To repeat:
Boogaard is out with an infected hand. Evgeny Grachev makes his NHL debut, wearing No. 91 and playing on a fourth line.
Here’s the probable lineup:
Frolov-Stepan-Prust
Dubinsky-Anisimov-Callahan
Avery-Boyle-Fedotenko
Christensen-White-Grachev
Staal-Rozsival
Del Zotto-Girardi
Gilroy-Eminger
Lundqvist/Biron
Sauer is prucha’d.

C3, it’s 6:44 est, do you know where your future children are? ;-)

oy Linda…you’re asking for trouble! lol
GO TIME!!!!
Rangers gametime is…NOW!!!!
lmao C3!!!
staalsy and dru are the funniest???? OMG this team needs a comedy infusion!
Carp, can you comment on that what Andrew Gross wrote in the blog that Tortorella said yesterday he left the decision of who to bring up from Hartford in the hands of Wolf Pack coach Ken Gernander along with Rangers GM Glen Sather and Jim Schoenfeld, who in addition to being the Rangers assistant GM and assistant coach, is also Hartford’s GM.
Dont you think as well that a good coach always must know, which players would definitely help his team winning ????
Dont you think that the head coach must make the decision even from team strategies point of view ????
????????????????
CCCP, it’s 6:59.
TapDancing, you cracked me up on the last thread, and now I can’t remember what it was that made me laugh. Byfuglien memory. It stinks to be 26.
Go: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OubZVZyl2ww
nit, simply, Tortorella doesn’t know who’s doing what down there, and Sather and his staff have to be concerned with who can go through waivers—example, if they recalled Kennedy they might lose him to another team. So there’s a lot that goes into it, and since the guy was only going to play one or two games, on the fourth line, it probably didn’t make much difference to Tortorella who it was. But I think he’s glad it was Grachev.
That was Step-On’s girlfriend?? Sweet. He might have have the hottest gf/wife out of everyone on NYR. I’m not a fan of Avery’s chick, Hilary. She’s cute, I guess, but ehh.
I hear Mrs. Dreary is a milf. Carp, can you confirm this. A lot of Sabs fans I talk to always raved aboot her.
It sucks to be 26. Id like to be 68! or 11!
TapDance, don’t you mean UNDER 68 and OVER 11
Linda – This is a family site! That’s just wrong! Wrong! But so very right! Time for a cold shower, I think Ive made a mess.
or 99
Eric Staal is 26 today! welcome to the club!
Aves with the glasses in his pic. Classic.
Yes, home team should be on home channel. Idiots.
hm thanks Carp… !
hm..hm..hm have a different opinion, but thats the beauty of the blog :)
Okay game starts, and lets focus on the action..
i am from overseas and its shortly after 1am so I hope game is entertaining and I will see the whole game :)
Hey everyone!!!
lol…over under, they are betting terms, therefore… more than clean enough for a family site. If your mind thought otherwise, that’s on you lol! ;-) :-)
That’s a clear kicking motion.
Teddy, I’m going to sign up for Gamefly, so maybe sometime early November we can get a few games going.
hiya beth!!
DZ trying out for Il Azzurri.
heya Lin!
Tlusty, the guy who was caught “sexting”
Bwaha!
This Skinner kid isn’t too bad.
Del Zotto should be a good soccer player as well :)
Linda – my gutter mind is on you, and nobody else! how can i be blamed for having a mind in the gutter? it can only be your fault! :)
Hope Gift is having a great time at the game!
Jody Shelley just got his attractive faced mashed up by Orr-killer Engelland.
I love that line…..
Bad play by Gilly. He almost screwed Staal over.
must be my Jedi mind powers Tap
Orr, no comment on the previous question.
Orrsie – Better get it in the next couple days, Ive only got these games for another 7 days or so. Btw, before you get the free trial or spend money on a subscription, Ill give you the information that may turn you off to doing so. PS3 charges you $10 to play NHL online, after a free 7 day trial.
We have so many north-south guys on the team, but not one single creative east-west type.
Ha! I’ll take that as a hell yeah.
evening JB~
Here’s Mrs. Dreary and the little Dreary’s
http://cache2.asset-cache.net/xc/81408931.jpg?v=1&c=IWSAsset&k=2&d=17A4AD9FDB9CF1934B869679A269F9CC33DFD0591045182926FD13ED7B73D4BC
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!!
You have to pay for online play in NHL11??
Since when? It has always been free!
lmao, i just realized i am sitting here watching the game and I STILL have my ‘black eye’! oy i need help
Evening LinCPB!
tapdance, I just remembered … it was when you were talking about eight comments being seven but actually six …. and it didn’t really crack me up.
it kind of freaked me out.
