Game 25.
First of three in four nights, and four in six.
Rangers still one away from 2,500 all-time wins.
Anton Stralman makes his second start as a Ranger, in place of injured Michael Sauer (concussion). Steve Eminger moves up to the second pair with Michael Del Zotto. Erik Christensen remains prucha’d.
Henrik Lundqvist in goal. Otherwise, same lineup that lost a five-game winning streak Monday.
Martin St. Louis was hit in the eye with a puck at the morning skate today, was taken to a local hospital, and is not expected to play for the Lightnings.

Evening gang! We ready for game time??
Dubi needs to get in a fight
seriously
ha they show a clip of Dubi stumbling around like an overpaid Voros
aha aha …its sad..
No little CTB tonight, Carp?
Did they buy you a salty pretzel Carp?
Yo Mickster!
Nope, little CTB stayed home. No pretzel, either.
which is good because these pretzels make me thirsty.
Carp what jersey was CTB wearing?does it match what the boys are wearing?
cause it was either that or ORRsy had his left clamp on the right side and vice versa!
Let’s Go Rangers!
Let’s Go Black Hawks!
FIRE SATHER!
Dubi may need a fight but I hope he doesn’t drop the mitts with Shelley…Prust sayin…
{{{Mickey}}}
Yup, home blues. ilb had the Heritage. I’m wearing a pinstriped LL Bean button down, XL.
Where’s Izzy?
one last thing about st. louis.
just read write up from daily news
and it said he was circling behind the net and a backhand from Dominic Moore
hit him.
huh?
didn’t think a backhand could do that much damage unless it
just him just right.
(thought it would have been a slapshot)
with that gotta give loads more respect to all those getting in front of shots.
OUCH!
PUMPED CARP BIGTIME!! I can’t be online during gametime tonight BOOOOOOOOO!!!
LETS GO RANGERS!!!
LETS not Go BlackChuMps!!

Morgue!!!

RESPECT
MANDLEBAUM!
No greg tonight?
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYY!
ah the patented “pass to nobody”!
Sam said Hedman,huhuh huh huhuh
UGH, c’mon Center Ice, stop being el stupido!
That’s fine Morg. You’re honest enough to admit you steal it.
wow The Hair can fly!
Nice moves by Mitchell but Hagelins speed created that play
Wonder if Rupp would have been able to make those moves
Downie needs a Prusting!
“Dubinsky lost it!”
No Sam, he gave it away
ARGH!!
ouch! noggin knocker!
2 minutes for head butting!
“Dubinsky lost it!”
he hasnt had “it” all season!
Stralman?
Stralman?
Stralman?
$500 to get away from Binghamton?
It may be worth it.
Mitchell and Hagelin dominated on their first shift.
And that’ll teach you not to mess with Henrik.
Jeeez, finally, cable!
6:36 Jones with the medical care… LOL….
theres the problem,he has a q-tip up his beak!
Looks like they just stapled his nose back on and sent him back to the bench.
Aaaaand… Sam has no idea what’s going on. Thank goodness for Twitter: Downie for tripping. PP 2
Cally!
CALLY BABY!
Capt. Cally!!!!
Woah! The Captain lookin’ like the Captain!
whipped that isht!
Sick wristah!!
Heh, Dominic “Fuhgetabootit” Moore…
Aye, aye, Captain! 1-nil.
Deflected….......
wow!!!! Nice shot Cally
Callllllllllllllllllllllly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Woooo!!!Cally!!! It’s a power play goal!
someone tell Jeff Woywhatchmicallit no more blind spinning backhand passes in the dzone,please!
Belated, but CALLY!!!
I’m sitting right next to Steve Whyzerman.
Tell em I said hello. He’ll know who I yam…...
Very undisciplined tonight T.B.
SLEW FOOT!!!
Rangers getting every call … could it be because they’re Winter Classic darlings this year? Maybe it’ll be like the Penguins.
Somebody next to us is constantly screaming:”Stepan, you suck!” Good thing I’m in medical field. I know how difficult it is for some people to live without brains.
Its a good thing they signed Stralman for the PP
Del Zotto needs to put that on net
Who is this Dubinsky guy I just heard Rosen call?
C’mon, guys! One more against Garon and he’ll be shaken…he started out looking like a Vezina winner…
Boyle sucks
gentle ben…back pass,weak as hell.
Hawks up 1-0 over Isles.
Fans already liquired up, ilb? LOl
Doesn’t Stevie Why want to watch the game?
LMAO, ilb…
Downie is the kind of player that makes you wanna kill him,but would probably be my favorite player if he was a Ranger.
BORIS!
horgen florgen gorgen shorgen
Boris you haven’t touched your blini.
ILBZO and C3, if you’re here, make sure you check your mail tomorrow!
Nice touch during the timeout, the Tortorella family’s foundation donated $22,000 or so to the wounded warriors.
Guess he might be human after all.
Steve Emmiger on the second D pairing scares me. Can we borrow Roszival from the Yotes for a few weeks?
Whyzerman you heff to be bryzgalov?
Wow, that is a nice thing for him and his family to do.
499 consecutive games played by Saint Louis.
Pretty impressive but he’ll never make it, he’s too small.
HAGELIN! I like it.
like that name Lin!
