So you want some basketball scores? I didn’t think so.
Not much to report on your New York Rangers. Same lineup as the 4-1 win over Florida, although Andrew Gross wrote that Tortorella may break up Staal and Girardi, or at least he had them separated in the morning skate. Lundqvist starts his 12th straight in goal.
Hard to believe in this season that a fifth straight win wouldn’t be a team high … that seven-game streak in October seems so long ago, though.
Here are tonight’s pregame notes.
Behave yourselves. Josh, 26, says Hi.

Rangers need to take it up a notch…
Repost
Time to shrink the pool of teams in the World Jrs. 16-0? Are you kidding me? And Sweden beat Czechs earlier 10-1. Yaaawn cut the rabble and get to the chase. That d-bag Pierre McGuire was enjoying every minute of the poor Latvians’ humiliation, you know his thing, rattling off all the Canadian players hometowns every time they do anything. Tool.
World’s Greatest! That’s better than just Number 1.
Hey all!! I’m at the garden enjoying warm ups. Xmas present from the boy. I also got engaged on Xmas eve soooo excited! I’ll check in later hope everyone enjoys the game

Good kill, good shot by Lisin.
wily coyote? that wasnt the weirdest comparison i’ve ever heard.
909
I think Dave meant the Road Runner. I was like WTF too LOL
I think he meant road runner.
still a weird comparison…
shaddup joe
How does that garbage team ALWAYS do that against us?
Damn, out of nowhere
who’s man was that?!
tough sequence for Girardi
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUDGE!
boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Unhhh!
SSDD. No one guarding the front.
I blame my boss for that. he just called and distracted me….shite!
drury held onto the puck a lil while. havent seen him do that for a while
Shoot the effing puck, Chris
Dubinsky was caught down way low. VP took the guy but what are you gonna do…. everyone was almost covered. Not too worry.
Rangers arent getting out played at all…. so Im not worried…
oh, looks like im right on time…
Hello. :)
Roloson is always crying.
is the ONE referee going to give us a power play??
Has Avery been on the ice since the fight?
this is shaping up to be a good piece of embarrassment tonight
this is gonna be one of those penalty nights isnt it
Riverdance. WTF is wrong with their arms?
I don’t think they’re playing as well as Joe was making out but they’re not playing badly. The Islanders are just better right now.
Fire Sather, Everybody!
dubinsky is playing like he’s afraid to make a play
anyone have a LINK other than the one on atdhe.net and channelsurfing.net? Those links are waaaaaay choppy.
Brashear takes the longest shifts
Does anyone know if there was some event at the garden? Both teams look like they are playing on soft ice…. even the puck isnt moving very fast…
Where is this skill people said Brashear had when we signed him? It looks like he’s playing with one of those cheap plastic sticks you play with as a kid.
MAKO
I’m not sure. Try doing I again.
FIRE
I was wondering who tendersituation was, I forgot aboot you. I’ll be on after the game if you want to go for a round.
Kern, no it’s just the way he skates it looks like forever
this has been the most dull game ive seen in awhile. do the rangers realize the islanders are actually a decent team? they look like they think its an automatic win here. have they even got a decent shot on roloson??
Should you really wait until 20 body parts are amputated to quit smoking? Sounds like she’s got a room temperature IQ…
nice job avery. dumbass
Bad penalty
mike…the game isnt over yet… it’ll get more EXCITING! :)
lmao olga. sounds like when they handed out brains, she was out on a smoke break
somebody asked if aves had seen ice since the penalty? there u have it. lol
Rolo knew Avery wasnt looking and stepped into his way. Sneaky bastages
I think this period ended just in time…...i hope there’s some regrouping…..we seem to have flagged halfway thru this one.
Is it me, or is Avery a moron in his own end??
Did the Rangers even complete a pass that period?
MAKO- yeah, but Aves although followed through..
He’s playing with some passion, but Avery is killing us right now.
Problem with the game tonight…Torts didnt start Gaborik!!!! The croud was a buzz and sure Higgins and Cally had a great shift …but come on !! Gaborik never saw the ice for at least 4 min or so maybe 6 min. Torts the idiot should of played Gaborik right away and got us that big goal.
Games good so far…we’ll win , I gareentee!!!