LMFAO @ it kinda freaked me out!!
Carp, you need your own show!
Orrsie – Yes. It’s always been free. Not anymore. After a 7 day trial, you have to pay or change to a different user on the PS3 – one that’s never used the free trial. Same with FIFA 11.
You still have your black eye, Linda?! Ill get you the number to my therapist!
after the day I’ve had today all I’m asking for is a win… is that too much?
Yeah, forget the game, let’s debate all night whether 3 is a bunch or not…...
Fugg EA!
I’m not paying for d*ck!
Video games piss me off, so why would I pay money to get pissed off? I’ll just watch Rangers games and get pissed off for free!
Good work keeping Carolina pinned in their end, need to work out in front more and quicker.
Hi Everyone,
I’m with you Beth.. Need a win too!
Watching Phi-Pit on tv, 9 penalties in the first 3 minutes. Crazy!
Carp –
You know how it says “46 responses to It’s Go Time” in green. Well, in that thread, it was saying 8 responses, but there were only 7.
I thought I had forgotten how to count. That freaked me out! :)
still loving that same line…...
Tap, today was “halloween” at work, and mos of the employees wore costumes. The patients got a great kick out of it, and they had a ‘fashion show’. Some of the nurses were characters from Alice in Wonderland, others were from the wizard of oz… funny stuff. I, of course, wore my #22 Rangers jersey ( i call it my BOYLE jersey but its someone elses name on the back lol) and I creatively used make up to give myself a black eye! It looked pretty cool too!
What a terrible call.
Very un-Cally-like right there. We don’t need that from him.
Such a silly penalty to call. What are these referees THINKING?
He got a penalty for putting his glove in the other guy’s face?????????????????????????????
That’s the only a penalty on the Rangers penalty. What a farce.
The NHL is very vaginy now, so they’ll always call crap like that.
Linda – I figured it was Halloween day at work when you told me earlier. I didnt think you wore a black eye just for the heck of it! :)
ice seems much better tonight carp?
Orrsie – They dont call that penalty on anyone. That was simply an anti-Ranger call. Theyre not calling the glove to the face on any other team all year long. I guarantee it.
grrrrr stop trying to take the testosterone out of the game damnit! Why does there seem to be a trend to wussify manly traits? GRRRR
ya never know Tap, i just might wake up one morning and say…hmmm a black eye would look GREAT today
awful call. language ORR!
Hey All –
A little late to the party… friend of mine got some bad new about his fathers health.
Hey BRO!!! sorry to hear about your friend and his dad :-(
Where’s the quick whistle from the referees????????????????????????????????????
Henrik is getting hammered and no whistle.
Great saves by Hank.
See! If somebody dives on top of Hank’s back, then you can rub the guy’s face.
Hey Mako, sorry for your friend’s bad news.
holy shibicky Tap, i was just wondering the same thing!! He looked like he wanted to swallow the whistle
Thanks Sis!
Doesnt have much time left. My Bud is absolutely torn up about it.
I heard McBain and I think of the Schwarzenagger character on the Simpsons.
“Sie goggles, they do nothing”
Mako – Sorry about your friend’s bad news.
Thank you CT
Really appreciate it!!!
Glad to be FINALLY watching a game!
Dreary would have scored that :P
Thank you Teddy.
wow bro, that’s just heartbreaking.
Sauer woudn’t have taken that penalty :P
lmao ORR, he’d have lulled it in
OMG, that play happens dozens of times a game.
wouldn’t’
for those keeping track at home…..
nice skate save there
Yeah Im absolutely shocked.
WOW LQ with some great saves
That was a penalty! Anisimov got grabbed and taken down. We’re at home, give us a bit of fairness.
Artie’s ankle must be ok, that’s a pretty high stress move.
Hank is so incredibly horrible at playing the puck. He should just let his fuggin defense handle it.
Anisimov is the shit baby
D isnt picking up their man in front of LQ.
MDZ was up near the faceoff dot… bad positioning on that play
ugh….
5 on 5 they’re outplaying them, 2 awful calls have been the difference.
PP TIME!!!!!!!!!!
That second attempt never should have existed.
LQ cant do it all
Somebody needs to tell Hank to not pass the puck. He is the worst goalie in the league when it comes to handling the puck, jeez.
I think everyone was playing the shot on that goal, Babchuk was smart enough to draw people into a block the shot posture and fake it into a pass.
as wicky would say…
crease clearing d-men!!!!!
guy was left unmanned right in front and that’s inexcusable
Mickey-mouse = NYR so far …
Eminger is a useless POS … Redden #2
Haha! Boomer has such a puss on his face. Rightfully so!
