Game 49.
First, about the ticket contest. I’m still tabulating the results. Looks like we had two contestants with 4-3 Devils, and neither had Kovalchuk with GWG. Hope to make it official shortly.
Next, we’re planning a live chat tomorrow, Thursday, at 11:30 a.m. So plan on bringing questions/comments and pretending you are working while at your computer. Also, please use a screen name when you ask/comment.
Ya boys, thanks to the BCATHGE (breakaway contest after the hockey game ends), are NHL-undefeated in their last three (2-0-1).
In case you missed it, the Devils’ Eric Boulton was fined the max $2,500 for his slash that stung the left hand of Mike Rupp in the second period last night. Tortorella was livid when it happened, but said that Rupp is fine.
Henrik Lundqvist in goal tonight against the Buffalo Baby Buffaloes, puck drop around 7:37 on NBCSports. Same lineup, meaning Erik Christensen and Wojtek Wolski—BCATHGE specialists—remain prucha’d.

BAZINGA!!!
wtb is everyone!!
Drachma!!
Let’s GO RANGERS!
SAY NO – TO BUFFALO!!
LGR!
It’s been while since Gaby had a 5 goal game. What’s stopping him? Prust sayin’...
Let’s Go Rangers!
FIRE SATHER!
gogogo…..GO!
buffalo will be hungry out home. need to match there speed
{{{{LINDA}}}}
C’mon Arty. Have a good game. You are being showcased!!!!
LOL! cw, I think the showcase is pointless in his last 15…
Estoy Harto de pinches pendejos poblanos pero amo a mi querido Manny-uel, Latona y el ‘ilbster’..Son lindos y me caen super bien!
oh, yeah…and LETTUCE GO RANGERS!!
OGOOG GOO OG!
la puerta esta abierta. LA PUERTA ESTA ABIERTA!
Somebody left the gate open.
CROSBY UPDATE!
BING IS STILL DEAD.
I don’t understand all this Spanish!!
Also, my alma matter just called looking for money. I gave it them, but I would rather they give me free tix to the basketball game tonight here in STL. GO BONNIES!!! First place in the A-10!
Hags tiene el poder!!!
Lol, duckbill. Be nice! Btw, what do you think would be the closest to LMAO in Spanish?
Someone shut the damn gate!
LGR!!!!!
On the pre-game show, Mike , while trying to compliment Hagelin, claimed that he cheated to win the fastest skater contest. I haven’t heard this from anyone else – any one know what he’s talking about?
GO SALLY GO !!
{{{{{OLGA}}}}}
lmfao bing is still dead
Sorry, meant Mike Milbury
any one know what he’s talking about?
No, Scott and Neither does Milberries.
Typical bitter drunk Mike Milbury can’t give proper credit to the NYR. He is referring to Hags jumping the gun in the first heat of the all star race. Doesn’t mention that Hags BLEW THE DOORS OFF the guy in the next heat. Silly drunk. He will never be Don Cherry.
ilbster, i iwill look into that…when i said pinche pendejo poblanos i was also referencing a joking way to refer to poblanos o gente de los pueblitos en mexico…we call them ‘pipopes’...but do not say that with malice for it is harsh when not said amongst friends as gentle ribbing. ...i like to use this when I laugh in spanish on the internets: JAJAJAJAJA.
C’mon Arty SELL YOURSELF TONIGHT!!!!!!
>>wtb is everyone!!
I was busy turning off all the phones in the house.
As long as the crowd doesn’t throw stones, sticks and chairs at the Rangers at the end of the game like they do to first place teams in egypt, ill be happy.
How the hell did Milbury get that job anyway?!? It’s like Bernie Madoff getting a job as an analyst on CNBC.
seriuosly we need arty to show up the next two weeks so we could trade him in a package for ryan suter. one could only dream
cw- I think he beat up some kid for it…
>>la puerta esta abierta. LA PUERTA ESTA ABIERTA!
What’s the story with the Spanish? Did Gomez score a goal?
ilbster, my nephew also uses this a lot ‘XD’ when he texts me…the eyes closed and mouth open with laughter…jajajaja!
Good idea, JBytes – I should do the same. That call last night ruined everything!
No Vanek? Things just got better.
Gotta go – watching on DVR.
But we can’t lose, Sally in da house !
LGR !!
College basketball, Mickey? Really? Say it ain’t so!
Suter ain’t getting, eric. The Preds are too close to a playoff spot.
Got it, duckbill. Thanks. Small nuances like that one are still difficult for me…
not a milbury fan
but he’s making some sense on
what Rangers are doing wrong on pp
still
MOVE YOUR FEET AND SHOOT THE PUCK!!!
>>As long as the crowd doesn’t throw stones, sticks and chairs…
Now, THAT’S what I call a rivalry.
It’s my alma mater, Jimbo! Nothing like a Bonnies game at the RC, the students going beserk, throwing cookies at John Chaney, the old ‘warm up the bus’ and ‘you can’t win here’ chants.
Man, I miss my college days :(
LETS GO RANGERS!!!!
LETS GO SALLY!!!!
LETS TO LINDA KRAMDEN!!!!!
Ryan Miller kind of looks like he’s about to either make bathtub gin or play a washtub bass.
cmon boys get a good start
why are you calling me kramden
Doc, it’s a 100 goals as of last night.
If Pierre McGuire wore a monocle, he could play Col. Klink…
C’mon Rangers- win it cause Sally’s in DA HOUSEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Oh, OK Mickey – we’ll have to cut you some slack, in that case…...... ;-)
no vanek and stafford. need to take advantage
Rangers win 5-2! BOOM!
“Pierre and Ryan Callahan at centre ice in a moment.”
Wow, the Sabres have more injuries up front than I thought.
they could do the whole Col. Klink life story…pierre as the younger and doc as the elder
Do you drive a bus, Lin!? ;-/
LOL, awesome observation Olga!
