Yee-hah! Hockey in Texas!
Sean Avery makes his return to Dallas, his first since his “sloppy” exit. He’s going to play where he finished the last game, with Artem Anisimov and Marian Gaborik. Those three had some good stuff going—I thought it was one of Avery’s best games, and one of Gaborik’s best, too.
John Tortorella told reporters in Big D that Avery is going to get minutes because he deserves them off of last game, but I’d bet that even if Avery hadn’t had that game, Tortorella would ride him tonight. Why? Because a motivated Avery is the good Avery, the annoyingly effective Avery that we often see vs. the Devils, Flyers and Islanders. I expect him to be flying and yapping and taking Stars down with him tonight.
Ryan McDonagh makes his NHL debut in place of Michal Rozsival (ribs). There are no pruchas.

All aboard the pain train!
lol No, his priorities are not in order. He’s probably only seen and been on here for 5 games in the last 2 months. Ever since this new chick came along, ARGHHH!! If he misses Yankees games next year, Im gonna be pisssssed! :)
Orr – Deal!
Zucca just said “work my ass off” on MSG and then said “sorry for the language”!!! HAHA!
WooHooo Roszival is out tonight! McDonagh is in!
Orr – you think you’re better than me?
Rangers win 3-1!
Weise, Aves, and McDonagh score. BOOM!
And fugg MSG for playing that bouchebag John Mayer over NYR hockey. Losers!
I know I’m better than Del Zotto, because Carp didn’t send me to the minor league blog, AKA Blueshirt Bulletin.
Giagnome trying to show off for Richards, telling him aboot how he googles. Bwaha!
REPOST
enforcer = you can’t play hockey or skate very well, so you bully guys, talk carcillo, take penalties, and start fights…
repost:
i wanted brad richards. and then i saw stepan play and changed my mind.
also, wish I was in Dallas rather in Houston at work :(
What’s the scoop? Any pre game fireworks?
And where the byfuglien is everybody?
Strained cartilage, Torts? Please, stick to hockey…
And a natural hat trick.
Rozsival is out due to spare ribs? Nice! Bon appétit, Rozy!
TORTS! He just explained his use of Avery re TOI. And how Avery is inconsistent, and if Aves gets it going like Wednesday, he’ll see more ice time.
im here
I assume you can’t strain cartilage :)
>>...the minor league blog, AKA Blueshirt Bulletin.
Don’t Rangers fans have to pay to join that league?
LMAO @ Prust chewing too loud!
These Allstate adverts crack me up.
wooohoo! I love games that are more my time. Let’s me get stuff done beforehand.
I almost threw my beer at the television when I saw that Boomer and Carton promo
You know when I love Blowzy?
When he’s injured :P
Technical problems? I’ll show you technical problems, MSG!
NO. NO. NO. A MILLION TIMES NO TO RICHARDS!
I’ll take a mute MSG2 over the Curses network!
LGR!!
Sire Father!!
LMAO @ Prust bullying Gilroy in the pre-game skate. Anybody see that?
anyone have a link?
Yeah, I did, Orr. I think Prust figured since Torts bullied Gilroy all year long and it work, he’d do it before every game
Yeah saw that Orr – he’s making a man out of him!
This sports bra commercial is so full of sh*t.
Girls don’t act like that in school. The pull each others hair, and make fun of each others body until they develop an eating disorder.
No man should ever wear skinny jeans. EVER.
shudders
Let’s go boys!
Let’s go get them in Texas, boys!
Del Head, that’s what the showers are for :O
game on!
Yeah Orr but she’s hot so that’s why we wacth!
Who’s going to deliver the honorable Messier’s elbow to Richards?
Jaime Langenbrunner: “The Captain of the Detroit Devils” Hmmm, Sam, drink a bit too much?
Aves on ice now. Let er rip, Sean.
nevermind
Orr – spot on
welcome to the NHL, McDonagh
HANK!
Morrow shoving Dreary?
No pizza for you!!!
How are ya Headzo?!
Looking a little too much like the 10-2 game or whatever it was a couple of yrs back.
obvious interference
Artie, keep your head up.
anisomov gets nailed again
Think they’re having McD play tonight for the Stars organization? A little trade bait for Richards?
