Game 48.
The ticket contest is now closed. Thank you for playing. And a special thank you to the guys who did it wrong (deep exhale of exasperation).
And may I just say that it’s going to be really easy to judge the contest if the Devils win the game, because you guys were relatively wildly optimistic.
In case you forgot, since it’s been a while, ya boys have won two in a row, three of their last four, and 14 of their last 18. They have won five of their last six road games, and 11 of 14.
The Rangers are 9-2 in Patrick Division games, and are unbeaten in regulation (6-0-1) in the first of back-to-backs (5-1-1 in the second game of back-to-backs).
They are 18-7-2 against the Devils since 2007-08, including 9-4-1 at the Rock.
The Devils have lost three in a row, all at home, the last one in a shootout.
Battle of the Martins: Biron vs. Brodeur, which means Henrik Lundqvist starts tomorrow in Buffalo. Otherwise, same lineup, so Wojtek Wolski and Erik Christensen are prucha’d

LGR!!!
“Spem successus alit!” – Success produces Hope!
Mama, please say it was Manhattan Clam Chowder… not… CHOWDA. Weak-sauce, lol. :P
Sally!!! <3 !
hahahahaha. all too funny….OK, dinner here….off for now….later all!
That reminds me of an Ace Ventura quote…......
It’s been one month. No Rangers, Knicks, Devils and Islanders.
byfuglien disgraceful.
Goooooood Rangers hockey evening gang!!
isles-devils playing a preseason game next year at barclays center in brooklyn.
carp, any word if Rangers will get a game there too?
Lloyd, that just sucks. would you watch the game online? I can get you a link
MICKEY!!!!!!!!
Lunch points: Five Guys burger, fries.
*LETS GO RANGERS!!!!
Ticket! Tickets! Tickets!!!
4eva! How ya been?
Linda:
I usually watch them online when I’m not actually there or when it’s on that NBC channel nobody gets.
Thanks in advance for the link.
It’s just absurd that viewers/fans in the largest TV market in the world with the large cable provider in the area are being completely shut out from their teams.
GO TIMEEEEEEEEEEE!! LETS GO !!!!!!!!!
LETS GO GO GO GO GO GO GO GO HGO GO GO GOOOOO!!!
Lets go Rangers!!!!!
Gaboriks gonaa get a hattrick TONIGHT!!!!
Hey Mickey!

ZzZz … pumped?
LGR!!!! GO CAAAAARRRRRRRRLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!
Anyone know where I watch game online?
I chomped on Five Guys today as well. Bacon Burger with “Barbie-Q” Sauce. Good burger, but they take so long!
Greg L is PUMPED! Latona handing out points. All we need is some analysis from Miami and we are GOOD TO GO TIME.
mike, no idea. but it would have to be a road game. I can’t imagine MSG giving up a home game.
Five guys Burger beats my Vanilla and Peanut Butter Spirutein shake :/
Carp, I think I’ve nailed the prediction for tonight, let’s just forego everyone’s agony and award me the tix, kthx :D
I know I shouldn’t be complaining since I still have the games on television, but it really frustrates me that the Rangers get relegated to MSG 2 or whatever it’s called and the Devils get to stay on MSG+ when they go head to head. You own the network, Dolan. Make it happen!
mmmm five guys… i’m jealous
Wow! Thanks for the post while I was typing!!!!
i’m psychic
I require four 20oz Pepsis tonight
Heyyy Carp , I tried to register sooner but this PC is driving me CRAZZZZYYY!!! If only you could see how hard it is to get this piece of junk to work!!! I did make it….barely!!!!
LET GO RANGERS LETS GO RANGERS!!!!!
GO GABORIK!!!!
LGR! MITCHELL! FTW!
BANJy!!!!!! BANJo!!!!!!! BANJoy!!!
thanks, Linda. you’re the best.
We get the Devils broadcast?? Great…
Devils broadcast on Center Ice.
I get to hear Chico blathering over Bad Marty.
EWWWWWWWWWWWWw
((({{{Linda!!!}}})))
How the fugg is the Ranger game not broadcast in HD but the debbie game is?
MSG the most ridiculous network!
anything i can do to help my brotha and sista boneheads!
Hopefully we’ll be celebrating in 2 1/2 hours Lloyd!
Oh and HEY HEADS!!!
let the donuts, ring dings, buffett jokes BEGIN
Wowza, a LOT of the gang is here tonight.
Sally, thank you for asking. If not for the Rangers performance, life would be miserable.
(Like, if not for the bad luck, I wouldn’t have any…). But I’m going as long and far, as Rangers are going… So, life is beautiful, so far!
Hey Staalsie!
LLLLLINDA!!! :)
Devils broadcast in HD that is…
So who’s watching HD?
usually other streams pop up
{{{{{ETM}}}}} lol i’m confused lol
The other LW?
GO GO HGO OG OG !!!!
chico resch is such a moron
miked!!! how are ya !?
4eva, sorry to hear that and I hope things look up for you soon. At least you’ve got the Rangers though!
Anyone know what radio station the game is on in New York? If I watch the TV, I won’t get any work done :(
Let’s Go Rangers!
Let’s Go Black Hawks!
Double header tonight.
FIRE SATHER! {{{LINDA}}}
Will Chico get Uncle Daddy a box of these for Valentine’s Day?
http://tiny.cc/69gs7
did he just say ‘he’s got his offensive back’
rangers broadcast is in HD for me in northern nj
FIRE SATHER {{{{{OLGA}}}}}
LW, Lucinda Williams. Unless you are her… in which case I’m mad at you for not writing me back, but you’re still awesome anyways.
LMFAO MICKEY!!!!!!
Linda:
dunno if I can survive 2.5 hours of Resch.
did anyone see the stream last week from that Swedish satellite television service? it broadcast the direct Garden feed. pretty awesome.
What are you talking about? MSG+ in HD with Sam and Joe for me
Yup, I have it in HD just like Dubiiiii.
Good one, Mickey!
Anyone know what radio station the game is on in New York? If I watch the TV, I won’t get any work done :(
LET’S GO RANGERS!!!
UGH, sorry Lloyd, i wish they’d offer both feeds so ya don’t get stuck with the GINSU KNIVES in the EARS chico whining rat.
That swedish feed is AWESOME!! i wish i could follow what they’re saying though lol
hey Mama
are you at the game
and “accidentally”
sat in the wrong seat
just to get an idea of
your view for
Brooooooooooooooce?
Linda! doing well. happy to pop in here tonight!
Woohoo, game on!!1
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO RANGERS!!!
RANGERS RANGERS RANGERS!!!!
