News and insight about the New York Rangers by Rick Carpiniello


It’s go time!

Posted by: Carp - Posted in Uncategorized on Mar 06, 2010

OK, enough about Gaborik’s groin, or whatever it is, or whether he should have played or shouldn’t have played that last game for Slovakia.

Whatever. He’s supposed to come back tonight, and we’ll see if he’s OK or not.

Alex Auld is the scheduled starter in his Rangers debut—if I’m not mistaken he’s the fifth goalie the Rangers will have used in a game this year. He starts against Jose ThreeOrMore and a Capitals team that will give you some, but will take plenty. You recall the last meeting:  that 6-5 come-from-ahead loss on Garden ice. Lisin and Voros are prucha’d.

I think a point out of D.C. would be a good point no matter how it happens. No?

See youse during the game.

  2. Carp

    Good evening, Sally!

  3. tr-808

    lol
    LETS GO RANGERS!

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

    Dubi already has that “I’m gonna yell at you” look on his face.

  5. beth

    hey folks! Won’t be able to catch the whole game tonight.. :( date night going to see Alice in Wonderland later!

  6. ilb2001

    Good evening! Was just going to make a point about Gaborik, but am very glad Carp turned the page. He is playing tonight. And, hopefully, no damage done.

  7. Noremry

    LGR. Auld is definitely in net?

  8. Shoryuken on Glen Sather

    So does this mean LQ plays the last 17 games after this one?

  9. Dopplerbob

    Yes Auld is big in net tonight.
    Good test for him
    Maybe the D will be up to the task a little more than the last game with him in net

  10. RangerSwede

    GO GO GO!!

    I’ll probably fall to sleep in the first intermission with all this drinkin… but what the hell!

  11. Shoryuken on Glen Sather

    LOL RangerSwede, be more like your Norwegian brothers, know when to say when haha

  12. Buff

    March 6th, 2010 at 6:45 pm

    RangerSwede..

    You cant have the Olympics because the NHL season is way too long and they have way too many teams to have the time to make in the offseason..another good argument to say what I am saying for years :)

    But when you claim i am getting oblivious you are maybe right but truth to be told in the midde between of both is a speaker and above a very little cute koala out of fabric watching all the action with me :):):):)

  13. ilb2001

    Flying back home tomorrow, will watch the game later. LGR!!!!!

  14. Sally

    Good evening again, Carp!

    How was the fire Sather rally??

  15. Shoryuken on Glen Sather

    I love the look on Torts’ face when Sam is asking him questions, like “OK, remember not to curse, no F-bombs.”

  16. Buff

    Which is the best link to follow the rally tomorrow, Carp ?
    or CCCP????????

  17. Adam

    Over/Under on Caps’ goals tonight: 4.5

    Would you take the over or under?

  18. RangerSwede

    Buff

    LMAO!

    Summer Olympics? LOL

  19. Adam

    BTW, that is not a bet I just want to see what everyone thinks about the number I made up.

  20. Koala

    five to 7pm ….

  21. Koala-Buff

    Rangerswede-you confuse me :)

  22. CR9

    Over/Under on cheap penalties against the Rangers tonight: 2

    I’ll take the over.

    Over/Under Penalties committed by Capitals that are “conveniently” missed: 2

    Push

  23. Buff

    Gabby playing tonite

  24. Buff

    ooh i have Caps feed..bäääääääääh

  25. Noremry

    The Crosby lovefest is on NHL Network-little Crosby to Olympic Crosby

  26. Adam

    CR9, personally I think it is weak to talk about the refs in all sports. Everyone thinks their team gets screwed and it is a bunch of BS. I love when people bring up calls that were bad against their team but never bring up the ones that they got in their favor. It is just a poor excuse in my opinion.

  27. James (G)

    All aboard the pain train!

  28. CR9

    Adam

    I respect your opinion.

    Referees can be the difference in the games, not just with NY teams. They insert themselves far too often and are never consistent. The problem with referees is many of the calls are subjective, so it’s based on their discretion.

    2 seconds left, Stanley Cup Finals Game 7, the cheapest icing you will ever see. If we had lost that game, I wonder if you’d blame the referees? I blame them even though we were victorious.

