Before we get to the game, youse should know I’m on a banning rampage. And if some of you clowns keep stepping out of line, you will be banned … and I might as well tell you that I will enjoy doing it. OK?
Update on Del Zotto. He is now gone to Hartford. He had stayed around just to make sure McCabe arrived and was able to play right away. McCabe is still wearing a shield for his broken jaw, which he suffered six weeks ago. He hopes to get rid of it soon.
Lundqvist in goal. Eminger and McCabe playing together. Newbury in for Fedotenko.

First! – Let’s go Rangers!!!
lets Go McRangers!
im actually kind of hoping Richards gets dealt elsewhere. I would absolutely love to get a younger guy like Stastny and the Rangers have the pieces to get a guy like that in the offseason.
It’s the Battle of the Banned!!
Let’s Go Rangers!!
LETS GO RANGERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just woke up…
Rangers game is on!
Life is good!
acesand …
Thats awesome news. I really wanted the Ranger to go after him and Zucc but I thought after what happened with Heikkinen that the Rangers maybe would have lost some credibility in signing European FA’s
Obviously, this year Zucc changed that and the Rangers are HUGE in Norway right now. I think I read next to the US, Norway is the 2nd most popular country to visit the Rangers website
Matthias – hahahahaha! What a mistake by Arsenal goalie!!
Afternoon gang.
Let’s win this one for the new guy, eh.
LET’S GO RAN-GERS! CLAP! CLAP! CLAP CLAP CLAP!

The force is strong with McCabe…but he is NOT a Ranger yet.
REPOST
NYR4Life February 27th, 2011 at 12:39 pm
Long time reader first time poster here. Just saw something interesting on espn that made me realize how much classier the rangers are than the penguins. All season long we have known exactly where and how our boys have gotten hurt yet the pens are still on the upper/lower body plan.
“Forward Dustin Jeffrey (lower body) could return as soon as Friday, while forward Mark Letestu (lower body) isn’t far behind. Defenseman Paul Martin (upper body) is expected back after this weekend, while forward Chris Kunitz (lower body) will miss another week or two.”
That to me shows zero respect for their fans. Then again can we expect anything different from Mario?
Oh and don’t forget there’s a Knicks game tonight @ 7:30
P.S. Clowns will be banned! lol
i sense…a zuccarello goal in the first period…
Just Woke Up
Rangers Game Is On
Life Is Great!
I’m Mcloving it!
Ben Foster! Birmingham! Champions! Chad Jennings (Yankees beat writer for Lohud) won’t be too happy. :( He’s an Arsenal fan.
Now i’m interested in getting a mcPowerplay so we can see what kind of mcShot McCabe has!
LGR!!
i know its precautionary,but i HATE those chin guards,so goofy.
Really excited about this game.. Tampa’s always a tough team to play against, so this should be a good one. And looking forward to see McCabe. Let’s go Rangers!
NYR4Life, you can’t blame them for trying to hide their weaknesses right now, especially with their top (hot) dogs (lips) out of the lineup…but then again, if it gives me more reason to dislike Mary-O (as if I need it) then YEA! ZERO RESPECT!!!
Let’s Go Rangers!
Heritage jerseys… I think I should be worried.
Hah! Just saw Mama and met Fozzy and Noremy and her husband. Nice, nice, nice people. It’s so great to get to know so many Boneheads.
NYR4Life
I actually took a look recently at which teams have been the worst this season with the upper/lower body injury thing. Penguins not actually that bad generally (maybe they’ve started clamming up in the last few weeks though).
http://springingmalik.blogspot.com/2011/01/pain-game-201011-part-four.html (scroll to the bottom)
Indeed, Mickey. Indeed.
anybody know what the Heritage Jersey record is?
Staal out as team plays 5 games in 8 days ending with Philthy again next Sunday aft. Hopefully back by end of week.
Were they this awful with the Liberty jerseys? I don’t remember.
Please don’t take penalties today, please.
We haven’t beaten these guys yet, right?
Nice time to start. They could potentially be our first round opponent.
Damn! Those kids ears looked like cartoon ears.
Carp, surprisingly, they’re 3 and 6 with the jerseys.
As in 3W and 6L.
the rangers didn’t do well with the very short lived white liberty jerseys
i’m thinking they’re like 3-7 with the heritage but i don’t even know how to look that up
hey Mickey lol
We need a win , we need 2 points.
LGR !
refresh, refresh, refresh = $4.50
Orr – nope. Three games so far this year, Tampa’s won them all.
Three wins and six losses, Dubiiiii.
http://rangers.nhl.com/club/page.htm?id=66075
john amirante never looked so good!
What do we got going on over here???
This is better than Ace Frehley
I love how they only show the anthem on ‘special days’.
McCabe!! The new greatest human being in the greater New York area!
Carp, happy you’re meeting the boneheads – don’t ban them – hahaha
Yeah, Dubii. Maybe it was a face lift.
wow,nice pipes!
‘Sup Lin!
Not surprisingly there are tons of blue shirts in the stands today.
calm down guys she’s only 16 lol
too bad she didnt sing at the super bowl!
Did the Tampa announcer just call him “King Henry?”
McCabe looks like Tony Montana with those smelling slats.
Game on. Yeah!
It’s McPower Play time. Dig it!
Early look at the new guy on the PP
Carp, I hope the hammer came down on those responsible for last night’s nonsense. Thanks for keeping the place cleaned up.
Now, LGR’s!!
“im actually kind of hoping Richards gets dealt elsewhere. I would absolutely love to get a younger guy like Stastny and the Rangers have the pieces to get a guy like that in the offseason.”
Cosign. I keep seeing Dustin Penner’s name mentioned as available as well, and he’d be a real nice fit, but I have to imagine the cost is prohibitive.
Five forwards is just so stupid. I don’t like it.
5 forwards. DNW
JOE? Saying good stuff about the Rangers???? is it full moon time?
here’s your first PP with McCabe
I wonder how long before the five-forward power play unit bites us.
Crappy PP
Ugly
Weak
Byfuglien.
Not fun. Boooooo
Restart.
just woke up. put on a stream of game and first thing I see is a St. Louis goal. ugh. should have stayed in bed
Weak carcillo. Thanks Henrik. Shut out a team when we’re winning 6-0 and 7-0, but give up a cheap goal like that. Frustrating.
One shot, one goal!
ugh
For all the stat guys out there, has Henrik ever recorded a shutout 1-0, or 2-0 with the 2nd goal being an empty-netter?
