Me, I’m freezing my tail off at a state football semifinal double-header.
According to our buddy Andrew Gross, Lundqvist starts in goal tonight, and Derek Stepan starts at center on the No. 1 line with Marian Gaborik and Alex Frolov, where he was effective in the third period against Boston Wednesday.
That mean Erik Christensen centers the fourth line, between Sean Avery and either Derek Boogaard or Todd White. John Tortorella said it will be a game-time decision which will play and which will be prucha’d. Well, he didn’t say “prucha’d.” But you know what he means.

Johnny, do you think chickens have personalities?
To echo your sentiments, all. R.I.P. Pat Burns … a good, tough, hockey man.
Watching online thanks to Rags2Riches tonight! Out in Amherst, Ohio at a nice B&B for my girlfriend’s college visit to Oberlin. :)
LGR!
Sorry to see Pat Burns passed… he was a firey hockey guy… RIP

Here we go, folks. Time to get back in the winning column. Go get them, boys!
I’m thinking aboot getting a pot-belly pig. Anybody know anything aboot them?
Hmm, I can’t seem to feel a win.
Let’s Go Rangers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dubi learned a lot from Jagr. Interesting to see how much Gaborik will help Stepan.
what are you gonna call him ORR, Piggins?
Rangers are going to score a bunch tonight… just got that feeling…
@@
here Greg…try this
http://games.espn.go.com/fhl/leagueoffice?leagueId=6148
Joe M loves strong lower body….mmmmhhhhh
There are a lot of similarities in Dubinsky’s style to Jagr… It’s quite amazing to see it develop… and will be interesting to see over the next couple of years exactly how far he takes his talents.
@@
who has a non-veetle link to stream?
Hi Linda! :)
white or boogie in?
LOL! That’s the first name that I thought of, but that would be unfair to him.
will we see win # 300 for Torts?
I saved it to my favorites CCCP , ty…Ill be going into it and fixing my mess!!!
Go Rangersssss!!!!
Potbelly pig….nice.
Dubinksky is full of confidence
thats pretty funny ORR! how about PeeWee? Olli?
hi tiki
“I’m thinking aboot getting a pot-belly pig. Anybody know anything aboot them?”
——————————————-
Yeah, they taste great with a little red-eye gravy.
Hi Linda…how are you? :)
hey C3, did ya catch our show last night?
I did!! craaazzyyy!!! now we wait for TWO weeks again!!
So, referees don’t call holding the stick penalties anymore?
and that will probably be the ‘fall finale’.... then we gotta wait until January…grrrrr!
guys who go by 3 names = serial killers
Linda
two more episodes this year…Dec 2 and 9… then it will continue in 2011 but doesn’t show exact date.
Sauer just removed someone from the crease
wooo hooo ilbzo!~ wicky will be ecstatic!!
thanks for the info C3!!
Glen Cameron Sather
You could call the pig Tim Kennedy, too, if you’re feeling like being mean to it. ;)
Make that Tyler Kennedy
Stepan reminds me of Ed Norton esp. the way Stepan talks
I thought I saw Pascal Dupuis but it’s Philippe Dupuis. Any relation?
lol, ya know, you’re right C3!!!
lmao Tyler Kennedy! manbearpig
Lin, you’re reading my mind tonight! The next name I thought of was Pee Wee. Haha!
Step-On does have that Ed Norton look. He’s no Hulk, so maybe we should call him Smoochy?
THAT’S what ORR should name the pig!! DuPuis!
haha Spiderpig. Tim Kennedy is the guy we’ll probably never see in a Rangers uniform, thanks to the decision to keep Todd AHL White lol
I was thinking DuPigsky before. Not sure though.
Wait! What the fugg am I doing? I’ll call him Oli.
anyone have a link????
Olli DuPigsky! LMFAO!! best pet name ever!
miked, i guess the atdhe.net is that veetle thingie you dont want, eh? you need to RIOT
Why are we hearing constantly about Shattenkirk???
Is he on the Rangers???
Who gives a Shit about Shattenkirk!
Cody McLeod from the Clan Mcleod
Sorry, that should have read, Who gives a Shat about Shittenkirk
Shattenkirk and Yip. The Avs got it going on!
