before that) for stealing his old job?
LET’S GO RANGERS!
Kevin Weekes is a great commentator… he seems very natural at it
when it finally came up, it’s a great feed tonight tomb
phaneufus = cabbage face
so.. how long till Phaneuf bulldozers Avery?
GO RANGERSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS Gametime is …now!!!
ok, since the when will higgins score pool is over, the new pool is WHEN DOES BRASTRAP PLAY NEXT?
Dawes with hat-trick
the best thing about phanuefus’s face is he doesnt need a mask at halloween
uuhhh oohhh
OH NO, who’s gonna shine the clutchmobile??
Concussion…
that didnt look good
Linda
Until his booboo on his wrist/hand is healed. According to Torts until he’s 100% healthy…
See now this is why they need someone in the line-up like Brashear or a Brashear type since he hasnt done his job yet.
Great. No HD. On MSG plus (more like minus). Channel 72 on cablevision in north jersey.
Im praying that Dion dosent run Gabby….
Redden still hasn’t learnt how to make a breakout pass?
It looks like Captain Clutch needed crutches to get off the ice. It doesn’t look good.
what happened to hank?
brastrap’s as fragile as 87 year old hips DiPietro
OH MAN! Higgy almost scored again!
Higgins should have buried that one.
Speaking of goalies, no Hank. He vaguely tells MSG he has a little problem. Good luck Vally, hope you’re ready to go.
Hank a little sore upper body I think. He’d be in if it were playoffs. Just gettin some time off. Man Higgins almost with a goal.
I think LQ has a sore thigh…
aaaaaaaaaaaaaargh!!!!!!!!
Weekes sure is a natural. As the Captain was being led off the ice, Weekes gave the obligatory “He’s a player that does all the little things” speech…
oh no!
And so it begins!
1-0 Calgary. This isn’t looking good…
Ugh…..
We are in trouble. This is a game we need hank against Kippersoff.
Is it said that not 1 true ranger fan cringed or gave a second thought to Drury getting hurt
i think it’s mandatory that they all say that about him LW. someone PLEASE put down the clutchaid…..
motherfiretrucker!!!!!!!!!!!!
Looks like it’s going to be a long night
soft goal. redirection or not, Vally should have stopped that
1 in…how many more to go?
Chris, did you mean SAD, or was said correct?
drury gets laid out with a cheap shot and not one but two refs miss it, what a joke.
yup linda, little typo
This won’t upset Drury’s Remembrance Day will it?
gregm-section_403, Cablevision NJ here too, you don’t get channel 717?
it IS HNIC tomb, ya gotta expect it
Can the rangers get a set and start running people in a calgary uniform, please.
Hank’ll be in if need be… If Vally keeps letting in soft goals Torts said Hank’ll play, nicer than that of course…
Chris
Easy … its a long night and they are matching the flames energy. They arent getting outplayed.
As much as I cant stand him… I wouldnt ever want to see a player of ours seriously hurt.
this is exactly the game we pay Bro-shmir to be in… to go after their best player and blindside him into the next year… so far Bro-shmir has been a bust
just wanted to make sure Chris, thanks for the clarification
ok, someone needs to start takin the body
mako I didnt say I wanted him hurt. I just feel most were like me and didnt even react
sorry, tomg, i keep callin you tomb
CCCP, he’s played what, 6 games?
CCCP, Bro-shmir? Isn’t that a character from Lord of the Rings?
Chris
I know…I think we all said it in our heads but didnt want to be the first person to say it LOL
MAKO,,,,blogmama/yoda says yes, is doing good job, son..:) y’all enjoy, see youse tomorrow. pray, as bloguncle says, is early. Me now go watch and then Greg….ZZZZZ
is it 6? im not sure… but he isnt playing when he’s needed
When Drury was face down on the ice, I thought he was looking to see if there were any perch under the ice.
well, Orr’s helmet messed up his wrist i guess!
any word on druboto yet?
I’d like to watch these hockey matches with just the crowd and player noises, no announcers.
im going to get “Maker’s Mark” whisky bottle… long night it is going to be
My guess is drury has a concussion.
wow that viagra commercial was odd! canadian commercials sure are interesting
MSG people need to put a pop filer on Maloney’s microphone.