Now if Pomminville would just lose his skates….
Roch-cha-ha, NY, baby
And Milbury could be Sgt. Schultz… “I know no-thing!”
Rollerskates
Let’s Go Rangers, dammit!
What happened to Stafford? Did he get injured during ASG?
LET’S GO RANGERS!!!!!
Let’s go Rangers! You better win since I decided NOT to go to see my alma mater play basketball and watch you instead
Stafford and Vanek got injured trying to find Miller’s 7-hole.
If there is one subject Milbury can speak with some authority on, it’s players who leave somewhere before they should.
Stafford has the flu according to Mike Harrington, Sabres beat writer.
Did he say “the stick never impedes the player” and then they showed a replay of McDonagh tripping someone?
What a loser Kaleta
Thanks, Spider…
Ouch ref
Look at that ref consoling the other ref. How sweet.
Oh, boy….He looks ok though
rangers waiting for game to start or what?
Owie for the ref
Back to one ref hockey
Sign the ref
aww that is sweet orr
One ref let’s get nasty I feel like its 1997!
Did he swallow his whistle?
Kelly Sutherland’s face was holding the glass together behind one of the goals in Newark last night.
Let’s GO RANGERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So glad I can watch the game on TV tonight. MSG SUCKS!
Leino is terrible
Hags should have went across the net to Steps there.
Leino is overrated. I’ve always said that! I’m always right!!!!
I think Hags did try to pass it, but he accidentally put it on net. I could be wrong…but, I’m always right!!!
Leino sucks.
You might be right, ORR. He did go far post with it, so it could have just been a fail pass.
Oh, wait, you’re always right!
Leino =product of deep team and weak competition last year
Tonight my phone rang and a ref got brained – I tell you, these phone calls are lethal!
Costas update
great keep in there gabby
Nice hit from behind on Prust going for the puck
I hope Kylie is watching.
LOL @ Costas update
You can watch it on TV, NCountry, but you have to listen to Doc – good thing Chico isn’t still with him…
Someone hit him so he cries again
Doc’s word of the night is Big.
Doc = True Professional
Does anyone know when Brad Richards is supposed to arrive from Texas?
Carp, I was wonering if you’ve seen an increase or decrease in site visits since the whole MSG vs. TWC bull carcillo?
Buffalo D is SOFT
“Doc = True Professional”
Yup.
hey!!
that direct tv just made fun
of tons of people i know.
bastages!!
Dave Maloney, “I think they have hot dogs here in between periods, don’t they?”
hahahahaaa, they hadn’t cut away to commercial yet, Dave :D
Jimbo, i’ll put up with Doc, it’s still better than watching a choppy internet stream.
Maybe Torts will let out more frustrations with Pierre than he did with Engblom. We can only hope!
i like how when the team passes the puck out of their zone, doc says, “its punched out of the zone.” why?
LOL! He called Prust “a rugged individual.” Ha!
that was a high hit!!!! where’s the call!
Ennis anyone?
I hear ya, NCountry – the streams were giving me fits and yips….I couldn’t stand them anymore!
rupp u slug
Where’s the replay NBCVS?
Why is NBC sports so terrible. They don’t follow the puck, they don’t commentate, they show irrelevant videos… / sigh
Didn’t stop Kovalschmuck last night in an important PK, though….
Doc has creativity. He’s the hockey version of Walt Disney!
I love it when that happens, Billy! I remember during a broadcast, Sam was complaining to Joe that he didn’t want to go to a party his wife was going to. Haha! Then there was the Howie Rose incident.
Great, just great….
What kinda penalty is that?!!
BS!
What is this?
5 on 3. Seems like there hasn’t been that many 5 on 3’s against us. NY conspiracy?
Lovely
I think he dove to play the puck.
Late to class…sorry
We’ve killed even more power plays if you count our own that we didn’t score on.
Lol. Good one, BANJ.
Wow they’re as bad as the Rangers
Tyler Ennis is the first NHLer whose initial and surname form the name of a sport since Frank Ootball of the 1978/79 Atlanta Flames.
Is it time for another Costas update yet?
Hank!
wow, what a shock, didn’t take long for more bad refereeing.
Lol, that was close
lol 2 guys that dont score dont score!!!
That puck was in the Rangers net last night.
bury it prust
Oh scissors scissors!
Costas sux…..
Scissor Sisters?
Scott Scissons?
LOL @ Pierre saying Montreal wishing they had an eraser for the Gomez heist…
No Gomez trade reference=take a drink!
Milbury could have used a gallon of White-Out.
I think it’s my lucky day and won those tix. I had 25 ranger shots and the other dude had 22. Actual yesterday was 26
eric, prust doesnt score anymore. plus, the rangers arent allowed to until the 2nd period anyway
Every junior program is legendary according to Pierre
Sign LaFontaine and Bodger quick!
Mike Weber. Somewhere between Shea Weber and Yanick Weber.
Did Piere say Torts was a good tactician? Is that the same as strategy?
Penalty on running the goalie?
Stratergery
Did Prust really think Kaleta was gonna fight him?
Atta’Boyle!
Yeah, punch Kaleta in the face. Repeatedly!
Kaleta = Carcillo of western NY
Boyler has the Superman hair curl going.
Of course Kaleta will fight Prust…
Hand issue?!
cmn boyle shouldve smacked him down
ok i’m back… oy vey
Boyle just dried his glove against Kaleta’s mug. He’s good to go
Bah…lousy period….played down to opposition again.
atta boy Boyle
THAT’S RIGHT KALETA YOU’RE GOING TO TAKE THAT. SORRY YOUR “HAND” HURTS
I think they mentioned Kaleta told Prust he couldn’t fight because of his hand issue….They did show what Prust said:”Byfuglien bull carcillo!”