Frolov sucks :P
Good looking P
adam ‘ricci’ foote
Stepan can sure make some nifty passes
Avery shoots wide. Shocking!
I like how he didn’t even consider passing to Pee Wee. Bwaha!
riot! grrrrr
RoboSon 4000!!
Glad to see Anderson back in there, not having suffered a major knee injury, but couldn’t he have waited one more game? :)
Let’s Go Rangers! :)
damn…cant even get the name right!
Decent period. Avalanche announcers are decent.
Carp,
Delayed response…
Breasts and thighs…Yes
Drumsticks and wings…Not so much.
They looked much better during the second part. Once they figured out they needed to play physical and stop stick checking. Stepan looked good so far with Gaborik…
Which ball was bouncing, John? Geez…
Ha! Carolina tied Pisstburgh in the last minute to send the game to OT! The good Jokinen tied it.
and now we continue with our first intermission show :)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TPT7ffQIHfE
Avs announcers are the best. That one guy is so hilarious. He flips out on scoring chances.
When the other team scores, he puts absolutely no emotion into the call. It’s so damn funny.
Gaborik can start an EXPLOSION!!!! Then all holey hellz gonna break loose folks!!!
A Goalapalooooza will be in session and we show these bums from Colorado that the Rangers mean bizness!!! A Dubinsky pass or goal could be the ticket here too!!!
Go Rangerssssss!!!!!!
2 pts baby!!!! We neeed points. Points. and yes , points!!
BTW we need the 2 points folks … no and, ifs or buts.
It’s kinda quiet here on the festivus blog tonight, eh?
Whalepack won 5-2 tonight! 2 goals for Kolarik, 1 for Zuccarello, 1 for Redden, 1 for Soryal. Weise is back and he dropped the gloves.
S’up gang? Just got home. Work was horrible today.
How the boys look so far?
just got home, game is blacked out for me tonight, anybody have any links to the game that are working.
how many goals did Joe Micheletti score for the Avalanche?
Im gonnna go with 0, for his zero personality and his zero talent.
Boys are lookin great Mickey!!! Sit down ,have a drink and relax …cuz ya made it just in time.
Stewart = MONSTER
Maybe I should go back to work.
WTB was Del Zotto doing?
no need to leave that rebound there. im already furious tonight; that didnt help matters
ATDHE.net
Mistake by MDZ
Not much MDZ can do there against Stewart…
Hey gang late to the party.
SIS!
They’re stick checking again. The Aves are too fast, take the body
BRRRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ouch!!! Feds cross-checked Duchene in the side of the neck!!!!
Wow. Feds getting nasty
Tenko is getting nasty. Sauer actually hit him on the chin prior to that
Three game suspension for Feds.
wow Feds got away with one there.
NYR- to pinch in was a mistake
COME ON BOYS TAKE THE BODY!
Avs are really fast. I didn’t realize that
we’re being outplayed here
It was ilb…just saying that Stewart made a hell of a play, and after that mistake there wasn’t much MDZ could do to stop him…Not sure if MDZ wins that battle if he’s in position anyway…
we need a goal , The avalanche are’nt that good…
Game over
Season over
DZ out of place again… He looks a bit spastic
That was ALL on MDZ AGAIN! WTB is up with this kid!?!?
MDZ gets burn again
Shat!!
Again…MDZ made a not so smart play
WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT GROWL!?
Not good. Gotta pick up their game big time.
What a bunch of garbage , don’t worry guys …The Aves cant play defense.
It’s getting late early….
wow what a deflection
I can’t say I’m surprised by how it’s going so far.
5-hole
still a 1/2 game left kiddies – lets not be all doom & gloom like ;)
PP TIME.
waiting for the “trade dubinsky” comments….
I still feel if the Rangers pick up their physical play, they can turn it around
lets go need a pp goal
DZ having a rough night.
Rough season, actually.
Absolutely a must score PP.
Less than inspriing PP
They’re trying to skate with the Aves. Not their game.
We can’t get any pressure going this game.
This team is at least a year and another infusion of top end UFA talent away from contention.
You are right Orr. In all honesty, it has been a disappointing season for MDZ so far.
DZ is playing confidently, but badly. Repeating the same mistakes over and over again. He needs to be taken off the PP for a while.
Ouch…
We suck :P
Mister Softie
get henrik outta there.
