Last game for a week, so enjoy it. We’ll have to fill the six off days with some jibberish and stuff here.
Same lineup, with Lundqvist in goal.
And yours truly (which means me) will be on the radio (1050-AM and newyorkrangers.com) with Kenny Albert during the first intermission. Could be a Boneheads shout-out.

Top of the world, Ma!!!!
Keep blocking those shots, there are a few guys left in Hartford…
Carp
since you have a few minutes before opening faceoff
care to finish my story?
i’ve got the quotes all lined up!
jpg?
Thanks Izzy! Yay, Carp at intermission!!!! I always listen to nyr radio then anyway!
I wouldn’t worry about filling the blog with jibberish…..that happens even during back-to-back game nights :)
LGR!!!
How many players do we need back off the injury list to bench Drury?
yes Carp?
it’s a preview of Lisa Lampanelli.
ok, inhale it is
Trouthead told me to!
It’s Goat Time!
anyone have a link? ATDHE is not showing it. I hate Boston-no MSG here.
If you quote Lisa Lampanelli here, all you’re going to say is carcillo, cooke, hartnell, byfuglien etc….
Bwaha! MZA likes Gossip Girl!
We can bond!
she’s a big Sex and the City fan
and named her adopted dog
Parker after sarah jessica….
lets go already
could someone stick dirty socks in Al Trautwig’s mouth, please? The things he says…fugging embarrassment.
Mama!!!!
where were you last night?!?!?!?
man, it was a tough night
all my comments got the stone face
tough crowd
i even posted at one point
well
Mama gets my twisted humor!
GO boys , lets win this thang!!
Al Trautwig has terrible looking teeth.
do not exhale. because you know what happens right after that.
did anybody have any problems getting on here a little while ago?
jpg, I am confused by this whole dialogue? what story? who is Lisa Lampanelli? what are we talking about?
For some reason i had trouble getting to your site today carp, it kept asking me to make a blog?
LOL jpg! I saw that today…I was beyond tired and could barely lift my head off the pillow. Sorry! I’m here tonight though!
(hhmmmm. thinks to self. do I want to be known as getting jpg’s twisted humor…....)
Tonight’s hockey streams: http://tinyurl.com/4sfjwht
I suggest you bookmark that forum.
carp, I’m fine, but yes, some folks are…..I think we may be fine now?
Carp i had trouble, i just have a tab on my mac that brings me right to the site but now it asks me to login and create a blog, and when i google rangers report and click the first link it brought me to a political article
Eeeevening gang!
One more boys, one more, than you can all take a few days off to heal and breathe.
Mickey, went out for a fine snack tonight, but kept thinking of you :)
is everyone OK with blog? Carp, i’d make a call but don’t think anyone would answer :)
Yeah, I had trouble getting here. Load of trouble. I don’t know where I ended up. Finally got here from Facebook link. I’m afraid to leave.
Thanks, JBytes
Carp
all is fine.
asking you to write it was just a joke.
i am writing a preview story on standup comedian Lisa Lampanelli
btw,
i did have a problem getting on the site a few minutes ago
took me to the politics blog
whatta way to boost traffic??!?!?!!?
I had trouble. Tried to refresh from last night’s game, got a political blog. Then went to my favs and it loaded fine from there.
Mama, lol. Chicken and rice tonight. I’d share, but that’s a long-assen dinner table!
Radek Dvorak, the last of the Czech Mates
Let’s Go boys! Win this one, before Sather wakes up from hibernation…
Carp
thought you knew that i’m a writer
Someone just got crunched big time
jpg and all….Carp is aware of the problem. You all seem to be going to the same weird place. I’m sure he’ll try to fix. My powers in that regard got laid off last year :(
jpg, you HAVE to send me that story for me to read!
Dvo… probably my fav Czech mate
early Sweet 16!!
Mickey, you should know, I love chicken and rice!!!
jpg, you say you are. let’s read something, then we’ll see :)
Avery doing gymnastics now, lol.
Another fantasmic power play!
ha! Mickey, I was waiting for the first PP comment!
First I got asked to create a blog, then, on successive attempts, I got the Lohud Democrat political blog….after all that, I went to the Lohud site, and chose the RR Blog from there…
Drury—at least it was on net
Did you hear that? “Drury has some life…”
Drury with life? Who knew the dead could come alive?