Linda- that smoker should be playing defense for the Rangers. The way parts are falling off, she’d be ALL OVER the ice during the game.
Islanders are losers and Im all for another win!!!! Come on ILb dont pull an Olga and start going AGAINST our team.
I don’t know which commercial is worse – the smoking amputee or the cash lottery with the bunny rabbits. Bring back Jules from The Clothing Store any day!
Greg, what if I don’t drink gareen tea?
....ilb , I didnt know yer that kinda guy.
Ah and our first impostor tonight!!!
Shor-
Aves is playing with a lot of passion but with low efficiency…Common with a ne girlfriend…
Olga, she’d be tougher than most of our current dmen anyway!!!
When the catz away the mice will play…
Guys, 7;47 and 7;48-imposter
wow, it’s been a while mako…good thing blogmama is around
you guys are hard to please…
“Torts cut Avery’s nutz and he isnt the same!”
“Avery got his nutz back and he is killing us!”
cant make ours minds, eh?
uh, what the hell was up with the giannone drury commercial???
i’d rather have aves at full ball than the neutered one!
Well, I guess I should be honored. Some idiot posted as me twice.
Linda you know they can’t not talk about Drury for too long. He’s clutch, you know.
Linda
Yuppers, it has been a long time. I cant say that I miss it either.
take pressure off of Drury? i gotta suggestion… take the “C” and give it to someone else!
Really ilb? I didn’t notice…. :)
ilb, I totally figured that….i’d be shocked if that was you. I’m going into to admin zone….imposter, this is your first and final warning. quit it.
as the captain of the New York Rangers, if you can’t handle the pressure, you don’t deserve the C.
Mama, ilb @7:47 and 7:48, are you on it?
sorry Shor, thats the first time i’ve seen a drury love fest ad!
Well I cant say I disagree with anyone about *C*hewy. They should have followed Vancouver’s path and gave the “C” to Lundqvist. Seems as though he like the pressure.
How was that an instigator?
how come Sam Rosen is not in the Hockey Hall of Fame and Mike “instant orgasm” Emerick is?
Way to make excuses for him. I’m tired of hearing how much he cares and how much pressure he puts on himself. You took 7.5 million to come play in this pressure cooker.
Everytime he does something that he is SUPPOSED to do, like back check, they make it seem like he is leading the way.
BTW – I forgot about that AWFUL Planet honda commercial. Is that guy for real with his jackhole christmas jingle that doesn’t rhyme at all?
Has DiPietro been on every Emblem Health injury report in these games for like 2 years or what? It’s so redundant, “Knee/hip/pinky/pancreas/whatever, no timetable for return.”
Done ilb….sigh. as if I don’t have enough work to do tonight…..
Dubi just tried a classic Jagr move that didnt work
lmao!!!!!!!!! my kid posted on facebook that i shouldnt call her for 30 days!!!! i told her i guess she doesnt need my $50 for her school payment then!
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO AVES!!!!
Better start
Rough for the latter half of this period. Did they ever explain why only one ref??
weather issue beth
shor, you forgot the penile removal
lmao!!
seans been dating hilary for a wHile now.
perry como has to play tough to stay in the lineup
What’s with falling? Do they still have the figure skating skates on?
Mama, thx
please tr, tell us its not another ‘actress’
ilb
yeah i know. I think the ice is garbage tonight…. something must been going on at the garden.
TR, we don’t talk about that here, when I’m here….:)
This is one of the most boring games ever. Also, why the fugg is Brashit playing ? Put Voros in, at least he brings comedy.
I never gave a damn
about the meter man
until I was the man
who had to read the meters, man
torts just call a timeout already. they havent listened to u so far
i feel like we’ve barely shown up.
Maybe we’ll get a PP with 2 refs? Too much to ask?
i think voros should be in a few games. brastrap doesnt really do anything
orr- isles had a sober xmas. rangers partied like they had won the cup. and i dont wanna hear because its “nyc”. bs game so far. boring isnt the word
ugggh this link sucks ;(
looks like another one Laurel
the beth post at 8:10 is not beth
Has Drury’s magic run come to an untimely end?