Gotta loveeeeeeeeee our team!!!!
billy should be ESPN 1050
always happy to see ya miked!!
Ooh, look at ilb and Latona with the HD televisions…
Linda:
What I saw the other night had all the MSG people, but the camera stayed on the ice in between periods other than for Trautwig’s interview. Didn’t have to deal with Pidto and his nonsense in the studio. Basically had ice, booth, interviews, locker room after the game…and no commercials. I want to move to Sweden.
And thanks :) I thought it apropos
Goooooo Good Marty!
Hi Linda!!!!
thanks@linda
did i hear and let’s go rangers chant already? nice
MSG+ HD is showing Debbie’s broadcast for me…MSG2 is Sam and Joe but in SD
Lloyd, i watched a feed about 2 weeks ago and they stayed on the ice for intermission but the guys were talking about the football games! It was hilarious
Carp is back…
We’re all here…
It’s like the family is reunited!
LW3H:
I know you’re slightly stupid but just so you know…
My comment about your TV was because you’ve made many posts in which you state:
“Blah blah blah blah MY PLASMA TV blah blah blah”
Seems a bit unnecessary unless you’re dealing with some kind of technical issue specific to plasma televisions. Next you’ll start repping the brand.
Me too CCCP…
incredible!
lotsa regs here tonight! wooo hooo! and wait, i missed it
HEY LATONA!!
Lin, you’re right my dear, it SHOULD be on 1050, lol :D
The Knickerbockers are on that station (of course) and I’ve got the Devils broadcast on 660.
LOL THIS IS HELL BUT I CANNOT PUT TV ON LOL
Not only do the Rangers get bumped on the TV when other teams are playing, but they can’t have a solid ‘flagship’ radio station. C’mon.
Dont say “Swedish feed” in Brodeur’s earshot. He’ll be expecting a wheelbarrow full of meatballs.
LW, what frequency short wave is the game on tonight, I’m having technical difficulties…
billy, maybe you have to find the devils on FAN lol
ugh the horrific basketball team is on… sorry, i dont keep up with that here in da dirrty souf
BILLY
http://rangers.nhl.com/club/RadioPlayer.htm?id=2011020737
Still plenty of empty seats.
knickerphaneufs…who watches that carcillo?
970AM! Carp posted this earlier today. Come on shake off the cobwebs guys! :)
who does the devils radio broadcasts?? not the station, but the guys
lloyd, this may be a good time to reacquaint oneself with the radio..if it was good enough for uncle miltie it may be good enough for a computer salesman aka the constanza of willy loman.
Or is it knicker-phaneuffers
Anyone have a link to the rangers tv broadcast, not the devils?
holy crap that chick behind torts is terrifying
970 AM (radio)
Ch 637-1 DirecTV HD (Sam and Joe)
billybleedsblue:
you got beef with 970AM? I’m sure people who live within 20 feet of the transmitter love that damn station.
Yeah, Linda I’ve got the Devils broadcast on. Maybe during the breaks I will ‘scan’ for the Rangers broadcast, although something tells me I have a better chance of catching the Pittsburgh broadcast of the Leaves game. Grrrrr…
BANJ! DID YOU SAY CLUCKS OR PUCKS???
LOL, BANJ
billy, can you listen on the computer? i posted the link off the Rangers website if that helps lol
D’OH DZ!
phaneuffers.. dyin
Soft call!
I have a better chance of picking up the Toronto games and the Blackhawk games than a Ranger game…I’m serious.
Lin, it’s Matt Loughlin and Sherry Ross.
Does anyone know how much lower the life expectancy of coaches who coached Kovalchuk is comparing to other coaches?
I have a better chance of picking up the Toronto games and the Blackhawk games than a Ranger game…I’m serious.
I meant the radio feed BTW.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA
Boyle/Prust…dime a dozen….
lol, thanks NYR! Would you believe that 970 doesn’t come in? Mickey-Mouse radio station! lol.
Thank goodness for streaming audio!
For anyone else that’s desperate: http://den-a.plr.liquidcompass.net/player/flash/audio_player.php?id=WNYMAM&uid=119
GOOOOOOOOOOOOD Marty
Go Rangers!!!
Late, but here.
970AM broadcast to the end of their driveway. Nothing but the best for an original 6 team at the top of their conference.
Our Marty is sharp.
THanks Carpy.
oy billy, you need a few shots of Jack after all these hoops you’re jumping through
Lloyd
You’re monitoring my posts for plasma screen references? Sounds a bit creepy.
I also make a lot of Brodeur is fat comments, but that doesn’t mean I have shares in KFC.
Seriously, I know, get XM for hockey, or just watch the game, but seriously, I’ve listened to Caps games and Blues games on AM radio with better luck than the Rangers (when they get bumped off 1050).
I am listening on the radio. The free links are all hooey.
970 AM defines bush-league.
lol Banj, and Linda. It’s ok now. If not for the Interwebs… what would we do?
LW!
glad you finally settled in billy
I think Sherry Ross sounds hot
Unfortunately the visual doesn’t quite mesh
billy is procrastinating
billy, we’d all be lost without the interwebs, lol
i pray there is no woman dumb/desperate enough, and NO sperm bank desperate enough, to EVER let carton pollute the gene pool
LW, I’m monitoring your posts that are monitoring Lloyd’s monitoring of your posts…
The PACK Line!!! Nice!
What a hit by Cally…
Sherry Ross, didnt she used to write for the daily news or newsday?
That turd-breath idiot is married, Lin. Can you believe that?
Everyone’s in the game…
Thanks for the gem Chico!
Staal I’m 99% sure I had a procrastination-free day (for once) today.
Is Richards playing?
to what NYR?? A bridge??
What a blow it must be to Chico Resch that the Devils don’t go 82-0 every year.
Billy, party line!
Thanks, billy. I’ll make a note of that.
billy its the 1% I’m talkin about
Steve Bernier is back in the NHL?? WOW
Holding is no longer a penalty in the NHL?
A real woman. And, to top it off, there are little Cartons running around…
Brian BOyle( pronounced Burl) is playing like a beastula!
There are little Cartons running around?? My god, it IS the apocolypse!!
Ryan Carter looks nothing like Anson Carter.
i feel sorry for those poor kids
Yeah, Good Marty!
Don’t say “carton” in Brodeur’s earshot. He’ll be expecting milk to go with his cookies.
Beer-on!!!!
decent game
Why is Uncle Daddy playing well??? STOP IT
where’s ORR???
Rupp killed someone there.
