Game 44. 
Ya boys have lost two of their last three. Crisis! … as they begin a big week that includes the Penguins Thursday and the Boston matinee Saturday.
The Rangers play the Predators, who have won five in a row, eight of nine, and who play pretty much the exact same way the Rangers play.
Brandon Dubinsky and Ruslan Fedotenko are both expected to return, and if so, Wojtek Wolski will be prucha’d. Anders Lindback (2-4, 2.75) starts in goal vs. Henrik Lunqvist. Ryan Suter is expected to miss the game (injured) for the Preds.
It’s another NBCSN (aka Versus) game … which means a 7:30 start, no pre-game, no post-game. But for you T-W Cable people, it means you might get to see the game.

First
This is definitely going to be a hockey match up!
LETS GO RANGERS!!!
This team is going to sink tonight. I can’t even begin to contemplate how bad it’ll be. Expect amateur-hour.
Prepare yourselves for a boring defensive hockey
first goal wins
seventh!
Sixth!
eric, do you think there will be a goal before the shootout?
If its a shootout, I’ll just tune in at 9:34pm est
FOUR MILLION!!!
CCCP, where’d you get that Fischler thing from?
Scoreless regulation…OT..then the longest shootout ever.
And how do you get a teammates skate to cut you over your eye in warmups?
Damn.
I’m 14th! the equivelant to LLoyds hockey IQ!
carp
yes prob get one in regulation. this will be an absolute snoozefest. hopefully we win
GO TIMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
LETS go go go go go go go go gog ogo go go go go go!!!!!
LETS GO RANGERS!!!!
were still the BEST!!!!
Hamslice.

RANGERS!!!!!!
I love gametime!!!! IM NOT excited ….IM PUMPED!!!!!
PuMp up the JaM!!!
GO boyszzz lets make sum noise!!!!
gog ogo! LMAO! Greg is READY!
How come the Rangers (or any of the MSG teams) don’t do a postgame for every game, aside from playoffs? Mets and Yankees doing so was a smart idea. But don’t tell the Dolans what is smart. You might get sucker punched.
So much easier to be on the blog when I can watch the game on an actual teevee.
Rod – no not set plays, just a simpler way to enter the zone. Set plays would never work for this team, they don’t have the puck movers they’d need for it once they got in.
The breakout would be more freeflowing more than anything else. They have a current set play they used to enter the zone, but 2 guys are posted on the boards opposite each other and because they don’t have the passers, they can’t get into the zone.
Keeping it simpler works with this squad because their strengths are keeping the puck deep and funneling traffic to the net. It also will give a guy like DZ the opportunity to get more involved since the far side is open for him to straddle between the slot and the point.
LGR!!!
finally, Carl playing with Gabby!!! (i’ve only been calling for that since pre-season, but who’s counting!)
I bet the Doc-haters are happy. As a Pierre-hater, I am happy. I like Doc, and I think it’s worth losing him for the exchange of not getting Pierre. Strader is a capable #2 and Engblom is decent.
dubi and feds in wolski out.
no doc emrick. dave strader again
Evening gang!
No game for me again. It is on nbcsports. Will not pay Cablevision a dime more than I already do.
Alright, I’m back! Barely made. Looking at the amount of posts in previous thread, must be worth looking at later…
Wow, thanks Brian Engblom. I never knew that Lundqvist was so good because he has a special “flair” for the game.
What does that even mean?
Just don’t read anything from a month ago, ilb. For whatever reason.
>>Ya boys have lost two of their last three.
Unless Gaborik and Richards come back from their holiday vacation, it’ll be three of four. Rangers will probably make this backup goalie look like 1994 Mike Richter.
That’s Downtown idiot
Funny, the last time these 2 teams played, I met the amazing, esteemed Linda. And had a great time with my friend A that weekend. Not to mention seeing the Rangers win. I hope for a repeat of that win.
oh cool, maybe there will be another awesome interview with Torts behind the bench in the middle of the game. What a great idea NBC. If only they covered every game.
pierre is ten times better then englom.
I bet you nothing’s changed since month ago anyway, LW
ilb, back on the mainland.
and Homeslice is here.
LET’S GO RANGERS!!!
The gang is all here, eh Carp?
go rangers!!!
LETTUCE GO RANGERS!!
lot of tall jokes about lindberg so far from these clowns
did theyice it? we look sloppy again
Rod
I can’t tell where I got Fishler info from…it’s classified!