YETI SIGHTING!!!!!!!!!!! monsterquest on the scene!~
if sather gets any bigger, they’re gonna put ropes on him and parade him down the avenue for Thanksgiving Day parade
Man how I would love to see Avery get a goal right now….
that would be freakin fantastic Mako! i’d do my avery dance
y r they booing Avery? did the entire Calgary crowd sleep with cuthbert too?
one of the best goalie coaches in the world, yet hank is still weak high on the glove side…hmmmmmmmm
are you guys seeing this Korean Exotic Gameplay thingie at the top of the page??
CCCP, you might be the only one who HASN’T slept with her
At least Sather has had 30+ years to put weight on. Did you see Brett Hull earlier? Now built like a tank. A flabby tank.
LMAO CCCP – perhaps ;)
Linda
How does that go exactly? ;)
evitageN
is bro-shmir a character from LOTR? lol i have no idea…
Rangers starting to get into the game. I think they are realizing that they can’t rely on the goalie to save their collective asses tonight.
how does what go Mako, the korean thing?
big flabby toe hull eh?
Linda
i wouldnt screw her even with Avery’s… uumm… she’s just not my type :)
lmao evitageN!! thats pretty close!
her nicknames Holland anyway, as in Tunnel
LOL Linda – the Avery dance =P
CCCP, sorry it’s Boromir, SCORE! YEAH BOI!
DANNNNNY BOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
GOAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!
GOOALLLLLL!!!
We got it back on the same type of long shot. 1-1.
Danny G!!!!!!!!!!!
Girardi throws out a guided missile. Tied up.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOBIAN!!!
Tack up another assist for prospal and gaborik
Great late goal…. Good pressure & forecheck….
ooooops Mako,lmao! i’ve only done it in Nashville. I am hoping he scores in Atlanta. It could be special for each goal, all I know is I thank God my fiancee is big and full of muscles so noone messes with me in enemy territory!
The HNIC announcer just said to Weekes: “Valiquette is the perfect backup for Lundqvist, isn’t he?”
Ouch!
Mako, original one was a bit of me jumpin up and down screamin like a damned fool, with a bit of Axl Rose and Jeff Spicoli tossed in!
LOL Linda – good to know you are well protected ;)
Solid period, should be 2 – 1 us, should have a PP goal from Gaborik assisted by DZ and Kotalik but we got screwed outta a PP.
LW3H hahaha, poor Weekes.
strange none of the rangers players looked upset when their captain took a cheap shot….the guy is a bum
Is Salty still on this blog?
holy carp, shouldnt langkow be on canadian social security by now? Ole graybeard!
Ah yes, thank you MSG for finding that pop filter for Maloney’s mic.
The captain gets buried with a cheap shot and nobody drops that guy? That’s disgusting, not to mention disrespectful. SOMEBODY NEEDS TO STEP UP AND MAKE THAT GUY BLEED.
I’m sick of watching guys get knocked around with no regard for consequences. It’s sad to watch.
Linda
Hopefully minus the bad botox & gross cornrows.
Anyone going to watch Fedor vs. PUDDIN 2.0 on CBS? LOL
CR9, great pic of your dog!!!
Yes, Salty is still here
hey did you guys get an update on Captain Supercalafragalistic yet?
It sends a poor message to let your captain get run like that and not retaliate.
Girardi tried to go after him right afterwards….but…. well you saw LOL
puddin 2.0, dayum!!
It was Redden… and it looked like a sissy push…..
oh damnit, Mike Dingleberry on HNIC, how does this guy have these jobs???
they haven’t shown a replay of that here! HOLY COW KELLY HRUDEY! I met him at an Islanders game after he first signed with them. He was sitting two rows behind us.
Thanks Linda.
I decided to look for who called Jaromir “Yommy Yogger” about 5 minutes ago, and easily found it.
I’m namin’ names!!!!! It was Salty Season’d!!!
Salty Season’d

Jay:
Absolutely. People don’t realize how much Jagr held teh team down this season.
“HAY LOOK HES THARE LEADING SKORER…AND IN THE PLAYOFFS 2! U CAN’T LET HIM GO HES STILL THE BEST IN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD!! GOD YOU GUYS ARE SO DUMB TO LET YOUR LEADING ‘GOAL GETTER’ GO ….. AND TAHTS COMING FROM A 19 YEAR OLD!!”
