So I guess now anything less than a sweep is unacceptable, right?
Same lineup, same lines, Lundqvist starts:
Avery-Christensen-Gaborik
Dubinsky-Stepan-Callahan
Fedotenko-Boyle-Prust
Frolov-Anisimov -Boogaard
————-
Should have mentioned earlier that Tortorella added that Drury and Prospal are doing 5-6 hours a day off-ice work. Not just going for a twirl and then going home.
———————
PRE-GAME UPDATE, 6:47 p.m.:
Warmup shenanigans with words, in close quarters, between Avery and Konopka, then Dubinsky and Konopka. Then Boogaard went way over the red line and forced Konopka to sidestep him. Then Sim flipped a puck off Avery’s chest, and had words with him several times (how do you not get fined for that?).

BOOOO
Dreary wont let all this practice ruin his healed finger. Or will he?
Hat Trick!
I just got myself 2 pairs of nice ladies velour gloves. Turquoise pair and Pink pair!

Either Ill do my best Michael Jackson impression (they’ve got rhinestones), or Ill give a pair to my Momma and my G’Momma!

BOOGAARD SMASH
Carp, you are a real master ! How can you get so many quotes out of the Coach ????
He must really love you :)
He was really like an open book :)
Thank you, big.
Good luck, 909!
sometimes you just have to put a penny on top of torts head to prevent him from repeating(aka skipping), like we used to have to do back in the day when the needle on the turntable needed replacing
hahaha! penny on top of his head. I might try that if he continues to be in such a good mood.
When will someone finally beat the sh*t out of Sim?
He’s the one agitator that nobody does anything to. He’s a wimp, I get it, but just kick his ass already, and be done with it.
by the way, how does such a young lady (26) remember needles on turntables?
omg firetruckin hockeystreams!!!!!!!!!!!!
lol Carpy, i love old school stereo systems lol
Carpy, I’m with you with the strong dislike of these car commercials!
ORR, maybe they think he’s related to the video game
Hm, You guys from the press have a wonderful postion in the arena and you can make your stay even more enjoyababe as hockey fan :
I would really like to join you even so early in the arena for a 7pm face off at arund for 5 pm conversation with the coach having a good burger before warm up followed after the game presser by the coach and couple of beers after all…
Great stuff but MSG coverage starts now :) Have a good game guys :!!!!!
lmfao this dudes name is zenon? Is he one of the founders of scientology??? oy vey
GO TIMEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!1
I go KOO KOO for GO TIME!!!!
GO RANGERSSS!!!!
Get the goddamn coin off my head. Get the goddamn coin off my head.
I absolutely despise the car commercials as well. And the fact that instead of creating jobs for the unemployed, we bail out car companies. Politics aside…
Sean Avery ought to tell Konopka to look at his résumé of women. Konopka’s prolly never seen a hot piece of azz in his life. Sean Avery could get a new piece each night if he so chose.
Konopka’s parents must have been He-Man fans or something.
Linda, I think he’s from Ork. Na-nu Na-nu
omg, Rolosons picture looks like he just had botox injections
LMFAO LW!!!
He Man and Ork, too much Orr!! you guys are crackin me up!
I wonder where Parenteau will go partying after the game.
JB, he’ll go to the white castle on hempstead turnpike
BOOOGAARD!!!!
RANGERS!!!!!
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh this frehleying commercial with these 2 bouchernozzles
RANGERS GAMETIME is…...Now!!!!
Zenon, Fish Forward of the 21st Century.
FIRE SATHER!
oh man, bill mccreary is the ref :((
FIRE MICHELETTI and RETIRE ROSEN!
I cant take these 2 jerkoffs anymore. They are as big a disgrace as Michael Kay is.
LETS GO RANGERS!!!!!
Parenteau is dead to me! I wanna see PAP smeared!
holy frehleying fix is in McCreary lol
get em Aves, get em all! If I read his lips correctly, he was telling ork he better hartnelling stop, he better hartnelling stop. hartnell him sean!!
phew….sorry about that :)
after this season, fyi, i hate hyundai, i hate that song and i hate that couple.
>>FIRE MICHELETTI and RETIRE ROSEN!
>>I cant take these 2 jerkoffs anymore.
They are driving me batty with their constant yapping about “the rivalry”.
A little gyn humor is always welcome.
JB, for those of you who are tuning in for the first time…....LMAO
Did you enjoy Fringe?
Roloson will be referred to as Botoxgrill
Linda, the Botox Grill is the only club P.A. will be able to get into after Aves blacklists him, lol.