Great set up on that PP
Dreary would have scored that too!
Tap, I wasn’t 100 percent sure who you were until now. Now I am.
Mako, sorry to hear that.
“he just missed” ... WTF
He missed. That’s it. There’s no “just missed”. Bush-league.
Thank you Rick.
Dont even know why Eminger is playing. He has no value. Glad to see AA is okay, part of a very bright NYR future
LMFAO @ CARP!! i’m dyin over here! Carp, you are hysterical
Blowzy is such a dope. If he’s going to pass up a great chance to shoot, at least make a good pass. Idiot!
I see Rosival hasn’t changed.
WOW DANNY BOY!
Joe “Jenny Craig” Micheletti
that hit Girardi threw on Staal was pretty good..
Carp – Ill take that as a compliment? Are we okay?
that was a terrible powerplay. Rozsival has no offensive instincts whatsoever.
Malik would have thrown a better hit :P
Good hit, but Danny G wasn’t strong enough to do any damage.
I work right by the International Court here in The Hague … Roszival needs to come visit and pay dues for his amateur-hour plays
If Staal played all the time like he does against his brothers he might get a Norris vote some day.
Good effort in the period, I think if they keep it up they’ll be fine.
Tap, it was meant as a compliment. and a little dig at your affection for referees.
These post-period interviews are always so deeeeeeeep …
CT – with you on the McBain/Simpsons thing, but I think that line was delivered by Wolfcastle playing the part of Radioactive Man not McBain. Something tells me this game is a bit dull…
“Good effort in the period, I think if they keep it up they’ll be fine.”
Wow, I didn’t know Roszival contributed to this blog … and how did he post so quickly after the end of the period?! ... was he iphoning during that last shift?
Yeah LW, Up at them.
Pimp, their 5 on 5 play was pretty solid and they created some good chances that Ward had to snuff out. Rozi wasn’t on the ice the entire period.
Once more, Al asking the tough questions … I really feel like I know Girardi now
CT … I know, just making fun:)
MAO, sorry about your news.
Dang! I just figured out the Tap too! I should have MUCH earlier…..Oh you bastage!
Schneiderman should begin fighting crime by visiting MSG and investigating the stolen $5.5M I hear one of our defensemen is taking home …
Mama – I said the other day it was me. On my listed “website”, it says formerly cr9. How could you have not known it was me???
Under 68 and over 11!! Best line Ive heard in a while!
Lin, LMAO at Jenny Craig…..
>>Good effort in the period, I think if they keep it up they’ll be fine.
I don’t know, but I’m seeing similar outcome as last one against Thrashers.
I missed that tap/former :) ha! and I just sent you an e-mail on that too. OY. Serves me right for taking a day off here :)
I don’t know, but I’m seeing similar outcome as last decade
“groinocologist”????????????
Mako, sometimes you just hear crickets, doncha? LOL
al talkin about Hanks groin is just… ugh
GROINOCOLOGIST!!!!!!!!!!!
“the GROINOCOLOGIST”
lol … classic
God bless these Scrabble sheriffs
oh lord, glad I missed that!!! ick…..
anyone else feel the need for a shower after that creepy exchange?
wow, we’re going to absolutely BEAT that word to death, arent we?
looks like I picked the wrong day to stop drinking bottles of Goose
Mama, sorry, meant to tell you. the ice looks better. it should be, it’s about 30 degrees in here.
someone please make groinocologist their user name..
well, one thing is certain … Roszival must feel out of place since he always pays a visit to the gynecologist
Here we go … let’s use this 2nd period to double-up our deficit …
lmao Beth, CR should!!!
>>wow, we’re going to absolutely BEAT that word to death, arent we?
Like a dead…er…horse!
thanks carp, no worries….hope you brought a jacket :)
beth, now everyone’s gonna do that!
SO PREDICTABLE
I told you Skinhead would score. All rookies do. MSG = overrated
at least Roszival scored
lmao Pimp, didnt take long for the deficit to double
we saw Chris Drury working out on the kiddy-cycle this morning
lmfao @ Pimp
Seriously!?
HOW THE FIRETRUCKING FUDGE DO YOU LET SOMEONE COME RIGHT DOWN THE MIDDLE LIKE THAT!!!!!!
Ill make it simple for all of from now on. everyone ought to know by now who Tiki is! The sweet adorable queen Tiki. And Ill give Beth what she’s asked for.
Terrible start to the period. You cant play like this at home against Carolina. UGH!
Pimp, stop being a jinxer!
I only wish Callahan could have finished like that.
LOL I know Linda!