Rozi’s on the DL
ilb – If that person next to you is a Rangers fan, he/she has truly lost it. I hope it’s a Lightning fan.
lmao spider!
MORG!!
This Knicks commercial that they play 499 consecutive times a Rangers game is a disgrace.
Barry Beck- I was JOKING :)
Any Boris Mironov stories, Carp?
Barry – IR
I love Guy Bouchers facial ‘scar’ holy crap that thing is amazing.
I know and I know….
Just because they have only led after one period four times doesn’t mean they have been losing a lot. How many times have the Ning been tied after one?
Oh mannn
Gaborik is trying to dink the puck through NHLer’s skates tonight.
the Ning… the NING? lmfao
Bizzaro Rangers tonight
They’re playing the 1st period like its the 3rd!!!
Looks better than Del Zaster
I didn’t feel like typing the whole thing! Watching game on the computer! NINGNING
I get the feeling Joe Mich has never listened to a second of Boomer and Carton but acts as if he has on air. Not sure if that’s good or bad.
105 left Banj lol
Gaborik lost the puck again on the breakaway. whats up with him tonight? strange.
omg i so hope dubi scores…...
FOOOUUUUUUUUUR MIIIIILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLION!
Pretty nice period even with only one goal.
Way to try, Lil Man!
“The one and only captain.” LOL
Good first period.
Linda… he’s Alaskan. FOUR MILLION!
I can’t wait to hear what Messier’s mystery announcement that he’s playing in the alumni hand might be…
game not hand…
Got my tickets for Saturday’s game today! SOOO excited!!!
They could have had another goal or two – lots of chances early on….Mitchell almost had one..
lmfao Sally, i think that’s my favorite part! So subtle
Someone needs to pepper spray those 2 kids.
Sally!!
That reminds me I have to get my tickets for next Thursday!
MESSIER IN THE ALUMNI GAME!!!!
I thought sponsors’ logos were forbidden on NHL jerseys?
http://www.boltbus.com
i dont get Rangers intermission, i have to switch to the away feed for intermissions. blah
I’m listening to it again… duhBINsky! So funny!
Mickey, come to the game in Buffalo instead!
how about dubinsky? Great sliding action tonight!!
Don’t tempt me, Sally!
So @TBLightning responded to me on Twitter. Thanks for nothing, MSG. Lightning have led after one period four times. Trailing 9 times (record 2-6-1, now 10 times). Tied 14 times (record 6-7-1).
Lin!
Hey you guys, how’s the MSG 150 tonight? Wish I was home watching.
LW3H, its the Tampa Bay Gatorades actually…
LW3H – Do you live in Western PA? I see on your Twitter “97% rants against FSN Pittsburgh.” haha
Anyone surprised that Mess is playing in the Alumni game?
(crickets….)
CARP!!!!!! did my disguise fool you a bit? lol
Whyzerman just said he doesn’t know how long St. Louis will be out for. Just part of his [banned word] shtick, I guess.
Mickey, do it! It’ll be a great game! I’m bringing my friend but she’s refusing to wear my extra Rangers jersey :(
Wow, Derrick Brussard needs a better agent.
what word is newly banned?
NYC folks, where are we watching the Winter Classic?
She’s no fun, Sally.
I would, but I have to finish Christmas shopping on Saturday
Spider
God no. I couldn’t face living in the holy land. I’m just scarred for life from having Penguins broadcasts force fed to me. Thankfully, I can choose the home or away broadcast this year.
Carp, it never disappoints.
Sharp makes it 2-0 Chi Vs. Fishies
So since Messier announced his participation in the alumni game I guess tickets are now $300?
{{{{{OLGA}}}}} Fire Sather!
What the hell was DZ doing there???
lester patrick
oh well…......
Surprised they didn’t make the Captain wear a Classic jersey.
Lin, you look so different.
LMAO again, Felicity.
“Rangers coming to Buffalo tomorrow” YAAAAAY!!!
anyone else bored?
You goin’ Sally?
It’s my holiday finery!
Find out a week from today when my surgery is! woo hoo… good times
And breath..
nice play on the rebound
So if Kisio’s playing and Messier is playing what number does Messier wear?
LW3H – I pointed out to the Lightning on Twitter that Bolt Bus stole their logo. :)
Carp, byfug yeah! Got my tickets today! Sooo psyched!
{{{{{{{{LINDA}}}}}}}}}}
FIRE SATHER!
Just arrived at Trysil (a ski resort in Norwegianpansyland) after a 5 hour drive in thick snow. Coming in and seeing a bogus (?) call on Hagelin. What’s happened?
Stamkos whiffs.
Norwegianpansyland
I just snorted my iced tea. That is not a good feeling. Still, AHAHAHAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA
Kisio’s not playing.
at least it wasnt hot tea Mickey
Mickey, trust me, it’s panslyland, like the pansy game the refs calling this game… you could think they are next door…
Good point, Lin
Girardi looks mean these days.
Dubi almost got a shot on goal there. yea Doobs.
I thought he was???
RangerSwede, I just find the phrase pansyland hilarious
i like the snarl.
you don’t like your goalie get touched.
KICK SOME ASS BOYS
Nice toughness by Del Zotto
Hi Linda the chameleonahan
Surprised they got Moore for slashing.