I saw Drury move!
I think it’s fixed now … but anybody having any trouble should post it here, if possibe. If not, email me at rcarpini@lohud.com.
Johnny, we’re trying to hold our readers captive. Sort of like the Bubble Boy.
The Captain’s flying.
Mama, I’m not making it this way tonight, but try this for a new chicken and rice recipe. Cut up chicken into bite size piece and brown in a pan. Add in Italian dressings, chopped up fresh tomates and green peppers. Let it all cook down. Make Rice-A-Roni. Once everything is ready, pour the chicken mixture over the Rice-A-Roni. Inhale until you are stuffed.
Gee, Barry Manilow is still playing concerts?
C-17 or a TomCat, Carp?
i predict Newbury vs Hordichuk later
I just started a new blog on here… It’s about reflecting on, and waiting until next Christmas. I called it “Pause and Claus”.
What kind of plastic is that bubble made of, is it like that dry cleaning plastic?
I want a defenseman to score tonight. Been a while since that happened.
btw, is/are the Whale still doing okay with their top 10 guys up in NY? did they call up guys from ECHL?
sweet move by McD. He sure can skate.
what an amazing move by McD
U, I JUST SPIT OUT MY DRINK!!!! Thanks!!!
Mickey, I’m stuffed just reading that :)
What does Sam mean “what a move”? That’s my move!
Game over
Season over
Friggins!
did Sam jinx Hank?!?!?!!?
grrrrrrrrrrr
fug
Wow nice shot
Bah Softqvist Syndrome is the last thing we need tonight!
I guess it’s OK to mention Lundqvist’s shutout record now…
ARGH! I leave to work on dinner and see they are done. BOOOOOOOO
Err, down, not done.
I miss my good Marty
Not Hank’s fault there.
Thank you Noah :)
good correction Mickey! I almost went to get a newspaper reserved for ORR!
It sounded like that shot hit Anisimov’s stick and deflected over LQ’s shoulder. Is that what they said on TV?
right, it was Sather’s fault
That’s the only goal Fla. will get.
Johnny, Oh, no, I’m so sorry. the correct answer is The Moops.
don’t forget the Higgins goal.
Carp, yep, it deflected off AA’s stick. Least that is what it showed on replay.
Too much fuggin passing. Zuekster needs to shoot.
Shoulda shot instead of passing to Stepan
that’s it
send Stepan down
Del Z is gonna score on this PP
Rangers offense, especially pp,
is too focused on working along the boards.
That’s not Moops you *&^&, it’s Moors! hahahahahaha
How do we know when Rangers will lose possession? Whenever Gaborik carries the puck!
Drury on the point? God help us.
Horrible PP.
With Dreary at the point, unreal.
jpg, when you sound like ORR, it makes the ink on my newspaper itch….
IT’S ALL PLAYING ALONG THE BOARDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
NOTHING ELSE!!!!!
WTB?!?!?!!?
THEY’RE KILLING ME!!!
yeah, Sam, I could kill a penalty with that going on!
Mama
“it makes the ink on my newspaper itch”
huh? new curse words i missed?
um, guys
maybe shoot
on the non-glove side.
just a suggestion.
I wish it was the 3rd period, so I can actually enjoy this game.
here’s a link for Mama and Carp
and anyone else
who cares
http://www.morningjournal.com/articles/2009/11/06/entertainment/mj1842887.txt?viewmode=fullstory
my 2009 Lisa Lampanelli story
OK period. Not good, not great. Unfortunate deflection.
Alright boys don’t save it for the 3rd. Unleash the fury for the next 40 and beat the Punters!
nope. this
“that’s it
send Stepan down”
notice how I quoted you in your jpg haiku :)
Sorry, but I’m not seeing a goal in my crystal ball.
Meh.
ha! 3rd period comments….jpg, off to read!
JBytes, now my ink is really itchy!!!!!!
Carp is up next on the radio broadcast.
Prust’s teeth seem so bad that maybe he should
loose some chicklets and start again.
holy carcillo!!
i thought i had an underbite.