Redden is soft
dubinsky has an ass to eat and jerk with
Come on now this is a family blog
how is there no hit from behind there?
imposter at 8:14 laurel
and pretty sure that 814 post is NOT ranger909
WHY WASNT THAT BOARDING!?!??!?
oh wow gabby is playing? didnt notice till now
they think because Rick’s not here that there’s noone watchin the store.
Gaborik gets a pass for the rest of the season
I got it, I got it…...thanks….
delete the homo erotic islander fan
“Redden is soft”
.....
Redden is not soft…he’s just “thin boned”
Move Artie up and Dubi down.
Ok, put some traffic on Roloson
Rolosson is shutting us down like the great Tuka Rask
cmon cant anyone score on this old fart??
kill me, kill me. i hate when brashear is on the ice. what a great play huh joe? wanna make that even more clear joe?
Dubi is Malkin’ around with the puck too much. JUST SHOOT IT!
ARGHHHHHHH!!!
very nice pressure
brAAAAAAAshear…oy vey, he actually makes a hockey play and they are all over it like white on rice
mike, i think you’re mistaken. the old fart is in the press box. isles goalie lookin good though
i swear i freakin hope Avery scores in this game! it’d piss off the islanders AND my daughter!!!!!!!!! hehehehehe
yea dubys been crud. artie isnt that much better though. we know he has better hands but duby is more consistent
PP, there you go.
how come Brashear isnt on PP?? he’s such a great play maker!
WWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
I am so not happy…....
Does that look familiar?
guys. u can make the decision for me. nhl 10 or keep watching this?
Kotalik sucks.
Looks like Kotalik will get benched for the next 5 games.
My goodness, how bad is Kotalik????
ok chris, i’m about 40 seconds behind, what are ya wowin about a firetrucker i just saw it
effin pathetic.
This is going to be a disaster! More alcohol needed!!
I can’t even keep my names straight!!!!!
Kyle Ok-bozo to Blake Gomo and the Rangers are cooking slow again…
Accountability is death
Higgins couldn’t finish a sentence
3 giveaways in one shift for ROzi
LOUD Fire Sather chants now.
fire sather chants!
Hey Torts how about a TO?
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWX2
Mike, we’re gonna have lots of fun tnite huh?
It’s like they forget the basics of hockey against this garbage team.
who ever the center was… that’s who fault it was. MDZ & Kotalik took out their man there was a guy coming down the middle who wasnt covered.
This teams a joke. If NYR fans were smart, they would avoid home games at all costs.
It’s not worth paying money to see this.
YELLING FIRE SATHER IS RETARDED!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes!!!!!!!!
FIRE SATHER!!!!!!!
never mind….
These guys are not Penske material.
909- watch a snail mate. it’ll be better than this pathetic effort. great showing rangers. hank to gabby, its all bad. everybody is bad tonight. except dolan who got a sellout for this????? wow what a winner!!
wheres the poke check by Lundqvist? on that short handed goal
Brashear needs to be rocky balboa’d in the face.
Your right Greg
We should all be praising him for not driving this franchise into the ground and screwing us for the next 3+years with Drury Redden and Rosival.
Del Zotto had no need to make that pass up the middle, then makes a bad play going for the body when he had okposo beat to the puck there… im givin him the blame on this second goal
This one is starting to smell like a public bathroom in Lima
mike, i tried the snail thing. cept i put him near the tv and he sees the game so he says “poor some salt on me if you has a heart” so i said ok cool, but i dont have any salt. so’s i whipped out a pic of rosy and jeff the snail croaked.
girardi couldnt get a pass by the islanders if they were jenna jamisons legs.
I blame Tortorella’s ties…
Girardi was undrafted for a reason
Salty Slats saw something though…
I won’t let this loss ruin my puke session after this game.
The difference is our guys say these games mean something and their guys show it.
lmao @ ‘a smattering of boooos’. uh, a smattering is NOT what was heard!
Hey guys hope you all had a Merry Christmas, and a white one at that!
I had a ton of the white powder, not on my lawn but in lines on my table.
See you in the 3rd!
ORR
If you are going to be loaded later, we should definitely play NHL maybe I can get a couple wins
Have you gotten MW2?
lol wade!!! i’d love to get some of that stuff if i could do what u do and still got paid!