{{{{{tomb}}}}}
Norwegianpansyland can be funny as well, especially the price of the beer
wowza, Hank
Wow Hank!!
what a SAVE!!!!!!!!!!!!
holy sheep! HAAAAAAAAAANK!
Nice save! clap clap!
how can anyone ever complain about our goalie? I just don’t get it.
That seemed inevitable….
saw that coming,awe carp
Ugh.
Kinda saw that coming
McDonut!??!?!?!?!?!?!?
McD finally got burned.
that’s the 3rd or 4th time he’s passed
to opponent on a bad clear
done over past several games.
oops. some of these learning experiences hurt.
Unassisted goal???
McDonagh should get 2 assists!!!
McD having a tough period here
Fire HBO
Carp, I’m Pisio’ed that Kisio aint playing.
I was kinda hoping to see the Paul Simon look-alike on the ice again
Not the best couple of shifts of McDonagh’s career.
Trade HBO to CBS for NBC!?
or the other way around
LW>> You got twitter?
“A bad giveaway”? Are there any good ones?
I will miss you too, Sam! :p
WOW!!!
Artie shortie!
AA!!! Such pretty passing!!
I wanna see Girardi drop someone!!!!
Woooo!!!!!!!!!!!
mad at Artie’s celebration?
Attaboy Dubi!!!! what did i say earlier?!!!
I was about to write time for a shortie….. I guess I just did.
Well, this game has a lot more fire and, um, fight than the one down in Tampa. 2-1.
duBINsky lol
Anisimovs antics after the goal
DUUUUUU!!!!
FRACAS!
Dubi was telling the lineman not to break it up!!! ha ha. I think
awesome celebration – well worth it…
Hunchback Artie!
Just means we get to hear the goal song a bit longer
Guess the Bolts don’t like stick shooting celebrations.
Um…I can’t believe my eyes. Artie Partie gives a little Chi Chi Rodriguez and then Throws his gloves!? Bergeron vs. Dubinsky!? MISMATCH
sheesh ANI wants a pound of flesh! Never seen him so freakin mad!!
Not in the best taste for Artie, I gotta admit…
i hope that ref doesn’t call Dubi
for 3rd man in
Rangers play alot better when they get mad. I hate the pansy shinny hockey Rangers.
I love these Rangers!!!!!
That aint cool
Keep that Carcillo in the USSR
LMFAO!!!
LOL the sniper! That’s an Ovechkin type move.
Hope Bloomberg isn’t at the game. Artie will get Plaxico’d.
AA-47….
I friggin love it. what did Ovechkin always do? I have no problem with that.
If you don’t like the way a guy celebrates his goals, don’t let him score against you. Bunch of crybabies!
Lol Orr!
How is Lecavalier not in the box?
Barry – Thinking on the same wave length.
Im listening to the Tampa feed. They are whining like a bunch of babies.
lol JB!!
I don’t blame Lecavalier one bit, though. I’d want my captain to go after the guy.
Fire, Anisimov!
JBytes , thats taunting. There is no place in sports for crap like that
i hope we win this cause wtf was wrong with Artie sniper shot celebration? bad taste fugg that!
and a TB PP?BS!
I am NOT proud of that move by Artie-Partie.
Another fight results in a roughing call for Dubi!? Nice!
that is total BS
There’s no place for that in Hockey? (per TB feed) How friggin hypocritical.
what are they, little kids?
Artie
i can understand the unsportsmanlike conduct
but
a double minor?
Why would they take Vinny L out of the box after they put him in?
can’t wait to hear torts on AA, you can tell he’s super pissed
Tsk, tsk Artie
wow horseship calls galore!
wow….......Downie needs to be done for the game
Told you we were due for some craziness.
Hysterical by Artie. Still laughing….
welcome to the Ntional Hissyfit League
He put his teammates in a venerable position with a childish celebration. I’d bench his arse next game if I am Tortorella!
downie just got an extra 10 for leaving
the bench or should he have received more for that?
What about Lecavalier who started the whole thing?
Ok I don’t like what Artie did there but we are 2 men down!? WTF? Ridiculous. They should have assessed even penalties. Downie came OFF THE BENCH!?
why is lecavlier on the ice?
he went after Artie to start it up
Not to mention that his team has to now kill a PP and it kills the momentum after a nice goal
Stupid thing for Anisimov to do, but no idea why that has to become a go ape-Carcillo punch in the head situation.
Stupid celebration but beautiful goal. Is that our first Shorty all year?
Downie should be done for the game for leaving the bench
How does Vinny LeCaptain not get a penalty!? HOW
So do you think Ovie or Crosby would’ve got 2mins for tounting and 14 mins for recivining punches??? This stinks all the way to Bettmans office… you get punished for scoring goals in this league…
Del Zotto has something against Morre tonight
Refs really screwed all that up. Downie coming off the bench? That’s a suspension. The Rangers should just take free shots at Tampa because apparently that will result in a PP for the Rangers.
full moon on the 10th..lunatics!
Man there is some venom in this game now
These guys are not going to WW77 after the game together, I gather…
Beer me.
MDZ has been wickyfied or something.
Moore is out of control.
AA double minor for roughing is ridiculous.
Vinny L started the whole thing, after AA asked for it, obviously.
