Game 28.
The end of the first period is the one-third mark of the Rangers season.
Ya boys on a two-game winning streak, playing their fourth game in six nights. They have points in 16 of their last 19 games (14-3-2). They are 8-2-2 at MSG.
Brad Richards plays his 800th NHL game against the team he left as a free agent in July. Henrik Lundqvist in goal. Same lineup, which mean Sean Avery is prucha’d.
Just thought I’d mention that the Giants beat the Cowboys 37-34 Sunday, in case any Dallas fans are stopping by. Pretty mature, huh?
Also, the NHL wimped out, showed no stones at all, on the Steve Downie thing. I just wanted to mention that again.

Evening gang.
Sue me for being late, I was doing dishes.
LGR!!!
CCCP starting a Mexican wave in the expensive seats a minute into the game…
Somebody throw him a T-shirt.
Oh, don’t even get me started on that, Lin! It’s amazing! I wanted to cry when Target didn’t have it. It’s only sold at there, apparently!
BYFUGLIEN!!!
Center Ice is only showing the dallas broadcast
at least i have Rangers radio broadcast
Is Joe Mich the only person in hockey that says “All World” when describing a goalie? I’ve never heard anyone but him say that.
good woman!
{{{Mick}}}
Rangers look like they’ve been shopping all day
and having an eggnog lunch.
just a little zigzaggy
Torts just looked to his left and waived Sean Avery.
Was that a new Ranger song?
It’s like a library in here.
FIRE SATHER {{{{{OLGA}}}}}
Yea, ORR, I think there are 4 that are only available at Target.
Heath Bar Crunch and the coffee one are good also
bahaha!
LW!
everything sounds witty-er with that brogue!
MICKEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I told CCCP to stay out of the coat room.
Sssh, Carp, you’ll wake them up
{{{{{{{{{{{{{{LINDA}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}
Lin, this Pit Bull guy in the commercial looks like an asshat.
shhh Carp dont disturb, it IS finals week.
Where’s Izzy. Working out with a medicine ball?
Not much energy. A snoozer so far.
Carp, GameCenter doesnt give me commercials or Rangers intermission anymore, but I know exactly what commercial you’re talkin aboot and YES… ASSHAT
Stars announcer just called Girardi, JOE Girardi.
Assenclown
Ugghh! Last year Dublowsky would have shot that and scored.
GOOD GAWD!!
Dubi isn’t even paying attention for a rebound!!
Ich sah zu meiner Linken und hustete.
i didn’t have a complete problem with
Dubi passes to man open in the middle
he wasn’t at a fantastic angle
but
he should be getting ready for a
possible rebound.
Hockey 101
Fistric!!
that sounds like that should be a new
Bonehead curse word
idiotic drop pass Gabby
Joe Girardi plays hockey, Mickey?
was that the 3rd or 4th star
who got knocked to the ice
almost a Bonehead hat trick!
now?
Hey all, just got home and am going to watch the game from my favorite position…collapsed. In case you missed this in last thread, fyi…
On Jan. 2 for the Winter Classic, we have some out-of-town heads in town for the holidays, and we’re meeting up in NYC for the game. Care to join? Place TBD based on number of RSVPs. E-mail me at lbabs@aol.com. TA!
And LGR!!!
Dubinsky shot that wide.
Shocker….....
What in Holy Hell?
I DID IT!!!
but now with all these posts and no one
else around it’s beginning
to feel a bit
masturbatory
Guess what, the Rangers and Stars are skating. Shocking, I know…
Apparently so Manny.
Good Lord, this is a snoozefest so far. I’m exhausted enough that the game might put me to sleep.
strange game…skate and skate and skate very few interruptions….
watch the language, jpg.
Izz? did you lose your Y?
speak of the Mandlebaum!
Dan Lacuture
Classic
This is Dubisnky’s night. Count on it!
BS call! C’mon!
How is that a penalty on Hagelin? The goalie is nowhere near his crease.
Like he could stop..
That might be the worst call in the history of hockey.
BS call!!!
Thats what the crease is for!!!
bs call,straight bs
HOW IN GOD’S NAME IS THAT A PENALTY!?!?!?!????? THIS IS THE WORST CALL OF THE YEAR SO FAR!
If you can’t go for the puck there then you just have to GIVE IT UP.
I AM GOING TO LOSE MY MIND
really???????????????
wadda fuggin joke
B U L L C A R I C I L L O!
