The Rangers took the Flyers beyond the end of the regular season, beyond the end of Game 82. They also beat the Flyers three times during the season, twice down the stretch.
Granted, if the Rangers had won the skills competition they’d have gotten Washington in the first round, not New Jersey.
But my question is this:
Do you think, in a playoff series with the Devils, the Rangers would be in the same position as the Flyers, up 3-1?

Absolutely. First too.
Don’t know about 3-1, but I believe they would win.
Absolutely !
Good morning, Sally!
Chances are they would have been smoked by WAS or NJD 4-1.
Yeah, they would have a better chance against the Devils than Capitals. The Rangers would have a good chance to be at 2-2 based on the Devils inconsistencies.
Good morning, Carp!
I don’t know… maybe they would have just decided to create a super team instead with Ovie and Green and Lundqvist and Gaborik. Or maybe Torts would finally realize that all he needed to do all along was to put Jokinen behind the enemy net and tell him to inhale until the puck got sucked into the goal.
Carp,
way back when in sept. i posted here saying i thought the devils would finally miss the playoffs because of their situation with their dman and obviously they proved me wrong but in the playoffs the dman are more what i had pictured them to be way back when in sept and they have looked terrible, the talented/physical forwards on philly are just wearing the devils and dman down and are winning all the battles and loose pucks….i dont know if we would be up 3-1 because i dont know if our dman would be able to contain parise and kovalchuk and i think our dman would be worn down by the devils forwards but i think it would be a tight series-maybe 2-2 at this point and a coin toss in game 7 without OLI deciding the outcome!
Oh my bad, I was thinking if they went against Washington. NJ and the Rangers would never form a superteam.
I think the Rangers would have won the series in only 3 games.
From the previous post…
bulldog, if the Rangers wanna make me an advisor, I’ll do it in a heartbeat. And for much less money than Redden makes. :) In all honestly though, that is just my opinion on Kovalchuk. It could turn out the entire opposite way and I would be thrilled.
I would have loved to play the Devils first round (probably would have beaten them 4-2)but moot point because we would have gotten Washington and wouldn’t have beaten them. But love watching Chico & Dano cry each night.
LMAO @ Sally. Great insight! :)
I think Devils and Rangers would be tied at 2. Two teams that are very similiar and 97 out of 100 times play it close to the vest and on equal footing. We’d also get lots of entertainment from Avery v Brodeur ;)
in a word….. NO.
“Or maybe Torts would finally realize that all he needed to do all along was to put Jokinen behind the enemy net and tell him to inhale until the puck got sucked into the goal.”
Just choked on my coffee at this one. Bravo Sally!
As always, Sally = the voice of reason.
Hanks seems to own Fatso, so I think they might be up 3-1. The playoffs are all about matchups. The Rangers match up well with the Devils. They would be destroyed by the Caps, though. Not a good matchup.
Chico has gotten beyond intolerable when it comes to listening to him come up with excuses for the Devils and the brilliance of every little play a Devils player makes. The guy can’t admit that not only have the Devils gotten outplayed, they’ve gotten run over for long stretches.
It’s really funny to read how Devils fans are calling for similar things that the Rangers fans have been saying for the past couple of seasons. Get rid of Langenbrunner = Drury, Elias is washed up, Colin White/Mottau = R&R, Zajac = Inconsistent Dubinsky, etc.
Against the debbies we seem to rely on which Sean Avery turns up and whether our defense can shift David Clarkson from the crease…..if we accomplish those 2 it would be a series win and confine fatso to eating moose burgers and maple syrup on the golf course for the summer…
they could be up 3-1 but all 4 of those games would be nail biters.
2-1, 3-2, etc
Chico’s bald…...and I can’t stand his whining.
CT happy belated birthday, and I agree 100% on Chico. I don’t mind Doc or even Daneyko anymore, but Chico is almost embarrassing. The homer of all homers IMO. I think a Rangers/Devils series would have been a great one. And I do think we could have beaten them. And I don’t think we would have lost in 4 to Washington. I don’t think we win the series, but I do think we make it a 6 or 7 game series.
I think the Devils win the next game and the Flyers finish it at home. I would love to see the Devils lose at home though, so then we can hear all the Philly fans cheering, and then hear another Chico meltdown like 2 years ago when we finished the Debbies off at home. I wish I had the audio of that, and I would start my day to it ever day. LOL
Sad that this franchise has been so degraded we are now forced to imagine fantasy playoff series to comment on. Or maybe it’s sad that we bother.
lOVE your last paragraph Nasty 1
The Rangers high skill level, and elite goaltending would over whelm the Devils. then there elite goalie would have stolen the next series against the Caps.
the Rangers are always a lot better when we can make it up as we go along eh.
What if doesn’t matter. They are playing playoff hockey. Our boys are playing golf.
hmmmm….... do the Rangers beat the Devils in the 1st round??????........does Norm McLean go back for seconds????
Chris, didn’t you know that we got complimentary tickets on the sad van to frown town? Nasty was the driver.
CT, would you (or anybody) happily trade Drury, Redden, Rozsival and Dubinsky for Langenbrunner, White, Mottau and Zajac? And any of the “washed-up” Rangers for Elias?
Is Ed “Too Tall” Jones too tall?
That is right, and we have a few tickets still available. I was thinking of starting up my company for NY sports teams, well most of them anyway. It would be called “Sad Van Tours” and we would venture around NYC (Frown Town) and look at the possible parade routes that we will not be taking any time soon. I think it would be a gold mine. Anyone want in?
Does Charlie Daniels play a mean fiddle?
Nasty, as long as we get a 2 for 1 coupon for Clutch’s pizza.
CCCP, of course Boucher is going to get torched by any of those teams you mentioned, but it is looking like he is going to get to play in 2 more rounds than our elite goalie Hank. do you think that is because Boucher is better than Hank, or is that the Flyers have just a little bit more talent and toughness than the Rangers.
————
bull dog line
I don’t think anyone here would argue that Flyers have more talent and toughness than the Rangers… and maybe even better coached too then the Rangers. In the last four years though, Hank has played in more playoff games than Boucher in his entire career! Hank also played in twice as many games this season than Boucher…so Boucher is a lot more rested and is playing like he wants to prove himself and that he belongs in NHL…and the Devils seem like a perfect candidate for Boucher to do so since the Devils can’t score. So it’s a win-win situation for Boucher.
