Byfuglien. No, really, Dustin Byfuglien, live and in person!
Big game for the Rangers tonight. Brodie Dupont is the eighth rookie to make his debut with the Rangers this season—while Dale Weise is prucha’d.
Chad (Caloric) Kolarik will start on a line with Brian Boyle and Brandon Prust. Avery-Anismov-Gaborik stay togeher. Drury goes back to fourth-line duty with Newbury and Dupont. The other line is Wolski-Stepan-Zuccarello.
Henrik Lundqvist starts his third game in a row.

Re: The Contest: Oy, vey. You try to do something fun …
Matt, your hour-glass is almost empty. When the puck hits the ice in Atlanta you are out, my friend, unless you beat the clock and e-mail me at rcarpini@Lohud.com. This is your final call.

Rangers win 6-2
There you go, Izzy! BBT! (‘Bout Byfuglien Time!)
Where’s Izzy?
Should be Biron tonight.
You think you’re better than Izzy?
Oy vey! We get to hear about the “Figure Skater” even when Rangers are not playing against Carolina.
Now Prospal sounds encouraged about coming back –
and he looks pretty good from practice video.
It’s been hard to keep up, one day retiring, the next returning.
For anyone who uses the Slingbox and is thinking about upgrading to a new one, like Pro HD- absolutely do it. Even if your Internet doesn’t have enough speed to allow an HD, the picture is still much better than the old one.
A good team will consistently beat the teams directly above and below them in the standings.
[Note to CTBlueshirt]
I promise to not pick on our Slovakian sniper’s scoring woes tonight.
Zuccarella, as in Barbarella?
I think McD is for real. Solid stay home for us for years to come
Lets Go Boys!
Torts is in the good mood, eh?
Nice to see the Devils putting together a nice little 5-0-1 streak of their own. Bwahahaha!!!
Let’s do this, boys!
mmmmm! barbarella!! before jane went Hanoi and became a traitor! NOM NOM NOM
LETS GO NY TIKIs and the NY ILBs!!! Beat the Thrash!!!
Wow, now Sam pronounced it Ko-Lar-ic. Joe’s sticking to Caloric, though.
Who’s playing against Buf?
JBytes, if he stinks for tonight he deserves it, but if he’s not the only one (like the Canes game) then they deserve it too.
Brodie Dupont: that’s a name that belongs in the NHL
Fair enough, CTB.
The Mrs didn’t change her mind [yet], ilb2001?
Why don’t these guys ask Kolarik how his name is pronounced?
JBytes- obviously :-). Better start already.
I wonder if Dupont’s thinking, “Oh man, finally get up from Hartford and now I have to play with Drury.”
Avery, marring other goalie’s logos since 2007.
CT, at least he didn’t shoot wide and send Atlanta on an odd-man rush.
That stinks.
Byfuglien.
Damn it…
Game over
Season over
Rangers, giving up the first goal in games since December 2010.
Chasing the puck like they are gets you nowhere.
Think they would know this by now.
you can always count on an ex-Ranger underachiever to come thru against the Rangers
where can I watch online…
Good shift after. Keep pushing, guys
http://streamo.atspace.com/, Shane
Better save than I thought
What a bad turnover by Staal.
Good evening, Carp! Lets go Rangers!
Grabbywaffles, thanks for the compliments a few posts back. You rule!
A fishstix fan behind the Rangers bench.
Be interesting to see the Possession time, The Rangers don’t seem to be able to sustain any pressure, or even be in the offensive zone.
Is that an Islanders fan behind the Rangers bench, lol?
Where is everyone?!
Sallyski – Are you gonna watch the game tonight?
This won’t end well for us.
Thanks Yalzin
Has Wolski ever thrown a body check?
Islander dude looks like he needs a bath. Funny Nabokov doesnt want to go to the Island, he’d rather play for Detroit…no brainer
I think Antro scored the only goal for us in Game 7 vs. the Caps a couple years ago.
Tiki, I can’t tonight. I’m heading out soon. But I will be here with y’all in spirit!
That’s a great looking feed, Yalzin.
It’s almost gotten to the point where I have to look at the Rangers roster to see who’s on the ice, with all the new faces and numbers. A few more injuries and it’ll be like preseason all over.
