Game 51.
The ticket contest is now closed. No more entries. Thanks for playing and good luck.
Rangers play the Devils for the second time in eight days—so I offer this warning to Henrik Lundqvist, who didn’t start in the previous meeting: Watch out for the bounces off the glass partitions!
Lundqvist vs. Martin Brodeur (I presume). Rangers will use the same lineup, which means Stu (Battlin’) Bickel remains in the lineup and Steve Eminger is prucha’d.
Ya boys are NHL-unbeaten in four (3-0-1, with the 1 coming in the Breakaway Contest After The Hockey Game Ends—or BCATHGE—at Newark after the gift goal by Clarkson) and 16-4-1 in their last 21.
The Rangers have 99 all-time wins over the Devils (a Mickey Mouse number).
Also, remember, if there’s a fight tonight, it is now perfectly legal to pull hair or gouge out somebody’s stitches, to go along with other new rules we’ve learned this season such as, it’s OK to come off the bench during an altercation and join that altercation, and it’s acceptable to attempt to maim somebody from behind. Just don’t celebrate a goal too much. That’s a misconduct.

ITS GO TIME!!! GO RANJIZ!!!!!
LGR!!!!
Hagelin is on the 4th line? I guess Torts really wants him to jump-start everyone….What’s next, third D-pair?
LMAO at your new NHL rules, Carp…
How many ticket contest entrants are actually gonna be here?
Ha! Maybe Carp should make that a new rule too, CTB…
it’s like an episode of Bill Maher….New Rules!!!
LGR!!!!!!!
Evening gang!
New rules again? GEEEZ
Everytime I see this: BCATHGE. All I can think of of Bathgate.

So, has anyone heard the new Van Halen yet?
anyone have a stream for this?
LMAO @ the goal is to beat the Devils tonight!
JBytes:
Have it but haven’t yet listened. For what it’s worth, Eddie Trunk just tweeted that he likes it a lot.
I guess that’s basically worthless
Dam! missed the deadline. Oh well LGR!

Hey, where are you watching?
kovalchuckles
kovalchucken
kovalkraken
Checking in – LGR!
Kovalschmuck…..
Ugh, gotta go put the laundry in the dryer….Hope I am back for puck drop!
Prust, Rupp, Boulton and Janssen in the starting line-ups. What could possibly happen?
Oh, and Bickel…
Aaaah. Okay I get it now.
Ugh still at work for another hour. LGR!
Let’s GO RANGERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
gonna have to find the game online again…damn you MSG and TWC….get a deal done already!
So is the ticket contest still open?
Carp – Right on the money but be careful or Shanahan might fine and suspend you for those comments deemed to be “detrimental to the integrity of the NHL.”
Had a bad day today and am hoping our Rangers can brighten it a bit. Let’s Go Rangers!!
i predict…fisticuffs!
I HATE THE DEBBIES!
LET’S GO RANGERS!!
Double duty?
Ok….
WOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is SILLY!
Does anyone have a link for the game tonight? Thanks in advance.
i did too WInston.. looks like Rupp and Prust are getting our frustrations out
but this IS a bit overdone
whata a start!
WTF?? LOOL! I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything like this before!
The most stupid fights are the ones we just watched.
Shouldn’t one player from each team be tossed for starting a secondary altercation?
Stu Bickel must feel lonely at the moment…
I agree Staal, that was over the top.
JB, they pretty much started at the same time lol!!
Good of Janssen to keep throwing when Rupp was clearly hurt.
Ahh what’s happening? Fight? I can’t see! I can’t see!
Did I miss anything??
sludgepucker janssen
No Barry, go back to sleep …lol
Let’s Go Rangers!
Let’s Go Black Hawks!
FI-RE SA-THER!
BRich’s pass is harder than his shot
Wake me when Dubinsky finishes his hat trick
hopefully pac-man does something tonight
considering all the cheap shots Rupp throws, a few coming is way are pretty well deserved
That top NJ line is running a lot of interference.