Kaleta must have injured his hand masturbating. I thought I heard Pierre say that Kaleta likes his Peca, or something like that. He even names it “Mike”. A bit odd, if you ask me….
back just in time for dingleberry and jones… argh
what a pile of crap McGuire is trying to sell … Kaleta won’t fight Prust because of a hand issue? Kaleta wouldn’t fight Prust if doing so would save the world.
Ohh, my Celtics are on. I forgot! Go Celts! Bird! Great Dad! Aha, Aha!
jimbo- i didnt see the jersey game, but they look crappy tonight. 1 chance and it was shorthanded. where is richards? is he playing? benched?
Another lousy period. That’s now three out of the last four periods have been lousy.
They are looking stale particularly on offense. They need to figure out hoe to play in the offensive zone.
czech
lets first start with having the puck more
well done Carp
Um. Maybe if the $60M man and the supposed second-line left winger ever decide to show up … (sorry Sally).
Drury 2.0.
ORR!!! Beware the Blogfather! ;-D
Grabby, worse than last night – at least they got a goal and had a few more scoring chances in the first period last night – tonight so far, nothing much at all…
Richards is an enigma lately…..
Carp, it’s pitiful. And, I know you like Dubi.
the sixty million dollar man should take a few g’s and fix them choppers ;-) AND FREAKIN SCORE PLEASE
At least Dreary made pizza. Richards was living in Texas, so all he knows how to do is deep fry stuff.
Deep Fried Zucarrello! Mmmm…
Was making dinner and researching what exactly a billiken is. Did Dingleberry say anything insanery stupider than normal?
Drury is still rolling in dough. Give Glen a hug..
Eric
Agreed. No one carries the puck for more than 1- 2 seconds or like a hot patato. They don’t pass it either. They just dump it in so much now that they are becoming predictable and easy to defend.
Torts has said in the past that he doesn’t coach offense only defense. Perhaps he should start.
LOVE ME SOME DEEP FRIED ZUCCARELLO!
still sucking up a ton of salary cap space, too.
Since he was in Texas, Richards might make some good ‘que…...or at least chomp some with those big choppers!
Best chance all night.
So far best Brich efforts
i think Dru … er, Richie, must have read the blog between periods.
That was actually a decent play by Horse-Chompers….
Richards’ iPhone timer went off…Good morning, Brad!
Slow-smoked brisket..?
lmao Horse Chompers.. you crack me up every time you type that
Mr. Edchards
A Bickel sighting
Doggoned Miller is sucking up all the rubber so far tonight…..
I have a feeling it was Torts, not his iPhone though
LMAO!!!! Mr. Edchards!!
Waste of a shot Prust
Buffs are sloppy, we MUST win against this team
miller didn’t look too good last period
a bit better this period
unfortunately
still
need more more more shots on him
Cally’s prett feisty tonight, he’s got his Irish AND his Italian up
Salt Lick Barbeque Brisket!
mmmmm, bbq
Instead of giving Richards gatorade and water, maybe he should be given hay. Is that what horses chomp on?
No Pierre, Ehrhoff’s plus/minus shows you how good it can be playing with the Sedins and a career year Kesler.
hay and lasix
I bet those choppers are good for corn on the cob.
Pretty solid goaltending on both ends.
lmfao Slatsko.. like a typewriter
Gabby, how to try something individually – show some “starship”, hah
Ryan Crazy EYES bad hair miller…
Richards could probably use EC as floss and toothpick combo. Save him a lot of money.
“Kaleta wouldn’t fight Prust if doing so would save the world.”
hahaha.
Carp, Richards is still adjusting to his new team, give it time! I’m also of the opinion that I’ve almost lost patience with the whole thing. He’s ours for better or for worse :/
john williams is a composer
as Carpy mentioned earlier, he has to be hurt.
imagine flossing those things?
So far only Hank demonstrated star game.
List of people grateful that Jeremy Roenick was in the booth for the All-Star Game:
Jeremy Roenick
Anyone involved with a network showing alternative programming at that time
But again, who BRich is playing with…?
one things for sure, it wouldnt take him long to gnaw off an arm or leg to get out of a trap or cuffs lol
Torts must really believe in this line-up to not put in Wolski/Christensen/Woywitka after a loss in which they gave up three goals. Though it was very close to a regulation win.
Oooo, Tyree catch!
Brad, we kid because we love lol
No Tyree for the Super Ball!
Brad we love when you score!
Had to go back and read what I posted when NYR signed Mr. Edchards:
NYR_FAN© “Dey tuk ar Jags!”© July 2nd, 2011 at 11:55 am
This is disgusting…9 years? Manageable cap hit but I still think the Rangers had no business getting in a bidding war. He better have a few 80 point seasons and click with Gabby or this contract is a disaster. So, this makes us elite right?
Boyle makes us elite.
Why does Doc say the puck was “nubbed” on? What in holy hell?
If we had a player named Eli, we would be elite.
Is it just me or have NYR been icing the puck with some frequency as of late?
where the hell has Dubi gone this year, is he still holding out???
someone should tell Torts “No POWER play for Mr. Gray”
Ennis is just lucky that his first initial is not P
“New Jersey is starting to come”
Did anyone’s stomach turn when Pierre said that?
Devils love by Pierre and Doc…just what I want to hear…..
nubbed lol!!
mmm honeycrisp apple!
we lucked out by that quick whistle.
ugh!!
our play….
trying to be patient.
ugh!!
Brady could QB the PP. He also has a Supermodel wife! Boom!
Dubinsky demoted
It’s games like this where these types of players and the 60 million dollar man need to step up
Doc and Pee-air are nubbin the Debbies
That’s when we need a game breaker
Who really impressed me quetly for a long time now – is sweed with a russian name Anton, which I unfortunately can’t say recently about Cally.
oh-oh!!
