News and insight about the New York Rangers by Rick Carpiniello


It’s go time!

Posted by: Carp - Posted in Uncategorized on Mar 04, 2010

From the World’s Most Famous (not what I call it):

Marian Gaborik is definitely out, and John Tortorella sounds perturbed about it (although it’s almost impossible to know when he’s perturbed and when he’s not).

“He’s not playing,” Tortorella said.

When asked if it might be serious, Tortorella snapped, ”(Trainer Jim Ramsay) is going to tell me when he’s ready to play. He’s not playing tonight.”

Michael Del Zotto is back in, after that gory laceration a few weeks ago. Aaron Voros gets prucha’d.

I think the salute to the Olympians will be shown in the arena during the first timeout. Not sure if MSG will show it then or later on.

I asked Tortorella is he’s noticed that the break, especially for those who didn’t play in Vancouver, had a positive effect:

“I think for some guys the rest really helped,” he said. “I watched Gilroy’s game the other night. I thought it was one of the better games he’s played for us. Marc Staal was run down before the break. I think it’s going to help him. I thought against Ottawa we were really smart on the ice, as far as getting pucks in behind the D, not trying to do too much. I thought we were really good in a lot of areas and maybe that’s just the break, mentally. So the break was good. We were playing pretty well when we broke, we came back and played a good game. It’s about trying to be consistent here and taking it one day at a time.”

    def missed it

  2. tr-808

    wow. craziness. lets go rangers!

  3. ilb2001

    Carped! Yay!

    Jorek, the link for you:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W5S-H4uE0y0

    And I guess you missed it when we first started to use that phrase. Roughly translated, it means: “Get the %#@! out of our blog!”

  4. Carp

    During warmups, there’s a guy with a sign by the glass, and the sign said, “Hey Sidney, lose something?”

    And there’s a baby bottle and a pacifier taped to the sign.

  5. Tony from AZ

    Carp, if MSG is not the World’s Most Famous Arena what is ?

  6. ilb2001

    Carp, no diapers?

  7. hedberg

    CJP I don’t know about cindy’s reception the other night, but they are far from the dumbest fans. I have been to 6 games out there in the last 2 yrs. and you know what they are somwhat decent. No comparision to the DEvils who take my award. I know there is not many in quanity but the quality is beyond belief, just awful season ticket holders who don’t know the rules, any players and boo for the sake of booing. Best example is Rich Chere from the Star ledger maybe the single worst so called hockey guy in the media, but their area is gorgeous what a upgrade from the swamp.

  8. hedberg

    Corrected -the rock arena gorgeous

  9. NYRGuy

    I hope we don’t get embarrassed tonight…I’m sure Sid the Kid will make Sportscenter playing in NY…lets kick his rear and win our 4th in a row!

  10. Tony from AZ

    I agree hedberg , I’ve been to both jersey arenas. The swamp was a real dump. But the new one is outstanding.

  11. ORR..What Is It Good For ?!?!

    Torts should be pissed. His best player, and one of his only important forwards chose a useless Bronze medal game over his own team.

    Ugh, the thought sickens me.

    I honestly cant wait until this season is over. Another year of those three bad contracts out of the way.

  12. wicky...FrancoNeanderthal

    ilb
    we have the diapers here!! Hugs delivered and congrats on your carping!!!

  13. Carp

    The old Yankee Stadium.

  14. Tony from AZ

    I’m feeling good about tonight’s game.

  15. wicky...FrancoNeanderthal

    oh yes, i forgot that the last pens game was the dubi pulling a girardi game!!

  16. GoaliePG

    >about Koala’s goalie question from the last post

    They’re is probably a lot said by goalies that you wouldn’t see with the masks on. And they probably get a drink at more stoppages than not.

    I wouldn’t yell at a teammate or ref in any circumstances, but that’s just me. Some guys will. I think it would just depend on the personality of the players. Now that’s coming from a player from the lowest amateur ranks and not pro, but I think it would be somewhat the same.

    I think some goalies like to play mad just as sort of a way to keep focused. But I don’t know of anybody that plays the position a lot that doesn’t care.

    It really doesn’t do any good to put on a big show if something doesn’t go your way.

    ***
    Game vs. Penguins today so that means I get to see the game on the local tv.

    So let’s go Rangers.

  17. Carp

    Yeah, I wonder if anybody told Shelley about the captain getting punk’d.

  18. Shattenkirkheadzo

    Gianone should have asked crybaby how many PSI his lips are inflated to.

  19. ORR..What Is It Good For ?!?!

    Gianone asks the dumbest questions ever. MSG coverage is sad.

  20. NYRGuy

    John Giannone asks some really stupid questions IMO…

  21. ilb2001

    Yeah, wicky, I’m aware of your family’s averall diapers situation:)

    Carp is right: the world’s most famous arena is the old Yankee Stadium. The world’s most famous circus is Cirque du Soleil. The world’s most famous arena/circus- MSG.

  22. NYRGuy

    Good to see we’re on the same page Orr lol

  23. hedberg

    Carp, I loved the old Yankees Stdm. but your stretching it on 2 pts. A. it’s not a arena B.it’s not in use anymore. MSG world’s most famous arena, no doubt. If you don’t change your stance we will get you escorted out of the garden and invite CHITO boy back on the boards whatta say?

  24. Shoryuken on Glen Sather

    Dubi has fought much tougher guys than Crosby and would definitely destroy him in a fight.

    Over/under on how many times you’ll want to strangle Sam/Joe for licking Crosby tonight? I’ll go 6, and over.

  25. hedberg

    Gianonne is solid, atleast he know hockey and growing into a good play by play. The bosses are telling to take it easy with crybaby and @ this stage of his career he can’t do a Cherry act thank God. Better than Dugay,Joe M. Al T. and now Sam.

  26. NYRGuy

    Sorry, Giannone is not better than Joe M or Sam…I have no problem with either of them.

    Al Trautwig, maybe….Duguay-possibly, not Sam or Joe

  27. Tony from AZ

    That’s it for me. I got a DVR !
    LGR !!!!

  28. NYRGuy

    Plus Duguay lives like 5 minutes from me, so I’ll say Giannone isn’t better than him either lol

  29. ilb2001

    Same here. It’s got to get out a here time for me. LGR!!

  30. JBytes

    That Uniondale team gets Deb Kaufman/Placey and we’re stuck with Al Trautwig? Wonderful!

  31. Spiderpig

    Yay for Versus. I hope it’s the MSG broadcast!

  32. NYRGuy

    No Ponikarovsky, that’s good…

  33. NYRGuy

    Lol, there is one strong comment for Joe M regarding Staal

  34. JBytes

    >>Gianone asks the dumbest questions ever. MSG coverage is sad.

    You guys actually pay attention to these so-called interviews?

  35. wicky...FrancoNeanderthal

    what the hell is espn america??

  36. Izzy Mandlebaum

    Playing an out-of-the-playoffs Rangers game is a lot more useless than playing for an Olympic Bronze Medal.

    Tell me if you had the chance, you wouldn’t play for Jerkoffia or what ever country you’d represent.

  37. Spiderpig

    I thought it was funny that Crosby got booed while Miller was cheered. It’s all in good fun because the Pittsburgh fans obviously love him. Uh oh, Crosby and Malkin starting together.

  38. Spiderpig

    ESPN America is basically ESPN airing American sports out side of America. It used to be NASN.

  39. Carp

    Sign before game: “Hey Sid, take your gold medal and shove it up your great White North.”

  40. Izzy Mandlebaum

    Anisimov! Where’s he been?

  41. ORR..What Is It Good For ?!?!

    Sweet shot!

  42. JBytes

    Twisted Wrister! 1-nil.

  43. Pux

    1 shot: 1 goal

  44. Spiderpig

    Brilliant shot!

  45. JBytes

    Was that MDZ with that crunching hit?

  46. Izzy Mandlebaum

    HIT HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  47. CR9

    They are not going to call a penalty on Crosby….

    These sick referees!

  48. Spiderpig

    Wow, that was awesome. Lundqvist yelling at Crosby. It looked like a legit penalty that Crosby also embellished.

  49. Izzy Mandlebaum

    Kill Crosby!

  50. ORR..What Is It Good For ?!?!

    Why did Dubi hug him ?

    Ugh, Brash*t syndrome sinking in.