Now imagine if our ELITE goalie had a couple of elite goal scorers and couple of elite dmen in front of him…this team would be ELITE!
Oh and…as someone mentioned last night that the Devils came back from being down 3-1 before… and they came back against Flyers. So it aint over until bearded lady sings.
P.S. Rangers would beat Devils.
Absolutely, Clutch will be the Tour guide on my off days. “Move your feetsa to Capt. Clutch Pizza.”
Does a bear carcillo in the woods?
I had a horrible nightmare that Slats traded Weise, and Grachev to Phoenix for Wolski.
It felt so real.
Carp-
The only reason we were able to stay in the last game against the Flyers is because of LQ. We were totaly outplayed the entire game. You made a good point the other day about how little talent we have compared to the other playoff teams. The Flyers are a very talented team that is now getting some quality goal tending from a sub par quality goalie. If LQ was a Flyer, they would have been right there for the top spot in the eastern conference.
The Devils are also a vastly more talented team than we are. They also get good goal tending from uncle daddy. The reason that the Devs are in the brink is a testament to the talent level of the flyers and Boucher’s unexpectedly high level of play.
I worry that we will once again not make the playoffs next season as well. Biggest reason is that our top level prospects (Stepan,Kreider,McDonogh,Grachev,Werek,Weise) are all either a year or more away from stepping into the lineup.
I am hoping that we dump our crap(no need to list names) for next year and allow what ever young player we can(Byers,Sags) unto the lineup and let the chips fall where they may. Another top ten pick and good draft will possibly set us uo to compete for a title in maybe 3-4 years. LQ will still be in his prime as will Gabby,Cally,Dubi,MDZ,Staal. With the aforementioned kids just enetering their prime. What is left is for who ever the GM is(NOT SATHER) to make some shrewed FA signings to plug whatever dificincies may remain.
I think these playoffs are proving what the believers were preaching all along while some were pushing for a lottery pick…in the playoffs, ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN.
Preds up 2-1 on the Hawks?
Flyers up 3-1 on the Debbies?
Boston (who I believe scored less goals than the Rangers) up 2-1 on Buffalo?
Hell, Henrik absolutely carried the Rangers to a 3-1 lead over the Caps last year. Who knows what could’ve happened??
Now, if you’ll excuse me…
(teeing up Titleist)
Carp, NO to the first one. I would trade Redden for Elias though. What’s Elias’ cap hit? Gotta be less then Wade-O’s.
Nasty, I’m in, but only if there is free beer, too.
Who cares if we would be up or down it’s a guess, but the non guess is we aint close to a real team which NJ/Philly aint. We have serious lack of heart and more serious LOFT.
Not to mention that our length off the tee is bad and our short game sucks.
No Avery for Lady Byng this year? Strange. I’m afraid if Torts keeps him on a short leash for another year, Aves could win it in 2011.
Would Avery even have been able to play by now?
Carp,
I’d do a lot of those trades just based on the salary cap implications. In terms of actual talent? Elias would definitely tip the scale in terms of talent going the Rangers way, but I think his best days are behind him. If that list included Prospal from the Rangers I think you’d basically be swapping highly alike players.
I think the Devils right now have more talent, obviously having Kovalchuk and Parise makes a big difference. But as for which team potentially has the higher upside? I’d give that to the Rangers. And who knows how many goals Kovalchuk would have scored in a full season with the Rangers, the fact of the matter is that they both scored the same number of goals this season.
The Devils played a more consistent game early on but if I’ve read it correctly never won more than 2 or 3 in a row after December or January. So basically they never got into the long winless stretches the Rangers did but they never set the league on fire in the 2nd half either.
Avery’ll be nominated in 2012. That IS when the world is supposed to end.
Avery said he thought he’d be able to play in Game 1 … you know, if …
Spiderpig, Avery said after the season he would have been ready for Game 1, if there had been one. Cally, OTOH, I think, would not have been ready until a potential round 2, if at all.
Noah – Yep, Boston scored the least goals in the whole league, but Rask also has the best GAA of qualified goalies.
And who knows how many goals Kovalchuk would have scored in a full season with the Rangers
***
That should read in a full season with the Devils.
Sorry about that folks.
Happy Belated, Bday CTB! My bad, dude!
oh and…wishful thinking bro!
CCCP,
your last post was with out a doubt, the most ELITE post you have ever had.
check out brian boyles sweet jacket.
http://www.watchthegapsports.com/?p=196
delZ w/ the 2 jackets. BB can never be that cool, lol.
ok bull dog line…very ELITE of you i guess
bull dog line = beer me!
Wouldn’t suggest the Rangers deserved to be anything other than #9 in the East. But other than against the Caps or Pens (who would’ve smoked the Rangers), I think it would’ve been a very competitive series against anyone else in the East.
I wasn’t that impressed by what I saw of the Sabres and Devils this year and Ottawa must be the weakest #5 seed in a long, long time (admittedly, they have three key players hurt right now).
So, in summary, the East stunk this year.
Anyone else find it ironic that two players brought into the NHL under tortorella are up for the lady bing?
I think that the series may not be 3-1, but the Rangers would fair pretty well against the devils. Perhaps it would be a 2-2 series right now.
BUT this also depends on how tired henrik really was at the end of that season. I think if Henrik was outstanding, the series could be 3-1 Rangers.
It seems to me that other than in game 3, Marty really hasn’t played that well. I felt like some of the goals he let in were weak, but more importantly he hasn’t looked confident, like “Bring it on.” He hasn’t had that firey attitude that I think he needs to help the devils confidence.
Game 3 I felt like Marty kept the devils in that game, despite how poorly they played in front of him.
Rangers up 3-1 on the Devils?
Is a bear Catholic?
Does the Pope carcillo in the woods?
No. Sather’s best teams peaked when they won a round in the playoffs. This was not one of Sather’s “best” teams by any relevant definition. They would be lucky to be down 3-1 to anybody in the playoffs.
CCCP,
sorry, I am not beer me. I did not agree with much of what he had to say.
but that was an ELITE guess.
http://www.ottawasun.com/sports/hockey/2010/04/17/13627271.html
NYR could have easily beat the Devs. Broduer just isn’t the same. He’s a playoff choker.
The best part is that they lost Bergfors, and they’re gonna lose KovakCHOOK, barring some unforeseen incident.