I have to disagree with the prevailing wisdom on that goal. The shot was deflected far out as soon as it was taken. There is no way Hank had it lined up in that millisecond before it was deflected and then was fooled by the deflection. A little home cooking dished up by the announcers there.
Mama, maybe you need a scratch pad for that ink, just don’t write anything rash…
listen to the Prust interview
“yeah, maybe i should” put protection on the other foot
just makes me think
that he could have been a guest
with Bob & Doug
on the Great White North
is Carp supposed to be on the radio now?
did i miss him?
Mama
the send Stepan down
comment came right after he missed the night
i think sarcasm runs through my family’s bloostream
as much as red and white cells.
Carp is on RIGHT NOW!
Lundqvist gave up that goal the same way he always does. He went down to his knees and waved his weak glove.
Fire Sather!!!!
http://defendingthecore.blogspot.com/2011/01/first-period-thoughts_25.html
love listening to carp…..
Rangers do know they’re allowed to score 1st right? And that they’re permitted to score when they have an extra player?
Boo I wanna listen to Carp but this computer won’t let me!
FIRE SLUT OLGA!
ha! carp said monster!!
Too bad the Rangers are on a radio station with a 10 mile broadcast radius. I can get Toronto stations, but 1050… forget about it.
Boyle = monster
Mama, why didn’t you go to the game?
Carp is off the radio for those that might still think he is on.
“The New York Islanders suspended goalie Evgeni Nabokov for failing to report to the team after being claimed off waivers, the team announced Tuesday.”
Dang, missed Carp cause I had to reboot :(
Johnny you are right. Their reception is garbage compared to 660 for example. 970 AM is even worse than 1050.
credit to jpg’s sister
for mentioning that
today is
Esa Tikkanen’s birthday!!
Hyvää syntymäpäivää!!
Good interview! Isn’t ESPN Radio -1050 available on an internet stream?
Johnny, too late now, but I’ve told folks a billion times…if you’re online, go to rangers site and click listen for game….that’s how you get Maloney, too…
jpg, you meant, send in the stepans now :)
CT, LOL…miss me at MSG!
jpg, we are so alike, it’s scary :)
4ever, you know I like you, but can we lose the folks fight. pleeeeeeeeeeasssseeeeeeee! that goes for you too Folks…..
I just say FIRE SATHER and 4everwanker starts foaming at the mouth again. It’s like poking at a badger in a cage with a long stick.
stream came out fine. listened to Carp.
but now that the game is on
i can’t take it because it’s way behind the
tv broadcast
970 – AM’s signal is pathetic, especially at night – makes me long for the days when the Rangers were carried on 660 – WFAN….
Step-On it!
haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
FINALLY FOR STEPAN!
WooHoo!
Finally! It’s in!
alright Mama
maybe that Stepan kid can stay
What determination from el nino?!! 1-1.
Steppy!!!
Hey Sam, Zuke ain’t going anywhere.
jpg!!!! hahahahahahah! hey hey heye!!!!!
I agree Jimbo. 660 was so much better.
Ridiculous!!
Damn
Easy come, Easy go….
The puck was kept in.
Ridiculous! Crappy shift by whoever was on the ice, too.
fug fug
Can’t Torts throw the red flag on that offsides?
carcillo!!
we are so helpful to goal scoring droughts
Pull Lundqvist please!
For the love of….ARGH!
Timeout, please.
Horrible. Fuggin horrible.
Whiskey-Tango-Foxtrot!!!?????
full puck needs to go past blue line.
from those angles it looked as if puck didn’t
completely go past blue line
Game over?
Geeesh, didn’t the Rangers lose 3-0 to this team a couple of weeks ago? Eminger and MDZ -2 already.
kinda surprised that Torts didn’t use a timeout.
well, at least we have a period and a half
to catch up
What is it , looked like 3 florida shots – 3 goals?
jpg, now it occurs to me that you did tell me that … and like almost everything else not related to hockey, I forgot.
Maloney doesn’t pull any punches…..says all 3 goals Hank wants back….
triple fug. Sally, I’ll e-mail you. old schoolers, you know who are…I miss 660 too :)
yes, the radio show is behind the game…now you all know how much I run back and forth to keep up!!!