I was watching a much lower quality one, very glad this one was on that list.
I hate living out of market.
>>Islander dude looks like he needs a bath.
Just a bath is probably not enough to cleanse most of those fans.
Whoa, Michiletti just circled Staal’s junk with the telestrator.
Why does it seem like EVERY team in the league save, oh, I don’t know, the Devils, Islanders, Leafs, and Oilers has way more talent than we do?
I’m not liking what I see thus far.
Damn. Is it just me, or was anyone else insanely bored watching that period?
hey guys…did you know that Andrew Ladd played on Chicago Stanley cup winning team?
oh and Jeff Skinner used to be a figure skater… did you know that?
They did a good job not getting scored on more than once in that period. That’s all I got.
i was, ORR
for some reason i feel that way every time we play Atlanta
It’s a game of chase the puck. They haven’t really had time to set up in the Atlanta Zone, and they couldn’t do their behind-the-net cycle they like to do.
Lot of board play, too.
2 uninspiring teams in a dead building…who’s got a razor?
Ladd…Skinner, 3CP? NO…WAY!
And that Skinner plays with Eric Staal who’s the captain of one of the NHL all star teams. But won’t be able to pick his brother Jordan because he wasn’t selected.
does Sully do that to his hair on purpose?
Are you all trying to say that they are starting to look like an AHL team?
Sully is a Jersey Shore fan, what do you expect?
You can’t win the possession battle with unskilled third/fourth line grinders.
I read every day. first post. I’ve seen every game this year and it looks like missing so many players is finally chatching up with us. I hope we can just tread water until players start getting back. this is my favorite Ranger team in years. Finally playing the kids! Oh yeah I love Gaborik, but if he don’t step it up in the next couple weeks, it’s probably not going to happen
Dustin Byfuglien is going to win the Norris Trophy this season. ATL got him for draft picks.
What’s our excuse for not trading for him again?
Added some videos of me playing pond hockey this afternoon, in CT, wearing a Blueshirt (actually white Gaborik) to the Boneheads facebook page.
Yes, Larry, it is catching up. You can’t continue to play at high level when more than half of your top 6 are out. They need to stay afloat for the next three games. And nobody should expect any pretty games.
JBytes
i couldn’t believe that either! if it wasn’t for the MSG crew i would never know that…which wouldn’t change my life in any way, anyway
What took you so long for your first post, Larry?
Hi Larry!
He was waiting for Drury’s first goal but then realized he would never post at that rate.
Prospal celebrates his practice drill goals with the same enthusiasm as in real matches. I’m pulling for the guy, but I don’t think he can help us much this season.
Nope. But the rangers are fairly good defensively. With this team if we can get a one goal game into the third I feel good about it. I was never the biggest Dubinski guy but this year he has been amazing. I really that that one hurt us most. We just can lose ground in the next couple weeks. This team has heart soemtimes thats not enough
btw, who selected alternative captains for the ASG? was it Lidstrom and Staal? or the NHL? Mike Green got an “A” for Staal’s team? wtf is up with that? Why not Marc Staal?
Can’t – opps
Lidstrom will win the Norris. Byfuglyman will be a close second.
DJK, Byfuglien, Ladd, and Eager going to Atlanta probably had something to do with Rick Dudley’s relationship with Chicago.
LOL CTB!
Welcome, Larry!
Sam Rosen regarding Prust, “He’s one guy who will never give in to injury.” HUH? I love Prust, but come on!
Tiki – Why thank you! I read this everday you can be very funny read. It’s appreciated
When Prust takes his skates off after today’s game, his foot will look bigger than his heart. Which is hard to imagine.
They need to stop always deferring to Gaborik when he’s out there. If he’s open then fine, but don’t force it.
would you guys trade AA for Byfuglien?
Wolski!
Weeeeeeee
WooHoo. WoWo!
What a pass, baby! WW!
I wouldn’t, CC.
CCCP, yes I would and normally I’m not willing to give up AA for many people but Byfuglien has the size element to his game that most players can’t match.
WoWo WeWa!!!
1-1!!!
MZA should have scored it, but Wolksi is fine too. 1-1.
