Better late than never.
As you know by now, Lundqvist is expected to start against Marc-Andre Fleury. Rest of the lineup remains the same.
That means Avery is prucha’d. There’s some intrigue about what’s wrong with Marc Staal. He didn’t skate yesterday and was a surprise scratch today, but nobody’s saying why, apparently.
Edzo!

GO!
Mandlebaum
Phew… there we go. First. Let’s go Rangers!!!!
Let’s get two points, boys!
You think you’re better than ME?
>>You think you’re better than ME?
Nobody is perfect; I’m nobody.
I’m in favour of Liam McHugh lending his broken mic to Milbury for the rest of the day.
You gotta want it…
2 points – gotta have them
LGR !
a big 2 points today,and also wouldnt mind a donut crumbling a cookie!
{{{IZZY}}} {{{JB}}}
LETS GO RANGERS!!!!!!!!!!!
Seems too early for NYR hockey.
Baker’s Dozenth!
lol Tony, cutting into church time?
can someone PLEASE protect Hank today?
Gotta watch Kovalev as he’s a well known Rangers killer
It’s official
No Staal
Rough start. Agreed. Protect Hank. At all costs.
aw crap {{{C3}}}, i forgot about him!!!
JRG, that’s 2 Edzo’s already!
Take the crowd out of it early and keep them out.
Cally looked hurt on the bench
Oops. Didn’t know Staal was scratched. Scrambling here trying to find a TV.
Wonder what Cindy Crosby is up to today?
FINALLY , GO TIMEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!! Hi Linda!!! GO RANGERSSS!!!!!
Linda!!!
{{{GREGGIE}}}
hiya C3 lol
McMonster – that is how you take the man out of the play. Gotta love the “back to the puck” defense there.
HI LIN!!!!!!!
McD showing some toughness there
>>Gotta watch Kovalev as he’s a well known Rangers killer
Every team seems to have a Rangers killer. Do we have any team killers on our squad?
HIYA CARPY!!!!!!!
gonna see a ZUCCA goal today!!
Let’s go Rangers!
nice save by Hank
Looks like a “let ‘em play” precedent may have been set with that non call on McD for interference.
Hank’s Eyes are OK at least.
Who’s keeping tab on the number of “Driiiive”?
I cringe with every shot from the point!
love how Hank has been gobbling up the puck lately… good times!!
Still makes me nervous as hell when he looks behind himself,but he’s really been eating the puck up lately.
lmao he almost said NBsqueeze
What is this player ice time crap!? So distracting.
I think I counted 5 “Edzo’s” and we are 6 minutes in!
lmao DCloutier, just mentioned that on FB! HILARIOUS! there were 3 in the first 1:45
Lmfao! Unbelievable!
Kovalev, Rupp, and Orr’s favorite player Dupuis! This could be a calamity!
Anybody got the news on Staal? It must completely ruin half of the talking topics for NBC that he is not in the game.
HEY DOODIE!!
when do we get our first crosby update??
Good point doodie. It’s some thing like that old SNL sketch with Will Farrell and David Alan Grier when the teleprompter breaks and they panic and end up eating each other.
“Keep it away from the poor people….they…have….swords?”
Nice intensity so far. The Rangers are starting to match.
USA USA USA Lets Go Rangers!
Lin, right now, apparently.
BAZING!!! there we go!!!
CROSBY UPDATE!!!
here it is
No Stahl vs. Staal?! BOOO
Crosbyless and Malkinless Penguins need to be seal beaten!!! ( Not the seal clubbing is right)
Oh, good. I feel better now. Crosby is alive.
There’s your update, LinCPBZ.
it’s not an official game until we have our crosby update
Cindy on the ice all alone…..Sad Keanu style.
if his lips get any bigger, they are gonna swallow his head
Im excited for Sidney. I knew the Pens would rehab him for the playoffs and not give away a year.
Just woke up.
Is Avery playing?
Is LQ playing?
So we learned that an injured player is still injured. Fascinating.
what the hell is going on with the lines today??
Callahan and Gaborik switch? Why?
{{{Linda!}}}
Sauer was bench pressing on Cooke…
LW, you sounded “SPOCK-like” there
morning gang
Boys looks a little behind the play today.
Even with a concussion, Crosby has a less vacant look on his face than Keanu.
Hi Linda :)
Mixing it up early….? Doesn’t seem like something particularly wasn’t working.
Now Gaborik with Stepan and Wolski. Odd.
wended??? is that a real word???
Tiki, read the actual post by Carp and you will have your answers.
It’s true. A bit off topic but if you read Keanu’s wikipedia you will know why. Dude has had the saddest life ever (Aside from the fame).
Cooke wearing the A for aasen?
LOL Doodie!
spider, we need a freakin scorecard for the lines today… odd odd odd
HIYA MICKEY!! Hi Tiki
AA!
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO AA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ARTIE!!!!!!!!!!! WOOOOOOO!!! Beautiful play in the zone!!
ARTIE PARTY!
ARTEM!!!!!!
what a shift!
AA baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAHHHHHHHHHHHHH AA BABY
Trade AA. How about that line dominating?
What a goal?!!! What work?!! 1-nil!
Awesome, awesome goal. Great to see Artem getting on a roll.
AA AAAA AAAA AAAA AYYYY this guy is wonderfully fantastic!!!!
lmao @ Machedzo!!
YEAHH BABBY!!!! Lets go RANGERS!! ARTIE!!
I dont often read the posts, Doodie, but I got my answers. Thanks again for being a bouche! :)
Good. No Avery!! And LQ is okay!
AA! WOOHOOO! Nice pass by Captain Callahan.
artie party?? LOL Someone watches food network ;-)
My Thought’s exactly N.Country
Hi Linda!
I totally forgot that Kovalev was back with the Crosbys. LOL
{{{CTB}}}
lmao ‘the crosbys’ i did too until C3 brought it up
The goal play almost worked again.
Pens have no answer for that line.
Hi Linda!
CT and Mickey, i had a nightmare the other night that Dolan bought the Mets lol
LETS GO RANGERS!! Get another goalskizo
HAHA. GREAT city…..right..have they been to NYC?
gaby double shifting
I think NBC feels if they mention Crosby’s name 10 times it will count as a goal for Pens
Barf
Darn
crapzo
F*** me.
How this letargy happend?????
aww, damn
Lundqvist is so good at shootouts, but so bad at breakaways.
Pittsburgh Staal Tactics…
lmao Ilbzolanza, it seemed to work there damnit
oh Girardi without Staal – exposed.
Bad change, Girardi was out of position
so beyond annoying how Emrick yells 25 times louder when Pens score than when Arty scored. talk about bias…
Girardi sucks.
So much for the underrated Dan Girardi…
wow, what a shock, giraidi out of position for the goal.
Goalie interference anyone?
Talbot just put a crosshairs on his back!
There’s Captain Callahan defending Hank!
lmao @ Cally with his wrestling move on that asshat taebo
They’re still running Lundqvist I see….
How come the wonderful announcer didn’t scream when we scored??? Oh, excuse me, what was I thinking????
Don’t get too excited Pierre about a Penguin goal!
Love that take down from Callahan. yeah baby!
