FIRST!
BOOOOOOOOOOOOM! to all the negative nancies!!
HOW THAT FEEL NOW, SONS??
MAOTRICK!
I’ll be at the game tomorrow night. Can’t wait! Garden should be rockin’!
lets go rangers
Bonehead Krisy will be on her flight to New York from Norway in 5 hours – her first time ever in NY. Let’s all hope she has a safe flight and a tremendously tremendous time during her visit. :)
the boys might need a few hours in the ole hot tub and then massive ice packs after today’s game…
krisey from norway…have a great time…..eat pizza
Fedotenko is going to have to bring the Hot Tub in his carry-on luggage for the “flight” home.
Hartford, should be. Probably won’t be. But they will shoot T-shirts into the stands here in Nashville, er, New York City.
the Tank must return next year…very under-rated player imo
ricardo – not a single #2 joke from me….
Eddie – When he got injured and then got an appendectomy I began to realize that he is probably the lynchpin to this entire team. So underrated.
i wonder if NBC will pre-empt golf coverage with a newer update re: the skid
LMAO Manny I was being sarcastic myself. I hope no offense was taken.
don’t mind the occasional No. 2 joke—I am a Beavis & Butt-head fan, after all. But no need to get too graphic with it.
Hi, Carp. We okay?
No I am just joking around (as always). Seriously it’s impossible to offend me. Everyone here should know that. I will never take offense.
manny – not to mention …the tank has no lungs, liver, kidneys, or spleen…amazingg…
dde – you are a prick
Yea – Fedotenko is basically a shell of a human being but he plays so well.
carp re B & B…my fav episode…when they are working the frier line at the fast food place….ehahehahhehah…he said flies….huh huh huh huh
Carp said “Butt”. Huhuhuhuh.
I am a big fan of the episode where they direct traffic.
LW…earlier mannny said Hard…huhuhuuhu huh uuh uuhuuhu huhuuh
that’s cool
beavis – that is one twisted dude….serial killer twisted. uhuhu uhuh huhuhuhuhuh
the gym coach was hilarious too…
>>don’t mind the occasional No. 2 joke
Those types of jokes are never funny.
I, too, will never take offense….much like the ranger PP
Folks, I doubt most of you will make through this week….Some lost it already :-)
Eddie- WTB Manny’s the one that never gets offended, call him a prick. I’m actually very sensative.
no offense jbytes…but you are obviously no where near as puerile as me…
Hehe — Carp, I agree with your slant of how the recent Garden crowd hasn’t been all that loud…that’s why I said “should” ...with only three home games left let’s hope the crowd gets into what could be a do_or_die. LGR!
dde – i was only teasing…its opposite day…you are actually not a prick….
I am out for now assens. Enjoy your afternoon. It’s Sunday.
eddie gets points for “puerile.”
Puerile is one of my favorite words. I have a lot of favorite words, for no particular reason.
man you guys are immature
ddebened April 3rd, 2011 at 4:56 pm
man you guys are immature
dde – you dont know the half of it…:)
Eddie – so you’re callin’ me a puddy?
>>eddie gets points for “puerile.”
Bettman point?
No, no. He gets a legitimate point. But only one. Bettman took the other one away because he’s a Rangers fan.
latona – one of my favorite words is conduit – as in i conduit right now, i am busy…
Jeez, the Hurricanes guy is taking the term “colour commentary” a bit too far tonight – he makes Prospal look like an albino.
puddy?...didnt he play for the rangers and his first name was walt?
GUUUUUUUUYS. Thanks to Boston being a bunch on dunderheads, I’m stuck in Charlotte for the next 3 plus hours. Got to the gate as the flight was pulling away and they refused to bring it back, the byfuglieners! Then I got chastized by the ogre at the counter for using too many byfugliens and threatened with not making the flight if I continued to use them! WTB!!!