  51. JBytes

    Don’t hug the guy, Dubi! Pop him one and make it count.

  52. Duker

    NICE, love seeing Hank talk some smack.

  53. CR9

    Oh, they did, let’s see what the final tally is.

  54. Carp

    well, this should be fun.

  55. CR9

    You guys say that the MSG broadcast is Ranger jaded…

    but this sick punk Joe M is saying that it’s okay to shove a goalie b/c he came out of his crease.

    Joe M is nothing but a sick pervert who is obsessed with the bodies of other men.

  56. beth

    holy hell… way to go Hank for calling him out!

  57. CR9

    It’s time to start to attacking players.

    Just go after Fleury and Crosby and take away their Stanley Cup.

  58. CR9

    And the referees have cheated us again.

  59. ZzZz NYR ZzZz " Clutch it Up!!! " … says Greg L.

    Ranger hockey is BACK!!!!!
    F ‘N pussy , Dubi said, hahhaa there ya go ORR. He chased him down!!

  60. ORR..What Is It Good For ?!?!

    Fools.

  61. JBytes

    Rozsival got that penalty for taking out the referee earlier.

  62. Izzy Mandlebaum

    Another penalty! Looks like the fix is in…

  63. CR9

    Joe M – “There it is right there.”

    BUt when the refs conveniently miss penalties committed against us, he just says “refs are human” “they just missed it”

  64. Izzy Mandlebaum

    Refs tied it up.

  65. Winston

    MSG blacked out here. So sad:(

  66. JBytes

    What’s with Malkin trying to shove the puck back in the net after the goal?

  67. ORR..What Is It Good For ?!?!

    Umm, Dubi is the “F’n pu**y” he did nothing but talk. It’s always the same with Dubi, nothing but talk.

    He should have been a man and punched him in the bottom lip, but instead he hugs him and calls him names.

    Crybaby – 1
    Dubaby – 0

  68. Carp

    by the way, lot of people chanting USA during the melee with Hot Dog Lips.

  69. CTBlueshirt

    Wow Dru had Callahan in a good passing lane.

  70. Carp

    They’re doing the Olympic ceremony right now.

  71. ORR..What Is It Good For ?!?!

    JB

    Probably thought it went off the post. That’s what i thought at first.

  72. wicky...FrancoNeanderthal

    nice work rozy, great job slats not picking up a crease clearer!!

  73. Carp

    Crosby of course was booed loudly. Callahan and Lundqvist loudly cheered. Gaborik and Jokinen mildly cheered. Not much applause at all for Drury or Tortorella.

  74. CR9

    Go after them!!! Hurt people!

  75. CR9

    Referees again make themselves seen and heard loudly.

    They cheat us, and there are never any consequences for them.

  76. Winston

    I have always wished that MSG would play the ELO song “living thing” when Cindy comes to town. It’s the song where the guy yells, “I’m taking a dive!” repeatedly. With a spotlight on Cindy during that line.

  77. ORR..What Is It Good For ?!?!

    Does Shelley plan on fighting this season, or his he gonna wait until next season ?

  78. LW3H

    Have I ever mentioned quite how much I hate those shaved chimps, Steigerwald and Errey, on FSN Pittsburgh?

  79. Carp

    He’s waiting until March 14.

  80. CR9

    Jbytes

    He took like 3 or 4 swipes at it.

    Why?

    He’s a scumbag!

  81. JBytes

    Come on, Pete Shelley, intimidate a Penguin already!

  82. Carp

    Where is everybody?

    Good evening, Sally!

  83. ORR..What Is It Good For ?!?!

    This team is beyond pathetic.

  84. CTBlueshirt

    Look what happens when you drive to the net.

  85. Mr. Mackey

    That goal is bad. Mmm kay?

  86. JBytes

    Thanks, Mr. Avery for the turnover! May I have another please?

  87. CR9

    All this bum Joe is worried about is who will get credited with the goal.

    Cooke will go down as one of the best “yappers” in the game..
    Does anybody outside Pittsburgh even know who Matt Cooke is? In Pittsburgh?

  88. CR9

    We’ve got Wes McAuley as referee.

    Sounds Bostonian to me!

  89. ORR..What Is It Good For ?!?!

    I hate when NYR tries to get tough after the go-ahead goal is scored. Makes them look embarrassing.

  90. CR9

    “Prust got away with that one”

    Great home commentary from Joe.

  91. Spiderpig

    Lundqvist with terrible rebound control right now.

  92. CR9
    1. ORR..What Is It Good For ? March 4th, 2010 at 7:31 pm

      I hate when NYR tries to get tough after the go-ahead goal is scored. Makes them look embarrassing.

      Why?

      Every other team does it to us when they fall behind and they are not embarrassed. Rather, they get rewarded much of the time.

  93. CR9

    Alright, take Fleury out!

  94. Carp

    One of the best parts of being at the game is not having to listen to the gazillionth edition of “The Staal Brothers play against each other.”

  95. ORR..What Is It Good For ?!?!

    CR9

    Exactly, they get rewarded. But, we just look like morons, and babies.

  96. Jorek

    Aww I turned it on with the Rangers winning and its been down hill since then. I think they will come back though.

  97. CTBlueshirt

    Stop slobbering Crosby, please it’s sickening.

  98. JBytes

    Islanders are getting destroyed 4-0 by Thrashers, playing in an empty arena.

  99. CR9

    What poise by Crosby, says Sam.

    Diving to draw a cheap penalty.

    Cross Checking a goalie.

    What poise!

    I wish my kids had poise like that!

  100. beth

    I hate the Penguins so hard..

  101. Jorek

    I agree Beth.

  102. CR9

    These Rangers’ opponent lickers.

    You do not hear Tommy Heinsohn licking the opponents of the Celtics. He insults referees all game long.

  103. Jorek

    Lisin is playing better since getting waived.

  104. AREG

    why was Lisin on waivers? He works hard, moves his feet and shows potential as a young player beats 90% of the team.

  105. Izzy Mandlebaum

    One of the best parts of being at the game is not having to listen to the constant asinine Anti-Boston ranting.

  106. JBytes

    Is Joe Michelleti considered an Olympian because he was part of the broadcast “team”? He’s definitely speaking as if he’s won a medal.

  107. CR9

    Maybe we’ll get a 5 on 3, if the referees decide to be fair.

    Listen to Joe yell for Fleury… this #@$licker.

  108. Izzy Mandlebaum
    1. ORR..What Is It Good For ? March 4th, 2010 at 7:34 pm

      CR9

      Exactly, they get rewarded. But, we just look like morons, and babies.

      That says it all!!!!

  109. CR9

    SCORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    RIGHT BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  110. ORR..What Is It Good For ?!?!

    PIZZZZZZZZZZZZZZAAAAAAAAAAAAA

  111. Grabachev in IA

    clutch!!!!!!!!!!!

  112. AREG

    Captch clutch from his knees!!!

  113. beth

    ok well I know… Drury and all but that was a nice dirty hardworking goal

  114. JBytes

    That’s clutch from his knees. 2-2.

  115. Duker

    HOLY SH**** THAT WAS MY MOST EPIC CLUTCH GOAL I HAVE EVER SEEN HOLLYLYY STTTTJAKLDSJFAKLSDLF;ASDF

  116. Grabachev in IA

    nice one dru

  117. ZzZz NYR ZzZz " Clutch it Up!!! " … says Greg L.

    OMG!!!

  118. Izzy Mandlebaum

    Drury sweeps it in! Tied UP!

  119. CTBlueshirt

    That was a nice goal, good dig and swipe.

  120. Jorek

    Dru form his knees behind his back!

  121. ORR..What Is It Good For ?!?!

    Izzy, don’t call yourself a moron, and a baby, you gotta have a little self confidence. Haha

  122. Carp

    don’t look now, Capt. Pizza had three goals in his last six games, a 41-goal pace projected over a full season.

  123. Spiderpig

    Is there such a thing as a pretty garbage goal?

    There needs to be a fight soon.

  124. Jorek

    COme on guys end this period strong.

  125. Grabachev in IA

    clutch faceoff win. dru just filled his quota for the next month

  126. CR9

    I make one boston commment, and only to reference how i wish our scumbag commentators would act…and that’s asinine boston ranting…..

    LAUGHABLE!