How is that a Pens PP?
You’ve got to be kidding me!!
I thought the penalty was on them…..
That’s what we get for defending our goalie.
He didn’t even attempt to catch Staal after he made a bonehead play and decided to get out of position.
BS call
out of position,,,,,,on his freakin stomach
and cally gets a penalty but NO GOALIE INTERFERENCE?
I guess it’s time to run Fleury?
that was a bullsh** penalty. of course, its roughing when the guy takes advantage of our half injured goalie.
There seems to always be some sketchy calls against us in this building.
why is girardi practicing his slide into 2nd….....dude is always on his stomach…grrrr
yes you call that trip you beyatch
How come the centers on my fantasy roster can’t score? Forget AA and EC, I need Dubinsky, Stepan, and Boyle! (and Kovalev)
Where’s Zucca?
That’s a trip on them, Emrick. Nice try, hueso!
Power Play. We need to pot this right away.
Cooke goes in cooke hole
Because blocked shots is highly overrated stat.
How in the world did Cooke weasel his way out of that?
It actually might have been not Cooke because a stick came in from outside the picture. Announcers know nothing.
i agree CT.. play the man once in a while Girardi
Are you serious? They send someone else to the box?? I guess cookes word is stronger than zebra’s…disgrace
is there a stat of how many goals are scored right after a ‘blocked shot’? sheesh
Emrick almost wet himself on Staal’s goal…....isn’t he paid by MSG for Debbie’s games?
Linda, did you say asshat?
I hate Pittsburgh. All because they get away with so much carcillo it’s insane. Grrrr.
i want to say about 10 curse words in a row right now regarding my feelings about the refs and the Penguins and Cooke, but i will restrain myself, all because of my respect for the blog and my fear of Carp.
>>Emrick almost wet himself on Staal’s goal
Who’s to say he didn’t?
i think i did earlier Carp! i need to get you something with that inscribed on it lol
JB. he’s got his depends on
hahahahahaha!
dubi wins so many puck battles it is insane…..
nhl refs are the worst in all of sports. It’s a definite that the rangers will get called for goalie interference if they tap fluery or if they hold a guy up after dumping the puck in or interference when checked before reaching the puck, same old garbage.
Ear rape alert!!! Ear rape alert!!! Mute ur TV now!!!
Surprise surprise…Milbury agrees with the no goaltender interference call
lmfao C3!!!
Maybe Girardi isn’t that bad. Staal definitely makes him look better because Marc Staal takes the MAN so Girardi can do his sliding and trying to take away the pass and guessing what’s going to happen. But it’s unacceptable when he’s paired with Emminger.
Alright…...let’s kiss Kris’s butt….coming up next. Should be insightful!
PENGUINS suck!!!!
Mike and Pierre could be beat in tic-tac-toe by a can of Spam. I hope that locusts swarm upon their houses while they sleep.
That sums it up, Greg….
Joe Beninati’s voice keeps coming around to give me daymares.
lmao can of spam
I wouldn’t have minded a blocked shot by our forward here. Instead of getting small.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d2aO0RlJRYY
lmao two most intelligent people and they are not TPCH or asshatbury
OMG!!!! LINDA!!!!!!! WHAT??????????? We are truly blessed today!!!!!!!!!!!
Can’t get enough of these AMAZING Penguins…how about you Doc and Edzo?
I think that Peggy would be superior to both Mike and Pierre..
Woke up exactly at 12:36! Perfect timing!
Couldn’t muster up the energy to type though. But, now I’m really awake after that stupid Pens goal.
Take Emminger off the top line please!
lol thanks mao, very sweet
ilbzolanza peggy heheh
OK, Sauer and McD need to start knocking pen()s heads in when they are near hank
Carp do you have a facebook group for all us boneheads?
Mike and Pierre are like diarrhea….tough to stomach but glad when it’s done.
lmfao RIX!! hilarious
Girardi and Eminger have been horrid together. I get that they have never played together before, but egads, every shift has been a bad adventure with those two.
Back in the day….Eddie Giacomin got run and Curt Bennett beat the balls off the guy…no problems after that. Run Hank should=BEATING
Girardi sucks.
McCabe will have to play more minutes today. He needs to be physical
Mingler isn’t much better.
Stepan’s been very quite lately
Here we go…Second Period…not usually our best.
I like NOTHING about the Pens, Pierre
Eminger, stupid iPad correct.
Team is much better with McCabe.
Now we’re tracking Staal’s ice time…..WTB
Looks like we have the same first period hangover heading into the second.
NBC is too cheap to have two star cams nowadays. Only one per period so they have to switch between stars.
EC-Gab-Prospal is a nightmare on D.
Girardi should wear his skates on his knees instead.
how many mistakes is a crew allowed to make, sheesh
lmao JB!!!!
The guy next to Kemba Walker’s mom last night was wearing a Rangers hat.
Therefore, go UCONN.
Also, I flipped over to CNN and they showed a clip of some Libyan rebels driving around in a the back of a pickup truck and one of them was also wearing a Rangers cap.
Therefore, go Libyan rebels.
What did EC do? He has less than 3 min of ice all game?
Back to having all 3 forwards behind the net again.
Why are they sooooooooo slow and lagging in the Second!?
hope the next 13 minutes goes fast and with no pen()s goals scored lol
Too many Pens rushies. Compaired to SloMo-MoFo Girardi, even McCabe looks like Pavel Bure today.
Last two shifts showed promise.
Pretty sure Colonel Gaddafi is a Penguins season-ticket holder too.
Can they play the Dubi-AA-Cally line most of the rest of the game?
Ok – Am I wrong that this red-headed kid in the Pizza Hut commercials is the older brother from “Pete and Pete.”
With you CT. I wish this was like NHL ‘94 where you could turn line changes off and the players just never get tired.
Mingler
intransitive verb
to be or become mixed, blended, etc.
to join, unite, associate, or take part with others
http://www.yourdictionary.com/mingler
they couldnt think of a better word that “SQUIRT” especially in regards to the pen()s ???
C3, doc will start using that word fortwith lol
No inappropriate jokes using the word “squirt”!
Name that “squirt” sounds kind of inappropriate…at least in my mind it :)
Have they done “Name That Pig-Nosed Squirt” yet?
Use mingler in a sentence CCCP.
How many shifts has EC had?
That mingler is a real squirt.
funny how MANBEARPIG was on South Park last night
speared, finessed, knifed…
“Girardi should wear his skates on his knees instead.”
Maybe we can sign Dorf to play D.
Road games, defense first, safe=death and all other bumper stickers means nothing when car is in a garage. C’mon Rangers, change gears, go faster!!
Squirtle should be what they use to describe Pens players
Dorf on Hockey!!!!
How about:
CCCP is often found to be a mingler at three-planting ceremonies.
LMFAO Squirtle!!!!!!!
allowing too many odd man rushes
penis mcguire is the epitome of a squirt!
um, EC, PLEASE keep your head up.
Look up “a minger” in Urban Dictionary, CCCP. A nice British term.
Please put Feds or someone that knows D on that line.
three planting ceremonies heehee
OK ENOUGH MESSIN AROUND>.. GET A GOALSKIZO damnit!