He was talking about it durnv Devils pre game on MSG…
where is the energy
During*
we ice the puck wayy too much lately
Welcome back, Ilb!
call a freakin timeout
whether there’s energy or not, it’s going to look like there’s not … between these two teams and the way they play.
its a pp for the preds
Looking like the Montreal game already. Dysfunctional.
Sleepwalking so far.
Oh, boy…I have some serious catch up to do…
nice offensive-zone blocked shot by Drury 2.0.
Thanks CCCP.
Answers like that are why I hate this place.
Lindback got to play in the AHL recently, so it’s not like he’s totally rusty.
Trotz must coach a hell of a system. It even made Mike Dunham look competent.
WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooo!!!!
WWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
lol!! cool
Nice deflection by Hillen.
Wooohhhoo!
yes were take it
hard earned gooooooaaaalllll
giggidy!
That’s an All Star shot!
all of that pressure started with a hit by the borderline dime-a-dozen fourth-liner.
hahhhaaaa yesss yesss yess!!!
love ittttttttt!!!
wohoooooooooooooooo!!!
woooooooooooo ohhhhhhhhhhhh hey hey hey hey hey!!!!
GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!
Blockness????
All-Star scoring! 1-nil.
Dan Weber!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rod
Unlike you…I actually told you where i got my info. Ok?
Keep on hating…
trying to give it back here
Thanks, CCCPunk.
so if both teams play the same way
which one are the Rangers?
so confused…
Like many here have been saying, Hagelin belongs on the first line.
Boyle = Chemistry
why do we get pinned in after a goal all the time drives me nuts
BTW a big Byfuglien U to Time Warner Cable!!!
eric, Game over?
I want my MSG back!!
wait, there’s more than one punk? Is there also more than one Hambone?
whats this cccpunk crap about?? u wanna coatcheck buddy??
plenty of energy in this game, Carp.
I hate the peackockey network. I need my Sam & the boys!
guess we won’t see Lloyd until the Predators regain the lead.
carp
could be never know. im bored already watching this nashville team.
this is like the dallas game all over backman now lindback
They had their game back two shifts before they scored. Nashville played last night, not sur how long they can keep the pressure
Whooooooooo! Danny boy! That’s why he’s an All-Star folks!
Ooops. I was wrong. For the second time in my career.
nice giveaway gaborik.
There is only one HAMBONE and she is still at work, missing the game. Go G!
Actually, live in the building, this is much, much, much better than the Dallas game. Or the Montreal game.
LMAO LW! Well done! CCCPUNK!
Nashville without Suter has no chance in this game, folks.
You are watching the game, Carp? First time?
Let’s Go Rangers!
FIRE SATHER!
Ridiculous.
Engblom is carcilloing his pants.
A Torts interview with more than 2 word answers. YES!!
Grabby
It’s all good, bro! It’s a joke from previous thread…
Btw, you and I are fighting for the first overall in wicky’s league! EPIC BATTLE!
I don’t watch the games, LW. I just read the comments, which are 100 percent knowledgeable and without bias.
what did Totalretard say?
ilb – Actually, Predators played yesterday afternoon on the Island.
Aristophanes?
Blah, blah, blaaah! Strader and Engblom wont shut the fugg up! Pay attention to the game!
Carp
You can read? Wow…
;)
Ridiculous!
Hagelin! Kid’s a monster!!
I have somebody here reading it to me, Punk2.
Aristophenes.
You’re right, Spider, thanks
Nose’ Feliciano.
Happy Birthday Betty White
Maybe if you weren’t out island-hopping with two drinks in each hand (and each with an umbrella in it) on your iPhone, you’d know that, Captain.
I’d like her topoff. And Bag on…
i know its awsome cccp. ive lost tons of players though recently. if skinner was still hurt, i’d have 5 top playes on IR. but imgettin lots of help from free agent, waiver adds. wickys doing great too. oh, i toldsally to beat you the otherweek cuz u were still undefeated. she did win too!haha
Betty White used to date Chelios’ kid.
He said something about Hagelin having “balls the size of a grain of rice”. Missed the rest. Working on my dossier.
Trotz looks like a giant peanut with eyes…
That’s not boarding?