I’m sure Gilroy would be happy to talk more. Who wants to go into that dressing room? Imagine the amount of carp that hit the fan? Just be careful with the logo, Torts
sort of random question but does any1 know anything bout the iso7x? i’m a sucker for those muscle building commercials
909- i just turned the game off. no we wont have fun tonight. sry bro. rangers look like a bunch of sissies. cant rep a team like that. when they start playing, i’ll, start cheering. after 40 minutes, this is the worst effort, besides the chicago game, ive seen yet. they need to change that faggy coldplay song too. my god can you emasculate this team anymore?? get some players that will give 100%. not kotalik, not gilroy, not rozy, or dru or duby. gimme cally,prospal,avery(even though he is only good at talking and posing/walkin down a runway) and gabby. get a team filled with those types and then play some freakin hockey. not this girly fancy crap weve been watchin.
“they need to change that faggy coldplay song too. my god can you emasculate this team anymore??”
couldnt agree more. There is an infinite amount of music that would be better suited
mike, u need a rap about somebody to cheer u up bud?
lmao @ redden wishing up seasons greetings
LMAO at MSG cutting off Dreddens holiday greeting. He gets no love. Only from the drug dealers, but it’s not real.
FIRE
I’m probably gonna get it after my laptop. Gotta make sure I have enough for the one I want.
Where did this Redden drug thing come from lol, I’ve never heard it except on here.
rob- yea dz totally blew that play. hes been quite shitty in his own end for awhile now. but we all know thats why he gets points, cuz he is basically a fwd playing point. add the goals and assists and minus the goals hes been on against and it wont make u smile. hes been on the ice for at least half of the goals against in teh past 20- games. yea, but hes given a pass cuz he is a great passer. gilroy is a huge dissappointment, dz hasnt been that bad, but hes got a lot of work to do in his own end, and i mean, its like watchin kotalik play d.
so, anybody see a comeback? lol. i’ll check back later but greg, i will bet u any amount of money we will lose. u wanna bet?? and how can u say fire sather chants are stupid?? u like him? u think hes done anything good besides sign sure shots like gabby and jagr??? i love the chants. hopefully we hear some dolan chants too. after he hears that, maybe he’ll fire sather.
shor, it was a rumor that he was on coke
Yea I know but where did it start? I only hear it on here.
Wtf did Torts just say? Can someone translate that in Russian for me?
Shor
I read it first on a Ottawa blog when he was first signed. But, I really dont know how true it is….
i could see a comeback its only 2 goals, and yea del zotto just has to start pickin his spots when hes gona try to make those thread the needle passes.. and we all know he just has to keep workin on his game in his own zone, he will learn hes still a rookie, just gota call it the way you see it and id kinda pin the blame on him on that particular goal
yea but if Kotalik is in position Comeau doesn’t walk in.
“That short-handed goal changed everything…”
lord, i could do his job and still sound incisive.
shor,if you google it, it comes up everywhere.
jackman is such an idiot
They really need to find a play making center….
ok 909 I’ll check it out.
Yeah, Mama, and still do some editing at work..
Shor
it all started on one cold Monday morning when Wade was 11 years old…
and even if its not true, its still fun to play around with
I know I probably say this a lot but Giannone is TERRIBLE
we’ll make it 2-1 here
I really want to know why dont they take the shot from the slot?
Thats my favorite rangers move…the old im 10 feet from the front of the net let me not shoot and back pass so we can take a shot from the point…wow
Why is Rozi on the PP?
drury made a great play there
DUBI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WHAT A CLUTCH SHOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DUBI!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dubinsky! The puck goesinsky!
Redden is the only cocaine addict that doesn’t have the ability to dip into his cocaine scarface super strength.
Finally Dublowsi steps up !!!
ok..we got one back.. one more to tie and another one to win…lets go!
what i tell yaaaaa
get this game to OT
shor, i dont think u need to google it .he saw the ref and still somehow ran into him
wade redden gets stopped by.. the referee lol cant watch this guy play anymore
where was this fire 2 periods ago?
lmao maybe the colombians were coming and he panicked.
Rangers need to start using their looooong sticks, and use their big feeeeet.