Chinese people and Asians are minglers in that they unite to get Yao Ming into the All Star Game each year. :)
I bet $100 that Emrick screeches “He squirtles one!” when a player makes a routine 5-foot pass at some point in this game.
CT
Girardi is a new breed of NHL defensman called a “mingler”
You know, McCabe IS good…and I love Fedotenko- unsung hero.
Yao Mingler??
Tiki that was incredibly stupid STFU.
McCabe is good. Feds is a veteran any team would be lucky to have for the stretch run and playoffs.
gonyr, there’s a facebook page right on the right side of this page—>
also, Linda I’m sure could tell you about the Boneheads page.
This defense is horrible! Every man looks like a merry-go-round just looking around.
a THREE planting ceremony? LMAO
Agreed. I LOVE Fedotenko. The team played horribly in his absence and although it took a while they are getting back on track with him. He is the Keystone.
LMAO @ Yao Mingler!
Yao Mingler is hilarious.
“What a squirt that Yao Mingler is.”
Gaddaffi Duck?
I love the way they all unite for their heroes! Yao (China) Ichiro, Hideki (Japan) Their mingling warms my heart.
Rangers are not generating any offence this period.
Tiki, try to think before you post
Yet another odd-man rush.
CT
that was good…tree planting lol
minger
a male or female who fell out of the ugly tree at birth and hit every branch on the way down
Urban dictionary
why is he saying ZUCCARELLA???????/
This period cannot end quickly enough.
The Mario mosaic looks much better from an inch away.
of course
Rangers just hanging, nerverackingly…
He tripped over a sliding player how is that a penalty?
Absolutely horrible tripping call there.
BS call!
More BS calls.
loondqvist?? really???? guys been in the league six freakin years and you can’t say his name right???
Getting dangerous. Got to kill this one. Wasn’t a penalty, btw
How is it a penalty? Sauer stopped the puck!
WHAT A BS PENALTY!!!!
its the magic of pen()Ss
ilb – huh???
Prust should have shot that.
It’s really great to see these guys protect Lundqvist so well.
yep with boyle driving to the net
Totally ORR!! Prust has the magic touch Short-Handed. He should have ripped it. Boyle was in good position for a rebound.
THIRTY SECONDS!!!! lol
Just need one strong 3rd period for 2 more points!
thank god that nightmare of a period is over
So, the third period it is. Here we go! Where is my beer?
Linda
In defence of McGuire (shocked face), pretty sure he says Lundqvist’s name a lot closer to how it should be pronounced than most, who just settle for Lungfist or Lunkwist.
Don’t touch that dial…Pierre will update us on the Caps and the Great Ape
lol you said it mickey!!!
gotta have that typical strong 3rd period!! So glad we got out of the nightmare 2nd with the score the same.
Is your beer-on the house?
LW, it was the LOON that sounded weird. i dont think i’ve ever heard it that way before lol
the sauer penalty was not a penalty.
cindy’s getting more calls. 1st of all sauer hit the puck with his body first, second of all he did not trip him… he has the right to the ice also.
pens get the puck out of there zone a lot easier then the rangers do.
need at least 1 point today…
charlie sheen style? you mean syphllitic?
Washington and UNC going down to the wire on CBS. C’mon Washington!
Caps as favorites? Now I’m convinced these guys don’t know carcillo about the league.
I have one speed. GO!
YAO Minger? You should be talking about E-minger!
CT, the verbal diarrhea that flows from their pieholes is amazing
Yeah, Craps have been good the last few years, but can’t get past the second round. Not exactly favorites.
Go Ducks! If they beat the Flames tonight, that would be huuuge! Go Preds too.
We’re 7th in the league in defense?? Wow, if we get scoring, we do have a shot to shock some teams in the playoffs (if we get there).
Carp, I feel the need to put this out there. I cant help others’ bias against me, but I assure you there was no racism in my comment. I have no toleration for racism. My statement meant I love the unity of Japan and China in the support of their heroes. Ill leave it at that.
LMAO @ Yao Minger! Ive always called him the Minger! ♥ the Minger!
Mickey, did you ever find GS cookies??
Staal is missed. Girardi looks lost. Good thing the forwards are helping down low a lot. That’s why their breakouts don’t look too fluid.
So we are lucky enough to hear about Pen()s
Piere McTool couldn’t wait to talk about them
its sad that after all this time, Girardi can’t stand on his own… or play the man. Seeing him sprawled on his side, like he’s posing for PLaygirl, is getting old!! grrr
now watch him score the freakin game winner!
Did someone say cookies? I can almost smell them in my house….
lmao you keep dreamin about that Ilbzolanza!!!
GS cookies? Goldman Sach’s? Damn, those guys really do it all!
next crappy weather saturday we have down here will be baking day! Got a tax refund so i can maybe send some of you guys lil packages lol
mao, they got their greedy lil hands in EVERYTHING these days lol
Nope, Linday. Sadly, I haven’t :(
why does it appear this team plays horrible in the second periods of these games lately.
my friend is still taking orders if your interested… message me on FB if you want the hook up
Linday? LOL, extra letter
LMAO @ Goldman Sachs cookies!
resting up for the 3rds ToMG??
To me, NYR has been crappy in second periods for a few seasons now. I know it was a big problem last season.
They sell cookies to investors but take a short position on brownies to have a perfectly hedged dessert portfolio.
linda, they must make a heckuva a cookie then!! lol
Edzo is doing a pretty good, isn´t he ????
Oh I am in and out of this stream with the Rangers :) I hope to have it resolved now :)
ilb!!!!!!!!!! my buddy!!!
NHL keeps coming up with great commercials promoting playoffs
Towes making a wish as a kid and then raising a cup…I liked that one a lot
Props to the NHL for coming up with great ideas like that
Drury commercial. Ripped pants. Kinda in….right now.
ROFL CTB!!!! yes!!! ROFLMAO!
where is eddie to the third power today???? (eddie)(eddie)(eddie)
CCCP yesterday I watched a game from Avangard with Jagr and you didn´t comment on it ????
Jagr scored to make it 1-1 but they lost to Magnitogorsk 1-2 !!!!!!!!!!
ohah thrid period..now..
well done CT!!
ilbzo… hank looks better in those skinny jeans than that train wreck of a guy in the beer commercial lol
mao, would that be Ecubed? lol
phew Well, thankfully they’re still talking about Crosby. I was worried we might go a few minutes without hearing about him.
will do. thanks, Lin!
Let’s go third period!
Come on lucky 3rd period!
We’re going to have to start spending some time in Penguins’ end soon.
Pierre just said “you have to give the Rangers credit…” LOL!
you got it girl!! she’s shipping mine this week…too excited lol
That pinhead behind the glass gets more intolerable every game and every time he opens his yap! I don’t care where Crybaby is in the standings, even being out. I wonder who this joker’s protector is that he is still working for NBC!
Tiki, i think the planets just went out of alignment
rangers better pick up there game or they are in trouble.
Not looking so good…...Might want to get that puck into the offensive zonr and put some shots on net?
I want someone to end Cooke’s career!
fuggin Cooke
LOL Linzo!