I’ll say this about the MSG crowd. This year they really seem to appreciate the blocked shots. And anticipate them.
wow we are so sloppy again defensively
I feel more lost than usual here tonight. Can’t figure out why unless our resident ‘know-it-all’ is back and at it again..
Is it me, or are the Rangers allowing a hell of a lot of space and time at the points?
True, Carp…Feels like I’m in training camp again….a lot of new/old faces….I’m sure a couple of “sharp” comments will get me right back…
Torts hates Hagelin.
I’m beginning to feel this will be a survival game…yuck
richards and cally need a shakeup
I would prefer no one tries to block a Weber shot. That man (and Chara) could kill a person with their shots.
That’s a quick period, isn’t it?
Preds miss Suter.
Staal has looked pretty bad since coming back, and continues to come damn close to hanging out Hank to dry at least three times every game.
Hagelin should be on the power play whenever the Rangers get one
yes very fast. versus sucks i do like liam the host during intermission. close friend of mine from college.
wowie zowie that ws a huge save. lindback was damn goodlast season. no surprise hes stoning us so far. a lucky bounce only thing could beat him or this is tied. good first period though. much better than last game. few d lapses but overall a goodforechcking game. and hitting
def a survival game.
headzo- i hear that. this will bea low scoring game that goes right to the very end. great for our hearts!
Grabby
I had a chance to beat Sally that week but I chose not to…I was being a good sport and let Sally beat me beacuse she is Sally :)
LETS GO RANGERS!!!
yeahhh , lookin gooood!!! gooooood stuff , good shifts , good goal , gooood going , goood saves , good goaltending , gooood newssss!!! Things are looking gooood!!!
flyers shorthanded goal 2-0 over wild who if they lose fall out of playoff spot after there huge start
bryzgalov just let in goal that is unfathomable
Wild were due for heavy regression. Like the Stars and Panthers.
Two very similar teams…Young, hard working, well coached.
3-1 flyers answer
cccp, lol she couldve beat you if she added a few players. i told her to add somebody cuz one of her starting d men was scratched that game. she didnt sit him though. shes a good sport. i also wanted her to win just because shes sally!! if i play her again im letting her win.
Kovalchuk with 2 goals already one being on PP
Devils on the other hand were unfortunately due for a rebound as long as their goaltending doesn’t slump.
its only 1 goal lead greg!! dont jinx it!!
I wonder if they ever thought of casting Kane in the cabbie commercial.
at least kovalchunk is getting me some fantasy point tonight. n giroux better step up. hey ccpunk, im gonna propose trade to u ok. check it out later.
lloyd-rangers need staal to play alot better for sure. he should be getting better each game, and its been slow. he might not be 100% still.
need to get STIFFer
this period
Lol, CTB….
Wow what a hit.
oh crap a pp. put hags on it!!
cmon boys get 1
terrible
CTB – Someone had to have thought that. I know I did. But he’s already in the airport commercial.
this pp is beyond fixable
I want the power play on dog dammit!
wtb is mitchell doing on a pp anyway?
Enjoy the bench Mitchell.
Sergei Kostitsyn is nailed on for the Selke this year.
Robbed!
Sooooooooooooo close!
aeu kidding boyle?? bury that!!
OMG
put the frekaing puck in
Oh damn ! Sick save!
gee
maybe we need a
pp specialist
like
Brian McCabe
to turn it
all around.
Good move Torts putting Mitchell on the PP. first he goes offside for some reason and then takes a stupid lazy penalty. But still no Hagelin on the power play.
Just a brutal PP
wow nifty moves by cally. we get more chances on the pk thanpp. its unreal
Has Carp asked the gutless coach why Gaborik isn’t on the PK more?
Ugh Mitchell.
oh c’mon Czech
can’t put so much blame on Mitchell
when most of the players
are standing around the offensive
zone as if they’re waiting
instructions
from Sully as far as
where to go
Boyle got a haircut…
anytime we get a goalie who barely plays at home we struggle to get it by him
Mitchell going offside, then taking a stupid penalty reminds me of a certain CT Whale player whose name starts with A and ends with very.
I was going to badger him about that tonight. As if I give a crap.
mitchell sucks. time to get somone who can shoot up here. whats up with hobbit??
Did I just see a CABER reference??!
C
A
B
E
R
!
!
CABER!!!!
just put boyle, prust and someone on a pp line together, with richie and mac at the points. why the hell not. theyre great down low and our skill guys stand around like idiots anyway
JPG
Mitchell wasn’t carefull and skated in offside than took a lazy penalty.