Are you suggesting that the Rangers have Jagr-syndrome with Gaborik, CT?
Drury shoots wide, that was kind Sam. That shot might have killed some of those birds that Orr keeps mentioning.
CCcp, not me. I’ve seen alot of decent players come to NY and stink out the place. I think if he came here he’d be in a different role and the booing would start. AA is to young to give up for instant gratification
Big Buff would be an instant hit in NY! Bigger than Drury! :)
Also:
If Sam quoting Stepan was right, then Stepan hits the nail on the head. Play physical, and it creates chances. They don’t score when they don’t play physical.
Prust needs to take a trip to the locker room and sit the rest out if he is hurt. Don’t make it worse, we can’t afford to have him out for an extended amount of time!
Prust needs to leave the skates on for the remainder of the week :-/
Give it to ‘em Torts!
Drury was pretty good once upon a time
MZA is learning the defensive part very well…
Byfuglien is young too…he’s only 25
imagine him on PP shooting bombs from the point? Or imagine him clearing the crease? No way he would be boo’d in NY
Drury was pretty good once upon a time
———
once upon a time…that’s how fairy tales start, Larry…most of them are not true :)
Oh my! How did that one stay out?
Kolarik and Prust need to figure out who’s covering which side on the backcheck.
Defensive breakdown. Almost went in..
In Girardi We Trust!
Girardi’s thrown a few decent ones. Definitely looks better than Weise.
And that’s why we have a team this year…
In theory your right. But I go back a long ways with the rangers and it’s something about the Rangers. I can’t explain it but I think we’d regret it
I come into the game to see Girardi fighting and Staal hurting on the bench. WTB is going on?
i hope staal is ok…can’t have him out
Even if that’s not hitting from behind that’s boarding.
Hmm, both #1 and #2 defencemen hurting now.
Broken nose for G!
I hope Prust doesnt plan on fighting tonight
well Larry…we ain’t getting the Buff…but we can dream, right?
With drury I never want him I wanted Brier(sp?); but I never thought drury would get this old this quick
>>Drury was pretty good once upon a time
You forgot “in a far away galaxy”.
sick save by Hank
MZA needs to practice hitting the net with his shot.
that’s not boarding at all. Staal was turning so his momentum carried him into the boards head first. good no call.
Cormier.. isn’t that the sick carcillo who was suspended for half a season a few years ago?
Drury was pretty good once upon a time
———
once upon a time…that’s how fairy tales start, Larry…most of them are not true :)
——————
Once upon a time…That’s also how most Rangers free agent signings are justified by Sather…
I have no idea how Prust is still skating. Do you remember that big of a heart in the Rangers uniform since Adam?
Blue Seat Horror – My Point. Can’t we just let it ride ans see what we have for once?
I hate to beat a dead horse…
No one could ever question Prust’s heart. He is doing the best he can, despite obviously in a lot of pain. But there comes a point where it is only going to make things worse. Every stride he takes he limps. Painful to watch, and could be worse for us in the long term if it is indeed an injury.
i feel bad for Girardi…
WW should shoot more
MickeyM
yes that the guy who almost killed the kid …he got traded in the package from NJ for Kovalchuk
@AGrossRecord Savard to hold press conference Monday morning to decry Avalanche. 2 minutes ago via HootSuite
;) I’ve pulled an Orr!
Ahh, there is Staalsie. I didn’t think he’d been on the ice since that hit he took.
Have we had a PP?
I don’t blame Nabokov for not reporting to the Islanders.
Evander Kane has been quiet tonight.
Snow is an idiot.
Just saying.
I have no idea how Prust is still skating. Do you remember that big of a heart in the Rangers uniform since Adam?
——————
Todd Harvey?
I feel bad for G too. Defend your teammate, and get injured! Bwaha!
I wonder if he thinks he should have “watched”! LOL!
IMO, smart move by the Isles to pick up Evgeni. Can turn around and possibly trade him for a draft pick or something of value.
Have we had a PP?
Not since Leetch was the QB.
Thanks, 3C. I thought it was that piece of carcillo. Cannot believe he’s been allowed to play.
A lot of current Islanders players don’t want to report to Uniondale. Why should Nabokov?