Great Tiki – how you doin?
WTB two games in a row blacked out for me!!! Arrgghhh!! Lets Go Rangers!!
Why does Frolov get PP time over Boyle?
Great Headzo!!
Zucca nearly scored there.
n country – you can use it again tonight if you want :)
Another spectacular PP by the boys.
Go Weise!
Good game so far, nice pace
Weise does not bring peace?
WOAH!! Weise landed an uppercut there! BOOM!
props for weise for going with ott
There might be a broken nose in there.
got a link just in time for the weise fight
ummm…..do the Rangers ever practice passing to each other?
never looks like it.
orr, ROFLMAO on the minor leagues of ranger blog…blueshirt bulletin!!! I’m dying ova heah!! you feel me, bro-dizzle?
Dallas is flying thru the neutral zone, Rangers gotta step up a bit
these dallas announcers are putting me on some major monkey tilt..im steaming like a dumpling!
hey Tiki I found a link on chanelsurfing.net that is working, if it gets to choppy i’ll take you up on your offer, thanks
I think I’m more impressed with MZA’s willingness to throw his small body around than his hockey talent. I wish the guys who are taller than him on this team threw their bodies around a little more.
SOFTQVIST!
Stay in the crease, Hank..
WTF!!!!!!!!!!!! is the reason for Hank to get out of the net?!?!?
Aw poop!
Welcome to the NHL, McDonagh.
he’s terrible. TERRIBLE!!!!
Hank always lets scrubs score goals on him.
Weak puck handlin by the King.
Of course a guy that never scores.
no problem n country!
1st goal in 30 games for this loser Sutherby.
Mabye Avery can answer this game with one or more of his own.
Byfuglien
Why can’t Hank just stay in the god damn crease? That actually makes life me simple for the d-men.
can they make ONE byfuglien pass to each other?!?
they look like it’s a shinny and they’re just hitting the puck around and chasing it.
D is getting shredded off the rush.
defense? Please.
Mother Canucker! Gilly robbed…
If Richards cleans up against the Rangers tonight he’ll be wearing blue on July 1. And the way the Rangers are playing in their zone that very well could happen.
LET’S GO RANGERS, SONS!! where the byfuglien is greg?????
More shifts like that please.
If not for this self inflicted goal, Rangers look disent.
riberio reminds me of gomez…only with creativity and effort
i skate faster than drury….and i’m a stay-at-home d-man playing in a beer league
Who is this Richards kid they keep talking about? He looks pretty good
Good PK.
miked, you mean Gomez wasn’t creative? He had a new entry into the offensive zone every time. ;)
Can’t blame McD for that first goal. He may not know that his goalie can’t play the puck.
Ping!
Son of a beach
Someone remind Sam that lines are always messed up after a PK.
D’OH!
Playing much better after the PK.
Gomez could cook too. He had lots of creativity.
I don’t want to see a replay of that Staal miss because I don’t want to know how much room he really had.
Zuccs is flying
Great work by “the Zukester”
MZA with a great shift. You can see confidence is up
one thing about finally having the chance to really watch Zuc play
is that every time he’s on the ice it always looks like something good
is about to happen.
1st line play like a first line.
very impressive how he got by 3 guys to take the puck all the way up the wall
the stepan, zuke, dubi looks good, zuccs is flying
That’s why his name is Stahl, not Staal!
Better in the 2nd half of the period.
Stale
Hank blew that period for us.
Got better as the perioid went on. Need to tighten it up defensively though
They started looking better toward the end there. Let’s hope they can keep that up.
that was a pretty exciting first period despite the one goal deficit
Very entertaining, albeit low scoring, game. How many of those we saw last year involving the Rangers?
As a New Year resolution for AA I would like him to gain about 30 lb. of bison’s shoulders quality meat on his big frame and couple free lessons from Klichko brothers.
i love the dubinsky!!!
Stupid ass Joe Mich, giving McDonagh sh*t for the goal. IT WAS HANK’S FAULT!
When will this guy realize he sucks at playing the puck, and will forever suck at it, and just stop trying to do it!??
not worried about being 1 down after the first, we’ve been a better second half team lately
MZA ♥
Agree, Orr. Hanks’ goal all the way.