Predators have a player named Francis Boullion. Think he got best up at the bus stop with Larry Brooks much?
Speaking of Avery, did anybody see the interview with the PGA Tour pro Every this weekend? He was suspended for a marijuana bust, and he pretty much said that he still intends to party, and that he knows more people who smoke weed than who don’t, and that maybe he was just at the wrong place at the wrong time.
Don’t call me Francis.
Yeah I’m pretty sure McCabe could just step right in and change everything after sitting on the couch the first 5 months of the season.
LMAO Carp are you saying that Avery and Every are smoking Dubi’s together?
Cannonball! Cannonball coming!
Dubinsky just ripped the Selke out of Kostitsyn’s hands.
It’s the name, Carp. It makes people be stupid.
Guess that would make Boyle a dimebag a dozen player…
Here comes the magic dragon!
Mitchell sucks!!!
YEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAHH!
mitchhhhhhhhh
Yeah Mitchell sucks…
seiously what the buff is wrong with richards. umm oops sorry mitchell!!! lol
Mitchell makes up for his mistake!
Woooooooo hoooooooooo!!
Mitch!!!!!!!!!
Ugh Mitchell.
GOAL!!! Much needed
Mitchell redeems himself. Dime-a dozen
This Mitchell looks like fuggin Gretzky out there!!
YEAHHHHH OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH OHHHHHHHHHHHHH oHHHHHHHHH ,, ohhh ohhh ohhh . ohh ohh ohhh . ohhh ohh ohh HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY!!
WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! TRADE MITCHELL
THE AG SCORES!!!!!!
Move Mitchell up to the first line!Mitchell! He must be smelling other guys’ injuries healing, and playing for his roster spot the past few games.
Joni [Mitchell] for the deuce! 2-0
it goes
Rupp>Prust>Avery>Mitchell>blah blah
i understand Czech
i’m just saying that the pp
is just horrible overall
Mitchell’s miscues
just in addition to….
Who is Potvin and why does he have ducks????
hey staal, we were all crappin on mitchell. lol. but good for him. although nashville looks really off tonight. i know were playing very well, so that has alot to do with it.
henrik!!!!!
Also, damn HANK, that was niiiiiiiiice
Hank is taller!
Martha? Anybody?
I don’t want to know what Greg was doing at the time of his last post.
LW…Holy Carp…LMAO!
i love u guys
LMAO @ LW!! Priceless man!
survival game
are you people even watching? this hasn’t been close since about the 10 minute mark of period 1.
lol good one lw
No Lloyd we stopped watching at the 10 minute mark of period 1
Mike, I don’t think Nashville is playing bad. They’re just being outplayed for long stretches…
Bench Hagelin, promote MitchellHow did Hagelin, aka he who will magically fix the PP, miss that?
Yeah, Henrik has hardly done any work in the last few minutes Lloyd. Is your feed delayed perhaps?
that Paul Mitchell is quietly efficient
LGR!!
Trotz=Potz and the game is not boring. Preds looks tired, like after long, fruitless hunt
Mitchell for President!
I stopped watching at the 10 second mark of game #1.
Pushups, Mickey!
No need for smart ass punky remarks LW.
Hags +2 so far tonite, could have been +3 if the puck settled – rushed it
Lloyd, I don’t watch the games. I just wait for your opinions.
yea weve been really good tonight ilb. thats what i was getting at. weve been outplaying them so far
LW, please, don’t be such a cynical nihilist. I know, you’re so tender deep down…
Paul Mitchell is quietly efficient
Nice play by Hags. Dopey Strader didn’t even notice it.
could have been plus-4 if they’d put him on the PP, stranger.
I ain’t doing no pushups, Jimbo! You do them :)
Barry Trotz looks like an angry testBickel.
Boyle missed…what a dimebag.
This is a very good team they’re playing. The Rangers are better, but if they lose their concentration, this one may turn around…
put the freaking game away
Hagelin-less time.
Lucky PP…
ilb
agree 100% nashville works damn hard
no, ilb, this one was declared to be over by somebody who knows a lot more than you and I.
Rangers need to wreck these clowns that run Henrik.
Good, we play better 4 on 4 and shorthanded anyways.
what a joke
That’s one way to improve the power play.
horrible call
Wow! Looks like a makeup call for the Preds. Ridiculous!