Olga, I asked both of you to be nice. Seriously…..I’ll give up, but then I give up….you really want that!!!
Really loose on D this period.
So that joke of a team the Devils can score 5 against these clowns and beat them but the Rangers….
If we lose this game, I’ll be alright with it provided we don’t give up!
Not a meltdown, but close…Hope I’m wrong
The Panthers ALWAYS play us tough no matter how bad they are.
DJK, you’re kidding, right?
What’s Deb looking at??
Mama. I don’t start anything with him. I don’t even talk to him. I suggest you direct your comments to the one that can’t mind his own business here.
I’m afraid that Rangers so called resilience, still has it limit.
Yay an email from mama! I’m really bored at work.
gee, and we were all so in love with this team this morning…wtb! I still am!
oops. here it comes sally in 2….
somebody tell tiki that bill mccreary just got hurt. that should cheer him up.
with a goalie playing so well
Artie needs to put more into that shot
Here we go again.
wtb?!?!?
now Emminger and McD?!??
Hi, Sally!
Honestly I’m glad we got the 2 points vs the Caps, if we lose tonight so be it.
The only good news Philthies lead 2:0 Montreal
This is the game I thought they’d play last night
Carp- check out our record vs. the Panthers over the last few seasons. For some reason I don’t think it’s particularly good.
I would have rather gotten the two points tonight against Florida. I know we’re contending for a spot with the Caps, but, we need to beat teams like Florida. This game reminds me of the old Rangers and I don’t like it.
johnny we havent scored more than 3 goals since toronto and before that it was liek a 10 game streak with 2 or less. we cant score. and with hank giving up some weak ones we are justa bout out of it tonight. dont see another comeback in us. and somebody get avery off teh top line please. he sucks
gee, remember the days when higgins’ shots
usually went wide?
Rangeritis?
Oh hey Carp!
Boy, they like to shoot on Hank from our left corner in this game
Gotta say, that GAA line does tons of skating and cycles quite well, but rarely even get a decent shot off. Seems to me of the 3, Avery gets the best chances, but is handling the puck like a grenade more often than not. Gaborik is skating hard and going into the corners, but where are the scoring chances?
that was a boneheaded play by Boyle and McD
in allowing the panther get behind ‘em for the rebound
but
bad for Hank to do the usual
on his knees and get beat high over the shoulder
(ORR!! will find something dirty about what i just said…and
i can’t blame him)
I love rooting against Montreal, but when they play the Flyers I can’t be too happy if they lose…
I’m sorry, did some of you have trouble getting on to the blog cause you were looking for Negative Nancy?
Sal, sent you e-mail :)
I wish they would just throw it at the net from anywhere instead of trying to make passes and plays.
Jimbo,
understood, but we need it..
Yep, the King back too far in his net, one of his weaknesses that when it’s exposed, is really exposed. Gotta figure if the Panthers go up 4-1 the game is over (although I suppose with this club, you never know).
hmmm…what would milbury say on Avery penalty?
wussification or just rank on Jagr?
Weak call on Aves…and 4ever, understood!
well, overall it’s 36-23-6-4, and the Rangers won the last three meetings last season, 4-1, 4-1 and 2-1.
Drury didn’t shoot wide
just trying to be positive
jimbo, that was textbook interference.
and sarcastic!
Olga, mama is an equal opportunity nice and newspaper kinda gal….
Carp, is it ok if I also don’t mind if mccreary is out :)
yeah, but judging by scating, guys look real tired, so I’m not so sure about come back in 3rd.
Ah thanks Carp. I don’t know why I remember differently.
skating itis..
will be glad to proven wrong, thou..
This is bush-league so far
4ever, agreed that they look tired. Looked it last night, too, at times.
Thank god the break is after this.
jpg is sarcastic! I’m shocked, shocked! next thing you’ll tell me is there’s gambling going on here!
I guess so, Carp – but the puck was practically there….no harm done, anyway….they looked better on the PK – more scoring chances!
They are not getting enough calls to go their way. Prust and Drury both should have drawn penalties at the end of that PK. And not enough SOG.
Not enough shots on goal..
Amateur-hour
And no rebounds from Vokoun, either…
David Booth is a shadow of the player he used to be pre-concussion.
if only we had a few more seconds that period….