Kids were simple good IMO. despite a stupid goal
Seemed like McD got alot of minutes in the first…or maybe I just made a point to notice when he was on the ice.
ORR,
agree wholeheartedly
kinda gald i have the Dallas broadcast on the link I found so i don’t have to listen to Joe M.
CT Whale facing Ranger killer Cedrick Desjardin tonight. 2-2 in the 3rd period.
Meanwhile, Toronto leads Atlanta 8:1. in 2nd. Unbelievable!
He’s the 6th rookie to make his debut this season, Giannone, not the 5th.
And I’m calling dibs on McD.
OMG!!!I didn’t see how close Staal was on open net. Shaize!!
Bet Staal can’t repeat that shot even of he wanted to.
Let’s get this baby tied up, eh boys?
so they show the replay again
and Hank looked like Rozy at the blueline
during a pp
and
as usual
the other Rangers didn’t bother
to cover the middle of the ice.
Bad penalty
Prust= monster
To have thisPrust is a must!
WOOOOOOOOOOO!
WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Clutch, baby!
Fedex delivers!
Feds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tenko very much!
Wow.
FEDS!!
Another shorty!
goooooooooooooooooooal!
Great hustle by Feds
Still leading the league in short-handers? 1-1.
Yeah, I felt it!!!!! Now, KILL’EM!!!
i thought Clutch got it.
whatever.
it’s a goal.
and that’s a good thing.
Good kill and a goal. I love PK’s like that :D
anyone think drury will score more than 5 goals this year?
wow!!!
2 passes that connected!!
I thought Dru helped?
Great pass by Step-ON.
Frolov sucks
Who needs Richards we got Stepan.
whoa. dallas is playing RANCID!
I wonder if Frolov would be able to score an empty netter
WTB where is MZA?
Aves looking like he normally does.
I thought he’d at least mix it up tonight. He looks very dreary.
Who needs Richards we got Stepan.
***
Post of the day. Exactly, CT.
Guess Dallas is getting the memo…
Maybe he fell through a small hole in the bench?
Can tell AA and Frolov don’t play together much with the collision.
Juri Let it in
What happened to the Stars fans? That arena looks half empty.
Gabby, wake up!!
Great play by AA. Keep pressing, boys…I really like their game
>>Gabby, wake up!!
I think he looks out of place with Step-ON and Dubi.
Can you imagine Artie being 30lb. heavier and with his chin up? Our future bright.
dumb penalty
stop takin penalties
WTB??
That’s a ridiculous penalty call.
Eminger was out of position on that one
looked more like he just pushed him down than tripped him
(and yes i did see the stick)
cmon another shortie
Prustie, please another one
Prust ♥
we should ask to be a man down
whenever we get a pp
we have more scoring chances.
Good chances SH, keep taking penalties.
Damn it
Yup….
craaaaaaap
Hank can only save so much.
Another dumb play by Eminger leads to a power play goal…
I knew they were going to score. The way they were moving the puck, you can just see it coming.
By the way, Ribeiro looks like Alladdin addicted to crack.
They didn’t deserve this goal. Not at all!! Arghhh!
well, Clutch i guess was just busy following
Gilroy to find out what he wanted on his pizza
rather than cover someone in front of net.
Dubi got there late.
yeah….........still sick and still cranky.
OMG roflmao Orr! Ribeiro is Alladdin on crack!
That’s hilarious Orr! I had the crack part but you made the Alladin connection for me.
How to stop Rangers unwarranted penalties?
Expect the Rnagers PP soon
mcdonagh got wheels!
lol Orr on Riberio
Where are the Avery and Gabby from the other night? Did the team leave them in NY?
g1 on alfonso ribeiro, orr…lol
Who cares about Lang, morans
I hope they show us Langenbrunner arriving at least 3 more times. It must have been heartbreaking for Langenbrunner to be traded away.
Dreary got tossed like pizza dough.
Clutch got dumped
Dru, -The Warrior!
LOL that hit on drury was fastest he’s moved all season
Dubi on the rush is becoming pretty hard to stop
Rangers look scared.
Maybe a goon would make them play better?
we’ll be lucky if we’re down a goal at the end of 2
Torts line juggling again
I wet my pants every time Hank is out of crease.
