While I’m standing in the torrential rain covering a football game, I hope you are all happy and dry watching the hockey game.
Here, cut and pasted from Tom Gulitti’s Fire and Ice blog (he rules, by the way, and he also has some details on this afternoon’s rookie game, won by the Rangers, 5-4), is the Devils lineup:
Forwards: Ilya Kovalchuk-Jacob Josefson-Nick Palmieri, Mattias Tedenby-Adam Henrique-Petr Sykora; Rod Pelley-David Steckel-Vladimir Zharkov; Eric Boulton-Tim Sestito-Brad Mills.
Defensemen: Anton Volchenkov-Andy Greene; Bryce Salvador-Adam Larsson; Matt Taormina-Mark Fayne
Goaltenders: Martin Brodeur, Keith Kinkaid.
——————————-
I’m assuming that Wolski is going to start on the left of Richards and Gaborik, but that a number of guys are going to get a look there, including Brian Boyle and Mike Rupp, and maybe even Ruslan Fedotenko and Derek Stepan. If not tonight, then soon.
Here is the Rangers’ lineup:
Forwards: Brian Boyle, Ryan Callahan, Ruslan Fedotenko, Marian Gaborik, Carl Hagelin, Kris Newbury, Brad Richards, Mike Rupp, Derek Stepan, Dale Weise, Wojtek Wolski, Mats Zuccarello.
Defensemen: Brendan Bell, Michael Del Zotto, Tim Erixon, Ryan McDonagh, Michael Sauer, Pavel Valentenko.
Goaltenders: Martin Biron, Chad Johnson.

Stoned you N.Country!
That ‘C’ sure looks good on Cally

It looks like I’ll be watching this one with the sound off; I can’t take these Devils announcers. MSG better not pull this stunt during the regular season.

This one better not be as boring as the last!
Hmm, Deb Kaufman looks, um, fit.

I must say a win tonight (even if it’s preseason) will be a lovely start to my vacation
Trade Beer-On too
What a forced attempt at the ultimate tv announcer voice. The inflection is all over the place
1-0 Debbies
FIRE SATHER! linda
bummer.
I am here! Finally!
Why is this pig Cangelosi yelling over a preseason goal?
Stepan a step to slow to pick up his man
CalLindahan!! Mickey!
Fire Sather {{{OLGA}}}}
Hey Mickey, hey Tiki!!
wow, i think Cangelosi hit puberty on that goal call what a peter brady moment eh
And they are losing? And Chico again? YUCK
Hi Linda, Tiki!
Goodness that C looks good on Cally!!
i just mentioned that on FB mickey lol!!! and yes, i do have tears in my eyes lol
there’s been a Hobbit sighting
By negating that icing, MZA just upped his trade value. We still have a shot at trading for that 1st overall pick.
Just need to get that new brain for Stahl!
Bah, humbug!
andy kaufman lookalike deboer
And everyone’s fav cupcake and McDonad’s lovin goalie… FUN!
WOLFSKI!!!
BRICH!
RICHARDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nice goal, hah! LGR!!!
Allright!
lmao morg! i’m gonna call him Latka
Or is that Richards??
That was one hell of a shift by that line!
HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
Richie!! Cheapie, but we’ll take it!
Methinks Richards looks good as a Ranger!!!
WOOOO!!
>>Why is this pig Cangelosi yelling over a preseason goal?
Did he also yell on the tying goal?
yea the Pope is gonna get credit for that goal!! ALready earning his mega bucks!!
STEP=CHILD!
YEAH STEP!!!
WooHoo!!
Woo hoo Step!!!!!!!!!
WOOOHOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! STEPAN!!!!!!!
wow i am MASSIVELY behind you guys
WOW what a shot! STEP!
That’s a veteran shot right there.
Brodiva needs a quadruple bacon cheeseburger to get him going!
Steps! YAY!
lmfao, and a peach milkshake
thank you and ha ha Fatty take that 2-1
if brodeur keeps flopping on the ice like that, PETA might come and try to put him back in the ocean
And replace the buns with krispy kreme donuts
HOLY CARP! JB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HEY BUDDY!
lol Orr, and put a cup of mac and cheese on it too
so…. how’s everyone doing on this dreary night in the tristate area?
I can see that Brodeur is in mid season form.
The pig Cangelosi yelled on all 3 goals. This is preseason.
Pope looks good.
i’m loving the Brodiva jokes, you guys are in mid season form!!
lmfao Tiki why are you calling him a pig? I must have missed something over the summer lol
Aye Captain!
LOL! If you throw in mac and cheese, then the Devils wont have his full attention. Good for us though!