Rozi was behind the goal line, working on his offense
maybe if we stopped hitting posts… we’d have at least 3 by now
OY, CR, that was obviously you! and not cause of Tiki…..
LMAO
not to worry, this game will be tied by the end of the 2nd
Mako, its self repeating lol
maybe if we started hitting the net we’d have more than 0 goals right now
ok, i’m getting carried away now
Rangers giving Carolina problems? Seriously? Who’s leading 2-0?
thank you, I think…..
OK, off to keep watching in my comfy place….later.
I hate watching this team at MSG.
power-play … time to triple-beam the deficit
hAHAHAHA I know LOL
Gee, I show up late to the party and we’re losing 2-0 already?? And what’s with the Groinocologist?? lol
Rangers need to score here!
Finally!!
WOOOHOO!!!!!!!! I’LL TAKE IT!
FINALLY
Yes! Right back in it! Important goal! It’s a power play goal!
We’ll take it!!!
Rozi with a giveaway. get him of the powerplay
follow the bouncing puck!!!!!!!
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
ATTA BOY CALLY!!!!!!!!!!
Go Captain Cally!!
that’s my boy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
KACHING!
Cally bounces it in. thank you sir may I have another
hmmm Girardi is in ill humour tonight
actually, the ice doesn’t look great … just not as wet.
Look at that work by Dubinsky and attempted set up in front of the net! Excellent!
Lin, you’re killing me…and now you’re English?
The only questions remains … will they yield another … in time?
we’ll see another Flavah goal tonight!
Roszival is probably “wet” ... he definitely is on every shift, whenever anyone is within ten feet of him
Come on boys!!! Get dirty GO TO THE FRONT OF THE NET!!!
Dubinsky learned that shit from Jagr, pretty well too.
Linda, humour, English, LMAO
tomb. ... do I even have to say it?
lol…. carcillo changed the spelling of his name!
There’s a tomb and a tomg. Cool. Anyone for a tomv?
lol Linda!
Good shift!
Good shift
good carcfillo
oy, that name was just too long
carcfillo. a new word?
no carp I said it to myself already.
Linda, you’re getting way to clever for this audience. though even I caught that one.
CT – if you were a Canes fan, would you be happy with the veteran forwards, or would you like to see more Skinner?
PP TIME!!!!!!! I WANNA SEE RUSSKI POWER!!!!!!!!
Yes. carcfillo, means shift.
I can’t believe we can’t score more than once on this amateur-hour squad … it’s downright embarrassing
YES
STAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Suck on that, Eric!!
nice pp goal!!!
Leetch-esque
Yes! Tie Game! Important Goal! It’s a power play goal!
who called the tie in the second??? You get a cookie!
BABABABABBAABBABABOOOOOOOOOOOOMM!!! LGR!
dang that was a good shift by EC
GINGER SCORES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Who said it would be tied at 2, at end of two?
the power play hasn’t had this much movement since the Jagr-Nylander-Straka days.
HIYA MAO!!
lol Carp, i have no idea what’s up with me today… one of those extra funny genes coursing through the dna today lol
I warned you guys about this Skinner kid.
I called the tie … and now I’m calling something else: Hat trick for Skinner
oy
I’m happy! I’m sad! I’m a Rangers fan!!!
Too much Skinner for me
LOL! This team is soooo predictable. And once again Skinhead scores.
One goal in under 10 games, yet he has two tonight. All slumpers love playing NYR.
FIRE BENOIT Allaire!!! Hire Benoit HOGUE!
what the hell????
Who f’ed that up? What that the GROIN-MASTER himself, Roszival?
skinner…lmao does he live with his mother
I can’t wait the day Rosival is no longer a ranger.
Just horrible.
tomg, i think we should start the countdown clock on that
The real question here remains: What type of pizza did Drury just throw in the oven?
>>Too much Skinner for me
It’s only the second period; things might get Skinnier in the third.
I can honestly say that when Rosival was up for a new contract I was against signing him period. Unfortunately instead our bafoon GM signs him for 5+ million a year.
DUBLOWSKY!
DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUBIIII!
HOLLLLLLLLLLLLY CARP WHAT A SHOT!
I’m happy again!
Dubi Dubi Dooooooooooo!!!!
woo hoo Dubiiiiiiii!!!
WELL-DESERVED GOAL FOR DUBI-DUBI-DO
YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DUBINSKY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
RIGHT BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YEAH BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
>>The real question here remains: What type of pizza did Drury just throw in the oven?
Are you sure it’s not DiGiorno?
Who said it would be tied at 3, after two?
nice far post shot! beautiful! C’mon boys get the lead now!
SALLYS LIL MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! pee weebinsky!