Lloyd are you a Flyer fan?
Lloyd, you do know this is a Rangers blog, right?
LGR
Just got back, what did I miss?
dueling bangers at 2 seconds mickey
JBytes:
you mean a homer blog, right
nice of sam to credit a Ranger with a good play
Someone needs to go for Selfish-chuk’s knees…
MSG sounds dead
Lloyd I think your the homer…Prust sayin
I was stuck on line buying B&j’s. Who fought in the opening seconds??
dude looks like a skinny Randy Quaid lol
Does anyone have a link dying here! please please please
>>>dueling bangers at 2 seconds
Any mash!? Beans?
I keep waiting for the devils coach to yell, “Merry Christmas, shitter was full” like cousin Eddie from Christmas vacation
no surprise there…good one Bickel
Dammit, Bickel…....
Awww, man. I missed fights. Dang.
Thanks Lin
unfortunately no mash with those bangers lol
Black Hawks 4, Colorado 2 GWG: Kane. Hawks shots: 28. Avalanche shots: 24.
ORR!!!
are you at the game?
ooooh winston with a no no!
Stand by my liability comments.
>>you mean a homer blog, right
That’s right! We cheer our guys on.
Bickel needs both hands gluing to his stick.
OH Stu :(
Let’s Go Rangers!!!
No, jpg!
What the fugg’s with Bickell and all these minors?? Get it together!
parros
http://www.stream2watch.me/
JBytes:
So does Chico Resh. Congratulations.
Fuggin Bickell
Bah. Damn Devils.
And that’s how PP works…
Rangers have not shown up yet.
Take a seat, Stu
Someone get the Rangers a TO and some espresso, stat!
Perhaps Tortorella should call a timeout?
Lundqvist has to stop that one-timer from the slot especially when it’s from someone like Clarkson.
Rangers fast asleep here
is there still time to change my guess
for the ticket contest?
maybe getting knocked on his
aassen will wake MDZ
and the other Rangers up!!!!!
so far this game is as crappy as my day was
LETS FREAKIN GO RANGERS!!!!!!!! wake the hell up
Bickel makes Ryan Hollweg look like Petr Nedved – you know, the Swedish Gretzky.
they continue to let this slimebag score on them.. pitiful
lmao, Czech?
They’re not generating any offence; they’re not being physical; they’re not playing “The Right Way”.
it’s why they call it a team game
because the WHOLE TEAM
is playing like carcillo mixed with cooke/clarke
so far
and did carcillo
on that pk.
your team gets a penalty
you kill it.
simple.
Are you channeling Lloyd, LW? I think people had enough of him already tonight
Maybe Brodeur will keep getting distracted by the all the announcements of “Stew, pickle. Two minutes.”
crap a pp
Micheletti just said the Rangers have seldom had a bad start this season. Is this his first game of the year?
ilb: please find a life somewhere
lmfao LW!! nice!!
I think Dubi caught a rut.
A PP? MEEP
Power Play. Smoke ‘em if you got ‘em…
Would like to see Teetchards do something here…like score a fuggin’ goal!
wow you boys need to simmer your onions tonight! it’s bad enough the guys are not going so good right now.. don’t need the freakin infighting
Pac-Man Edchards NYR! hehehe
err, I mean, Mr. Edchards….
OMG!!! A SHOT ON NET A SHOT ON NET!!!!!
wooooooooooo a shot!!!!!!!!!
LOL Lin!
we shall do the ppsog dance
Not enough nubbing so far.
Miserable PP so far…
i think LW needs his own special on comedy central
is the ice that horrible
or
are we just that horrible?
talk about playing as if
you don’t give a crap
whether or not you win.
LOL @ Mr. Edchards!
Miserable PP so far this season
Fixed.
when in the hell are they going to stop
with the dump in plays
since they never bother to
catch up to the puck?