Blind to the fact that the “leading scorer” had what, 27 goals? We can’t revolve around Jagr. You take Jagr off this team, everyone else LEARNS HOW TO STEP IT UP.
Listen if you’ve got a Jagr netting 50 goals and 65 assists, you let him do whatever he wants, I understand that. But he’s NOT putting up those numbers, and still demanding control and minutes and people are still deferring to him when they have their own opportunities.
This team needs to now be centered around Scott Gomez and his ability to move the puck from point A to point Y, and that means we have to find someone who can move the puck from point Y to point Z. That person is not Yommy Yogger.
————-
The best line is about Gomez and his ability….and how Jagr held the team down.
LOL
ok they just showed it, at first i thought he got hit in the face with a stick or the puck, that didnt look like he got hit in the head though, it looked like he hit him in the shoulder
I hope the Rangers see video of that hit between periods… and then come out and BURY that no talent clown.
Hmm, innocent play on Drury according to Milbury the neanderthal. The breakout pass went a couple of feet behind Drury, who made no attempt to play the puck.
FEDOR FEDOR FEDOR!!!!!!!!!!
Chris, that was an interesting post! I laughed at the Gomez thing, I saw in my minds eye, Gomez turning the puck over at center ice with that stupid poopy eating smirk on his face
it says something about the team, but also says something about the crapstain (ooopps….I mean, “captain”)
wow mako that was some punch there!!!!!!!
Milbury is a total eh-hole if he thinks that play was innocent. No puck near Drury, and he wasn’t looking. Milbury is a total crosby-bag.
CR9- You named names!
Anisimov seems to be centering Gaborik and Prospal now—good to see Tortorella giving him more ice time.
Wish Prospal had come to center Jagr 3 years ago!
Milbury will always be an eh-hole. I hated him commentary whenever the Rangers were on NBC and he was a BIGGER eh-hole talking about Jagr.
Jesus Gómez has two goals in 16 games and the Habs are 8-9. Didn’t see that coming…
wow, he’s got the same number of goals as drury.
Looks like we will need to get the clutch replaced
Yup Linda
GOOD NIGHT PUDDIN 2.0!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
wow the geico cavemen are congratulating him! too funny
so… is anyone gonna do anything aboot GlenGross?
This is our CAPTAIN for god’s sake!!
No penalties in the game yet?
Joe Micheletti pulling no punches. Calls the hit on Drury “gutless”.
>>so… is anyone gonna do anything aboot GlenGross?
>>This is our CAPTAIN for god’s sake!!
I’m thinking of sending him a fruit basket or something to show my appreciation.
dubi done
is that hit on youtube yet because i swear it looked like their shoulders hit on the replay i saw. you guys are making it sound like he had his head ripped off.
Drury faked it because they are running LLWS highlights in Canada tonight
Rangers are dropping like flies!
thank you girardi
Im just glad they have all that time off next week…
druboto does NOT fake it. in the universe that is clutch, there is no such thing as faking it
shittttttttttttttt
inb4 we get foresburg for sure now
hmmm several nice Italian sounding names in the game tonight.
lol @ ‘A torrid pace’
These refs are a joke. They miss a clear cut cheap shot to the head when the puck was nowhere near drury but yet the give calgary a 5 on 3, typical canadian garbage.
Redden and Rozsival show absolutely no resistance when being hit.
Not to mention all of the stick holding and grabbing.
ok I want to know why the ref infront of the play didnt call the blatant interference but the ref behind the play did
any free live streams available? if not, any avery phaneuf confrontations im missing? lgrrr!
FINALLY a penalty!!!!
Something I asked on the last thread…
Does anyone remember a game in Calgary in 2000/01 (5-4 win, Kamensky scored in OT) where the Flames were given a goal from a shot that actually passed over the crossbar?
the hnic crew just said it was a bad call
I wish this John Gionone guy would stop saying a player “is on ice”.
i am sure if the Rangers score, the ref and his family will have to go into hiding….sheesh
Did anyone see that ALMOST elbow to Gabby’s head!?
anyone have a report on drury
linda, no but a shot to the head is pretty much going to give you a concussion. The question is what grade concussion will it be.
linda how can it be a bad call, the defender has to stay in his lane on a dump in he cant impede the progress of the offensive skater
what bs with the canadian teams as usual
Drury is playing Magic cards with Dubinsky in the locker room
>>anyone have a report on drury
Last I heard, he was comfortably watching LLWS highlights in the dressing room.
is it just me, or have BOTH Phaneuf AND Iginla been pretty invisible tonight?