I honestly think he’s going back to the Trashers next season. Especially since they have made a few changes to management, and they came close to making the playoffs.
They’ll be a lot better.
Kovalchuk will be a Ranger.
Crack of One?
Want to never get a morning hangover? Get up after Noon.
I think, with Avery and Callahan available and effective, the Rangers could have hexed Marty and Co., once again, but gotten no further than round one.
What disturbs me re the Rangers failure to make the playoffs, is the fact that we are not seeing an immediate purging, starting at the top of the organization, the GM position, which would have made missing the playoffs a long-term benefit, not a short-term set-back. The Rangers are like a marshmallow-soft grade school system, now, where no one is a failure, where everybody gets a passing grade “for trying hard,” even the slackers and truants.
More and more I am seeing lower standards of accountability in all sports, how about Michael Vick being reinstated by the NFL as the best example of the societal cancer of “relativism?” No one is really a failure, no one is really a criminal, no one is really immoral, it just never ends, this reticense to evaluate people on merit, or demerit, for fear of some kind of legal reprisal or bad publicity.
I have passionately supported the New York Rangers almost all my life, but I now hate what they have become – mediocre as a business philosophy, in every respect, except for the priority to financially bleed white their base of public support. I have always been mesmerized by their dazzling, nicely trimmed uniform, and with all the charisma and magic and color and pageantry which comprises an NHL game, which is more like a larger-than-life spectacle, it seems. But I have more of a commitment to achieving a level of accomplishment and excellence in my own life, than the hockey team I root for has as regards putting a championship caliber team on the ice.
And the gap is widening, as the years of the Sather-era drone by. I will grudgingly stay with it, but this is no damn fun, anymore.
Del Z is the man, i fuggin love that kid. But, how the hell do you wear TWO leather jackets in the Spring??
I would melt.
NYR hockey really isn’t fun anymore, you definitely got that right.
I long for the Jagr days. I really took them for granted.
He cared a hell of a lot more than Gabby does. I wish the guy was still in the NHL, with any team.
It would have been a great series to watch but I’m not buying that the Rangers would have beat the Devils easily…..or at all…
Washington however would have roasted them in 5
@Izzy
“No. Sather’s best teams peaked when they won a round in the playoffs. This was not one of Sather’s “best” teams by any relevant definition. They would be lucky to be down 3-1 to anybody in the playoffs.”
There’s no way that the Rangers should have been up on the capitals 3-1 last season in the playoffs. But it happened. And that wasn’t Sather’s best team either. It was a team led in scoring by Zherdev and Naslund. The point isn’t whether or not it should happen, it’s whether or not it COULD happen. and there’s no evidence that would suggest the Devils would run away with this theoretical series. I mean, the Rangers simply play better against the devils than they do during the rest of the season.
I think that the key would be how tired henrik is. And I think that riding into the playoffs after that stretch run might help energize him…
Good find there, tr. good story … how’d that Leetch trade work out?
Of course, Boyle is a Bostonian and will try to affect MDZ’s thinking and get him to be a Boston fan.
Hopefully, DZ is smart enough to realize Boyle’s master plan, and remain a Yankees fan.
ALL HAT, are you a writer? You should be.
@bull dog line I really am hoping that kovi will be a Ranger next year. They’ll probably have to waive redden or trade drury to sign him, but it would be pretty sweet… just not sure where that cap space would come from…
I think they would have been up against the devils as well. The addition of prust and shelley were huge. They were the only reason we were even close to getting into the playoffs. That being said I think our lack of physicality on the blue line would have ended our playoff run fairly early like it has every other frakking season!!
carp
its workin out great for phoenix. lol.
but not as great as a zajak or green.
I long for the ulfie days!!!!! Days without stupid 4 on 4 or shoot out gimmicks to try to draw in casual fans while alienating true hockey fans and the game itself!
mightymatt
The question last year was not “How did the Rangers lose a series up 3-1?” The question was “How did they get to 3-1 in the first place?”
Anything “could” happen. The question actually is “Do I THINK it would happen?” No, I don’t. Don’t think with your heart, think it through with cold logic. If you had to bet your last dollar on it, would you pick the Rangers to be up 3-1 in the series right now?
if sally struthers had her druthers would she watch the smothers brothers?
Between Philly, NJ & the Rangers, only one team has a decent sized scoring upside (mostly due to their solid PP) & that’s the Flyers. When you think about the Playoffs, it’s really only (#1) Who has the best goaltending, (#2) Who has the best power play, & (#3) Who has the best penalty killing. The Devils offensive attack doesn’t scare the Flyers… would the Rangers offense pose any problems? Maybe.
I don’t believe anyone in the East can score enough to beat either PIT or WAS in a best of seven (I’m leaning CAPS.) The West is where the REAL Playoffs are happening with eight legit teams, all with a real shot at the Cup. I picked Phoenix at the start, but unless Doan gets back in the line-up, they won’t make it.
Agree completely jpg.
Looks like the East could have 3 short series, 1 potentially long one (B’s-Sabres) while the West look like they could all go the distance.
JPG
Fluery is giving up a lot of goals. The only reason why they’re ahead is because Elliot/LeClaire are giving up more.
Pens don’t look as mighty as the last two seasons. But, maybe they’ll get it together after this series.
I’d hate to see them make it to the finals for a 3rd year. Same with the Wings.
@Izzy Mandlebaum
true, but I wouldn’t have bet my last dollar on them being up 3-1 on the caps.
This is an impossible question to answer definitively because we simply don’t know what would have happened.
All I’m saying is that I think that if the devils played the way they’ve played in this series, and the rangers played the way they did in the last 8 or so games, the Rangers would have a 3-1 lead in my opinion.
Good observation Orr. I was talking about this with some other people (non-Boneheads).
On top of Fleury’s inconsistency, the Pens don’t really have a true shutdown D this year. Orpik can lay people out, but he’s not necessarily going to completely diffuse an attack. Everyone else from Gonchar-Letang-Goligoski and what’s left of Leopold are puck movers and Mark Eaton is just plain bad. Who woulda thought Scuderi and Gill were really that valuable?