Trade McCabe.
{{{Linda}}}
;)-~
Tiki,
The Vancouver game, Henrik won 1-0. Probably the best game of the year for the team.
Might have been weak, but I totally expected St Louis to pass to the guy in the front and I think Hank did too.
Is this an insurmountable 1 goal deficit?
Tiki, he had a 1-0 shutout against Vancouver this year. I dunno of any others.
no that’s what happens when you have star players like St. Louis and Stamkos on the same line. I wouldnt call that a bad goal, thats just great puck movement.
Tiki – the Vancouver game this year for a start…
Sorry Noah-tenko-rury, didn’t see your post.
Same old story…soft goals take the Rangers out of the game early and they have to catch up. Henrik has to make that save…
what number is mccabe wearing?
{{{{MORG}}}}
28, miked.
Wow. A whopping one shot on goal.
St. Louis has pwned the Rangers since time immemorial.
any live links??
I don’t blame the goalie for that one. That’s a pretty good player on a one-timer, 3-on-2. WTF is the goalie supposed to do there?
Thanks for refresh refresh refresh-ing my memory. Wasn’t Vancouver struggling to score goals at that point in the season?
Salty, if you’re willing to download veetle
the new atdhe would probably be the one for you
IMO, Carp, that’s a one-timer that could have and probably should have been saved. Very bad angle. But we can agree to disagree. :)
no.
two things for this off season
1,get AA a girlfriend,he needs to pack on that 15lbs of “happy” weight.
2,get the guy who did Torts’ personality transplant to hook up Booger.
that is all.
lmao Morg!!!!!!!
10 pounds of muscle would make him harder to get off the puck for sure lol
MZA needs another goal.
He might not a Gandalf staff across the head if he doesn’t score a goal soon.
they are getting the grinding game going. it will be a while before the Tampa d zone coverage breaks down, and then the Rangers will cash in.
I tend to agree with oleo and Carp, after another look. Hank was fooled by the puck movement and didn’t really have a chance on the one timer…
Hedgirl with the penalty
Morg – the video earlier this season of Boogey at Build-A-Bear was priceless.
Zucs is fiesty,maybe he and SanLouey can fight over who is taller.
PP #2
death to king looooooouuueeeeeeeeey
these PP combos are horrible
I agree. Gotta change the PP around.
Terrible period so far.
NYR, not only that, but coming down the other side was Stamkos … and you can’t really ignore him, can you?
Nice play by Girardi to throw that awful pass from behind the net to the empty slot and trapping himself. He’s been the MMP so far—Most Miserable Player.
Yesh, that was horrible.
All those passes from behind the net to in front of the net are useless if there is no one there.
Do we ever win games when we have these “kids nights”??
stOw,did you see the double decker bus ride with Boogaard?
little kid;whats your name?
Booger;(as Lurch)Derek Boogaard
little kid:oh i saw you score a goal
Booger:(laughing(sort of),that wasnt me.
Your boys are skating at scrimmage speed today … like most of last February.
Danny G did that in the last game, and forced McDonut to take a penalty on OvechCANT.
I hate when d-men make that pass.
The Rangers like to put the kids through hell to test their loyalty early on.
Good points, NYR and Carp. I guess Ill take your word for it. I had Tiki Jay’s aasen in front of the TV working on a DVD recorder when it was scored, so my vision was impaired.
lol Carp, cement skates eh?
Sad to say but this one looks like ”...and the Rangers will run out of time…”
My queendom for another shot on goal
LMFAO Mickey! well done
your boy dubi will get one for ya
Carp- back up against a wall- do you move Girardi over Gilroy?
How the FUGG did he miss that????
Dubi!!!! Ugh!!!!
Dear messier.
Seriously Dubi? The net was wide open. WTB.
Morg – hahahahahhahahaha no, missed that one.
Dubi… you byfugliennut
Carp – thanks for pointing girardi’s pass out. When they win, puck control is the reason. They look hung over. Artie did the same thong on the last power play.
Learn to skate with the puck boys.
third times the charm(in)
They HAVE to score here.
BREAKING NEWS
Dalls took Dublowsky off their wish list :P
(buzzer sound) wrong-O, Lin
Another PP? Siiiiigh.
you still have 40 minutes mickey
no luck. Dubi put that on target, but Brewer deflected it with his stick off the post.
Here’s a point for the game review later/tomorrow 1) They really look like a different team from every aspect when they match up against Philly and TB don’t they? and not in a good way.
James, no, I keep Girardi over Gilroy … only because I’m not sure they’re going to be keeping Gilroy after the season is over, or maybe beyond tomorrow at noon. Girardi’s not bad. Blocks shots, etc. I don’t think he’s a first-pair D-man on a contender, though.
touche, Lin :)
I vote Torts gives them some espresso between periods. They look half asleep.
Tiki Jay just said the Lightning just came off of a 12 game homestand. Really? 12 game homestand? Ive never heard of that.
Ice must be slippery today. They are skating like a bunch of drunken sailors. Every time bolts touch them, they down.
Both teams did not have many scoring chances. Girardi brain fart deep in zone with stamkos on ice is a major byfuglein up.
there is a reason why the rangers haven’t beat the lighting or flyers in 2010/11 season. Those two teams are 1 and 2 in the conference.
James G: Those teams have a player at every position more talented than their counterpart on the Rangers, except the goalie, that’s why. Softqvist vs those teams = loss.
the PP is not working. Torts has too many guys in unfamiliar roles on the PP. better to use dmen on the point, just setup McCabe for one-timers with Boyle screening. keep it simple. forget the perimeter passing keepaway stuff.
How did they do it ??? I have seen Al Trautwig interviewing McCabe and he wasn´t in uniform, but it wasn´t taped because he mentioned the score after the first period ?????
At least McCabe is looking to fire some one-timers …. It’s been so long since we’ve seen that …. (((single tear)))
Matthias
There was a pretty good chance of the Rangers being 1-0 down and having hardly any shots, so they were comfortable pre-recording the interview.
you would think with all the trading for Richards talk that we would have shown up strong in this game ??
Not sure if there are any other beer geeks here but I decided now was the right time to crack my 2010 Imperial Stout Trooper. Guarantees I’ll enjoy one thing between now and 3:30.