Rob M- keep talking, please
dublowski = worst nickname on here, right up there wit dreary, idiocy
what i meant to say was
I tell you guys…Chris Drury looks so much better in person! i know…i seen him!
drury’s so clutch he can score for the other team with ease also
keep throwing it at the net
Avery is certainly doing his part
i love avery, see him just grab trent hunter like where you think ur going after you just hit me… we are gona tie this one up
would love to see Avery with the tying goal….
i see us do this more then any other team, that horrible set up from behind our own net
we’re gona draw a penalty here and get a power play, gaborik with the tying goal.. i know going out on a limb but thats how i see it
not really goin out on a limb i meant ***
How is Dublowsi and Dreary bad nicknames ? Drury is dreary and puts you to sleep, and Dubi blows. Pretty simple.
I’m not jumping on Dublowsi’s bandwagon after this goal. After what he pulled this off season, I’m still hoping Slats sends him and his comb over somewhere and get us a good return.
if you cant win games at home you can kiss playoffs goodbye
damnnnn so clooose
I can’t take this…..
OK LETS TIE IT UP PP TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!
come on pp
POWER PLAY waht i tell ya… all i wana do is be able to say what i tell ya ONE MORE TIME TONIGHT
How about du-stinksky?
DZ put everything into that shot. you see his face?
“the key is to win the faceoff”
Noooooo, really ????
“the key is to win it and take control.”
excellent point!
Dump and chase hockey makes my eye twitch. Dump and chase on the power play makes me want to murder someone.
HOLY HELL that should have been on 5 on 3
i hate dump and chase on power play wit a passion as well…
how bad can u get on a freakin pp? they need to score and they cant even get a forecheck
gotta call that trip on sutton
duby!!! holy crap!!!!
He does it again !!!!!
DUBLOWSKI HAHAHA I LOVE IT
yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah
EFFFFFF AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
FANKIST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
how’s that for Dublowsky??
DUUUUUUUUBBIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!
DUBLOWSKI, HAHAHA WAHT I TELL YA
UNBELIEVEABLE!!!!!
WHO EVER THE HELL IT WAS !!!!!!!!!!!
DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUB!
wow…........just firetruckin wow
Rob M. the new Rangers mascot!
DUUUUUUUUUUUUBIIIIIII
He needs to finish the job now. Get the hat trick.
Where the heck is Sally??
lol MAKO
RobM- what’s your address? And what would you like?
see i was playin hockey on the touch and they tied it up… gotta keep playin!
no shootout, lets use this momentum and finish this in OT lets gooooo, 5 in a row on the liiiiiiine
Hoochie mama.
Unefffingbelievable!
sally is cheating on us with real live fleshy people tonight. she’s gonna be annoyed that her lil man scored twice and she missed it, but i’m sure she’s havin fun with the fleshy people
i want you all to get up, i want all of you to get out your chairs, i want you to get up right now and go to the window, open it, and stick your head out and say LETS GO RANGERS
how do gilroy and redden get a shift in OT together, UGH
Linda, get the game wordwarp. boat loads of fun
Hank!
Like somebody said, Piggins can’t finish a sentence.
fleshy people….ha!
lmao @ piggins!!
if this gets to a renneyout… DO NOT SEND GABBY OUT THERE IN THE FIRST 3! oh, here’s this guy wasting more time with his equipment. last game he wasted 3 minutes..
Of course.
F#@King OREO. GODDAMMIT.
Crap…..How did that go in?
wtf was that?
i just did what Rob M asked and i got smacked in the face with apple pie!!
omg imagine redden or rozy scoring the goal in ot…. i think we’d all pee ourselves
ARGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH.
crap
i knew this guy was gona score at some point in this game when they interviewed him about his slump before the game, was hopin he woudlnt in OT dammittt man
effin genetic mutant…....amazing…
well, gonna go play games on my new toy, catch you guys lata!!
didn’t look like much of a screen
Deflected….
how the hell did that beat lq?
You had to think Softqvist would make a cameo at some point.
that deflected off staal, i think it went thru his legs matter fact
ilb, i dont think it was deflected.
nah actually off right side of his right leg, and it finds the net right off the post damnnnnn
nvm, didnt see that, it was
ranger, off Staal
Kyle Shmockbozo
lucky-ass deflection, they always get that crap.
it deflected man he aint softqvist hes the backbone of this team
The guy makes a couple of great stops and then lets that get by him? What gives was he screened?