Haglin tried to stop
Torts just said “Where is he supposed to effing go?”
that was bull carcillo!
BS. Total BS
This league is an absolute JOKE!
Disgusting.
C’MON!!!
there was NO WAY Hagelin could have avoided goalie!
CARCILLO!
biggest bs call of the season….......seriously! byfuglienin hartnelling asshats
Y do you ask?
“What’s he supposed to Byfuglien do” just about sums that up.
so dallas broadcasters basically said that
goalie knew what he was doing.
so
now goalies are going to come out and just get smashed
for the helluva it
horrible call…total pansification there!!
This was the 2nd worst.
That call on Callahan last year when Crosby slewfooted him….
THAT IS EASILY THE WORST CALL I HAVE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE. Hagelin didn’t touch him! Their own man hits their idiot AHL/ECHL goalie who came way out of his net like a nutjob. Then Hagelin, of course, gets punched.
Fire that ref. Immediately. His kids get NO Christmas gifts because their daddy is an IDIOT
Not much gets by you, Carp…
I can’t wait to hear what Torts said on 24/7!
Dave Maloney was flipping out about the call
but kept away from the 7 words you can’t say on radio
horrible call, torts should start throwing things
wow, ya just can’t make this carcillo up!
One of the writers just suggested that Anisimov should shoot the goalie.
Torts about had a coronary. What a dumb call.
hope this wakes us UP
lmao Carp, and great kill boys
They’ll run into Hank soon. But then again that always happens.
Hey, the Knicks!
That call was easily worse than the call by Jim Joyce that cost Gallaraga the perfect game. I am so unbelievably mad.
BWAHAHAHA. Carp – buy that man a drink. I will mail you the ca$h to pay for it. He deserves it.
well, the refs i dont know how can you give a penalty ??????
It might just be because I am hungry or because I have had Zero drinks yet today but man oh man I am REALLY angry about that call.
I’d hate to say it but I cant wait for the start of the Knicks season just so they can stop playing that commercial where they butchered the Marvin Gaye song.
Good thing Tiki’s not here … oh, wait.
lmao at Manny and Carp!
Love the goalies= QBs now. When the goalies have more protection that QBs do.
Maloney still going off about the call
Does Christensen get a blocked shot for that?
Crosby Update, anyone?
“I was sleepy til the b.s. penalty,” Maloney
Dallas crew is as feisty as a parrot in the refrigerator
Shoot!
This has been a pretty fair season so far, even some games where we get the better of the referee calls. Dont worry, that’ll change in the playoffs if we make it there.
The call was bad, but all it did was give a power play.
The worst calls of the season happened in the home opener when the referees stole 2 goals off the board when Cally was in the crease, but didnt do anything wrong. When you take goals off the board, there’s no worse call than that.
Scott Hartnell is on a six game goal streak. That’s just wrong!
don’t forget, the Rangers are NHL darlings this year because of the WC.
The Stars head coach looks like he’s 16
Quick whistle there, eh blue? Could they protect this guy any more? Honestly!
yes JB
cindy had a primanti brothers sandwich
Big Fish i believe
enjoyed it
washed it down with a couple of coca colas
digesting comfortably
Michael Ribeiro =best portuguese hockey player in the WORLD!!!
Hartnelling Hartnell!
I saw Torts say bull carcillo, exactly like that.
whether it’s just coincidence
or done purposely due to video work
Rangers keep shooting to goalie’s right
and it’s not working
REBOOT!
Girardi on radio now
Joe?
Like I always say…
Ribeiro = Aladdin!
Joe Dan
would be funny if Girardi’s middle name is
Joseph
anyone know?
Richards more ice time than Girardi…surprise
Crosby Update: “It’s all in his head…”
Aladdin=best portuguese genie in the WORLD!
Giannone does it better.
Crosby update,his OBGYN says everything is A OK
Did that ref get fired yet?
On ranger radio, Girardi was interviewed and said that the first few weeks after torts was hired…..the coach kept calling #5 Joe as well….and no one dared correct him…
Wonder if Hagelin get’s a penalty the next time he shoots at the goal as well…
Aladdin was a great movie. Just sayin’...
crosby update via twitter …..it was no coffee for a few days….caffeine headache
beauty and the beast (AKA beauty and the TORTS) was better…..Beast needed to love and learn to be loved…classic story….