LW3H..Usually Trautwig have one player after the first period in a closed room in full uniform to interview him…
I flip around here in between two computer screen and a TV so I thought I have missed something :)
Everytime they show Guy Boucher, I picture Hugo Weaving calling out “Mr. Andersooon…” to him.
bless Trautwig has…:)
Damn. McCabe looked slower than Malik. Bwaha
Can someone tell Girardi that the game started at 1
3/4 speed
Danny G is too busy filming the new Superman movie.
phwew
Orr, that’s what I’ve been saying. He has a big shot and he’s got an edge, but defensively he’s probably worse that Rozsival.
NY Post did their annual ‘best and worst in NY Sports’.. a few Rangers listed.. Gaborik under Underachieving and Callahan under Respected.
Is that a Michael Jackson glove, or a magicians glove, that Hank is wearing?
Apparently they are practicing their keystone kops routine this period.
MZA needs a trip back to the Shire after that penalty.
You could see that penalty coming for 5 strides before the trip.
That’s his first NHL penalty I believe…
....but he wasn´t proabably acquired because of his defensive strengths as he long he can make a difference to play the point on the powerplay :)
It’s pretty amazing how many scoring chances Prust has had this year on the PK. Excellent play by McDonagh there…
Sooner or later, one of these “almost breakaways” that the Lightning keep getting is going to connect…
What the fugg??
Game’s frozen
I dont know if its right, but it seems to be that Lecavalier is a step slower than in earlier years…
facepalming every minute of this game= not good
Holy Carcillo! Aves just hit the net!
Avery should get more time
Or they’ll get caught 5 on 4.
Rangers need a fight or a monster hit to get them stirred up
I really feel bad for Aves…I feel like if he scored a few lucky goals, he would break the slump and start scoring in bunches. His shooting % has been beyond bush-league…
Lecavalier is 2 steps slower than he was in his prime
With only six shots the Rangers dont really set the world on fire….
Lightning playing a good defensive system..not much space out there…
EC = Dork
Not sure what’s worse, this game or getting pitch-by-pitch updates on twitter of Ollie’s non-performance today
Stupid EC
Levavalier still faster than ec and vinny
McCabe is going to have trouble keeping pace with his teammates speed wise. That much was a given. But this team just isn’t playing smart or inspired in this game. Sick of hearing the early start as an excuse too.
Joe M called that one
Will that count? I think it will be reviewed for the net being off the moorings.
YEAHHHHHH WOOOOO PRUSTER!!!
YEAH!!!!!!!! Pruster shorthanded!!!!
IN PRUST WE TRUST!!!
BOOM
WHAT A GOOOAL WEEEEE
PRUST!
especially since the last game was friday night ;-)
prust….a beauty!
Prustly-timed goal! He FORCED it in! 1-1.
OMG! JOE GOT ONE RIGHT! THE WORLD IS GOING TO END ANY SECOND! FAREWELL EVERYBODY!!!! ::::HIDES UNDER BED::::
Joe: “They’re due” for a shorty
Net was on. That’s not a distinct kicking motion.
Oh no!
watch Prust get called for goalie interference…
!go shorty!
PRUST!!
“Not sure what’s worse, this game or getting pitch-by-pitch updates on twitter of Ollie’s non-performance today”
Ball
Ball
Ball
Ball
Ball
Ball
Ball
That should be a good goal…
No way… that wasn’t even CLOSE to a “definitive kicking motion”
James… lol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
my uncle is one of the video replay judges at msg. wonder if he is working right now
Sweet.
In Prust We Trust.
It’s Just Pain.
Prust is so tough he plays the body not the puck on breakaways
I sit corrected… In Prust I Trust!
Lecavalier fumbles it on the powerplay…..
King of the Shorties 2010-2011
LOL@ he plays the body on breakaways!
getting McDonagh for Gomez was a steal and a half
I still cant believe Mama led a “In Prust We Trust” with Prust at Warren earlier this season. OMG! :)
We lucked out on that one… that shoulda been a double minor
lol damn. Pruster is going to be in demand come nhl fantasy drafts next season.
lol @ Mister Delaware. They need to cut Ollie, like now. But enough baseball.
WOOHOOO PRUSTIE!
Isn’t it amazing, Lin? Who knew this guy could score like this on the PK? I would not have believed it if you told me before the season that he would have 4 SH goals!!!
It’s Just Prust.
lmao James. everyone laughed at me when I drafted him and Boyle!!
That’s the kid who fugged my dog! Yeah …I know that kid!
10 GOALS FOR PRUST WHO WOULDA THUNK?!
One thing that worries me about this team: all the players not hogging any cap space but outperforming their contracts. Some will definitely test the market
Dubi MIA
Fischler went to grade school with her
omg she is so cute lol
My grandmother has her beat by three years. She’s in no condition to attend Rangers games though.
Dublowsky’s been taking some stupid penalties lately.
Stick down, pls.
Yup.
They miss Chris Drury? Really???
I think Step-ON had a shot there.
That lady’s mother used to take her by the hand to see Chelios play.
Damn the PK looks great
LMAO CARP!!!!!!!!!
McBig Hit on Downie.
I think he’s injured, Orr. He is NOT skating like the monster he was earlier in the season. A lot of his penalties have been lazy and/or due to the fact that he loses a battle. He’s not the same player he was earlier in the season. He needs to get his legs back and play with that fire he had earlier in the year…
maybe he came back too quickly from his injury
Did anyone else lose the game on TWC?
Is Gaborik back? I havent heard his name called during the game. Just like when he does play.
Ya game is gone.. pissed. Listening to 1050 am.
Hitting’s picked up bigtime.. LOVE to see that.
Thanks AyVeere. Thought is was just me.
much better 20 minutes
Shocking. Afternoon game, and they stink in the 1st.
That tickle wasn’t creepy at all, Al.
Awkward Al moment
Chris, I did.
I’m watching the Bolts feed now.
Carp, is Don La Greca making the play-by-play on the Rangers radio ????
Did Al just molest that kid??
wow, that just gave me the willies
Torts looks like that someone has stolen his driving licence out of his car :)
Yes, I believe he is, Matthias.
Maybe Lin, although he needs to skate. He just looks like he lost a step. I really don’t know why, only Dubi knows. I’m not sure if it’s a timing thing or if the stress fracture is still bothering him. You’d hope he’d take himself out of the lineup if he knew the injury was holding him back.
Prust is so tough he doesn’t mow his lawn he glares at it till it retreats
lol @ retreats
hey, Ranger announcers, quit with the bs yappin about the stupid Knicks. I wonder if during the Knick games they constantly talk about the Rangers. hah, I’ll bet they don’t
do the knicks announcers talk about the Rangers as much as Al, Sam and Joe talk about the knicks?
its’ getting to crosby like levels lol
Linda, great minds think alike !!