The Captain got tossed around like a rag doll.
who are the morans? family that owns the Stars?
Captain got tossed like a big pizza pie!
Maybe Benn jumpstarted Drury?
this period reminds me of watching the playoffs against Washington a few years ago. Dubinsky is out there making things happen but he has no help.
Sorry Orr. You already said that.
Does Gabby know the game started?
Hey, I’ll be at that game! :D
No problem.
Exactly how do they think they’re going to fit Richards under the cap with the RFAs.
I’m kind of OK with McD making small mistakes – him being baptised in a game like this is w.orth it
if they’re going to call ott for that little tap against Artie
then they should have called the punch in the face to Sauer
Need to leave 1 forward in the D zone and pretend they’re shorthanded.
Sad when Staal looks like a better offensive force than Gaborik
Mao,
No, I meant Sam&Joe
Ott is playing the NEW YORK RANGERS…that’s why he didnt get more than 2 minutes. Quit laughing like one of the 3 stooges, Joe. You’re a moronic piece of carcillo. Although I always appreciate homerism, Girardi/Staal is the best defensive duo in the NHL? Loser.
Gabby has been useless tonight, as he has been for most of the season.
4ever,....ah ok,...thnx…got a million windows open…my bad, bro.
I like our chances tonight for at least 1 point.
New york should become its own country!!
ok, dishes time..
does the Chili’s flying pepper look a little too phallic?
“Pass 1, Pass 2 Pass 3 Pass 4 Pass 5 Pass 6 Pass 7 Pass 8 Pass 9 Pass 10, shot, shot, shot, pass, goal”
Wow, Joe, you fuggin piece of crap, no team in the history of the NHL has ever completed 5 straight passes on a power play and then gotten lucky to have 2 rebounds go right back to them.
Drury is 100% in the faceoff circle tonight. The rest of the team is 27%. (Too bad clutch has taken only 1 faceoff).
You’re right mao!
New York is the center of the universe; the greatest and most diverse place in the world.
can someone please explain to the rangers the idea of a powerplay is to move the puck quickly and make the defense react.
why do we always stick handle on the perimeter with the puck and make 3 foot passes?
is it really this difficult? why don;t we try watching the caps/penguins/stars?
So, now that the Devils aren’t so good, Brodeur is constantly taking himself out of the lineup. Could it be because he doesn’t want to end up with the most losses record [352]? If so, look for him to retire very soon because he stands at 342 losses already. Bwahahah! Uncle Daddy cannot take the good with the bad, eh?
>>New york should become its own country!!
That’s how civil wars start, you know? Anyway, I say let’s wait and see how Québec pulls it off first.
tiki, all these announcers hate on us….. friggin hillbillies! all hail the tiki!
@jbytes LOL …FREE CITY OF TRI-INSULA!!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secession_in_New_York
>>...the idea of a powerplay is to move the puck quickly
You need skilled and finessed guys to move the puck quickly.
I still think Rangers play good. What make me proud, team shows that we can succsesfuly play on their level with 1st in the West and East. (with 2nd at East is a problem thou).
I’m in china tho….i think.
I dont think Joe is hating on us. He’s just a stupid moron with no intelligence whatsoever. He’s dumber than my puppy, Teddy, who falls while running up steps all the time. My dog knows more about hockey than the idiot.
Tiki has been hailed! She is on her throne, wearing her booties! Queen Tiki!
All hail King Mao!
agree with you 4ever…our worst matchup is Flyers.
tiki, im listening to dallas feed…they are playa hatin…u feel me, son?
I really cant stand Conan OBrien. he’s not even remotely funny. he has the sense of humor of a mime.
I’m home! Quick recap anyone???
mao – i feel you. of course, every opposing announcers hate on all new york teams. i would love to hear a broadcast of the stars/bruins on the dallas feed…. they’d be lauding the bruins and bashing their own players like “Brad Richards should be more like Tyler Seguin”
Good game, mama… We are down 2-1. Avery looks ok :-)
hahaa!!
mao,
You can’t survive in China with name like that, particular written with no capital letter. You’ll be accused of superiority complex and discourse to Greatest Great,(not Gretsky).