Todd Harvey had heart. He was also crazy…
Snow is an idiot. That’s a pretty messed up move.
I don’t get it. The Isles suck, and wont make the playoffs, so why claim him off of waivers?
>>Snow is an idiot.
I thought it was Sather who’s the idiot?
LMAO, CTB. You’re right though.
we have to win this game in regulation!
They’re both idiots. How bout that..
At least the Isles were smart putting their AHL team in Bridgeport because even Uniondale is a step up from Bridgeport.
Sather’s a moron. Not an idiot.
MZA plays a lot bigger than his 4’6 frame.
Nice shot by Dreary!!!
Ryan Hollweg had no heart! He was just crazy!
Can someone remind me of a website to see the game (other than adte.net, which would not pull down the game)? Thanks.
Maybe they should fire Sather.
Remember when we could have traded Prucha for Seabrook.. that would have been cool
Laaaaame!
Blech. Booo.
Unbelievable
Let’s just worry about winning the game, and less about winning the game in regulation…
Really Lundqvist?
McDonut’s last game.
I hope Del Zingo is ready.
He’s big and strong! strong and big! big…strong…
2-1
assists on the goal
Little Ladd :)
He explodes and releases…releases and explodes! EXPLODES! EXPLODES!
The Rangers haven’t had a PP at 20% or better since Gretzky’s last season.
This game sucks.
Such a borefest. The last few games have been that way.
Scary times for NYR. They just look defeated. They’re banged up.
We need the All Star Break!!!!
Who keeps sticking pins in the Ranger doll?
Alright NO MORE SHOT BLOCKING! Let Hank do what he’s paid for.
Rangers are getting so many injuries from blocking shots that when they skate off they look like the lame, the halt, and the gimpy. All they need now is a fife and drum to complete the picture.
Olga – A Local Fan?
Mike Sullivan?
Wolf in sheep’s clothing?
wasnt going to say it til there was a ‘fire sather’ spotting…. FIRE the Olga and the whole gosh darn FOLKyourself family of fiends! THAT is all!
Rangers need to stay away from that Stewart family. Ranger killers.
Period over. Game over. Season over.
This team is garbage as long as Chris Drury is on it.
Is it okay to hope for a non-serious Drury injury, one that keeps him out for a couple months?
Wow, and just a few games ago we were soooooo happy…
MAO! ILY! Come on, man, how about leaving Olga and the ByfuglienYerSelf family alone? We’re all family here :)
I blame Sather….
I’m still happy Olga…in a mad kind of way.
Good line by Dougay: A hockey game broke out of this tennis match.
If Prust goes down, the next call up will be Ken Gernander, I’m afraid.
Let mao rant Tiki, it’s his only reason for existing…
“Prust needs to leave the skates on for the remainder of the week ”
Two weeks, maybe more.
Boyle is right behind him. Staal’s banged up now too. Girardi’s nose is busted.
Eminger’s arm is still smarting from Orr’s slash, though to his credit he’s still bangin’ bodies.
Rangers will be lucky to get to the break in something resembling one piece.
On the plus side, this Newbury character could stick….
Fact is that the “grinding style” has left us with a boatload of injuries that we don’t have the depth to counter and we have no offensive talent and Gaborik shows up only when it’s irrelevant.
We will be out of a playoff spot in 1 week and not get back in if something doesn’t happen.
Avery leading in ice time.
If that doesn’t tell how banged up this team is, nothing does.
I wonder if Mike Komisarek will get suspended by the NHL, and get forced to take anger management for punching a woman…if the allegations are true?
Far worse than sloppy seconds…
tiki, i love everyone…but when one person a. repeats the same thing incessantly or b. uses multiple sign-ins on a hockey blog …that is considered spam…all spam should be blocked…unless its in a can..then it shall be served with olives. that is all! ILYILIY!
We are still in this game, We we need the all star break bad. are top payers are getting to many minutes. and Tiki its an awful thing to say but I mind seeing Drury go down. Where’s Gaborik?
If they don’t block shots, Hank will let in more softies. They have no choice.
Did not like the look on Torts the camera just showed.
Looked defeated, and at a loss of what to do.
Look at the focus in Dreary’s nose.
Now Prust is hurt. Greeeeaaaat.
