Just got done watching…what a turd of a game…
LOL! Poor Noah. 0-6.
And Sally & Beth, both 1-5.
I BANJ’d. Sigh..
BB lost the Caps when he benched Ovechkin, who has been sulking ever since. That is not the way for a captain to act, if you ask me. He needs to man up, deal with the fact that he can’t do whatever he wants on the ice and do what the coach tells him to do.
mickey
I agree girl
the bahama bomba!!!
You are correct, Mickey – in my opinion. Look, we all saw the footage where Ovie called Boudreau a “Fat Byfuglien” behind his back when the coach didn’t put him out at the end of a game when they had a power-play…and he’s the team captain for goodness sakes!
And you know that Ted Leonsis isn’t gonna be trading Ovie away, no matter what he calls the coach….
Carp, the Rangers outhit the Habs 28-15? I must have missed seeing all those hits, except for the one by Devo…..
Who’s quote is that, wicky?
orr
this is for you, I think you should send a few you tube invites out!!

Happy birthday btw!!!
He’s not the same player he was a few years ago, either. I never believed that bs about him changing his game, I think he’s just lost something from his game.
Hawks put Emery back in the net – I guess he hasn’t had enough punishment for one night!
NYR
I said that a couple of weeks ago on here and then someone on the hot stove said something similar tonight which reminded me that I had said it.
It sure looks like it, Mickey – but he’s not that old – he’s in the prime of his years now. Unless he’s having some off-ice issues, I can’t imagine what could be wrong with him. Substance abuse? Drinking problems?
6-1 Oilers…..
Jimbo, I think the Hawks play tomorrow, so they don’t want to overwork Crawford. Might as well, cause the game is over.
I heard aboot that, Wick. LOL! Good idea!
Nugent-Hopkins with three assists. I’m just destroying Bull Dog! Aha, Aha, I ♥ it!
>>>orr
this is for you, I think you should send a few you tube invites out!!
Good for Mila!!! That was a great thing to do…..
Didn’t the Hawks play last night? They wouldn’t play 3 nights in a row…...?
Maybe they play on Monday evening? But you’re right, this game is over – Hawks don’t look like they have the legs tonight to come back..
Actually, you’re right, Jimbo, they did play last night. My mistake. Maybe Crawford hurt himself?
Crawford may just be exhausted, or under the weather – he saw a lot of rubber last night and didn’t play well at all….maybe he’s got a bug….?
Jimbo… unless those rumours of him using steroids before are true…
Maybe he caught the Carcillo virus? Can’t be around him for too long, or else you’ll get it!
That is a great idea, wick!
Yeah, ORR – send out a Youtube video to some of your supermodel friends asking if they’ll join the Bonehead men for a night out on the town!! ;-P
7-1! LOL! Olga is probably getting the rope ready
Yow! 7-1 Oil…..
Carcillo virus – I love it!
I’ll have to come up with a sickness though.
Steroids? Wow, that would be something…...he sure doesn’t look like the same player, that’s for sure.
4 point night for the rookie.
Blue-ballitis?
7-2! Comeback!! ;-/
LOL! Blue-ballitus! These celeb chicks would totally fall for that too!
Absolutely!! it’s worth a try, ORR! they’re usually liberal, so they’ll buy anything! ;-D
7-3, now!
Khabibulan is killing me.
Actually, no goal. Carcillo interfering with the goalie.
8-1! Wow!
8-2, rather
TRADE EVERYONE! EVEN CARP!
Still, we have to tell Olga not to do anything rash – it’s only 2 games…..
Watching the Hawks get destroyed is making this NYR loss a lot easier to take. A loss might be a loss, but this Hawks game would be hard to watch if I were a Hawks fan.
Trade Carp? We can’t trade Carp – who will be the Generalissimo of RR!?
Jimbo, yeah those were the rumors about him..
I’m kinda feeling the same way, ORR – Hawks are #1 in the league, points-wise, and even they can get owned by 2 teams that are clearly inferior to theirs…..
But still, Gabby and Dubi need to score some goals here – effort is nice, but results are nicer!
No kidding, Mickey? That’s unfortunate, if true – it had to be a long time back, though – they’re constantly getting tested during the season now, I think….?
Something is bugging him – clearly, he’s not “himself”.....
Dublowsky is horrific. He’s lucky to even have a goal. A lucky tap in. He really hasn’t done much. Ugh! Something’s wrong with the kid. Seriously pissing me off! He’s supposed to be one of the most important guys on the team, and he’s playing like a 3rd liner. So frustrating!