But Crosby is turning up his game again this year and as much as I hate the guy, when he wants to control a game almost singlehandedly, he can.
the west has been great to watch so far. pens series is quite dull. thje only one i am enjoying from the east is philly/nj. the caps and habs are having a good series but after the caps last big win, habs might be down for trhe count. switching goalies really doesnt help too much unless youre playing the rangers!!
i think carp is trying to torture us with teh what if question!!! haha you sneaky guy you. he knows how to push our butons and is getting some good discussion from it. youre a wily vet carp!!!
youre the shanahan of the blog!
Fair enough mightymatt. This IS an impossible question. I blame Carp for asking it.
I’m glad you didn’t bet your last dollar, too. I wouldn’t want to see you drooling hungrily on the windows as I was buying double-cheeseburgers off the Dollar Menu with your money. :)
does that make orr the avery of the blog, ya know, from u keepin himin check? i wonder who the brashear of the blog is? and dont say me u wiseguys!!
right on mandlebaum!!
TR, but Flavah IS rocking the white jeans!
totally agree wicky! get rid of the gimmicks!!
mike, i have an idea for the brashear but will keep it to myself lol!!
Great posts today gentlemen! And yea grabby, I love watching the West games!
so its official.
the leafs got the best lookin ‘stache signed
i believe i may have mentioned this before
but it just became official
http://jatkoaika.com/smliiga.php?sivu=uutiset&id=10764
hes goin to need a year to adjust as well. he needs to work on his mobility. so figure once GSJ contract is up or at the trade deadline expect to see this kid backing up “the monster” (or until the next heart attack).
All Hat
you know you’re paraphrasing my complaints about this organization for over 3 years now and it still comes full circle to the owner. Period. ( and oddly enough the Mets are in the same boat.) NY area teams??????
A rabid fan support group ( who shell out big bucks for these mediocrities) and are so taken advantage of by ownership.)
I’ve followed Rangers since the l949-50 season …(you know -just a couple of years following WWII.) Long time. NOw retired in FL and we get constantly “blacked out” by Bettman’s newest love. the Versus airers. ( Rank amateurs that haven’t a clue as to following a hockey game. But the blocking out of Ranger games when the VS crew deigns to air them isk what rankles me, and for that I have a gripe against Direct TV.) I am beginning to become bored with this Ranger management team wherein nothing changes really. Last years dolts are replaced by this years dolts and the GM Coach tandems go on and on and on…. into nothingness. They atart out with a bang and end in a whimper to quote a famous observation.
In these playoffs we are seeing the true story of the advancement of the NHL beyond the east coast and it is stunning in it’s western superiority: example…the dramatic cowing of the vaunted BlackHawks by Nashville.
Extraordinary playing by a relatively unknown team, that is breathtaking. They not only have been defeating the Hawks but actually dominating them – all over the ice.
ONe may well say that the sun has begun to set in the east.
And the pivot point is in the greater NYC area. Congratulations Ranger owners. You are making history.
Are the Leafs planning on trying out every European league goalie there is?
gotta say about bratwurst lips, he is more of a big game guy than ovie. the guy doesnt just let off rockets go from the blueline constantly like ovie does. ovie needs to utilize his teammates better. sometimes he takes shots that have a ridiculously low chance of going in. hes definitely more of a power fwd with supreme m skill but crosby is smarter and stealthier. id take either one in a heartbeat over anybody on our team including hank
haha linda, no need, i already know!!!
MIKE
I really am the Avery of the blog. Carp has a short leash on me, and sometimes gives me the “Avery treatment” like the refs do, haha.
Salty Dupuis is the Brashear of the blog. Hands down.
ctb
probably
it doesnt shock me that hes looking into these types of goalies.
he needed to do something like this or MZA cause of the pick he gave up for kessel.
its a huge signing for them. w/ alaire up there now this kid and jonas are going to be a great pairing for the leafs.
id take dan bismol or kaboose boudreau over torts the infantile egomaniac anyday too. hell, id take eaton over half our d. hey, i might as well just change teams!! haha hell no!! just tryin to piss greg off1!
no salty is more like a disgruntled reporter that has dealt with torts too long. not brashear. that award goes to “a fecal fan”!!!
i dont know ORR, i think CR is on a shorter leash than you ;-)
kaspar is definitely kasparaitis. banished from teh blog to a foreign blog never to be seen or heard from again
fecal was banished to hartford just like brash!! hey ct, hope you dont live in an apartment. cuz fecal/brash is looking for a roomie!!
greg is joe m. ohh boy they both have some ultra team spirit
Thanks, Mike.
Orr, I only give you misconducts, not minors. Wouldn’t put the team down a man.
CT, wait … you talk to non-Boneheads?!
ha j/k greg. thats really wrong!!
CR gets minor penalties … got another one this morning. doesn’t know it yet, but a suspension is coming.
anybody wanna see my season report cards and in depth analysis???? i know i do!!! ilbzo- get out your tri-focals and an adult diaper. youre gonna be here awhile!
mike, that is NOT who i was thinking of for brashear, but funny too!
carp- is he gonna get lisin’ed or brashear’ed?? oh no, dont tell me. were gonna milbury him !!! right? hanson brothers style!! puttin the foil on!!
no linda i really do know who u were talkin about, but i wanted to throw fecal in there too. trust me, i know who the brash is.;)
eagerly awaiting your report card grabby!! and those new pics on fb too ;-)
Lol, just cause Aves is into clothes doesn’t mean he’s gay!!
Mike! Oh, no….:)
Kovalchuk is a selfish player. he does not fit into the devils team approach. in fact, they are worse with him, because they now are not a smooth functioning team oriented machine like they used to be. now it’s 2 full minute shifts for mr selfish while he loafs and gives half hearted effort on his shifts
no surprise that Atl was a bush league opponent swept in 4 for the rangers when he was with them in that playoff series. it is all about him and how much money he can demand, not about team success.
No Way…The Flyers are a good team that just sucked all year…The Rangers just plain sucked all year like they were supposed too.
Of course the Rangers would be beating the Devils. The Devils will not win anything because they don’t have the guts to bench Marty like Canada did in the olympics.
I don’t know if we have Brashear on the blog, but I have an idea who is Shelley and who is Prust.
Wicky and CCCP??
dont know if this video was posted yet
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WgZ_ctSrvZM&feature=related