Straight from Don VanMassenhoven’s Wiki page:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don_Van_Massenhoven
Before he became an NHL referee, VanMassenhoven was a police officer. During the 2004–05 NHL lockout, he was a car salesman in his hometown of Strathroy, Ontario.[2] He grew up a fan of the Boston Bruins, and has been very vocal about his distain for the New York Rangers
EC looking good! Certainly the better choice over Avery.
Oh, great call by the refs on the Hagelin penalty. Just shows the quality of the officials in the game today.
good work clearing the air eddie
wow!!
did you see this about BU hockey player arrested?
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/12/13/corey-trivino-arrested-rape-indecent-assault_n_1146594.html
Oh hey, the second period started.. COOL.
so wait!
stars goalie is named Richard Bachman?
in other words
Stephen King is in goal for stars.
we should have 8 goals by now!
he’s got a bum leg!
I prefer “The Lion King”! That’s some legendary stuff right there!
Boyle never hits that friggin net! Jeez.
Is Boyle using one of Dubinsky’s sticks?
I keep hearing Dvorak. Is that Radek Dvorak?? If so, damn. He’s been around forever.
Can we fire pucks at Michelle Bachmann instead?
PRUST! with the assen woopin!,man handled!
goalies should get penalties if they come out of their creases….lol
I think fighters are starting to take notes on how to win a fight against Prust. Switch to your left hand. The last few fighters Prust fought have done that. Coincidence? Maybe…
Is it me or does anyone else feel that Prust is fighting these days just to stay in the lineup?
No way, Beck.
Prust
i just don’t get it.
no need.
Gabby and rest of team needs to stop being so cute
Maloney: Ranger team has fallen in love with the fact that they scored 10 goals in
previous 2 games.
Aladdin=Lion King=Beauty and the Beast=Pochantas=Little Mermaid.
All great movies.
another horrible call
make up
let’s SCORE
ugh
Shoot at the net!
too many passes!
Careful spider she has Chootspa!
Land Before Time as well, Mickey!
Who gets benched when Rupp comes back? It cant be Hagelin, he’s shown great promise in his time up, it would be foolish to send him back down for Rupp
btw Prust fighting when we are up 4-1=stupid,Prust fighting in a 0-0 game=trying to spark the team,plus like Carp sez,he just loves fighting!
DZ’s shift was Kovalev-esque.
With every shift, EC proves the wisdom of Tort’s decision to bench Avery in his favor a wise one.
Ok who is involved in the bobby ryan trade rumors
Eff Nystrom
Wahhh, Avery, Waaaah!
JODY SHELLEY – 1 GOAL
BRANDON DUBLOWSKY – 1 GOAL
WOW!
carcillo, Olga, you took the letters right off my fingers
SEASON OVER
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
not good
Ruh roh..
Dubinsky = weasel
SHelley= jack o lantern
now THIS cannot happen
if only Sather picked Souray up last year none of this would have happened.
That was nice of the ref, to blow the whistle in the middle of the play, recognizing LQ was hurt.
Someone tell Al that Nystrom was put on waivers by the Wild, not Flames. He went from Houston in the AHL to Minnesota to Dallas.
Uh oh, Henrik. This is why the Rangers should have grabbed Souray, right?
That’s not good…
The goal was changed. Phew!
Let me update….
Marc-Andre Bourdon – 1 Goal
Brandon Dublowsky – 1 Goal
that sounds was incredibly loud
omg! of all things dallas broadcast is showing
Artie celebratory miscue against tb
must be bored
nice offside call…2 ft. buffer must be…
So close and yet so far
“Good idea by Dubinsky!”
Too bad you dont earn points for ideas
Avery- 3 goals
Dubinsky- 1 goal
Dallas broadcasters are at least being reasonable and unbiased with their commentary on the poor calls by refs/linesmen – even when the calls go in their favor.
What a shift by EC!!!!
He shot wide from point blank range.
He also blocked a shot in the offensive zone.
And he fanned on a pass to a wide open teammate.
He clearly belongs in the lineup
How much longer till Christensen plays with 0 interest in this game because he has world class talent?
Barry
what are you talking about?
this game is becoming perfect for EC
looks at moment like it’ll be a 0-0 tie after 3 period
and ot
and then skills competition of
EC TIME!!!!
barry beck – ec has skill…didnt you get the memo
How much longer til Duboutsky?
how ‘bout them cowboys?
st0w,
I actually enjoy the Dallas team; they are one of the fairest in the league.
GROIN!! everyone drink!
If all non-conference games are going to be as thrilling as this one, then re-alignment can’t come soon enough.