GRRRRRRR, sooooo mad right now.
please not freaking ot in this buff/car game
you conduit
http://tonylittle.com/
LW
hahahahayeah that guy looks like he has either seen a ghost, or is a ghost….but, seeing that the Rangers won makes me a wee bit happier. Thank the gods they pulled that one out.
dde – where is sarah conner?...i’ll be back
It’s Bronzer
mickey – good thing you didnt mention a byfugelin bomb or any such…you would have gotten 10 and a game misconduct
I have too many to name.
Haberdasher, quackery, obfuscate, octoroon, Jewry, fishmonger.. plenty more..
CABER! http://bit.ly/gKaQsz
latona – obsequious another fav,...
Go Sabres!
latona – extemperaneous, skew, and extraneous….
who should I cheer for between Carolina and Buffalo? Is a Sabres win the best scenario for blueshirts, then?
dde – nice guns on tony, you conduit, little
jpg’s sis – i want both to lose…but that would be tricky….que sera sera, whatever will be will be….
eddie, eddie, eddie,
do you mean walt podubny? was that his name?
F5, F5, F5
jpg’s sis…yes, my dear…N0. 8
Defenestration is perhaps the best word of all. It’s the act of throwing someone out a window. They ACTUALLY have a word for that. Amazing.
Butler did it for Buffalo! 1-nil.
latona – nice word…never heard that one before…
I remember him on the team, eddie thanks didn’t remember his number
jpg’s sis…think he had 40 one year…
does anyone not think that the rangers cant beat filthy in rd 1?....i think rangers win in 6
little brother of war – the national sport of Canada, good game on ESPNU
Flyers don’t scare me at all.
Where was ZzZz today?
>>the national sport of Canada
Lacrosse?
Punch ‘em right in the eye toof.
eddie cubed… I’m smart enough not to use that one word. Still plenty ticked though. At this rate I won’t get home til after 10 and I have to be at work at 8 tomorrow morning. Shoot me now, pls.
Let’s Go Buff-alo
Ja, JBytes
Djokovic tops Nadal to keep his perfect 2011 record alive! 24-0
That sucks, Mickey. :(
Managed to get a screen grab of Tripp Tracy:

Fully believe in the benefits of cross sport training. Gretzky played lax I believe.
at the end of 1 …1-0 sabres
dde – and johnny mac played hoops and soccer
lol LW you let me down for once
Funny how the people complaining about gimmicks in NY are the same people complaining about ticket prices in NY.
And Brodeur was Canadian junior champion at Hungry Hungry Hippos.
testBuffalo leads 1-0 at end of 1st period.Right said fred…I’m too sexy for my shirt…
LW3H, hahahahahahahaha.
sabres 9 shots to 6….lotta offense going on there….
Should I randomly start shouting ‘you suck’ at the tvs showing the canes/sabres game? I AM in Charlotte after all….
Wow, Staal played 34 minutes today? Dayum. Poor guy’s not gonna be able to walk tonight.
LW – do you have working link?
mickey – and a couple of nasty shot blocks…and a stick to the face….#18 is covered in ice ….
dde
No, it’s on TV here. I’m not actually paying full attention to it.
Gotta love Djokovic!
1-1 …please …just no shootout win…
gotta love ana ivanovic even more….
eddie cubed- yesh, poor Marc. Someone give him some advil too.
Enroth should have fallen down when that goal was scored – Larose backed right into him, and he didn’t have much of a chance to see/stop the puck…
Love Ivanovic! She is gorgeous, truly gorgeous. As is Djoko! I dont think they’re together together, but Ana – a fellow Serb – usually sits in Djoko’s box for finals if she has no other obligations.
Don’t do it, MickeyM – they might haul you off for observation – you already cased one scene there today! ;-)
caused
Well, so much for checkin’ in for a little hockey insight!
I look at Torts from way outside the forest (as I do all hockey) and two
things stand out. Like his predecessors, he’s been unable to get his team
to execute an effective power play, two years and counting.