This made me laugh. Pearl Jam just added a show to their tour, and it is on May 18th at the Rock. I guess they figure that there will not be much going on there at the time.
thanks TR!!
I guess I shouldn’t laugh though, because I am going both nights at MSG on the 20th and 21st and there is definitely not anything going on there then either :(
Great video, TR. He reminds me of an agile turbo Porsche cabrio. It’s too bad there are too many “Lincoln Navigators” on NHL roads.
Small players who play smart can succeed in the NHL. The ones that skate with their head down and admire passes too long are the ones that don’t make it. If he is a smart player, like a Fleury or St. Louis, he could have a nice career for himself.
lmao Nasty! are you going to add the 3rd date to your itinerary also?
Uh oh, not so fast:
http://sports.yahoo.com/nhl/news;_ylt=AhPQj7mddEF4_qKX2RIMs005nYcB?slug=ap-flyers-injuries
Jeez peoples, I go away for lunch and to do some actual work and y’all go posting like crazies. LOL.
Niiice of Boyle to show MDZ what college life is like.
my 2 cents. I think the Rangers would have been up 3-1 as well. I just don’t think Brodeur is a viable big time goalie any longer. His failures in recent playoff seasons and his Olympic performance has proven this. If they don’t get big time scoring they will lose to anyone in the playoffs. And when you really only have only two viable scorers and no D who can move the puck effectively, this is what will happen. Not that the Rangers are any better, but I’d take Hank over Marty in a big game any day.
Missing these 2 guys has got to hurt Philly in the next game.
ok, wait a minute, who am I (I think wicky, but I better not be brash or you will force me to take you all on one at a time)
Grabby
the adult diaper thing had me needing one, hilarious bro!!!!
BTW – a brisk 68 degrees in AZ today – brrrrr !
Tony- but they have Carcillo with 2 goals on Marty already. And a ton of other carcillo…
Wicky- something tells me diapers are not that difficult to find in your house :)
Mikey- where is your promised report card? Do you think we have all day to sit and wait for it? And then spend another 1.5 hrs to read it?
Orr
I’m into fashion too! Just like my Aves!
And I love guyliner!!
“And the gap is widening, as the years of the Sather-era drone by. I will grudgingly stay with it, but this is no damn fun, anymore.”
There will come a time when Rangers fans just say the heck with it. I don’t give a carcillo any more. In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if that time is next season.
Something more annoying than the Rangers play last season… being on hold with the doctor’s office. Just gimme my byfuglien prescription!
Cross Check
How can a true fan of any team just quit on them.
I will never quit on them no matter how bad they are.
I’ll always look for the positive, and right now, that is, we have the best goalie in the world, and the best looking man in the world. HANKIE Bear!!!
CR9
When they are paying a lot of money to buy tickets to see garbage.
I’m not in the NY area, but if I had season tickets I would have to think twice about giving the team my hard earned money so that they can pay the likes of Redden and Drury a gazillion dollars to do nothing.
This just in:
Yankees acquire Kevin Youkilis, Jason Varitek and Jonathan Papelbon for Derek Jeter, Jorge Posada and Mariano Rivera.
Orr: re: ”...just cause Aves is into clothes doesn’t mean he’s gay!!”
...not that there’s anything wrong with that…
LOL CT!!!
LMAO CTB! Are you recovering from running Boston marathon on Monday too?
Laugh on Mets fans…laugh on… :P
CT- That sound you hear is every Yankee and Red Sox fan’s head exploding. LOL.
X-Check – as a season ticket holder, I definitely hear what you’re saying, but there is no way I’d give up the tickets.
There have been plenty of times during the season that I have complained about the quality of the team’s performance vs. what we’re spending on going to MSG.
It’s hockey, though. And, there’s nothing better…
And now I don’t need the prescription after 25 years? Medical field, you are SOOOO confusing. GRRRR!!
Of course, I wouldn’t want to miss PATRIOT’s day.
That made up faux holiday, Patriots day.
What a joke of a holiday.
They invent holidays for themselves, as they invent championships like the Beanpot final.
UGH!
They would have beat the devils in the series, they are in Marty’s head, and Marty is not the goalie he once was.. they would have beat New Jersey but most likely would have lost to Washington
They would have had a shot vs Buffalo also, as you say, it is the Leastern Conference, against about any team out west they probably wouldnt have much of a shot
CCCP I’m laughing because CT probably just made CR’s head explode!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patriots’_Day
Sounds like a legit reason to me.
Mickey – do you no longer need the prescription, or is the doctor / pharmacist no longer getting reimbursed by the insurance company????
Tony, it’s a beautiful San Diego like 73 here today. About to go out and get some sunlight and exercise!
LI, the doctor- my cardiologist, actually- says I no longer need the prescription. It was for amoxicillian for a dentist appointment and I’ve needed the meds for over 25 years since my heart surgery. Apparently the regulations changed a few years ago. That’s OK, I guess. But kinda scary that I wouldn’t need it anymore.
ok, so mrs wicky certainly doesn’t think I am the brashear of the blog…..you guys better watch out, she might go all chris simon hollweg on you guys!!!
CT,
He’d probably be down with it if it were called “Yankees Day”
Mickey – well good for you that you don’t need to take it anymore. The less stuff you need to take, the better…
:o)
Wicky, you and CCCP are the Shelley and Prust of the blog.
me being who? :P
chris simon hollweg?
Did someone let Dr Frankenfurter out of the looney bin again?
Linda, when I mentioned that I actually meant Wicky and Mike respectively.
OUCH! LOL
LI, True dat. Figures I wouldn’t have to take them once I got over my fear of swallowing pills whole. Used to have to crush them up and let me tell you, that carcillo is nasty tasting.
Enjoy Linda – Enjoy !
MikeyM- LMAO, hate to break it to you after 25 years, but Amoxicillin does come in nicely tasting cherry flavored suspension. Perhaps you should send your doctor a “thank you” card.
It aint a legit reason.
Patriots day is a crock of carcillo.
It’s just more of their bullcarcillo.
Not only does the rest of America praise them and honor them every single day, they do too with their made up holidays and their made up championships.
Theyre all sick!
Linda
oh, ok. I missed that earlier I guess. If I don’t get resigned, do I still get to come to the blog???
by the way guys, you all forgot…..
The RANGERS are Victoria Cup champions, and I think we won the METRO ICE challenge one year!!!!!
But of course, Bettman is trying to put Boston in next years Victoria Cup, so as to hand them another championship!!!!!!!!!!!
YAAAAWWWNNN!!!
Zzzzzzzzz, and that’s not for Greg L either.