Cooke is going off the ice. Is that a 5 minute major?
Um…..can we PLEASE hurt someone?
THAT is a suspension!
Shocking that Cooke went high. SHOCKING.
It’s only a matter of time until one of those long shots beats Lundqvist because he couldn’t see it.
Cooke is such a scumbag.
THAT WAS SO DIRTY!!!!!!!!!!! OH MY GOD!!!
Matthias
sorry buddy…I wasn’t around yesterday
I know about the playoffs in KHL
I think that series is tied at 3-3 now
what a piece of carcillo!
carcillo cooke cooke
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO !!!!!!!! POWER PLAY AND COOKE IS DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!! bye bye bye you piece of carcillo! 10 games for being a repeat offender!!!!!!!
Suspend his aasen.
They better take this piece of Cooke off the ice. Game?
WOW is that dirty. Good thing Lemieux’s Penguins don’t participate in all those dirty tricks other teams do.
Make this count, boys!
why is cooke still in this league???/
ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME, THIS GUY SHOULD BE FREAKING BAND FROM HOCKEY, FREAKING BAND!!!!!!!
Make em pay boys!
This will be made an example of 100% after the Chara hit.
Even we can (should) score on a 5 Min. Power Play.
Cooke is going to get about 3 games for that. Any predictions?
he should be suspended for the season and playoffs, he is such a repeat offender
rangers blowin it
Holy flying cows! They all defended the call for us! The planets are definitely out of alignment!
I’m sorry but I hope Matt Cooke gets hit and has to exist on life support. He needs to suffer.
if they are serious with the headshot thing,he should be done for the rest of the season.. what a byfuglien piece of healtying carcillo
matt cooke asshole…this guy needss to be banned out of the game..this guy has a hole, where others have a brain….
Speak up Mario!
Well, guys, Im willing to admit when Im wrong. I dont usually see Chara pull stuff like that. And if Cooke pulls that on a daily basis, then that’s really dirty. You could end people careers like that.
Girardi….....
How did i know this was going to happen?
Losers. How pathetic!
Girardi is horrible.
are you firetruckin kiddin me
pathetic!!!!!!!1
Well that was just plain awful.
Suspend Girardi while you’re at it.
un effin believable!
goddammit
Wow that was beyond dirty…that was straight up disgusting
Wonder what Mario will have to say about this one
and as a type this we’re got scored on
BARF
how bad is that? wow. cant wait for playoffs. yea right
That was HORRIBLE. I am going to vomit.
Like I said in my earlier post that the rangers better pick there game up or they are going to lose, well, there you go, ridiculous giving up a short handed goal, I think I am going to puke.
No body taken, stick check all the away, again. 3 on 2 on the penalty kill. We’re reeling hard now.
Whos on the power play?
Girardi is slow…mentally and on his skates…that was a softie…
Don’t trade everybody yet!
The offence looks stupid today.
Ugh we not only are unable to male a team pay by beating them up physically, we can’t even make them pay with a 5 minute major.
Nice way to step up for your teammate. Give up a shorthanded go-ahead goal.
And they got rewarded for their own cheap shot. Not surprised.
CCCP – Does that link you sent me long ago on FB still work? Id love to see Jagr in the KHL playoffs.
We showed them no one cheap shots us by letting them have that short handed goal
Torts, why isn’t Girardi’s backside warming a bench somewhere? Just horrible. His whipping boy is already on the bench so who will he blame today?
the dreaded 5 minute freakin power play…......ugh
come on PP
MUST SCORE HERE.
blood. 4 minutes.
BLOOD
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 5 on 3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This should be FOUR.
Four minute PP
How fuggin huge is this? There’s no excuses.
4 min…
4 min pp, we have to score now
they really want to make it to teh last game. if they cant score on the 5 on 3 im gonna flip!!!
They BETTER score right now.
Ok. Obviously we HAVE to score here. Then score on the remainder. COME ON.
YOU HAVE TO SCORE NOW!!
ok now i’m pissed!
This is score or lose all heart. Call the TO and get him patched up with a bandaid on the bench.
Got to make them pay
2 man advantage… pls, score
its now or never!
So tell me, what are the Penguins fans booing exactly?
I should be excited that the rangers have a 5 on three but since this is the rangers where talking about, who cares.
We could get 2 5-on-3 goals here.
absolutely no one to blame other than ourselves if we lose this one
this is the game right here kids
Fuggin useless Butt-Chin
This is getting more and more pathetic with every play
Where is Gaborik?
where was Stepan trying to pass omggg
Tiki
It should work
we need mccabe to shoot
YES!!!
get Stepan off the ice, kid is brutal tonight…
HUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE!!!
YES!!!!!!!!!!!
FINALLY…. Yeesh. I’m kinda shocked that even happened.
Gabby!

My voice is gone too. My neighbors are NOT happy right now.
and now Cally! WOOHOOO!!
I love the ‘bring it to me’ gesture with the fingers he did there. Awesome!
Crowd seems quieted, no?
from worst PP ever to “we take the lead”
lol linda…ecubed…ROFL …you are all the best!!
Watch for pathetic make up call. Eminger made a great play
Sew the C on his chest because he is the HEART!
If this was last years team, after that shorthanded goal, it would be…..
Game Over
Season Over
Good news that McDonut is back on the ice. :)
is there a better sound than the Pens “fans” being quieted?
Look at that yell from Cally!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That’s leadership!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LQ playing is leadership!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
9 minutes of shutout hockey, boys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Unity, Mingling, Togetherness!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don’t know if I can make it through the playoffs with this team alive. I am WAY to emotional about these guys.
whooo we finally get some offense! and boyle almost gets one. why didnt they play like this before? they wait till they go down a goal. still lucky goal by cally, but hells yea i’ll take it!
That idiot Cooke better get a hefty suspension for his cheap elbow. Tag a few matches on behalf of Savard as well.
and a spring became a summer…
I think Cooke will get at least 3 games. More maybe?
mingling has become a new term lol
I am so fired up right now I want to drive to manhattan to the nhl office and give colonoscopy cambel a elbow, kick and bat to his head.
wow inside of 11 seconds game is turned around !!!!!!!!!!!
one more baby!
I want an insurance goal. Now. Then we can focus on hurting someone. I choose LeTang.
Cooke should get more than three games. He’s a known headhunter. He’s been warned, and he still throws head shots.
He should get 10 games in my opinion.
Good time for the league to show some balls.
Bite, and jam as well.
I have a feeling Pittsburgh will be awarded another cheap power play before we’re done.
Where is that Zuccarello goal someone promised us earlier?
very sloppy still dfensively and neutral zone too
LOL Lin!
Look at Henrik, baby!!!!!! He wants the playoffs and he wants the Cup!!!!!!
it’s coming Manfried!!
WALLQVIST for six minutes !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!LETS GO HANK!!!
this is where Avery would take a dumb penalty and hurt us
Give him 10. I would be very happy about that. I just think the league does not want to kill this team because Cindy is on it. The Pens get special treatment.
Mario? How is that play? Dirty? Are you party of this game?