Legendary coach at Wisconsin from Pierre with love.
where’s the call on the hook against Girardi? WTB!!!
Nubbed
nubbed into the air
Dull game with Emrick calling it and waffling (waffleboarding?) on about nothing reminded me about a post when I tried to articulate it before…
“One of tonight’s goal judges is from East Nozzleford, Minnesota. You might remember his great uncle Stanley playing for the East Nozzleford Nuggets of the old Western Colonial Hockey League in the late 1950s…”
“nubbed into the air”...that just doesn’t sound good…
N.CountryNYRFan ,
Do you REALLY want a PP???
A nubber one?
Nubbin sounds like it leads to soft tissue issues…just sayin
ought-ought.
What is this, the 1700s, Doc?
BOOOOOOOOOO HISSSSSSSSS A TIM THOMAS COMMERCIAL
HE DARED NOT SHOW UP TO THE WHITEHOUSE BOOOOOOOOO HISSSSSSSS
I’m glad I’m listening on the radio again. It’s on 1050 tonight BTW… no Knickerbockers.
NUBBED!!
NUBBED wide. It’s his new favorite word.
gawd, now nubbed is going to be done to death by this shrill arsed harpie
Bye, Bye, Bickel!
thats looked a little like a dive c’mon
nubbed bickels…
It was Bickel swan song, IMO
bickel time has come too bad injuries
This Bickel experiment has to stop.
Bickel nubbed himself out of the NHL!
Next, and last time Bickel will be on the ice is when he leaves the penalty box
so, let me get this straight, buffalo player holds bickel’s stick and the penalty is on bickel.
Brandon Nubinsky
harpie lol
Costas Update
like to see that Hags is smart defensively
I’m in the mood for some nubbin.
La Cross checks. It’s French!
what are lacrosse checks, this is hockey!
Wow, Cally got lucky!
like to see the refs calling a tight game…only against us!
what the carcillo emerick?!?
you STILL NEED TO HAVE CONTROL OF YOUR STICK!!!!!!
it’s a penalty!
seriously…too many nubs..WTB?
How come no call on Cally? What the Nub?
YES I’M SURE BECAUSE OF THE FOLLOW THROUGH IT’S NOT A HIGH STICK
Pierre said McD got hit first. And that should have been too many men based on the Rangers not being able to play puck around them.
It seems like the end of the fifth period….
these refs blow chunks big time, horrible!!!!
I’m starting to think humans are getting dumber…Full Metal Jousting…?!!
Yeah, I dislike the TMM rule. Theoretically, Buffalo could send all their men onto the ice, and as long as they don’t play the puck, it won’t be called.
this game is painful.
are there officials on the ice? what the nub is going on?
No way would a member of our team get away with that follow-through stick to the face…
you’re only NOW noticing this Staalsie
I think the non-call on the follow through was correct, disirregardless of whether that’s what the rule should be or not.
Staal
i saw that Full Metal Jousting
and thought that it’s another
sign that we’re being dragged back
to the Middle Ages.
maybe, we’ll be seeing fights in the
lion’s den soon.
you know, brought to you by the producers
of Survivor
If anybody wants to know what a “nub” is. Look at this.
http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/nub
LMAO @ the fourth definition.
lmfao orr
nub, the top of the hockey stick
nib, a short piece of licorice
This is a real snoozer. Since when are the Sabres allowed to play with 8 guys on the ice?
DELORIS!
Linda, I saw it probably a week ago but I was too busy nubbin
jpg…seriously…agree…as a society we are regressing
nob: the entire NBCsports/Versus/OLN broadcasting crew
as opposed to
to kaleta
who is a
nob
lmfao too busy nubbin!!!
humanity keeps devolving…. this is not a good thing
Awful goals given up by Vokoun
well done jpg lol
Brandon Dunothininksy
Who was that female reporter on the NHL Network commercial?
Am I the only one who is bored by this game?
Sally and CJ must be sittin there just waiting to celebrate a freakin win…
LETS GO RANGERS.. for Sally and CJ!!!
Dubinsky demoted again. Geez. When is he going to figure it out?
Let’s Go Rangers!!!
TEETCHARDS!!!! FTW!!
this is a game where it would be nice for richards to earn his money. set someone up and finish. his line needs to be produce
This is a game, where stars should shine!
Mr. Edchards will score this period!!!!!!! and we will be chompin at the nub with joy lol
He-Man… Step-On … Butt-Chin…
nice.
Hello, Gabby and Brich!
Lundqvist is shining.
Great save by Hank through the screen
No, you are not, 4ever…..it is horrible – another one of those “first goal wins the game” contests that I despise….
Every time Hank playing behind the net, my heart goes in bickels area…
“we will be chompin at the nub with joy lol”
You’re a cunning linguist linda.
I have a sneaking suspicion this game will end like last nights….
Double ow
BTW, jokes aside, Hank IS playing today as an only star
nubbin=rubbin Pee-airs head to increase shine and stupidity
“Dubinsky demoted again. Geez. When is he going to figure it out?”
That’s been my feeling for a while. But, maybe he needs a change of scenery? CT?
Lucky!
Ping!
What are these announcers talking about…how do you talk your team into a PP?
sheeezus!!
a line with Richards and Artie?
the Worthless Line
ugh!!
Buffs defencive sloppiness SHOULD be punished even by mediocre team, c’mon!
Here comes the deadly power play!!!
Ennis with a midlevel stick
PP…guess Tort’s talked his team into that one…huh
please one time come through
Eeek! A PP. I can’t look!
..
wow we actually got a PP, it’s only be about 10 missed calls…jeez
JUST ONCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So, who wanna bet…?
wow…nubbin….
Putrid.
19 skating on the PP is starting to look like another 19….