Good, even up penalties again with MDZ and Moore.
Carp
hope you find out from refs/nhl why Downie didn’t get a game misconduct based on Rule 70 and 70.6
http://www.nhl.com/ice/page.htm?id=26481
I tell ya, Candice is mad as hell.
The next time OV celebrates like he does, he’d better get a 10 minute misconduct. I don’t at all condone AA’s stupidity, but 10 minutes? More examples of the incompetent officiating of this league.
Travis Hamonic-1 goal
Brandon Dubinsky-1 goal
Ovie does this all the time. Never a penalty.
Linda – They probably didn’t know he left the bench after goal because he was coming on for Connolly anyway. He should be suspended, though.
I like how on the feed I’m listening to, you can hear the arena in the background during breaks. Sometimes hear a little Sam & Joe.
Downie came on because Connolly went to the bench hurt, but it happened with Connolly still on the ice and the melee starting.
More officiating incompetency is what it boils down to.
MDZ is the freakin terminator tonight lol
How is Vinny not in the box? Because he did the right thing, not crazy about. The Artie move but god almighty let’s make this sport more corporate Hun? What will shanny do and how about a TB jersey coming up?
tomb, there’s no way in hell you can justify what anisimov did without sounding like an uneducated street thug. sorry. there’s some level of respect left in professional sports.
I kind of like it that hockey players don’t put up with that b.s. look what’s become of the other sports with all the showboating and taunting and dancing and pansy-ass handshakes.
Tortorella: “Avery. Go out and take a penalty.”
Actually, Downie may have been seventh player on the ice (including Garon) because Moore was skating to the bench.
Jim, totally agree, don’t condone the celebration, but the refs got this really wrong, you can’t penalize a team for scoring a goal and getting jumped. In that case, leave the fighting unleashed and get it back to the 70’s…
umm Jim you do realize that it was 2 mins for the taunting…not 10. 10 was for something else.
and, guys here were asking, too, why is it 5-on-3? Because it was still a TB PP when the whole thing broke out.
Totorella better hire a Russian translator after the game to talk to AA. Because whatever he is going to say wont be easy to comprehend if your first language is English, let alone Russian.
WHO PEED IN MDZ’s cheerios this morning! WOW
This is going to be FANTASTIC! on TV for HBO.
I also dont get how Dubinsky didn’t get a fighting major?
Artie should have done the Jagr salute instead
Barry
MDZ has a reason to go after moore.
he’s taking extra shots at Hank
rather that then past Rangers teams
that just watched and did nothing
it was little over the top I admit. He was excited.
Artie was wrong, but getting a penalty for that is just ridic.
Artie’s showtime on HBO?
how is it any different from OV’s celebrations. cause pointed at him? woooooo
Carp, I’ve lost respect for pitchers with all of the showboating after a homerun is hit.
Carp, what did Anisimov do wrong other than showboat? I didnt see AO get a penalty when he celebrated.
I think Artie just got himself some extra screentime on 24/7
jpg, Im totally cool with it.
I just dont think Moore did much on that last play
Anisimov will return late in the 3rd period i think, right? Would expect Tampa to go after him…that is if Torts actually lets him see the ice again
And those MSG idiots are just that: Idiots. Dunno who’s more incompetent, them or the NHL officials.
How the hell does Shitiletti keep his job? That fool was praising Prust for his great pass to AA on AA’s shorthanded beauty.
And when the melee started they were clueless as to what initiated it. On TV we saw like 2 seconds of AA’s stupid gun-shooting mime and it was enough to totally get what was going down.
Idiots….
Holy nuts with this game!
Apparently, Selanne did a machine-gun move in his distant past. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ptnM8KZwleg
Does that upset you Jim?
Torts is SEEEEETHING.
Good luck in the post game Carp. Promises to be a Larry/Torts bruhaha.
that was exciting huh?
BB: Does what upset me?
Carp,
We’re in lock step, never could stand the ESPNing of sports.
But that was a pisser, Artie doin’ that in that naive, 20-years behind the times euro-trashy way!
You gotta laugh.
The guy’s starting to really go and he’s feelin’ hit. Hahaha…..
Spider: Yes, distant being the key word. It was when he was with the original Jets. LIke 20 years ago. LOL
I’d luv 24/7 to show Torts giving AA an earful after this one! LOL
haha, Selanne wasn’t doing a machine gun…he threw his glove up and shot it shotgun style
Hockey is such a mental/confidence game. This might be Artie turning that corner.
I think he has shown glimpses of Malkin-like skill in the past. Yes very rarely, but I’ve seen it, I swear.
Who knows?
Mama! “Holy nuts” is right!
Well, Artie getting a 2 min for the celebration is totally ok, because that was stupid. But how can you agree with one guy coming from the bench and throwing punches to make that right? If we want hockey to be a sport where people only fight each other, i guess it’s all right. But how many times have we seen that from Ovechkin and it’s alright?
Get a grip, give a penalty to RT (a 10 min misconduct), fine, but how you get a PP from a guy scoring a goal against you and the whole team jumps him afterwards? Thats just bush-league… but what do I know, I like hockey, not fighting…..
Hawks 2 NYI 1 to start the third.
That’s what Im saying Tomb.
Artie’s coming out party!
Still laughing, can’t wait for the replay!!!