That Ovechtrick commercial is so unrealistic
No way Ovi scores 9 goals in one game even with his talent
The scores in that game was 8-7 Caps over Devils…no way Devils score 7 goals in a single game!!
Has NJD ever scored 7 goals in a single game?
Thanks LINda.
love how they managed to turn it on..
elbow our rookie D… bloody our defacto captain… we’re officially pissed and now will take your lunch money by force.
watch for some runs at Hank
that whining beach mario lemeuix can just shove it after his boy Cooke throws another in a long line of dirty hits. if he does not get 10 games it is criminal, but he won’t, because they just gave only 2 games to heatley and marchand and 3 to Kubina for similar elbows. he will probably get 3 or 4
This guy I work with is a Devils fan. What an idiot. He told me this might be the BEST Debbies team of all time and it’s too bad they can’t make the playoffs to show it off. What?
lol C3, have the devils scored 7 in a week??
Sauer is Beast!
Yup. I can’t WAIT to hear Mario to make a little whiny comment about the Cooke hit.
In all seriousness, when is the pizzaman going to just give up the ‘C’ to Cally? He certainly deserves it at this point. If double pepperoni Drury was a real leader, certainly he would push to actually have a captain on the ice. Look at how Prospal responded when he came back sans ‘A.’
Actually, check that. I don’t want Talbot hurt.
GO RANGERSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!
SAUERBOOM!! unload on turdbot
I mean I DO want him hurt. Sheesh.
Best team of….all time? Lol.
thats right Sauer you tell him your gonna beat his assen in!
They should take Cally back and sew his “C” on right now. They can sew it on with the same stuff they sew his nose up with and then seal the deal with his blood.
Keep them in their own end of the ice boys for the remainder of the game.
Manfried I have to deal with idiots as well during work so its nice to see that others have to suffer as well :)
who is Drury??
miss drury?
>>...we’re officially pissed and now will take your lunch money by force.
Don’t make me angry Mr. McGee. You wouldn’t like me when I’m angry.
what are the odds of a pens pp before the end of te game
Yeah manfried sew it on Cally using his blood in the color!!!
Well, there you go.
pretty good crcillo
thre it is jbytes
There’s the bad makeup call.
You gotta be kidding?
It’s tough Matthias.
YEA! Cally’s Blood is the stigmata! HE is the chosen one.
And there is the makeup call. Give me a break.
Letang better be gettin the penalty??? What???? BS!!!!!!!!!!
Are you kidding? They both punched each other at the same time.
Theres the makeup call
Hey, as I said…
Wow! The officials are just pathetic. That’s all there is to it.
and there it is
If that’s a penalty, it’s an interference. That’s no roughing. Thats BS
McD has some nasty to his game
Theres the Crosbys power play
and there is your “make up call”
Blow the FUGGING WHISTLE YOU RUSSIAN HEUSOS!!!!
Sauer is a MONSTER. Look at him protect Hank.

That actually is a good quote.
No Manfried, its very very very tough
lol Sauer takes two guys … love it
please remove girardi
it seems as if dubi took whatever testosterone girardi had. he has become TOUGH
Nice job Sauer!
All started by a bad Girardi clear.
Love to see Dubi taking on both Kennedy and Kunitz, tho
please give Sauer number 23 next season lol
UNDER TWO MINUTES!!!!!!!
You’re right Matthias. It is very, very tough. At least the guy I work with is a fair weather type fan. He is no “putty” type die hard.
Gilroy on the pk?

Wow! This game wiped me out! Need to rest.
Sooooo satisfying!!!!!
Big road win
Thank you Matt Cooke for waking up the Monster…....your still a horses arse
what a win!!
Great win. Love it.
ironically cooke’s dirty play turned this game around or there was a good chance the rangers weren’t winning this game, so for that, I thank you crack head cooke.
You can hear a pin drop in that arena.
Rangers sure did redeem themselves for that shorthanded goal. Thank jeebus for the high-sticking double minor.
Great Great WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m a huge happy human!
>>ironically cooke’s dirty play turned this game around …
BIG time!
WIN! Yess.
Love beating the Crosbys.
Too bad we won’t see Tort’s presser.
wow, holy freakin hell, did anyone expect this?? What a sonofabitchin game!!
helmet nuzzles, dubi kisses and torts poppin neck veins to all!!!!!!!!!
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
what a BEEEEEEEEEEEEAUTIFUL SUNDAY!!!
fugg you mario!
Career high 23rd goal for Cally. Impressive.
Happy early 26th bday to himself!
Dublowsky & Callaman with a goal and two assists
Artie with a goal and an assist
Pack Line lives!
Nice to see Gabby on a three game goal streak. Great timing.
Prospal has a nine game point streak now, I think. EC with a four game point streak. People stepping up!
Stepan, McD, AA and Sauer hugging each other after they scored an important goal. There is our future, boneheads. What’s there not to like?
I’m off to cut the bridge of my nose in tribute.
Listen to the crickets in the new igloo
Well done guys…Great interview by Cally..perfect one for the Rangers !!!!
Someone will probably record the press conference.
somebody tell me what the byfuglien happened with cooke!
Hello, Ranger Fans! Here we are in Crosby PA, just Crosbying all the Crosby’s and just getting Crosbyed by it all. I hope you all go Crosby yourselves and Let’s Go Crosbys!!! That takes care of the NHL Constant Crosby Repeated Crosby Reference Crosby Rule. Now we can proceed….
Mess! Hey Messier! Is that Kovalev out there? Why didn’t we sign him this season? I know I saw Leetch sitting in the broadcast booth lately, and Graves is always hanging about somewhere. Even Keenan has been skulking around the Garden. Maybe we could put the Cup team back together and give it another go? We can sign Kovy for about $6 Million, I bet…
(Singing) “Oh Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling… From Glen to Glen, and down the mountain side ” Ohhhh, that’s Dolan’s new ringtone- (I see Dantoni gets top billing, but at least he mentions me twice). Hey there, Big Guy! Eighth Place is just around the corner, just like I promised. And don’t forget that 7 year contract extension if we win a playoff round… How the Knicks doin’ now that you got Marshmallo? Huh? Oh, it’s Carmalo? Whatever… Still losing? (click) What an Asshat!
Where’s my latest million-dollar pugilist? Boogy, run down to the concession stand and get me a couple of those sausage and pepper things they sell here. And NOT the hot sausage either! Give Muckler the hot ones… Those thing burn twice- once when you eat ‘em and again at carcillo time.
KLUNK! Awww, Geez, Boogy, you gotta remember to duck thru doorways, or that concussion will never heal…
A nice win today! I can’t wait to here Lemieux threaten to quit hockey again after that Cooke major elbowing penalty and game misconduct. C’mon Mario! You can do it…...
And don’t worry about making the playoffs. I sent Drury, Redden and White to Carolina for 8th place. They seemed happy to do it…
Forever Yours (Or at least it seems like it…)
Uncle Glennie
That’s our longest winning streak this season. Keep it going please!
Thats playoff hockey right there.
A team full of Monsters!!!!!!!!
that is often what happens in 5 min PPs. the players think they have all day, the urgency and work ethic fall off, and the opponents take advantage of that. actually it was the high-stick by Niskanen that turned the game around, because before that the PP was awful.