Unlike his predecessors, he’s been unable to get this team to win
consistently at home. That, in itself, would dampen my enthusiasm
after this nice effort today.
I remain skeptical. Let this group show me its changed from the last ten
or twelve Ranger gangs.
Buffalo is killing themselves with penalties here….
Is anyone else concerned about Mama, or am I just overly-worried as usual? She was scheduled to be home this afternoon. Ill say this, Id rather Mama be okay than have the Rangers make the playoffs this year.
for anyone who wants to watch the carolina game
http://www.justin.tv/j_franck6#/w/1040399504
this buff game has ot written all over it.
canes fail on 5 on 3
watching live on center ice package.
Don’t sit your impressionable kids behind the bench at an NHL game:

Maybe her transportation home was delayed, Tik – or maybe she’s enjoying a nice Sunday afternoon/evening away from a computer.
Negative Nancy- come here and let me give you a nuggie.
Follow me boys.
It looks that way right now, eric – hopefully Buff will grab a lead at the start of the 3rd, with the PP.
Thanks- mazzo
lol -LW
Just for dde…
Tripp Tracy leading the way at the Hurricanes’ George Hamilton Tribute Night:
http://img339.imageshack.us/img339/5199/orangetripp.jpg
if the rangers dont beat boston tomorrow,,,torts will be fired…and the 77 yr. old john – get me a clue before i die – muckler will return for another brilliant tenure as phil donohue
tks lol @ orangetripp.jpg
Let’s see these clowns win at home tomorrow night, then come back to me …
I’m thinking the same Eddie
people talk about the cat’s genius…and keenan won a cup….but no one …NO ONE can replicate what john Byfuglucker did behind the bench…
the byfuglucker years were golden years to be a ranger’s fan….tix prices could have been $10,000 per…in the blues…and there would have been a run on them…..he was that great..
9-3-1 in last 13….byfugluckler would have been 13-0-0 just standing there….
the only thing that really stopped byfuglucker from gaining true acclaim…....were his military years….fighting along side george washington and those other great revolutionary heroes against the brits…
Eddie you are the cat’s genius
this is going to a SO…just wait…
I wonder if Tiki will be watching “The Kennedy’s” tonight?
I don’t think Muckler was capable of anything other than “just standing there”.
dde – i thank you…and the other eddie clowns thank you as well…
muckler’s wife…connie chung…is a babe
Two question observations from a fan who went to the game:
1.) wells fargo center plays their in house music really Freiking loud. I felt like my ears were going to explode. Now I know why all my friends with flyers tickets all have bad hearing.
2.) for a team that considers themselves tough – Flyer fans really really bitch a lot about penalties. It was nauseating in the 3rd when they were screaming for a penalty every time a ranger looked at a flyer.
Ugh, Sabres fan wiping her hand in and around her nose, then rubbing her neck.
How attractive. Gooey face must be “in” these days.
quiz question….which doesnt belong: corpse, moron, worst coach in ranger history, muckler, or a person with an IQ above 70?
Carolina seems to want this one more than Upstate New York does.
joey…i bet you had the last laugh…good seats….have a great time?.....are filthy fan absolutely disgusting?
I see a Rangers heritage jersey in the crowd.
9:40 left in the third…knotted up at 1
There’s a lot of Rangers fans in Carolina. A lot of babes too. There’s usually a few behind the coaches bench every year.
BUF – CAR on NHL Center, the picture makes me feell as if I’m watching a movie or something… so weird
Enroth is the reason this game is still 1-1
It looks like we’ll end up with a three point affair.
Buff is generating NO offense in this period – Enroth is single-handedly keeping them in this game.
CCCP
The word “movie” is a derivative of the term “moving picture”, so if you are seeing moving pictures, it will indeed appear similar to a movie.
If you are seeing pictures of a moving John Muckler, I suggest you invest in a new TV.