Whats up fellas? Heia Ilb! {{{LINZO}}}
this season! THIS SEASON!! how about the last 5
This game is putting me to sleep
TIKZO!!!!!!!!
>>>Someone needs to go for Selfish-chuk’s knees…
I’ve been thinking that same thing for weeks now, C3…..but I was reluctant to post it…
Me too
LOL….oh yea…The Renney years are fuzzy….haha!
time to start measuring power play success according to whether the Rangers get one shot on goal
Tiki!
Online ability to watch the game ended by the US government. Site shut down. Are there any links for the game for those who are victims of the tWC/MSG pissing match?
thanks
Tiki! Yo!
Hey all,
Thought it was about time I checked in, it’s been awhile. Yep the boys better step it up a notch, the good hustle is not there yet tonight.
i think the Rangers should get credited with a penalty kill each time they don’t score on the power play
Yev:
try that same site but use .eu instead
I have a hunch it’ll work
Another game link: http://tinyurl.com/6tpcv5x
another penalty kill coming up
I still feel like Im dreaming!!!! LGR!!!
Ruutu would never make a pass like that
PacMan Edchards … he may get a goal tonight.. new flavored hay in stores now
For the love of God, someone take the power play out back and shoot it.
Going home, finally.
WORK IT OUT, RANGERS.
Oh the good ol’ Gov…
even Cally is dogging so far tonight
lmao Mickey, as we’re talking about Richards and you said that, all i could think of was ‘they shoot horses don’t they’
A wonder what Perry Pearn is doing right now….
most boring period of the season?
SHOOOOOOOOOOOT STEPAN!!!!!!!!!!!!
WTB??!?!?
1 shot on goal = power play is back, baby!
I don’t think Joe would like Parise this much if he was actually a Ranger.
Rangers Power Play- Where an opposing player gets a two minute rest.
LOL, Lin
now now Lloyd, Edchards got one too lol
When I play hockey, and we get a PP…if I looks as bad as the Rangers does we call it fixed!
i think joe is the antichrist of announcers
They woke up.
just so people know, the second stream on the firstrow link actually has a virus
two minute warning
Stupid, stupid play DZ
Del Slew-footto?
The Rangers’ PP would be better if they were allowed to rest for 2 minutes and the opposing team had to skate around without the puck for 2 minutes.
Oy! Sykora almost got us again….
Thank god that carcilloshow is over.
Ugly, ugly period.
So lucky to be 1-0!
The Rangers’ PP would be better if …
We had goal scorers….LOL
i wonder if Torts is gonna bring in Manjaw to yell at the team
NYR, do you want us to add to that?
They need somebody to rip ‘em a new one after that period, that’s for sure…..
Thx Olga
How about those Giants!!!!
wow, the devils are skating circles around the rangers. It appears the rangers can’t keep up with the Devils in the 1st period. If the rangers don’t pick up there game it will be a long night.
Al needs to bring in Richards for a interview to get him scoring.
Creativity and skill is lacking…
BRich doesn’t cut it…
Dubi is counting on superstitions for his goals now?
{{{{{{{{{{OLGA}}}}}}}}}} sorry for being late Olga!
Once February ends, Richards should play better. All this Valentines BS is probably reminding him of Munn, and fugging with his head. Have to be patient.
There must be something about Dubinsky in the locker room that explains why he is still getting ice time and why he has not been traded.
{{{{{{{{{{{{LINDA}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}
FIRE SATHER BABY!
SPider, they cannot trade his suaveness before Casino night
Yeah Olga Baby!! Giants among men!!
I’m starting to think that concussion (that Brad got last year) did something to him…he’s been a fraction of the player he was before that….
Just very, very weak and predictable with the puck….ugh…
Bring back the Hobbit!
guys,thanks so much for the links! I am able to watch again!
Look at Brian Boyle LOL.