WTF why dont they EVER stand up on a player coming into the zone. Its INFURIATING !!!!!!! ARRRRRRRRRRRRRGH!!!!!!!!
The difference in this game…. goaltending.
He was and it went off of Staal skate….
Sorry gang. Should not lose on a 50 foot wrist shot. If Hank’s leash would allow him to be 8 inches from the goal line instead of only 4, he would get better results. But we did not lose because of Hank. Bottom line…..Islanders wanted this game more. They battled harder, outworked the Rangers and Henrik decided to reward them with an OT softy.
rob m- he isnt softqvist, but he sure as hell wasnt hardqvist either tonight. for as many saves he made, he let in 3 goals. more than dwayne 40 year old roloson.
imposter again. laurel….
roloson played a good game man but the rangers didnt get enough scoring chances, how is anyone even thinkin of blaming this game on lundqvist its ridiculous, they scored on a tic tac toe passing play, and on waht turned out to be a 1 on 0 after del zotto didnt get the puck when he took the body on okposo.. the 3rd goal went off staal’s leg or skate, it happens man, people r smoking drugs if they blame lundqvist for this loss some of you hav no idea waht ur talking about, i dont even care if its your “opinion”, its out of the question
Always the same bs. Sickening.
Anyway, it’s ps3 time.
Alright, it’s time for positive Mike:
The good-Rangers who were outworked get a point and yeah it stinks the Islanders win, but two more points for them is two less reasons to worry about them getting Taylor Hall or Kabanov or Seguin etc.
USA up 5-3 on Slovakia, Derek Stepan has 3 points and Kreider with a helper.
mike in ia u act like 3 goals is alot, this guy hasnt let up 3 goals since the game vs buffalo, there was 6 games in between that with 2 or less
Oh jesus are you guys going to start in on LQ? The guy stands on his head for the last 4 games and everyone praises him. They lose due to poor coverage, anemic PP, missed calls and the other team hungrier and its LQ’s fault.
I didn’t see the deflection. Did it redirect completely, or did it just move a half inch or so ?
Hank is the only goalie in the league who gets beat by minor redirections. And Hank is the only goalie in the league who gets players out of slumps.
I’m not blaming the game entirely on him. But that sho seemed stoppaple cause he’s “The King”.
Roloson was solid, but most of the shots were from outside. Both goals went in when the Rangers battled near the crease. They made him look good…
exactly. rangers got some really clutch goals to get them to ot, something we havent seen in awhile, and if gabby doesnt score, or hank play like god, then we lose., this game was lost in the first 5 minutes. the momentum gained from the tying goal, went right to 2.5 million dollar man chris higgins. and it died there too. the guy is the hardest working loser on any nhl team ive seen. the guy works his ass off every night, but for him to score on any of his glorious oppurtunities would be the equivalent of a man with no arms becoming the world push-up champion. the guy is just ridiculous when it comes to playing hockey. yea, he tries, he wins puck battles, he gets where hes supposed to for a chance to score, and then misses or doesnt even get a shot off. unreal. pride of long island he is
Rob asswipe, dont converse with me anymore.
Has nothing to do with Hank at all. I was afraid it would turn into a real stinker by the end of 2nd. They showed some heart, I’ll take one point and run. Still 2 games over .500. Islanders just wanted it more, that’s all.
Hi RANGER FANS! Happy Chrishanukkwanzaa! That should cover just about everybody.
You know, I can’t figure out how all those empty seats can chant “Fire Sather” so loudly.
Riiiing! Hello Dere, Jimmy! (It’s the Boss!)We did it again Jimmy! Yep, sold every seat again. We Win!! Listen, you’ve got to stop rooting for the Blue and Orange team. YOUR hockey team is dressed in Red-White-Blue. Well, how can it be a habit when your other Blue-Orange team never wins a game? (Jeez, there he goes again. Cryin’ like a baby.) Gotta go Jimmy. (click).