Buffalo has no legs. Both teams played last night.
orr – check out nina bajerska when you get a chance,,,
At this point, I just want somebody to score. Doesn’t matter what team, I DON’T want a three point game.
I literally could deal with ANY outcome except a flippin’ tie! No three point games!
She’s pretty cute. Who is she?
What’s she from…I mean.
Here’s the Canes chance to take the lead. Late PP!
It helps if Carolina loses, even it is in OT or shootout. Rather them lose in regulation, but a loss still helps.
LW3H
LOL! But these pictures are moving way too much like a movie rather than a hockey game…
And if I see moving pictures of John Muckler, I’m changing my address!
Carolina faces Detroit and TB at home among their 3 remaining games; both difficult.
Buffalo better win in the shootout, and yes, shootout. If Carolina wins in overtime, that will be the WORST possible outcome. So that’s what I’m gonna guess happens, simply cause everyone screws the Rangers over, including the Rangers themselves.
god freaking damn it. do we ever get a brake
Wings might not even play Howard for that game, so he can be fresh for the playoffs. So, I wouldn’t get too excited.
Bruins, and Devils for us is just as tough as Wings, and Bolts for them.
Pretty even last few games for both teams.
Dammit! Another 3 point game.
Even if that’s the case, it still helps if Carolina loses this game.
If we win tomorrow night against the bruins, we will be in a terrific position to get in. Tomorrow we cant bush-league it!
sonofabicuit!!
sabres/canes tied in regulation
COLLUSION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No, we don’t eric – not this year…
SABS WIN!
And there you go. 5 points to go.
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SABRES WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Albeit in OT :(
SCORE!!! Buffalos are wild!
Yes! Thank you Buffalo!
sabres got second point
BUFFALO WINS! Could’ve been worse.
Thank you Sabres!
I love seeing Gerbe next to Myers. It’s just like Gandalf with Bilbo
surprised it wasn’t goaled goalie interference
of if it was because was beyond the paint
Oh and I can finally take the “Devils make the playoffs” part of my screen name.
As ilb said, thanks to Enroth for Carolina’s lost point.
Hahaha! That Canes fan looks like he’s aboot to jump off a roof.
Now we have to take care if our bizz tomorrow and we’re golden!
He was outside the paint, jpg
It could have been MUCH better. I can’t believe that non-regulation carcillo.
I just got invited by a friend of mine to the game on Saturday against the Devils! Anyone else going?
What happens if we are tied in points with the Canes?
yes will be there.
sabres 90pts 35 reg/ot
rangers 89 33
canes 87 33
the rangers have lost the season series to both teams.
if we go 2-1 and canes go 3-0 we go home for the summer
ilb
i just re-read my comment about
“goalie interference”
i give you credit for making more sense out of
it than it deserved!!
mean to say i was surprised it wasn’t called and then noticed
that it was probably not called because goalie was outside the paint.
sheeeeeeeeeeeesh i’m tired!!
Scary!
anyone else on facebook?
and would like a free T. Rex show download?
will provide if there’s interest.
canes have det and TB…they aint going 3-0
I am CCCP. As are Fozzy, Krisy, and Mama.
I’ll be there Saturday!
So, what are the mathematics of this 3 point game and the Buff win? I know, if we win out, we can’t be eliminated from playoff competition, but failing that…....?
Pretty sure Canes will lose to Red wings and maybe the lightning.
yet another positive calculation from eric. The other way to look at it is, if the Rangers go 2-1, Canes must go 3-0. Pardon my math, but I don’t think 2-0-1 does it for them.
Jesse Spector posted Tortorella’s post-game presser:

Magic Number: 5.
Thanks Carp & eric – boy, nothing is easy or can be taken for granted!
Jimbo – The crowd tomorrow should be loud. The players should be ready. I think we should come out ready to play a full 60 minutes.