Groin issues.
the look on jerrah jones’ face as jason pierre paul george john and ringo blocked that kick was priceless
im drinking
EC will have 0 interest from this point on until the 65:00 mark of the game.
THEN it’s EC time!!!!
We need an EC time theme song. Any suggestions?
Who cares aboot Avery! Jeez, watch the game and root for the RANGERS instead of the golden child.
Glug, Glug, Glug…
during ist intermission interview ec said that hags totally deserved that 1st period goalie charging call as he sucker charged the goalie
EC has two blocked shots in the offensive zone. Actually, this game is almost soft and passionless enough for him to do something.
I dont think Avery will be back.
Avery gets the Charlie Sheen treatment.
Sheen Avery…..
yes ORR!!
if Avery was playing (and i do like him)
he’d have a hat trick by now
and set up Dubi for 4 more goals
orr – go stick your mug in a bowl of ice cream and dont worry about what we post….
Sam sounded shocked that Dubinsky was out there on a better line for once
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=otCpCn0l4Wo
how was that not offsides on stars?
Mr. One Goal now playing with Richards and Callahan.
Gaborik makes some strange passes for aguy who has played all his life
make up yo’ damn mind Fonz!
What are the chances that Broduer gets his 1st goal of the season before Dubinsky gets his 2nd?
Sorry, Eddie, I just get the feeling that you people don’t really give a shyte aboot NYR. Whiners!
And yeah, as soon as the 3rd period starts, I am sticking my face in a bowl of ice cream.
$1000 fine for Henrik right there.
That Trivino story is sad. He’s been in trouble before and it’s a shame, he has lots of promise. Yet, speaking as a BU alum, I’m pleased with how they’ved handled it so far. That wouldn’t have necessarily been the case in my day. Wonder what Isles will do
hopefully the rangers are saving there A game for the third period because they haven’t shown up for the first two periods.
I fine him $1000 every time he leaves the crease.
He hasn’t paid any of them yet either.
does this win the award for most boring game of the season thus far? ilb, CCCP, and Doodie picked a great game to go to.
ec shootout theme “I’m a loser”
DUBLOWSKY
Hagelin needs to do something about his Leif Garrett ‘do
Lev, ha!
Dubinsky will not finish this season in Rangers uniform.
orr – i get the feeling you only care about busting balls whenever avery’s name comes up…
uh oh. when youre putting on the brakes and reaching out with your stick, you are bound to get in trouble.
Nice rush, nice save
That’s what happens when you don’t skate….
Bachman needs to be prosecuted for theft after that save
Eminger is a beast!!!
I don’t only care aboot busting delusional Avery lovers balls. But, I do enjoy it!
Eminger = Monster for the night
Maxime Talbot = 8 Goals
How? Why?
Dubinsky is really fighting it. I dunno what the heck his problem is.
(B)oor – i have been a ranger fan since before Avery was born, and will continue to be one long after he is gone….and while he is on the rangers – I want him and the team to do well….i know its beyond your comprehension, but many of us think Avery adds to the team and gives them a better chance to win…..
zzzzz….zzzzzz…...zzzzzzz,huh whut oh nil nil still? meh..zzzzz…..zzzzz…..zzzzz,huh whut EC wins it in the skillz comp?,meh…...
Maxime Talbot has 8 goals???
How many does Dubinsky have?
Lev, what do you think they could trade him for right now, with that contract? That’s why he will be here all year.
whatchu know about dual heated outside mirrors?
Bo-ring. Dallas is playing a very good road game. This is the ind of game we have typically lost. Let’s see if we have changed.
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesh you guys! focus on the dudes who ARE playing instead of making 75% of the game thread about a guy who’s not! Unless its prucha lol
i need fresh air
so i can wake up
But Lin, that’s no fun!
Y
A
W
N
Well, this game wasn’t worth staying up for. But since i’m already 2/3s in, guess I can be bored for another 20 mins. Who needs sleep anyway…
Lev, Carp’s right. With that contract you can’t trade Dub1, unless there’s someone out there making as much and scoring as much….
half of this fan base is gonna kill themselves when he’s not on the team next season.. oy vey lol
This is how we’ve been making other teams feel.
Dallas’ D is a real pain, sticks n legs everywhere, then the guy in net.
Dubi’s night for an ugly goal? It can’t last forever.
Ha, Luc Slow-bitaille
lmao @ scoring as much
or as little ;-)
Good, Eddie, than root for them instead of constantly whining. By the way, my comment was directed at Czech!