ANd yes, if AA goes back on the ice, things could get stupid, especially if Downie’s on the ice (and Tortorella should put Avery opposite him, if that’s the case).
If the score is tight, retribution will probably be muted.
Don’t get me wrong – the (over) reaction by the Bolts was just that, but let’s not dismiss the fact that if the situation was reversed there’d be all kinds of virtiol on here about the act. The Bolts are slumping and the coach called them out during practice yesterday about a lack of passion.
He just did something stupid. Dunno what’s more prominent – the stupidity of the act or how out of character it was for him….
Any updates on Crosby?
obviously they didnt see him come off the bench. not the standard for refs to be watching the bench after a goal is scored…
RangerSwede: The refs totally missed the Downie thing. They were too busy focusing on all the crap going down. The NHL, however, will review and suspend. Probably, though, for 1 game because it’s the gutless NHL after all.
3rd period is Avery time
yeah, i think it was Artie being naive
was surprised he did it.
it would be funny if it’s found that one of his teammates
told him he should do that AS A JOKE
and Artie didn’t understand that
and went through with it
Crosby is dead. So is Hope.
Bing and Bob, eh?
That would be great jpg.
Here comes the replay.
Gotta grab a beer!
you know thinking about it, it probably isn’t considering leaving the bench since it was after a goal and there are no substitution rules in effect.
Rod – well then I agree with you. you briliiant young hockey genius. wholeheartedly. I never saw that comment but I do agree.
All of the interviews, all of his play, I have never seen anyrthing like that. He’s a smart guy too.
Hockey culture is funny. It’s quite all right to bash another player’s brain in a fight, but your goal celebration must not be too offensive.
Rangers win this 4-0 Hank with the shutout.
The best part is how surprised AA is when they come for him!
Here’s some more moves Artie can try out:
http://youtu.be/t-Mo42B-KtY
there’s a bunch more in this series, pretty funny
oleo
here’s the rule
70.6 Game Misconduct Penalty – A game misconduct penalty shall be imposed on the player who was the first or second player to leave the players’ or penalty bench during an altercation or for the purpose of starting an altercation, from either or both teams.
mommy! he pointed at me!
AA should keep that stick up when he returns.
He’s still only 23, very young & obviously still green haha…
downie, a punk since he was semen
Der binger dead?
I’m dreaming of a white christmas, just like the ones I used to know…
Need to get one here….this game is waaaay to close…...
Tommy can you hear me?
Did anyone ever go after Teemu Selanne when he used to shoot his glove after scoring?
Well, Artie should be surprised since he’s seen several players doing the same (Crosby, Ovechkin for naming some) doing the same without getting penalized or jumped…. no surprise the rules are different for players… guess the NHLPA agree with the NHL on that… Hopefully Artie will be suspended for 10 games for it and Downie gets a $2500 fine.
AA now with 17pts in 25 games, and barely played the first month.
He was the only guy in the building didn’t know what was coming when he did that!
Nothing much to show for that PP….
Prust and Avery need to be on the point on the pp
why is Dubinsky on the PP instead of Gaborik for the 2nd PP in a row????
If Artie scores again tonight he should issue a tearful apology to the City of Tampa.
I’m sure every team (including the Rangers) would react in a similar way. OK, maybe not Buffalo.
But I’ve got less sympathy for the Lightning since they got all pissy over Linus Omark pulling a spin move in a shootout last year.
Jpg and jbyes, lol!
I don’t know – I seem to remember seeing a whole lot of outlandish goal-scoring celebrations in the past, especially after goals were scored on the NYR. seems to me like this was very blown out of proportion…
because the PP last two minutes. also because unlike some people, the Rangers coaching staff want Dubi to get off the snide.
That’s going to be a goal after review, I think.
See me, feel me, touch me
Girardi is gonna need a LOT of ice bags tonight
Remember Tiger Williams riding his stick down center ice after scoring?
Theres your horn Carp
Isles tied it up.
And who was going to say boo to him Olga?
If it’s a goal, they will have to put more than two minutes back on the clock.
i remember tie domi riding the stick too
See me, feel me, touch me..
Sandusky’s Theme song?
Guess not.
damn.
Dub1 becoming Dub2 no?
Please dont insult Tho Who.
Ladies and Gents: The attitude and accepted acts are much different today than they were 20 years ago.
Tie rode the broom at the Spectrum. That’s balls as big as the building.
tomb
doesn’t matter. You don’t take your best offensive player off the PP to get Dubinsky going, not in a 2-1 game no less…
AAArgh! Devs come from behind 3-0 to 4-3, Olga’s Hawks stinking on Long Island….
And Tiger went the whole 200 feet Olga!
So a Canadian Husky can celebrate, but not a Euro Russky?
Spitake Carp!
AA not far off the pace of one Bobby Ryan, who’s career high is 71pts.
Just saying.
Uh-oh, there he is. LOL
When (if) Dubinsky next scores, he should pretend to fire an imaginary rocket launcher. Or throw an imaginary grenade into the opposition bench.
Crosby update!
think Artie will get a shift?
Crosby update
Crosby has an upper body injury. He tripped on his lips
“Crosby update!”
NOT LISTENING!!!
NANANANANANANANANANANANANANANANA!!!