  127. LW3H

    Within two minutes of the goal, FSN Pittsburgh give us both “Chris Drury has scored a lot of big goals in his career” and the LLWS video clip! It must be a league-wide mandate.

  128. Izzy Mandlebaum

    El Stupido! Don’t you recognize your own post? Or can’t you remember what you posted 5 minutes ago?

  129. Izzy Mandlebaum

    No CR9- pitiful…

  130. CapeBretonRangerFan

    After Sid’s incredible heroic goal last week in Vancouver, I am sickened by that act of obvious diving!! I love him, but I hate him right now!!!

  131. CR9

    That whole play was created by a Penguin tripping Marc Staal.

  132. dudley

    Salty- I want to hear it… THAT WAS A DIRTY GOAL by your favorite Ranger!

  133. kc

    Who injected Drury with personality drugs? What did this number 23 who is playing with effort and jam do with our mumbling, bored, gliding captain? Maybe Jagr gave him some advice at the Olympics about how to lead a team down the stretch?

  134. Pavel Vikingstad

    Ahh! Why aren’t my posts showing! I’ve tried submitting like 15 msgs since last night!

  135. Grabachev in IA

    jorek i know!! its great we tied it but i can see the way this game is going could be better for the pens with the chances given up

  136. Pavel Vikingstad

    Ah there we go, click my name for the Vikingstad themesong!

  137. CR9

    “These Rangers’ opponent lickers.

    You do not hear Tommy Heinsohn licking the opponents of the Celtics. He insults referees all game long.”

    That’s what I posted. That means I wish Joe M and Sam would act like Tommy Heinsohn.

    That’s not Boston ranting, jerko.

  138. ORR..What Is It Good For ?!?!

    Yeah, i joked and said “we look like morons and babies” and then you confirmed it, but it was just a joke man. I know you don’t really have a hobby outside of watching hockey, and stalking Carp, but i don’t think you’re a moron, or a baby.

    Eh, it’ll pass, don’t worry aboot it.

  139. Chris Drury

    New and improved with silver mouthpieces!

    Im not going to let a sliver medal ruin my pizzeria and $8.5million dollar pay check

  140. Grabachev in IA

    pavel- that happens to me sometimes too. just refresh it once or twice. your post will be there.ha ur outdueling yourself and posting too fast

  141. Cross Check Charlie

    Captain Clutch is IN DA HOUSE!

  142. Jorek

    Grabachev . . . .they could surprise you . .. . how does the saying go hope springs eternal?

  143. ORR..What Is It Good For ?!?!

    Another shift by Shelley wasted.

    I’ll never understand this. What’s the point of having a goon in the lineup, if he wont fight ?

    Voros should be in, not him.

  144. Grabachev in IA

    whats up with the scoreclock? anybody see it said 2 minutes left after it had about 30 seconds left?

  145. CTBlueshirt

    Good thing Malkin didn’t try his patented slew foot.

  146. Miami Pimp

    I hope someone drives the zamboni over Crosby’s face

  147. JBytes

    I love the look on Prospal’s face while talking to the referee.

  148. CR9

    Fugly Russian going after Callahan.

    Scumbag.

    If we fall behind in this game, we ought to send Shelley in there with a Marty McSorley.

  149. NYRGuy

    Wow sick period…

    And I can’t believe I’m about to say this, but…WE’RE PLAYING LIKE A TEAM!!!

  150. Grabachev in IA

    why does versus have msg’s coverage? and on top of it, they call it” bonus coverage”. its sam n joe, whats the bonus? we get to hear words like thick, pretty,moist n meaty instead of waffleboarded and backside bang bang??? great period though. for a minute i was lovin duby n hank pickin on crybaby, but then rozy had to do what hew best at that idiot!!

  151. NYRGuy

    Al’s really tryin to get Dubi to say somethin about Crosby…

  152. JBytes

    >>Fugly Russian going after Callahan.

    There’s one way to tame that Russian.

    Tell him this is an Olympic game.

  153. NYRGuy

    Grabby…they were airing TSN’s TOR/BOS game during the NYR game…

  154. Grabachev in IA

    wheres ranger909??? where u at homeslice?

  155. JBytes

    >>Al’s really tryin to get Dubi to say somethin about Crosby…

    He didn’t bite! Dubi must have had a talking to by the MSG PR folks after his “little baby” comment last time.

  156. NYRGuy

    And where’s Linda??

  157. hedberg

    After that 1st period if you think Joe.M is better than Giannone your either Deaf or a relative of Joe

  158. Matt

    I miss Colton Orr. Why did we have to sign Donald Brashear?

  159. Shoryuken on Glen Sather

    CR9, I don’t think he’s talking about just tonight, every day we hear about this Boston conspiracy that only you see, just let it go man.

  160. Grabachev in IA

    anybody know why torts is so on edge tonight? sam said somethin and from carps post, he was agitated about gabby maybe. i understand cuz the guy just cant stay healthy. he worryin about his job maybe? anybody think torts could be out soon if we miss the playoffs? i know hes gotta be at least a little worried that renny could do it 3 in a row but he might miss in his first year. even though its sort of a restructure of teh team this year

  161. wicky...FrancoNeanderthal

    kc
    the only advice jagr could give anyone is how to play only one zone only part of the time!!!!

  162. Jorek

    That was a good period hope the next is better.

  163. Grabachev in IA

    hey shor!! what up norway!! vikingstad!!!!

  164. hedberg

    please , please i’m beggin’ ya no more Voros should be in the line-up. He’s 3rd line in my roller hocket league a beat up some guy hands with his face over the olympic break

  165. CR9

    there is no boston conspiracy.

    It’s simple:

    Bostonians, in general, are scumbags. There is an exception here and there, but they are few and very far between.

  166. Matt

    Mike Keenan will be the next Coach of the New York Rangers…After Torts is fired for missing the playoffs =/

  167. Shoryuken on Glen Sather

    Grab

    Cross-Country skiing for the win, right?

    And LMAO at whoever said tell Malkin it’s the Olympics.

  168. MickeyM

    AHAHAHAAH!

    I asked for Dubi to punch Crosby and for all intent and purposes he did. Made my crappy day SO much better.

  169. Nessier

    Hedberg, I could be wrong but I think Giannone only does play by play, and I don’t know whether he could analyze a game the way Joe could. Joe sometimes has crazy opinions, and it annoys me that he always says things in question form (“this game has a playoff feel to it, doesn’t it?”), but he has a good eye for the game IMO.

  170. Izzy Mandlebaum

    Torts has to know that If the Rangers miss the playoffs and someone has got to go, Sather will see to it that the right coach is punished…

  171. Shoryuken on Glen Sather

    Mickey

    It’s all about how you define punch, right?

  172. Grabachev in IA

    how can they have the toronto game on at the same time? nyrguy? i know it said on my tv guide either the ranger or the toronto game. i figured i get the TO game since im out west. but bill patrick kept saying bonus coverage when i saw nothing of any other game.

  173. Pavel Vikingstad

    New Penguins’ jersey:

    drury scored from his knees. the saltmeister can’t be happy

  175. Shoryuken on Glen Sather

    Hey Grab, how do you know a Swede has used your computer?

    There’s white-out on the screen.

  176. Jorek

    I hate these new geico commercials!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  177. tomb

    bonus coverage because versus didn’t have this game on their original schedule Grabs. they picked it up trying to pick up on the olympic buzz.

  178. Matt

    Sather needs to give up his GM position and just stick to being President/Chief Operator. He’s a great scout but he sucks at signing and his mediocre at trading. I mean every once in awhile he’ll pull a great trade out of his fat *ss but most of the time it just screws us in the end. Let Shoenfeld be GM, and ppppplease fire Torts. Ken Hitchcock is perfect for this job.

  179. CR9

    I hate most referees!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  180. Grabachev in IA

    i could see that happening matt. torts looks like he just got done begging gabby to play to save his job so he doesnt have to go back to tsn and talk smacvk about avery again. melrose took his place right? hes gonna have to go to versus and fight brian and kieth for their spot. better yet, id rather watch him fight darren mccarty for the 4th spot lol

  181. Carp

    CR9, Boston is my favorite city in America, outside of New York. And I have a lot of friends and relatives up there.