That’s what NYR fans should throw on the ice. Mac and Cheese!! That’s not racist, right? I don’t want to upset any Canadians!
the problem becomes, is it Kraft mac and ‘cheese’ or Velveeta?
Strange how Bryce Salvador’s concussion healing coincided perfectly with the Devils’ cap problems easing…
{{{Linda}}}
not ONE pitchfork yet!
{{{morgie!!}}}
Does with have lard in it, Lin?
LMFAO marty lost his helmet. tuck that 4th chin in tighter this time
lmfao Orr!
How did he miss that? LOL! That Devs going straight to the AHL.
when you sweat pure bacon grease your helmet slides off real easy.
NC.. he must be from SOUTHERN Canada lol
Flippin’ UN General Assemby Traffic in Midtown almost made me miss Richie’s goal!!
I’m watching live now.
Boys and girls, we are going to have a lot of fun watching this team this year…
I don’t get why he wears a neck protector. He has his chins to cover his neck. He doesn’t need a neck protector for his chins, because it would be a good thing if a skate blade cut them off, at least in my opinion.
Zucc playing well, good shot before, nice hit on Larsson, draws a penalty…
Wait…we’re throwing mac and cheese on the ice? Awesome!
Orr, i think it’s so the puck doesnt get lost in the rolls if he gets hit in the neck
LOL! Bacon grease. That’s why Broduer flops so much, it’s just an excuse to lick off his bacon grease sweat off the ice.
Haha! Makes sense, Lin!
holy carp i missed you guys so much! i’ve done nothing but crack up the past 25 minutes lol
Boyle should be directly in front of the net…not in the slot…JMHO
Meh, both Wolski and Richards on the PP?? I don’t like it. Too risky.
LW3H,
Lou Lamariello always finds ways to con the system.
On the point, I mean.
MZA is skating very well….just sayin’!
Is EC playing?
Roly poly Marty tonight.
Stop it! You guys are ruining bacon grease for me….
wow he so looked like a weeble there!!! i wonder if he has a tattoo on his butt that says FISHER PRICE
LMFAO OLGA!! ruining bacon grease.. too much
poor Carp, gettin drenched watching a football game and missing all the hijinx here tonight.
Marty has a waffle on his blocker. And three or four stashed inside it.
lmao LW, he has some syrup in his stick
ORR I thought EC was playing when I saw the #26 but then I realized it must be in imposter because he was actually skating and not gliding. 26=Feds now.
For such a little guy, MZA plays a lot bigger than Wolski.
Hey guys that mac n cheese that were throwing is it cooked or right from the box?
cooked but not hot lol
Agree on that, JB…
LOL! Feds taking EC’s number. Torts will take away his roster spot, then Avery will take away his nightclub privileges. Then he’s screwed.
were his nightclub privilege reinstated over the summer??
It has to be cooked, NYR-2. Need to have the trail of hot cheesy slime on the ice.
you got it Linda
Why in the world would a fan dress up as a ref and sit in the stands and try to make calls? How strange.
Sauer seems to be skating well, looks healthy
Stourl has been invisible in this game. The Oilers will be regretting trading for that bum now.
Wow, Marty is just pudgy…isn’t he?
Also, they really play cheesy music at the pebble.
I think so, Lin. I thought I saw pictures of him doing the macarena at some club. Maybe it was some other guy who looks like he has AIDS.
Winston that dude is there EVERY game. He’s a season ticket holder
The Crock plays the worst music in the NHL. They play a lot of 90’s club music. Ugh! Isles play crappy music too!
great stream. thanks!
Gaborik looks fast tonight
LMAO! LW, the Oilers?
miked!! :-)
Missed the first period, but I’m here now. Finally!
26 days ‘til NY!!!
I dont know. Wolski hasnt impressed me that much yet. I watched him here in Denver. he has flashes if he gets the puck and has room, but damned if he creates any.
Richards looks good though. I think Dubinsky would make that line friggin awesome. Gaborik and Wolski I think are too europansies and will never create anything unless they have open ice. nNot good together. but its early I know.
Nice shot Stepan. he is for real.
In NHL12, I traded Wolski and some other crap for the Flyers 1st round pick, and they completely tanked. So, I’ll be getting a 1st overall pick. Love it!
Tomb, sometimes you need to spread the wealth, you know?
ha ha ha. I need all the wealth I can muster these days.
Daneyko is slurring his words as he calls the devils sloppy.
Could hardly call Wolski a europansy… he moved to canada when he was 3 so never really played on Euro ice.
i hate streaming the game while I’m here. I can’t multitask like that!
lmao mickey i either need a bigger monitor or dual monitors
Beth, he still has that Euro Pansy blood flowing through his veins.
I sure can. thats exactly how he plays. maybe its in his genes.
did he just say gilya ?