(COVERING MY EARS)
Carcillo just gave the Icelanders a PP with 3:30 left in a tie game
LW> I repeat. you got twitter?
Mama!
Oh, of course those MSG idiots show the Crosby/Kuntz collision, speculating on the former’s suspected concussion, missing altogether the earlier collision with Kreijci that probably is the real reason for all the noise.
Idiots.
Oh and Brett Connolly wasn’t picked 5th overall – he went 6th.
I’m assuming Shitiletti makes minimum wage??
Stupid pile of Carcillo… still thinks he’s a Flyer. They are the only team that gets away with that.
Hey Artie’s back!
ICK on the Big Lips update
Olga: Yeah, Tiger Williams can celebrate like that without retribution…20 flipping years ago.
Swede!!
Sorry…25 years ago…
Hell, i wouldnt want to piss off tiger williams if he was 100!
Way to save Girardi for final few minutes Torts!
WTH does he think we signed Stralman for?
Wow, bogus call on the Bolts… evening out… hate that stuff
Dubinsky and Boyle on the PP at the same time?
sigh
C’mon, guys – make them PAY for taking the penalties!
Rangers gotta put it away…
Olga, what exactly did carcillo do… my daughter wants to end his life lmao
Avery!!!!!!!
how many minutes HAS stralman played? I heard his name maybe twice, and once was before the game started ;-)
Come on RT, score a goal and do the same move, I’ll buy you dinner for the rest of your life!! :)
the Power of the Stralman
OT on the Island.
Swede
Uh huh. But only to follow XXXBiBiJones.
“McDonagh on his knees.” OK Sam
Carcillo got two for roughing by hitting someone after the whistle. A Flyer favorite tactic.
Sharp wins it for Chicago in OT.
have no idea why blackhawks signed him
LW>> ROFLMAO
9:50 midway thru 3rd for Stralman.
1:49 on PP.
3 x eddie: I hope your adoration with all things Avery I’m misreading as I did with that miami pimp dude….
Crosby Update: Crosby has an upper body.
[We now return to your regular scheduled programme.]
Carcillo still looks better in a Blackhawks jersey, than Jagr does in a Flyers jersey.
LW>> I’m following you, don’t know where, but probably somewhere stupid
Whats the call? Shoving?
Just saying a really good team would put this game away on this PP…just saying….
Malone always look innocent…
>>Whats the call? Shoving?
Not just shoving, it’s “shoving from behind”.
less than 3 mins left, rangers winning, on a powerplay, and all the crowd cares about are Potvins Ducks?
Eminger on the power play. Is Prust injured? lol
Fug!!!!!
of course…
Farkin’ disgusting!! Moore….
Lets go! One in a row!
Rangers never score on a PP if it really matters….
dammit
Bastid!
Heck of a shot
How aboot it…. Moore ties it up.
just knew that was gonna happen
and it was gonna happen by him
SOFTQVIST
nice job by Tortorella coaching this one. relegating Gaborik to the 2nd unit makes absolutely no sense and instead of possibly getting a goal, we’re all tied up
Oh stupid slow feed…..... Der….
you have got to be EFFIN kiddin me
Make me look even moore stupid…
All those PP chances, we get bupkus…..
McD having a tough game
McDonut having a game to forget…...
Jim 100% correct, lack of another pp goal
McD is having a nightmare game :(
11 shots since the first with 1 minute left….
Artie in OT!
looks like we’re playing like we crapped our pants
Puke-inducing…......dammit!
It would be perfect if Artie won this game in the shoot out.
I sometimes envy people who don’t care about sports, or a team. Sigh
Rangers have not really played well.
Are Sam and Jim payed of the away team?
BANJ :)
Big point!
Disgusting goal to give up to Moore.
McD’s been against AO, Crosby, Giroux and Stamkos in a week.
That can wear you down.
Hahaha i hope anisimov wins it in the shoot out and then does that gun shooting celebration right at the bench of the Lighting hahahha can you say “bench clearing brawl”?
McD from Anisimov for the game winner. Let’s go.
Mama>> What am I doing up at 3,38 am, a bit drunk, sure, but still…. ?
Mama
i agree with 1,000,000 per cent
Lmao laurel, i live with one of those people…
Can someone explain to me why Boyle got so much ice time on the PP in this game?
I know everyone was giving Larry Brooks crap the other day but he was right on the money.
Did John Mitchell see the ice at all after the 1st period? what about Avery?? He’s gotta stop rolling 2 lines like this and just send the team out and let them play.
STOP OVERCOACHING!!!!!!
>>>I sometimes envy people who don’t care about sports, or a team. Sigh
I totally agree with you, Mama…...this is a Prevacid game….
artie in OT then he’ll do a triple lutz a triple lindy and a triple whopper
True Blue>> First time in my life I’m actually praying!
Bush-league on that Moore goal
Micro-coaching
Or Nexium…
I think thats the first time i have seen MDZ miss a slap shot… sarcasm my friends
kinda works a bit better when ya roll those 4 lines, or at least 3 lol
A lot of shorthanded goals scored tonight. Three alone were in the Devs/Sens game
my friend jimmy on fb posted the pick of artie with his stick gun and called it anisimoving!! we need to use that lol
Boy, Stepan has some hockey skills….