OOOOOOOOOOH SO CLOSE!
Step-On was sooo close!!
did skinner say it would be tied?
I keep telling you … this Carolina team is like a cheap north carolina throwrug
“and he holds on” ... “he didn’t hold on”
Skinhead is bound to get a hat trick tonight. It just seems inevitable.
CNN reporting “Giveaway Threat from Roszival”
NICE HIT!!!!!! MORE OF THAT PLEASE!!!!!!!
Phew…..
Here we go … let’s learn nothing from the assistant coach …
Every time I see rosival on the ice I feel the Canes are going to score.
Hopefully Messier announces that he’s taking over this mickey-mouse club
Every time I see Roszival on the ice I feel like he’s going to get down on his knees
and hopefully he doesnt cry when he says it
That guy on the Pens, Engelland , is one tough mudduh fugger. Guy knocks out Orr, then beats up Shelley. Booger might get a beat down from this guy.
Whatever Messier is doing with face offs, it’s really not working too well.
Elsewhere, Carcillo just scored and he appears to have shaved that Carcillo off his face.
I wish Messier was still our 1st-line center
LW, how is that possible when his face IS carcillo?
Hartnell got a haircut too LOL
Well Hartnell cut his nasty hair so I guess anything is possible LW
The role of Charles Manson was just given to the guy from True Blood. I guess Carcillo just couldn’t take time out of his schedule to play the psycho. Too bad.
Linda, the Shecky Green of the Report :)
hmmm. that reference did not reflect my 26 years
from what i heard, (i think from JPG) Hartnell donated his hair to locks of love, which is great on his part.
A Hartnell with a haircut is still a hartnell.
Yeah but Linda would you want that hair?? Maybe for a clown wig. Just in time for Halloween.
Agreed Mama!
“A Hartnell with a haircut is still a hartnell.”
HAHA!
Fozzy’s here! Yippeeee! Fozzy Wozzy!
They require at least six inches or more, I believe…...he’s still a hartnell.
Fozzy, i am sure whoever gets his hair will be hugely grateful. And, if i am not mistaken, that foundation collects the hair and makes wigs for children. That’s awesome.
on that note, heres a link to what my job looked like today…(I work in a cancer center)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=93zKDQy_ARg
Taylor Hall scores again. He’s not a bust!!!!
Linda was that a Golden Monkey at the beginning?
lmfao!
orr,
I just watched the orr vs engelland fight…orr hit him with a ton of shots, and as is Orr’s norm he then swings wide and doesn’t protect well. Engelland real tough to withstand that initial flurry…didnt see the shelley fight yet..no link on youtube…u gots a link, son?
The carcillo on his face is what made Carcillo look like a Hartnelling Asshat. I cant stand people who wear soul patches and crap like that.
If you wanna grow a beard, do it right! And I love growing beards. I grew a beard for an entire Yankees season once. And I literally looked like a terrorist. And my family and friends called me a terrorist! LOL
Linda, I’ve done tons of publicity for Locks, and it’s awesome…not just for kids or cancer, but anyone who’s lost hair from illness. regardless, I like this commentary :)
http://tinyurl.com/23pw4nc
that was the scarecrow from wizard of oz you freakin nutjob! LOL
megan dineen has more moves that rozsival!!!
predictions for this period folks?
That was great Linda! Looks like it was alot of fun!! Hartnell cut his hair a couple of years ago (cant remember why) and the styled it and straightened it, He looked totally different and actually was not bad looking…but he’s still a Hartnell. LOL
Mao, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hICEEcasGY4
Carcillo clearly donated his facial hair to a hairpiece for Trautwig and Messier.
LMAO!!!!!!!!!!
They really need to get better at faceoffs.
lw, i thought his facial hair was going to play Mr. Hanky in a live action SouthPark movie
CT, whaddaya mean?! Mess is working with them ;-)
I’M BACK!
damn i miss my laptop!
HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIDEY HOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Mr Hanky!! LOL
beth, i’m waiting for JBytestrodamus to make his prediction. he’s been pretty accurate lately
Lin, that looked awesome.
Hartnell=hartnell
it’s simple math folks
orr, thnx…wow..destruction! yikesaroo!
we need to win some home games, lets go rangers
Oh yeah, Carp, make up your mind :)
good eeeeeeeeevening NCNYR
Frolov/Stepan/Christensen might be the palest line you could assemble.
only in the south…
when to trick or treat is an issue this year because Halloweenie falls on a Sunday. The Bible Belt folks, it’s a trip!
lmao CT, they are pretty casper-ish!
thanks LindaCal…good evening to you, I missed the first two periods I was out.
c’mon refs
why would the ref even hesitate like that? what happened?