Checked around for an update on Mr. Excellent and nothing….
Drury’s fine. He just heard that NHLers get priority H1N1 vaccinations in Alberta, so he left early (Captains and LLWS winners being the biggest priority).
I have a feeling Dubinsky’s wrist is probably broken.
PP time boys…
OMG another penalty…2 PPs in a row for us…the refs must have the jerseys confused.
is avery playing? when is the “right” time to start talking aboot his “sloppy” play?
or not…all the calls that go missed against us, that certainly does not go unnoticed.
thanks guys, they are not updating anything on here. Hopefully he’s not seriously hurt, ya never want to see someone badly hurt.
LMAO @ Magic!
Chris, I’m just tellin ya what the canadian dudes are saying. Its like we sit here and watch the games and see things with our own eyes, and the announcers describe something different, or try to tell you you did NOT see what you saw…hmmmmmm
How is that a HIGH STICK! You can tell it wasnt because the crowd didnt even react to it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
tomg
i was thinking the same thing. with dru and dubi out, hello grachev?
That penalty was called from Toronto
Gee, did they go to the video replay to call that high stick penalty, thirty seconds later??? Such a joke!
Bullcarp! Make-up call. Why didn’t they call that when NY touched the puck?
wtf just happened?
OH MY GOD, these refs are brutal. I can’t belive what I’m hearing. They decide now that the rangers high sticked a calgary player 3 minutes ago when the raqngers had the puck but because a calgary player complains about a cross check they decide because they blew that high stick call now they will call it to give calgary a power play. I thought I’ve seen bad officiating until tonight’s game. This is by far the worse.
How can they go back and call that? I thought linesmen could only call major penalties?
CCCP – Langkow did say the Flames had been “sloppy in their own end” after the first period. Well chosen words.
How can they get away with that? There was no call
Nigel Flaws is lighting us up
Tortorella is going to burst a vein on that lousy penalty call.
sorry guys!
I like Freddie Shoes….But Nigel Dawes is the biggest loser. How is he playing on a PP line with Iginla on a 9-4-1 team. And the pass was extraordinary.
LW3H
yeah the flames were pretty sloppy in the second
A Local Ham your jokes are horrible enough already
Hmmmm…. Mr. Lube?
who said iginla was invisible.
wow, this is the worst officiated game we’ve seen this season i believe
Phaneuf especially had a sloppy second
Mike
deal with it
WOW both sides are horribly called.
Get used to it. Referees make their decisions very carefully based on one logic: Screw the New York team.
I’m not sure why one would screw the Rangers, they are not elite as of yet.
I understand the HP umpires in the playoffs cheating the Yankees. The referees understood the only way the Yanks would lose was to affect at bats with their cheap garbage. And the Yanks were good enough to win 11 games against the opposing team and the umpires.
Come on rangers, score!!!!
ya know, all any fan wants is a game that is called properly. i honestly think that is NOT too much to ask. Freakin frustrating crap.
Sorry for the length
How’d they end up with a PP for Kotalik’s first two minutes? Does that make any sense
15:32
CGY
Rene Bourque : Cross checking – 2 min
15:32
NYR
Ales Kotalik served by Enver Lisin : Hi-sticking – 2 min
15:33
NYR
Ales Kotalik : Hi-sticking – 2 min
Shouldn’t Kotalik just have been in the box for 4, and it been 4 on 4 for 2 minutes until Rene Bourque left the box, then 2 minutes till Kotalik left the box? That makes no sense what they did… So Lisin leaves the box after 2 and then Kotalik is still in the box for 2 more and Rene Bourque has to wait in the box bceause his team already has 5? What a mistake…
nystrom, a punk just like his nastyarse father
That 4 minute call to Kotalik was just awful. Yeah, he high sticked him, but play continued and to go back and make a call like that is simply ridiculous. Is it Hockey Night in Canada? Ha
They’ll usually call coincidental penalties, so the first of Kotalik’s cancelled out with Bourque’s penalty. Of course, “coincidental” is a strange term to use when Kotalik’s high-stick happened around two days before Bourque goit called…
it sure is Nasty.