No just in case if I would lost the stream or wouldn´t get one I would change to the radio broadcast :) but today it is just fantastic quality of stream and it is as great as on a TV….:)
lmao bb, i was cracking up when our posts showed up!
just wait for the crosby update in the 3rd
It’s nice that they talk about the Knicks. It’s good to support other NY teams, like the Knicks, Mets, and Yankees. You can’t go one NESN Red Sox broadcast without hearing the sniffing of the Celtics, Bruins, or Patriots’ jock.
No, the Knicks guys don’t mention the Rangers that often. And although I disagree, because basketball is a horrific sport, basketball is by far more popular than hockey. So that’s why the Rangers broadcast also caters to the basketball fans.
And I am pretty optimistic to catch the postgame as well as usally streams cuts off right after the final buzzer, but this channel seems to broadcast only MSG :)
Hi Linda. Good luck to the Mets this year.
Will someone PLEASE tell MSG to take that Heritage commercial off the air. Master Control can easily replace it with another PSA until Traffic gets in tomorrow.
Mickey – Are you going to get the MLB ticket with your cable company to see the Mets this year?
thanks
It’s a fuggin miracle! The TWC feed finally returned.
The Bolts announcers keep saying “Big Boyle” and “Little Zuccarello”
MSG feed is missing here in Brooklyn today, too – went out before the Prust goal, and hasn’t come back.
Tiki, for the fact that the Rangers never be mentioned on the Knicks coverage, they are very often shown on the Rangers coverage :)
Fugg me! Spoke too soon. Froze again!
Beer commercials are getting dumber by the minute
I’d rather wear the Euro thong than drink Miller Lite
LULZ @ complaining about Dubinsky. Probably the same guy who complained about Jagr
Dave looks like he’s 100 years old
McD and Sauer… what more can ya say?
Matthias – That’s because they’re catering to the basketball fans, because basketball is by far more popular. Hockey is a niche sport.
i am sure not many basketball fans are watching a hockey game on a Sunday afternoon
They have the nerve to drop in commercials between long periods of black screen and no sound – great!
I know Tiki…I was quite often in Montreal or Toronto, there is way different, everybody talks hockey but in NY….
Here in Germany its only soccer which can be so boring at times :)
anyone have a good STREAMING FEED?
>>I wonder if during the Knick games they constantly talk about the Rangers. hah, I’ll bet they don’t
Carp might know the answer.
STREAM HERE: http://atdhe.me/tv/2759/live-tampa-bay-lightning-vs-new-york-rangers
Grrrr… anyone have a WORKING LINK for this game? pretty please?
Its just great those beauty shots over Manhattan especially when its so sunny like today seems to be….:)
No, Linda, but the more you advertise the Knicks, the more hockey fans that can developed into Knicks fans and the more loyalty can be inspired to the brand, and the more money to the Dolans, etc.
It’s only smart to advertise the Rangers during Rangers games and the Rangers during Knicks games.
*Knicks during NYR games
Noonan, Jagr is one of my favorite players ever.
Yes, Tiki, I will be getting Exxtra Innings this year. I miss Gary, Keith and Ron… and the players, too.
LMAO @ Torts slapping himself.
I wonder what his safe word is?
Maybe Sather?
Mike “Celtics fan” Breen talks more on MSG about the Celtics during Knicks broadcasts. Ray Allen this, Paul Pierce that, Kevin Garnett here, Rajon Rondo there. :)
Now a 5 on 3, frustrating.
Boy that was stupid, Boyle
that was a penalty?
D’OH. BB. Bad Boyler, bad. tsk tsk
Breathe in, breathe out!
This is fugged up!
JBytes, there’s too much pumped-in noise during Knicks games to promo anything.
That’s some pansification call on Girardi there. if that’s a penalty … wow.
i thought the same thing carp.. pretty lame call there
I hope my father is improving in the future would enable to return to NY for the first time since 2003…
Good luck to the Mets, Mickey. Maybe they’ll surprise people this year. Or at least take steps in the right direction, without Omar Minaya.
BOO.
God damn it!
No chance…One timer – St. Louis to Vinny
Awwwww carp
damnit
future Ranger Vinny Lecavalier.
Why the hell were Callahan and Dubinsky just standing there watching St. Louis stand there? Either put some pressure on him or get yourself in better position.
LOL @ future Ranger Vinny Lecavalier!!!!
lmao Carp, when will he hit the magic age of 35?
great shot placement but looked like Lundqvist was too worred about the 5hole this time. Shooter knew it. Too many doubts. If it’s not his weak glove side it’s his stick side and he is a mental twitch.
We need a new goalie coach as well. Train him to get out of his crease on clear breakaways.
Start Biron next game and roll him until he loses.
Wow.
Oh COME on…. That’s a garbage call
Jeez, Dubi.
Although that was a cheap call
whata joke. refs handing the game to Tampa
This is one of those games that doesn’t really feel like hockey because the refs are so byfuglien heavy handed. Eff U Bettman for ruining a wonderful sport.
Too bad I was looking forward to watching HOCKEY today. Not this garbage.
wow that is effin lame
Two VERY questionable calls… boarding and interference
This freaking league is a disgrace
STBU about the Knicks!!
that was one of the worst dives i’ve ever seen.
This is absurd. The refs started out fairly with the first 3 power plays to the Rangers, and then havent been fair since.
When I was at the Pitts game on the 13th, I kept yelling “Break the Referees legs” and “Break the referees’ kids legs” even though we were treated fairly. I got warned by security because I was in row A, but it was worth it. A lot of fun to berate referees.
I hope Mama is picking up with the Referee chants today where I left off then!
Great kill.
that had to be the lamest, weakest call ever
By the way, Tiki. All the Knicks adverts during the Rangers games isn’t doing anything but making me want to listen to the Rangers on the radio.
Callahan on the PK=MONSTER
wonders aloud if Cally can play goal too
One of the best parts about sitting close to the ice at hockey games is you can flip off the refs.
that is not intended to be a shot at Hank, just wondering if there is anything Cally can’t do lol
Enjoy Connecticut, Newbury.
Our boys are amateur-houring this one big time.
Callahan on the ice = MONSTER
Zucca toughest guy on the team for about a month now lol
Blue Seat, I mute MSG. I always listen on the radio now…
It would be nice if these guys can do something 5 on 5.
We really have to hope we don’t play these guys in the first round.
LMAO! So true, Lin. He is like a little ball of hate….