Wake the bleep up, boys – the debbies look like they want this game a lot more than you do at this point…..
This would be the point in the movie where they give Richards a blanket over his head and all beat him with a puck in a sock.
Spider, it’s called—watch Sunday’s game and see what should be expected of him every night … and understanding that this team with that Dubinsky is better. But it’s up to him to bring it every night, and he sure hasn’t.
OK, the parade is over now. Enough with the Superbowl talk already.
Spider:
Yes, it’s called the coach being madly in love with him
I completely disagree with the idea that that first period had anything to do with effort. They played lousy. but it wasn’t effort.
You’re welcome, Lev…
what’s a super bowl? is that the thing on top of the Stanley Cup?
THANK YOU CARP!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!!!
+1, JBytes….
there was effort in the last few minutes of the period. before that, they didn’t do a damn thing.
they didn’t do a damn thing, but if you think it was because they didn’t care or weren’t trying hard enough, then you haven’t been watching the last 132 games.
Yeah, it’s NOT an effort problem at all…
They actually played better before DZ took a penalty…and the second PK was strong.. Woke up right after they started to hit everyone. This one is far from over.
the correct answer: Mike Emrick
Oh no, Chico in the booth with Sam & Joe. Time to mute
MMhmm. Every team in every game has bad games, innings, whatnot. It happens.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! GET CHICO OFF MY SCREEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh gosh, why am I seeing this Chico Resch guy on an MSG broadcast?
Oh, No!! Chico on the Ranger broadcast! GAH!!!!
I watched the last 132 seconds only. And it’s my first game tonight.
Take Michelleti with you, Chico…
In 3D I hope, LW?
Every team occasionally takes a period or a night off in terms of effort. You cant bring your A effort game every night. But the first period was not a lack of effort.
Not starting out too well this period, either….
no Joe
Prust has been the only Ranger
to actually SHOW UP
tonight
yes Joe
and how many times
have Rangers played
the devs and they still
haven’t figured out
how to play ‘em
as far as dumps
in the zone?
ugh!!
That was then, this is now, Joe…...
I wonder if Joe Mich is aware that most NYR fans can’t stand him
LW, I never watch.
Who told the Devils they could play well? Me no like!
Orr why the hell would he care? He’s getting paid handsomely for our hatred lol
Shut them down boys don’t let them get any momentum.
is this the Rangers
sadomasochism game
where they enjoy all the
punishment
given to them by the devs
and barely dishing
anything out?
skipped going to soak in
a jacuzzi for this
and
now
i have some sort of
upset stomach happening
too
this carcillo play
ain’t helping matters
look at this stellar effort from the Rangers!
Terrible start
Wow the Devils are on a mission…so far outplaying us completely
Sad…
That’s true, Lin!
horrible continuation of the first
I blame this all on the Giants
ani dumped right in front of the ref….......really?????????????
how pathetic is it that msg cameras
can’t even show the corner of the rink?
Probably the worst shift since the Eminger-Woywitka 12 minute epic against the Sharks there.
Dammit, Prust…
Pruster what was that???????????????????
Hit the net! Make Fatso do something…
why does it matter if Prust missed the net he’s not supposed to do anything but pin the puck to the boards
clusterbyfuglien of a game.
Argh…...
Painful…
Cally handing Strolman his stick messed him up.
Carp
just read your comment
they played and they showed lack of effort
NO hitting
NO skating
NO work ethic in offensive zone
You said it so far, Mickey…...
very few times this year I have felt the rangers have gotten out worked. this is one of those times.. come on.. get it together!!
why did Stralman get a penalty?
nah but the effort has been top notch all game long
Exactly what I thought but I missed part of the first.
I think my favourite part of the experience of being a Rangers fan is hating everything they do and most of the team.
Lloyd, do you have something to say?
I hate the Devils so much! Watching then dominate us for a period and a half now if like two knifes in both of my eyes!