LMFAO!!!
Olga, get your own jokes!
my still delicate tummy is getting all nervy…..
>>Did you enjoy Fringe?
LinCPB, Fringe was indeed wild. I had to watch it before going to bed.
JBytes – I cant take them at all. They yap about everything and anything that is unimportant. Im surprised they dont talk about what the opposing teams eat and when the opposing teams go the bathroom.
wow, i just wanna stab that guy in the eye with his freakin pen..
and hockeystreams freezes again. this should make me 4 minutes behind you guys
nore, not if the club’s in nyc :)
btw, loved the first potvin ducks right at the start…..
gotta watch it again online JB, it was that good!
lmao @ the nostril on the isles coach!
Bahama Mama!!! or Pajama Mama!!! HA!
We got Bill McCriminal as our referee tonight. I suspect we wont be seeing many power plays.
did he just say BIrian Boyle!
Birian i meant to type
CALLA-MAN
tHAT should be an Instigator on Joensuuu for starting the fight.
Birian is a countryman of Zenon.
You’;re on fire tonight Nore!
Put Boogieman on the ice!
must be nor!
Phantom elbow!
I bet the refs didn’t have his arm up until the Isles whined aboot it.
Tiki you and McCreary think alike! ;)
10 minutes misconduct onthe guy with the stupid name…...
Isles coach looks like a drunken sex offender.
Thanks Tiki, I’m home alone, whoo hoo!
Weee! PP afterall!
LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hilarious!
thanks carp
I’d buy you a car… oh wait. :)
Why is Aves offside so much???
Avery offside? Wow, I’m shocked!
Uh oh, Nore, did your family leave you behind accidentally when going on Xmas vacation? ;)
PLEASE DONT say I think like Bill McCriminal!
Carp,
I have an idea if you want to do that comment of the week. Maybe you can implement a “like” button similar to how it is on facebook and whichever comment gets the most likes can be the comment of the week.
Embarrassment of a PP.
wow 2 minutes behind you guys
Maybe it’s just me, but whenever the Rangers go offsides, Avery always seems to be the culprit…
909, they’d have to disable the like button for me, since just about everyone cracks me up
Okay – clearly it’s not just me…
lol Tiki, yes and Boogie and MZA are trying to break in : o
why won’t MDZ carry the friggin puck over the line.
Don’t act like you don’t recognize me! Toledo? 03? It’s too late, Stanley!
Now Aves is off ice, sheesh!
C3!!
and this is why you can not count on Avery.
Avery 10 minutes for being Avery
Still don’t understand the instigating with a visor penalty when you instigate a fight with somebody else wearing a visor.
Unreal call on Aves – can’t they just let these animals play a mean game of hockey??
Hi Linda!
if they are hypersensitive, they should not be referees!!
WHAT THE HARTNELL!!!
TIKI!!! Mark Streit again!!
Evening headzo!!! got the dishes done i see ;-)
Linda!!
Eminger trying to kill Hank by throwing a midget into him.
C3, did you watch it?
Joe Micheletti:
“So good around the net is Moulson”
Id like to get whatever Joe is smoking. It might help me relax a little.
And here Joe is defending Sim for getting hit from behind. Get over yourself you man-forearm-obsesses freak joe.
Another phantom call on Avery. Pretty soon the league is going to put a tracking bracelet on his ankle.
Avery got 10 minutes for saying “My God”?
cant even imagine what he would’ve got if he added “Oh” to “My God”
that must be the first goalie intereference call hanks gotten in years lol
Mark Streit – our New York Ranger.
And Moulson, Okposo. Joe and Sam are pitifully disgraceful
lol leetch!!
I am so ticked off now…...
btw, cally held his own great in that tussle. but I’m still ticked
LOL Linda.
That’s the first goalie interference penalty the Rangers have received in their 85 year history.
yes, I know it never Avery’s fault.
Tiki, that call will last a lifetime!
it probably will Nor!!
Id almost rather hear about Sidney Crosby. At least he’s won a couple things. These Islanders are pee wee leaguers that will never win anything in their lifetimes.
Dane Maloney says “my god” all the time, and he always gets away with it, so why can’t Aves? BS!
This game is STINKO.
lol at Orr
what is this, troutfaces birthday?
NYR should be embarrassed. This is a pathetic display.
Good thing I have 3 different types of beer in the fridge. . . .