Knicks game night… what a night!
They make it sound as if the Knicks such a great franchise and just won 10 straight NBA titles
of course, when Roloson handled the puck in the forbidden zone in the 1st period, he was not given a penalty. but you touch skates and they dive and get the call.
Blue Seat – No offense. I really mean no offense to you or anyone on here. But that comment highlights the disloyalty of many New Yorkers. The Knicks mentions should highlight the opportunity for any Rangers fan to be loyal to New York and cheer another NY team, one owned by the Rangers owner. But as I always say, New Yorkers lack loyalty. :)
its the NEW NHL bb!!
Those good breaks they got the last game are not falling their way this game.
CCCP – No, they’re not doing that at all. They’re just advertising the station’s other team and showing viewers that there’s hope for the NYK future.. It’s smart business.
Fugg the Knicks.
Enough said
It’s frustrating to read the lack of loyalty from the blog’s most respected commenters. Frustrating beyond belief. How disloyal can a New Yorker be? Infuriating, frustrating, disgusting, putrid, horrifying, criminal, etc. LGR! Hope we win! TA!
Tiki
As I said before…
FUGG THE KNICKS
The promos in the arena today, for the terribly overrated, overhyped Carmelo Anthony deal, are nauseating.
This one has that typical “Heritage Jerseys on Sunday Matinee at the Garden 1-goal Bush League Ranger Loss To An Infinitely More Talented Team” written all over it. This is becoming a weekly institution….
WTB! The atdhe feed just switched to Columbus!
Same here.
This game’s pissing me off. Nothing good happening. I can’t even get a fuggin feed.
What is my loyalty to NY got to do with me not liking basketball?
can adthe stream go back to rangers game?
Girardi, completely out of gas, ices the puck and now he has to stay out for a D-zone draw.
All I know is that if the standings stay this way it’s going to be an easy first round for TB come playoff time.
Oh and I have no problems with trading Dubinsky after this one.
You angered me with that comment, Carp. Which was your point. :)
Stick to a sport you actually know, hockey. Overrated, overhyped? To get a top 10 NBA superstar. With the possibility of adding a 3rd superstar at next years trade deadline or after next season. A New York kid coming home to New York. Won a title with Syracuse. I thought reporters liked stories. Ill repeat, stick to a sport you actually know.
Shut up Tiki.
RIP Duke Snider
well lookee that, a penalty on TB.
Cmon, McCabe, show us what ya got
man Wolski has certainly come back down to earth after the last couple games eh?
Oh good here we go. 3rd period PP down 1 goal with a newly acquired 35 year old on the point….what could go wrong?!
Can someone give me a site where I can watch this game?
I’m flipping out!!
CCCP – You dont have to like basketball. I dont like basketball. I despise basketball, but I still cheer the Knicks and hope they win. I dont disloyally say “FUGG them.”
Looked like somebody slashed MCd in the background before
Tiki, do us all a favor and go out for a walk, will ya? Calm down, clear your head, etc.
McCabe does have a good shot from the point and plays it well. Can’t say anything else…
“man Wolski has certainly come back down to earth after the last couple games eh?”
Since 2 games ago when he tied it with less than 2 remaining then won it in the shootout? Yes, I guess.
Orr, I dunno if it’ll work for you, but NHL GameCenter appears to be doing a free preview or something, because I’m watching the game on there…
http://www.nhl.com/ice/gamecenterlive.htm?id=2010020932&navid=sb:watchnow
lol, Carp. Cant handle the truth? Got nothing of actual substance to respond with? I’ll continue to remain respectful, because that’s the type of guy I am. :)
I forgot more basketball just now than you will ever know.
It’s just pain, Prustie. Remember that.
Could have had a breakaway, and a great defensive play cost us.
Prust must hate the off season because he heals
Mickey I’M going to have to remember that when they lose this game and I slam my head against the wall
The free preview ends after a few minutes though.
Pain lets you know you’re alive
Just saw the news on Duke Snider. RIP to a great ballplayer.
James,there will be no head slamming against the wall!!!
Keep lauding yourself, Carp. If you need the self-esteem, then it’s fine by me. You’re awesome, you’re the greatest, you know everything about basketball, you know everything about the English Premier League, you’re omniscient and omnipotent. Feel good?
Terrible news about Duke Snider.
ORR
you are not missing anything
Typical Rangers third period being down one goal game
Desperate but can’t score
Can’t wait to see what Stogiepuss has in store for us tomorrow. TB gets goals from actual TALENTED players. We get a clutch game tieing SHG by an uber-grinder, and that’s it.
But, James, you aren’t Prust. Pain just rolls off him like water off a duck. I’d be worried about you doing that, man.
Tiki don’t be a jackwagon with me, OK?
All this Knicks talk is making me thirsty.
Thirsty for blood!
So it does… my mistake.
Stop baiting Carp, Tiki. It’s just not smart.
lol touche Mickey.
James could be the Prust of the blog
althought i’d prefer if he did not start with the banging the head on the wall thingie
little steps, first kick the wall, then punch the wall,then shoulder the wall
build up to it
Carp, I don’t have any desire to be a jackwagon with you. Really, my desire is to be friendly with you. But you apparently want to be a jackwagon to me.
McCabe has a nice first pass out of the defensive zone. Been noticing it all game. Much better than Wade “best first pass in the game” Redden ever had while here.
McCabe really is strong at the point. Good at keeping the puck in the zone…
grrrrrrrrrrrrr
Keep it up. Keep it up. Just don’t let it go … you’re thiscloseCR.
“and the Rangers will run out of time…”
BUSH. LEAGUE.
Ever notice how Dubinsky, Anismov, etc, in games like this, always produce NOTHING?
SPK
Mickey – Thanks for the advice. I really do appreciate it, but please don’t butt in. Carp baits me on a regular basis, and I bait him as well. It works both ways. He’s the one with the power, though, and can ban me if he chooses. If he does, then so be it.
Dammit!
Another big shot from McCabe…he is noticeable…
I am glad we got McCabe. Reminds me of Karpotsev.
25 more seconds before the team is dismantled guys…savor it.
Carp – That was me trying to extend an olive branch to you. Like I said, Id like to be friendly with you. Does that sound like something you’d be interested in?
pardon me sam
where the heck is DOODIE???
wow what a pile up!! sorry i’m always behind you guys lol
Dammit
I hate Prospal out there.
not at this point, no.
What a waste of game. 6-0 win, then 2-1 loss. 7-0 win the 3-2 loss. No consistency, no nothing. Didnt wake up until Prust’s shortie.