Rupp just killed someone
wow!
clarkson is still awake after that hit?
holy crap mitchell
brodeur GOBBLED that up
he’s excited cuz he knows he can eat in 2 minutes
lol “Good Marty”
I heard that Rupp hit on Clarkson from HERE! THAT”S AWESOME.
WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
SKOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORING!!
whoooooooooooo
STRALMAN!
STRAW MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
STRAHLHLMON!
YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
GABBBY GABBA DOOOO!
WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OH BABY!
Stralman with some revenge! Ahaha!
Here is your Swedish meatball, Maaaaartyyyyy!
STRAHLZY!
Resch has taken to just denying that Devils opponents are scoring goals
GREAT pinch by Stralman!!!
Standing ovation THIS. 1-nil!
booo yaaaaaa
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO EAT THAT YA FAT BASTAGE
Great pressure by the good guys!
WOW!!!!! I have no idea what kind of delay I’m working with here but…
WOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!
Last minute goal.
Killer….
Mmm that’s good hockey.
MARTY BRODEUR WAS NOTHING SHORT OF BRILLIANT
does Resch write Cangelosi’s lines
Dying, ilb. Just DYING of laughter :)
Chico made it seem like Clarkson was the one who threw the hit at Rupp.
I want a replay! NYR broadcast would have shown it!!
>>Resch has taken to just denying that Devils opponents are scoring goals
Very funny!
ilbster, did you go to ikea before the game?? While i find Ikea furniture reprehensible and disposable duckibill do partake in their culinary items. ...please reread previous blog post and the duckbill’s toast to the ilbster.
not pretty first per on our part but timely goal will take lead
lmfao swedish meatball
Lin, Sherry wrote for the Bergen Record, then the Daily News.
All the previous saves Brodeur made mean nothing; he gave up the goal eventually.
maybe so, but Sherry Ross sounds hot
i thought her name looked familiar Carpy. Thanks again ;-)
YESSSSSSS!!!!
Six more to go!!!!!!!!
Rangers want 7!!!!
GO RANGERS!!!!!
Well, she’s not 26…
hey Linda,
Link 2 on firstrow is the direct feed from that crap hole the Devils play in courtesy of that Swedish channel
HOLY CARP! INTERMISSION!!!!!!!!!!!! YEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSS!
THERE’S SweLi!!
Duckbill- tell duckbill that ilbster read his post and answered back too :-)
Hags has the power!!!
All that blubber in motion can effect your agility. It was only a matter of time we scored.
i guess the next time i’m at MSG , there’ll be hordes of lil pink Hagelin jerseys worn by the 12 yr old posse
”...and a more offensive spectacle I have never seen”
Lloyd, NHL Game Center is actually allowing me to watch on the service i pay for, and i actually got an intermission for the first time in a month and a half lol
Anyone wanna make bets that Torts is all frowny faced in the locker room over how it opened up in the last few minutes?
Haha!! There’s nothing worse on this planet than a pink Tom Brady jersey. Unacceptable!!
Daily News it is, she used to write pretty good pieces, I used to enjoy it…
Correction: there is nothing worse than a camouflage jersey of any type.
LOL, BANJ. Marty the Hut?
Mama… Bruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuce!
I know, guys, you’re anxious for update. Here we go: Crosby has soft-tissue injury!
I kid you not. Bwuaha-ha!
Thanks, Manny! Amen!
wait crosby has a soft tissue injury… i’m dying
yea yea i know they said neck, but it’s just too funny
Crosby update on MSG150 special.
Barf at the pink jerseys. UGH. They are horrible. Wear a real jersey for the love of the hockey gods.
If Lou doesn’t upgrade their defense, it wouldn’t matter whether Parise is in NJ or not. They’re not making the playoffs with this defense.
You got it, NYR!
Soft tissue injury for Crosby? OH the things going through my mind right now….
Mickey, Marty doesn’t sweat, he oozes melted mozzarella.
NYR_MOZZ?
that was an atrocious goal. maybe Daneyko was out scoring on the interstate again when they showed the replay.
lmfao melted mozzarella
domino’s is going to rename their cheesy bread Brodeur bread
VinceA?
Crosby update
Ilb, wish I was there with ya! LMAO @ Here is your Swedish meatball, Maaaaartyyyyy!
Sorry, but we have to delegate ilb. to check Cindy for final diagnosis and clever advice about his further career move.
Hey did you guys know that Crosby was injured?
separated at birth
Jeff Skinner and Johnny Weir
LMAO Manny!
VINCEA!!!
“He said I was dead?”
That’s what I’m worth to him? $25?
BANJ, that is even funnier considering I have a caprese salad as part of my dinner. LMAO!
Brodeur’s first endorsement, Domino’s pays him with cheese.
Obviously Crosby’s massive lips is the reason he has a neck injury. He’s like Dolly Parton. She complains aboot her back hurting all the time. It’s because of those massive gonzagas.
also, I realize this like 9 year old news but I only just read that Joe Corvo beat the crap out of a woman in a restaurant. nice guy. fits right in in Boston.
Lol Mickey!
I wanted to buy a camouflage jersey but I couldn’t find any… ;)
Bad Marty should really endorse Golden Corral..
Soft tissue injury? That’s Joe Thornton’s specialty…
well played Ilbzo!
The Pebble esta muerto. I guess all Rangers fan are still buying beer…
Finally heading home! LETS GO RANGERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
damn you jcp and your horrifying commercial. terrible campaign
Orr, that’s funny but please don’t ever compare Mushy Brain Hot Dog Lips to Dolly Parton ever again!
Dolly Parton fan, or hot dog fan?
lmao ORR!
Usually, nobody annoyed me more than homie Chicken Chico, but this time it almost like a comic relieve when he is going with his ninsence.
“An area of improvement that they need to improve on.”
Brodeur jumps rope with mozzarella cheese…
I’m afraid the PP looked better before the AS brake :-)
brodeur jumping? that’s a scary thought
Bryce Salvador must have been on the all-star team, right
Chico has an eye for talent
BYFUGLIEN!!!!!
pp taking too long to shoot.
IT’S NOT PRACTICE!!!!
and my online radio feed just
went kaput!
That would explain that mini earthquake a few months ago.
Another fruitful power play!
These guys have got to learn how to SHOOT. Please shoot the puck as soon as you get it on your stick! Think, “hey. if I get the puck here I am going to shoot it. Oh. Here it comes. SHOOT.”
power play is so freaking bad
The last time Bryce Salvador looked good on the ice was right after Chris Newbury beat the carcillo out of him….