    For all intents and purposes, they tried to steal away a Stanley Cup!!!!

  29. Buff

    Totally agree Adam, I got in some discussion with some Red Wings fan on hockeystreams about this…:)
    They talked conspiracy !!! What a stupidity !!!!

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

    I think the refs would do their job a little better, only if they were able to wear anything other than those zebra shirts.

    Just a thought.

  31. Buff

    Game starts now at Verizon Center !!!!

  32. CR9

    It’s kind of funny that anyone on here would dismiss the idea that referees are biased, considering everyone here makes the claim that the referees favor Sydney Crosby and the Pens.

    Conspiracy? Not really. Fact? Possibly.

  33. CR9

    1 fair call from referees!!!!!!!!

  34. CCCP

    Buff

    the link i posted in the last thread should be good…

    LET’S GO RANGERS! Gavnorik is splaying. :)

  35. Buff

    thanks cccp, okay tomorrow from 4.30 pm ????

  36. LW3H

    Now I’m annoyed. I get the non-MSG feed virtually all season but now, when I’m desperately hoping for Beninati, I end up with Sam and Joe Mich.

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

    There’s that great NYR PP !!

  38. kern

    DelZotto equals shakey

  39. CCCP

    but the better “link” will be if you come to the rally! i find it funny that people b!tch and moan about getting rid of Sather and when time comes to actually make something that counts many people “cant” come…its freaking Sunday!! What else you got to do?

  40. LW3H

    Actually scratch that. Joe Mich: “Chimera is big and strong…”

  41. Chris Says SELL SELL SELL

    woooah auld

  42. 4generations 4 cups

    did Joe just say we have nobody designated as a fighter-type? Is Jody Shelley a natural scorer?

  43. JBytes

    Washington is begging for a goal. Please oblige!

  44. AREG

    Not a bad start…good forechecking pressure down low but shakey as always on the backend…probably gonna be another high scoring game

  45. Buff

    CCCP I am sitting in Germany !!!

    I need to go to internet

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

    4GEN

    He was talking aboot the Craps.

    Proving that it’s a waste to have this guy in the lineup. He literally offers nothing. No goon to fight, he’s slow, and he doesn’t score goals. Should have played Voros, so he can bust up Bradly again.

  47. Olga Folkyerself

    FIRE SATHER!

  48. Buff

    Auld looks sharp in net…

  49. kern

    Redden equals Useless

  50. CCCP

    Buff

    that is no excuse! :P

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

    Who’s gonna score on this PP ??

  52. CTBlueshirt

    Crosby would have been proud of that dive.

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

    Ahh, Staal, the best of the 4 brothers….NOT

  54. CR9

    We’re half way to the over/under on cheap penalties.

    The stick is in our guy’s chest, and it is holding the stick, but not a hooking.

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

    WOOOOW

    No penalty ??? No penalty shot ?????

  56. CR9

    A makeup noncall.

  57. CR9

    We know Bill McCreary is not reffing this game, as Bill would have sent our guy to prison for that penalty shot trip.

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

    Auld looking pretty good.

  59. Krisy

    LGR!!!

  60. nice one orr

    too soon

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

    Didn’t think Fehr would be the guy that scored, but i knew someone would score.

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

    NYR not making life easy for Auld. Poor guy.

  63. Tank The Season

    Wow Aulds only been here like a week and he already figured out he’s faster than Rozsival.

  64. Tank The Season

    Oh and if anyone wants my prediction for this game, I believe Clubber Lang put it best…

  65. Buff

    CCCP I am sure you guys celebrating a revolution even without me personally :)

  66. CTBlueshirt

    And the Rangers have gone into their “throw the puck away” mode.

  67. tomb

    two giveaways in the o-zone by Gabby already

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

    Make that three, tomb

  69. CTBlueshirt

    Caps getting away with a lot of clutching and grabbing.

  70. AREG

    alot of non calls on the rangers…looked like christensen cally and co were getting their *** kicked in the offensive zone!

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

    They didn’t call anything for NYR because of that missed call.

    That should have been a PS for Green.

  72. bklynblue

    a stick up in Stall’s chest is not interference? But Avery’s stick up is?