Tim
I think you’re pushing it with this loyalty shit… You don’t know me…you don’t know people on this blog and where they come from…you need to re-evaluate yourself and what you bring to this blog…lately you’ve been nothing but pain in the ass
Take a break
lmao, i am glad i have tomorrow off.
NO DISMANTLING JAMES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
and don’t you say it! YOU KNOW I MEAN BIDNIZ!!
You know Dolan is gonna make Sather pony up the farm for Brad Richards after this one… ugh please don’t let tomorrow be painful…
I liked his debut. He’s not fast but he’s a smart veteran. Held his own in the defensive end and was a breath of fresh air on the PP even though they didn’t put one in. Now onto the deadline.
Pathetic game.
Swept by the Bolts, and this could be the team we verse in the first round.
Horrible! Now you know Slats will go out and look for a big name.
Never really had a chance in this game. TB looked really good. Rangers looked slow and with their normal jump and aggression.
Gotta hope the ones behind them all lose, and the Darth doesn’t do anything insanely stupid before 3 tomorrow.
For the record, I don’t like any New York teams :P
Aside from NYR, of course.
I’m not into that loyalty sh*t. In fact, had I not watched a Rangers game first, I’d probably end up a Red Wings fan.
holy carp no game until thursday??? that can’t be right lol
they play better on the road.
slats isnt getting richarsd. come on guys its one game. were missing gabby and staal. and feds. look at the roster. no top line players on it right now. all 2nd and 3rd. do u think just cuz of this game, its gonna make slats go desperate? come on. maybe if they traded anisimov id be ok with it. he is softer than butter and ec too
oh wel…...exciting game…...bolts goalie played well in the 3rd…
the next 23 1/2 hours are going to be something else lol
yep the bolts dominated….........what are you smoking fool. nice boarding on girardi. the crack announcers maybe show me the boarding that was not a boarding unless checking is illegal now in the nhlk.
boyle just f-d up on the delay of game had all day.
nivce randy jones flop on the dubinsky no penalty penalty. and of course they could not generate enough offense to get the tiebreaker…......
let’s talk about the defense for about 4 days.. they have the5th best d in the NHL.
forward, that is there problem. dubi should have scored early in the game on the open net and the inept offense did there thing.
another game they should have gotten points….......
of course everyone seems to forget that Tampa Bay is 2nd in the East and are probably the most dangerous offensive team in the NHL. Yea they lost but usually the team with the better record wins…
Knowing the fools in charge, we will get Richards by tomorrow and grossly overpay for him.
ranger record against mtl, tampa, and philly is 0 for 11… multi 1 goal losses…......
We need a gamebreaker. I just hope we get the right one. Brad Richards would be a mistake for this organization because of the contract he will command. He is a rental, not matter how you slice it, he needs to sign a contract in July. Sather doesn’t need to do anything tomorrow. We have time in offseason to make more trades/acquisitions. I know he’s very good at trades but we shouldn’t be outbidding another team for Brad Richards. Doesn’t make sense long term…
PS: I was pleasantly surprised with McCabe. He did what he was brought here to do today…
CCCP – I bring nothing to this blog but a desire to inspire loyalty to New York and against another specific state. And a love of animals, even Boston Terriers.
Next game is Tuesday on Versus.
Could not get a break today. Bouncing puck ends up over the glass, horrendous officiating, and all the bounces went against ‘em today. Gotta forget it.
And I don’t think the Carmelo promos are that bad. The nauseatingly bad Miller Lite commercials are FAR more annoying. (Why are those bartenders so unnecessarily mean to the guys?)
i didnt even watch the game cuz i knew the outcome. ok i watched the first 3/4 of teh 1st period. that was enough for me. yes, it was a waste of 15 minutes for me. we rae lucky to be in the playoffs at this point with this roster and with all teh injuries. plus the underperforming gaborik and drury when he was back in. you take drurys usual 20-25 goals and gabbys 35-40, and we are in great shape right now. slats knows this. so far he hasnt made one bad move for almost 2 years now.
McCabe kept a lot of pucks in the zone….great trade
Avery with 4 minutes while Prospal with 18
Was Prospal effective at all?
Thanks Noah
Shor, i think it just goes along with the way society/the media is trying to make men into buffoons.
one thing is for sure. there will be some deal of some kind tomorrow. no way does Sather resist the urge to at least tinker, even if the big deal for R does not materialize.
i think WoWo played about 2 minutes in the third
i applaud NYR’s post
CR9, you need to slow your role there champ….lol
not to leave out stuarts post either
no, I think Prospal is getting too much ice in key situations like PP etc before he has really earned it this season.
as i posted earlier the girardi boarding was not 1.
our crack announcers have zero eyes…..............
the nhl officiating sucks, way to affect a game when not required.
grabachev your a dope…......
wolski sucks. he got a lucky goal in the carolina game. not even his shot. it was a pass. hes gone soon i hope. was he good in this game? cuz of what i saw he sucke. onb the pp and in general
stuart, that call and the one on dubi a short time later, were extremely weak
Linda, I’m counting on you to text me with any big trade news. I’ll be at work all day and not able to be on the blog for the madness and only able to check twitter occassionally.
On that note, I’m outta here. Gotta hit the grocery store and do other stuff.
if the rangers could pretend that BEFORE the game starts, they are late in the 3rd, down by a goal, they could go 82-0-0…..they really need to be desparate in the 1st period…
you got it Mickey! i texted you last night!!!!!! lmao
of course they were weak calls but ny announcers are not allowed to be homers like other teams announcers..
the girardi call I stated an hour ago was not a penalty then boyle with the total f up….......
this team cannot score in tight games, they are a good team.
how many points stolen from the rangers this year? more then the rangers have stolen by far…....
I wonder if Wolski is still on the team past tomorrow…
Wolski may be packing again tomorrow
rangers outplayed the lightning.
i like mcdonagh but why is he getting a lot more time then sauer????????
sauer makes allmost no mistakes on defense….......
AA has to get stronger on the puck, so many near misses for him…......
i’d say between 14 and 18 points
i must have missed your earlier post.