Weeeeeeeeeeee! Butt-Chin?
yes!!!!
Did Joe Mich really just use the term “metric presence” to mean having money? Beninati would be proud of that one.
GABAGABAGOOOOOOOOAAAALLLLLL
We want the cup?
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
looks like Gabby and Richie have some chemistry
I’m starting to get really excited for this team this year.
these guys are gonna be soooooooooo much fun to watch this year
bell looks real solid
Me too Beth. I’m anxious to see what good things are going to happen this season!
Gabby looks FAST and healthy!
nice D sour!all over ilya
So close!
EC stole his number back from FedEx there.
the devils coack looks like Cousin Eddie from National Lampoons Christmas Vacation!
debbies will be playing the trap by Nov.or they will rerehire lemaire.
CT!!!
nestled? or NESTLES
I bet he drains his RV’s waste tank outside the Rock.
Kovalchuckle’s been pretty quiet.
Nestled?
Hahaha Cousin Eddie! He does look like him!
What a weenie penalty call…
Penalty for Petty Larrsony
Dammit….
Trade Richards
TRADE RICHARDS! horrible turnover
haha
Jacob, Joseph’s son, scored. Lame!
...oh wait we cant for the next 9 years?
Biron using Lundqvist’s old glove?
Cam Talbot would have saved that one!
where the hell did Tiki go??
And Richards needed $7 million for that?
Either his glove or his shoulder…...
LOL! Nice fall!
I am actually really liking the play of this Bell guy
Vtenk got nabbed by the blue line monster.
TRADE VALENTENKO
Need to trade Biron and Lundqvist for a couple of those goalies who never get beaten over the glove, like every other team in the league has.
When’s Rupp gonna fight?
Jagr with a goal and an assist.
LOL! Another Flyers player received a five minute major and game misconduct for a hit from behind.
That’s two for the Flyers this pre-season. It was some prospect.
>>Daneyko is slurring his words as he calls the devils sloppy.
He probably was trying to not utter the word “seconds” next.
Erixon getting beat by some no-name. Not good!
Oh Wicky’s not gonna like the soft stick checking Erixon.
Game Over
Season Over
Get rid of Noberries.
Bloody hell…..
Well at least he is on my fantasy team =/
I hate Kovalchuck
Do we really want Captain to be blocking shots in these meaningless matches?
i’d rather let up that goal in preseason than have cally block it and break something
ORR, are you watching a Flyers feed? Where?
well dang
Where’s Avery? We need him out there to torment Kovalsuck….
Is it really Chich Resch-Sykora?
Ugh….
I’m just scoreboard watching, Jimbo.
Enough penalties already! Jeez!
Vtenk doesn’t look like he’s stealing anyone’s job quite yet.
Sykora is an enigma – no matter who he plays for, he kills the NYR…...
Oh – OK, ORR – thanks…....
>>Where’s Avery?
Manning Warren 77.
>>Sykora is an enigma – no matter who he plays for, he kills the NYR…...
Especially when he played for the Rangers.
lmao JB
lmao danyeko just sounded like daffy duck
Yes, you’re right, JB – for us, he couldn’t find the net…....
Daneyko: Broduer came into camp in tremendous shape
....
uhhh yeah….ROUND
So, I guess Deb took Cangelosi’s place being one of the between-periods stooges with Daneyko, eh? God, she’s gonna be overexposed this year….I’m sick of her already…
Round is a shape.
tremendous, the perfect adjective for him!
8 minutes ‘til FRINGE!!
Devs keeping Porky in net for the whole game, eh?
Enough with the close ups of marty’s doughy head!
Wonder if We will improve on face offs this year?
They have to, Jimbo, it’s the only way he’ll burn some fat.
Guess that’s the answer, ORR – damn! Gabby had a chance there…....
Marty gives whole new meaning to the mighty ducks term “cake eater”
Marty’s surface area is determined by pie arse squared.
Haha! Broduer as a kid!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2T_obaO46Bo
Don’t take away his bacon!
Another Power play chance. Do something this time…
Weise just killed someone!
Rangers kill off another power play…
Nice giveaway by Del Z.
I have a strong feeling NYR fans will turn on him this year.
if he secures a spot
Isn’t Steckel the guy that cause all of the Crosby updates?? He better not try that crap with any NYR players.
When did the Devs pick up Schmeckel?
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Yeah!
Bell!
Waive Eminger! Bell is our 7th d-man!
Faaaaaaty faaaaaaaty
Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarty!
“You can ring my bell; ring my bell.”
Hahahahahaha take that cake eater!!!!!!!!!!
AdamRotter Buzz: Pavel Valentenko Could Head Back To Russia
Ruh roh!
Rupp manhandling Boulton.
Rupper!!
Rupp Roh!