  182. NYRGuy

    Torts isn’t gonna get fired, I would be extremely surprised if he did…there could be a million reasons why he’s on edge tonight…he might not even know why he’s on edge, he is human lol

  183. CR9

    And Callahan was penalized for nothing.

  184. kc

    Wicky, Jagr wasn’t brought here to play defense. The boring defensive system of Renney dragged down the whole team. Players like Jagr, Bure and Gaborik should be scoring goals, not playing defense. That’s what 3rd line grinders are for. Crosby and Ovechkin aren’t playing defense.
    And Drury’s job as captain is to pick up the team. That’s what Jagr did, and it sure would be nice if Drury would try. He’s playing well so far tonight.

  185. Grabachev in IA

    cr9- torts and sully are from boston.

  186. CR9

    Carp

    That’s nice. I’m not insulting your family. I should specify. It’s generally Boston inhabitants that are fans of Boston teams that are scumbags. Not every Bostonian is a fan of Boston teams.

  187. Grabachev in IA

    boston is a nice city. was very clean i noticed. liked it alot. dont like the fans but the citys cool

  188. MickeyM

    Shor, exactly ;)

    Besides, after the day I had, I’m allowed to color anything with roses, lol.

  189. Grabachev in IA

    rozy!!!!!!!

  190. Matt

    ROZY’S GOT A CANNON!

  191. beth

    did Rozi just shoot that??!! DAAAAMMMNNNNN

  192. CTBlueshirt

    Rozi WTF!!!!

  193. Izzy Mandlebaum

    Rozi!

  194. CR9

    I know. Torts is a scumbag with an attitude that he is holier than thou, but I’ll give him a break since he’s a NYR coach…

    unless it comes out that he intentionally sabotages our team, which I would not be surprised at.

    I knew Sully was too, do not know if he’s a scumbag, but since he is with Torts, I can only imagine that scumbags stick together….

    SCOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORE!!!!!!!!!!!!

  195. Grabachev in IA

    look at that smile!!!

  196. MickeyM

    Holy CARP! What a shot by Rozi!

  197. JBytes

    Our future looks quite Rosy, yes? 3-2.

  198. ORR..What Is It Good For ?!?!

    I was gonna say that before NYRGuy.

    I’m glad Dubi didn’t say much aboot Crybaby. I’m sick of his big mouth.

  199. ORR..What Is It Good For ?!?!

    Unreal

  200. ranger909

    Grabby, right here. I’ve chimed in recently but not much. All i said was that i saw a comment from “a local fan” on gross site

  201. ORR..What Is It Good For ?!?!

    Too bad he couldn’t shoot like that a few times before the deadline.

  202. Grabachev in IA

    yea rozy just calm as could be roofed it beth. pretty cool to see the guy get 1. love when the guys we rag on score!!

  203. CR9

    maybe fran, earlier this morning, was seeing the future.

    playing together as a team? check

    rozi coming out from under a spell? 1 goal, check.

  204. Grabachev in IA

    cant wait to get my rozy jersey. will u sign it 909 when ur rap career takes off?

  205. Grabachev in IA

    909- i havent seen u on here in weeks.

  206. Darren

    Yikes Del Zotto leaving Girardi and Lundqvist out to dry yet again. Maybe it’s time to get him some AHL minutes.

  207. out0fyourelement

    screw that FIRE SATHER rally! the Rangers look like cup contenders against the Penguins! Drury AND Roszival score? I’m so glad we have them locked up for the next 2-3 years! Sather = genius

    (that was sarcasm)

    1 Game of Flare vs 10 Years of Mismanagement

    stay strong people!

  208. ranger909

    haha. I commented yesterday bro. I tried chatroullete a couple of weeks ago. I don’t recommend it. haha. Is it possible that we’ve gotten our act together and are now going to play as a strong team that scores 3 goals a game now?

  209. Carp

    they just said something about Potvin’s ducks again.

  210. Grabachev in IA

    we do realize theres half a game to be played still i hope

  211. CR9

    YAAAAAAAAAA…

    They just hit our goalie…. Thats a penalty….

    We took down Red face Ruslan.

  212. MickeyM

    Did someone just clear the crease?

  213. Grabachev in IA

    909- word. i sometimes skip ahead of comments cuz i dont feel like reading hundreds of them

  214. Carp

    I would add that there are fans of other teams in New York, and fans of all teams in Philly, who are worse than Boston fans.

  215. Grabachev in IA

    girardi just plowed fedotenkrat i think. was that him?

  216. Darren

    @Grabachev I think that was Shelley showing his new mates how it’s done

  217. Carp

    what kind of sucker do you have to be to go to one of those viewing parties at Foxwoods?

  218. ranger909

    MY DREAM HOUSE

  219. Pavel Vikingstad

    Musicals are teh ghey.

  220. Grabachev in IA

    i think torts needs to start worrying now. they look like month old brown and white dried dog crap out there.

  221. ORR..What Is It Good For ?!?!

    The orgasm Sam gets after a “header” is pretty frightening.

  222. Grabachev in IA

    yea bobsled baby!!!

  223. wicky...FrancoNeanderthal

    grabby
    i think it was shelley!!

    kc
    jagr was just as bad a captain as drury, sorry to break it to you!

  224. ChrisOD

    I think Sam just said Cindy Crosby

  225. Grabachev in IA

    hahah crosbatch!!!

  226. MickeyM

    PP. Add another boys

  227. Grabachev in IA

    ok i knew it couldnt have been girardi. what the f kinda pp is this??? weak!!!

  228. CR9

    Carp

    Yep. There are Boston fans in New York.

    New York fans are not arrogant and cruel like Boston fans.

    I’ll just repeat again. An entire section of Red Sox fans, a few weeks after 9/11, berated me with insults, including “NY deserved 9/11”, because I had Yankees gear on. They are scum. To take sports to the level of being happy about death is SICK!

    Philly, well, they are ##$holes, but their teams do not cheat to win Super Bowls, get handed players that in turn give the teams championships, and are not benefited by referees like the Tuck rule. They have 1 championship in 25+ years.

  229. Darren

    F&$(ing Del Zotto getting himself trapped up ice on the power play again. This is ridiculous. He can’t keep getting all those PP minutes

  230. Grabachev in IA

    duby!!!!!

  231. CR9

    SCOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  232. ranger909

    YES DUBI

  233. Pavel Vikingstad

    Dubi!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  234. ORR..What Is It Good For ?!?!

    Sweetness!

  235. MickeyM

    WOOOO! Dubi!!

  236. beth

    way to get that rebound off Fleury’s back

  237. JBytes

    Dubi hugs the net! 4-2.

  238. CTBlueshirt

    Dubi!!!

  239. Izzy Mandlebaum

    SCCOOOOOOORREEEEEEEEEEE!!

    Dubinsky! The puck goesinski!!!!!!!!!!!

    Yeah, he stinks…

  240. ChrisOD

    Good shot by Dubi!

  241. Grabachev in IA

    AGREE DARREN HES BEEN PUTRID THE LAST FEW MONTHS ON THE PP

  242. JBytes

    Chasing two goalies in a row?

  243. Izzy Mandlebaum

    Pens are pulling out their Johnson…

  244. ORR..What Is It Good For ?!?!

    The sounds of Dreary chomping on that mouth piece clearly screwed with “Flowers” head.

  245. Grabachev in IA

    sry for caps. got excited-sky!

  246. Izzy Mandlebaum

    CR9

    GET OVER IT!!!!!!!!!

  247. CR9

    That was offsides

  248. Grabachev in IA

    cmon?? mike rupp?? another bad turnoverr by prospal

  249. Izzy Mandlebaum

    Rupp-Roh!

  250. ORR..What Is It Good For ?!?!

    Pathetic.

    Rupp 4 goals against us this season…or is it 5 ?

    He should be in the box, not on the ice.

  251. MickeyM

    ARGH!

    friggin’ crosby. AND Rupp? GRRRRR

  252. CR9

    was that offsides?

  253. Chris Says SELL SELL SELL

    why does this team never fail to build us up for a let down….

    They need to score 2 more atleast

  254. Grabachev in IA

    we need to get the puck and keep it in the pens zone!!! this period sems to be taking forever and we scored 2 goals yet i feel like were losing!! why is that? thats right, that last home game against the caps. jut finish this period out with a lead. cant stand when guys like mike rupp score on hank.