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

    Du-gay is clearly high on some kind of fancy drug.

  74. Carp

    where is everybody?

  75. AREG

    rangers look good downlow…just waiting for a bounce or two

  76. CCCP

    ...i’m here, just got nothing to say.

  77. Carp

    me too. or neither.

  78. JBytes

    Washington is not even playing that well, yet we cannot score a stupid goal against Theodore.

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

    Anyone else yawning ever 5 minutes??

    This games putting me to sleep.

  80. Olga Folkyerself

    It’s a snoozer…

  81. LW3H

    I’m here, I’m just saving my comments for my employer…

  82. Carp

    dubinsky made about four awful plays on that goal, starting with the soft body check when he had a chance to light up Morrisson.

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

    These bad games are making me thirsty.

  84. AREG

    please SHOOT HIGH on theodore.

  85. JBytes

    Auld might ask to be put back on waivers if this team continues to be so pathetic.

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

    Green looks a bit “stocky”

  87. Tank The Season

    Season over, kiddies?

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

    Most likely.

    Hopefully we get 0 points in the remaining games.

    Top 3 pick !

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

    Pruuuuuuuuuuuuuuucha, with his 12 of the season.

  90. Olga Folkyerself

    Season Over? Hell no! Dolan has a lot more money to make by April.

  91. CR9

    bklynblue March 6th, 2010 at 7:52 pm

    a stick up in Stall’s chest is not interference? But Avery’s stick up is?

    Thems the rules of the new NHL.

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

    Orr gives Carkner another bullying.

  93. Leetchhalloffame

    Fire, Fry, Filet, Forget, Flip, Freak Sather! Fright & Fear that he might be running this team for another Forty or Fifty years.

  94. CR9

    A PP!

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

    If they get shutout by Threeormore, that would actually be funny.

  96. Pavel Vikingstad

    Can we please tank? We’re gonna get swept as the 7 or 8th seed.

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

    I’d rather miss the playoffs than get swept by the Devils.

  98. Tank The Season

    I’m all about going 0-fer for the rest of the year.
    Lottery pick here we come.
    Fire Sather rally is tomorrow!!!

  99. Pavel Vikingstad

    I’d rather get a lottery pick. Just f’n look at Pittsburgh, Washington, and Chicago, specifically.

  100. Tank The Season

    I think Torts is done if no playoffs this year too.

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

    This garbage needs to end already.

  102. Tank The Season

    Would anybody rather have Gretzky coach this team than Tortorella at this point?

  103. dore33

    Only the NHL can screw up the momentum of the olympics…I pray for the old NHL to come back…make the rinks larger and purge at least 3 teams starting with Atlanta and both Fla teams…no one in the south cares and it waters down the league. Rangers are a team of individuals. Starts from the top and works its way down. They skate around and have no clue what they are doing…that is coaching or lack of. Torterella does not know the X’s and O’s of hockey…say what you want about Renney but they at the very least had assignments and they worked as a team…The Rangers need “young” blood to come into the front office and behind the bench and I don’t mean Messier… Does anyone think Lou would allow this to happen in NJ. NEVER!!

  104. JBytes

    Did Ovechkin leave his JAM back at the Olympics? No goals in last five games?

  105. JP

    This team needs some sort of a change, whether its coaching, staffing, or players… they are just so boring to watch and generate little to no offense game in and game out.

  106. CR9

    OV has been waiting to face the Rangers, as the start to his 2nd half of the season.

  107. CR9

    These 2 giggling buffoons, Joe and Sam, are touting Caps fans.

    Is there really any such thing as a Capitals fan?

    An OV fan, maybe, but certainly not a Caps fan.

  108. JBytes

    Great, Girardi got tripped by an ice chip!

  109. James (G)

    It’s amazing how they’re about to get shut out by a goalie theyve been lighting up since last year’s playoffs.

  110. JP

    The whole team stands still while everyone skates around them.

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

    Fire Jim Ramsey!!

    He hugged Crosby. Enough said!!!