Now, where were we? Where’s my protege, Messier? Mess! How about running down and getting us a couple dozen of those Sabrett hot dogs? Good boy! I’ll teach you some more important stuff when you get back. Like how to draft rookies. When you get the weiners, check and see if there are any more green ones. I thought they were just colored for the holidays. I ate one yesterday and everything in my bowels liquefied. Yep. Shat through a screen door and never touched a wire. Give the green ones to Muckler. I owe him one…
So we lost in overtime. So what!? It sure was exciting! That’s what keeps the fans happy, AND buying tickets and jerseys. And keeping El Presidente in stogies and scotch. (Boy, if they ever catch on, I’ll be back in Edmonton shining Pocklington’s shoes.)
Well, see you all at the flyer game. And buy some more jerseys will ya? I’m starting to run out of old veterans to put on the team.
Nighty Nite!

ranger909, OK, thanks…
Where are the trolls coming from ?
nobodys blaming hank rob. if we had come out playing hard it wouldnt matter if hank let in 3 goals. its not the point. its the way in which he gives up goals. he gave up a weak goal. no matter how u slice it. u think that was a great shot? no. he is a great goalie ok. he makes some amazing saves. yes, he almost singlehandedly got us on that 4 game win streak, but he has so many games like this. they had like 20 shots. its the point that either we dont score enough or hank sucks. tonight, both sucked. we got lucky to score after playin like horsecrap for 40 minutes, and hank made few nice saves, but in the end, couldnt stop a very stoppable shot. deflected or not, he was too deep in net.

This is supposed ot be “Hockey Night Live” Why dont they play more than 1 min of Torts presser? WTF Come on!!!! I listened to the MSG “brain trust” for absolutely nothing….
Good game, very frustrating that they didn’t decide to play hard until the 3rd. Can’t blame Lundqvist on a freak goal. Any of the brain surgeons still want to trade Dubi?
hilary is really nice
shes not an actress i dont think
i didnt even know she was a model to tell you the truth
really down to earth. good people
that will be the last time i talk about that i promise laurel, lol
missed most of the game
glad they got a point
in this “horrible team 9 game trip” they have got 9 out of 12 points. they need to win the next 2 games and then start beating good teams.
I feel for Mama. She had to work, deal with the imposter(I’m sure it’s the same idiot), watch them lose in OT…
a good point. played a good half of first period. soso in second and showed a lot to come back in the 3rd.
as far as the ot goal. yes, deflected off of Staal
just that kind of thing
BUT
i still believe Hank was too far in the paint.
if he could even be a foot further forward and it’s less likely it would have gone in.
again, i don’t understand why he plays so deep.
anyone?
anyone?
Bueller??
We lost because we got outworked and gave up a SHG. Not because of LQ. I don’t know what they expect, it’s like they’re stunned that the Isles play their best against us and forecheck and work when EVERY GAME THEY DO THE SAME EFFIN THING against us.
yea im sure hes the only goalie in the league that gets beat by minor deflections, waht an idiotic statement
it wasnt that huge of a change of direction but it was significant because the puck would hav been right at him, and it turns into a goal that goes in just off the post, as if it was a real well placed shot
and he actually came out a decent amount to cut the angle down there, if hes sittin back in the crease mb that extra tenth of a second gives him time to stop it, but u konw what i rather hav him high in the crease than hav him sittin all the way back, i hate that.. its a good point, cant win every game, we’ll beat philly monday
Thanks ilb, I feel for me too. Plus, TR!!! I’m good people! I’m down to earth! sigh, can I go home yet….
And everytime I have to go back and forth as an admin my name gets screwed up. double argh!!!!
Id like to see the rangers saturday night record…this damn hockey night live is a jinx, the show is horrible and every time we play when it is on after the game it feels like we lose. I want my old msg back, with the original saxophone opening!!!
jpg lundqvist definitely coudl hav been further out to cut the angle, BUT for himm and how he usually plays, he wasnt real real deep in the crease, sometimes hes literaly a step infront of the goal line, here he was moderately out. i think if he was cuttin angle even more it still may hav went in bc it got deflected so perfectly to where it hit right off the inside the post, u know
i’ll start in on hank anytime i want mako. what, u think hes “untouchable” because he is the only superstar on the team besides gabby? hell, he sucked tonight., just like gabby did, prospal did, our whole defense tht backs up like a bunch of scared choirboys. he gave up too many goals. so what? he still is awesome. he is the difference between winning and losing 100% of the time. and for the great games he has, we all praise him,but when a stinker like this comes along, he needs to be taken down a few notches. and im just the man to do it. got a problem with that? come see me. u know what state im in. u want my address?