Ok, can’t blame MDZ for that one… Hank with another softie. Right move to pull him.
Delzotto looks like he is trying to be bad.
Hank yanked.
This game is full of fail.
Hank shouldn’t have even played in this game to begin with.
Let Biron get a game or two.
Mako, i LOVED that growl, it was freakin hilarious
WOW, this is pure suckage tonight so far
I think it’s hilarious that Avery and Christensen are on the same line. I can see Avery setting Fredo up with bad passes that expose him to getting flattened.
Orr!
at quick glance i thought “let biron” said “LeBron”
Matt Duchene assisted on his own goal. Now that is a superstar.
Shattenkirk!!!!
Beam me up Scotty! Shattenkirk!
so…what time is the game tomorrow?
this game is over. just forfeit and get some extra rest for tomorrow.
UGLY.
Plain ugly
Let’s see if NYR can show a little emotion, and start physically kicking ass.
File this one under stinker
Must be the altitude.
I just thought of a new incentive program. Whoever plays the worst has to sit next to Micheletti on the plane ride.
holy shattenkirk! i’m out… got too many issues i’m dealing with to watch this mess
Don’t beat yourselves up. This team is no better than last year and they didn’t make the playoffs and there probably won’t make the playoffs again unless there are some drastic changes.
Frolov = FAILov, while we are on the topic of FAIL. Who wants to play CoD Black Ops?
Hard to believe how bad these guys are tonight.
Night, Linda. We’ll continue suffering for you.
LOL @ Aves messing with Shattenkirk.
Del Zotto is a minus 4 tonight. Ouch.
I wouldn;t mind him sitting a game or two when Rozy comes back.
MDZ on for every goal. Good night.
Minus 4 tonight
5 points all season as our top point guy on the PP
Horrible
Michael Del Notto
I’m tempted to turn this sh*t off and watch “Inception” for the 12th time.
whats up with this ShatenJerk dude? why is everyone heels over head about this kid?
Del Zotto is doggin’ it this season. It’s like he’s not even the same player he wa last year and even then he needed work.
Stellar period
Stupid pass by Del Z on the PP. This kid needs to sit for the rest of the game. He’s just not doing anything right.
Does Avery EVER get a good shot off??
1 of the worst efforts of the season so far.
3 mega negatives. btw why did it take 35 minutes for the stute announcers to recognize how bad del zotto is playing.
del zotto has been horrible… frolov cannot finish at all. people question why stepan is on 1st line, whjy is frolov on that line? he sucks…
avery and prust try hard, tough, but they are journeyman.
frolov and del zotto have been horrible in every way as well as our announcers that never say the rangers suck when they do…......
Once the coaches get through to young Michael and let him know everybody’s got his number and he adapts, he’ll be fine. It’s not a good season to be a defenseman unless you’re on Boston. Lotta goals scored league-wide this year, unless you’re on the Devils. Lotta blow-outs, especially if you’re on Edmonton.
New around the league…
David Schlemko has an assist
NYR sucks
Craps get shut out 5-0

—
well, if that isnt the perfect description of tonight, im not sure what is.
we’ve even gotten 3 or 4 or 5 power plays and done nothing. cant fault the referees for this garbage performance.
Would love to be a fly on the wall in the Ranger’s locker room between periods.
del zotto should change his name to home run or the gambler. btw they are both negative comments.
he is making a ton of mistakes.
btw stepan with numerous good passes to iron hands frolov already tonight…
they need a pp qb and they need 1 addtl sniper…..
bad bad effort.. boyle has looked slow also tonight, not his best game but DZ has been horrible…
and the announcers continue with the blather…..
If we had John Erskine, we’d score a bunch of goals.
I havent watched the game so far, but i see Del Zotto is -4. Ouch. Why is he on the 2nd pairing over a guy like Sauer? Because he’s a lefty or is it because he’s an offensive stalwart (1G 4A)?
I’ve been saying it all season, his defensive play has gotten worse and he isnt producing offensively.
It sure isn’t good to be a Ranger defenceman, when they are playing the Aves.
I’ve never seen a player who more consistently does ABSOLUTELY NOTHING than Frolov.
Cogliano gets a game misconduct/major for boarding and Edmonton scores a shortie on the ensuing kill. 3-2 Oil.