That would have been nice to get right before the perdiod ended.
Welcome to the Mickey Mouse Club
perdiod? LOL. I love inventing new words.
man, Hank stinks
scorers stink
i’m going to switch over and watch something
more exciting like the state of the union address
doing shots every time there’s applause
and every time they show a republican looking
unhappy
May I remind you all of something, from a couple of posts ago: Geez. Will you all not give up! Remember what we expected fro this trip! Here are some earlier comments from a guy I respect:
Six days ago, we were sitting in the press conference room and John Tortorella was talking about losing Brandon Dubinsky, on top of losing all these other players including Ryan Callahan, and during the game that night the Rangers would also lose Ruslan Fedotenko.
And that was the first game of a stretch of five in seven nights. I wrote that the Rangers just need to keep their heads above water until the all-star break, a six-day vacation for the Rangers, after which Callahan comes back. And I was thinking if they win two of the five, that would be pretty damn good. And then in the third game, they lost Dan Girardi. And Brandon Prust—who had three separate injuries.
Well, what in Holy Hell? Here they are at home tonight in Game 5, against the Florida Panthers, with a chance to go 4-1! With minor-leaguers and third and fourth-liners all over the roster! They have 17 points out of games in which they trailed entering the third period. That number is off the charts.
The defense rests.
DJK, it’s probably because before the Rangers won those three in a row last season, the Punters won four in a row.
Mama, he’s good looking, too.
jpg, you must be passed out by now
Carp, you’re too nice…he’s my Sweet 26!
One period left, guys. We can do it! I think Torts is going to fire these guys up to play strong for one last period! LGR!!!!!!!!
jpg:
I love your
twisted humor, and
having met you, I like
you
but sometimes you
really
tick me
off
even when I
like you
oops. Carp, I meant, you’re my Sweet 26…..dang jpg, he got me all byfuglien’d
One period left, and a big rest to follow….a big push and an early goal can turn this game around..
Anybody hear aboot this?? The Mighty Ducks hate Jews!!!
“23-year-old Jason Bailey—a 3rd round NHL pick in 2005—claims from the moment the Ducks assigned him to play for an affiliate team called the Bakersfield Condors … his coaches unleashed a “barrage of anti-Semitic, offensive and degrading verbal attacks.”
In the suit, filed today in Orange County Superior Court, Bailey claims the head coach of the Condors told him ”[Jews] only care about money and who’s who” and that he “never wanted his son to be raised Jewish or to wear a Yarmulke.”
Bailey claims the assistant head coach would get in on the Jew-bashing too—saying things like, “Oh, I just got a friend request from a dirty Jew.”
Bailey says the coaches also forced him to travel apart from the team and he was “rarely given any ice time” in games because he’s Jewish.
According to the documents, filed by Bailey’s powerhouse lawyer Keith Fink, Bailey complained to the Ducks about the hostile work environment—and the team reacted by instructing the coaches to pen apology letters to Bailey in which they both admitted to using hurtful language.
Bailey was eventually traded to the Ottawa Senators in 2009—and insists the Ducks were “happy to be rid of him.”
Bailey is suing for unspecified damages.
Calls to the Ducks have not been returned”
Panthers have been known to drop leads lately, and the Rangers have been known to have strong third periods lately
its not over till its over
Laurel,
Rangers made 24 shots so far; how many shots did you take?
Somebody asked about the Whale. They’re tied 2-2 right now…2 goals by Weise.
I have to say so far that I think Weise looked better than Grachev has. He at least hit everything that moved with an opponent jersey on.
well, we could come back
ya never know!
where are the tiki???? ORR, No comment til I read up….oy.
Go…I’m with you. No matter what, I still say LGR!
i need to go on an exclamation point diet
they’re watching that exciting state of the union address
and playing the drinking game
or
there are new Megan Fox pics online
Awwright!
In Prust We Trust!
Woohoo. Prustbyterians Unite!
Here we go!!!!!!
Friggin Prust!!!
Man do I have good timing. Did dishes and got some dessert, all during the intermission and back in time for the 3rd.