No Prust for the rest of the game.. and who knows how much longer
MAO! He just has a sense of humor. Honestly, as a Ranger fan (and for me, as a total New York fan), a sense of humor is necessary. :)
Sorry, Larry, I take it back.
paging Gaborik…paging Gaborik
Marian…there’s a hockey game you forgot to attend…
Orr, are you saying Lundqvist’s success is a byproduct of the Rangers’ system?
Gee mao, Why didn’t you say so? If it really bothers you. I’ll stop…
I won’t…
I’m chomping on Cool Ranch Doritos, so I expect Boyle to do something.
score!!!! gaborik!!!! wooooo
Wonder what’s up with Danny.
Finally a PP
a PP??? wow
Gaborik already showed up for his one game against a bottom-echelon team (Leafs).
PP, finally…Not that it matters
Fire the Olga…then ignore him! WHOOOT! THere it is!
That could be true, Blue :P
Chicago won today. Rangers will too.
hopefully Danny G doesnt have the concussion
Rangers PP, cure for the ills of the other team’s PK
Wonderful, Girardi done for the game.
That’s why you always hope for Power Plays! 5 on 3! Hip Hip!
Now Girardi’s out????? This is disgusting….
This is big. Adrien Brody’s nose BIG!
oh, sorry tiki, i was just practicing my goal cheer for one of next months games where gabby gets a goal
Five forwards? I didn’t think there were that many left….
THEY SLASHED GABORIK’S STICK AWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That’s a penalty!!!
Gabby back to normal.
If we don’t score on this…....
Gaborik is so unsure of himself…
Whole lotta looking, not a lot of shooting from Gabby.
I really don’t like Gaborik on the point
Gotta be kidding me.
We’re getting denied by a guy who fainted in his first game of the season. Unreal!
we are so bad on faceoffs :(
This is sickening. We got cost extra 5 on 3 time with that “missed” slashing call.
This powerplay is abysmal
We’ve had 239 injuries on the year after proving to be a good, legitimate team. This may prove to be too much for us to overcome, depending on when which players come back. I hate to say it, but our playoff chances may be Byfugliened.
What an absolute joke. Trade Gaborik.
hey!!! my BIG AND STRONG post didnt go through! sup with that?
As CT pointed out earlier, it’s Jagr syndrome. Give the puck to Gabby.
Gabby doesn’t know what to do with it, so nothing happens with it.
Put the puck on net, get the dirty goals. They weren’t even making Atlanta move that much, so there was no chance of being tired out.
cant buy one..Can they just park somebody in front and just shoot the puck
What’s a bysmal?
God what a waste of a 2 on 1.
maybe they should put Leaf jerseys around the Ranger bench so Gaborik thinks he is playing one of his patsies. It is pathetic that he has only 5 goals in 32 games vs real teams.
Jeez, Drury blows chunks…
that Atlanta announcer sounds like an announcer at the air port
Peptobismol?
Boyle slowed the entire 2 on 1 down, and Christoffer Drury just did what he does best, nothing.
It’s not that he doesn’t know what to do with it, but rather it’s so simple to defend when you know the puck is being moved to the same person over and over again. So the Thrashers rightly parked themselves in the middle of the ice and really never had to move to cover anyone else.
Nice hit McD
the Ranger 3rd jerseys will be hospital gowns.
I’m getting tired of Gaborik and his lily white gilded groins. Yes he’s a gifted scorer, but he’s like goddamn Tinkerbell on skates
I don’t know, he had tons of space quite a few times, and instead, just looked for the pass (with the one exception, which, SURPRISE), turned out to be a halfway decent scoring chance.
Wow, Sam, McDonagh gets physical. Whoopidee Doo! Physical doesnt mean anything when you cant put a puck in the net, and you cant put a puck in the net on a 5 on 3.
They should take Gaborik off the PP just to see the team decide to actually move the puck around for a change.
Wow, massacred that parenthesis thingy. I am ashamed.
Oh man.
The wrinkle they should have employed was moving their guys around the ice. Every player stayed in the same spot for the entire 5 on 3. Especially if they’re keyed on Gaborik, having him roam around the ice to see if they’ll chase.
Step-On almost died!