Bad call….
is ian walsh one of the refs tonight?
Awful
Not like the Rangers are good on the PP, but that was an awful call.
That’s Bogus, man!
Worst freaking call ever!
Refs are from TN
Carp, I stopped watching long ago…I could clearly see it was over.
Van Massenhoven is a ref. Didn’t see who called that one. He’s awful though.
4 offiials on the ice and they screw that up. Amazing.
How about that? Two defensemen leading the rush. Nice plays by Del Zaster and Stralman.
This would be great to have on 24/7
Love watching MDZ
Oh please, we want replays on penalty calls now? Come on, enough with the replays already.
I despise this stupid Rangers song they play at the Garden!
I’ll admit to being a cylindrical novelist.
it’s another NBC conspiracy, CCCPunk and CTPunkshirt.
It was Morton who called it, not DMV. Ref #36.
This is the most boring team I’ve ever seen.
There, I said it.
Good I hope Fisher loses teeth.
refs should be able to overturn the original call after they see the replay. why isnt that a rule?? they should start off the 3rd with us still on the pp
That R handed shot will keep Stalman in the lineup over Bickel…
I’ve seen more boring … like across the river for about 12 years … or the Roger Neilson pre-Mess teams … or … i could probably go on. but I don’t give a crap.
That’s a call that they should check the replay on, just to make sure they get it right.
Also Carp, your comments are hilarious.
Buffalo-Chicago tomorrow on NBCSN
seriously, wasn’t it a high stick? and wasn’t the guy cut? or did I miss something?
I really wonder if Wang said that Mad Mike.
Try ExLax, Carp.
Gee, thanks for your input, Mr Know-it-All!
Wow! I see the ref in this game sees things just as clearly as the ref in the Giants game.
Carp – It was Kostitsyn, his teammate.
He doesn’t have to lose teeth, BANJ. He can keep them in his pocket after the game.
Carp, I think Mike Underwood was high sticked by his own teammate.
I haven’t been reading regularly enough. This is a new Carp!
These Peggy commercials are played out. Nobody’s buying whatever they’re selling, and outside of Boston, I think people believe that Tim Thomas is a bit odd, to say it nicely.
And wow, that kinda sounds dirty when you say it out loud. LOL
Welcome to RR, Clarke MacArthur.
It’s General Carp, Spider, and I’m at my best when I’m a little pee’d off … and a few people helped get me at my best here today.
I think that Stralman has earned the 6th spot on this club. When Sauer comes back, Bickel goes down and Woywitka hangs around until Eminger gets back.
HAHAHA. Clarke MacArthur. Whoever the clarke that is.
Who high-sticked Carrie Underwood!? That’s a shame!
Phaneufed.
Man, LW is on FIYAH tonight.
I don’t think it’s an automatic that Bickel goes down … maybe they pick their spots with him. Like Boston. And Philly. And NYI.
Wow. did you see that Orpik hit on the ballerina or whatever he is?
And CCCP, Fischler didn’t ‘break’ LeCavalier being traded for Schneider,
he said he could see a fantasy trade coming true of VL for Luongo.
So nice goin’!
Also, these fake press conferences for Ford buyers … what the bryzgalov?
Orpik absolutely wrecked Skinner tonight.
Yeah, I read back a little bit.
Thank goodness we have the Super Bowl coming up and some quality new commercials to look forward to.
We’ve had more entertaining teams than that, for sure. Like 2002 collection with Matt Barnaby….:-)
That No. 6 kid can shoot it.
Taylor Hall video isn’t pretty. How hard is it to skate in warmups?
Funny story I once heard about Rico Fata, who came blasting out of the runway in warmups and started circling, counter-clockwise.
When (supposedly) Messier saw him buzzing at warp speed, he said, jeez how come this guy hasn’t been here helping us?
When the skaters all reversed direction, Fata kept on going counter-clockwise.
And Mess said oh, that’s why. LOL
Carp, sorry you are so pissed off…maybe you should hang out with Every…
Well done, boys! Instead of feeling sorry for themselves
Yeah, the NFL is down to four teams, and we have to wait three weeks for the championship game.
wow!
preds are just like us
they’re pp was just as bad
(knock wood!)
Boyle and Prust showing their useless selves on the PK.
If I was retired, I probably would, Staal.