Exactly, Lin!
Did the game start yet??
Fuggin’ Catalina Wine Mixer! POW!
As a big Dubi supporter, I am shocked at his total lack of offense this year. And the sad thing is that he is not as usefull to the team as EC is. After all, EC is a shoot out machine. He is an incredible 0-3 this year!!! And EC is bigger monster than Eminger or Cally when it comes to blocking shots. EC leads the team in offensive zone blocked shots. In fact, he might just lead the entire league in that category. All in all those stats don’t tell the whole story of EC’s brilliance and importance to the Rangers. To watch him play is all you need to appreciate just how passionate and talented a player he is!
Dubinsky’s driving the Klutzmobile…
It’s all about staying positive!
Who cares how boring the game is? If we win, the 2 points is all that matters.
Versteeg with a steal and a SH against Maarty, up 2-0
im sure there’ll be a team that will take him, probably a West Coast team. It may be hard, but he’s not untradeable.
it’s only making my day long headache worse!
Wow, you can score 2 goals within 1 min today? Why didn’t anyone tell our guys that?
lol HageLIN! Those 2 points are gonna better than advil, tylenol, and ibuprofen combined! :)
i hope you’re right!!!!!!
ok here comes 20 minutes of untethered excitement!!!!! LETS GO RANGERS
Dustin Brown has only 5 goals and is making $3.5.
Dubi with two big hits that shift. please let it start something. I want him to get into a fight, get fired up!!!
zzzzzz
did i take too much cough syrup
or is it just the game?
too many icings, offsides, bad passes. snooooooooooooooooooooooozefest.
Dustin Brown aint on the Rangers
Again, Boyle has to drop the shoulder and drive the net sometimes there. He always settles for the backhand from a bad angle.
I thought Stralman could of had a goal but he didn’t dare to move up that close to the net where the puck was just sitting there.
Pretty much the whole Kings team is struggling.
Emin-freakin-ger!!!!
I never understood that. If a centerman takes a face-off infraction, but loses the draw, why do they re-drop the puck? It just happened, and Dallas won the second face-off, and got a decent shot on net.
Eminger just fugged NYR out of a PP.
Though his heart was in the right place.
ORR
I have been watching the Rangers probably before you were born. In fact, my first game at the garden was the night Eddie Giacomin came to the garden as a Red Wing. I have followed this team and the many players that have played for them for almost 40 years now. Sean Avery is but one insignificant player who has played for this team. The point you miss is not so much about Avery as it is the never ending EC experiment. The other point you miss is that Avery is a much better player than EC is.
Don’t worry about what I post. Why don’t you follow your own advice and just watch and root for your team.
Boomers Tattoo- “I’m With Stupid ->”
nifty lil play by DZ
Phew. Almost went two whole shifts without a Boomer and Carton promo there.
Oh, good for you, you watched NYR before I was born.
Like I said, who cares aboot Avery, EC, who’s in, who’s out. Root for the fuggin team instead of complaining.
Dublowsky gets a pass, because he’s a total disappointment.
UUUUUUGGGGHHHH!!!!!!
Why does he slow down at the blueline?????
He is so indecisive!!
What I like about Stralman are his outlet passes in the defensive zone, they’re deliberate, accurate, and are good decisions.
Dont know if anyone read the story, but the AA celebration was actually a tribute to one of his deceased friends from the KHL Lokomotiv team. He promised himself when he made the NHL that he would do the same celebration as his friend from the Lokomotiv team.
Why do I see Kim Kardashian on MSG?
sigh. you KNOW this is killing dubi
Maxime LaPierre – 5 Goals
EC is very heady too. He is adept at not skating to the red line when it is three feet away and shooting it in for an icing. Not many players have that type of talent. Certainly not Sean Avery.
Right Orr?
ORR,she must be going to Knicks games to find a new man
pot heady maybe Czech!
We need a Bachman Turnover Driver
Boyle got away with one
Hagelin is fast. every time I watch him I am amazed.
Czech, I don’t care aboot Avery or EC. They’re both 4th liners.
Focus on the game! That has to be the fifth or sixth post with EC and/or Avery in it!
Lin, I hope she gets one! Anything to drive that team to last place!!
czech – that first game back for eddie eddie eddie was a sunday afternoon matinee game….NBC game of the week…..and my eyes welled up with tears as the crowd roared EDDIE EDDIE EDDIE…wow…that must have been a special memory for you EDDIE EDDIE EDDIE EDDIE
lol Orr!
