It will be fun seeing some of the old-timers back in uniform. Not sure it’s two and a half hours worth of fun. I’m sure some of the players will be mic’d up and no doubt interviewed while on the bench. I just hope that the broadcast doesn’t become more… Read More →
So Sean Avery is Connecticut (AHL) bound again. He cleared waivers at noon. Apparently, the Islanders didn’t agree with some of the b.s. we may have read or heard about what a bounty it would be to grab Avery at a discounted price. Making that, how many times now that… Read More →
This is what’s special about this team. The most hyped game they have played in years, if not decades, coming up next, a bad loss in the game previous. I know some of you guys worried about this being a trap game during the live chat yesterday and we talked… Read More →
Game 36. Your boys on a one-game losing streak, play the second of a three-game trip that concludes with the Hyper Bowl Monday. This is the final game of 2011. Henrik Lundqvist starts in goal. Otherwise the lineup is the same, which means Sean Avery (on waivers en route to… Read More →

According to several reports, Sean Avery was placed on waivers again, for the purpose of assigning him to the CT Whale. I doubt there’s any chance at all that another team claims him … though wouldn’t it be interesting if the Islanders did? And why not. He’s a better player… Read More →
Carp’s Rangers Report Chat
Last game of 2011 tonight, and first game-day chat of 2011 today. (and last game-day chat of 2011 today). So get your questions and comments ready, because those in early will have a much better chance of being answered. Also, please use a screen name or a real name or… Read More →
Just a heads-up. We’re going to do a last-minute live chat tomorrow at 11:30 a.m. Sorry it’s early, but I have to be somewhere for my, you know, other job at 1. So we’ll go live at 11:30 and try to get in 45 minutes or an hour of Q&A… Read More →
This is what happens when you play well for an extended period of a season and people take notice … teams that might not be so good, or not playing so great, find another gear when they play you. It becomes a big game for them. And that really hasn’t… Read More →

Interesting hockey day. First, the holiday roster freeze is now over, which means the Rangers could be shedding some bodies soon. And one of those is probably going to be pretty controversial. This afternoon at 3:30, Team USA plays Finland in the World Junior Championships on NHL Network. Your boys… Read More →
First place in the East. Five straight wins. Top two or three in team defense. Fewest losses in the whole freakin’ National Hockey League. And your New York Rangers really haven’t nearly hit their stride or been nearly 100 percent healthy yet. ‘Nuff said. Thoughts: 1) Seven goals allowed in… Read More →

Sorry. Had some technical difficulties with the new computer system at the paper … so I missed most of the lockerroom. Here’s a quote from Brian Boyle about his shot-blocking at the end of the second period: “That’s old news for our team. That’s what we do. That’s a big… Read More →
Game 34. Rematch of Thursday’s 4-2 Rangers win. Ya boys on a four-game winning streak. With Boston idle tonight, the Rangers could move into first place in the East with a victory. Same lineup, other than Henrik Lundqvist in goal (Martin Biron beat the Islanders Thursday) and probably Jeff Woywitka… Read More →
No John Tortorella pre-game presser. He spoke to the media masses after the morning skate today. Meant to post this, you know, before the World Junior championships actually began. But I didn’t. It started today. Team USA plays Denmark tonight at 8 (your focus might be elsewhere, but you could… Read More →