Wolski would fit better on a team like the CHI Hawks, where the puck possession fancy game is more their style
Anyone know why Avery only played four minutes?
i trade wolski for a long term upgrade. you do not trade 25 yr old guys with skill for a rental only if you are a moron like some of the posters on thsi site. wolski turned25 less then 30 days ago….......
rangers goal differential is better then tampa’s, tampa is not as good as there record mark my word….......
hope so. how many years left for wolski? i know hes makin over 3 mill.
stuart- shut up
a lot of the game was pp and pk, thus Aves got little ice time. he is not on those units
avery only played 4 minutes because it was a tight game, he has almost no offensive skills, is a turnover machine and is not a real good player.
notice that avery and prospal never look to the opposite side when they have the puck they never turn and see if anything is open.
on the PP prospal at the 1/2 board only looks to the point, only looks straight ahead if he has absolutely no other opttion.
own zone from the professors. tampa had 15 + turnovers in there own zone….............
who said anything about trading wolski for a rental? and u keep talking shit about people here., lil angry?
wolski grabachev(dope) has 1 year left on his deal….......
if it was up to the likes of grabachev, he would trade about 12 guys for old overpaid junk…...
He has one year left after this season.
I don’t think trading him is that great of an idea, personally.
Another tough loss where NYR stepped up against a more skilled team and really challenged them. YOu know what? Im going to keep saying it:
As long as they play to win, with passion and heart, and loose due to not having the 2-3 top end players, I say, ok – lets keep groing, learning and being patient.
We have to practice what we preach – stay the course. The “win now”-attitude has destroyed this team before.
This is a good, young team, that excites the hell out of me. I love the way they play, the offensive, hardworking style. It’s ok if win don’t win the cup or conference this year or next. I want the Rangers to become a team that stays on top of the Atlantic for years. STAY the Course, keep the faith.,
Stewie, I wouldn’t call anyone a dope, seeing as how you once said “Erskine has a great shot”
I mean, really.
didnt i just say that sather shouldnt tarde for richards now. hes not giving up too much for richards. wtf are u talkin about. stuart(asshole)
grabachev i rip you becasue you are an idiot. negative all the time.
the rangers are young and on the rise.. have had a ton of injuries and they compete every night….....
they need stepan, aa, dubi, cally, etc to score more….......
no offensive skills? he is 3rd on the team in assists, has one less helper than the suppposedly great gaborik.
Stuart, Avery is one of the best passers on this team.
I wish these MSGHeads would stop talking up Tampa Bay as if it’s already crowned Stanley Cup champions. I’m far more disappointed with the Rangers’ lack of offensive punch than with Lightening’s awesomeness.
stuart- i never even knew u existed on this board my man. u dont know me so please stop with name calling.
McDonagh got more icetime b/c Sauer is a RD so pairing him Girardi makes no sense.
stuarts another know it all guys. dont bother
yep i will take you at your word that i said erskine had a great shot. if that is the dumbest post I have had here i am einstein compared to many of the fight loving, no clue, trade them all crowd that posts here on a daily basis. you know the under 30 avery is great watch this you tube fight basement dwellers…........
guys. calm down with the personal insults. as stated earlier, carp is on a banning rampage!!
disagree constructively w/o the name calling please.dont want to see either of you guys banned.
Alex, you are right on. This is a team to be proud of. Something that has not been the case for years!
grabachev for a fool who only watched the first period what the hell are you posting about something you did not see.
oleasmirf thanks for the clarification on sauer and less time then mcdonagh. bottom line they are both real good young players. maybe some of the shrewd talent evaluators on this site want to trade them for chris neal or some other thug avg player so they can see more fights!!!!!!!!!!
yea….....
the only trades that make sense are ones that bring in controllable young star players. The Rangers don’t need to do anything else.
Linda who got banned? I missed it.
Jessiman NHL debut tonight!
>>...he is 3rd on the team in assists
That could be misleading, you know? I still don’t understand why players get credited with secondary assists.
Why would Dolan want Richards at the expense of valuable futures and a possible Cup? All owners in sports want to be the kingpin. You mean to say that Dolan would rather make the playoffs the next three years than miss the playoffs this year, which probably won’t happen, anyway, and win the Cup down the road? I find that hard to believe. If I’m Dolan I am telling my GM not to screw up our outstanding youth nucleus for an old guy, or for a concussed guy, or for an overpaid guy, and definitely not for a “rental” in what is obviously not a Cup year for the Rangers. Didn’t we go down that path with Gaborik? Did we win the Cup in Gaborik’s productive year? Did we even get close? Now look at the damn mess we have on our hands with the softest, most brittle player in the league. Can we please learn something as regards trying to win the Cup via taking shortcuts?
This team needs more young potent bodies, period. It just is not ready to win it all. So why mortgage that chance for a little extra P.R. in the morning papers? We are competing with NHL teams, not with the Knicks. Let the Knicks have the headlines, just let us keep bringing it together toward that Cup championship, or is it worth breaking up the young core to pick up an extra 3 or 4 regular season points. It is discouraging to have to lobby for this organization to just get its priorities straight when it gets going every morning.
The “Erskine has a great shot” post was nearly as moronic as Salty saying the Pens couldn’t win the Cup without Dupuis.
I think yours was dumber because I got over it rather quicky, whereas Salty Dupuis’ post gives me a never ending chuckle.
stu u are one angry guy. calm down man. jeez. i never have any problems here with anybody. but you call people names. not nice sir. im not always negative either. half of my”negative”comments are made sarcastically or just venting after a loss.
CCCP – I bring nothing to this blog but a desire to inspire loyalty to New York and against another specific state. And a love of animals, even Boston Terriers.————————————————————————————-
Sorry Tiki, last I checked this was the RANGERS Report Blog, not the New York Sports report blog. NFL sucks. NBA sucks. MLB sucks. Bunch a whiney rich criminals.
Shor, there was a jerk posting under a bunch of different names last night. I think Carp is taking out the trash today…
stu- i only remarked from what i did see. i said” from what i saw, wolski was pretty bad”. that was it!!!
JB, I’m with you on that.
Why not hand out three assists. Or an assist for every guy on the ice aside from the goal scorer?
Doesn’t make sense.
Avery is third in assists, despite not playing the power play and getting very limited ice team. The guy forechecks hard, controls the puck, and sees the ice well.
“NFL sucks. NBA sucks. MLB sucks. Bunch a whiney rich criminals”
Don’t forget Golf, Nascar, Bowling, & Poker.
i am not sure Shor. was not here last night but it seems Carp was very unhappy with whatever was going on.
and guys look at it this way
the team is in much better position than last year. We have so many young guys on the team, cutting their teeth and getting valuable experience. We have Sauer and McD on d in place of Redden and Roszi. We have a very skilled MZA, Stepan has been excellent, and Cally and Dubi are progressing. AA needs about 10 more pounds of muscle. How can we be bitching when we’ve all said we’ll go with the growing pains?! This team is giving us something to look forward to, and if slats doesnt trade for a guy with a concussion he can have for just money come July 1 i’d say we’re in pretty decent position.