  112. noonan

    need to score ASDFJKAEWSFJASDKF

  113. Chris Says SELL SELL SELL

    Just think if hank was in net they would be playing worse because they would lean on him to bail them out every sec

  114. JBytes

    >>Fire Jim Ramsey!!
    >>He hugged Crosby. Enough said!!!

    Ah, Dubinsky must have learned from him then.

  115. CR9

    Where’s Linda? Did someone throw her out the winda! ;)

  116. JBytes

    Has Jody Foster had a fight since coming here?

  117. Chris Says SELL SELL SELL

    now dubi will get benched the whole team should be infact

  118. JBytes

    Oh PUH-LEEZ! We couldn’t score a single goal in 56 minutes and now these talking heads are putting it all on Dubinsky’s head for taking a penalty? Tchiiiiiip!

  119. CR9

    What are these idiots talking about strategy for. The game is long over.

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

    Of course

  121. Chris Says SELL SELL SELL

    wow

  122. CR9

    Bill McCreary is refereeing this game.

    Hmmmmmm….Not suspicious at all, that he called us for 4 penalty minutes in the last 4 minutes of the game, to close the game out.

  123. CR9

    THANK GOD this lowlife McCreary is retiring after this year, and we no longer have to see his scumbag mustache on his fat disgusting putred face!

  124. Raider

    That was fun!

  125. CR9

    Great game by Auld!

    Looks like we played better w/o Gabby!

    Bruce Boudreau is a Yankees fan, so I’m gettin on the Boudreau bandwagon (it’s large enough to fit me, right?)

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

    1st shutout of the season for Threeormore.

    I blame Dubi for the loss, just because i can.

    I love America !

  127. JBytes

    Yah, it’s Jose ThreeOrMore, unless it’s against the Rangers.

  128. LW3H

    Not suspicious at all if you’ve got players who repeatedly shown the indiscipline to take offensive zone penalties all year…

  129. Sather's WrapUp

    ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

    (DO NOT DISTURB)

  130. RickyM2

    Things ain’t so hot across the river either. Well at least we had a fun Olympics together.

  131. Hockeymon

    I thought they got pretty good goal tending. Not to pick on Avery, but I thought he was a lot smarter with the puck. His play seems to have gone south, along with most of the teams play lately.

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

    Gabby was pretty useless tonight. A lot of offensive zone giveaways, and just didn’t look good enough to play.

    He should just sit out the rest of the year. Save yourself for next season. Do your best Yogi Bear, and go into hibernation until September.

  133. noonan

    Bill McCreary is like the Grim Reaper. Remember him the the Penguins and Buffalo series in seasons’ past? Jesus. Thank god he is retiring.

  134. noonan

    Avery needs to stop just blindly throwing passes behind him when nobody is in on the rush. Skate with the puck a bit and if you get pinned, you’ll (hopefully) get help.

  135. noonan

    ^throwing passes behind him when he is behind the net facing the boards

    mah bad

  136. AREG

    not much to say about the game…thought we outplayed them for the most part but just couldnt put the puck in the net…take away the 5 on 3 goal and its a 1-0 game
    granted we didnt score but thats been a problem all year …gotta know the goalie youre playing against and play to his weaknesses and we didnt shooting everything at his pads

  137. noonan

    oh well we got tomorrow. goaltender’s duel: Miller vs Lundqvist!

  138. Carp

    boy, this is depressing.

  139. noonan

    meh that Pittsburgh loss was depressing. at least ATL is losing by 4 goals.

  140. noonan

    ANOTHER BIG DAY TOMORROW, BOYS!

    Rangers need to win this one. This is a statement game.

  141. TheMessiah94

    Where is Sather’s Wrapup? Or is he still sleeping??

  142. bklynblue

    the statement is….turn off the lights, the party is all but over…..add up the points needed from a possible 36 to get to 90 from 66…..good luck…...getting 24 of 36…....

  143. bklynblue

    excuse me only 34 points available

  144. Carp

    new post.

  145. fran

    Orr

    There was a time long ago ( giving my age away again), when Refs did NOT wear stripes. They wore white sweaters with the NHL crest on them. They were no better then, but there were fewer of them. A ref and 2 linesmen.Bill Chadwick was one of them.And I believe a guy named Leo Gravel.