Linda
yes i did watch it!! C R A Z Y!!! Feel bad for Broyles :(
Linda, gnome vs. trout, who do you choose??
boring game so far…
It is a pathetic display. They blow a two goal lead twice last night, and barely win, and now they’re having a tough time with them once again.
It’s hard to believe this team can make the playoffs with performances like this.
wow, after a two weeks of nothing but bad news, i just got a nice little gift in my email! $50 gift certificate code, to thank me for being a loyal consumer! THANKS!! too bad it wasnt cash, i could have made youse guys cookies lol
Me too C3, that was messed up!!!
cw, i hope one of those beers is a 40 lol
PLAYOFFS PLAYOFFS PLAYOFFS, WHO SAID ANYTHING ABOUT PLAYOFFS!!!!!!!!!
bull dog line –
This is why you cannot count on Avery???
So what you mean is, we cant count on Avery because the league and all the referees are out to screw the Rangers and Avery in particular.
I agree with you.
>>Avery got 10 minutes for saying “My God”?
The referee might be an Atheist.
I want to make this clear. Bull Dog Line is suggesting we cant count on Avery because the referees will cheat him.
So Bull Dog Line is blaming the referees.
Terrible period.
And what did Avery do to get that penalty exactly?
After watching the last seven periods, anyone who still thinks Blowzy is a decent player is nuts.
He is a living turnover machine. Constant giveaways. Terrible decision making on the power play .
Just a horrid horrid player! Oh and Eminger’s 15 minutes or 3-4 good games are up. Another fool who has no clue. You cannot be taken seriously as a team with a pair of scrubs like blowzy and crapinger!
Is Dubi playing today? I couldn’t tell.
Wake the he’ll up!
Tiki you’re an awesome spin doctor!
>>...just got a nice little gift in my email! $50 gift certificate code
Read the small print very carefully, Lin. You might need to spend $200 before you can redeem your $50 gift code.
WOHOOOOOOOO Playoffs here we come!!!!!!
We are building up for one Whale of a game!!!! cwgatti , Don’t fret the game with start getting ugly…its a given.
lmao JB, i think i got the gift code because i’ve spent more than that with this company!
damn you Patrick Turner grrrrrrr
Pardon me Tiki, but HOW BYFUGLIEN DARE YOU INSULT JOE!
Alright Patty , Shut the ‘el up. You always did like the azz’s better.
LOL Linda – dishwasher locked & loaded! Ready to run after the game!
you are on the ball Headzo! you’re one up on the woman now lol ;-)
How about some shots on goal this period?
Sorry Doodie. But I think I hate Joe Micheletti more than I hate Michael Kay! He was an Islanders broadcaster for 10+ years iirc.
Linda, you have to speak with Peggy to see how much your $50 will cost you :)
lmao! fifty cents!!
Someone kill Sim already.
Callahan is gonne get two games for that hit in the first, I’m afraid.
If the Rangers lose this game because they can’t play hard enough, it is a disgrace. Let’ go NYR
those 2 commercials crack me up nor!
2 goalie interferences in the same game in favor of the Rangers???
From Bill McCriminal??
Do you believe in miracles???
YES!!!
that “interview” with trout and lafontaine was a fishfest. that hartneller is smugly grinning all the time while praising the fish and knocking us…..what station am i watching! wtb is happening in this world!!!
tiki, LOL!
damn you hockeystreams!! argh
at least independence day is on
holy carp Tiki, the sky is falling! dogs and cats, living together, mass hysteria!!!
Pardon Me Rangers, but Sim must die for just hitting Lundqvist.
Also, how about a pass from stick to stick instead of stick to skate?
Linda – send me that $.50 for my dishwasher please…
McDreary still owes us 6 minutes from the carcillo aves call.
Cally wont get fined or suspended. IT technically wasn’t an illegal hit. It sure as sh*t was far from an elbow. Besides, he’s not a repeat offender, so he wont get a slap on the wrist.
the dishwasher, or the laundromat?
WEEEEEEEEEEEEE
WOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Eric Staal rules!
his elbow was not in the process of going up when the hit was made, it flung up AFTER the hit!!
thats my story and i’m stickin to it!
perry como
That was a CRACKER from Staal. 1-nil.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ginger scores!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
thanks you Staalllllllllllllllllllllllll!
Linda – is there a difference? I guess that’s why my dishes always break!
OMG since when did we learn to shoot on the power play? That was a howitzer!
Me too Linda, I always laugh.
Pardon me Linda, great Ghostbusters reference! I frequently use that line and the line that is close to it: “Yes, it’s true, this man has no [do we have a player name to represent this word yet?”