2nd game in a row i screamed so much i gave myself a headache!!
lmao LW, that’s awesome!
what a freakin team we have here guys!
Great win. And I hope Cooke gets a 10-game suspension.
RANGERS WIN RANGERS WIN RANGERS WIN!!!!
ooooooohhhhhh baby does beating Pittsburgh feel goooood!!! But hey its all about the 2 points and see the Penguins with zero. Just think …Penguins lose all thier games and miss the playoffs!!! Just imagine a playoffs with us in it and NO NJ or Pittsburgh!!!
Dear Mario:
F u !!!!!!!!!
I’m cutting the bridge of my nose also. I’m trying to get all the blood in a bottle, since I have Tiger’s Blood. I’ll sell it on the black market.
Great effort. Great poise. Great win.
But, does Mario Lemieux really want to be part of a league that allows Matt Cooke to run around trying to hurt people? One of those two has to go.
that third period, was again, awesome for this team
he is a douche that’s what happened. edzo says 8 games suspension
Carp, Cooke was a piece of Carcillo and elbowed McD in the head.
question
since mario wanted fines, does this mean the pen()S get the first team fine for Headhunter cooke???
Cooke needs to have his career ended.
I want to see him get boarded, and taken out on a stretcher. Guys like him don’t belong in the league. Take them out on a fuggin stretcher!
Carp…..Cooke’s 5 min elbowing penalty on McD turned the game
gotta love Prust & Callahan, Heart & Soul of this team.
They almost have 6-20 Goal scorers, impressive
Blindside elbow to mcdonough’s head carp
Gaborik’s last couple of tallies have been HUGE, yes?
How bad was it after Staal scored? That could have been game over season over if not for the major power play being only a couple minutes old.
Yeah, Cooke threw his elbow into McDonut’s jaw, it looked like.
Luckily McDonut wasn’t at all phased by it. He didn’t spend much time on the ice. I hope that doesn’t factor into the leagues decision. They need to step up and give him a lengthy suspension.
DUH WINNING!!!!!!!!!!
Cooke is a disgrace to hockey. He makes even Carcillo look classy.
smiles all around! I’m still worried about our last 9 but could our boys be playing any better right now?
McMonster OK?
What a game, stole another one at the new igloo.
When are they building the Ryan “The Penguin Punisher” Callahan statue next to Lemieux’s? I think he has game winners in all three games there this year, no?
Nothing is sweeter than another coward move by Cooke costing them the game.
{{{{{{{LINDA}}}}}}}
Don’t hurt yourself screaming!!!
had to work so i missed most of the game
(then superstition took over)
was texted that we won
heard that cooke (the Puke) may get
8 games.
what did he do now?
Carp – Seemed to be… he was back on the ice later
Cooke will be suspended for attempt to injure. It was a high elbow to the jaw of Mcdough . cooke pulled an Avery and cost his team the win. A true detrement to his team.
Why was Stahl out of the lineup? I never heard them mention why.
jpg
He threw a flying elbow to the head.
McMonster! Sauerboom! Our best dmen!
You know what we proved today? We can win without Avery :P
yeah he seemed to shake off the hit pretty nicely, McD is a monster and showed so good toughness out there today.
Way to take care of bidness! Looks like we’ll be making the playoffs after all.
Ryan Callahan needs to have the C on his sweater for the next game. Not since Mark Messier has there been a guy on this team with this kind of testicular fortitude!
RYAN CAPTAIN CALLAHAN!!!
Oh yeah , im outta here …stayed up all night for this game and im going to ZZZZZZ!!!
Rangers are the best!!!
“he pulled an Avery”....hahahaha
>>Luckily McDonut wasn’t at all phased by it.
Who knows how he’ll feel tomorrow?!
just a question..can you fire a player.????.come on Mario you need to do it with Cooke….
its unbelievable. a clear attempt to injure someone..this guy needs to be banned for the rest of the season…
On Sather’s Wrapup, Boogey should run down to the concussion stand instead :)
they said that Torts said that Staal has “a body injury” he would not specify.
Sauer = second coming of Beukeboom!!
ORR – Undisclosed injury for Stahl.
McD, Sauer, Staal…....can’t wait for McIlrath…...will be a nasty D
Callahan= CAPTAIN
>>Ryan Callahan needs to have the C on his sweater for the next game.
Don’t change captains this late into the season.
ZzZz: -”...Cooke pulled an Avery and cost his team the win”.
That’s a cheap shot against one of our guys. Avery hasn’t cost us a win like Cooke just did for the Pens. And on top of that, he hasn’t ended careers the way Cooke has.
Save the nastiness for the bad guys and enjoy the win!
and totally intentional, nothing incidental about it, Cooke moved his elbow up specifically to smack McDonagh in the head. Should get minimum 8-10 games now that this is so out there, he just had a high profile piece in SI about how nifty it is that he’s sucha a dirtbag, and the NHL has been so called out about the Savard thing. Have nice vacation, you piece of carcillo (wondering if we should swap that word out for “piece of cooke”)
psu Ranger
Actually they could be playing better, and they were fortunate to come out of this one alive, let alone with a win. For some reason they reverted to their old (immaculate consensus) on when to shoot rather than pass and they allowed Pitt to spend most of the game in their end of the ice. Lundqvist was immense throughout.
Actually he saved them ;;;without those desperation saves of his there would have been no come back.
well JB, our captain has pretty much been on the sidelines all season, what difference would it make???
>>Sauer = second coming of Beukeboom!!
We now need a second coming of Leetch.
Those are “Avery penalties”
In other words, selfish penalties.
Regardless, we took advantage, with a little luck. I’m not worried aboot McDonut.
I just don’t like Emminger on that top line. He and Princess Diana looked lost.
Ryan Callahan for the “C”!
SAUER SMASH!
Cooke’s hit was worse than either of the hits that earned Village People Gillies a 19-game break, since the elbow was the sole point of body contact – he can’t even make any pretence that it was part of a hockey hit.
But since McDonagh wasn’t hurt, Cooke will get something like six games and only that because he’s a repeat offender.
with staal out and McD in box, sauer and gilroy were huge on the PK in last 3 minutes
He’s a cooke-sucker.
Cooke should be suspended for life!
That was such a clear intent to injure…
Carp
Cooke just skated up to McD and elbowed him straight in the jaw!
LinCPB, don’t fix it if it’s not broken. I don’t want that “C” to put extra weight/burden on Callahan. We can anoint him in the off-season.
the players know, and so do the fans, that the real leader of this team is Cally. even if Rangers mgmt can’t “C” it, we can.
Sour’s nickname should be “Hulk”
I wish he would talk like the Hulk when he’s protecting Hank.
You no touch goalie! Hulk smash!
Love him! Sour Power!
coming out of the 2nd still tied …..... huge
cooke being a piece of carcillo…....... huge
SAUERBOOM, McMonster, Hank and Cally… HUGE
Rangers winning again in Pitt…..priceless
I’m still a bit in wonderment about these referees when playing Pittsburgh.It seems that they always find a strange penalty to call against visitors, especially when the V;s are mounting a scoring threat. Two instances tonite that were critical and one they called a roughing on the Ranger, when the guy he roughed also roughed…without a call.