Carp
ask ‘em how in the hell they are
completely unable to pass to
one another?
seriously!!
just overly pathetic!
Devils are one goal away from ending this game
this bad ice plays right into the hands of the Devils’ style of play.
way to go Hank.
pass past your guy
and to the devil
were you thinking of guitar chord
and forgot what you’re doing now?
Shut up, Lloyd. Seriously, shut the hell up.
Maybe Lloyd should be pinned to the boards…PRUST sayin’
wow, you guys are like cranky babies tonight.
Lloyd the Rangers are one goal away from tying it
Carp
both teams are playing on bad ice
yet devs are making passes
that go to teammates
and are making it to the
puck before the Rangers
ice has got nuthin’ to do with that.
We are collectively having our period
why is Lloyd’s hijinx firing everyone up? lol caaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrazy night
Carp, tonight? Just tonight????
Lol at you guys….
I don’t like it when Sam makes that orgasmic sound when he agrees with Joe Mich.
Nah, you guys wouldn’t have been able to survive the cramps, Staal.
I am not using the ice as an excuse, jpg. I’m stating that it’s awful = advantage a team that counts on turnovers, especially playing with the lead. I guess I’m not allowed to disagree with you guys tonight.
Staal:
Absolutely, but given what I’m seeing here, I don’t see them coming back if they go down 2-0
Debbies playing Rangers game – tireless forecheck,grinding, low scoring, more offence threats though…Hate their cooke guts!
because we’re sick of his predictable crap.
Bad ice, super bowl party hangovers, lack of scoring, dead and decrepit power play…
OH THE JOYS of loving this team! Gotta take the bad with the good. and stop sniping at Carpy
Carpy, was that the answer to my hijinx question? lol i had a bad day at work , i’m a bit behind tonight
LOL Carp, you seem irritated too.
AMEN LINDA
McDonagh proving tonight why he’s going to be the Rangers best defenseman for years to come.
UGH, HIT THE NET!
C’mon, Del Z!
Argh again…....missing the net all night….
This Josef Jacobson guy is not as good as Jacob Josefson was.
MDZ missed the net by a mile…gotta get that on net…
totally toothless in offence!
Linda:
I basically never say anything inflammatory but because I make the mistake of not posting OMG TORTORELLAZ4JACKADAMSLET’SGORANGER OMG every single post, I get to deal with Carp ringleading a bunch of these guys taking shots at me
Their brains look slow tonight.
lmao too bad clarkson didnt get trached there
Staal, it has something to do with the attendance …
also might be because I just got back from a wake. And because I can’t stand when people speculate as fact, especially those who repeatedly prove they don’t know what they’re watching.
Games are getting tougher…B-Rich is yet to show up…Stepan too…
OK, Lloyd. Keep telling yourself that. Are you Tiki?
I like Tortles!
Dru 2.0.
Ouch! That’s an insult, Carp!
Lloyd, i miss everything that goes on during the day. I guess i just don’t get it. you make me laugh. we all bitch about them from time to time, i thought it was ok. Maybe you need boobs to get away with it like the women folk do lol ;-)
Understandable…sorry for your loss Carp :(
I’m objective about the Rangers and that’s not allowed here. Sorry to disappoint, Carp.
That was a compliment, Carp….
OK BOYS COOL OFF THE ONIONS!! you’re supposed to be making me laugh after my bad day… our team certainly is making me cry !!!
wrong again, Lloyd.
you actually have to substantiate the things you say. just saying “no” and then waiting for your lemmings to pile on doesn’t prove much of anything.
Hey, Latona – I was up in your neck of the woods on Saturday – in Allendale!
Carpy, sorry for your loss! It’s always rough to have to deal with such a sad personal issue and then come here on a night the team is not firing right and all of us are in pissy moods!
ANd in case you haven’t checked your email in the past half hour.. I THANK YOU AGAIN!!! i loved that pic
OMGBOYLESUXAVES4HART on a loop ain’t much better.