HEY! A GOAL!! PRUSTIE!!!
yesssssssss
4ever, not even 2…come on:) where is my 4ever??!!!
jpg, who are you and where is my jpg!
PRUSTTTTTTTTTTTTTIUEEEEEEEEEEE!
How did that go in? It’s like an illusion.
Jpg, I got one of them as my background on the comp.
The on where she’s laying on the couch. Baby!
Lust for Prust [from the ladies]!
Review? The hell?
have I mentioned how much i love the goal song? MZA!!! Prust!! Sauer!!
even if his leg touched the puck it was trying to move it to the front
NOT
in the net
Such a cheap shot after Prust had scored.
Prust is Graves-esque
ORR!!
you make me proud
Mickey, really!
ORR and jpg…oy!
In Prust I trust!
Time for Gaborik to earn his money.
Anybody smiling yet?
Plenty of time…
ummm, dnw the pp
Crap. Cower Play.
We got a hockey game!
LET’S GO NYRANGERS!
c’mon
we’ve GOT to make this pp
work
GET AWAY FROM THE BYFUGLIEN BOARDS!!!!
No matter what I say sometimes…...even though you deserve it….I love you all!
Mama, really what? Did I do something wrong?
bb!
Boylllle! WoohooWoohooWoohoo!
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!
WooooHooo!!!!!
Zuc and Boyle
from the bottom to the top!!!!
Flavah X-Plosion!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Garden is rockin’!
I told you Boyle needs to stay in front of the goalie!!!
Boyle=SuperMonster! 3-3!
Amazing.
Okay Rangers, don’t give up another one RIGHT away.
Boyle is the clutch master
Tied Up! On the Power Play no less…
BUNCH OF MONSTERS!!!!!!!
BELIEVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BOYLE!
Unflippinbelievable.
I <3 this team!
YESSSSSSS!!!!
ummm….that didn’t come out right
oh, BIG whoops
that i gave credit to Zuc and not Gabby
me bad
How did Gabby not score that?
BBBBBBBBBBBB!!!!!!! WTB with this team!!!!
This kid Zook is gonna be a STAR in this league!!
go for the DAGGER!!!!!
maybe weiss was upset by Boyle’s
shots to vokun after putting the puck in the net
Hank has the arm strength of my friend’s
infant daughter!!!
and
!!!
Mickey, the “they” knows who they are….never you! mama love for you!!!!
Ladies and germs, your team leader in goals is…..
BRIAN BOYLE.
Whoda thunk it?
Settle down now, boys! We need the points.
unbelievable.
i bet you couldn’t find one person who said boyle would lead the team halfway through the season with 18 goals. so beast.
oh this team has got the magic touch
hahahhahahhahahhah who saw Zuke jump into Boyles arms!
am i going to have to be superstitious again
and not drink anything for the rest of the game?!?!?
d**n!
work, work, work, work, work
jpg!! that’s what I mean!!!! argh!!!!!!!!!! If I hadn’t met you and liked you, you’d be in BIG trouble!
Mama, I am totally confused as to what you are talking about, but I love you too!
I still despise Florida because of their cheap 1996 route to the Stanley Cup finals
Alright now this game entered NYR territory!
I have never seen a Ranger team bring the absolute thunder every time they are trailing on the scoreboard like this one!
btw, should I keep eating ice cream the rest of the game since that is what I was doing when they scored both those goals?
I almost got reduced to tears watching how Zuk jumps in Boyle’s hug in goals celebrations. What a sciene!
Carp, as you did to ilb, give this to JBytes:
Boyle=SuperMonster!
Del Z will score on this PP!!
This time I mean it!
Mickey, yes
4ever, me too! Sob!
I knew Staal hadn’t been taken by the pretty-boy Weiss
Boyle and Zuke are just too funny to see next to each other.
Who wants the 2 points?
Keep eating the ice cream…but pace yourself…the period is still young!
i want a zuke jersey now! He got me 3 assists in my fantasy league today!
I am soooo bummed I’m not at game or going to warren as planned….but being here with you all sure makes up for it :)
Mama, OK! But I’m sending the doc’s bill to the Rangers for my diabetes!
DUDE. SHOOT!
That was MDZ’ shot there.
Thanks for the vote, Mama!