  255. Nasty 1

    Why does rupp own Hank this year? Ugh

  256. CR9

    Izzy

    I was responding to Carp…..

    and I’m sure if I said “NY deserved 9/11” and you had a friend/family member that was a victim, you WOULD NOT be saying GET OVER IT.

    Hypocrite.

    Don’t even bother responding to my posts, you *&@hole

  257. Carp

    so some drunken idiots say something repugnant and you decide an entire state is nothing but dirtballs?

  258. Izzy Mandlebaum

    Boy did they do a number on you…. try therapy.

  259. LW3H

    Is Peter Gammons at the game tonight?

  260. Grabachev in IA

    christensen has a sweet shot

  261. Spiderpig

    This game seems so slow compared to the Olympics. I still have a weird feeling, and not a good one, about the outcome.

  262. Grabachev in IA

    Rupp-Roh!

    haha, simple stuff like this cracks me up sometimes

  263. MickeyM

    GUYS! Can we please stop fighting amongst ourselves and leave that to the teams on the ice?

    CR- Chillax man, or you will be severaly newspapered.

  264. ORR..What Is It Good For ?!?!

    I’m thinking the same thing Spider.

    After seeing Hank let Rupp own him, I’m not feeling confident.

  265. Sally

    Good night, Carp!

    Can’t believe I missed another goal by my little dude! So proud!

  266. CR9

    Carp

    that is only how my opinion began…. Much more has happened since to reinforce my opinion. I have come into contact with only one decent Red Sox fan in the last 9 years.

    let’s just agree to disagree. no need to continue to discussion any further.

  267. Grabachev in IA

    spider- thats cuz we spent 16 minutes in our end. we did enough to get by mostly, but not enough for the 3rd period.

    wow frolov only has 15 goals? same as duby

  268. wicky...FrancoNeanderthal

    If I haven’t mentioned it before, love the way prust plays, he is an absolute MUST resign!!! Him and avery on a line is great!!!!

    Izzy
    you are cracking me up!

  269. hedberg

    Got to keep hittin or big trouble is lurking. Keep hitting, good games from Dubi,Rosi and Avery so far. How good would Brooks Orpik look in NY blue? Favorite non Ranger

  270. Jive

    Yea in all honesty CR9, get over it. Hate the idiots not the city of people. I was at the giants saints game Christmas eve 2006 (or was it 07?). Gmen got blown out. Lots of Katrina jokes were overheard. Does that make you a moron bc you are from NY and so were the ignorant fans?

  271. Shoryuken on Glen Sather

    I can’t believe we let Rupp score again. But they probably can’t believe they let friggin Rozy score on them, so I guess it’s even.

  272. hedberg

    Carp nervous?

  273. MickeyM

    And btw, CR, two of my closet friends are Red Sox fans. And one of them drove THREE HOURS to come to my mother’s wake last June, stayed for 30 minutes and then left to drive THREE HOURS back home. Are you going to tell me that my friends are a-holes and get everything handed to them because they are Red Sox fans? If so, then please come to upstate NY and tell that to me and them in person.

  274. Spiderpig

    Yeah, haha, I knew there was a reason to feel bad about this game. It’s such a weird pace, so many whistles and no end-to-end action, but a little more play in our zone than theirs.

  275. CTBlueshirt

    CR9, I’m sorry about your loss on 9/11 and it definitely is uncalled for by anyone to say what they did but the anti-Boston rant has gotten beyond tiring. There are plenty of scum bags all across the country and NY has their fair share of them as well. And there are plenty of arrogant Yankees/Giants fans.

    As for you Boston conspiracy theory in sports or ESPN’s Boston’s bias, a big reason why their teams receive so much coverage is that across all sports they’ve had some pretty good to great teams this past decade. Ok, throw out the disputed “tuck rule” year, the Pats still won 2 more SB’s and played in another one. The Celtics won an NBA title not so long ago, the Red Sox had 2 titles and were on par with the Yankees and the Bruins had one of the best teams in the East last year. Teams that do well get lots of press, look at the Pens for instance.

  276. Nasty 1

    I wish I had a better feeling going in to the third. Gulp!

  277. Blogmama

    Wow! Just got home…heard part of the 2nd on the radio…what in holy hell? I heard positive things about Redden and Rozi? Was I hearing car horns? Lots to catch up on….later.

    LGR!!!!

    did liverlips get boo’d??

  278. Shoryuken on Glen Sather

    Mama all you need to know is Rozi > Crosby tonight, ha.

  279. JBytes

    Will Dubi reach the 20 goal plateau this season?

  280. MickeyM

    Shor, so far. Don’t count the chickens just yet…

  281. Nasty 1

    If we can get one early here I think we are ok. If not, sad van to frown town for sure. IMO the next team to score probably wins the game.

  282. JBytes

    >>I wish I had a better feeling going in to the third. Gulp!

    Well, I have a pretty good feeling that we’ll be lucky to get ONE point out of this.

  283. My Mom's Tougher than Giradi

    Mickey, what part of upstate u in??

  284. CTBlueshirt

    Goony goo-goo

  285. Anonymous

    Giant fans are not “arrogant”.

  286. Grabachev in IA

    yup nasty. just seeing bill patrick smirk before we go to teh 3rd makes me have this sick feling. i hate versus. we always seem to lose on versus and it always feels worse. i hate those clowns

  287. Nasty 1

    Gus, your wife is a bigfoot Gus.

  288. MickeyM

    My Mom’s (LMAO at the name, verry creative), you upstate too> Where?

  289. My Mom's Tougher than Giradi

    im in troy, right outside albany

  290. CTBlueshirt

    Cooke was holding Prospal along the boards

  291. Grabachev in IA

    damn it seems like its coming very soon. we need to not take chances like that cmon guys!!

  292. Carp

    nervous? why should I be nervous?

  293. Grabachev in IA

    jeez how lucky are we

  294. MickeyM

    What a save by Hank. WOW

  295. JBytes

    MDZ practically mugged Malkin in that scramble.

  296. Darren

    Del Zotto really has an interesting take on defense: just sit back and watch

  297. Grabachev in IA

    my god cmon rangers!!!! this crap is not acceptablke at home!! im pissed

  298. CR9

    I do not want to discuss it any further after this… there’s a game to watch and referees to complain about….

    MickeyM – I’m sure there are a few good ones, but I’ve only come across 1. Other thing, are you a Yankees fan?

    CT – You make good points. I partly agree with them.

    I just have one question for you about my so called Boston conspiracy. If Sean Avery played for the Bruins, do you think he would be hated by NHL fans and/or the media as he is with the NYR and was everywhere else he’s been?

    My answer is an emphatic NO. He would be LOVED 100%.
    I actually hope it happens one day, so we can all see the difference in his treatment.

  299. Miami Pimp

    these odd men rushes we’re getting against us are bush-league

  300. MickeyM

    Grabby- VERY LUCKY

  301. Nasty 1

    Should I start the van?

  302. Blogmama

    Shor, ha! still freaks me out. and you’re lucky I got that comment cause I sucked at math :)

  303. Izzy Mandlebaum

    Somebody give Rosen a nudge. He’s still in the second period.

  304. MickeyM

    My Mom’s- For reals? I know that area very well.

  305. JBytes

    Utility pole?

  306. My Mom's Tougher than Giradi

    ya mickey i went to the college of saint rose and now living in troy

  307. MickeyM

    CR, I’m a Mets fan. Have been for all of my almost 30 years. Nice try, though.

  308. Grabachev in IA

    izzy- lol just to make sure he knows where he is and what hes doing right? lol. hes old but yea i hope gianone doesnt replace him

  309. Peter

    Someone better tell the Rangers the period started before they find themselves down a coupla goals.

  310. MickeyM

    JBytes, it’s one o’ the new fangaled utility poles. They is METAl now, yknow :)

  311. CTBlueshirt

    CR9, I don’t think Avery has been well liked except by the home team’s fans by anywhere he’s played.

  312. CTBlueshirt

    Nasty that don’t impress me, you wanna impress me take the wheel.

  313. Nasty 1

    We need to get nasty and start hitting again.

  314. Peter

    they are just awful. We should have traded girardi – kid looks absolutely putrid tonight.

  315. MickeyM

    My Mom’s, Troy’s my hometown.