Frolov was a mistake. I understand why LA fans and the GM ran him out of town.
Is EC hurt on that play? Soft.
staal the best player on the rangers game in and game out. when he screws up you notice. dz is gambling at 1 to zip why??????
dz needs to use his brain….....
the wall pain is melting very fast in Rangers locker!
frolov does nothing while getting primo opptys. almost every game…
he should have 8 goals the guy has 3 from a grand total of 5 feet away…
he also is one of the many ranger culprits who instead of going for the easy clear often pass back or circle around just so the opposing team has a higher porbability oif stealing the puck and getting a good scoring oppty.
frolov is a specialist in this are of f-ck up….......
DZ seems to have bought in a bit much to his own publicity from the Rangers. He needs to be taken down a peg—he’s not actually the second coming of Bobby Orr. How about smart and simple, and worry about the Hall of Fame later? Believe it or not, this team misses Rozy.
Frolov couldn’t have been THIS bad with LA. He’s afraid to make a play
ugly .
Brutal.
Lame.
Weak.
Pathetic.
Bush league.
Come on boys!!!!! 3rd period is comming up . Its all up to us if we wanna come out and compete. Its either gonna be an embarrassing blowout or a season starter . umm I have to admit it does not look good fir us but im still pulling for the us to do something!!!!???
Miss me yet????
again because sauer keeps it simple defensively he is the 3rd best d man behind girardi and staal.
i mean if we can see what he is doing wrong how can he not see this????
the homerun pass is ok on occassion he tries it all the time.. The pinch, is ok against a slow team or when the probability of getting the puck is well over 50% or when you are down late in a game.. gambling down 1 to nothing in the 2nd period, WHY??????????????????????????????????????????????????????
Oh and there is absolutely, positively ZERO excuse not to call up Zuccarello to play in the next game.
Waiting for someone to say we miss Dreary
No, it’s Avery game to miss… a net with every shot.
Did Pidto say ” Hope you’re enjoying the Rangers hockey”? Sure thing…
I don’t miss Rozy, kc. There’s nothing an injured Roszival would have done to make this better. Maybe he would have taken a few of those minus ratings away from Del Zotto, but that’s about it.
Game’s off, CoD Black Ops is on.
still DON’T miss Roszival
Better yet, why not call up Dredden? We need a big shot on the PP. Clearly he’s our best prospect down in Hartford.
Blue Seat
Rosi has had a much better year than MDZ
I’d like to see them come out and compete the way they did all deaso
Season
Guys Frolov will play well, it just needs to be 6-2 before he does.
What a disaster. MDZ needs a seat tomorrow night, WTB is he doing?
Delzotto started playing bad at the end of last season. They were saying he was young and tired, not used to playing so many games. Well it has carried over, but he is young, but he has to play the game a lot smarter than he is right now. I think he will be the d man we all expect, but it will take time. As for now I don’t see the sence in playing him on the powerplay, he is a big part of the problem.
Zuccarello had a Goal and Assist tonight.
Kern, maybe a fairly better year, but that’s not saying much. Both are liabilities at this point. Bring up Valentenko.
Sit MDZ tomorrow? And play with 5 d-men? Interesting.
Redden could be a sleeper ORR …We bring him up , juice him up on the PP and let him play the PK. His value goes up and we ship him out to Edmonton. Ala Renney Rental . Too bad the Oilers are garbage and will never ever make the playoffs again.
The good news…Del Z is still really young.
He’ll get better with time. That’s just the way it goes.
Is this horror show over, yet? Everything turns over and goes in in this shameful porn. I’m fed up. Poor Torts.
Turco getting shelled in Calgary. 3-1 Flames.
Well, that went south. :(
Hope so Orr
If they score one goal in this period, I’ll be happy.
Why does it seem like our PP game plan consists of fighting for the puck along the wall for 2 minutes?
you guys whine like you been watching them for forty years..
season is still early
wait until Capt D returns
a goal every five minutes. They would be lucky to get a shot every five minutes.
Interesting stats there… head to head, the Western teams are slaughtering the Eastern teams this year
When is this team going to show some balls? Fuggin vagina-heads.
Trade the Rangers!
Oh well. Thought I could take the third period, but nope. G’nite folks.