ROFL…ok, im in brooklyn then…i must still be in character. lol
Let’s go, boys!
how they treating aves? any scuffles? I want to win this!!!!
We are SO awesome on the PP.
Another penalty?
A penalty?
LGR!!
MZA is throwing his miniature body out there quite a bit.
That was a penalty?! WTB are the refs smoking tonight?
Aves has sucked, and done nothing.
are these refs confused by the dark uniforms
and think we’re playing the penguins?
That was it? Oh my
the refs are just cheating us tonight, simplest answer.
although we’ve been treated quite fairly for some of this year.
Prust just reminded the ref the penalty was a byfuglien joke
Might be time for Avery to get his revenge.
If Aves didn’t stay down like a wimp, he might have scored there.
“He stays with it”
“Not anymore, hahahahahahaha” says Joe M.
Well, thanks Joe for laughing at our player.
I reallly dislike this guy.
so is robidas avery’s dentist? wtf was that
can’t Avery do more than the blind pass?!!?!?!?
sheeeesh!
Joe Micheletti is a joke of a broadcaster and a joke of a human being.
im just angry tonight.
elvis costello, rancid, neon trees…
at least dallas plays good music at the rink
Prust sold that one, for sure.
Please be as productive as the PK this time
prust made sure that there was a make up call.
too bad we’re now on the pp
rather than pk
(would show more offensive threats)
On the PP. I’m scared.
Gabby holds the puck too much on the power play. Shoot it or move, Marian.
We will score on this PP.
We will score on this PP.
We will score on this PP.
Retarded PP, led by Gabby.
didja notice Zuc get “big” when dallas shot puck in our zone?
AA!!!!!!!
AA!
Ar-Tea Time
AA!!
Hey Hey Artie A!
AA, what a sniper
Dear me! What a shot?!! 2-2.
Trade AA. Fast!
told jpg’s sister
that Artie needs to step it up.
nice!
AA! You could feel him buzzing all night. Take that Steve Ott!
AA PPG!!!!!!!!! yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Hartnelling Power of Positivity, baby! Mother Hartnellers!
Who needs Richards we have Artie and Stepan!
Lundqvist 2 game assist streak!!!
Lundqvist on a two game point streak?
Dallas should introduce themselves to Artie, because he’ll be playing with them soon.
HANK!!!
Artie is a sniper
You called it tiki!!!!
A number of close interference calls not made, look when the Rangers dump the puck in at the line the Stars constantly engage the Rangers player.
haha, hank has more points in two games than most of his team :)
Lundqvist is as good as Gretzky! Bye-bye TGO streak.
More than everyone except Zuccs!
LOL Anisimov is supposedly one of the players Dallas wants from us.
i really dislike conan o’brien, more than you guys dislike Brodiva.
DJK- they can dream pn
to local viewers: I would rather live in my car than hire David Babel to handle my bankruptcy :)
tiki, don’t get angry …im worried about the damage you are doing to your esophagus…ok?
On
Dubi- Captain Lunestra- Stepan?
ooookay
lol mao!
Conan O’Brien is a god!
Sean Avery will score the game winning goal tonight.
Sean Avery will score the game winning goal tonight.
Sean Avery will score the game winning goal tonight.
Gaborik is really coasting out there.
i still love the dubinksy!
Dreary will score the game winner
Too many men!
Emilio Estevez Crawford making some odd faces.
wow! thought we were close for too many men
Let’s hope Dallas gives up too many goals on that too-many-men penalty.
True Blue, if you’re still around, you know I liked what you said in last thread :)
we would have had cherapanov in this mix!! i can’t stop thinking about our Ranger taken too soon!!
Besides a goal I think AA have an outstanding game tonight. In every aspect.
Only in hockey is too many men a bad thing :)
Amazing how those two teams look similar.
lmao MAMA! In football, too, though!
Lol, mama. Well, it’s a good thing at the moment
hahaha, blogmama!!
ilb, just imagine if Joel Lundqvist was still on the Stars then some of the players would really look similar.
Rangers PP however, is a total shame.
Great effort by Gabby to get back there.
Cower Play.