Re: The question – I’m not sure what I think. I don’t think the Devils are all that great despite being at the top of the division all season. But, the Rangers were bad for most of the season so…...
I’d say the series would be tied 2-2.
They were arrogant even back then. They are given credit because they didnt like the taxes set forth by England. Instead of peaceably protesting, the dumped all the tea, the property of someone else, into the Harbor.
And they get credit and praise for it. You know what those people were. They were nothing more than terrorists. And it gets praised as the Boston tea party.

Am I alone here trying to pick a team to cheer for ? I find myself cheering against teams rather than cheering for teams. I’m trying my best to cheer for my local Coyotes, but the passion just ain’t there.
Tony
Cheer for the Pens and the Caps.
Im gonna change the subject to something I enjoy talking about.
How HOT is Henrik Lundqvist. Seriously. Flowy beautiful hair. Beautiful facial hair. Perfect facial structure. Dreamy eyes. Great abs, great body. Perfect height. Great athletic skill.
Go to christine’s blog. She has some great pictures and video of our Hankie Pankie.
http://henriklundqvisthockey.blogspot.com/
CR – Why would i do that !
Not the Pens, Tony! They are EVIL personified. Or at least, I prefer to think of them like that.
Even his name is spelled perfectly.. First, Henrik, PERFECT. Second, LundQVist. Not the average Lundquist, but LundQVist.
Who doesnt love a QV sound?
CR