I gotta lie down :) see ya at break
lmao headzo! stop putting the fabric softener in the dishwasher!!
>>Eric Staal rules!
Can we trade for him?
lol Pardon Me! THAT is my favorite line of the movie! I think we should use SIM in place of the regular word lol
BWAHA! Nice mini-boarding by Dublowsky on Sim.
LMAO Linda!!!
That was a clean hard hit by Dubinsky. BS!
If I were Avery, Id seriously consider suing the NHL for discrimination.
To be honest, Ive got a bit of free time…Im going to contact some lawyers in NY and see if they’d file a perhaps frivolous lawsuit against the NHL for unfair business practices and discrimination against Avery.
How about Froggins’s facial expression when Staal’s ripper came in? What a sis.
Pardon me Sam, but every time you say “Comeau” I look up because it sounds like you are saying the word that identifies the hominid genus.
SIM= giant dillweed
Erc Staal is flaccid, no point in trading for him.
Where’s our ILB and Wickster??? We need them!
UNFAIR BUSINESS PRACTICES!
lmfao, I LOVE THIS PLACE!
Stepan will be an All-Star in 1 year’s time.
Sim smells like Carcillo
Pardon me Tiki, but they would not file a frivolous lawsuit because they (and you) would be subject to financial sanctions, and they would be subject to discipline such as censure, suspension, or disbarment. Most likely censure.
This is huge, Rosie O’Donnell huge!
Well, they called the diving on Sim. Very fair.
4 on 3 coming up. Lots of open space, have to score here!
Gabo on 3! Let’s do it!
Wow, tons of penalties so far.
Not sure I agree with a lot of the calls. For both sides.
Headzo, he looks like carcillo too! a hot steaming carcillo
Horrible pass by Callaman.
Great effort by Gaborik to get back.
oh no we’ll have a 5 on 3 for a few seconds…
duh, no we wont dont pay attention to me
Pardon me fans in attendance, but yelling “shoot!” when there are no shooting lanes is retarded. You should be shouting “skate!” so that they actually create openings instead of allowing the Islanders to close all of the lanes.
Froggin Fedo-stinko!
Linda!!!! – LOL!
Frolov sucks
Friggins lives!
Homina, homina homina
Pardon me John Giannone, but no one gives a carcillo about the Knicks.
Lawyers file frivolous lawsuits all the time. And Id have no problem paying the financial sanctions. Anyhow, I dont think it would be frivolous. There’s more than enough evidence against this league for their anti-Avery behavior.
Pardon Me Machetto, i was at the game on saturday, and the dude three rows behind me was yelling shooooooooooooooooooot when the Preds player was facing AWAY from the net up by the red line! It was quite hilarious
Knicks facing a ‘STIFF” test
Rangers have to stay “Hard and Firm”
uh, does the editor for playgirl work for msg?
Linda, i think Dirk Digler is the editor, lol.
mar TEA neck
He lost his Flavah!
Jon Sim, you can smell him a mile away
Boyle does his best Friggins impersonation
Gaborik was wide open and Avery didnt see him…
holy carp, i was almost on my way to the dollar store for skittles!
There’s a UK actor that I really like named John Simm! :)
Don’t forget Reed Rothchild, Norem.
Pardon me Tiki, but lawyers do not file frivolous lawsuits all the time. They may file lawsuits on which they do not have much to stand on, but that’s not frivolous. Frivolous is a lawsuit that on its face has absolutely no merit whatsoever.
Pardon me Linda, are you from Nashville?
Hey!
Sean Avery breathed! That must be an Unsportsmanlike Conduct penalty and 10 minute misconduct. How dare Sean Avery breathe!
i swear, sayin the names of the guys on the islanders, kinda sounds like a cat coughin up a hairball
Pardon Me – Okay. :)
Pardon Me Machetto, currently living in Alabummer, looking forward to our move back to the NY area in about 18 months!
eeesh, i wonder if hockeystreams thinks all this freezing up during free preview week is going to get them more customers
lmao Orr – he’s the Managing Editor
Pardon me Mama, but Avery is having a pretty bad game. Just sayin.
I almost barfed during that sequence.
damnit another pinger
sunday at 5, 4 for me
DING-DONG!
interesting
my last 2 comments didn’t post… i guess they are cracking down on the amount of carcillos in a night
sheesh, staal again!? He’s the new gomez
The new Jesus Gómez? But Staal only has something like four goals this year. That’s hardly comparable to the Mexican Gretzky. Oh wait…
Froloaf needs to be traded for Higgins .