CROSBY UPDATE
Penguins: Crosby has soft-tissue injury
http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=614561&navid=DL|NHL|home
I pissed and moaned about the PP (or lack thereof) for most of the season, but they’re clearly able to win without it. Additionally, the success of teams with nonexistent PPs suggests it’s something of an overrated category.
So until they start losing because they can’t score PP goals: F a power play.
Make that man a Ranger.
Umm….
Wow.
gabby no backcheck
lmao @ “F a power play”
maybe that’s the attitude they need lol
Is Zach Parise a Ranger yet?
TWO BRILLIANT SHOTS BY ZAC PARISE!!!!
I don’t have the heart to tell Chico that was a crap goal
Not a good goal for Biron to give up.
zach parise, future ranger, scores. ..
Boooooo
Soft goal. Looked like Beer-On took his eyes off Parise for a second, and it cost him.
balls
CLARKE!
nice shot
Or get him out to WC, NYR_FAN….
Parise. Think Jessiman. Thanks, Glen!
I despise that Prudential Center announcer
That was an unreal shot with the puck rolling….
Rangers better tighten up there soft tissues….
Rebound control is still an issue for Biron.
holy crap orr that guy is a sideshow reject
Viagra?
Well, my first post for several days has to be a negative one – lousy goal to give up from a horrible angle. Lokks like Bickel will ride the pines after that play.
CRAP!!!
Just got home, and that is what I had to see!?
lmao Staal!!!
being a mediocre goalie is Biron’s biggest issue. fortunately, he barely plays and Lundqvist is awesome.
we need the puck more chasing all the time.
Danny G and Mack Truck leading a 2 on 1. LOL
Slatsko, as you know, the “draft of the decade”...
would have been awesome if they scored
So all the people who guessed there would be a shutout tonight aren’t winning tickets. Prust sayin’
I know we want to sign Parise, but I really am starting to hate that kid…..
Yo Jimbo!
Linda:
You know damn well they’re going to lose this game now and it’ll be because they go 0 for a million on the PP.
Dammit….
Bickel’s dead weight.
LOOK AT THAT HOLD OF THE STICK!!!
someone needs to end Resch
That was holding?
I hate Chico…I really do.
Yo, NYR! Hope this doesn’t cost us – maybe we get a shortie!?
NYR_FAN That was Slats thinking with his soft tissue…
I can’t hate Parise unless he eliminates NYR from the playoffs.
NYR needs to get it together. Not liking this period!
Sucks that this team is so deep into “decline the penalty” phase.
Biron, by the way, made some great saves in the 1st. He’s not the problem.
Chico Resch could be the worst thing to happen to life in general
Chico needs to eat more, talk less. Maybe just take bigger mouthfuls.
Agree Biron is not mediocre…Islander goaltenders are mediocre…Philly goaltenders…etc etc.
Someone stuff a sock in Chico, please.
lmao Lloyd, it’s gonna come back to gnaw on their tushies
Guess I can thank FiOS for having an MSG feed..
Feel really bad for anyone that has to listen to Chico…he’s up there with Errey as far as homerism….
Back.
Orr, that’s a terrible question to even ask. How can you POSSIBLY even mention that spoiled, obnoxious, mushybrain uglyface in the same sentence as the most talented, hilarious, brilliant, and all-around awesome legend that is Dolly????
Rangers hockey saturday early afternoon, CHRONICLE later on
Rangers vs filthy Sunday and then its all Giants!
No one in any discipline is as bad as Chico Resch
“It’s hard to be a diamond in a rhinestone world.”
That’s right, girl.
Ponikarovsky is one ugly mofo…
Horrid play in this second period…
Rangers have been utter crap this period
this is ugly hockey
maybe some politicians Lloyd?
Hagelin flips that puck out of the zone so well. He does it quite often.
Sam, not a strong period for the devils, a weak period for the Rangers.
Have they taken any shots in the second period?
did they forget to leave the locker room?? OY VEY this has been 15 minutes of YUCK
did Richards’ teeth obstruct his thought process
Who made that awesome pass?
Trade Richards???
Brodiva told Horse Chompers: Transaction Denied….
lmao @ the roll of complaints about this period of hockey!! wavelength
ilb
I also have fios…no Sam and Joe in HD for me.
lmao Lloyd, he should have smiled and uncle daddy and blinded him before taking the shot
CCCP
no HD, just Sam and Joe on MSG 2
Horse Chompers! i love that name
No HD but Sam and Joe> Debbie game with Chico…
Good observation, JBytes….he is a very smart player all around. Stralman is certainly making his case tonight too…
Yeah, “clutch”…He will not have such a chance again…
Man..this period sucks!
What exactly does Dolly Parton do? I just know her as the really old version of Pamela Anderson. Is she a PP strategist?
nice pass from Stralman. just a shame it was full-on denture power on the other end.
Put Avery out there in front of Fatso…
Haven’t seen Bickel in a bit
DirecTV has the game with Sam and Joe in HD! Prust sayin’!
Boy…Rangers are playing like poop this period :)
LMFAO ORR!!!!!!!!!! that’s just hysterical
what did Resch just say about Brodeur? I was too busy with my fingers in my ears saying lalalalalala
Gee…they really didn’t show up for this period…
C’mon, guys!! It’s only Maaaaaaaaarty in net – you can beat him like a rented mule!!
Orr, I’ve got a newspaper here with your name on it. :)
Gabby with a bit of giddyup
Strange, CCCP. 580?
I have renewed respect for DirecTV…..
Sally does newspapers, too!!?
Who is Dolly?
what the hell was that penalty
Dolly Parton!? How did she get into this conversation!?
Come on Boys! Get one here!
Pete DeBoer looks a lot like Kevin Spacey
I think all female NYR fans are allowed newspapers!
Last minute. Time to score?
Jimbo, I think only when it comes to Orr. We have that kind of love-hate relationship. I get really confused and uneasy when we actually agree on something.
LETS GO RANGERS!!!!!!!!
Jimbo, I compared Crosby’s lips and neck pain to Dolly Parton’s chesticles and back pain. That’s how it got started!
Orr, i’ll pass on the newspaper, i have two pretty lethal fists lol
Really, ORR? I thought it was only Mama’s place to do the newspaper thing…
Jimbo, see Orr’s comment at 7:53.
THANKFULLY that 20 minutes of diarrhea on ice is over
Period over, thank the baby jesus
Linda, terrifying! Haha!
All Stars up on the Bruins. aha aha i like it aha aha.
Oh!!! I must have missed that comparison post, ORR – hmmm…...I think Dolly actually had her “assets” reduced in size – maybe Skidley can do the same!?
has Dan Girardi ever taken a slapshot
I am shaking them right now at that horrible commercial!!