But I do cringe when I hear Sweet Caroline (from that dirtbag Neil Diamond – Red Sox fan and Red Sox song) played after wins.
Also, every time I go to the grocery store and see Boston Creme Pie, it makes me sick.
I used to say to my ex wife whenever I saw it “Honey, do you want some Scumbag Creme Pie” and she’s always give me the evil stink eye.
CR
You need to amend your name, we also won the first and only “French’s Mustard Cup”
Wicky, you have a lifetime contract!!

Absolutely Beautiful, for a toilet background. Heck, I might have it put in the bottom of my toilet. Thanks!
But Im not sure I want to dirty the bottom of my toilet.

LOL… you’re gonna give the guy a heart attack!
Er, how does one not dirty the bottom of their toilet from time to time?

in those 94 commercials for the frenchs cup they used that some but he said “rangers in london” instead. cant find a vid or pics anywhere.

CT happy belated Bday!!!
Tony , is is NO other choices. You are cheering on teams to lose. Great plan. Its the right thing to do buddy!!! No Rangers , No passion.
CCC , not CCCP !!! This loss makes me wanna be a Rangers fan even more!!! When the chips are down dude ..ya just gotta have Faith ,Faith..faith, baby!!
Wasn’t that great tv show called CHEERS from Boston??
+2 on greg chipping in with a boston reference!
COME ON!!!!! CR never got this upset when the Rangers got eliminated!!!???? He hates Boston more thatn he loves the rangers , I know it!!
Sally ( no offense ) Never gets this excited to watch Rangers hockey. I have never seen her Cheer like she does for Rangers likes she does Buffalo. Just some observations.
It just makes me feel QUEZZY when I see “go Buffalo” or some other crap team being cheered for. Cheering for other teams on a Rangers blog is kinda like wearing a NYI jersey at msg. Out of place.
WHOHOOOOOOO!! +2 sweet.
Go Greg!!!!! WOOOOOOoooOOooOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!! How ya doing buddy? GO GREG!
linda
oh that’s right, I was signed by slatipuss…..or here on the blog, I guess my lifetime contract would be from carpipuss!!!!!
Anyone remember or have a link to the old ESPN commercials from the playoffs in like the mid to late 90’s where they were crime scenes after a team was eliminated, they were the most hilarious one EVER!!!!
Callahan’s a swell guy …he sure is , isn’t he SAM??
WAKE UP CALL TO ALL RANGER ANNOUNCERS:
You guys sound like a bunch of old ladies haggling over used plates at a garage sale!!! Its the same , boring ,awe struck acting I see game in and game out. At least in Buffalo and Pitts you have annoucers who actually get excited and talk hockey , not all this rubbing each other shoulders during the game like our guys do. Don’t get me wrong cuz our guys aren’t that far off. We just need a little more Prust and Shelly outta ‘em next year.
Wasn’t there a show with Tony Danza …Who’s the Boss-ton?
There ya go Sally!!! :)
lmao who’s the boss ton!! +1
Wicky, lifetime bonehead! that’s the pinnacle!
GO SALLYbres!
Sallybres is quite unique itself. Ya said a few others a few days ago Linda that were creativly-creative. Im +3 so far today!!!!
Simple Answer ( to Carp)
” Do you think, in a playoff series with the Devils, the Rangers would be in the same position as the Flyers, up 3-1?”
No Carp , series would be tied 2 -2
We play them perty even so Im saying a tie. We’d win the next 2 games and beat ‘em 4 -2 in the series.
Truth is , if we had won the shoot out. Rangers would be winning games right now. That my friends hurts.
Et tu, Linda?
__
Greg
I hate Boston so much because I love my NY teams (Rangers)!
And you have the audacity to mention Cheers, that disgraceful joke of a show?
Now Im a serial killer and a person who commits massacres?
Not funny.
How about mixing up the shoot out? Its a crap shoot anyways.It’s a bloody skills competition for pete sakes! It a Showdown’77 with Peter Puck!! Come on , we know it is a farce !!!
NEW IDEA!!!
Every penaty ya get during a game…is a another shooter ya can use on the shoot out.
Line ‘em up at center ice , all the players that add up to the penaties they each got…let’s say Our team got 6 PP chances , so we get 6 guys to shoot ,to lets say the other teams got 4 guys. Uneven ? , yeah ..play smarter then.
No cleaning the ice. All shooter are at center ice and each team rotates skates by the blow of the whistle.
Idea is , If your team is gonna take selfish penaties ..it may cost thenm in the end. Each Penalty will be notices ,hence cleaning up the game while were doing a stuiped “skills” event.
Linda, thanks for that one :)
CR, tis all in good fun! When someone else comes along with rantings, I’m sure we’ll all jump on that. We kid because we love!
i got yo’ back SAllyBRES!
Lets Go Bru-ins!!!!
“I hate Boston so much because I love my NY teams (Rangers)!” -Cr9
Is this really true? Come on now…really? I think yer hate goes beyond the love of your city. NY is better then Boston. There I said it!!! Boston plays second fiddle to NY and people here in Canada ..see it. Ya don’t need to be like them( Bostonians) and act like a child. ( no offense cuz im more childish then you). You almost give Boston “publicity” like people always saying “Carcillio”. I do take back my “cheers” refrence and appologise for saying that Filthy “B” word.
“Et tu, Linda?” ...wow , I even felt the Dagger!!
wow alotta quotations!!
lmao greg, and to shake things up even more, the guys who take YOUR penalties should have to be YOUR shootout guys! LMAO. Imagine having a shootout lineup of Brashear, Shelley, Rozsival and Aves!!!

Patriots Day is a fabulous holiday. Should be celebrated nationwide.
Bobby Orr was the second best player I’ve ever seen. Ted Williams might have been the greatest hitter ever, and he could have broken Babe Ruth’s home run record if he didn’t miss, like, seven years in the service.
Anybody ever been to Mike’s Pastry on Hanover Street in Boston?

Nice to see your attempted antagonism. I thought I attempted to call a truce by rooting for the Blackhawks. Im guessing you didnt accept the truce?

Another PP for Boston. I think one of the refs went to Boston College.

THEY JUST TRIPPED HIM DOWN!!
and the excuse is, that the ref was turned around!!!!!!!!!!!
COME ON!!!!!!!!!!!
Habs never had a chance. Blowmez is gonna have a nice long summer to continue his search for the best hair restoration product. Maybe Getzlaf can join him, if he has the time, but i think he’s too embarrassed to leave his house.
the first round of the NHL playoffs has the best, most exciting action of any sports’ first playoff round. by far. no question.

I have no reason to worry. With the Caps and Pens going back home up 3-1, they should move on.