I’m so happy to see MZA and Boyle playing on the same line sometimes. lol
Mickey, claim Rangeritis….it’ll take the hmo ages to figure that out. maybe ilb can help with a diagnosis….
thanks Mama!
and a bonus
!!!!
for you
Why does Sam always have to mention that the other team doesn’t have a shot on goal here in the 3rd? That never goes well. Asshat Sam!
(snickers) My twitter account is alternating between Rangers and the State of the Union. Two things that really do not go together at all.
JByes….you’re a write in :)
OY, this game is killing my internal organs…...
Mama, LOL
jpg, what’s with the excess of exclamation points? Too much espresso? :)
Pizza, Pizza … needs to score
oh shut up Sam
in regards to cindy
sheesh!! did nhl brass make you say that
FUGGGGG!!!!
That one is ALL on Hank.
You have got to be kidding me!
I am a political science major and i much rather watch my Rangers than State of the Union haha. I really should be watching it though…
wow … game over
Perfect. Just perfect!
That’s just awful!!!!
Bad bounce…..
Oh, for pete’s sake!!!!!!!!
so Artie has 2 goals tonight
unfortunately, they’re for the panthers
I am a former newswoman. The SOU means a lot to me…..yet I will read about it in the paper tomorrow…..are my priorities wrong? NO!!!!
Wow! And I was just thinking how the bounces were going the Rangers way. Bummer.
OK, maybe not…Still., BOOOOOOOO!
!
That’s 2 goals deflected off AA this game….
“wow … game over”
How quick they turn… :)
They mention the name of Crosby and a black cloud instantly descends. Curse you Sam and Joe.
I fully blame that on Sam for saying how the Panthers hadn’t had a shot on goal in the period. Asshat Sam.
fug again
TrueBlue
they’ll rehash it all night long
and there’s a rebroadcast
you’re in the right place
for right now
i’ll go with that Blue Seat
Mama
can i have a drink now?
jpg, pour a pint…..I still love my boys!!!
true blue Mike
I was thinking of majoring in poly sci? how is it?
The guys on the radio also mentioned no Panther SOG just before that one, too…...they’re ALL guilty!
Keep eating the ice cream!!! Faster, harder!
so Zuc needs to get a 4th assist and
Artie needs to be shown which goalie to score against
Florida looks freshier. Is it too much to ask guys to energize ??
Let’s hope Gaborik can put one in off his head.
thanks for the go ahead Mama
btw
i sent a link to one of my stories earlier
did you see it?
oh good god sam
stop it with the cindy love!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I had to stop, Jimbo. Couldn’t eat any more. Sorry :(
Wow! Even without sausage lips and Malekenstein the Penguins can beat an AHL team. That’s profound Sam.
Blue,
you mean from his hat?
can Wolski score if it’s not a breakaway or shootout?
maybe we should try Drury in goal?
Drury is shockingly ineffective.
shoot, jpg, yes I did….got caught up in game….
yes, you can write (and I was joking, have read something else you sent me)
I love how you let her speak for herself, and you did serious research…...awesome job….though, and don’t be mad, as your editor I would have worked on the lede….:) sorry!
ranger909, if your interested in politics and like it, then it is the easiest major ever
I’m OK with losing this. The effort was there but the bad bounces did us in.
no problem Mama
just curious
as far as the lede
that is my editor's work
not me
i have MANY a depressed day when he "fixes" my ledes.
Now, that hurts! So close… just pure bad luck
nooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Dammit
Dammit!
Good effort. Sorry they couldn’t have gotten at least a point.
Zuccarello = Monster
Tough to lose that on a fluke goal. At least they get to rest and heal for a week.
Why the fugg is Avery on the ice in the final minute? What is he supposed to do?
Waste of a game. I’m getting sick of these teasing comebacks. I’d rather them get blown out 25-0.
Aves had a chance, but couldn’t get a break…
I’m not upset at losing this game, considering the depleted lineup and last night’s win. I’m more disappointed at HOW they lost, on such a flukey goal.
that was a bitter ending. Rangers never quit though.
Rest up. You earned it. Heal up. This team makes me so proud to be a Ranger fan.