Wow so many of you will be at the game on Saturday! Maybe we can meet inside or afte the game for a beer :)
CCCP – Krisy will be there from Norway – her first time in NY. You definitely have to see her :)
I hope the crowd will be loud, and be mostly RANGER fans! We’ve had a lot of “invaders” there lately.
Boston is still fighting for the top points position, so they probably will come out looking to get the 2 points from us.
The crowd might be loud for a while, but then everybody will go back to their phones and blackberrys and to ordering food from the waiters and to trying to catch T-shirts shot into the seats.
Why?
Because NYC’s second most famous arena has turned into Nashville.
I’ll be there Saturday, too.
Carp, have I done something wrong?
If the crowd isn’t loud and trying to inspire the Rangers throughout tomorrow’s important game, and we lose, then the loss is partially on the crowd.
eric- suggestion. nice cup of valerian tea for you. gently now, pull those tickets from your pocket. I will give you full face value. slowly now..easy does it..
still in a good mood?
They do that T-Shirt launching at MSG now? Now, that’s bush-league!
Carp, I think that’s a tad unfair. You’re lumping all the lower bowl posers that you see from the press area. The 300’s and up bring it most every night.
I’ve been to several games this year and have seen a lot of good crowds. To be honest…they just haven’t played that well at home!
I trust these last three games will be very loud. Even the fair-weather fans will realize that the season’s almost over and check their BlackBerrys 10% less than usual.
Oh, if you missed the Carolina Buffalo game tonite, you missed one for the ages. It had everything. Continuous action end to end, speed on both sides with great hand coordination by both, great top speed passing and shooting on the fly, terrific goal tending, solid hitting and checking. To me it was the best played game I’ve seen this entire season.
( And I’d forgotten how really good a defenseman Corvo is.)
The winning goal in OT was actually anti climactic, because it was either team’s game, for that final point, but the action itself was the story here. Wonderful.
There was no quarter asked or given in this game, some chippiness but understandable, considering the stakes.)
I was captivated. Too bad they both can’t make the finals. THIS was what NHL hockey is all about.
oh yeah
i was only to watch end of first period and a small part of the second period of today’s game
because it coincided with my lunch break.
got to see the two goals and pk.
for the superstitious in the crowd.
yer welcome!!
OH, one thing that I forgot to mention following the Flyer Rangers game…............................
What has happened to Carcillo? No longer the poisonous little trap door spider that we learned to love to hate, he shuffles around now as though he
had to buy a ticket to get in. He’s been completely reduced to skating by people and glowering at them. Somebody, somewhere, did something really mean to him, and he doesn’t seem to have gotten over it. Just wondering.
Thank you jpg!
Sincerely,
One of Several Boneheads Who Caused the 2004 ALCS Collapse
just tired and in an obnoxious mood
i’ve been trying hard to stay away from all
the superstitious stuff
this year.
not completely cured but…...much better.
Maybe Laviolette told Carcillo that if he took any more stupid penalties and acted like an ass that he would be watching future games from the pressbox?
if my negativity bothers people (carp) I apologize. when you care so much about a team you want them to succeed. this franchise doesnt have the track record for success so I am always assuming the bottom will fall out. it doesnt make me any less of a diehard fan and the fact that i buy season tix doesnt make any more of a fan then any of you.
im afraid of failure so until they clinch a spot i will assume something will go wrong
fran -did your Billy Smith jersey arrive yet? wondering how it looks
And how does that help, Eric?
I was one of the hundred Rangers fans up in the 200s of the Wells Fargo aka Wachovia Center today. It was a fun game to watch. We endured a lot of heckling from the Carcillo Flyers fans, but we kept on cheering on King Henrik and the team. We went crazy after the shootout. The Flyers fans were saying; “You’ll be lucky if you can face us in the playoffs”.....
I SAY “BRING IT ON PHILLY!”
The Flyers fans were saying; “You’ll be lucky if you can face us in the playoffs”
Yeah, but they might not be so lucky if we face them in the playoffs, and I think that they know that.