So we lose again … bush-league once again
Shoryuken on Wade Redden -I agree, the Rangers haven’t come out looking to kill against these guys, at home, for years. Like a boxer who loses the first couple of rounds then decides to fight but cannot win on points but never scores the knockout.
I think the post holiday crankiness has officially settled in….
Hi Guys!
At least we got a point … I played much better today too … finally I found panties that fit me … my boyfriend found me these Victoria Secret’s pair that are so snug …
Next time I’ll wear the floss thong and we’ll surely win.
Tootaloo!

It’s like when you play video games with your sister or something, and you ease up and let her start winning, but then she’s better than you thought and you start playing hard too late. That’s what I think of when we play these guys.
haha just kiddin mako. im just messin with ya cuz of who ur goalie is on the fantasy league! lol u can have backstrom for lq straight up!1 ha
laurel
youre the blogmama! youre GREAT people!
mike, you want a rap? TR. jump-start. gimme a beat man
Mike you have a hair up your @ss tonight or something?
” got a problem with that? come see me. u know what state im in. u want my address? ”
LOL yeah ok
hey mr fake rozy, u wanna tell him that to his face? i bet hed whip your ass. and make u look like the puss u are. why dont u get on the ice and earn 5 million for doing nothing? id like to see u try bud. go ‘head, get your skates laced and get on msg ice and play like a real d man. id like to see you give the puck away as much as i do and get away with it. u cant match my crappyness if u tried!!
I told ya. Ovie for LQ that’s all LOL
mako- cmon bro u know u my boy!!1 i just josh thomson’in bro!!
damn. i thought id try makin hank look so bad u would gimme hank for backstrom!!! i tried lol
Im hoping for a late night post from the Captain riding back to his posh flat in the clutchmobile tweeting from his clutchberry….
Well, seriously Rozy did have some significant brainfarts tonight. I wonder if Torts will sit him.
Mike
I didnt see any winky winky nudgey nudgey in that LOL I was like damn he’s pissed LOL
its all good bro ;)
awww. thanks TR….pass that on will ya ; )
Mike in ia:
Jeez, please don’t hurt my feelings like that … I’m very sensitive.
The only reason I give up the puck is because it’s so hard and comes at me so fast … I don’t want to risk breaking the nails I just polished.
You know, $5M doesn’t go very far when you have to get pedicures every other day and buy new pantyhose after every game … they keep ripping on me every time I fall on the ice! That’s the only reason I now let the other guys blow past me …
And don’t use “ass”, I have virgin ears …
Should we just get it over with Torts’ tie? Is there a Ob/Gyn doc on the blog tonight? I’m sure he’d find a comparison…..
OMG they have been entertaining the idea of changing the trophy names? LEAVE THE GD GAME ALONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ilb, huh?
ok boys mila kunis yay or nay?
yay.
Mila Kulis major thumbs up. She gets extra points for growing up in Queens. How the hell did MaCaulay Kulkin get her? This world is not just.
ha beat orr to it.
yeah Mike I have no idea how that trash bag got her. UGH I was flipping through Max Payne & saw her. ilb she was born in the UKRAINE!!!!!!!!!!!
Anaheim- San Jose, good game
MAKO, I know, we are from the same city. She was 8 when she moved to US.
Our “boy” Eklund has fired up the Dubinsky for Cogliano rumors again.
It’s be nice to get Cogliano and Souray from them, don’t know what they’d want, though.
new post.
I’d take Cog and Soray for Dubi straight up.
And Kunis is a major YAY. She’s in my top 10. I has amazing dreams of a 4-some with Megan Fox, Mila Kunis, and Olivia Wilde. WOW !!
ROB
It’s not an idiotic statement. It’s a god damn fact. Watch some games every now and then, most goalies are able to stop semi redirected pucks, but it seems Hank can’t.
I still think Benoit Allaire needs to get fired, he failed with Vally, but more importantly he can’t fix Hanks flaws. Bring someone in who isn’t interested in being his friend and bakig him god damn brownies when he has a good practice, and let him know what he needs to do to be the best goalie in the NHL.