Harry Potter is all grown up and in a movie i’d be too terrified to see…
just swithced over to pens games they are the biggest homers in all of sports
OK, Sally – I get it now – ORR, don’t pick on Dolly’s – err, nevermind!
No shifts for Bickel since the goal. And he plays third periods about as often as a Flyers starting goalie in the playoffs.
Girardi may not shoot “hard” but he hits the net consistently and that’s great. He only throws the puck up there in traffic and he looks for a rebound or deflection. I say KEEP DOING IT.
I assue, based on HBO 24/7 that he knows his slapshot is inaccurate and he realizes the importance of putting the puck on goal. Thus, he sucks up his manhood and does whats best for the team.
just saw this from Ranger Nation on FB:
Pierre LeBrun has said the New York Rangers have contacted the Carolina Hurricanes regarding Tuomo Ruutu.
sorry if its been posted earlier
NYR are playing down to the debbies level – they’ve gotta come out a lot better in the 3rd….
For some reason, Lloyd’s comment made me recall a Rangers set play on the PP utilized in the playoffs against these same Devils. Girardi would slap pass to Gomez on the far post. It failed the first time, and succeeded immediately afterward. Anybody remember that?
I wish “Stoner” was on our team. Sweet name.
Has anyone mentioned how much Avery annoys Brodeur? I bet we would be up 12-1 right now.
“Thus, he sucks up his manhood…”
Turn off the bongo flick and watch the hockey game, Månnu.
I have become LW’s eternal punching bag….and I don’t mind.
Never mind, CCCP….I just realized I was watching 579, just flip one channel up from 578…..it’s not listed as available, but I have it! WTB?
I’ve tried to wipe all memories of Gomez from my mind, Latona.
Second Crosby update
KNICKERBOCKER update
Isles against Carolina. The battle of titans…
There’s gotta be a funny thigh slapping joke in here somewhere.
Wowzah. Anybody see Vokoun just get toasted? Dude looks old.
tummo rutuu is not the answer for the rangers
I’ve blocked out memories of Gomez in Ranger blue, Latona – total no-recall!
And a quick Knickerbocker update too. Pidto, what a guy.
Well, Isles are winning 2-0, unfortunately….
“What a guy” is right!
Good point, LW. It was a Girardi thought, but, alas, Gomez had to be included for a thorough explanation. Pitiful.
Punk-aasen Parenteau and Mutt Moulson with gols…
Punk-Aasen Parenteau and Mutt Moulson with goals…
Nice-interview with Eminger on the-radio…
Ok, my-prediction’s out-the window. No shut-out for Marty-B…eeron. :/
Hey!! How did that happen!?
jimbo’s so excited! so nice he said it twice lol
How the hell is Denny’s a diner? I DO NOT UNDERSTAND THIS!!
it’s not exactly a restaurant lol ;-)
Literally LOL’ed, Mickey. I’ll give you a lunch point, considering your comment was food-related!
Mickey, what exactly is Denny’s then? It’s kind of like a diner, I mean, you can get ‘breakfast’ whenever you want, no?
Bickel decided the remainder of his night with that lame defense against Parise.
Hahahaha!! Yes, Lin – it’s true, I guess. My computer must be very excited!
I got a lunch point from Latona! WOOOHOOOOOOOO!!!
Happy dances for all!
the devils tv announcers are putting me to sleep. at least get to see Deb in between periods. lets GO RANGERS!
Let’s GO, Rangers!!!!
it’s not a typical diner.. but you gotta see what passes for delis down here
Is Lundqvist in goal?
BIRON!
Big save!
if Denny’s is a diner then Dominios is an italian restaurant.
Biron saves the day!
Kovy and Parise need to have somebody fall on their knees….
Biron is sooooo no mediocre
Almost a classic Del Zaster
anyone else having problems
with online radio broadcast?
keeps cutting out and i have to restart
surprisingly
radio is a few seconds AHEAD of TV
billy, it ASPIRES to be a diner, but falls very short, imo
Rangers, wtb are you doing??
LMAO Staal!
WOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!
RED HERRING!!!!!!!!
BOYLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BOYLE!
FLAVAH!!!
SANTA>>>I KNOW HIM!!!!
BBBBBBBBBBBBBOOOOOOOYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYLLLLLLLLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH
YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!! GASBOYLE!!!!!!!!!
boyleeeeeee
Nice patience by Boyler!!!
FLAVAH EXPLOSION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Boyling for goals! 2-1.
Boyler yes
BOYLE BEASTULA!
DIME A DOZEN!!!!
That is a VERY nice shot by Boyle. Too bad he wasn’t benched…...
Boyle! did anyone pick him?
Again, blubbler in motion….
WOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Boyle!!! He got a great story written about him in “Catholic New York” newspaper this week!!
BOYLE!!!
TOP SIX!
Brian Boyle is the Spartacus tonight.
Boyle with the garbage goal. NICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Marty doing his best beached whale impression on that failed save attempt.
FLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAVAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHLICIOUS@!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
had to pick myself up off the floor
Brodeur looked like a turtle turned on his back on that goal.
Love Bickel on the primary assist there.
The Devils broadcast just gave an assist to Eminger. LOL!
Oh wow! Thanks for head up, ilb! Just switched to 579 and I got Sam and Joe in HD!! But the channel isn’t even listed! WEIRD!!
Dime-a-dozen…
And Bickel was on the ice?
BOYLE. YEAH, GET RIDDA DAT GUY!
hahahahhhaaaaaa
Mickey, I agree about Denny’s by the way… although anytime breakfast is pretty clutch when you’re on the road and that’s all ya got :D
Staal, “if Denny’s is a diner then Dominios is an italian restaurant.”
That’s a contender for line of the night for sure. LOL.
Our Marty’s better
Very strange, CCCP. I guess MSG2 in HD is QUIETLY available on FiOS
Haha “Wasted Years” is being played at the Rock! How apropos! lol
Why does Micheletti keep calling Brodeur “Marty Biron”?
Just pretend we drafted Flavah instead of Jessiwoman….and then, everything feels alright….
http://cny.org/stories/Rangers-Boyle-Grew-Up-in-Family-the-Size-of-a-Hockey-Team,6877
thanks ilb, I was watching the non HD version
Denny’s < Waffle House.
Two Martys?
OURS BETTER! OURS BETTER!
LOL @ Staal comparing Denny’s to Dominos! Aces man, aces!
That’s funny JBytes because Chica just made the opposite mistake.
was that really Bickel’s shot?