whats with this new trend of going back and calling penalties? freakin insane
Unbelievable
If Toronto is where the Rules are reviewed and enforced,
Calgary must be where they ae MADE UP!
i know i’m late here. the usual computer problems.
but can someone here explain how a penalty is called more than 20 seconds after the penalized team touched the puck and why Lisin and Kotalik had to be in the box while Kotalik had to stay for 4 minutes.
besides, all the stickholds that have literally put at least 3 of our players to a stop, the referees tonight SUCK!
You guys never heard of the Delorean Rule? You can go back in time and call a penalty now.
They can talk about these head shots all they want. NO ONE IS DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT!!!!!!!!! WAKE UP BETTMAN!!!! Someone is going to get paralyzed!!!
We have to finish this game and this road trip with a gutsy third period. If we have a rested powerplay unit and fresh ice, I like our odds to get back the one goal.
I’m worried that Dubinsky cracked his wrist or something.
Love Avery, but he is ducking contact and not skating. He better at least try to hurt some Calgary feelings.
Typical Hockey Night in Canada referees—Canadian teams are always given priority in these games. At least Tortorella doesn’t give the refs a break—Renney was always too respectful to the refs, and it never did him any good.
Delorean Rule LOL! awesome Shoryuken
My vote for quote of the week:
“You guys never heard of the Delorean Rule? You can go back in time and call a penalty now.”
They go back and make the call on Kotalik, but no call on Glenncross?
GMAFB
i would love to see how that call on kotalik (and the subsequently power play and penalty serving structure) are explained by the nhl…what a joke.
Al Troutwig is such a douche
also, the glencross call falls under the new 5 min and game misconduct interference penalty
2nd on Shor’s comment on the Delorean Rule!!!
joe is right though..glencross will sit 2-3 games for that hit, if colin campbell takes his head out of his ..
maloney said that the linesmen can make that call, but I thought it was only for majors?
Guys the reason Lisin went into the box is because we need to have someone come out at the end of the 2 min., and since Kotalik is serving 4, someone had to go in.
Renney wouldn’t say sh…ugar about the refs if he had a mouthful.
I hate MSG Plus. I hate this bald guy in the leather jacket who always has something to say about the local teams. Hey man, pick one team and root for them. Jesus. He cheers for the Devils, Islander, Rangers, Mets, Yankees, Knicks, and Nets. I am sorry, but have some loyalty to one team, or at least pick 2. Damn. One confused individual. I mean really, what kind of d bag roots for all the local teams?
:)
I like to know why they didn’t go back and call the drury penalty if they did that on the kotalik high stick. I love hockey but this league is truly a joke. Bettman is the biggest a$$ clown in the universe and the league is right behind him. This is why hockey will never be a big sport in America.
didn’t we see a 5 minute interference penalty against Colton Orr last year?
Dolan?
Colin Cambell is a ja$$A$$. I bet you that the calgary player doesn’t get suspended.
If Drury and Dubi are both injured for a stretch of time, you can bet that either A. Grachev gets called up, or B. Sather does whatever he can to get Foppa.
Third period coming up. I wonder what else can go wro
Its time to kick some Calgary ass!
I have a feeling Dubinsky broke either his hand or wrist on that block of a slap shot. Dubinsky will miss some time, probably a month.
I’d like to know what Ramsey just said to Torts to make him shake his head like that….
Yeah, Orr got a 5 minute interference call. But that was for a clean hit against a Penguin, so it was the right call. By the book.
The NHL will severely reprimand and suspend a player for trash talking about a hockey groupie, yet turns a blind eye to hits to the head. Pathetic that Bettman has time to fuss about Avery’s dumb remarks, but can’t manage to protect the players in his league from injury. Ridiculous management.
The linesmen helped out the refs. What a joke!
They cant whistle a play dead, but can call a penalty.
I wonder where all the “missed calls” that should go in our favor, where are these POS linesmen?????
Shroyuken reread my post, the refs math was terribly off and it made no sense what they did.