Lots of time left… but show me SOMETHING.
Nigel Dawes is playing in this game??? LOOL
this is the first time i hear his name all evening
Boyle!!!
WHAT a goal! 2-2!
Boyle showed me something!
WHAT DID I TELL YOU!
I eat Cool Ranch Doritos, and Boyle scores, as predicted!
FUGGGG YEAH!!!!! BOYLER BOY!!!
Boyle = Monster
FLAVAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!
Power forward?
All boyled up!!!!
BOYLEEEE!!! now get rid of the Olga and all will be well with the world!! ILY !!!
Boyle out-monstered Byfuglien.
Boile is really a Monster!
Boyle burned Byfuglien bigtime
LOL! Dawes is playing?? What? Where?
I think he leveled a Thrashers defenceman few seconds before that too.
Orr I’m going to Costco tomorrow and getting economy sized bags to send to you.
Gaborik could learn a thing or two about how to skate..from Boyle
Good to know Stepan recognizes what zip code he’s in.
Perfect! I just finished the bag seconds before he scored.
ORR
your prediction rate accuracy is starting to get scary!! Do you do palm reading? lol
This is where we need our big-time players to step up. Umm, who are our big-time players again?
I do foot reading, Rex Ryan style!
Has Staal been on the ice the entire third period? Sure seems that way.
Bonehead fundraiser for Cool Ranch Doritos for ORR!
Boyle is probably the most underpaid player in the league… 17 goals for $550k
http://defendingthecore.blogspot.com/2011/01/you-cant-make-it-up.html
2 goals for Grachev for the Whale tonight so far.
>>Gaborik could learn a thing or two about how to skate..from Boyle
As I said, I will not comment on a certain Slovak until he scores a meaningful goal.
MZA will score the winner.
Kolarik on the ice late in a tied game and Drury isn’t.
Blast, quit posting your sh*t here.
One point.
I’ll take it.
Could it be that Grachev is finally figuring it out?
at least a point…
That we got a point in this game is amazing.
Scrambled for a point. Better than 0.
Orr, you think different players respond to different flavors?
ORR
be nice… the guy has good articles
We might need Grachev, depending on how severe Prust’s injury is.
i wonder what Drury’s flavor
Brian Boyle= what Chris Drury USED to be
I didn’t think we’d get any points from this game.
Boyle = Complete Monster
That’s right, Alzin.
CC, I don’t read them. I don’t like the fact that he only posts here to post that sh*t. It’s a slap to Carp’s 26 year old cheek.
Real nice play there by Staal.
Boyle = Hard working blue collar guy that actually cares to get better and help his team
cough, cough…Drury, Gaborik…
Drury used to be 6’7”?
Where’s the interference?
Orr – Is it a slap to Carp’s 26 year old face cheek, or butt cheek? :)
blast is welcome here, also!
The interference is hanging out with Wolski’s trip, Orr. They’re letting them play. (Gasp)
Which ever he prefers, Tik.
There was absolutely no excuse for us not trading for Byfuglien.
lets see what WoWo got
Time for a ZuccaWolski shootout win.
MZA – 3-3 in the shootout?
We finally might take advantage of a Flyers loss. It’s a miracle. Pens need to hold off the Canes in regulation.
Was Drury out at all in overtime? If it weren’t for injuries, I bet he would be prucha’d.
I like our chances in the shootout: Stepan, MZA, Wolski [not necessarily in that order].
I meant in terms of “clutchness”. Forgot to add that in, lol.
Boyle is our best forward by far.
Oh yeah, I forgot aboot Wolski.
Too bad we don’t have Erik Condom. This could have been an easy shootout.
Zuke and WW for sure.
Stepan probably the 3rd
Oh, how could I forget Lundqvist?
AA, not bad, Stepan is 0 for the season as is anyone not named EC or MZA
and AA…
I like this shootout lineup
I’d like to see Boyle go and try the Malik move
Those Ice Girls are showing a lot of skin.
Good thing Isiah Thomas isn’t around.
Lundqvist gave him very little to shoot at.
Bust! Trade him!
Everyone not named EC or MZA still 0 for the season.
0 for 1
Game over
We win
Hobbit!!!