Shyte! Looked like Hags could have made a move or two before shooting.
LMAO!
I like Tortles too!!
Richie 1.0
wrong once again.
doesn’t look like they are playing THAT bad. But they seem to miss the net a lot. also, both teams have to play on the same sheet of ice/slush, whatever you want to call it. no excuse there. Carp, did I miss something? Who died? Email me.
Well, let’s hope that they come out strong in the 3rd…..
Future Ranger Zacha Parisa
you guys are making me sad.. i might just call it a night :-{
Al with Parise?? Does this mean he’s gonna score?
what’s the record for most incorrect comments?
consecutively, I mean.
I thought so too on first glance, ORR, but he had his skates wrapped up by a diving Devil. Right play.
Jimbo,
What for? One of my favorite Italian restaurants is there…
great play by hags at the end there. good save by fatso
Hopefully Al will be annoying Parise with these interviews more often, next season.
can we please dump the puck into the corners and away from marty
Why take shots at me? You’ll never grow up Carp. Oh well, Im in heaven right now, and nobody’s gonna take away my unbridled joy!
Didn’t see that, Latona. You’re right. Right play!
There’s about 350 incorrect predictions in a row on the last thread, Carp.
Sorry you’ve had a bad day, Carp – mine wasn’t great either. I was hoping for a Ranger win tonight.
wife been using computer.
carp
thoughts on pp like the movement tonite?
this team is back to playing October 2011
hockey
forgot how to do all the things
that a successful nhl team does
oh, like
shoot the puck before you’re too close
to your opponent.
head to the net in order to get a rebound
shoot the puck on net rather than wide and wider…
sigh!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You know why I take shots at you. that’s never going to change. you came on here like a total ass-hat the other night, taking shots at people you know are my friends, calling other people criminals when you defend the worst perverts and felons we’ve ever seen.
Now I’m giving myself a timeout.
LOL @ grow up.
>>>What for? One of my favorite Italian restaurants is there…
I was there for a surprise birthday party for a friend and business associate – it was at Mezza Luna Ristorante…..
What a trip it was getting there – whew!
Richards is an anti-Dentite. The evidence is clear…
Heaven…I’m in heaven…
Sigh…
I was so deliriously happy 2 nights ago, I just wanted to share my joy with people I love and care about i.e. Linda, Laurel, ilb, etc. I’ll shoot u an email later, maybe we can work things out, Id like to get along with you, that’s something that’s very important to Laurel, and I value my relationship with Laurel. Ok?
Hey, C3 – did you get that file I sent to you the other day?
Go find a Giants blog and ruin that.
What about the trip troubled you, Jimbo?
And I’ve never been to that one.. how was it?
>>Shut up, Lloyd. Seriously, shut the hell up.
Time to hit our Ignore button. See the name, skip the post.
GO CELTICS! BOB COUSY = LEGEND.
On a positive note: Richards is bound to come out flying, seeing as how rested he must be from not playing the first two periods.
I did Jimbo…just hadn’t had a chance to res it yet…but I will! I promise! Thank you :)
GO CELTICS! KC JONES = LEGEND
AHA, AHA! BIRD!
JBytes- I’ve doing that for months….Never felt better.
There sure is a lot of crying going on tonight! I’m going to have to take the tissues out of my bra to dry my tears!
Devils are just playing better than us tonight so far. We seem out of synch. Of course, if our power play could do anything at all the game could be tied.
We’re still only 1 goal behind, can’t give up hope yet!
Oh, my Celtics are on right now. They’re winning! Five in a row!
Chris F… he’s pacing himself!
ilb2001, lohudblogs.com winner of most passive aggressive contributor for three years running
Sorry for your loss, Carp. And for those of us being asshats tonight. :(
The amount of time it took to get there, Latona – I was using public transportation, and it was a draaaaaaaag!