PP! Big!
Stralman has a very nice, hard, accurate shot. I would like to finally see him start on the 1st PP unit. Cause we all know Del Zotto still has a hard time hitting the net.
Things appear to have picked up in the past few minutes..
(B)oor – and how many of those posts have you authored?
Ranjuhs powah play!
HERE COMES A GOAL FOR THE BOYS IN BLUE!!
Dub1 2 for diving
Love MDZ this year
Stupid rookie goalies
Save???
Can’t believe Nystrom didn’t score there.
a shot just like his dad…wide or high
And there…
wow, this game needs something if only to help you all retract your claws from each other! meow!
Holy moly
I remember watching that game EddieX3. I couldn’t believe they just gave Giacomin away like that.
NOBODY THERE FOR THE REBOUND!!
AGAIN!
Henrik is saving our aasens on this shift
Keep the pressure they are about to crack.
Carp, can u ask Tortosmella why he refuses to play Stralman on the point on the PP?
Well, at least they’re throwing T-shirts into the stands. Idiots.
Dubi is probably feeling the weight of that contract around his neck and its tightening like a vice…...he seems to be a good kid and is trying to live up to the expectations of all that $$$$...and it is killing him inside…
No.
Beck, would you like me to respond to you as if Im Torts?
Papa nystrom could score in OT only
What’s up with no Hagelin, especially on the 4-on-4? It was a big mistake not to use him there.
olga – i know….me too
Seriously? It wasnt the first time he held out for more $$$
this just seems like one of those experimental games.. what the hell
Yes
put hags on the pp point…the kid can blast it
LMAO @ Dub1 flopping on the ice twice in one shift!
Bachman will be in the Hall someday. I’m sure of it!
Hedberg
you forgot to include
when the puck was offsides
wtf Barry? did Dubi turn you down for a date? my God.
Barry – its what i think….this contract pales in comparison to the last on and he feels it….
torts not gonna let Hageme nor mitchell see any ice the rest of the game?
Eddie
Yes it was a very special game for me being that it was my first time at a hockey game.
Orr
When you stop posting about Dubi I will stop posting about EC and Avery.
yes my reverse psychology worked
Was getting rid of Giacomin another John Ferguson inspired move?
Woywhatever! Bye, bye!
Stupid play by Woywhatever.
Barry, Torts, like most professional coaches, manages with the safe moves. It’s easier to explain to the media if Girardi, a veteran defenseman, makes a mistake on the power play and it leads to a short handed goal. If he goes with an inexperienced rookie at the point on the power play and it costs us a shorty and a game, then he has to explain that to the media. Going the safe route.
Fug.
sonsaefenbeaches
Ugh. 4 seconds of sloppy stupidity and we’re sunk! Woywhatever = Bench for a bit.
We can always count on Dubinsky to tie it up!
The heat is on….
I’m assuming Daley has more goals than Dublowsky??
NYR better fuggin score on this PP. We can’t get shutout by an AHL goalie!
bad clear by Wowitka
(another Panic Clear)
then both dmen in no man’s land
and Cally
not getting the man down the middle
equals
ugh!!
ORR,
But we can. That’s the point.
Tiki, who’s a rookie?
we love AHL goalies.
Well damn
Dal3y?
At least Bachman is making himself look like a Vezina candidate and not us doing it for him. Looks more like an NHL’er than a pretzel maker.
No-no pass by Mitchell across middle of the ice led to that goal.
Really Tiki?
That’d be a nice twist to that story.
Wow…
a few of the rangers loses this year have been brutal. They don’t show up. This will be another terrible loss.
olga – no that was the cat cleaning house….
I knew picking up Bachman for my fantasy team was a smart move. NYR does this every time!
Stralman not shooting
like all the other cutesy plays tonight
we deserve to lose.
hope we squeak out a point or two
but bad bad bad
too much holding onto the puck, too much standing around.
nice D there Girardi.
In fact, every team should call up their AHL goalie when they play us. If that were to happen in all 82 games, we’d never make the playoffs!
How dumb is the “We Want Avery” chant after the goal? Do you think, down 1-0, late third period, that there’d be a snowball’s chance in hell Avery would see the ice?
poor Boyle. that was an extremeely long shot to make.
Can’t really say that they didn’t show up tonight, tomg. Isn’t their best effort, but it hasn’t been a total stinker.
Quick Torts, we need a goal! Put EC on the ice before it’s too late damn it!!!