They had their one good looking PP of the night already.
man,
we are just sooooooooooooo pathetic on the pp
Good Lord
Flower play?
I almost had a heart attack
Ouch, another nail Biter. Where is Marji?
Sour Play?
Dubi does same move in offensive zone
that didn’t work last time
emilo esteve crawford, captain lunestra…lol. some good ones tonight
Got lucky there
I have no idea what Girardi has been trying to do with the puck all night.
Dodged a Girardi bullet on that one!
Aves—Slapshot moment with goalie
is this going to be a night where we’ll all be missing EC?
they made a big deal over it.
we got away with a penalty for the 3rd time all season. our opposition has gotten away with 2 million calls already this season.
bad icing
Just knock him over NHL 95 style.
Thank you, take that point to the bank.
point!!
One point!
let’s go get the 2nd point now!!
Get the second one now
At least we got the point. Need the second!
Dreary in OT!!
Last more than 19 seconds this time please
omg, i still love that game against the Pens.
It would be cool if the Zuekster scored another OT winner.
Got to love this team.
Now go a get that crucial point!
good play by stars into zone.
why don’t we have anything like that?
The only way drury gets a winner in OT is he throws the puck in the net like that video we posted earlier today. Then again he was a LLWS champ.
would have preferred AA to shoot there
Damn! If Boyle scored there, that would have been gorgeous.
Gotta watch out for the crack addicted Alladdin in the shootout!
All right, we’ll need Lunqvist to win us that second point.
WTB was that all about, Torts?
Torts you realize Boyle would crush you like he crushes Natty Lights with DZ in the offseason?
Whoa! What did Boyle do to get Torts so pissed?
wow! Torts is, ahem, peeved, at Boyle
maybe cause he didn’t stretch out on that pass
Ribeiro is a tricky little fellow on the shootout.
shootout: AA, MZA, Dubi?
Zuccs
AA
Stepan
well, Torts came back and gave him an
atta boy whack on the shoulder
Go Byfuglien yourself Robidas. the refs cant call a penalty now!
shootout
AA, Stepan, Gabby..
Oy. why was torts ripping boyle??
Boyle has good moves though, I’d like to see him do it
Or Gilroy
There’s a lot of FIGHT in these guys.
my only guess is that he didn’t stretch out and push hard
to the net for the tip in….i guess
I hope torts doesn’t have any kids!
Daddy dearest!
The only positive to come out of this game being a loss is the post game presser with Torts. The first reporter that asks aboot what he was screaming at Boyle aboot will probably get a chair thrown at him.
Del Head, apparently he has a hot daughter.
damn, CTB, you called it
Good job Hank
well, they’re buddies now :) I HATE THE SO!!!!!
Stepan I think is 0 for the season in SO
Thank you post!
ZUC!!!!!!!!!
MZA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Zucca!
Weeeee
MZA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
zuccarello is sick!
Let me addopt this kid
wow….Zukes nice move!!!
we win!!!

ZUC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
MZA stock just went up.
yeah baby TWO points nice road win
ZUCCARELL-OT HERO!
♥ ♥ MZA ♥ ♥
I LOVE YOU guys!!!!!!!
Two more points dans la banque.
I was going to say before the end of the game when it was tied, didn’t want to jinx it but if they get 2 points out of this weekend I will be thrilled. Dallas and StL are definitely tougher than most Eastern teams.
2F and Z
I think Z’s a keeper!
YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HARTNELL YEAH BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ZUCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCAAAAAAAAAAA is BIG TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ZZZZZZZZZZZZUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCCAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
MOTHER HARTNELLERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WE WANT THE CUP! WE WANT THE CUP! WE WANT THE CUP!!!!!!!!!!!!
we win we win we win!!!!!
7-4 vs the West
Love Tort’s fist pump!
wohoooooo baby!!!!
Claude Van DAM we are good!!!!
Z: Skate short & carry a big stick
hahaha….Tiki nice post!!!
Who needs EC we got MZA!!!!
Frodo is SO cool, face expression like not biggy.
If MZA keeps scoring shootout goals, he might replace our condom, EC.
Thank you NYR! Another excellent game!
Clearly the Stars needed Langenbrunner in that game.