Brodeur looked like he was trying to lick an ice cream stapled to his achilles.
>> I guess MSG2 in HD is QUIETLY available on FiOS
Cablevision and Dolan are just being stupid. I heard they gave Verizon MSG only, not MSG+ or MSG2.
Sally be careful, your soft tissues will stick to the table and chairs with all that fake maple syrup.
LOL LW!
I thought Bickel was physically glued to the bench by Sully?
I guess so, ilb! Strange thing is, you cannot add this channel to favorites
lmao Sally, there’s a waffle house a bit off the corner right across the street!! and another one two miles away lol
Bwahahahhahah What a HORRENDOUS penalty
billy, I agree with you on breakfast. It is awesome to be able to get it anytime.
LOL, Devils with the Tom Renney special
Ugh a PP? No thanks.
Yup!! Carp, it was.
lol, man, I don’t know what to address first…
anyways, if ever there was a time to need a powerplay goal, now would be it. Shove that bench minor in their face. Yea!
Waffle House? Great, NOW I’m starving!
Best thing about Denny’s! Ever! It’s amazing!!!!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PtFyhzMwnxg
Its a PP so you can watch this RIGHT NOW.
http://cny.org/stories/Devils-Brodeur-Grew-Up-To-Be-the-Size-of-a-Hockey-Team,6877
Crosby reference
lmfao stapled to his achilles!!!
I know lots of good diners but Denny’s is only good if I want a GI cleanse.
I have NEVER been to a Waffle House. Also went to one last year, but I couldn’t stand waiting in line in the smoke filled room.
God, what is it that causes us to be so disorganized on the powerplay???
LW?
LMAO LW!
It seems that the Rangers are not even trying to score on the power play anymore.
IHop is also very close, and Another Broken Egg.. you guys need to come visit lol
Staal, I should be so lucky to eat enough Waffle House to have that happen to me…
By the way, Mister Albert is ALSO saying Beer-on instead of Brodeur on the radio broadcast. I personally don’t know how you could mistake our Marty for theirs… unless there was some sort of fat suit… or circus-mirror optical-illusion thingy…
Hahahaha!!! LW, very good!!!
lmao JB, Lloyd and I earlier mentioned them not even trying on the pp anymore and maybe the reverse psychology effect would occur lol
dime a dozen.
Rangers PP = defense in the offensive zone
Welcome to the show kid.
Oh my god. Boyle laid somebody out!
Linda, what’s Another Broken Egg? Whatever, I’m on my way.
did he say LEVELS come out??
Think I’m going to get a Boyle jersey
I don’t care they are in 1 place, but this so called PP is absolutely SHAME! I can’t take it anymore!
Sadly Staal, there really aren’t an good east coast type diners here in Missouri. We do have a Denny’s and an IHOP practically across the street from each other. The closest east coast type diner is a 20-25 minute drive from here. But worth it on Saturday mornings
sally, it’s freakin awesome! soooo yummy.. massive, excellent breakfast choices, yummy sandwiches… soooooo good
We have REAL diners here in Jersey!
LGR! Finish strong!
Artie back with Gaborik?
Sorry MickeyM! I could send you a taylor ham egg and cheese if you’d like…straight from Jersey!
>>>We have REAL diners here in Jersey!
The best! No argument!
I’m hungry.
when i come to NY in the spring, I need to get to a diner pronto lol
Ugh, I dunno, I’m gonna say Waffle House > IHOP > Denny’s although I like Denny’s hash browns…
The diners around here used to be really good back in the day, but now, not-so-much. Everything is cheap and bush-league, like the Rangers powerplay.
Selfishchuk
Jimbo
and they are owned by Greek gods and godess’s
They probably never heard of Taylor Ham in St. Louis…...
Its ok, Staal.
Is Artie joking on that penalty?
Hush, Jimbo! :P
>>>and they are owned by Greek gods and godess’s
Absolutely! If it isn’t owned by Greeks, it ain’t a diner!
billy, “Waffle House > IHOP > Denny’s”
AGREE.
Taylor Ham is a Jersey-only product, just like beefsteaks!
Last time I ate at Denny’s…nevermind…let your mind wander
What, Mickey!? You know I’m right – you know what it is because you’re from up here, but the “natives” down there probably never heard of Taylor Ham…
Stop talking about the food! I’m about to rape my fridge! I’m on a diet! LOL
Huge kill here. No OT, please!
Taylor ham is the best tasting floor scraps ever!
“Absolutely! If it isn’t owned by Greeks, it ain’t a diner!”
ABSOFREAKINLUTELY!!!!!!!!!!!
Artie got called for a SLASH!? What!? That was like 2 Holds and a Hook plus a holding the stick.
BIG Kill Wanted!
Mmm. Baskinger’s from Clifton NJ beefsteaks!
add cheese, and egg on a bagel…its phaneuffing del zasterous!
CRAP
Fugg
Damnit!!!
Stupid play by our Captain. Stupid.
Bickels! :(
Damnit!
all on cally
They should have just dumped the darn puck.
Yup. I agree with eric.
I always had Taylor Ham here in Queens as a kid, Latona – maybe Queens is like the New Jersey of New York City?
Goddamned Kovalchuk – bastage!
Staal flinched
Sigh…Kovy doesn’t miss from there…
SONUVAFREAKINBEECHBASTAGES
Staal could have stepped up to Kovalchuk also, instead on kneeling down and giving him a free shot.
MDZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

MDZ shaved Marty’s armpit with that shot..
Michael Del Norris (didn’t sound as cool but makes more sense)
foxwoods final one
Wow….
Nooooooooooooooooooo
That bounce was AWFUL. EFF.
OMg
you gotta be kiddin me!
WTF?
Biron? What the fugg, man?
he was heading for post game noshfest
UGH. Are you kidding me?
aaaagghhh!
Can you fuggin’ BELIEVE that damned thing?????
ARGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH! I need to go to sleep!!!!!!
damnit so far behind
You’ve got to be kidding me.
Pay your union workers Devils and get that glass changed.
Of all the miserable bad fuggin luck in the damned world…...
of all the asshat cretins, it has to be that bouchernozzle
ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME!!!!
Unreal, sounds like a joke goal over the radio. Awww man, whattaya gonna do?! I really can’t stand Clarkson.
Biron was not at fault at all. Shut up!
This EATS
Always the usual suspects….Parise, Kovalsuck, and Clarkson…...
Brodeur leaving the ice must’ve loosened a screw in the boards at the other end of the rink.
Of course I had 3=2 rangers in the contest. THE FIX WAS IN!