  316. Grabachev in IA

    hanks gonna make all these great saves and rupp is gonna shoot a wrister from the side and score a bank shot off hanks skate

  317. ORR..What Is It Good For ?!?!

    LMAO, what’s Aves doing ?

  318. Darren

    @Peter Girardi looks fine. It’s not his fault he has to cover for a clueless MDZ

  319. Grabachev in IA

    lmao aves!!!

  320. CR9

    MickeyM

    “Nice try, though.”

    What does that mean?

    CT

    I’m aware he’s been hated his entire career. And I am telling you Avery would be adored by everyone if he put on a Bruins jersey. And the referees would no longer cheat him!! (the referees is the key part)

  321. CTBlueshirt

    Tablot with his puddy cat paws.

  322. My Mom's Tougher than Giradi

    wow small world mickey

  323. JBytes

    Talbot was doing “patty cake”?

  324. ChrisOD

    That’s two minutes for making fun of the opposing player for Avery

  325. Jorek

    Avery just said “you slapped me?”

  326. ranger909

    that was hilarious by Avery

  327. Grabachev in IA

    we look so slow tonight. pens are in a much higher gear.

    orr- talbot started slapping at aves like semin did on staal and he was making fun of him

  328. Bob Sacamano

    I have time warner cable and i subscribe to NHL center Ice. The game is not on anywhere tonight. I am beyond irritated. It was supposed to be on Versus and its not. Anyone have link to it on the web?

  329. Jorek

    No Bob I have it on MSG

  330. Grabachev in IA

    this is gotta be our worst game yet. just bthat we got lucky and got some goals

  331. CR9

    talbot can laugh at any one of our guys, as he actually singlehandedly won a Stanley Cup Game 7 with 2 goals.

  332. CR9

    That’s a penalty!

  333. CR9

    How did that go in????????

  334. Grabachev in IA

    did i effin call it or what?

  335. MickeyM

    Are you kidding me? Crap.

  336. JBytes

    It’s not like we didn’t see this coming.

  337. ORR..What Is It Good For ?!?!

    Yup…I new that was happening.

  338. Nasty 1

    Of course. Awful.

  339. Izzy Mandlebaum

    Ewww. That’s in. Tied up.

  340. CTBlueshirt

    Gee, didn’t see that coming.

  341. Peter

    Yep, just like I said. 6-4 Pens.

  342. Jorek

    Damn

  343. Grabachev in IA

    i knew it would be a crappy fluke goal. wasnt crybaby in the crease?

  344. Blogmama....says, what the heck with the Boston stuff?

    Eff, tie game!

    This will be probably get lost in game thread, but trust me, I’ll repost if needed!

    I missed the start of the whole Boston thing, but I’ll tell ya, now it’s just boring me.
    Full disclosure: I have family in Boston. I went to college there (BU hockey rules!) And it’s a great city (right Carp!). Sports fans from lots of cities can be, um, icky. But this is getting silly, and beyond a sports rivalry.

    Here is the truth. The worst thing about Boston is the drivers. Lordy they stink! Oblivious! Awful!

    Can we move on now please?

  345. MickeyM

    CR- Seemed like you were implying that I was one of those arrogant Yankee fans that should be grouped into your “people I should hate on”

  346. Nasty 1

    All I know is, I get to his house, the guy has 13 monkeys. D’oh!

  347. LW3H

    Two goals put in their own net. Did Malik return at the deadline?

  348. Grabachev in IA

    we better be careful to kill this pp off and not give pitts the lead. although this is one of those gamnes they really deserve to lose. i cant get mad after watching them daydream through this game. they dont care i dont care

  349. MickeyM

    My Mom’s- very small world. I’m in Troy a lot, actually.

  350. Doodie machetto

    Everyone enjoy maxine’s hissy fit?

  351. Grabachev in IA

    get dz off the pp. hes so predictable and hasnt done jack for months now

  352. Nasty 1

    Will we even make it to OT? Tick tock tick tock. No shots on goal. Come on rangers, this is pathetic!

  353. Blogmama

    Hey, where’s Linda tonight? I’m still catching up here and trying to watch game.

  354. MickeyM

    We should petition the Pens to put Fleury back in.

    Win a faceoff, dudes. JEEZ

  355. Grabachev in IA

    worst game ever!!! hate to be a fan paying for ranger tickets. holy crap theres a playoff race guys!!

  356. My Mom's Tougher than Giradi

    hey mickey, u play golf??

  357. CR9

    MickeyM

    Nope. Not what I was doing at all. I figured you were not a Yankees fan, as your 2 closest Red Sox friends did what they did for you.

  358. Grabachev in IA

    dz is horrible. hes steadily gotten worse over the year. he needs to go to hartford. bring potter up. hes better

  359. MickeyM

    I’m glad I haven’t had dinner yet, I think it would be coming back up with how putrid the Rangers have been the past two periods.

    OTOH, I’m starving.

  360. Darren

    Can someone tell me how MDZ @ the point on the power play is any better than drury there?

  361. MickeyM

    My Mom’s, does mini golf count? If so, then yes.

  362. Grabachev in IA

    who was duby passing to????

  363. Nasty 1

    It’s like we forgot how to play.

  364. My Mom's Tougher than Giradi

    haha mickey, mini golf may count… if u know the main public course in troy, thats the place i manage and thus why im in troy

  365. MickeyM

    CR, My bad then. So you’re saying that Red Sox and Yankees fans can’t have compassion for each other? I’m sorry, but that’s wrong, I know plenty of both who are friends and have compassion and care for each other.

  366. CTBlueshirt

    I’ve never seen so many missed passes, overskated pucks, pucks over sticks.

  367. MickeyM

    Grabby, MDZ can’t go to Hartford. He has to stay with the big team. At least as far I know.

  368. Grabachev in IA

    this is worse than the washington home loss after we blew a 2 goal lead. they look like they played 3 games in 2 days

  369. CTBlueshirt

    How could the ice in the Pens end be that choppy, it’s not like the play has been down there that much.

  370. Nasty 1

    I’m glad I’m not at this game. I’d be piling up my ranch 1 for sure.

  371. Nasty 1

    I meant puking up my ranch 1.

  372. Darren

    poor girardi he’s all over the ice covering for del zotto. that shift was all tortorella’s fault. there’s no way MDZ should see any ice in the last 3 minutes of a tie game

  373. MickeyM

    They survived to get one. WHEW.

  374. ORR..What Is It Good For ?!?!

    Darren = Del Z’s Bro’s ex gf

  375. CTBlueshirt

    Gave a point away there boys.

  376. NYRGuy

    Wow…1 point…lucky

  377. Rjam

    I like the rangers. I’m a ranger fan. Rahgers!

  378. Grabachev in IA

    yea we all knew we wouldnt win, but id rather lose giving some damn effort than watch this display of an epic bendover bang bang at your home arena

  379. Nasty 1

    If Crosby scores the winner I am going to break something.

  380. MickeyM

    My Mom’s, Frear Park. I know it. Nearly got creamed in the circle there recently. Stupid people coming from 15th.

  381. Izzy Mandlebaum

    And Sather smiles and has another scotch…

  382. MickeyM

    Dubi, you are an idiot sometimes. SHOOT THE DAMN PUCK!

    They just cheated us again!

  385. MickeyM

    Color me surprised.

    Game over.

  397. MickeyM

    ZOMG! HANK!

  398. CTBlueshirt

    Wow what a save

  399. Miami Pimp

    Please, someone tell me why Crosby wasn’t called for that slash?

  400. JBytes

    The old glove, maybe; but you can’t score on Lundqvist’s new glove.

  401. Rjam

    Rangers have dub an cally tho

  402. Blogmama

    HANK!!!!!!!!!

  403. Pavel Vikingstad

    THIS TEAM!

  404. ORR..What Is It Good For ?!?!

    Sad

  405. MickeyM

    FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF!

  406. CR9

    I dont believe it.

    Just fire enough shots and one goes in.

    We fire 50 shots on Brodeur and get shutout.

  407. Grabachev in IA

    thank u rangers for a wonderful evening. i think im done for the season.

  408. NYRGuy

    GHEILGHSDILHGIFDHXCKLJV DAMNIT!

  409. JBytes

    That’s the story of the Rangers! Tease, tease, tease, then a BIG NOTHING.