As if the PP couldn’t be any worse.
nubbin going on this PP…
Did Pee-air just say Torts … nvm…
Bobby Orr couldn’t help this PP
This is an all time low.
just an utter disgrace
its so deflating this pp
i don’t even have the energy to curse
anymore on this piece of carcillo
cooke power play
how freekin pathetic!!
Call up MZA before it’s too late! Another goon will try to kill him again in the AHL!

a whole lot of nubbin going on…..........
DAMN THE POWER PLAY TO INFINITE HELL
I have a bad feeling that everything will be desided by some fluke goal…
LMAO Linda!!!
for being a supposedly crap
team
buffalo sure shows a lot more
happening in our zone
as far as setting up and
taking shots.
maybe Torts should show film
of the sabres to show the Rangers
how it’s done.
hey guys, i don’t know if you heard this yet but…”there’s just no room to make a play out there”
i hope Cally’s Nana isn’t there tonight
but that she’s alright
So, if Gerbe sees his shadow tomorrow are there six more weeks of bad hockey in Buffalo?
Stahl got lucky there. Should have been a penalty.
FLavah dumpin bones
Oh, my!!!
how nice that we don’t have a timeout
Hagelin is like a chupacabra on skates…can’t budge him.
Wayyyyyyy too many unnecessary icings.
post all star break points are hard to come by
play with some damn urgency
i say next power play just toss out Rupp and Prust
jpg, maybe chris webber can call a time-out for us?
what in the hell was Staal THINKING?!?
he has to know that there’s a man
right behind and that the puck isn’t going
to be icing
so he takes his time to move the puck
and allows all the chaos to happen in the
Rangers zone
STUPID!!!
WHERE IS SCOTT GOMEZ TO RUN MILLER OVER WHEN YOU NEED HIM?
This is just a good, old-fashioned goalie duel…
Never scoring again :(
good one duckbill
Prust has been possessed for last few weeks…healthy much?
Mr.Richards, show me the money, or better your saving account, for PP sake!
had this point just hang on and get a pt and force ot
thank you, JP&G Industries (JPG)
i swear, Hanks been in the league long enough to have his freakin name pronounced correctly… ASSHATS
SERENITY NOW
APOCALYPSE NOW
or at least a goal
Hey Pierre, Torts switched Hags to Richards/Cally line earlier in the period
I think they only know how to clear the puck…nubbin!!!
Looks like Buffs decided to win this game
So many icings! Driving me nuts!
LMAO AT APOCALYPSE NOW!!
Foxwoods Final
NubFive coming upStralman’s having a rough game.
Unintentional Nubbing!

down the ice.
it’s almost as if he’s doing us a
favor since our
offensive sux a bag of carcillo
tonight
why wouldnt stralman change they had a clear before the icing. was on for ever
sooner or late, with their enthusiasm it turns to a goal
LMNAO DUCKBILL

Overtime relief. That’s one point in the barn.
goalies have been ‘alright’
announcing has been lacking
Sabre PP looking very Ranger-like
hopefully there’s no BCATHGEs…
BCATHGE?
PS Ryan Callahan is just awesome. I know we know this, but my god has he ever upped his game since he came into the league.
dude, slow down so your tongue gets out of the way when you’re going to speak…asshat
miller could have been had

all head to Europe
and now they’re playing
like they did in october?
pacifico is way better than dos equis.
me too, billy.
the pk has been great. the PP has been offensive.
C’mon, Del Z! WTN?
well that was exciting
Awww, DZ!
Girardi down!
Hit the fuggin net Del Z!!! Dang it!
OK power play! 4 on 3!
PP! C’MON!!!
Nooooo, not Danny!
It is moving heartattack all of the sudden.
gawd that ennis kid looks like he belongs on team manbearpig
Hmm, that was no penalty.
How is that not a game misconduct?
Boston repeat please
NUBBED
shut the fugg up Lindsay!
Time for the hockey Gods again.
i’m sorry
but Girardi allowed himself
to get clobbered.
don’t think it was a penalty
doesn’t matter
we have no pp
Wasn’t much of a board, to be honest, Manny
borderline call, at best.
How bout a righty shot up top?
nub…
wheres the clown car music?
Terrible shot by Richards
PLEASE RANGERS!! Spare us another Honorary Rick Carpiniello Skills Competition!!!!!!!
INTO THE CHEST?
INTO THE CHEST?
SERIOUSLY???
I COULD DO THAT
AND I SUCK
AS A HOCKEY PLAYER!!!
This is just dumb. How do you not score 4 on 3? (last time I said this they scored)
foibles and nubs.
pass…....pass….......pass…...........pass…..................pass….............pass
Did little Ennis leave his feet?
They’re waiting too long to shoot.
work that D down low on the 4 on 3….that is all!
+5 for foibles!!!
Horrible PP
Poor Sally…
at least HageMe tries!
I find watching this offence on the power play quite offensive.
do you think we can go the entire game post sunday withOUT mentioning the power play? maybe if we ignore it, it will work itself out….....or just go away lol
WOW!!!
HOLY CRAP!
dear god
Wow Staal is a little slow…a little foible there…
At least we have a chance in aSO with Hank…However, at least one have to score in our team. Donno about it..
I used to be so confident watching NYR in the shootout. Not so much anymore.
Hey. A tie
we are so offensively challanged
4 on 3
no goal
sabre with open net
no goal
neither team deserves 1 point
let alone a second point
pathetic!!
philly is going to get major revenge
sunday if these players don’t get
their collective head on straight!!
That should have been the game…
Yep. Another BCATHGEs.
hahaha, Mister Maloney just said ”...silly shootout.”
Sorry Sally :/
Henrik. Lundqvist. Pure. Awesomeness.
Here, Linda:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZnHmskwqCCQ
Just unbelievable…..