Swede, holy hartnell, I just realized what time it is for you! I bow down to you!
Ping!
Mother!
Garon looking like a God!
sooooo many chances…
Now Garon is Vezina again….
I dont like dings in our offensive zone
A triple Lindy. thanks Linda. now thats a mental picture. great movie.
I hope Artie wins it in the shootout
the got more sogs in the ot than in all the 3rd lol
So ends the hockey portion of tonight’s game.
Wow, Del Zotto hit the net with a slapper!!!!
Skills?
cant remember the last time we had a shootout…
Wow
Lundqvist needs to win this. Also, somebody needs to score in the shootout, haha.
sounds like a wedding reception
Um, I was referring to skills competition, not Steppers!
Have the Rangers scored a shootout goal yet this season?
lmao tomb..surpassed by Easy Money lol
And soooooo many misses, or posts..or whatever…
Spider, you could work for MSG with that sharp analysis
LMAO @ “glorious chances”! I don’t care what anyone says… I love Sam.
here comes the Carp Competition!
Tortorella’s style is ALWAYS to reduce the bench in tight games, right or wrong, especially when the Rangers are putting 6 shots on the board a period, as they have in periods 2 and 3.
That will never change.
you think Torts is bummed that he didn’t
put EC in tonight over Dubi/Avery?
Mama> 12 beers kinda helps…
Let’s hope RT wins it and does the same celebration
Sally??
What is that hack song theyre playing to Immigrant Song at MSG????
The Rangers, whether they win the SO or not, don’t deserve 2 points, based on their play, IMO.
cling cling cling cling. I now propose a toast to the beautiful young Hagelin… oh hes not getting married yet? oh nevermind. read that article about his fans in Michigan today.
>>Carp Competition
That’s what we should call it from now on.
John Mitchell…. did he even play in the 3rd?
Jim, you complain more than I do!
Whatever will they do without WW and MZA???
Jim
the thing is though the Rangers had a very good 1st period. No reason to change course until at least the 3rd period…
mitch, rich, and rik
interesting
damn ice!!
bounced over Mithcell’s stick
And Christensen, Mickey!!!
jpg, then he would have lost in regulation.
Torts must have just realized that Mitchell was with the team…
Swede, we did not spend enough time together in Sweden :)
ANOTHER freekin’ post!
wow. Henrik to the rescue
OMG, Shitiletti can’t even call what’s right in front of him. First Mitchell’s failed attempt is because Giron ‘got the stick out’, then ‘the pad out’. Meanwhile, the puck bounced and Mitchell never got a shot off.
Geeesh….
All former Rangers OWN Hank
FUG!!!! !!
GODDAMN Moore!
Terrible game.
Moore must hibernate until he plays the Rangers.
phooey
Blame Anisimov for the loss
FOOK!
And we help another team break a losing streak…..
Id like to propose another toast….
Shitty lost point there. Trade everyone except Anisimov’s rifle stick.
2 game losing streak….
hands up!
who’s surprised by how skills competition ended?
(I meant a different word. Sorry Carp!)
Sigh. Double fug and hartnell. And no stick salute! Moore, grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Mama?
another ex Ranger or wolfpack
COMPLETE AND UTTER AMATEUR-HOUR … these clowns had no business losing this game. Morons.
No, Moore has lots of games like this. What that dude doesn’t have is passing skills. He’s fast, can shoot and checks hard.
Tampa looks like total TURDS out in the Mausoleum…...and then fight like mad-dogs here…..scumsuckers….
Nice save, Hank….
Torts missed big-time not using AA for the shootout.
It was his night, right or wrong.
John Mitchell?
Hope Carp is wearing a helmet with a visor for the presser.
Torts! di you not watsh the game? Gaborik had nofriggin touch tonight at all.
oh well. one point. woo hoo
>>Shitiletti can’t even call what’s right in front of him…
He’s sounding more and more like Chico Resch with each broadcast.
Carp
any way you can find out why Gaborik was taken off the 1st PP unit after the first period?
Two completely different games between the first period and the rest of the game.
I totally agree with Miami tonight – NO BUSINESS losing this game…None!!!!
Willie Mitchell?
Let’s all go blame Hank now…for a perfect backhander that was deflected and he had no shot on and for a perfect shot in the shootout. Instead you actually need to look back and see what Anisimov did was nothing more than stupidity and THE turning point of the game. And im not hating on Anisimov, im actually one of his biggest fans and supporters considering Ive met him and his family. We got 1 point….
Mama> No we didn’t, I’ll make it up to you and come over next year
And… no comments, but a Bettman bonus point. Good night!
Yo Miami Pimp: You gotta turn the sarcasm around the other way, because tonight the Rangers didn’t deserve 2 points.
They played well for a period and guess what? 3 points were handed out tonight and the Rangers got their fair share, based on periods played well/not so well.
Losing this game is worse than a blowout, even though they got a point – it was just a demoralizing way to lose….
and Jim
i don’t have a very good feeling
about playing sabres.
we usually have problems with their speed
and we’re a bit beat up right now.
Carp
Ask Tortosmella why Dubinsky AND Boyle got so much PP time.
Girardi; 32 minutes.
you ugly you ugly you mama said you ugly
i don’t think Gabby was having a very good game
during first period.