Don’t give them too much credit, CTP. It was less than four minutes.
This game isn’t in Canada or outdoors, no goal for Rupp
LMAO, Rod.
What is with the announcers’ obsession with the Nashville goalie’s height and weight? Give it a rest.
Rupp should be on the first line , or on a line with Richards and cally.
GO BOYZZZZ!! lets go go go go go go go go!!!
NJ winning
Philly winning
Pit tied in OT
Keeping it close…
I saw you were having a tough day Carp ;)
Carp, I don’t think those Ford press conferences are fake. In the commercial, they say it’s an actual surprise press conference, so that MUST be true.
Oooo, idea, idea, idea! There should be a surprise press conference of Torts behind the bench in the middle of a game! That would be sooooooooooo cool!
Did he just praise Fedostinko? Do they drug test those NBCSN commentators?
>>>What is with the announcers’ obsession with the Nashville goalie’s height and weight? Give it a rest.
He must have Joe M. on his cellphone, telling him about the guy’s “stats”....
Kotalik has big forearms.
Coors Light – beer flavored water
I have a love/hate relationship with ALL ads. It’s an odd position to be in.
I wish I was invited to one of those surprise press conferences. I’d be all over them. Why did you buy a Ford? You couldn’t afford a real car? All the other cars were taken? Why isn’t Hagelin on the PP, you stubborn egomaniac?
Oh, I can’t wait to read the previous post…Sounds like it was fun for Carp…Something tells me I won’t be surprised at all
I hope this don’t jinx Hank…...I smell a sh….....just kiddin!!
GO RANGERSSS , Can’t let those moron from Boston catch up to us!!! Boston won the cup and they think they are all that..Lucic is a goon and that whole team should stick thier head up you know whats..
GO RANGERSSSS !!! win this thang!!
No, Captain. The Rangers had lost two of three, so they were coming out of the woodwork.
What the hell is wrong with Richards? He keeps flipping thr puck to nowhere?
Swedish Balls!
BIG SAVEEEEEE!!!! HENRY!!!
HENRY!!
Something tells me that Hagelin WONT get 40 Miles Per Gallon though…
Look at little Hags getting in there. Hagar the Horrible.
Nice to see NHL refs borrow a page from their NFL brethren regarding in game mistakes. Oh what am i saying? Not only didn’t the NFL apologize to the gmen?, they defended their incompetence. No big deal… No way the giants can beat the packers in the playoffs anyway … Never going to happen – this year or any other.
Thought so, Carp. Greg- I smell carcillo too….
Geez Carp what are you pissed or somethin?
Ryan “The Snake” Callahan with the DDT!
flyers pens devs all win need to hang on here
Probably the lack of Kathryn Tappen.
OK, I’m watching this commercial with no sound … this redhead is talking about mytopoff.com for $9.95. don’t spoil it for me.
Who’s Kathryn Tappen?
Must win, Eric?
ha! Eddie, I heard from a completely unreliable source that the NFL refs from Sunday’s GIANTS WIN called the NHL refs from the Winter Classic for some tips on how to call the game “fairly.” By completely unreliable source, I mean me, and I just made this all up, ya know, for a goof.
The Islanders should have all worn Pierre Turgeon shirts in the third period of their win over Dale Hunter.
eric said “first goal wins” this afternoon.
Most ads are retarded at best… Even more retarded at their worst.
One of those refs in the Giants-Packers game used to play for the Green Bay Little Packers.
How about that “Mike DelZotto”
Don’t tell me, but what’s a little packer?
Did Pierre Turgeon ever wear that hideous black vomit third jersey though?
Drury 2.0’s been a factor tonight.
Billy – I hear you, my mathematical brutha
god this clock cant move any slower
LMAO at Haggar the Horrible!! Haha!
Are there extra different ads on the boards due to NBC exclusive? NHL partners Honda, Discover, Enterprise that I don’t remember normally seeing.
Every is the man!
Brett Favre had a little packer, right?
Carp, is Drury 2.0 a player who is 6’7” name starts with B and ends with oyle? lol
is this guy englom a moron nashville has all the jump
Pop Warner football. Come on, Carp!
That was a brutal hockey moment right there Carp.
Bums like Hunter ushered in the era of the ‘agitator’, along with guys like Tik. No Carp?
Never thought you should be allowed to strictly distract and harass the opposition into penalties and not really, you know, play.