Del Zotto will almost certainly be heading back to the Whale after this one. Sad to say but his offensive game is greatly outweighed by his defensive liabilities.
Drury needs to wear a gun and mask on the ice. He’s stealing millions out there…
They didn’t quit, though…..still showed character…..bad break on that last goal, and ONLY SOG in the 3rd…
well, if you wanna take a positive out of this
we finally are looking better on the pp
and when we pull the goalie
...ummmm…..i’m sorry but Artie needs some tape
work….....some bad luck in our zone
but some work in offensive zone
jpg, i never did that to my writers, but ha! yes, I can appreciate that sentiment! it’s hartnelling annoying, eh!
To all the negative peeps…shhhhh. Won’t have it. To the others, yay! Good time for a break…heal, rest (Prust! you listening!) work as you have to….I love my boys!!! Gotta go chat on phone now for a bit with friend….catch up with you tomorrow.
LGRRRRRRRR!!!!
But I still hate the fact that upon returning back from a winning road game, they always seem to come up short at home….frustrating as hell!
Yet ANOTHER game that displayed how painfully obvious it is that Drury is finished as an NHL player.
No reason we can’t FIRE SATHER now.
Depleted lineup or not, they went up against a crappy Panthers team. Should have at least gotten a point out of this one.
For the second night in a row, Sean Avery was perfect on faceoffs (yeah, so it really only added up to 3 wins, but he hasn’t lost).
Gotta give them props for this 5 in 7 stretch. Got 6 points outta 10, pretty darn impressive.
2 unlucky goals. rangers totally dominated .good goaltending and some bounces and you get a win.
to bad, they outplkayed florida big time…
yes, hope that they rest rest rest
btw,
Mama send me a facebook message
and i’ll give you the real dirt.
ugh!!!! is it frustrating!!!
And how can you let Linda Ellerbee get a first career goal here?
Honestly no matter what happens this season (and I think we will make the playoffs simply by virtue of how bad the Isles, Leafs, Devils, Senators, and Sabres are) think about how much better we’ll be next year with Drury retired or bought out, Brad Richards signed, and (maybe!) Chris Kreider up….
Did I miss the Lundqvist =\= elite comments yet?
Anybody hear Lundquist get asked by Trautwig about the Panthers having only one shot in the 3rd period and that one shot goes in. Lundquist answered, “It was more than 1 shot, the guy who counts them is probably drunk again.” I hate when the Rangers lose but like how Lundquist gets just as pissed as me.
Can’t fault Hank for this game. Can’t win ‘em all and we never had the lead.
Del Zotto was on for at least 3 goals against. Drury was completely ineffectual. Eminger got hurt.
Really tough loss tonight, they definitely deserved the 2 points. Not going to let it bother me though, they’ve played with heart and character all year. Sometimes it’s just not your night. Happily take a week off to rest and recharge, and get some of our players back. LGR!!!!
I freakin’ hate Linda Ellerbee. You know that NBC told her to speak “like she was from nowhere” before they hired her? That Texas accent was a killer.
Anybody see the goal Vally-Cat gave up in Russia?

Didn’t Fischler say he could be a starting goalie on a few NHL teams? Bwahaha!
Chris Drury brings absolutely nothing to the table and I can’t wait for him to be gone.
The Rangers are 0-2 for the month of January against the Panthers. Kinda reminds of the Rangers of not too long ago, except when you look at the bigger picture, they’ve done very well this month.
Hopefully, some of the walking wounded get back in time for the next game.
Suspect tomorrow, MDZ, Dupont, Kolarik and Newbury will all go back to the Whale. MDZ’s confidence in his offensive game isn’t there yet. He had a perfect opportunity to set up Stepan and completely blew the pass, a pass that should have been relatively easy to make.
MDZ, I suspect, rushed the pass.
Another guy squeezing his stick is Gaborik. Last year, he’d get the puck and if in a reasonably good shooting position, snap it off. This year he gets in a similar situation and starts fiddling with it, trying to beat the defender for a clearer shot. And time and time again, ends up not getting a shot off at all.
Maybe some time off will help him regroup, too!
Oh yeah, Grachev will go back tomorrow, too, I’m sure…

Yeah – send Vally to the Devils or Islanders…... ;-D