And rookies always have a great game at the worlds most overrated arena.
Why is that one imbecile chanting “We” Want Avery? It should be “I” Want Avery.
EC did….
olga – in a 2 week period, eddie, giles V, ratelle, park, and sanderson were gone
Terrible play by Richards.
E3- An uncharacteristically bad move for the Cat.
Knew they wouldnt get a sniff.
Another dumb play by Richards.
Pathetic game.
Sigh.
game over
go what we deserved
Bachman’s coming-out party?
Like Michelle’s husband needs.
carp – i think “we want avery” is more of a macro issue than a micro one….
What an ugly game.
these types of loses really piss me off. It’s not like the team who has beaten the rangers out played the rangers. It’s more like the rangers didn’t show up to play. These loses can really hurt you in the end especially the rangers since they’ve been the ones battling for the eight spot.
The highlight of the season was Dubinsky getting tossed to the ice on that goal
Not sure what Richards was doing that entire final minute. Giving away possession the entire time.
Ah, we got beaten by Stephen King, a bostonian. Cant say Im surprised.
The coaching staff should keep Boyle, Dubinsky and Del Zotto on the ice and take target practice at the net tomorrow for 5 hours.
Its pathetic how badly those 3 players miss the net and miss it often.
Bad day at the office. Forget it.
Dallas played great D, it makes teams look stupid.
And our offense ain’t all that to begin with.
not sure if you go to games, Barry, but if you watch pregame warmup, Del Zotto can’t hit the net then either. misses most of his shots from the point by 5-10’
I wouldn’t say they didn’t show up. It was just one of those games. They happen.
When, oh, when will Dublowsky take a seat in the press box? Ridiculous!
lets just give credit to John Tortorella for pushing all the right buttons
Well I must commend Torts for his wise choice is putting EC into the game tonight.
He added passion,forchecking, deft passing, timely blocking of shots in the offensive zone and a tremendous amount of jam! Just what this team needed. And his teammates fed off of his energy tonight!
Certainly without question he is the first, second, and third star of the game tonight. And I also think his teammates will show their appreciation for all he brought tonight by giving him the broadway hat.
Great job EC!
lmao Lloyd
Flavah needs to get rid of his extreme case of Higginsitis IMMEDIATELY! SHEEEESH!!
Oh, and now’s the appropriate time to start complaining aboot EC, Avery, Simon, Barnaby, or which ever player…
Prucha= healthy scratch… there ya go Orr
That was a lame, disappointing loss. The Stars did not look great, the Rangers could and should have willed their way to a home win.
One thing to be said, though, about this being a better team than in years past: the Rangers look much, much better in first and last minutes of the periods, and in the first minute after a goal. Used to have real letdowns. Though the end of the 3rd tonight wasn’t great.
Time for Avery to get back in the line-up. Just ‘cause.
Boyle is worse than Higgins. At least Higgins can create a rebound when the puck hits the boards. Flavah’s shots go right into the stands.
And, yeah, Dubi is a pylon.
nice to see someone else admit Boyle stinks
the rangers are still not a good offensive team. The rangers are inconsistent in that department and is why they lose games like the one they lost tonight. Another ranger stinker.
I just got home. What have I missed? Did Dubinsky get a hat trick yet?
Did someone just say Dubi = Redden???
only one penalty tonight Sally lol
Oh well, he’ll work it out. Or maybe he’s just trying to get traded to Buffalo?
Hi Linda!
Sally, I think he flopped three times. That’s the Dublowsky hat trick
Orr
Go back to your hole in the wall and eat another bowl of ice cream!
What.The.Byfuglien!?
I’m out to do some Christmas shopping, and they can’t score a single byfuglien goal!? Send Woywitka back to Hartford, the Bastid….
I was listening to 1050 ESPN – was the one goal a weak one? I’ll bet it was – an exceedingly weak one?
Fans be damned. They can chant ‘til they choke.
What matters is that Torts is the only big (dysfunctional) personality in the room tonight. If the coach is happy, we’re happy… or else!
Soon he’ll have peg-leg Ruppster and Whirlpool Wolski back in the lineup with the versatile EC. All his “better hockey players” like the first golden weeks of the season. Then we’ll have real excitement.
What? I’m in favor of you whining like a little school girl with a crush. Don’t get all personal! Go back to what you were doing.
If only Dubustsky had more TOI. Would have been no contest.
Dont worry, Dubisky’s going through one of those streaks that he has a few times every season.