Wow Staal is having a very rough night
Least you aren’t at the game and working, right Carp?
man Staal with some bad plays…hope his head is ok
Carp must be shaking his fists at the screen right aboot now!
Hank with back to back shutouts. Nice.
No ties in hockey…
richards leads league in most attempts without scoring in shootout
manny? hermes?
Staal hasn’t had many good nights so far regardless of what Joe M tries to sell us
If this game were a player, it would be Jody Shelley.
wow!
was almost gonna do
a spur of the moment
drive up to buffalo
among other things
headache kept me in town
glad i didn’t go.
i think i either would have been tossed out
of the arena for cursing out these players
or
held it all in
and grew an ulcer that would have bled me
to death
lmfao LW.. ugly?
Thank god Vanek is out tonight
Lundqvist will need to stop all three shots for Rangers to even have a chance in the shootout. This team is too offensively challenged.
cant youtube on firefox latona… i’ll try to grab it later when i bring up safari.. thanks!
having fun, so far? Doubt it.
jpg’s sister believes that Staal
should have gone down for a conditioning stint.
FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
GGGGG!!!!!!!
According to Doc, at the beginning of the game, Rangers had only allowed 98 goals when the official tally was 100. I figured he was leaving out empty-net goals. Now, Doc says the total is 96. bangs head on desk
GABY!!!
Niiiiiiiiiiie Gabby
OUCH! That’s in!
Gabby!
OHHHHHH BABY!!!!
EFFIN HANK RULES HUMANITY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hankie!
OH MY GAWD, HANK
What a save!
This guy is behind…!!!!
what a fuggin save!!!!!!!!
Easily the save of the year
Hank
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Allstar!!
WOWOWOW!!!!!
Lundqvist SAYS NO!
so close mitch
sonsabitches lol
Mitchell? Why?
C’mon! Someone step up here!!!
HARD_QVIST!
who the byfuglien didn’t see that coming?
Bah
MR EDCHARDS earn a buck
It’s over.
will someone please get Richards laid?
i am starting to be mad at the Pope
week bastage!
Richards sucks in the shootout. Torts needs to realize this, and save him for the later rounds.
HORSE-CHOMPERS.
Just shoot the damn puck!
Hagelin?
Wow where did Richards go?
jpg he needs to fix the teeth….. they are ‘just friends’ bad
Step-On with the saaaame move every time.
or have Dolan pay Olivia Munn to return to Richards
so he can get his game back.
i agree Manny.. SweLi needs a chance
Hank is just amazing
how in the hell can players go to a good goalies
glove side?
weeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
CAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAPPPPPPPPPTTTTTTTTTTTTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Captain Cally!
I am such a hater of this stupid shootout…its sooooooo lame
Callllllllllllyyyyy!!!
YEAHAHAHAH!!!!!
Cally!!!
CAPTAIN CALLAHAN.
HUGS FOR CALLY!!!!!!
Aye aye, Captain!
Blue collar goal by our blue collar captain. Love that guy.
Cally’s Nana
and
Sally
will be very happy now.
hope Nana’s heart is okay.
now that’s how a captain gets it done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
CALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!
This team CANT lose two straight games!!
What a stinky game, although I do rather enjoy listening to Kenny and Dave. I’m glad it wasn’t a complete waste for Sally lol
Isn’t everyone so glad we have Richards for the next 8 years?? Look at how good our PP is!
LOL! Great reaction by Cally…. “Give me some looooooooooooooveeee boys!”
That was the hardest two points to get all year so far.
glad we won
didn’t deserve the win.
this team is now looking
very Octoberish.
Hank deserved this win. And the Captain made sure he got it!
I don’t mind at all for Buffalo to have 1 point. Now, back to hospital to fix heartbeat.
Sally’s gotta be dancing outta the Arena right now.
No way our team should d have to cut it this close – we NEED to get the PP working desperately….
lund-qvist felt a little off…rofl….E-LEET!
Richards & Dubi need to sit a few games, bring up MZA & JAM
stupid BCATHGE.
Don’t worry about your heart. It will last as long as you live.
That save by LQ in the shootout was incredible…I yelled so loud I woke up my wife upstairs!
TABLESPOON OF VICTORY COOKIE CRUMBS!
Carp,
I’ve got a question…
the Rangers won 1-0 in the shoot out
but no goals are awarded to the players right?
So how does this go down in the books? Who scored the goal?
... and now no postgame. unless you consider Pierre sitting on the bench and Milbury and the hammerheads in the studio to be a postgame.
Wonder why Dubinsky went and got the puck? For Lundqvist for the shutout? for Callahan’s grandma?
It’s GOOD to be the King!
i might go outside and shovel some snow to release some stress…man what a game, seemed like an eternity.
nobody, Staal.
Hank’s made that save before. He stopped Langenbrunner in the shootout just like that, a few years back.
He also did it to Alfredsson on a breakaway.
Best Hank’s performance IMOthis season. Nothing short of amazing and miracle.
If Lundqvist does not win the Vezina, we need to commission our own trophy for him
Thats a foible in my book with a little nubbin on the side…
So the Rangers win the game 1-0 but no one scored the goal…how lame is this league? WTB?
Message from Sally….
She says “you’re welcome” everyone!! =)
N.Country
you mention MZ and JAM
but what worries me
is that with those two possibilities
plus Thomas, Bourque
we’re looking at a lot of small forwards
on this team.
here’s to hoping that one or more play
BIG!
Carp, there’s postgame on the radio :D Mister Maloney does a great job :D
Fozzy!
Jimmy Howard leads the league in wins, and is in the top five in most of the stat categories. He’s the only one posing a threat.
Double joy – Pissburg lost!
PP IS A DISGRACE PUT HAGLIN AND RUPP OUT THERE
and don’t forget ORR!!
he’s Canadian
vs
Hank who is not
(brought to you by still peeved that thornton got Hart over
Jagr!)