The other one was a blatant foul, which was ignored.
thanks for the info.
how typically cooke of him?
(wonder what mario has to say!!!)
gotta eat (finally!!!) and celebrate!!!
Team getting momentum at right time. Habs and Pens good teams. Good time to start playing well. But still a lot of work to do. Like Mr. Wolf in pulp fiction said, “let’s not **** just yet.” But you gotta like how they are playing.
JB, do you think it would really make a difference since he’s been acting captain all season? it’d be different if he didnt have the A already.
He just stepped up leaps and bounds this year. If anything, he’ll be getting a NICE RAISE come July!!!
Great game, now it’s time to go outside and clean up the plies of dog Carcillo (aka Cooke) the snow has been hiding all winter. Fun Fun!!!!
On the captain thing, I truly believe that internally, this team sees Callahan as their captain. They may say they respect Drury and that he’s done a lot for this team, but with him being gone for 90 percent of the season, I think they have looked for someone who IS playing to be their captain and Callahan has stepped up BIG TIME. He seems to be embracing the role too.
did anybody attempt to get Cooke?
no Carp he was pretty much immediately escorted off the ice by the refs.
i’ve been posting this on FB since the win streak began… so i’d like to share it with all you guys who i am not FB friends with….
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EuTzsi6WT6Q
It makes me sad to see the game I love ruined by such goonery. I need to think about whether I want to be a part of this league anymore.
(Sob…sniff…)
An important experience for the team to learn that it can win on the road against a physical team without one of their shutdown D (Staal). Gilroy stepped back in under pressure and helped out.
The fact the the actual letter isn’t on his jersey is a moot point. At least from the team’s perspective, IMO
He did it and basically ran off the ice like cowards do, Carp.
Great win by the Rangers, but man oh man that shorthanded goal by the Penguins that came after a series of ridiculously inept plays by the Rangers while ‘enjoying’ a 5 on 3 sure made things look really really dark for a moment or 2.
He was invisible most of the game, but kudos the Gabbie for scoring the tying goal on that 5 and 3 and waking his teammates up as a result.
Kudos to the King, too – he was superb today.
And the best way to retaliate when gooned like the Rangers were is scoring on the PP, which the Rangers did twice to take the lead. That’s one big reason the Red Wings don’t need a goon – teams know when you go shorthanded against the Wings too often, you get scored on.
Wanna bet Cooke gets something like 4 games by the joke of a league?
And I wonder if Staal’s injury is a concussion – he was concussed after getting pounded by his brother late last month and came back surprisingly quick. If I’m right, that’s not good at all and could mean Staal’s gone for a long time…
great point RIR!! gilroy was strong today. i think he should stay in and playgirl pose girardi should sit next game lol
Nobody went after Cooke, but he was pretty much taken straight off the ice by the officials as it was so blatant. Wouldn’t place any blame on the Rangers on the ice for that.
I doubt they’d win this one with Ocho Cinco in net.
I hope the league makes Mario eat his words and throws the book at Cooke.
LinCPB, if Callahan is a true leader, he’ll never let the organisation strip an injured player of his captaincy. That’s not how he’d want to earn it. You Heads can drop this “C” talk now!
hell, if someone went after cooke, they would have gotten a misconduct, a suspension, and had to turn over their first born
LinCal:
Yeah, Girardi still looks too befuddled out there at times for one of our “shutdown pair.” But the rest of the D acquitted themselves well (as did Dubi, Calli and other forwards helping take bodies in front).
Shame that this is the last time we play these losers in the regular season. I’d love to see Cooke get the fuggin crap beat out of him. Booger needs to take care of that next season.
We can’t afford to get suckered into that game if we play them into the playoffs.
But, just watch the video of him getting knocked out by Evander Kane, and you’ll feel a bit better .
ORR, that is a thing of beauty for sure.
Wouldnt it be great if Zucca did that to him lol.. yea yea yea, someone make a crack about him needing a step ladder or platform skates lol
Cooke will never dance with the Boogeyman. And the Boog couldn’t catch up to him anyway. It’s gotta be a middleweight that gets him.
Hmmm. Wolski maybe?
JB, that’s a GREAT point about Callahan. Bravo to you
the C talk won’t be dropped though, we’ve all been saying it pretty much all season.
Sauer and McDonagh were monsters today!!! I love those kids!
Guys are stepping up at the right time!!! Gaby and Prospal, The Pack Line, Zukes, Steps…everyone is chipping in!
Can’t wait to take 2 pts against the Cats on Tuesday!!
Lin – I totally agree. Ryan Callahan needs a C stitched on his jersey!!
EC has been producing consistently!! It’s springtime!!
Orr he knocked him out right away :)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xW9Sp-WndwA
RIR, McD and Sauerboom have really had impressive debut seasons. I shudder to think where we’d be if Redden was still on the roster lol ;-)
We’ve waited sooooooooooo long for a team like this, which will only get better next season.
Hard working, never quit, and the young guys are doing better than we had probably imagined. Gabby’s heating up, and Hank has become WALLQVIST!! Gotta keep the positives going and this could be a tough team for ANYONE to face in the playoffs.
great great win. wow that is the worst PP that scores 2 goals I have seen in a while.
dubi is a real player. if he could finish wow.
huge 2 points, this team is tough…..............
Orr, I also would like to see Cooke taken off the ice on a stretcher. He deserves to never play another game in the NHL…
Rangers are now top ten in goals per game…not bad!!
I wanna watch that third period again.
And Friday’s game that I missed drinking chocolate martini’s and eating fancy pizza.
the only ice cooke should ever see again should be in a glass with a drink
lmao fancy pizza
mickey, if you really want to , you can purchase hockeystreams for a day and hit up the archived games i believe
thought Ec was invisible. gaborik too, until he got a rebound on a PP. it is disturbing that against good teams , even with Orpik out, he still does not step up, he cruises around the perimeter 5-on-5 and also gives up the puck way too easily compared to last year. but he will dominate the fishsticks and oil, big whoop. nobody considers him a leader of this team.
23 goals for Cally after missing 6 weeks with the broken hand! AA two goals away from 20!!! Stepan one goal away from 20! Cally with 23, Dubi with 21, Gabby with 22 and Boyle with 21. NOT TOO SHABBY BOYS
Let’s give Callahan the “C”, and while we’re at it, make Dubi an Assistant
My prediction on the Cooke hit – 9 game suspension .
After all the talk this week about deliberate hits to the head, this one is a classic.
NHLl needs to make a statement & end this Carcillo now.
10pins
disagree about Gaborik, the rangers played a conservative game and his linemates were both rather quiet. Gabby isnt going to score many even strength goals if the Rangers are trying to “grind”
A very satisfying emotional win. However, as Fran and some others rightly point out we got lucky that Cooke was leaking brain matter as he glided over to hit McD in the head. Obviously the guy is not very bright as he cost his team this game. It’ll be very interesting to see how heavy the book is that gets tossed at him by the league. If you were Bylsma, would you put him back in the lineup when his suspension time is up?
In the late ‘70s, the Bruins went to the finals twice with a lineup that set a record for most 20-goal scorers in a season.