Trade Higgins back to Calgary for Oli Jokanen .
Trade Oli for Prucha , then …..ah nevermind.
pokes the blog with a stick
WAKE UP!!
holy carcillo this commercial is on again!!!!!!!AAAAAAAAAAAARGH
LW, i meant in the interview department, but I see your point ;-)
We need someone to schmeplicate and make another Gabby.
HOLEY HELL , that good old stick poking sure wakes a guy up!!!
GO RANGERSSSSS!!!
We love youuuuuuuuuu!!!!!! GO GO GO GO , lets giver beans!!!!!
Go Rangers go!!!! Lets wipe these goofs off the ice!!! Hit , fight and show this team whos the “squirl master” ‘round here!!!!
lmfao @ giver beans!
Third period …beuty!!!!! Don’t worry folks , when ya playing Garbage , ya have to play to thier level and so far , yeah wese stinkin up the place.
OK,I asked for more shots on net, and I get two shots ON net literally… I see I need to be more specific. Rangers need to shoot INTO the net.
i love beans!
thank you for the clarification Olga, i’m expecting a Rangers goal any second now!
human beens?
beans beans the musical fruit
beans beans they’re good for your heart…..
Haha yeah Lin , its all about going all out and freakin on the other team..hence the term ,” Gotta giver beans!!!”
GO BOYS!!!
forced back by Prust, i’ll take that under advisement :-)
Greggie, i love it!
No Carp , not human beens ,tff …
...everytime you eat ‘em they make you…
GO RANGERS!! Gotta get anutha one!!!
Outta the blue CCCP says he likes beans. Wow I didnt think beans would be such a topic. HAHAHA I love winning!!!
Hey gang!
Just got home. What’d I miss?
beans…they give you wind! :)
PING
lmao C3
Lynrnd Skynard, thought they died? Have you run into them in Ala Linda?
PONG
If beans give you wind, then Joe Micheletti dont need any more beans. He blows enough wind….out of his mouth.
lmfao Nor, half the people here look like that! the other half are either from out of state, or have those jokinen nostrils
Sweet Home Alabama, play that dead band’s song :)
what the hell is up with sam and his sound effects! lmao hilarious.
and only SOME of them died Nor lol…
wait, i just lol’d after talking about death…
sam is losing me here…he starts a thought, then veers off into jibberish, then comes back…
wait.. THATS US!
By the way that line was from Warren Zenon, lol.
lmao warren zenon!! nor, you’ve been gone for weeks and come back quips ablazin!
Damn it all!
How do we not score? Unbelievable.
the gang that can’t shoot straight
oh man, anyone else but Prust ( and frolov, and higgins lol) probably puts that in
maybe this summer, Prust can get goal scorers hands too, then he’ll be a pugilistic goal scorer
ugh, faceoff
mickey, wouldnt it be awesome if there were only 3 faceoffs a game! one at the start of each period lol
I wonder if Hamonic owns a hammock
harmonica
Would be terrific, Linda. The team might actually fair decently on those.
I can’t believe Rangers can’t put away that AHL team.
PP! WEEE!
Hamoic plays the harmonica while hanging in his hammock
only if drury takes em micky lol
botoxgrill
the new schools chancellor in NY looks like the cartoon grinch!
Beautiful dive by Aves.
Already a sh*tastic PP.
Put ‘em away here?
NAH.
frolaaaaaaaahv, anisimaaaaaaahv
nice pass frolov, sheesh
Hamonic likes ham…and beans :)
did sam just clear his throat in the mic ?
at least 2 minutes were killed with the nothing powerplay
omg, it’s as if the puck is a freakin grenade for this team on the PP
FLAVAH
lmao Linda. 3 times to hit the empty net!
omg here comes the heart attack minute
Boyled fish for dinner! 2-0.
Empty netter BB!!
GAME! SWEEEEEEEEEEPP!
BOYLE! SCORES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
FUGG YOU FISHIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BAAAAANG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Torts wants to smile, but he’ll crack a bone.
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I CALLED IT YESTERDAY!!!!!!!!!!!! SKITTLES FOR ME TOMORROW!!!!!
>>omg here comes the heart attack minute
Sam Rosen sounded like he was having one.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!!!
hahahahahhahahahahahahahaha i gots me lucky charms!!!
Pardon me everyone, but as soon Boyle scored, I finally gloated to my former coworker via text message. He told me to go Buff myself.
Rangers are in 5th place!!!