Big game @ 10:30. CAL vs. SJ.
So I was out and I missed the first 2….
Wait….Martha scored again?
Carp – depends on whether you are using it as a noun or verb.
The New York Dime-A-Dozens.
Meant to say….though apparently Glen Sather was a real pain in the ass.
Is the play by play guy a baseball announcer? He keeps saying American league instead of AHL and his voice has a baseball sound to it.
Carp, you feeling ok?
Yeah, but there’s a difference between a cooke-disturber and a cheap-shot artist who tries to hurt people—like Clarke, Hunter, Cooke, even ol’ loveable Ulfie.
Staal, no. he’s way less than 6-7 and he makes $60M. But only for the next nine years.
This third period is putting me to sleep…
Oh sorry Carp I stopped watching awhile ago. I come here for all my info…
Boyle>Drury
Carp, don’t worry, he only makes a $1mm for each of the last three years….LMAO….right…
Worthless time killing shift.
This third period is making me thirsty.
Could swear Boyle’s been stickhandling along the boards with his back to the net
for about 1/2 the season!
I’m good, Mickey. How about you?
is it me or do the corners of the offensive zone look dark?
Skittles > Pizza
Good job the Rangers had this one wrapped up inside the first 10 minutes, because they’ve had to work hard since.
The former attorney general on a 2 game scoring streak.
lol, what a fun night around these parts, youse guys are killin’ me
Yeah, CTP. You want to throw the ball, not run it, late in the game with the lead.
2 mins.
Wish the Rangers would pull the goalie just to make it interesting.
Yes, the corners are dark. Maybe because past Rangers teams never went there.
Like that?
Phish Food>Chunky Monkey
Rangers grinding more than Debbie did in dallas
Ok, Carp. You just seem a little ‘off’ tonight was all. And I am good, overworked and underpaid, and lighter in the wallet, but good.
LMAO Carp! lol wonder if there are cobwebs?
How tall is the Nashville goalie?
We Want Every! We Want Every! WE Want Every!
Good job Cally.
Automatic goal
Captainhan!
FREE GOAL!!
Hey Rod
Kish meer en tuchas…Farshteyn? :)
Mickey, I’m still ticked at those DOT asshats.
LW your “Cap Hit of Injured Players” piece on your blog is pretty intense! How long did it take you to develop that idea and your system? That’s nuts man, nice work!
Though Im not 100% that was correct call.
Shoulda done that in the WC.
two points is two points doesnt need to be pretty. goodnight
This period- they gave them exactly nothing.
What a bunch of overachievers…
Shutout King!
Solid game for Hank! Stiff as he needed to be!
It’s impossible for NYR to lose three in a row!!
I’m not the guy inaccurately re-reporting trades that did not happen, CCCP Punk.
Isn’t this play similar to the one in the WC?! How come now it counts as an automatic goal??
“the rangers just clamp you down like a giant octopus” when they have a lead. Now I’ve heard it all!
CT—the goalie is 6’6” tall I believe… and their number 1, Pekka Rinne’s 6’5”
That’s a pretty impressive win. This one was a playoff type hockey game. Not the most entertaining, but very hard played.
BOOM! Dime-a-dozen win.
Shut out !!!! sweeeet !!!
GREAT GAME , 62pts!!! Eat that Boston , Eat that Chicago ChUmps!!! Yeah baby , Rangers back on the winning streak!!
Helmet Nuzzles and Dubi Kisses for all!!
Gabby can’t burbs goal this season
Yeah Rod you are the guy who reporting on non-reports about the trades that never happen.
Howd I miss that in the telecast Billy?

Sorry, BANJ…
That was a great bounce back game!

MITCHELL FOR THE BROADWAY HAT
CT, that only works for NY teams!
5-3! Game over, season over, for the B’s!
Im not a Torts fan, more of a Renney guy, but its undeniable how much this group responds to him-so nice win, great hustle by Callahan at the end-hey Torts,smile for once when the camera is on ya!
lol TooToo
CT, I’ve been bouncing back and forth between Radio/TV broadcast tonight… the tall goalie thing was something that Dave got into early in the radio coverage…
They play a train whistle in Nashville for him E^3.
thanks ilb.
Did Vinny L sucker punch any bruins tonight?
Are we gonna get post game? I wanna see who gets the hat
Or once a versus always a versus?