Don’t forget to bring a towel… you wanna get high?
good shift, but we need to score
beth, they only call a penalty is you give someone a facial in this game lol
hahaha…nice Aves, thats how to get them on your side
WHERES THE WHISTLE???????????????????????????????????
This refereeing is a farce!!!!!!!
YAYAYAYYAAY FINALLY! PP TIME!!!
eric stole and mark stole
oh man that looked like it might have been close to a dive
lmao the organistocologist cracks me up
face time + 10
skate skate
Are we still on the PP?
Trick or trick
i love this silverlight stream, but for some reason, the lighting looks off at msg tonight.
39 shots on goal… geez.. make a mistake Cam..
lmao fozzy
unbelievable
I’m late in saying, for overall tonight, Sweet 16!!!
effing Ward!
mcbain and skinner…lmao please tell me there’s someone named homer on this team
Mako, you can almost set your watch to it!
“CLUTCH SAVE BY LUNDQVIST”!!!!!!! LOL
Grachev is going to score
Somebody’s gotta take up the clutchness while Drury’s pizza flipping hand heals.
They’re promo-ing the Knicks home-opener during the TV timeout, and people are booing. Is Stoudemire hurt already?
LMFAO LINDA!!!!
Girl you crack me up … I swear!!!!!!! I have a quarter after 9 =P
I agree, Pimp. Grach will definitely get laid after this game.
Flava is hurt
I resent Babchuk’s name.
I don’t think we’re going to be seeing Grachev after that turnover.
CT, maybe he can get Kramer’s Dominicans to flip the pizza, just like Magic Pan.
Ha! What ever Cally is saying to Pitkanen, Step-On is getting a kick out of it.
omg,what did they do to this tune??? OMG bring back the regular foxwoods casino singing dude!!
mako, don’t you mess with me
Trade Dubinsky!
Stepan needs to man-up
ORR, secretly LMAO
Carp, I think it’s just cause Knicks are just (fill in the blank) and the true MSG fans are showing their true colors :)
or not….
Bring back Lisin!
Time’s a wastin’ boys!
Linda, I concur … that Foxwoods jingle is utter generic garbage
Orrsie – LMAO!!!
I bet Bud Light spends more money on commercials than they actually make from selling that horrible beer.
Carp what do they with the Cubans or the Japanese businessmen?
OY. Hank is, shockingly, saving our assens….
CT, Carp, isn’t the whole point to make your own?
clear the firetruckin’ zone
I won’t go to Foxwoods just because of their ads. Blech.
effing Ward!
HENRIK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HENRIK!~!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Floppy weeners!
sigh….
yeap … I could see that from all the way across the Atlantic
Henrik!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hartnell
PP goal in less than 5 min to go in the game… what a shocker
You cant fault LQ on ANY of these goals. They are second attempt goals that the Carolina player should have been vanquished from the crease.
Game over.
BUSH-LEAGUE returns
Pimp, you move? am i late on that detail too?
Come on line!
this is painful to watch
what the hell… silverlight froze up, i refreshed and it started the game from the beginning…now i go to the other stream and we’re losing….WTF!?
why does MDZ keeps on skating after the player into the corner?? dont you need to stop by your net to make try to prevent additional scoring chances?
Blog: – I’m just here for a couple of months … then making my return …
Ps. Holland is a first-world country, but MAN, people have no idea how good (read: convenient) we have it in the U.S.
Do we have ANY D men that has anything other than a poke check in their repertoir???
DR. MAKO, excellent point. I think wicky would agree.
Actually the first goal was Hank’s fault. But, it doesn’t matter at this point.
BAD BAD defense tonight.
Easy empty net goal coming. Lets see if we can actually attempt a scoring chance before the game is put away.
NYRangers defensemen repertoire: flop, dive, “poky” check … giveaway
its a trend mako grrrrrrrrrr
2:38:51 the end of silverlight as we know it
wow.. that was painful to watch Hank on the bench… those eyes said it all
Where he mishandled the puck? Even still, guy right in front of him that should have been covered.
Please, someone just put us out of our misery already … just take us out back
Pimp, very curious to hear about it, and why you’re there….mind sending me an e-mail? lbabcock@lohud.com…..seriously.
btw, hope you don’t call yourself pimp there :)
Just tonight? Defense hasn’t been that good all season.
No capt Clutch = no goal??
BRING BACK OZOLINSH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
sams having trouble with his words lately…it cracks me up
Hank breaks my heart when we lose and he’s in goal. Breaks my heart.
BRING BACK BEUKEBOOM!!!!
Where’s the rest of these pu**ies to help out Boyle?