I think Howard is an American.
it’s hilarious ORR, i have a friend who has him in her fantasty league and she’s cursing the day he was born ever day! It’s really freakin funny…..
Hags works his assen off out there, really impressive strength on the puck
Jimmy Howard is American!! Grew up a Rangers and Mike Richter fan! USA!!
He was born in Syracuse, NY. Maybe his parents are Canadians??
Evening All,
For all the moaning and complaining about tonight’s performance – and last night’s too, I offer some perspective…
32-12-5
Twenty games over .500 and still 40% of the games to be played
Lundqvist is playing at a level we haven’t seen before
There are some things to be worked on, for sure
No team is without their flaws
Here’s the old baseball analogy – great pitching, timely hitting
Be grateful for the two points – get ready for the Orange Crud on Super Sunday
do they do interviews and Tortorella’s presser?
LMAO…Orange Crud!
Make it tripple – Craps lost 2:4
ORANGE CRUD!! dyin
The ‘Cuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuseeeeee
la la lalaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
grrrrr….okay
check that
howard is a non-European
whereas
Hank is a European
even if he feels he’s a New Yorker.
(brough to you by….blahblahblah)
Attention any Rangers organization and/or players that read this blog:
Please pass this along to the coaching staff. Thank you.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4YZJwRqH1uQ
Hey, Fozzy!
Expect more games like that especially against the teams that are still fighting for PO.
BTW, still thinking Torts was wrong with choosing goalies last 2 games? Hell-ooo! Where are you?
Carp
i believe they do a presser after the game
at buffalo
i was involved in one when cc was coach
asked him some question that i’m sure
angered him (could see it in his eyes
as well as “who’s that piece of carcillo that just asked that?”)
later i interviewed Adam Graves
and Glen Healy
and took part in one with
Messier
Carp, the radio post game is just a recap. You’d love it, they played the sound byte of both Rangers goals in the BCATHGE
They are analyzing stuff though. I don’t believe they will have the post game press stuff like Torts and interviews though :/
They are pre-viewing the Phlyers game right now…
holy freakin crap!!!!!!!!!!
I was one of the first to point out, last fall, that the
Bruins won a cup largely without help from the PP.
But I also pointed out that’s walkin’ a tightrope, so
no formula for success most seasons.
If the PP were the sole basis for hiring and firing, Torts
woulda been gone long ago (and to be fair, so would
a half-dozen of his predecessors long before they finally
were)). I’m beginnin’ to wonder if even Bob Johnson
coulda fixed it…
Seems like the staff is working the same kind
of unimaginative magic on the occasional shootouts.
Brad Richards is here, at least in part, because of Torts.
Right now, that goes on the same side of the ledger as
the PP and shootouts. Cross your fingers that changes,
‘cause that is some Holy Albatross of a contract, another
in a long line of Sather Savior Specials.
ive never seen fans complain about a team with the BEST RECORD IN THE SPORT!!!
Dear Rangers, for the love of all that is good, please study this film:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WKpypzWHIUM
Just finished up the game. Right team got the two points, Richards is still pissing me off more by the minute played. Atleast he didn’t get tossed from a faceoff per period like yesterday.
I still would have rather seen Hank in NJ last night. It may not have worked out as well, with us getting 3 points in the 2 nights, but I always want Hank in nets against NJ – to win for us, and to deprive them of needed points. I really want to see them miss the playoffs and lose Parise in the summer.
I don’t see wins and ask “why?”
I see opportunity to improve and ask “Why Not?”
You said it, Jimbo!
Priscilla, Bruins scored a lot more even-strength goals last season than we are this season, I believe. So, their PP weakness was less of a factor to their overall game success, if I recall correctly.
I hate that BCATHGE. at least they won. Won’t be here for the chat, some of us have to be responsible! Carp, Sunday, section 112, me and the boy.
yes, Latona – for me, there’s no quarter – I want to see them go bankrupt in NJ and move to Kansas City or Oklahoma…
Right handed, hard shot from the point by someone who isn’t afraid to launch it. More movement without the puck. Imagine if the PP gets hot in the playoffs?
Seriously, Carp, pull some strings and send this along to the masterminds behind the bench:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=23jrtng7lDU
They’ll really have to stink from now on for them not to get 100 points. .500 even gets them 102. Playing with mainly 5 D-men should worry them more than PP at the moment. Staal is far from his best and tge best one we have at tge moment is Eminger. Sather maybe looking for a defenseman along with some additional scoring. Not sure who is available.
When Girardi got crunched in the OT, I feared a serious, shoulder/head injury – but he got back out there. Tough fella!
Ilb, whoever the guy was during the 2nd intermission radio interview from the Chicago organization (a scout maybe?) was audibly salivating over McDonaugh especially. You’re right, the team better protect their D…
Not sure it was called right, Jimbo. That boarding looked questionable, imo
Me too, Jimbo. I didn’t think it was a bad hit as such. I just saw #5 crumple.
audibly salivating… thanks for that billy!
Carp, any idea how far Eminger is from returning? And nothing good on Sauer at all, I suppose?
either way, Girardi is one freakin hardcore tough SOB!
McD isn’t being traded. He is going to be number 1 on the team within a couple of years, I think.
lol, Linda, it’s not easy to convey these things with typed words, lol… I’m just doing my best (worst?)!
i’m kinda gettin a feeling about artie and/or dubi changing addresses
billy, i loved it! captured the essence!
Ilb, from your mouth to the hockey god’s ears!
Thanks Linda! Wow, this place sure clears out! I’m surprised no Miami popping-in over-hyphenating and-all.