Hungover,
No kidding…
GREGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WE WANT THE CUP! WE WANT THE CUP!
HUGE! What fight and spirit in this young team! ZUCCCA BABY!!!!!!
hahahaha….DJK
Lehtenin in the locker room: “filthy hobbitses”
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC
Nothin’ better than a Torts smile, baby! Pull the shorts off Mr. Torts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOOOHOOOO!!!!! Road warriors!!!!
Headzo and Greg, LMAO…....
youth=monster
two game winners by the zippy newbie!!! he gets sent down, I may have to move and sell my blog rights…..
this team has more fight than any team we have had in years. Past teams would have crumbled.
ORR’
we are all remember your “not sure, not belong” sh*t long before. Admit, you were wrong, for team sake.
headzo, should be skate big and carry a short stick :)
Amen Blogmama…agree 100%.
YOUTH = MONSTER
Did Gia-gavone just call MZA a hobbit?
Zuccarell-O That O is for OT and shOOt Out
Mama – that would be Boyle. He’s irish afterall!
It depends, mama
MZA gave us last 4 points. Welcome to NY, Zuuuuc!
And the season high 9 games above .500.
Great win but what happened to Gaborik and Aves tonight, pretty invisible?? And Drury, useless pretty much.
btw, i thought Eminger played a heck of a game tonight
headzo, double lmao, but I pray that’s not true :)
Man, I just want to adopt MZA and cuddle him like a kitty. I think I have to go lean Norwegian…
wonderful ZUCCO
2 more points. It’s all aboot the points !
I wanna marry MZA!! He’s cute mother hartneller!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ilb, what depends?
whoops, i meant learn Norwegian…but I can lean too :)
Man, it was really the feet (cue Rex Ryan joke) on Zuccs’ move that sold the deke.
Atlanta lost. Big time. 6th place, here we come!
Mama – naughty naughty!
Long story, mama. On short skates :-)
There is a lot of speculation around Richards now asking after his old buddy Torts from the Tampa times ????
My question is just simply, why would Dallas trade him, when they are in that state of winning right now and I dont think that the Rangers would be able to fit him under the cap ????
And Richards doesnt looke like that he is disgruntled in Dallas !!!
They have to play the King tomorrow – he’s got a two game point streak on the line!
4ever, huh?
Dallas is not going to trade Richards, not after they got Langs to help with their depth. Honestly I thought their bottom 2 lines tonight weren’t anything special even though they produced the 1st goal.
>>Great win but what happened to Gaborik and Aves tonight, pretty invisible??
It sounds like you had missed a lot of Rangers games this season.
http://www.sportsclubstats.com/NHL/Eastern/Atlantic/Rangers.html
We had a good night tonight.
Tomorrow is big though.
I mean Richards is definitely a top guy in the league, but the Rangers would have to someone from high caliber like Dubi, Animisov or Frolov to get him under the cap ???
I never like this cap system at all but you cant change it….
Gosh, I really do not like this Bill Pidto guy. He’s so, so, um, so un-hockey-like.
CT, truth to be told I have only seen the last two minutes, the OT and the shootout because I am from overseas and I woke up shortly before 5:)
This team just never gives up. It’s stunning.
well jbytes both Gabby and Aves seemed to come alive last game so i got my hopes up, gabby was flying and getting chances last game
Richards would command something similar to the package that Kovalchuk or Hossa got traded for. That means one or two solid NHL players (Dubi, Cally, Stepan, AA), one near NHL or high ceiling prospect (Del Zotto, McDonagh) and a first round pick. Hossa and Kovalchuk were also impending unrestricted FAs so that much of a return for Richards is definitely possible.
Did anyone notice Drury falling hard after the hit in the second period and then, all of a sudden, coming up with a couple of good shifts before disappearing again? I think it could be a good idea for Torts to kick him in the face several times during each game, that may turn the season around for him.
who would have thought that our first line would ever have been Dubi, Stepan, MZA at the beginning of the season, WOW!!!
i will be really really surprised if Richards is traded
because the stars have a good thing going with him,
with their spot in the standings, with langenbruner brought in
for depth and a solid hard worker with a little clutchness left
1. MZA is here to stay. If he goes back to Hartford, I stop watching hockey.
2. Brad Richards ain’t got carcillo on Brandon Dubinsky.
3. Robidas is Dallas’ best player…
4. Eminger = Awkwardly physical; doesn’t give up much; doesn’t instill fear; takes dumb penalties at bad times, leading to power play goals.