Either way why didn’t the linesmen tell the refs about Glencross killing Drury but they caught that histick from Kotalik?
damnit olga, you should NOT have put that in print!
Mako, your emails are spot on!
Bettman, Campbell and their henchmen need to go!!!!
There is no doubt in my mind Dubinsky and drury will miss some time. drury probably has a concussion and like I said in my other post Dubinsky probably has a broken wrist or hand.
They were talking about headshots on HNIC between periods in the early game. Milbury’s take was essentially (paraphrasing slightly): “Why are we talking about this again? It’s done. Not an issue anymore.”
Nasty
That means he would have to clear cap space for him the only player who is expendable is Rozi and they would need to bring up a Dman.
MAKO, just what i was about to say, you can see Ramsay whisper to tortorella and then tortorella shaking his head
Rozsival sucks
Mike
I hope it wasnt “his hand is broken”
make room for another old, broken down, faded, previous superstar…...sigh
well folks, it was fun even though thanks to Bettman and his bush league I now have agida. I’m out of here, have a good night folks.
wow they are getting great chances they have to put one home
Kipper is keeping them in the game.
i swear, these freakin announcers just wont let this crap with avery go. HOLY CARP!! ya got people getting hurt badly and they are going on and on about WORDS!!! amazing how stupid people are
They really need a tough as nails, intimidating Dman. Its is now glaringly obvious, as it wasnt it before… its even more so now.
On the bright side, the Penguins are 4-0 down in San Jose.
Did anyone hear that ridiculous explanation?
That linesmen can call penalties, but must wait until the end of the play to call it.
I wonder how many times linesmen have done this, this year.
So, where’s Dominik Hasek these days?
Forsberg and/or Nylander will be on the team. Nylander was put on waivers for the purpose of re-entry waivers by the Caps.
Oh please, “excellent work behind the net” didn’t even result in a shot on goal.
I don’t know, but I think Staal’s play as of late has redden’d.
I see Fankist has his tan back LOL
Redden should have PLASTERED Iggy into the boards
OMG KOTALIK HOW CAN YOU MISS THAT!
We have gotten 10 real scoring opportunities this period.
We’ve gotta put one in eventually!
an avery goal would be sooo sweet right about now
i bet there’ll be a new guy or two on this team come next game, the question is, will we be happy?
>>...the question is, will we be happy?
Are we, Rangers fans, ever happy, Linda?
They arent playing bad at all.
MDZ’ stretch passes are not connecting today.
Somebody wake up Sather.
its so frustrating when we play this well and can’t net one
Good night, [sta]all!
What do you expect?? We have this weasel Valiquette.
Are we going to get an actual professional backup goalie, or stick with this little leaguer?
BAD BAD BAD BAD STAAAAAL!!!!
It was bound to happen with all those odd man rushes.
Safe is Death has killed them again.
This loser Dawes again. This bum was a ZERO with us.
So, that midget Dawes has a three assist game?
JB, i think we were happy ONCE!
has anybody seen callahan this period?
Olga
That is not “Safe is Death.” That pass by Staal served no purpose. There was no reward to be gained from that pass, only the risk of something negative. If you’re gonna try to make a play, throw it at the net.
1) TERRIBLE pass by staal on that 3rd goal…soft and off the mark…and back toward his own zone when he’s rushing the puck
2) the rangers should have won this game. kiprusoff stole the game for calgary.
They played a good game. Kipper is a great goalie and kept them in the game. Im pretty pissed that Staal thought he was Leetch rushing up the ice but blindly throwing the puck away. ARRRRRRRRRRRRRGH!
I’m gonna have to watch the sharks blow out the Pens to cheer me up. 4-0 in the third period.
maybe in the wake of the injuries Brash will step up and lead the NYR to glory
That replay of Olie rushing up the ice, is exactly what is wrong with them right now. They need to take the body more. They give some players SO MUCH ROOM to make plays. They are still TOO SOFT of a team.
Terrible pass by Staal finished it off, what was he thinking? We were better than them, but lost to Kiprusoff and the refs’ friggin time machine.
They were taking all kinds of chances in the third. Calgary had at least 3 odd man rushes as Ranger defensemen were taking chances at the other end. It was just a matter of time til they got burned. Staal’s pass was another high risk move.