Ted Williams was a great hitter, who NEVER won a World Series. In fact, he batted .200 in his only World Series, like a flop and a bum.
He died. His son (god bless him!) froze Williams’ head with the hope of one day bringing him back to life, and made the Williams family a laughing stock.
I was dozing off a bit and dreamt that Boston wins in OT.

that damn Versus. they won’t even show the LA game during the intermission. instaed of having a second channel. or letting NHL network handle overflow situations, Versus blacks out its fans.
i’m watching the kings canucks game on atdhe.net. no score
i totally agree with you though,this is a terrible job by the NHL. when your own network is not showing a game, there’s a problem lol
they are showing it now, but only a few minutes before the Buff boston game resumes.
thanks, I’ll try that site.
The NHL Network should pick up one of the feeds when there’s a VS conflict. It’s also ridiculous that I can’t watch it on NHL Centre Ice, which I PAID for.
what a way to alienate the fans!

Is that the App on the iPhone? I love that App, i got into a ton of new music because of it.
Unless you’re talking aboot something else, in which case i have no clue what you’re talkin’ boot :)
thats what I’m talkin about Orr. I noticed it available for the iTouch and wanted to get some opinions on it before I download it.
LET’S GO BUFFALO!
damnit it went over to the sabres bruins game. now i’m pissed lol
DOOOOOOOUUUUUGGGGHHHTTTTTYYYYY!!!!
Stay out of the box you dumb Nucks!
damnit! and the kings scored too! sheesh. put the kings game back on atdhe!
The Kings’ power play simply cannot be stopped.
good call by the linesman on the too many men penalty.
lets go bruins. lesser evil for this ranger fan for them to beat the other ny team
Oh dear! Too many men on Buffalo. This one might hurt A LOT.
trying cbc.ca right now

It’s really cool. Just type in one of your favorite music artists, and it plays a song of theirs, and then it plays music similar to it.
It’s really the only App that i consistently use.
damnit cannot watch outside of canada
totally pathetic nhl
BRUINS WIN!!
YES YES YES
BOSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSTTTTTTTTTTTTTOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The plane has landed for Boston at 7:41. And that penalty HURT A LOT.
looks like your dream came true JB LOL
SATAN! SATAN! SATAN!
satan didn’t he used to be a sabre
hehehe
thanks ORR! free stuff is always good lol
Satan scores for Boston..how fitting! lol
oh damn good call brew!
Buffalo is now 31-2 when leading after two periods!!!!!
BUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!! The Olga jinx continues!
13 more for a bruins cup
>>looks like your dream came true JB LOL
HAHAHA! If only all my dreams had a 50-50 chance of becoming true.
Blackout my Ranger games, will you?
Take THAT!
just the good ones! you don’t want the bad ones coming true
olga/hugo… are you up by buffalo also??
idiot Drew Stafford got on the ice when there were already 5 guys. he cost them the game
I’m about two hours east of Buffalo. Close to Ithaca…
Poor CR. It’s gonna take more than a nudie Hank video to cheer him up after tonight.
GO KINGS!
Poor CR!!!! he must be going ballistic!
>>just the good ones! you don’t want the bad ones coming true
Oops, I almost forgot all about the bad ones. My nightmares are bad enough in my sleep; I wouldn’t want to live them.
>>Drew Stafford…he cost them the game
And possibly the series.
I guess Canucks can score on their power play too? 1-1.
I’m so jealous of the Kings PP. So clutch!
Canucks still have not figured out how to kill a Kings’ power play. 2-1.
>>I’m so jealous of the Kings PP. So clutch!
That thing is clutchier than clutch.
Uh oh, trouble ahead for Canucks with another penalty.
Back to Square One, at 2-2.
KOOOOPITAR!! 3-2!
Anze Kopitar makes it 3-2, on a delayed penalty.
niters guys! have a great thursday!!!
3-2, Kings, after two.
Good night, Linda.
Remember, no bad dreams!
I like the way that they bathe the whole net area in red light when the Kings score. all rinks should do that.
db, but a lot of those rinks look like they’re run by idiots when somebody hits the post and the lights go on.
good night, boys and girls and John-Boy and Mary Ellen.
Good night, Sally!
Goodnight Grandpa!
Huge save by Luuuuuongo. Kings need to hold out!
Uggghhh! Nucks score. Tied game.
That Samuelsson guy AGAIN. 3-3.
I didn’t dream this, but I FEEL Kings will lose this one tonight.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
4-3 Nucks. Night is ruined.
Ah, Canucks score as I sent that previous message. 4-3, Vancouver.
SCOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORE!!! KINGS BACK IN IT!!
Simmonds ties it at 4.
4:27 left; next goal wins!
It’s over! Vancouver will win. There should have been a penalty in the Canucks zone.
5-4 Nucks.
Oh, it’s 5-4, Canucks.
6-4, game over.
Another terrible night of Hockey.
Empty-netter for the 6-4 Canucks win.
Damn kings!!!!!
NYRguy
Thought you might enjoy this from kirk morrison the raiders middle linebacker on his twitter:
kirkmorrison52
Yep, he didn’t start it but finished RT @Raiderbeejay: Had 2 be the only black dude on the ice. RT @kirkmorrison52 a fight broke end of game
Man please don;t screw up the draft tomorrow night slatipuss, I mean hologram Al.
good night erin!
What if there were no turnovers….?
History will be Wade….
Oh Please Let Eklund be right for once!!
Chasing a rumor this morning from an A1 source…It is looking like Doug Risebrough could be the next GM of the NY Rangers. According to my source, Sather would be moved to a “new” position in the organization.
Moving Sather out would not be much of a surprise given the past decade or so, however bringing in Doug Risebrough wouid be an interesting departure for the Blue Shirts. I really like Doug as a GM, however he is widely looked at as one of the most conservative/stand pat GMs in the league…quite the opposite of the NY Rangers M.O.. Could Doug shange hos ways and make the sorts of mood this ownership requires? We will see…
new post. finally.
Canucks in 7 I say