They let this piece of zhitnik team with a rookie goalie beat them? Great, just stinkin’ great….
SALLY!! no cheddah for dubi tonight~
Simmer down, people. And stop with the personal attacks, it’s unnecessary.
R I Ranger
Good post!
I wouldn’t be surprised if the lover boy is back in the lineup for the next game, in favor of Dublowsky or Boyle.
Should be interesting to see who’s in and who’s out when everyone’s healthy. Then there’s MZA…
Orr, he got hurt pretty badly last game. I thought i heard he was out like six weeks. I could be wrong
just saw they changed to the scoring on the Dallas goal….......Woy-whatever now gets the primary and secondary assists
Yikes, it’s a little snippy in here tonight. FIRE ALL THE BONEHEADS!
Goodnight, Carp!
Olga – that was a sad time for rangers fans and it lasted up until the 78-79 season. The cat felt after the playoff loss to the Isles in 75 the rangers of the early 70’s had shot their load and itches time to clean house.
I think snippy is called for when you get shut out at home by a team with a rookie goalie and a popgun offense – and using the old Devils trap system….
I couldn’t watch the game, but I refuse to believe that Dallas’ defense was that good….did the NYR play a lazy game? It sounded like it on the radio PBP…..
Lin, NYR said that it hasn’t been confirmed yet, so I don’t know. He’s definitely injured, but don’t know how severe it is.
don’t rip each other apart over who’s in and who’s out of the lineup!
Have a sizzling Wednesday everyone!!
ah thanks Orr! Enjoy the Ben & Jerrys!!
(thump-thump…) Hello? Is this thing on?
(b)oor – given how personal you are with the players’ names and their looks, me thinks you doth protest about who has the girl crush… Is it buttchin you dream of? Or dublowski? Maybe Sean makes you all a flutter
Goal update!
Hal Gill- 1 goal
Dubinsky- 1 goal
Both empty netters
Sorry but most of you are idiots. One loss and you’ve lost your mind. Avery is a non factor they’d be better off cutting him and stop this silly debate. There is a reason why none of the other 29 teams will touch him. Dubinsky will finish the year with more points than Avery’s best year.
Dubinsky’s just going through a streak? For a quarter of the season?
Guy’s needs a change of pace. Like sitting in the box kind of change. Like Hartford so he can “build some confidence” in his game, like everyone else they ship over there.
Stralman, :40 of PP time tonight.
It’s a good thing they signed him to play the point.
Bogosian – 1 Goal
Latendresse – 5 Goals
Eddie, reading was never your forte, which I’ve told you countless times. There’s a big difference between my Dublowsky posts and your Avery posts. For example, my head isn’t glued to the ass walls of Dublowsky, whereas yours is glued to Avery’s. It’s simple!
Cant do that to him. Dubinsky’s part of the “core”
I wouldn’t say they played a lazy game. They had 34 shots and held Dallas scoreless nearly the entire game. You don’t normally get 30+ shots and shut a team out for 55 minutes by playing a lazy game. The effort was definitely there (imo). If not for one Woywitka turnover we get a point and possibly the bonus point.
thanks
Let’s talk about something less inflammatory, shall we?
Some jerk stole a baby Jesus from a church’s outside nativity scene. Tell me, what kind of asshat does that?
Shut out by a no name goalie. This may be a much better team than years past but damn some things never change
new post.
Folks want to blame Woywitka for the “turnover”. But to be fair, Woywitka did clear the zone and while his teammates did nothing to prevent Dallas form gaining the zone no one picked Daily up. The guy received the pass and had time to walk in and score.
So to me, whoever was on the ice for the goal as a whole, it’s ALL of your faults.
Another anti Avery troll calling himself rexx has come out of his hole to pontificate on something he knows nothing about, hockey.
You see troll, I happen to love Dubi and what he brings to the team as a player not just with his stats but also his intangibles. Avery has scored 48 pts in the season he came to the Rangers. But you see it’s more than just stats. It’s also chemistry. And the Rangers with Avery in the lineup are a better team than without him that is just simply a fact.
And there in their seats at the garden
tough loss, but thought we played pretty well.
thought eminger played a very good game.
That soft pass out of the zone by woywitka was not the best play, but it was dubi’s guy that scored the goal, he is just bad defencively (other than that he played a decent game as well).
Gawd, the Rangers SUCK! Tortorella should be fired by midnight, the C should be stripped off of Callahan and Avery should have his number retired.