Gah, get the 2nd point the Pebble just robbed them of.
When are the Devils going to stop celebrating goals by singing a song written and performed by a convicted child molester???
I’m already PO that Debbies got a point in regulation.
Disgusted as hell right now….
LMAO, LW
C’mon mean regression for the Devils in OT.
Brodeur just reached the bench.
LETS GO RANGERS!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bite me, Brodeur!!!! No wait…...
Now that glass was bush league!
is that freakin glass made out of jimmy hoffa’s ashes or what??
Do we have a plan for OT? Looks like we don’t
I hate it when people call me while I’m watching a match. It seems that Rangers always give up a goal.
48 seconds ….grrrr asshat team bail out with a point.. grrrr
>>>Bite me, Brodeur!!!! No wait…...
Sally, do you want to disappear!?
Biron not very good in SO, that’s true…
I had a phone call too, JBytes!!! I didn’t answer it, but it did the damage anyways!
turn off the phone jb lol
Jimbo, I don’t want to become Maaaaaaaaaaarty food. Ick.
Lets go Dubinsky!!!!!!!!
all these Rangers think they’re playing
in the allstar game
with all these fancy moves
i hope the Rangers freakin win so it doesn’t get to the Rick Carpiniello Honorary Skills Competition
Soft-ron!
aaaggghh
I’m listening on the radio but that sounded really exciting.
What a move by Stepan
Stop joking, and after next Dabbies lost, sign Parise!
manny you are infinitely kind amiguito lindo!
that replay makes me wanna puke grrrr
Rangers will not win if this goes to shootout.
Can we put in Hank for the SO!?
Skills competition…blah blah!
Need heavy mean regression for the Devils SO record.
Again….inept PP and going to a shootout!
Paging MZA!
Oh yeah, Carp’s favorite things ever!
Rangers 3
Debbies 2
Stanchion 1
Skills Competition!
Well, we’re gonna see about that…..
>>I had a phone call too, JBytes!!! I didn’t answer it, but it did the damage anyways!
From this day forward, we should ignore all phone calls.
hope Hank’s advice helps out Marty
Damn! Should have dressed EC! Fire Torts!
Maybe Brodeur will pull a groin?
Debbies got the biggest ## of wins in SO this season, who are Rangers shooters (in AHL), press box?
Rupp
Boyle
Bickel
hahaha, this stinks.
Leaves just blew a three goal lead in the third. Malkin with the game tying goal with seven seconds. Garbage!
Manny, we can only hope.
Or get one of his relatives to pull it!?
Brodeuer ate the pegs?
Biron is not very good in the shootout; he has a HUGE five-hole.
I’d rather have the Rangers record than the Devil’s shoot out wins…
Kinda wish we had Hank in net now..
I wish…
Can avery stand in front of fatso and wave his arms during the shootout?
Jimbo, ftw.
sloth loves debils
Kovalchuk and Parise are deadly.
Jesus – was Biron even in net? :-(
That’s probably it.
There’s nothing I hate more than a player missing the net in the shootout. That pisses me the fugg off!
sunsabeeches
I am getting mad…
how big is biron’s 5-hole holy crap.
no matter what happens
i’m hoping Carp or someone
grills Torts as to
why he’d use Biron tonight
and not tomorrow
Brodeur with the save…
No, Stepan missed it, you doofus!
damnit
Grrrraaaaaargh!!!!! Anger!
Uggh richy…
This is bad….....
sam its BEERON not brodeur
Oh COME ON.
Useless
Bad loss. Should have won!
Fudgenuts and applesauce :(
“Oh no. We suck again!”
Ridiculous win by the Debbies…Hate crap like this…
We fuggin LOSE! Thanks, Torts, thanks Marty….
Enjoy missing out on the playoffs via tie breaker Devils.
DISGUSTING FEELING
sheeep on a shingle…
Paging Dr. Hobbit Wizard
later heads…
FIRE EVERYBODY!
Who had GWG by the Stanchion?
later Staal…
who won the contest?
What a JOKE OF AN END OF A GAME. Where’s Miami?
I’ll be diped in cooke carsillo!!!...
I got nothing but the grumps. Hatrtnell it all. Good night all.
That was a terrible fuggin’ loss! Just terrible…...and uncalled for…....beat ourselves.
Chicago – Vancouver at 10:00. Maybe I’ll salvage something out of tonight.
Also, I blame Carp for his Go Time comments.
We’re doomed
Fire the maintenance staff
Nobody won the contest.
Guys, please, stop blaming Biron – it just not fair.
son of a hartnelling bearded biyatch this just sucks
nice five hole set up.
Hank got a rest and they got a lucky bounce. We get a point and need to focus on beating Buffalo tomorrow.
Now there’s a DAMN good hockey game.
Too bad about that skills competition they had after it was over.
It’s up to Sally now.
Biron’s 5-hole looked bigger than the St Louis Gateway Arch.
Total crap. We suck is shootouts, but that bounce was absurd. They cannot build boards and glass that are true?
Gaborik sure doesn’t get a hat trick when players are actually playing defense….he can’t even get one past fatso in the shootout…
worst loss of the season and Tortorella’s illogical decision to play Biron bites him in the ass.
BANJ, I got this.
Good game, I was afraid they’d have a letdown. One point, still 19 above .500. On to Buffalo
Manny “Who had GWG by the Stanchion?”
At least we can have a little laugh. Ugh. What a let-down. Dare I say… bush-league?
you guys complaining about that bounce, the goal was horrible, as were all the goals Biron allowed tonight.
Sally!
Atta boy, billy! We got a point. And since this blog doesn’t recognize the skillz contest we tied!
Don’t blame Torts. Don’t blame Biron. Sheesh guys.
1/2 tsp of cookie crumbs for the 1 point.
Ehh, they shoulda won but for a flukey bounce and the Bettman Bonus Point. Still got a point out of it. Pocket that and take it out on the Baby Buffaloes tomorrow.
At least Carp will earn some cash with the negative nancies all coming out tonight and tomorrow.
Yeah two goals where Devils players are given all day to shoot from the middle of the slot, Biron’s fault.
also, according to sage Chico Resch, the extra point didn’t even matter since the Devils accomplished everything they had to by finishing the game timed.
Biron let in a lousy shortside goal, and he’s not great in the shootout…..I don’t blame him for the flukey goal, but the regulation goal by Parise sucked…..and he still hasn’t seen Kovalsuck’s SO goal…..
Just telling the truth…..Hank is golden against the Devs – why change a good thing!?