Let me ask you guys…What are the chances Richards would sign a friendly 2 year contract for like $12 million? To me, that would be worth trading for…I highly doubt it…
Right now, is he even in the conversation as far as being a Hall of Famer? I’m not sure he is…
Most of his assists came early in the season.
He’s been pretty useless for a long time.
At this point, I only want him on the team, so he can bring Sports Illustrated Model babes at the game.
yea, I agree, keep developing the youth and do not trade for richards.
I can’t see him signing a short term deal.
I don’t know if he has a family or not, but that can factor into his decision.
Can you imagine, we give up a sh*t load of players/prospects and/or picks, and he goes and re-signs with the Stars.
I’d poison him.
lmao ORR!!!
An now, heeeeere’s The Old Tortorella!
haha jbytes, whats he saying?
Torts will be fined for that remark
someone please tell me what torts is saying! everyone is teasing me with ‘he’s pissed’ ‘he got bleeped’ i need detials lol
has to be the bogus calls on Girardi and Dubi
Not that I want him to be fined or suspended
What did Torts say?
“the league needs to stay out of it & let the players decide the outcome of the game”
im guessing its not repeatable here
Lots of bleeps also can’t wait for Carp’s post game posts
Lin, he started stared it off by calling the penaltly on Girardi a “horse-carcillo” call…lol
>>...whats he saying?
Let’s just say, Carp would probably ban him if he used those same words here.
I’ve been saying this on this blog for a long time. I know some people do believe it but the rangers get screwed by the refereeing in this league almost every game. It’s about time Torts complains about it. I’m sure he thinks it is worth the fines. The funny thing about today’s game is after the first period was over the cameras focused on the tampa bay lighting coach talking to the head referee. When I saw that I knew the rangers were screwed.
guess they wont have it on nyr.com then
LMAO at Jim Cerny:
JimCerny
back in press box after #NYR locker room and Torts’ post-game press conference…angriest I have seen him all season…
Carp will have the write up. That’s why he is the best…
lmao grabby, i was just thinking that
No matter what happened with penalties you can’t win many games scoring 1 goal.
Watching this team’s offense is frustrating. How many times do you see a guy carry the puck across the line? 80% of the time they’re dumping it in. They keep dumping the puck into the corners and behind the net in the offensive zone instead of going toward the goal. Your chances of scoring from behind the net are pretty slim, even though Frolov seemed to think that was an ideal place. Get shots on net and go to the freakin’ goal. Don’t pass the puck back around the opponents net all game. Sheesh!
So is Carp going to ban Torts from his own post game pressers?
i cant wait for it NYR!! the quotes are going to be filled with *’s and %s and carcillos and cookes!
First off Richards is not a rental. If the Rangers trade for him obviously it means the Rangers are going to resign him. Now they might overpay but this idea of him being a rental is not true. I personally do not want to trade for him simply b/c I don’t like the idea of trading prospects for someone that we can have just as easily in July.
The idea that the Rangers can’t trade any prospects is ridiculous. Its impossible for every single prospect to become an impact player and its also impossible for a team to have rookies consistantly crack the lineup each year. The idea is to collect prospects and when you have multiple in one area (like we do at defense and LW) you can afford to package young players and picks for important pieces.
>>someone please tell me what torts is saying! everyone is teasing me with ‘he’s pissed’ ‘he got
>>bleeped’
LinCPB, he’s used the profane version of “male bovine feces” to refer to some of the penalty calls.
[Gee, I think that’s closest I’ve ever come to being vulgar in public.]
lmao BANJ!!
Charlie, good post
lmao thanks JB!! yup, carps posts will be filled with carcillos and cookes for the young ones eyes :-)
Fugg! Someone better youtube that presser.
Carp, I listened right now to the press conference of Tortorella and I have to say it is just unprofessional..I understand that he is frustrated after such a loss but you have to behave different in front of the press.. I once in a while regret you guys from the press with that kind of coach..As good as he mabe is as coach you have to respect the audience as well as the fans want to have some information..
But we have to deal with the same problem over here in Munich with the coch Louis van Gaal..he is the same than Torts, its seems he´s hating the press and the public and after a such dissapointing performance like the one in the top match up aginst Dortmund, he doesnt like to give even any interview to the press..
But as I said even as a good coach you need to be a good communicator and you guys sitting probably in the same boat trying to sell the sport…!!!
yes, I do agree that most of the time when the rangers lose it’s because they do not have any top end talent like the top teams in the nhl. This is why they dump the puck and work along the boards. They don’t have guys with talent enough to stick handle there way in to the opposing teams zone or to pass the puck to get into the opposing teams zone.
oleo, do you think he signs before July?
new post.
This is not directed at anyone, just an observation. I love how people aren’t so much upset with today’s Rangers poor play and referee induced loss as they are thrilled with getting to read and/or hear Torts’ anger in his press conference. Gotta love the disloyalty and lack of care for the team! :)
Torts using a plethora of adjectives referring to lots of bovine excrement and equine excrement
I had this game as a loss. March 1st I have the game going to ot or shootout. Hope we can push the sabres down if not I hope we get at least a point.
We have never been totally outside a game, a could have gotten away, but just becuase we dont have top end tal3t doesn’t mean we.couldn’t have won those games. Most of the gamea we play, we are in and if and when we make the playoffs, this team will do well. We should be a good tournament team. That being said, the refs did kind of screw us but we need to find a way to capitalize on the pp and get second third fourth fifth goals. We could have won tonight. But I do know when we skate tuesday. we will get a good game and hopefully take 2 pnts with it.
WW and Gilly for Richards rental. ww is a less talented grachev and gilly is rfa. Not getting rid of parts of core.
Need someone to control, carry, and create. Artie and stepan are not there yet.
We need to settle down, make crisp passes, and move the puck. It would be nice to have somepne that can do the moving.with the puck, but for now, we need to understand that the puck movrs faster than our legs.
Why did we lose tonight? They had better passing. End of story.
Well this was my first game at MSG. I’m a friend of Fozzy’s and got to meet a few great boneheads today. I must admit that I am a Flyers fan from Philly , but came today in honor of Mr. Fozzy. Even though the Rangers lost today, it was a great experience seeing a game outside of Philly. Had a great day! Thank you NY :)