  410. Nasty 1

    I wish Hank would break his stick right over Wade Reddens face.

  411. CTBlueshirt

    Thanks NHL.

  412. Izzy Mandlebaum

    BUSH-LEAGUE (as always)

  415. NYRGuy

    Well, good to see they showed up to play defense tonight!

  416. Pavel Vikingstad

    Sorry.

    I give up on this team. Go Chicago.

  417. Grabachev in IA

    i agree pavel. eff this team. goodbye. im done for the season. see ya guys in july

  418. ORR..What Is It Good For ?!?!

    I agree with Pavel, Fugg this team. Blowing a 2 goal lead in a game like this.

    Embarrassment. Hank should have stopped Rupp. It would have been a whole different game if he made that save.

  419. NYRGuy

    Hank should slash everyone in the face right now that’s in the locker room

  420. JBytes

    A good point, Joe? We were leading by TWO goals at one point. How is this loser’s point “a GOOD point”?

  421. My Mom's Tougher than Giradi

    ugh well that was terrible.. and ur right mickey there are a bunch of clowns when it comes to that circle

  422. Tank The Season

    We weren’t winning this but hey we got a point and bumbled our way into a playoff spot.

  423. NYRGuy

    Orr are you seriously going to place the blame on Hank??

  424. CR9

    Redden did not do anything. hank should break his stick over a referee’s face.

    Why did Crosby not get called? Not because it’s Crosby. Because it was against the Rangers.

  425. Duker

    PICKING UP MY WADE REDDEN JERSEY TOMORROW YOU GUYS WANT ME TO PICK YOU UP SOME??

  426. Spiderpig

    What a shameful performance. How were we even close? That’s a pretty crappy penalty call after what was let go earlier.

  427. PSU RANGER

    I AM SICK AND TIRED OF THIS… HOW THE HELL DO WE KEEP REDDEN AROUND? IF I WAS HANK I’D JUST QUIT… THIS IS SAD!

  428. Blogmama

    ...and then depression set in…

    sigh. I leave you to youse until tomorrow. ta (notice lower case and no exclamation point. mama is sad.)

  429. MickeyM

    UNFIRETRUCKINBELIEVABLE.

    Everyone on the team owes Hank a bj after this one. He got them the point.

    Torts presser should be fun, eh?

  430. CR9

    a big tease by the Rangers as usual, and the referees end the tease as usual

  431. Nasty 1

    Redden needs to see pine after that one.

  432. Chris Says SELL SELL SELL

    This game displayed two glaring problems with the product we watch.

    1. The Rangers for the life of them cant defend home ice even with a 2 goal lead.

    2. The NHL wants to know why people go crazy for Olympic hockey vs regular NHL hockey? The flow is so much better and there wouldnt have been a weak ass call like that late in a game to ruin the flow that was fantastic up to that point.

  433. Raw Deal

    what a raw deal hank got by playing for the rangers. If i were him, i would demand a trade. And if i were drury, i’d follow Hank out the door.. they both don’t belong playing in a building with a bunch of losers.

  434. Miami Pimp

    “They might remember this game as having gained an important point after being outshot …”
    WTF are they talking about?!!

    How about:
    “Remember that game in which we were up 4-2 and gave a point away?”

    For GOD’S SAKES … we are f’ing bush-league, including our announcers.

    Hey, guys … remember that time I nailed Redden’s wife?

  435. CR9

    and this braindead idiot Joe M saying that this is a good point for the Rangers!

  436. kc

    Please explain why Dubinsky is constantly on the ice instead of Jokinen? Sure Dubinsky scored, but how many boneheaded plays did he also make? Jokinen is a potential all-star, yet Dubinsky is floundering all over the ice.

  437. ZzZz NYR ZzZz " Clutch it Up!!! " … says Greg L.

    I hate malkin and all those retards on the homo Penguins team. We cant shoot WTF !!!!!!! Third period so fustrating ..I have to go GOOSE FRABBA all the hair back into my head from dumbazz Dubinsky NOT shooting!!! ARRRGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

  438. CapeBretonRangerFan

    So….anyone think the N.H.L. is fixed???? Hello people….wake up…phantom penalty brought on by Sid the Actor, and Redden’s hook in O.T.? Is anyone else sick of the obvious favortism towards Pittsburgh?

  439. JBytes

    >>Torts presser should be fun, eh?

    Very much looking forward to it. I’m not budging! Will “Brooksie” be there?

  440. Tank The Season

    Hai2U Anders Eriksson maybe?

  441. MickeyM

    My Mom’s, not as bad as the morons on Hoosick and the Lakes though. Someone is gonna get killed there someday.

  442. Chris Says SELL SELL SELL

    Raw you make it sound like Drury has done anything on this team to warrant him deserving better

  443. Tank The Season

    Are we in a playoff spot now?

  444. NYRGuy

    It’s like they just figured they’ll sit back and watch Hank do what he can to win and if he can’t, oh well.

    The first period wasn’t bad, it just got worse and worse!

  445. Raw Deal

    chris, drury is on a team full of born LOSERS. He is not a loser by any means.Maybe that’s why he’s having a bad season.Put him on a team with some winners and he plays well,case in point team USA

  446. Sather's WrapUp

    Hello Ranger Fans! Ahhh, It’s good to be back home at the Garden. I really missed the ass-groove in the seat in my Private Box. It’s all warm and snuggy and everything… Wait a minute, THAT feels weird… Ewww, and it smells like Ben-Gay and Old Spice. MUCKLER!! STAY THE HELL OUTTA MY CHAIR!!!!!!!!!!!

    Boy they really yell for that Crosby kid here; maybe I should look into trading for him before the playoffs. Wha? What’s that Mess? What deadline? Holy Hell, why didn’t you tell me? How can you make a mistake like that and expect me to make you GM next year!

    (singing) “Money, it’s a gas. Grab that cash with both hands, And make a stash… “ Oh there’s Dolan’s ringtone. Hey there, Big Guy! We did it again! Another sellout! Did you watch the game? You did!? No, that was Crosby. He’s not ours. Because they wanted Redden AND Rozival, that’s why! Maybe I should have thrown a few Knicks in the deal. Dantoni’s not getting anything out of them… (click)

    I was watching the MSG feed, and I saw that somebody put a Subway ad right on the glass behind the goalies. Now I know Dolan needs the advertising money, but how do the fans behind the net watch the game? Must be why the end seats are cheaper…

    I know Gaborik is out but we seem to be scoring well without him. You know, I don’t give Gaborik any credit at all for scoring with that shot of his. He should try it with Brashear’s shot. Then if he scored, he’d be great!

    Overtime is Marvelous! All the fans buy another round…
    Drink up!
    Uncle Glennie

  447. MickeyM

    JBytes, Brooks hasn’t been on the beat since that “bus stop incident.

  448. CR9

    “Is anyone else sick of the obvious favortism towards Pittsburgh?”

    Thats what you’re calling it?!?

    Is anyone else sick of the obvious bias against the Rangers?

  449. kc

    And what is the point of Jody Shelley? Voros at least can make a play once in a while. And he will fight. Shelley needs to hop in a town car up to Hartford tonight.

  450. My Mom's Tougher than Giradi

    ur right about that mickey i live off hoosick and its a disaster!!!

  451. NYRGuy

    PITT OUTSHOT NYR BY 39 SHOTS!!!!!

    39!!!!

  452. JBytes

    >.I hate malkin and all those retards on the homo Penguins team.

    Well, the Rangers team is made up of homo sapiens too, no?

    [All right, no more Pete Shelley references for tonight. I promise!]

  453. Izzy Mandlebaum

    Go Black Hawks!

  454. MickeyM

    This was just one UGLY UGLY game by the Rangers. Thank god we don’t see Pittsburgh again this season.

  455. Chris Drury

    Captain Clutch is back!!! I wasn’t gonna let the loss to Canada ruin my next 4 years! And I’m certainly not gonna let this loss tonight ruin my National Grammar Day!

    After CLUTCH goals in the Olympics against the powerhouse SWISS and NORWAY teams, Captain Clutch is back to show the rest of the NHL that LITTLE THINGS beat a goal medal any day!