We want the Cup-o-noodles! We want the Cup-o-noodles!
lol Pardon Me!
Haha! Did Fedetnko choke when Torts patted him on the back?? Ahaha! He was in mid-gulp.
Had a feeling tonight would be a close one after the craziness from last night
Linda did you order $50 worth of Lucky Charms?
you called that last night mickey! either before, or after i said Flavah would score!
lmao no nor, I freakin HATE lucky charms, but will have the small box tomorrow, then get the skittles! Sheesh, I brought skittles to the game last week and he didnt score, although I was happy to see him in person lol
FIRE SATHER! 5th is not good enough for 10 years in charge.
Linda, we must be psychic or something. LOL
Ok, talk of Lucky Charms reminds me that I’m starving.
Flavah always scores on a Friday night, or, at least, on a weekend game lol
i forget who said 2-1, but I like 2-0 much better! wheeeeeeee! take that DP!
Whom ever traded Higgin for Prust is a genius.
The GM who aquired Prust should be comended.
Getting Prust was a great move by our GM.
JBytes and Pardon, LMAO!!!
lmao Greggie! i think the gm acquired jokinen and Prust was an add on lol ;-)
Sam was having some trouble with getting his words out tonight, either that, or the audio on hockeystreams was as messed up as the stream lol
Greg, been meaning to ask. are you glad we have Prust?
Wow that was quite the battle, big differance from last night. The Rangers played a very good defensive game. Goaltending was the key I guess. I thought the Rangers were much better at the faceoff circle tonight. I don’t know the stats, but I would say the Rangers had a lot more genuine chances also. I know the isles are not a great team, but they always give the Rangers all they got when they play them. It’s good to see the two w’s back to back. Last year they would have likely lost one. Ottawa is next, that should be a little tougher.
Is that the same GM that got Higgins in the first place? Or Gomez? Or Redden? Or Drury? Or Holik? Should I go on?
He should be FIRED!
Sure wish I was well enough to be at warren tonight :) I just have a feeling…...
Well kittens and pups, I shall join your post-game fun tomorrow. Back to the healing zone. Great night all told, I think. LGR!!!!! TA!
the same one who got Brashear
the same GM, who drafted Dubi, Staal, Stepan,Cally, AA, Sauer, MDZ, Hank, signed Gabby, traded for Boyle. that guy.
THAT’S the guy, linda… The one that drafted Jessiman.
one of the strangest calls ive seen. Chris Kreider scores a tap in goal and proceeds to fall into the goalie after the puck goes in. Kreider gets credit for the goal and then gets goalie interference penalty…
i thought so olga. there were rumors he was a hockey genuis back in the 80’s if i remember correctly ;-)
sounds like their training the officials the right way all down the line oleo
The one that won 2 playoff series in 10 years? And not even in the same year. Yet he seems to have supporters somehow… They must be old Oilers fans. They MUST be.
for many years Ranger fans wanted the team to build with youth, through the draft, and play the kids. well this GM has given you that. while he deserves plenty of blame for many free agent mistakes, he deserves credit for building a team that seem to have a chance to good for many years to come.
The best you can give him after 10 years is “a team that seem to have a chance to good for many years to come”? What does that mean? Are you happy with that? Does that outweigh the last nine years?
BWAHA! Torts scared that reporter!
you like to look back, I like to look ahead. the future of the Rangers is good. there are many good young players already there, and many good young players on the way. they have a chance to good for a long time. many pieces are in place, there are still holes to be filled. center, and goal scoring winger.
Torts is a bully, yet he comments on others’ behavior. Al Trautwig handles him best by just laughing at him.
Faceoffs were 26-17 Rangers, according to the boxscore. And Stepan was 7-1!
Given how unreliable the MSG scorers are, not sure how much value to place on that.
The Rangers future will improve when they get rid of Sather. Dolan don’t know carcillo about hockey. Sather is the one who was supposed to know something. And he doesn’t. This years team may even make the playoffs. Big Deal. FIRE SATHER!
Olga,
I understand your frustration, and I am not trying to change your mind on Sather. I just see a brighter future for them, and Sather deserves credit for that.
I’m just sayin… :)
I don’t think we will ever see a CONTENDER out of Sather. I would consider being in the final four once in awhile as contending. I don’t see Sather’s Rangers ever doing that. He’s has had 10 chances and didn’t even make the playoffs half the time. Slats is not getting smarter with age. Too many big mistakes to cover the few small successes this year. He has got to go before we see any meaningful improvement. He’s had his chances. Bring on the next guy.
new post.