Honestly we should care more about going 0-for-3 on the PP rather than losing in the shootout. There’s no shootouts in the playoffs.
the Richards and Stepan “shots” were pathetic
48 seconds! FORTY EIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! aaaaaaaaaargh!
gonna go get rid of this annnngah and work out..
try to sleep well ‘Heads. BEEFALOES up next.
Be careful, Lloyd, all that negativity will cause you to have an early heart attack some day.
Biron played a poor game. Just be honest.
Lol at people blaming the loss on Biron. Come on now.
Now the power play…that’s something that needs to be fixed ASAP. Fo’ real.
Rangers are bad in shootouts this year, but I’ll gladly take the increased amount of regulation and OT wins instead.
Have no fear… The boys are on their way to Buffalo and there are happy times ahead! LETS GO RANGERS!
Goodnight, Carp!
Biron wasn’t great tonight but the guy hasn’t played in weeks. Give him a break.
PP continues to be awful and will be our downfall in the playoffs
Rangers didn’t lose this game because of the power play. They played an abysmal 2nd period, spit the bit in the third and got poor goaltending. It happens.
Oh, please…Biron let one soft goal in regulation. Your back up goalie gave you a point. Move on.
Biron let in two soft goals and a so-so. He was lousy in the shootout.
Not everything with a Ranger jersey on it is great 100% of the time.
Biron has played better, but if the other 99 times that dump in rings around the glass and into the corner there’s a good chance he’s looking at a W with only 2 GA.
And I’d say the two games in Montreal and the game in StL looked a lot worse than this one.
fair enough but when you start attributing losses to bad luck, you sound like Chico Resch
Biron did his best, but it wasn’t good enough, obviously…..
Hank plays well in NJ – and maybe not so well in Buffalo – I would have played Hank tonight, but I’m not the coach…
I think when fatso plays against Hank he gets rattled because he usually loses to him – he played good enough tonight against Biron, though..
I mean, there was really no logic behind playing Biron tonight except for the coach to remind everyone that he’s the coach
Rangers need a better power play ….they score one on the PP in this game they win..
I am thinking about a lot of bounces that have gone the NYR way this year. I think they played well. Well enough to win. I am not upset…other than the fact that the devils got the 2 points.
I am just about over Anisimov though.
Wouldn’t call Stepan’s shot pathetic. He had room, just missed. Richards’ shot, yes.
Yeah Torts hates Lundqvist so he decided to start Biron tonight.
Stepan skated in and shot like he was going up against a 50-year old night leaguer at Chelsea Pier
Anisimov FAILED any audition he was having tonight. The Ducks and Stars were scouting the game tonight. I imagine AA will NOT be in any package for Morrow or Ryan….
CTB: yes, that is exactly what I said. you got it.
BACK TO REALITY:
Espo’s daughter passed away
http://lightning.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=614570
They need to play much better on the PP, and for goodness sakes, if they’re going to have to play in shootouts, they need to make the opposition goalie work for his wins! Those Ranger efforts were horrible!
I guess I will just have to live with signing Parise as a UFA on July 1st…
FIRE EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If you repeatedly attribute losses to bad luck, you have a point. But isn’t that tying goal just about as obvious an example of good/bad luck in a game as you could see?
Carcillo happens sometimes. Doesn’t have to mean there is a scapegoat for every loss.
Giving Hank an extra day of rest and practice is a legit reason. Too bad it didn’t work out. This team is lucky as heck to have Biron, unfortunate goals or not.
Yeah, AA and Richards need to show up a lot more. And the PP is, as always, a total disgrace.
this point will be the extra push over the cliff we needto make the 8th spot guys. cmon!!
LW3H:
Unlucky bounce or not, that’s a save you have to make, especially against David Clarkson at the point in the game. If it was Kovalchuk and it ripped it top corner of the carom, I’d be right there with you talking about how unlucky it was.
...off the carom
Thats horrible, jpg…Three kids too.
CTB, I think Torts was protecting Hank for a not so very good reason….nothing about hate, he was just too smart by 1/2….
You mean a hard rubber puck played on solid ice and deflecting off solid glass and metal plated boards isn’t going to have a 100% predictable path every time LW?
AA sucks. trade him for pp d man.
“an unknown illness”
wow. what the heck
Jimbo I’m joking about Hank. I hardly think Torts played Biron to prove a point to his All Star/backbone of the team goalie that had a shutout last time out. But some people will construct their own silly narratives no matter what.
Lloyd-there is a reason Biron is the backup here. Lower your expectations.
And the Rangers have a ton of games in March including several back to backs. So I think you will be seeing a lot more of him in important games.
I don’t have any issue with playing Biron once a week, I just don’t see the logic behind not playing the goalie who’s won 90% of the games he’s played against the Devils in the last five years
i cant believe we havent gotten rid of the coach yet…
My God, what a terrible thing about Espo’s daughter – how old was she, I wonder? Sick….
yes naturally when you question a coach’s decision it means you want him fired
how many of you guys made it through high school
I guess not, CTB. But it is apparently a 100% certainty that an NHLer with 15 goals receiving that deflected puck in the slot and (understandably) having nobody near him should be stopped 100% of the time, just because it happened in the last minute.
OK, CTB – I knew you were being sarcastic, and not to me! It just hurts to lose to the Debs, especially in a game we were never behind in..
i graduated the sixth grade
COMPLETE BUSH-LEAGUE
SIGH.
Anyone want a Pujols STL baseball card? I can get them for half off!
I agree, Miami!!!
OMG, Torts thought it was a ‘bad bounce’. He’s an idiot, fire him right noW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m 99% sure you’re wrong LW3H… and I’m also 99% sure that you know that. What’s worse is, your words are “falling on deaf ears.”
It’s OK everybody. Carcillo happens. We got a point. Let’s move on.
what sport is this?? i graduated sixth grade, never made it to high school like lloyd
Once again, the lack of top end skill haunts the Rangers. Cannot help but admire this team for their work ethic and willingness to sacrifice their bodies, but IMO, that shortcoming will be their undoing.
The question remains: Do you continue the current building process and continue to add the likes of Kreider, Thomas, etc to the roster and hope someone like Parise becomes available, you can fit him in AND he wants to sign or do you use assets to address that very obvious shortcoming??
Or do you make a significant move (ie before the deadline)?
Tough call…..
COMPLETE THATSAMATEURHOUR.COM
Can someone please fix the weather instead of moaning about the Rangers? It was in the 60s yesterday and today and will be the 50s the next few days.
WHERE IS WINTER????
jim you are truly one of a kind
new post.
I believe I won the contest. I had the score however I didn’t say OT. Does that matter ?