    Did you guys see Captain Clutch’s CLUTCH “sweep from the knees” goal??? I learned that move from watching the curlers in Vancouver! Ha-Ha! Matter of fact, Captain Clutch practiced that same move in the hallway during games at the Olympics! I had to do something to pass the time! Sitting on the bench as the 13th forward got boring fast!

    Anyway, the key to the “sweep from the knees” goal (aside from being clutch, obviously) is to sweep very gently…like spreading tomato sauce on fresh pizza dough!

    Hockey historian Rick Carpiniello, a big fan of the clutch dump-in, said it best earlier: “The way Chris Drury is playing, I’d be surprised if he finished this season with less than 41 goals.” Say no more!!!

    /peels out in Clutchmobile

  456. Hockeymon

    They really didn’t play very good, but Redden taking that deserved hooking call was stupid. That took away any chance. The pens weren’t all that great either. They scored two flukes, so it could just as easily gone the other way. Once that penalty was called it was over for the Rangers. I thought the refs did a poor job. they didn’t call a lot of penaltys.

  457. Nasty 1

    Losses like this sting bad. Waste of a great performance by Hank. Not to forget a goal by Rozi, wahhhaaaaaaaa hahaha. Dru looked pretty good tonight, even besides the goal. Still though, just not enough. Off to Washington. Off to firetruckin Washington.

  458. nice game

    yo scoobie dubie clut man, drury scored against Team Canada dummy

  459. Blogmama

    I always lie about saying ta..

    Uncle Glennie! welcome back….where you been? Busy not trading?

  460. JBytes

    MickeyM: I heard that the Post sends in some other guy to the Tortorella press conference, then he reports back to Brooksie.

  461. MickeyM

    My Mom’s, which direction? East or West? (Ok, fine, I’ll admit, I live in Troy, too, off of Hoosick)

  462. Shoryuken on Glen Sather

    Re Joe M, how is it a good point when we had a 4-2 lead?

  463. wicky...FrancoNeanderthal

    grabby
    good call on the tying goal!!

    We had to watch the stupid pens broadcast online (thanks direct tv) and even the pens announcers said the officials let all the slashes go the whole game and call that in OT is ridiculous!!

  464. Blogmama

    And Captain Clutch!! Awww, I missed you!

    /mama peels out in Ta-mobile….

  465. MickeyM

    JBytes, wouldn’t surprise me if that is what the Post does.

  466. My Mom's Tougher than Giradi

    west mickey.. this would be pretty funny if we were neighbors

  467. MickeyM

    Uncle Glennie AND Captain Clutch? We ARE back into the NHL season.

    Shut up, Al.

  468. Grabachev in IA

    that was a game u lose in october, not when youre trying to get a playoff spot. they just never fail at blowing every lead. and any momentum they gained from the olympics, the 3 game win streak, chris drury playing better. none of that made a damn difference tonight. we lose an embarrassing home game and will probably keep losing because our star forward is a barbie doll

  469. Nasty 1

    We gotta win this race.

  470. Grabachev in IA

    thanks wick, but its been that way for us forever now. hank will play out of his mind and some shmuck player with 2 goals in his carer will score a crucial goal and a flukey one to either tie, or win the game. its almost like they want to lose. i havent seen such poor skating and poassing ever until now. hank must be serious about winning. the rest can care less and i mean by their play. im sure everyone wants to win, but you dont just win you have to earn it. i hate watching a team that doesnt give a shat

  471. MickeyM

    Yknow, Maloney made a great point there. They are the defending Stanley Cup Champs and thus know how to win, as much as it pains me to say that. As awful as the Rangers were tonight, Pens were better and luckier, plan and simple.

    Leetch is making GREAT points. They were fortunate to get the one point and they spent too much time watching the Pens and the puck instead of actually playing hockey.

  472. NYRGuy

    Dubi should do his hair like that everyday instead of that stupid part he does…I wouldn’t be caught dead with his hairstyle

  473. NYRGuy

    I kinda forgot Gabby didn’t play lol…

    Their offense seems alot better without him, as insane and crazy and ridiculous as that sounds

  474. NYRGuy

    Altho I’m sure they wouldve had some prolonged shifts with Gabby, thus decreasing the amount of Pitt shots

  475. Nasty 1

    Simplier. Lol

  476. AREG

    I kinda forgot Gabby didn’t play lol…

    Their offense seems alot better without him, as insane and crazy and ridiculous as that sounds

    Maybe you need to rewatch the game…outshot by 40 shots and scored 4 goals because of a goalie who got pulled…

  477. CTRANGER

    Just an awful call by Wes McCauley. Sam credited him early in the game, but he is a terrible REF!

  478. MickeyM

    My Mom’s, I’m off South Lake. Drive past your house/apartment every morning on my way to work, lol.

  479. NYRGuy

    AREG

    Maybe you need to re-read the posts and see what I said afterwards

  480. Duker

    Chris Drury posts make losses not so hard LOLOLOL

  481. MickeyM

    NYRGuy, I’m convinced Dubi watches Mad Men. That’s why he slicks his hair back like that.

  482. hedberg

    i’m glad I ate my tix for tonite but i’m not glad i watched the third period especially when you know what’s going to happen. Flyers game is the only one i’m head to, can’t take this team. You would think Pitt was desperate to get in the playoffs hun? See what happens when you stop hitting. Look @ the games in hand we aint as close as we think.

  483. NYRGuy

    Rotoworld called Drury’s goal a goal of the year candidate..it was nice, but not that amazing

  484. NYRGuy

    Hope this isn’t a 30 second Torts press conference they show

  485. MickeyM

    OK, folks, I’m out for a bit, need to finally eat dinner. Plus, the laptop battery is dying and need to plug it in.

  486. NYRGuy

    Oh great, no audio!

  487. My Mom's Tougher than Giradi

    hey mickey as a fellow troy resident do u deal with the ranger blackouts for the sabre home games?? that is royally a pain in the arse

  488. NYRGuy

    Avery got bounced off the puck alot tonight…where did everyone go?

  489. NYRanger4Life

    just got back from the game. My seats are in section 209 – have to say there were quite a few Pens fans in the arena tonight….

    Lisin needs to be scratched or waived ASAP – dude’s got speed, but he cant stay on his feet and gets knocked off the puck easier than anyone on the team.

    Drury played a solid game – as did Staal. Everyone else just kinda watched…

  490. NYRGuy

    Torts on the OT penalty call…

    “It’s a penalty…It’s a penalty…”

  491. hedberg

    Leetch sounds better and he’s right every night talent comes in Cindy,Malkin,Zac,Miller AO.We have such a shortage of talent it’s sickening. Should have blown this thing up with a blockbuster including trading our so called assets.

  492. Nasty 1

    So annoyed right now.

  493. Izzy Mandlebaum

    have to say there were quite a few Pens fans in the arena tonight….

    Disgusted Ranger fans selling their tickets…

  494. hedberg

    They aint getting my playoff cash after 18 yrs why pay for a movie u already saw?

  495. Izzy Mandlebaum

    Matteau! Matteau! Matteau!

    What happened to this team?

  496. Izzy Mandlebaum

    Sather happened.

  497. Shoryuken on Glen Sather

    That Game 7 made me the only 8 year old on Earth with ulcers. What a game.

  498. Seth

    f….......me! disgusted just got home from GROUNDHOG day again….i cant/dont want to go into the emotions im feeling right now…im going to plant my face in the pillow now just leave you all with some thoughts

    19-1, 19-1 the garden crowd was laughing when this was announced-STANDY BY FOR OVERTIME

    how many times since the post lockout have we been up two goals late in second and ended up only gaining with 1 point or less? how many times have we been down two goals and came back to get 2 points?

    and someone find me the answer to this—when was the last time the rangers pulled their goalie and came back to win? FLEURY 4 goals on 12 shots, then we get 4 shots the rest of the way FOUR WITH HALF THE GAME LEFT….12 shots with a decent PP on the 2nd goal that probably produced 3-4 shorts so besides that 12 shots the rest of the way then a PP with 8 minutes to go that almost cost us the one point we managed somehow!!!!

    and i GOT THE INVOICE FROM GLENN TODAY ABOUT PLAYOFF TICKETS F_)@$@$#@$ ME SERIOUSLY FW$@#$# ME

    good nite all-what a weekened to look forward to at WASHINGTON THEM HOME AGAINST BUFFALO