Or dumb. Take your pick…
We played two centers down all game, and still put up a pretty good fight. Staals pass at the end there was not a great play, but considering it was late in the game, and they were taking chances, I can live with it. We very easily could have won this game. I tell you though, Calgary sure plays some boring ass hockey. Are they the Devils of the West or something?
>> JB, i think we were happy ONCE!
Yeah, I remember that ONE time; it seems so long ago. Oh wait… That WAS a long time ago.
also i think i had a revelation tonight – no players succeed in new york (with a good supporting case) – either we have jagr stealing the show for a season with 0 support behind him, or we have a bunch of overpaid underperformers dwelling in mediocrity
gaborik/prospal are going to steal the show this year, with 0 supporting cast
until we have another player like messier join that is unaffected by playing for the rangers (which will be never), we won’t win a cup
and this realization had nothing to do with this game…just something i was thinking about earlier lol
OH BOY the MSG brain trust is in firing on all 2 cylinders
Going back to the Kotalik penalty, apparently (Rule 33.4):
“The Linesman must report upon completion of play, any circumstances pertaining to:
...
(viii) Double-minor penalty when it is apparent that an injury has resulted from a high-stick that has gone undetected by the Referees”
So, technically within the rules – a surprise to me. Still doesn’t explain why the refs missed it, and it still smelled like the officials only reacted to Conroy’s complaining.
Is something wrong with Keanan tonight? His eyes are all glassy and has been stumbling all over his words?
Malhotra scores. 5-0 sharks
Manny AND Orts have been great for SJ this year. Orts has 2 assists in that game.
Fire Sather.
There. I said it again.
Solid efforts under circumstances (Dru, witch I hold our Orr personally responsible for and Dubi).For me the biggest annoyance besides referees was again Staal, who has NO friggen business in offensive zone(how many times should it happened for him and Tort to understand it’s not his role)and Avery, who again was less then zero, whoever and whatever says, just helpless and pathetic.
Hockey Night Live sucks ass.
Devils just leap frogged over the Rangers tonight in the standings. If they arent careful so will the Islanders.
Kotalik was unbelievably good again. Kipper and Luck was against Rangers tonight, but no shame in game…
Joe M was drooling over the fact that Avery was able to hold the puck behind the Calgary net for like 15 seconds before giving it away. Yay! There was nothing in front, so he should have cycled it, he had a guy to his left.
You got to admit it, Sather has brains. Trouble is, his brains are in his head, and his head is up his ass.
DRURY MORE THE LIKELY DISLOCATED SHOULDER OR CONCUSSION DUBI PROBABLY BROKEN WRIST. BOTH PROBABLY OUT 4-6 WEEKS MY GUESS.
WHAT 2 CALLUPS FROM HARTFORD TO REPLACE THEM
VOROS AND BRASH ARENT THE ANSWERS TO REPLACE THEM
HOCKEY NIGHT LIVE U NEVER SEE ANY OF TORTS POSTGAME PRESSER
Yes, Staal is making too many mistakes too far from his own goal. But I don’t have a problem with the team giving up odd-man rushes with five minutes left when down a goal and pushing for the tying goal. It’s a step up from always having Betts and Orr on the ice in the last few minutes of the third.
Mandlebaum is giving Shor a run for his money for the comment of the week. Because that was pretty brilliant Izzy LOL
LW
Yeah I dont mind it either…but throw the puck AT THE NET… not across the ice.
eric
I think Grach and Parentau, with adjustment for centers.Who knows may be, just may be, it will be for best.
OMG I changed the channel for 2 seconds! I miss the Torts interview. What was said? Anyone know what was said….
Torts said Drury has a concussion. Dubinsky may be out for awhile too, although he was less specific about Dubi’s injury.
He said the team played one of their best games all year, and Kiprusoff was the difference.
Yeah,he apologized to some guy by nickname MAKO and promise next time to play better.
new post.
Thank you Olga :)
He’s on the money about Kipper… I dont know about best games? What do you all think?
Bad news all around…
4ever
Thanks for that. You’re sarcasm was much appreciated.
Sorry MAKO if I hurt your feeling. It wasn’t intentional sarcasm, just light reactional joke to easy tensions after lost game. Again, sorry for obvious underachievement.