>>Daneyko: Broduer came into camp in tremendous shape
Marty is rotund for success.
Waived off….
Hahaha!
Muahaha!
No goal!
DeBoer DOES look like Latka!
>>Rupp manhandling Boulton.
He got rupped?
NOOOOOOOOOOOo
lmao Jimbo
Broduer came into camp in tremendous shape
A Huge Difference.
Nice little give-and-go.
LMAO @ DiPietro giving up six goals.
Butt-Chin with a penalty. Unreal!
ok im fully ready to choke Chico to death.
Grachev scores for the Blues. Three goals in the pre-season (one empty netter)
“Thenkyouveddymuch!”
Pretty good game!
Wish the season started tomorrow!!
Screw Kovalsuck!
Chico makes sure to add in that this is a pre-season game. he cannot take any loss like a man.
Yay! I love a good victory over the devils!
I love beating the Devils. Even in the preseason
Good game!
Good win. For those that didn’t want the Rangers to sign Richards what do you think about it now? I know it’s just an exhibiton game, but he was really good.
Let’s wait for the whole year to wrap up before we judge Richards or the people that didn’t want him.
decent preseason game, gabby and richards looking pretty good. I have my doubts about MDZ.
Grachev scores again…
Is Ken Daneyko wearing a Stanley Cup ring? Gosh, that’s a tad goofy.
boyle, cally and feds had a pretty quiet game though, i thought
>>Grachev scores again…
I hope he makes the big club.
I always thought trading Grachev was a mistake…he has talent and can play…I wouldn’t have gave up so quickly…
There’s no guarantee that the 3rd rounder we got for him is going to be a pro, even at the AHL level…just sayin’...
my wi-fi is unavailable til cable guy
comes ‘round on sunday
so
who got the winning goal
(was going to ask if i missed anything
but i’ll save some of the sarcasm for later in the season)
Agreed, Mickey!
It was more his call though…I believe he asked for a trade..
Valentenko did not look very good. Erixson looked pretty good except for his penalty. That was pretty ugly.
>>I have my doubts about MDZ.
He played with a bit more edge tonight, but he frightened me every time he tried to carry the puck out of the zone. If he continues to play like this, he’ll be Whaled, for sure.
Any time we beat the Devs it’s a good game!
Yeah, Slats made it seem like he had no choice. Grachev was unhappy with the Whale. Blame it on the coaching down there, I guess.
brendan bell had the winning goal. he finished the game with 1g, 1a.
It’s always sweet when we beat the Devils!
Blame it on Grachev for not producing very well, either – if he showed something in Hartford, he would have gotten a better shot at making the big team – and they brought him up a couple of times, and he didn’t show anything up here, either….
Working, what wad final score and who looked good and bad?
Stepan was not their in the third. Anyone hear anything on him?
Wicky,
NYR 4-3
not sure why Grabachev’s name is coming up but boy was he a dog. Typical europansy…
Was Brodeur a victim of bad breaks or out of sync and maybe out of shape.
Gaborik was in mid season shape sans injury missing a wide open net and a dumb preseason penalty
And what was the point of the fight near the end of the 3rd? This is preseason , I think the refs should have broke it up ,or do we need more deaths next summer ?
It looked very wwf ..
and the Devs coach reminds me of Andy kaufman.
Maaaaaaaarty did get a few bad breaks – a couple of goals against him had “eyes”....but he didn’t look terribly sharp, either…
Gabby had a goal, but could have easily had one or two more….
I think the fight was Rupp’s way of saying “hello” to the Devs fans again….and letting them know he’ll be pounding on their butts this year…
DeBoer definitely looks like Latka Gravas (Kaufman) from Taxi – he should wear white coveralls behind the bench for every home game!
Everybody either went out clubbing or went to bed early!
Hattie!!
Great game!
Rupp = HUGE
Kovalchuk = Beast
MDZ = Meh
Chico = D-Nuzzle
BRich + Gaby = Magic
This team will be fun to watch during the regular season
LGR!!!!
so i think we found a top line eh?
b rich and gaborik = band aid line
Looks that way oleo…..would have been nice to score another on the powerplay, but it’s early…
Bubblehead
Thanks
Cccp
Thanks for the update!!
How did vtank and bell look?
new post.
the goals were nice but need to be taken with a grain of salt b/c Brodoor was horrendous tonight and the Devils didnt really bring their best players other than Kovy.
Regardless, Richards showed a little glimpse of why he is so much of an upgrade compared to Anisimov, Stepan, Boyle etc. Tremendous hockey IQ and an excellent passer. You could really see him and Gaborik clicking especially on the PP.
Nothing was more frustrating than seeing the Rangers PP struggling so much to get the puck into the zone. Richards is really going to change that…