Orrrrrrgh!!! What move?!!
I told you MZA would win this game!
sweeeeeet!!!! what hands!!!
Zuccarello is awesome in SO.
Nice job King!
Just call me Captain Awesome from now on.
YES!
Gutsy, ballsy win.
Zuccarello!!!!
Game, set, aaaand match!
extra point is huge!
MZA!!!!!!!!!
The kid has hands!
Well, that’s two points no matter how you look at it.
That’s Boucher’s pic
What a move by Zuke. Dang
that’s one thing the rangers are good at, the shootout. Zookie does it again. great comeback win.
Zucc=HOBBIT!
extra point is huge!
***
Flavah is huge, extra point is decent sized
what is it…3rd game MZA wins for us? Love the kid!
Didn’t we get the Izzy bump tonight?
Would it it be a stretch if I said MZA is our most creative forward?
Bwahha, Newberry fell coming off the bench
1st Post
“I’m chomping on Cool Ranch Doritos, so I expect Boyle to do something”
2nd Post
“MZA will score the winner”
BOOM
Miller Lite tastes great moment of the game should have been Flavah’s goal.
I love Torts’ fist pumps after shootout wins.
Yup, the OT goal vs the Canes, 2 SO winners vs DAL and tonight.
Darn it, Montréal just took it to overtime. They’ll probably win the two points.
CCCP, do you think MZA could have owned that dog like I did in my video?
http://www.sportsclubstats.com/NHL/Eastern/Atlantic/Rangers.html
Not a bad night.
Thank you Captain Awesome for taking one for the team and polishing off those Cool Ranch Doritos.
It was worth it. They go good with caramel vanilla tea.
Just think how good it would be if they fired Sather too…
CT
no way!! YOU own that dog! YOU and nobody else! :P
At least Du-Glee looks somewhat normal tonight.
Boy, what a gutsy win. How many points did MZA get us! Along with Hank?
Ovechkin had a hat trick against the Leaves tonight. They are so good for slumping snipers.
Yeah I think that dog is still running around in a circle, or he’s just chasing his tail.
great 3rd period as always
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZrXIB6Jxp-Q
kolarik knocked over newbury in celebration
Grachev with a hattie tonight as well.
Haha, MZA should have said “everyone worked their Aasen off”.
“Work their ass off…sorry for the language”
Bwahahaha!
Watch Newbury have a sprained ankle after that.
Rangers luck.
Saw that and laughed though.
MZA – “Guys work their ass off”
is this kid money or what?
Jbytes- I think Stepan is but MZA is close.
lol @CTB that would have been classic!
CT
the dog is still running in circles! you killed it!
Love Torts emotions after the win. Torts gets it.
Just when we think this team is down and out, they come up with a win like this. That is why, despite all the injuries, I think they will be fine.
One point is all Les Canadiens will get tonight.
Henrik and Hiller are both tough in the shootout.
Those of you who can see HNL… can you give us an update on the injuries, if they announce them. Pretty please.
MZA turned out to be some signing, eh…
And don’t underestimate what that gutsy win will do for this team. The win and Girardi’s fight.
HAHA! I didn’t see that, deja.
The best was in 05-06 when Straka fell off the bench following a shootout win. Ortmeyer made sure to stop ad laugh at him. LOL!

HNL is on right now Mickey
I cringe when these bald fools talk aboot MZA.
Now would be an excellent time to flip Carolina’s 2nd for some immediate help.
Roszival a -1 with no shots tonight so far. Wolski 1 goal with 4 shots. Rangers are still winning that trade…big time.
Oh man, thanks Yalzin!
I think if they get 1 point out of the next two and stay 8 games above .500 before the ASG, they’ll be fine. Some important bodies will be back, no need to panic!

the Ranger 3rd jerseys will be hospital gowns.
post of the month right here!
Damn! DiPietro looks beat the fugg up. The guy aged pretty badly over the last three-four years.
The HNL guys need to have iPads in front of them instead of those pieces of paper. I’m sure MSG can afford the gadgets.
oh, sallywaffles, no problem i love complimenting you! youre the best. when are you gonna do another beautiful work of art like u did with the avery- brodiva poster awhile back? that was hysterical!
i wonder if its in ron dugays contract that everyone on Hockey Night Live with him must be bald so he can always have the best hair.