This team sucks. Another pathetic year at home. How sad.
Can’t win at home this year
How much pimping is done in a country where it’s a legal enterprise?
I thought they had a chance at a few points after their win streak, I don’t know why I had such faith.
refs blew the fuckin game. boyle did not hook the friggin wimpo.
refs blew the whistle again incorrectly with 15 seconds left.
these officials have no CLIUE
Lin, it makes me sad. He’s had lots of trouble lately…..
Blue line needs to be much better and this is a game we really miss Blair Betts…......
Overall I cant be mad because I like the heart they have and the grit but they have to defend and PK better.
sigh.
and that was against dead tired team… lame
How can anyone think that we’re making the playoffs? EC and Fedetenko are on the ice with under a minute left, down a goal.
Doesn’t matter if we’re missing Gabby, Prospal, and Dreary.
a physical d would be greatly appreciated
Chris, I’m with ya: Overall I cant be mad because I like the heart they have and the grit but they have to defend and PK better….I would add PP too
Another loss due at least in part to poor defensive play by Marc Staal.
We need to get a new defenseman in here somehow.
And we REALLY miss Gaborik in close games like this. Looks like best we can hope for is .500 hockey until he gets back.
Im not stuart, but I agree.
The referees stole away this game.
Not only did they give 3 cheap power plays in this game to the Hurricanes, they also failed to take away the last power play when the Hurricanes clearly interfered with Dubinsky. The referees are clearly anti-Rangers.
CTBlueshirt: – I think one of the biggest surprises (read: misconceptions) that people have about Holland is that it’s this “free-for-all” society …
Dutch women, for instance, are very very conservative … particularly outside of Amsterdam.
>>sams having trouble with his words lately…it cracks me up
He needs to hand over the microphone to a younger guy. I want to hear a fresh new voice after thirty years of Sam Rosen.
ps. Holland has the worst customer service in the world … I’m not exaggerating … akin to Roszival with the puck on his stick, they are completely clueless
After another storming home result, I’ve clearly picked the ideal time to attend the next four home games…
Well Cant win games when you dont protect the front of your net. DEFENSE 101
Gabby didn’t look all that great in the few games he played, aside from a few good passes.
When he comes back, who knows how he’ll play. He played like garbage when he came back from injury last year.
Pimp, gotta be a huge difference from Miami :)
btw, I’m impressed that you’re here and awake!!!!!
I wonder what Calgary wants for Cory Sarich….
Pimp, ha! you forget what it’s like back home though! Don’t even get me started on my last two CVS experiences.
Pimp, i always just thought Holland had way less hang ups about stupid stuff than we do here in the States. I bet the countryside is absolutely beautiful there too.
Pimp, I’ve been to NL a bunch of times (we’ll leave out why).
The American/global perception of the country is pretty much based on 10 blocks of Amsterdam, specifically the area outside of Centraal station. I had a friend in college that was from a small city about 30 minutes outside of Amsterdam and got to see the real NL. Great country. You’re right they’re a pretty traditional culture, but they have a liberal attitude toward an individual’s lifestyle choices.
But what I’m saying is that “pimping” has got to be different in a country where the pimp’s “employees” are involved in a legal trade.
LW, you’re coming over? I’ll be at the Chicago game.
LW3H – Maybe your presence at our next 4 home games will give us 4 victories, and then Ill have to get you – out of superstition – tix to every home game for the rest of the year! :)
The defense in their own zone is terrible. They look clueless. They run around like women in a kitchen who just found out there’s a mouse loose in there.
man I feel bad for LQ, I wonder how much more of this mediocre play he can handle before he wants to go somewhere else. He had some great saves tonight. It’s always a downer listening to LQ talk about a loss.
You mean to tell me Edmonton doesn’t have a better defenceman in their system than Jason Strudwick?

Agreed. Hopefully, our D will grow with time and help LQ
Tort’s shirt is making me dizZzZyY
have you guys thought that our style of play is not suited for this team. you cant play run and and gun hockey with a club that for one doesnt bury most chances example cally on 2 on1 or all the stops by ward in 1st period.
we cant defend so why play this style. we dont bury our chances and i hate there style.
i dont care if i am bored stiff as long as they get 2pts
Blog: – I know, it’s 4AM here! ... oh well … obviously it was worth it … I got to see Roszival smoke up the joint again …. – Ha, CVS IS TERRIBLE … the ONLY good thing about it is that some are open 24 hours … and absolutely nothing here is open 24 hours … there just isnt that much choice here … I could live here extended term (and may have to), but it’s not a dream world by any means. – Ps. I sent you an email as per your request. Hit me up if you want to discuss these intricacies … I also work at a super international company where my department of 16 people consists of 14 different nationalities, so I know a thing or two about cultural intricacies / relationships
Yeah, I’m over there for a couple of weeks. Going to the road games in Philly and NJ too.