5. Will the real Marian Gaborik please stand up?
6. Steve Ott owned Dale “The Pale” Weise
7. Brenden Morrow is an example of the type of player Drury USED TO BE. Drury looks like he is going to retire soon. He was losing key faceoffs.
8. Where is Linda?
9. Wicky, Valabik would have not been able to keep up with the pace of this game.
10. Blowzy wasn’t missed.
11. Tiki, don’t start the parade yet.
12. If Artie puts on say 25-30 pounds, we will have ourselves a premier 2-way NHL center
exactly, jpg. The Langs trade was one of their moves to gear up for a playoff run.
Nc, I like that, but then I realize that it means Gabby is playing crappy, so then I’m insane with anger!
NYR, do you think he did? I thought it was a draw, and they both landed one big shot each.
I’ll have to check it out again.
I couldn’t see how John J torture poor AA with a questions, even US born player will have a difficulty to answer.
one can only hope that Drury retires soon because he doesn’t look like he
has much in the tank—a few faceoff wins, a blocked shot if he doesn’t injure himself.
not much else to contribute right now.
I wont be able to imagine that the Rangers would move Cally, Stepan or Dubi in order to accomodate Richards…
So its just speculation or in this case blabla….But with Glen Sather in the mix, you never know…
He is always known for throwing around big money
Yeah, I feel bad for Artie. You know he just wants to go home and watch Stargate.
It’s speculation chapico. There’s too many bloggers and “journalists” that see a bunch of un-connected dots like: Dallas wasn’t good last year + Richards is an upcoming FA + Richards used to play for Torts = trade rumors.
Orr, I thought Ott caught Dale hard, at least 2 twice, in the face/nose…Let me know if you find a link…
I am sory to say that but once in a while you cant take the NHL for serious…Toronto scores six goals in Atlanta in the second period and look at the standings or Tampa Bay shoutout the Caps and next game they were romped by the Pens with eight goals…
Once in a while you get the opinion that the regular season is not as important as it should be…or they need to have a couple of fewer teams to have a real competition going on…
Don’t blame it on the sport, blame it on the morons that run the league. Things would look much different if they adopted the soccer style system and made regulation wins 3 points, OT/SO wins 2 points, OT/SO losses 1 point, regulation losses 0 points. The NYTimes hockey blog used to run an adjusted standings using that point system.
fewer teams = good idea
Weird, my name got messed up when I refreshed…
Yeah its right… I know the NHL got used to have 3 games in four nights but its not good for the level of play when you as an athlete have to perform best….
But what can you do when money and number of games makes the world go around :)
But its an old story I know !!!!
newsflash the rangers won….
also the rangers are playing without cally and others.
btw clowns maybe we should trade staal after all he is 23 and not bobby orr yet.. remember those type of comments from the shrewd talent evaluators on the site in the past.
the rangers shoot out guys are; 20 years old, 23, and 22 years old. tonight the oldest d man was emminger who just turned 27… sauer is 23 friggin years old… this team is building a HUGE FOUNDATION…
especially when six or eight teams in the NHL playing constantly in front half empty arenas !!!!
Huge foundation even without Kotalik’s forearms? That’s right they got traded for Prust.
Orr, just saw it again. Weise did get a pretty good shot in but I think Ott owns that one. You could see Weise looking at the ref to stop the fight…
carcillo, my name again!
dang woodchucks!
Good night everyone. Love you all. I’m one happy “sleeper” tonight. Till tommorow for new battle. Ta, Mama…

new post.
It’s not crazy to think Dallas brought back a fan favorite in Langenbrunner because they’re about to dump a fan favorite in Richards.
It also gives them a little bit of cover so they can say they didn’t give up on the season,
in trading their No. 1 center when they’re in first place.
Real question for NYR is, is there a fit?
Hard to think about trading Anisimov when he plays like he did tonight, if Dallas even wanted him. I kept hearing they want Stepan, which ain’t never happening.