Torts was probably peeved that he kept trying to
make cut plays in the offensive zone.
also
i think he was trying to ignite Boyle and Dubi with pp time
I certainly don’t know him, but I would bet the farm that Anisimov had no idea that he was “dissing” the other team to such an extent. I think he was just overjoyed at scoring a shortie…
Sally!!
Ok, can’t handle the moroseness …. Though it’s been grand playing here on my iPad!! Til the morrow all…ta!
>>Trade everyone except Anisimov’s rifle stick.
I can already hear Mike Emrick on the Winter Classic, “And Anisimov rifles one into Bobrovsky’s bread basket.”
Night Mama!
yeah
i know that Artie moment ignited tb
but the turning point was all the power plays
that where we didn’t score.
score on one of ‘em and moore’s backhand wouldn’t have mattered.
1 for 6 on the PP, 0 for 2 in the 3rd when a PP would have put the game away.
You wanna be a top 4 team you score on one of those. This team, as much as I love they way they compete more often than not, is NOT a top 4 team.
I maintain they so need another top 6 forward winger and Cally’s miffed 2 on 1 breakaway in the 3rd (when it was 2 – 1) also would have put the game away is for me, another example of that lineup hole.
That loss is on John Tortorella
Now you company men can tell me how great he is
and we still have 11 games this month.
Torts better wake up.
What the Rangers deserved were tickets to the circus … because that’s where half these no-talent clowns belong.
A worthwhile wicky…Swede, don’t tease!!!
I guess we’ll get 2500 12/17 vs Phoenix. Well at least Tony will be happy.
I think he knew exactly what he was doing. He scored…skated for a few seconds and then did the taunt. I dont know WHY he did it, maybe out of frustration…but there was just no need for it. And I know that if I was on the ice, Id knock his face in, well as much as I could before the officials broke it up. Just put yourself in Tampa’s shoes (skates).
Games in Buffalo are very often horror-shows for our NYR…...I hope it isn’t so on Saturday.

>>Ask Tortosmella why Dubinsky AND Boyle got so much PP time.
Um, to “get them going”? To “jumpstart their offence”? To “get them off their schnide”?
the results of this game really piss me off
It’s like Moore had every intention of making himself a factor in this game- slapping at Hank several times, playing feisty all game, and finally tying and winning the game….crap!!
I think we all agree here, Duker – this one really sucks….
i agree, i thought Tortorella coached one of the worst games i’ve seen from him.
You can’t play the same 8 forwards and 4 d-men for the last half of the game. It doesn’t work like that. They get tired and dont have the same jump they did earlier in the game. I understand the penalties hurt but still no excuse for the Rangers to all of a sudden stop playing.
No cycling, grinding but i guess thats what Tortorella wanted…
Anisimov and McDonagh bury your team with horrific penalties and don’t miss a shift. Where’s the accountability, “Torts?”
And our home record starts to even out a bit…...
The celebration didn’t ignite Tampa Bay. Thats a load of crap.
The Rangers took the pedal off the medal once that goal happened. Tortorella put his trusted players on and protected a 1 goal lead with 35 minutes to play.
Unacceptable…
Paging—Zuke-a-shootout-hero, Wolski the tubman and Erik the invisible!
For Maloney to suggest that Anisimov’s celebration might have been the turning point of the game is asinine. Rangers had nothing going for them before he scored that goal.
Have to make sure you’ve got Dubinsky and Boyle out there so they can play the PP like it’s a penalty kill, right, “Torts?”
A team playing well wouldn’t have been in a shootout tonight – they would have scored a couple of PP goals and had this game won at least halfway through the third period….
the old ex- Rangers always come back to haunt the Rangers. tonight it was that blast from the past, Dominic Moore.
Barf-bag. That’s it….
Did they play well? No. Is it the end of the world? No. We all knew they wouldn’t win every game this season so I refuse to worry about a 2 games losing streak.
And on that note, I’m getting off line for the rest of the night. Hope you all have a good night, and remember its just a game, eh?
Wouldnt put too much weight into this one, screwed up December game.
What concerns me is Torts not having his finger on the pulse (especially of the offense, again).
Anisimov was the passion player tonight, right or wrong.
Spotlight on him and Mitchell gets the nod.
And Torts wore down Girardi & McD for nothing.
A terribly aggravating game though, Mickey – one of the most disappointing of the season so far, IMO…
Goodnight!
This was a terrible loss and of all people Domenic Moore (ex-ranger) plays like Wayne Gretzky at the end of the game and in the shootout to kill the rangers.
so, after gabbys crappy game and after he barely was able to hold the puck fo mor than a second without losing it, coupled with his 3 for 200 record in the shootout, he gets to go instead of cally? artie? step? even dz i would want in there before gabby. he has no moves at all. all he can do is shoot. and what does he do? tries a pathetic bakhand that looked like my aunt with severe rheumatoid athritis was taking that shot. hate these games were we give up late goals and lose. they shouldve beat the crap outt the lightning without st louis.. u really have to wonder why they were content to kill the clock on their 3 late pp’s instead of getting the 3rd goal. and as soon as tampa ties it, allof a sudden the rangers are dominating trying to get that goal back. trade everyone!!!!!!
Amen, Grabby – amen!
Thus endith the lesson.
new post.