Well that’s good, the injuries don’t sound all that bad (right now).
Sounds like good news on Prust and Girardi. Both are day to day.
Prust bruised foot day to day x-rays negative.
Girardi ribcage strain day to day.
Negative xrays for Prust, no concussion for Danny.
(exhales)
Some good injury news for once.
Not a bad night in general. Carolina lost in regulation, Montreal only got one point.
Michael Rozsival out with LBI.
I thought Girardi would end up with a broken nose.
The Mayhem commercials are really quite funny.
Good great evening all!!!! Just missed the end of the byfuglien/Byfuglien game, so no comments, but yahooo! I’ll take it! When I heard there’d be a SO on way home I predicted MZA would be in and get it, and he did!
anyway, two points!! I’ll catch up with details tomorrow. LGR!!!!
P.S. Re: The Contest: Oy, vey. You try to do something fun …
Carp, just give the next pair to Sally :)
I was workin’ on Original Doritos (which were Taco flavored, not Nacho Cheese, in a Throwback orange bag – The Best!) when Zuke did his thing.
Will have to stock up on’em…..
Girardi did something to his chest…

Blowzy injured again?
For once, I was glad the Pens won. LOL
I was really hoping Drury would start looking like an NHL player again, he earned some respect for his past accomplishments. But, boy, it’s just looks very sad….Does anyone still have any doubts he will be bought out?
>>The Mayhem commercials are really quite funny.
They are VERY funny!
phew…on the injuries….
Rod, back in the day (4 years ago when I was 26), my college newspaper diet was mainly original Doritos and Dr. Pepper. Meal of champions I tell you…..
I DECLARE THIS THE SUMMER OF BOYLE!!!!!!
ilb – Drury will not be bought out. IMO. He will either be traded in the offseason, with his consent, or he will be a Ranger next year.
i was smoking a ciggarette when the zucc scored. im gonna have to keep smoking!
tiki- drury will be in a nursing home by then at the rate hes decomposing
Drury is finished. I feel bad for the guy, but he’s burnt out to a crisp. His production was declining as it was and he has had a string of devastating injuries the past 2 seasons. I still think Glencross’s headshot did him in.
Trautwig never heard of a pulmonory embolism. Has he ever heard of Jed Ortmeyer?
Really Mama? I have to tell you, I’ve been befuddled for years as to why they’d discontinue the product they built their brand on. (btw, Im also still hunting for Buitoni pizzas!!!)
Nacho flavored became so big, then Cool Ranch (which I love), then they went crazy with 1,000 flavors, NONE of them original. They even tried several other taco flavored ones, none of which were the same (the closest was something called Doritos @ Midnight).
Anyway, you’ll be happy to know they’re re-issuing them with a new bag.
Couldn’t believe it when I saw that 1970’s style orange bag. Crunch!
Grachev and MDZ recalled, per Zipay on twitter.
Wiese down. Official from the team.
Must mean that they don’t expect Girardi to play Monday and Tuesday.
Or Prust, for that matter.
MDZ RETURNS!!!!!
Rod Lurks, the toaster Buitoni pizzas? They were awesome. I miss the canned chef boyardee cheese ravioli.
Precautionary call ups, I’m sure. Would be nice to see MDZ back anyway, providing he is ready.
Probably against what the team wants, DJK. He hasn’t exactly been lighting it up down there. But they need a body and MDZ does have NHL experience. Making the best of a bad situation, I believe.
Glad to hear good news on Prust and Girardi.
Thanks JPG for the win. We were losing until he came over after work and watched the rest of the game.
Really? I think jpg should become a stay home househusband then :-)
Del Zotto and Grachev recalled from Connecticut.
MDZ!!!!
Grachev up for Weise show how little they think of Weise’s game. Also shows they know they need offense and are praying for Grachev to provide it.
new post.
Yes the toaster Buitoni pizzas! Best Pizzas EVER.
SO worth scorching the roof of your mouth!
I occasionally harass Buitoni’s website for them to make them again.
They’re missing out on a fortune!
MDZ better behave himself this time if he wants to stay in NY.