I mean, everybody looked catatonic tonight, but they need to have their big guys scoring more goals – Gabby, Dubi, Cally and BRich need to put some in the net.
Gabby’s been playing hard, but he still only has 4 goals…Dubi with that one…Cally & BRich are doing a bit better, but hell, Kessel has 14 goals already! the season is 1/4 over…
True story, Jimbo. I agree something is bothering him, not sure what though
I thought Butt-Chin has 8 or 9 goals.
Taylor Hall with the hat trick. 9-2
9-2…...yowza….
Nugent Hopkins – 5 assists. I wonder if that’s some kind of record, given his age.
I thought I heard Sam say 4 goals for Gabby – I could be wrong, though….I’ll check…
Butt-Chin – 9 goals
Apologies to Gabby – he has 9 goals…my mistake!!! Sorry, folks…
Yes, I checked his stats…..bad Jimbo, shut up!!
Boring fight between Carcillo and that Oiler.
Yeah…...looked like neither one of them had much left, energy-wise….
We still need more up-front scoring from our top 6 players, though…..
Maybe he needs a girl friend, Mickey – or a boy friend! ;-D
Oilers win it 9-2. What a game. Had a few chances in the final minute to make it 10-2.
I wish NYR would have a game like that.
Yeah, ORR – a “bust-out” kinda game…...would be nice. And the Oilers had it against another western division team…ought to be an interesting game next time Edmonton visits Chicago!
Canadian teams had a clean sweep against US-based teams tonight, aside from Ottawa, that didn’t play…
So frustrating to see the Rangers regress after 7 wins, especially against the Canadiens, who don’t seem great. Terrible defensive zone passing, impotent offense, iffy goaltending. Torts should have called a time out early on—the pace was way too hectic for this team.
Oh, well.
Agreed, Chris – Habs just lost to the Fishsticks a couple of nights ago – true, they had Budaj in net, but the way the NYR team was shooting tonight, Johnny Bower (at his age) could have beaten them tonight…
love how the ‘heads keep it going til the wee hours of the morning
I can’t sleep. I’m just too excited to see the return of the fire Torts crowd. It’s like waiting for Santa!
HO HO HO. FIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIRE Torts-mas.
officiating stunk. cally hook, no friiggin chance.
overall lousy effort. prust played pretty good and that was about it.
SHOOT THE PUCK AND HIT THE NET.
Ain’t it cool, Mickey!? And even after a miserable loss!
two positives from the game. First off, Prust played well, so maybe the time off has helped him a bit here. Secondly, the game is over.
3, i still like the way the bahama bomba played
when is the trade deadline day this season?
orr
chunky monkey….that’s right DO SOMETHING!!!
Orr:
Dubinsky’s playing a third liner because he is a third liner
Also, Biron looked a whole lot more like a back-up tonight
The stunk the joint out but that was to be expected eventually. Total non-effort from the Rangers, horrific officiating and a long winning streak that had to end at some point. The lone saving grace was that Scott Gomez still hasn’t scored since February.
playing like a third liner…
anyway, I think at his absolute best, Brandon Dubinsky is a 2nd line NHL forward. The remaining 95% of the time he’s a third line forward and is horribly overrated by Rangers fans.
Could be true, Lloyd!
Wick, I don’t think I’ve had that! I haven’t had B&J in a week, or more. Plan on getting some probably Monday.
By the way, how aboot Taylor Hall? Looks like our trade finally worked in your favor!!
6-0!
orr
get the monkey…and finally!!!!
3-3
This will safely be Carped, so I’ll put my hater hat on and rhetorically ask whether the following piece of partly-plagiarised hyperbole would be agreed with by its original author:
“I think at his absolute best, Sean Avery is a 3rd line NHL forward. The remaining 95% of the time he’s a fourth line forward and is horribly overrated by Rangers fans.”
Bet some or even many will take exception to this, and I hate to say it, but so far this year, Philadelphia is the class of the league. When you consider their trades of top stars, this is scary, for the long-term implications and for the amazing immediate upgrade to the team in what should be a rebuilding phase.
Long way to go and at various times Chicago and Washington I had ranked on top. They are down now and, my God, is Boston ever coming on strongly, after that wretched start. Rangers I have as a solid third-best in the league, right now, off their impressive winning streak, but…... we shall see. Really need a healthy Staal back, so badly.