I’m not scared of Philly. But, I am scared of Zherdev. Guy has four-five goals against us.
It’s amazing how our cast-offs always manage to exact retribution on us! Just amazing.
Yeah, and when they score, that’s when you reach for the Zoloft, Lexapro, or what ever your preference is.
LQ has been magnificent. I tend to have the mindset that by default, goals are not scored and therefore dismiss what a goalie does. But he has been great.
Fran, the best game I’ve seen all season was a Detroit-Calgary game early in the season in which Zetterberg tied the game with 3 seconds left and Lidstrom won it in overtime. It was insane. Awesome watch.
The only games that Zherdev plays hard or well are against the Rangers… because he wants retribution for Sather not signing his dumb skull to a bad multi-year contract… once we start knocking him around in the playoffs he won’t be so effective…
Zolov, Lexaprosky and a free agent play making center.
Tiki, why do you ask that?
eric, it doesn’t bother me so much as confuses me. how is it enjoyable to be a fan like that? how are you not basking in this game today and the good position it puts your team? Ii had an aunt like that … if her team was up 6-0 and the other team scored late in the game she’d be going, “Oh, I don’t like this.” Where’s the enjoyment? I don’t get it. That’s all.
I understand the negativity after a game like the one on Long Island, but I don’t get the constant waiting for the other shoe to drop in good times.
But, hey, that’s just me.
come on people now smile on your brother
Carp, Just asking. I hope I havent pissed you off again.
I agree. There’s no point in waiting for the other shoe to drop. Id rather hope for the best, even in the most dire circumstances.
Someone please tell me that I’m not a pervert for thinking Julianne Hough is absolutely adorable in that Proactiv commercial. For other reasons I’ll accept it.
She is beautiful, as is her brother Derek. Their parents had some great genes. She, unfortunately, is with Ryan Seacrest :(
I’m not a big fan of hers. She’s cute, but has no pizazz! Or “spunk” as Sam and Joe disturbingly say.
With 1 championship in 71 years, and not even coming close most of those years, I can understand the negativity. This is not an easy franchise to root for. But once you get pulled in, you can’t seem to leave.
Tom – one must remember that once you take away the ‘R’ and the ‘S’ all you have is ANGER…
LMAO people you know aren’t trolls, are trolls
let me get this straight were 2-2 against carolina but they own the head to head tie breaker because we won one of the games in the shootout???
the nhl is a joke.. they want the fans to take the shootout seriously but then they totally discount it when it comes to the end of the season?? thats truly gary bettman like…
DUMB!
It is pretty dumb. The shootouts are so meaningless now, so why have them at all?
Agreed, ORR.
So the Ducks had two goals waived off in the final two minutes of play.
Not Last!
Not last either.
everlast
Really??
what does “take the shootout seriously” mean?
We love the SO for it’s entertainment value (tell me you don’t, I’ll call you a liar) ,at some point you need a tie breaker, non SO wins sure as hell beats a coin flip? What do you suggest?
First in war, last in this place..
i don’t see how the ducks player “caught” the puck and let it drop
in front of him and it rolled to his left is considered a “hand pass”
it’s even possible that his stick did touch it.
(of course the ref was watching in real time but i still don’t see
how it’s considered a hand pass if it wasn’t thrown or directed
to someone else)
Buttman wants every team in the league to look like it is playing .650 hockey, in the standings. What a circus barker he is.
The Rangers have scored more goals than Washington, and allowed fewer goals than Washington, yet are 14 points behind Washington in the standings. Not even Einstein could have figured this nutty points system out. The Theory of Relativity was easier to define.
LMAO does it get any geigher than this? NTTIAWWT
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EjfLaimGjtU
LMAO 2X
Make that 3X for the hattie
C’Mon Man!!!
LMFAO… and we’re concerned with tie breaker rules in hockey!
That is so lame, I’m going to lose at least two hours asleep over it.
What the fugg is the fascination with that stupid song??