I swear, I spent about 10 minutes scouring youtube trying to find a Nintendo Ice Hockey video of a power play goal and came up dry… I think I made my point though. Please Rangers, study the film. It’s not that hard.
had a power failure at home with 7 minutes elft. did not see the delay of game by MDZ or the girardi getting boarded.
again Bickell zippo in 3rd period, they cannot do that for 30 more games.
dubi got demoted in the first period. he sometimes handles the puck like it is a grenade.
they need more offense….........
emrick the great makes tons of mistakes where he is just misinformed.
rangers only given up 96 goals so far this year, not true…100.. easily looked up.
callahan first shootout attempt this year. not true unless the devil game did not count.
lines and who has the puck he is wrong all the friggin time.
Well, Girardi was definitely hit from behind – whether he was intentionally boarded or not I’m not sure, but it was a hit from behind, and he could not defend against it.
I think Bickel is in the doghouse, and not for no reason – I think a healthy Eminger or even Woywitka would be an improvement at this point. Too bad Sauer is not anywhere near coming back..
borderline penalty, IMO.
We need to fix the PP or get someone who can by the trade deadline. Just because Boston won without a good PP doesn’t mean we have to go into the playoffs with one skate off. FIX IT! We could be even better!
Really, Carp? I thought he really got rocked….
I’m missing Whiskey Sweet and Saure very much!! When he hit the back of his head, i was afraid this was going to be a long absence, but was hoping it wouldn’t be this long ! I truly hope he gets better soon!!
Bickel still leads Ranger Dmen in assists after the AS break and he is tied in points!
In a pickle, call Stu Bickel.
You’re right, Lin – we miss him. All this fuss by other teams about players who concuss their teammates having to “pay the price” the next time the teams meet – well, we met the Leafs another time after that Sauer game, I believe – and nobody looked to engage Sloppy Seconds…
You got that “nub” in there, eh, Lin!? ;-p
Agreed, not having Sauer and overplaying those 5 D are gonna hurt them in the long run. I wouldn’t mind seeing Woywhatever get in over Bickel. Then again, they might stay the course for the Flyers game and hopefully Eminger is ready to come back next week.
I love Dubi dearly, but for the love of god, someone get him a shrink. As well he can play defensively, he’s starting to remind me of Mike Pelfrey and that scares me to death.
stuart a – I was guessing that he may not be including empty-net goals or shootout losses? And he said 98 at the beginning of the game. Lundqvist and Biron have combined for 92 GA, Lundqvist has 4 EGA, and I guess the Rangers have lost four shootouts for the other four goals.
LMAO someone FINALLY noticed, after about 3 hours lol! +2 Jimbo it’s all in the nub
Hey guys, a little off topic, but…
I dunno if youse have been keeping-up with the Apple Co. issues with the Chinese factories/workers, but, this is pretty funny… in a dark kind of way: http://teamcoco.com/video/apple-iNett
:-) SPIDER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh, how well I know, Lin – how well I know! Took a long time to learn, but now I know!
lmao Jimbo!!
and on that note, Have a great Thursday everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
2 points NYR!!!!!!!!!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
;-P
Goodnight, Lin!! Enjoy!!!
>>hammerheads
By Shriekback.
the Girardi hit was borderline IMO but the refs made the right call.
It was borderline because if you watch it Girardi turns to his left, and is also hit from the left side. But the Buffalo player should have let up with his right hand which shoved Girardi on the numbers, hence the boarding call.
Many players would have planted themselves into the boards or NOT protected themselves at all. That’s when boarding goes wrong.
Henrik’s save on Boyes number one on ESPN’s Top 10 plays. Still don’t respect ESPN, but, THE KING!
LGR!
Lundqvist is playing like a MVP right now. just in the zone all his reactions even when the puck doesn’t get through to him and recovering in stance… it’s fun to watch, man. especially as a Rangers fan.
didn’t know about giving him all the rest with Biron starting but it’s working and he’s going to need that energy in the playoffs. Biron only sees icetime in a blowout or if Mr. Softqvist shows up (Haven’t heard that one in a while have you?!)
i knew Cally wouldn’t be denied in the shootout. He was so pissed I just knew he was going to focus and rip it past Miller
Woohoo, that is most excellent new for Hank, Latona!
“Henrik’s save on Boyes number one on ESPN’s Top 10 plays.”
That save was a thing of beauty.
Too many basketball “facials”? OMG THAT GUY DUNKED OVER THAT GUY’S HEAD (WHO WAS JUST STANDING BENEATH THE BASKET) #1 PLAY!
Ratings’d
I’ve been here! lol
Latona – Linda Cohn must have been in charge. Homer.
Bah, I hate how indecisive I am. Just do it already, you dope, it’s only an email!
Never fear, Miami is here!
What a bunch of amateur-hour tonight. These over-hyped clowns couldn’t score if their life … I mean, game, depended on it.
Another two-bit lucky points.
Way to go, Miami!!
new post.
I don’t think I will ever comprehend the relentless animosity that some Bonesters have for Eric Christensen.
I’ve seen where he doesn’t check, he doesn’t skate hard, he doesn’t this or that, he is afraid to make hits, etc.
Yet in my observations of him I have seen him deal out some terrific body hits – when some one was near him-, and I have seen him do remarkable things with the puck when he has the opportunity. He has amazing hands and he has contributed more to this team’s offense from time to time ( within his limited ice time,) and granted…he is not a very good or fast skater, but he doesn’t deserve the complete scathing that he gets. He wold always come in handy during the shoot outs, but you cannot play a guy simply for a one specific situation. But he has helped remarkably
in the past. The same was done to Gilroy when he was forced to pinch hit for Staal and play a defensive position that he was unaccustomed to…and he also was used sporadically. I guess that he was supposed to make folks forget about Staal…but he was all too often stuck there as an afterthought. Now he is one of the top D men on the Lightning, and plays a regular RIGHT defense position and with freedom to roam.
I’d hate to see EC dumped on another team and one day comeback and chill the Rangers in a key situation.