Did he say a goal every five minutes? Here is number one. By Avalanche
Girardi thinks it’s the ‘09-’10 season
Ugh.
Girardi must always have a wet ass jersey after the game with all the time he spends lying on the ice.
Torts should play the 3rd and 4th line as much as possible and rest to top guys for tomorrow’s game.
...and make them do a bag skate while Colorado’s 3 stars are throwing pucks to the departing audience.
Here is your come back
I told you all Step-On would score :P
Bwahaha! We still suck!!
Good for Step. He needed that.
At least somebody was right calling Stepan for tonight. Yay!
The Rangers—at their best when the other team stops trying.
We’re getting raped, bullied, embarrassed.
Prust hurt
What a night
Oh man. Prust.
That doesn’t look good.
Funny, how in Roszy absence, new scapegoat raised – Frolov. Congrats, now at least we know who to blame for all mistakes and lack of scoring today and always. What happened to all folks favorite MDZ – for long period of time he’s playing like minor league quarterback after lobotomy, constantly? So quick to put on pedestal and even faster throw the stones.
Oh no, this does not look good.
Listening to the radio. Maloney was just lauding Ryan Wilson saying how solid and hard he is. Ewww.
Prust got a facefull of balls.
Why are Joe and Sam so baffled by Prust being hurt? That looked painful, his neck/head snapped back.
Is Dubi in the lineup tonight?
Cally back to cover for another Del Zotto mistake.
What a shock, Frolov just lost another battle for the puck
Rangers need to spend more time in the penalty box. They play better when the refs are more antagonistic.
The Rangers are making these guys look like the next Stanley cup champs.
I have watched the Aves play a few times this year. They are fast , and pretty good, but not this good.
Step-On’s first goal in 19 games. Wow!
Why are Boyle and Aves smiling? Get mad, and go beat the sh*t out of someone!!
The best penalty kill in the NHL is the Rangers power play…..does that make sense?
One last bad shift for MDZ
The night is complete
Would anyone pull the goalie? :-)
At least Stepan is showing he can roll with Gaborik…
My memory is not great, but this has to as bad as they have been so far this season I think.
Yeah this is pretty much the most craptacular effort by the Rangers of the season.
Torts waiving bye-bye to the refs.
Maloney just said Avery was standing up for Fredo. Is this true?
See that Fredo. That’s what it means to be a teammate.
Avery showed them.
Another one in the record book.
Fredo still needs to be shot on the boat.
Or get caught masturbating in a movie theater like Pee Wee :P
Bad game all around.
Thankfully they play tomorrow.
Been a long week, so I’m out. Nite all.
Well, that was remarkably unsatisfying. Niters all!
that was a masterpiece. man todd white sucks, how did anyone pay him over 2 mill.
delzotto sucked huge. gilroy soft on the puck if that does not improve he will never ever be anything.
frolov is slow and sucks..
as stated not this year but in about 3 Stepan is going to be like doug weight, he will be a star, huge hockey IQ.
del zotto needs a lobotomy…...
so the games you give away point hurt when you are not a great team. henrik has given up softies that hurt in at lest 3 game sthis year, those points will kill…
man I cannot wait to frolov is gone and white..
avery stinks his fan club/ whta does he do but chirp? skates well sure cannot hit the net, ie 2nd period 2 on 1, did not even hit the net… he sucks….........
I am concerned about the soft goals Hank has let in this season. He has played well but it seems that a softie is given up every time he plays…WTB?
Good for Step. Good call Orr!
MDZ should go to HFD to work on his game. Bring up Kundratek or V-Tank.
I also wouldn’t mind seeing Zuccarello up here soon. We could use more talent on the wing. Froloaf is useless…
RIP Pat Burns.
Yotes win it in the shooootout.
“I don’t give a damn about Craig Anderson.” Torts
Stuart…you make many good points…The Todd White Experience has been quite thrilling…
Torts insisted he wasn’t upset after tonight. He sure sounded upset to me!
Probably a minor point, but, Avery’s line goes off-side way too much. It doesn’t matter who’s on the line with him. Even last year this happened. I figure it must be him. He’s the common denominator. It kinda drives me nuts.
Poor effort by almost everybody tonight. I don’t know why. I guess these things (unexplained inconsistancy) are to be expected. It’s all part of being a Ranger fan. Lucky us!
last