This Ranger team and its effort and balanced scoring reminds me a bit of them, except LQ is much better than the aging Gerry Cheevers and erratic Gilles Gilbert were!
Big win! Cooked is scum! Sauer and
I repeat again. in the past week, after the GM meetings, there have been 3 other elbow incidents. and all they gave Heatley and Marchand was 2 games , and Kubina got 3. so, even with past record, Cooke may only get in the 4-6 range. if he gets double digits, it will be surprising, because mario will have to quit the “garage league”once again.
Rangers are SECOND in the conference in goals scored. Yes, SECOND!
Understand that they’ve played more games than most of the other teams, but still. WOW!
Can’t dispute that Callahan deserves the ‘C’ but this team has shown a tight team mentality that seems to grow with each game here in the stretch. I’m referencing Callahan’s, Dubi’s and Suaer’s protective behavior specifically but the whole team battled hard and played real physical today for the entire 60 minutes. Maybe we’re better off with just a bunch of ‘A’s’.
FlaRanger –
I remember the incident with Curt Bennett. I think the guy he pummeled was Darcy Rota, but I could be wrong. Rota was famous for taking cheap shots and then skating behind a teammate so the other team couldn’t get to him.
Right after that incident, Emile Francis traded Bennett to the Atlanta Flames. We can’t allow ruffians to spoil the the (at the time) Lady Byng image of the Rangers. (sarcasm).
lol, that’s pretty good Heave!
wonder how much “BITE” the new rules are going to have with this Cooke incident.
c72 made a good point, but I wonder if 4-6 would make as much of a statement with a repeat offender. OR…is the slate wiped clean for EVERYONE with the new rules?
GREAT win today! It showed a lot of character to bounce back after the SHG…...
btw, you will know if it is 5 games or more by whether Cooke has to go to NY for a hearing in person. if it is less than 5 games, they conduct the hearing by telephone.
Go Preds at Buffs at 5 ! Hope Nashville means business.
They wouldn’t dare give him 8-10 games. The union would have a fit, Mario would start bawling again. And the kid didn’t get hurt. Joke.
It sounds like the suspension Cooke gets from the NHL will be moot. Bylsma sounds like he’s done with Cooke.
Carp, now would be the time to throw the book at him, and they should cite Mario’s letter to the league about hits to the head as the reason why.
make an example of the pet franchise!?!?
“Matt Cooke, as a repeat offender, shall be suspended for the remainder of the regular season and all of the playoffs. The length of this penalty was determined because we accept and agree with the position taken by Pittsburgh Penguins team owner, Mario Lemieux. You’re welcome, Mario.”
And a fine to the team. Direct quote from LePieux’s letter:
“We think it is time that teams also are held accountable for the actions of their players. We propose instituting a policy of automatically fining a team when one if its players is suspended—with the amount of the fine based on the length of the suspension. This should serve as a disincentive for teams as well as players to employ these kinds of tactics.”
Doodie, going to be interesting to see the outcome of this. Does the fact that McD was not ‘visibly hurt’ and continued on in the game factor into the decision? What if he wakes up tomorrow and is all fuzzy?
So buying out Drurys contract after this season???
Lin, there should not be any clean slates for anybody when it comes to behavior intended to injure another player. The league has got to come down heavy on Cooke if they want to show fans and the players that they’re serious about this issue. Serious consequences will force teams to reconsider having players like Cooke on their roster. Bad PR for the organization and painful financial loses for the players will help curtail these abusive and stupid actions. The game should be competitive, physical and hard but not irresponsibly dangerous.
Doodie, what did Bylsma say?
I hope you are right on the no clean slates, that would really be ridiculous.
Also agree with you on having to come down heavy to prove they mean what they say. This could be looked at as a precedent setting decision by the league. If they don’t stop this guy, he IS going to end someones career. Same with Suban
If the league has any PR savvy (or integrity), they’ll suspend Cooke for the remainder of the regular season.
Just watched the game highlights on NHL.com (no Cooke elbow, strangely?!). But Zucc’s giveaway on Kunitz’s potentially backbreaking SH goal was incredibly soft and stupid. Fortunately for him, he didn’t take any aggressive minor penalties in garbage time or he might find himself banished to the press box on Tuesday night !
Cooke is a well-known repeat offender – and he did his thing on National TV – if the league doesn’t give him a minimum of 10 games, then all this talk about head-shots is bull-carcillo!
Rhode Island, the fact that NHL.com didn’t show Cooke’s hit shows clearly their sensitivity to this issue. Although this play clearly affected the game’s outcome the NHL can’t afford for this kind of behavior to continue to be associated with the league.
And a MAJOR fine to the team is in order, too – too many incidents of head-shots by members of the team whose owner chewed out the League hierarchy over the Gillies incident…..
Hey, I never said anything aboot an honorable fight. I want Booger to hunt him down, and “Bertuzzi” him
Cooke deserves it.
Mario will earn an awful lot of respect if he beats the League to the punch and sends Cooke down to Wilkes-Barre or whatever Gawd-forsaken place their AHL affiliate is in for the rest of the year.
Step up, Mario !
sooo. does the fact that McD is a little woozy long after the hit factor into Cooke’s suspension?
Some nice numbers: Cally and Dubi each with a goal and 2 helpers. AA a goal and an assist. And the King with 38 saves, at least 10 of which were quality ones.
It’s bad karma to ever wish a serious injury to another player, even though it would be well-deserved and very satisfying to see…..in the end, it’s bad to wish such a thing on anyone.
RIR: I suspect Christensen will sit in favour of Avery. He was invisible today.
Especially that save on James Neal right before McDonut got out of the box, and assisted on Step-On’s goal.
I thought the shorthanded goal was a bit of a softy though. But, he had an overall good game.
After today’s game McDonagh is an unbelievable +17. Awesome!!
How aboot this quote from a Pens fan
“Cooke’s arms were up because he went to shove Mcdonagh on his back into the boards. Instead, Mcdonagh went cross ice instead of up the boards and his body opened up to Cooke. Also Mcdonagh was skating backwards and slowed down slightly, pretty sure Cooke was aiming for his left shoulder. Just because he’s a repeat offender, I do think cooke will be suspended. But ‘cheap shotting’ and the ‘intent to injure’? Doubt it. 3 games probably”
Dope!
Jim: I hope you’re right. Will be revealing to see whether Torts values jam and emotional investment more than shootout potential after an ineffectual 60 minutes. Or does Zuccs get a little spankin’ for his egregious giveaway on Kunitz’s shorty?
ORR: Didn’t Girardi redirect that short-handed goal?
Torts’ post-game presser:

Someone should pull a Dexter on Cooke, if you know what I mean.
It looked like it went cleanly over his stick, top shelf, with Hank doing his usual prostitution/porn star routine.
new post.
Avery gave LQ a nice neck rub before the game to loosen him up. That’s about the biggest contribution we could hope for from Avery.
If we have 6 20+ goal scorers we have a shot in the playoffs.
Wow!, this was a top quality post. In theory Id like to write like this too; taking time and real effort to make a good article but what can I say I keep putting it off and never seem to get something done