The Rangers actually have a stupidly good record in games I attend. Gotta end some time, right?
“You mean to tell me Edmonton doesn’t have a better defenceman in their system than Jason Strudwick?”
They have Souray! :P
You know what the sad thing is?
Roszival couldnt find a girl even if he was placed in the middle of the Amsterdam Red Light District … what makes us think he can find a clue while playing the game of hockey.
What a clown.
yeah, our d needs some help, if you think about it the only difference in our d this year is Redden is gone and Emminger is in. Not much of an improvement. I also think Gilroy is a bust, he hasn’t shown much at all. I think we have decent forward talent especially with Gabby in the lineup, but we won’t be a contender with this core group of defensemen, I’d rather see Valentenko and Sauer over Emminger/Gilroy.
Jeff Skinner was impressive tonight. He looks like the real deal. He was picked 7th overall in June.
Gee, when was the last time the Rangers picked 7th overall? Oh yeah, that was back in 1998 when Smith drafted a center named Manny Malholtra. He passed on other centers like Gagne, Gomez, Ribeiro, & Brad Richards…
I more pissed off about that than the result of tonight’s game. I thought the Rangers did a lot of good things offensively.
Eminger is a terrible hockey player. No skill. Can’t skate. Takes dumb penalties. He has a mullet, but its not even a good one. Awful.
We have reached a sad state, I am actually going to watch the Devils game just to see if they get blown out again. It will make feel somewhat better.
Chico = Gomez Adams
Chico: “Marty was good in San Jose, Devils gave up 5 goals. He was good when the game was on the line”
Uh, that game was over after the first 10 minutes.
Wow..this team is going nowhere if they can’t play better defensively. Way to waste a great game by Lundqvist
here comes the whining…and we aint in Napa! These kids are working hard…we had over 40 shots, made some mistakes on defense and STILL almost won the game with our main offensive weapon still hurt. if this were last year’s team, i would feel more upset…there is effort here. I thought the refs were horrible tonight. There was that one shift in the Carolina zone where we had them pinned for a bit and I saw three blatant cross-checks that could have been called. One where a Ranger was down on the ice and cross-check again after originally being cross-checked to the ice! If not for Ward, this is a win. That happens tho. LGR!
LMAO CT…Chico is terrible.
Voros plays with Getzlaf and Perry, wow.
lmao gomez addams. absolutely spot on CT bravo!
Grachev’s big body looked impressive for what litte we saw of him…he has real nice skating strides for a big kid. I’m excited to see him play and develop. I know Prospal is seen as an old castaway, but we miss him. He was outstanding for almost the entire season last year, and his veteran direction would have been great on a night like tonight where the team just needed that extra intangible.
>>...I am actually going to watch the Devils game just to see if they get blown out again.
I’m joining you for a little dose of schadenfreude.
Voros isnt even NHL caliber. He is horrible. For a big guy his body checks coudn’t damage a delicate piece of origami made from the most sensitive silkworms from the Hunan province.
ok, my black eye pic is on my FB right now for those of you who care to see it lol. but i warn you. the hideous face behind the black eye might frighten you beyond saving!
Yeah Linda, and that isn’t a Halloween costume he’s wearing either.
And Marty could play Pugsley. Or at least the Pugsley from the 90s renditions of the story that kid was tubby.
LMAO CT, that is the BEST PART!! he looks like that all the time… and someone married him!
Pimp, I will tomorrow. It’s my work e-mail, and I don’t feel like signing on now :) Geez, the hours some of you keep amaze me, but Pimp gets the Golden Bonehead Award for overseas blogging!
CT, been a long time since a meet-up. Maybe Monday? and with LW?! Just a thought….
Jeff Skinner was a great Ranger! 50 goal scorer! (A Kitchener Ranger)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeff_Skinner
He was a figure skater? lmao.
Mama, are you going to the game? I’ll be at the game with 20 coworkers (insert corporate waste of resources here).
Are you suggesting Warren then?
Night fellow Roszival-lovers!
lmao niters pimp!
Linda, awesome!
Pimp, make sure you hand out flyers for International Rozsival Lovers society over there. At least you have things over there that would make memories of tonight’s Rangers game a bit “cloudy”.
Kovalchuk takes extremely long shifts and make a lot of risky plays at the blueline.
new post.
CT, I was, until you mentioned “I’ll be at the game with 20 coworkers (insert corporate waste of resources here).”