>>>Kish meer en tuchas…Farshteyn? :)
Nu!? ;-D
It’s Hanks hat, he just let’s others wear it.
Sorry to hear, BANJ
And yes, they do play a train whistle for TooToo in Nashville. Nice arena, nice town, but wow are their fans a bunch of hicks.
Nice…some d-nuzzle got Kings stick!
That’s two 3-0 responses after two bad losses.
Fishies shut out Washington tonight 3-0? What is going on!?
Jimbo! LOL! NU?!
What’s happenin’?
BANJ
sorry to hear about mom…send her my warm wishes
Evening everyone,
It’s all in the details
Tonight’s win over the Predators showed exactly what the Rangers can do to an opponent – when they do all the little things – and do them well
The defensive zone coverage by the entire team – particularly in the third period – and their play through the neutral zone for 60 minutes led to multiple counter attacks
Plus, their game below the hashmarks in the offensive zone penned in the Predators for long stretches
This tilt was very similar to the shutout victory in Toronto last Saturday – getting the lead and grinding the opposition into sawdust
Impressive – particularly against a team that plays the same style
No tailspins here, folks
King with the shutout
Girardi with a much-deserved goal
John Mitchell – maligned by many on this board but not by me – with the insurance marker
First team in the NHL to get to 62 points
Bring on the Pens
How did they get Torts to smile on 24/7?
C3!! What’s shakin’, man!? What’s with your name? What’s the story!?
Doing fine here – especially after this game!
billy
Thanks. Idea was quick enough. Just found there wasn’t anywhere listing man-games lost, so figured I’d do it myself and made sense to weight it. Takes a while to pull it together each month though.
Boy, all the teams in our division win tonight – even the Fishies…..
LW—awesome. Do you have a spreadsheet that does some of the work for you? Hmmm… you should make an app! Or make some kind of program that does most of the work for you…
At any rate, nicely done AND clever naming schemes ie “CHIP” AND respectable levels of insanity ie “subject to the resulting mutant speaking an acceptable level of French by the end of the surgery” lol
Well done!
Everyone is in a good mood, so it’s time to share this: http://youtu.be/L06IQ0Kfd-4
Get ready to laugh. :)

Please leave Renney out of the discussion. Tortorella may be a grouch but he wants to win
more than he wants to be liked. That sadly is what Renney is all about. The picture in
EDM should be far brighter than it is. Another disaster tonight vs. CLB
Jimbo
The name is in Rod’s honor! ;)
“Rangers owner Jim Dolan, who hasn’t spoken to Rangers media since lockout, makes surprise visit to interview room. Says Rangers near Cup.”
If Dolan is grandstanding, something tells me an announcement on a big deal isn’t far off.
Boyle was working tonight like a galley-slave. Who arrogantly mumble badly about him? Mitch can fire his real estate agent in Hartford. Hank was again back to his bestself.
Nevertheless, as I predicted, Rangers will be 1 game up, 1 down for the rest of the season. I could explain why, but too lazy and tired now.
Who were 3 stars and who got fedora/barsalino?
But this is okay from CCCPunk, Carp?
That’s about 5 times already!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah, Dolan’s announcement on a big deal: “Your cable bill is going up.”
The way that many of these posts are worded one would think that this was an inferior team that Rangers played. I tell you – with a lesser goaltender this score could have as easily been reversed.
Isn’t it also amusing to read the pre – game estimates and then notice how many folks were wrong, and the most wrong of them all is the ever opining of the Pimp of Miami?
I can imagine him sitting there in his cluttered little room, contemplating his navel, and muttering darkly to himself,” Bush league lucky bums,”, and then penning some unsigned letters to the NY Post, and threatening to halt his subscription.
I enjoyed this game immensely, largely because at times this looked like mirror images of one another by the two teams.

James Dolan in surprise post-game remarks: Rangers are following plan set up in 2004, are near Stanley Cup
Dope….when was the last time he made a comment publicly about the Rangers….
And one more thing….why not get off of Boyles back?
That scares me….these aren’t the friggin’ Knickerbockers!!!
C3 and Wicky, just in case you didn’t know this already… I love you guys.
Also I need to be better at not totally neglecting my fantasy hockey teams.
thenyrangers Mr. Dolan: “I am very proud of the organization..I am particularly proud of Mr. Sather…it’s all about the system he built…”