The place seems nice – the food was good, but it was a pre-arranged party deal, so we didn’t get to pick from their complete menu.
read*
Man this iPhone is driving me crazy!
All I can do is make the effort. The rest is up to you. Ruin? The people Ive met, and some I havent met, from this blog have become like family to me and Ive become like family to them, (I hope that didnt sound arrogant)
EXACTLY MESS! as disjointed as they’ve look so far, they are only down by ONE!!!! ONE!!!!
LETS GO RANGERS
Lol who heard Al just say “the only thing the rangers are getting are Sh*ts…”
OK, C3 – I hope you enjoy it!
Maybe again some miracle in the last seconds tonight, hah?
I read your mind, C3 – no worries!
JBytes, I know, I know, I know. Just had to say it once. And now that policy is in effect. ‘Sides, nothing can kill my mood today, not even a Rangers loss to the Devils.
I’m cranky tonight as well don’t know why, weird everyone on the same page. Guess we need a comeback
I like honey roasted peanuts.
Nothing in the next 5 months can kill my mood!
This team is special, we got this game!
Ok, boys, let’s get a goal, eh?
Need to stiffen up!
LET GO RANGERS!!!!!!!!!!!!! LETS GO RANGERS!!!!!!!!!!!!! RANGERS, LETS GO!!!!!!!!!!!!
Joe, stop with your clarkson sludge crush
As far as I’m concerned, you come here to do nothing but aggravate me after all the attempts I’ve made to be nice to you. Then you come back with all that fury, even celebrating the death of a fine, fine respected woman. To me, you ruin this blog with that crap. And not all of your “friends” always feel the way you think.
Stiffen up, nub it in!
so who has 2-0?
if Rangers don’t pick it up
there’ll probably be an empty netter
Crankiness and it’s not even a Monday.. weiird.
wow!!!!!
i obviously missed something
(whatever got Carp pee-owed)
Need some JAM here…
delayed by super bowl hangovers Mickey.. sigh
Carp +100
Brodeur should be fair game when he comes out to play the puck. He can absorb a hit; he’s fat enough.
please explain to me, why do they just dump the puck in? Why don’t they shoot it on net? At least a shot, maybe a rebound or at least a faceoff in the offensive zone
Mmmm, jam. That reminds me I should eat dinner since I haven;t had any yet.
Rangers next goal should be a good one…
Ryan Miller in pads is Brodeur without pads.
what a jackassen
let Boomer watch the game
you said your piece
now go!
You are prolly right, Lin. Hey- are we still thinking Nashvegas for March?
Gaborik is playing really well tonight. I like his chances of bagging one.
JB, i think they are afraid of opposing players getting stuck between the wads and rolls, having to delay the game to pull them out before the suffocate
Not sure why you’re putting “friends” in quotes. These people are more than just friends, they’re family.
Most of the time, none of the people Ive grown close to, like Laurel, Linda, ilb, feel the way I feel. They just know that I dont mean a lot of the stuff I say, and that most of the stuff I say is just meant to release anger.
Nothing worse than seeing Brodeur putting a doughnut on the board. Unless you are putting the doughnut up and are standing between Brodeur and the board.

only twice in 12 years the rangers have been in the top 10 in pp percentage. I just can’t understand why it has been so bad for so long. TRY SOMETHING NEW BOYS…..
i am hoping so Mickey.
i’ve also gotten to the point that moving back to the NY area may be a good thing. I’m sick and tired of being alone, so i’m trying to talk myself into sucking it up and putting on my big girl undies and dealing with the weather so i can be around my friends!
Wow there is an unbridled amount of bunched up panties tonight…WTB?
I don’t give a crap, Tiki.
“only twice in 12 years the rangers have been in the top 10 in pp percentage”
JAGRsurf, that’s a strong indictment of the crappiness of this power play through several regimes… and all those pp qbs slats has brought in…....blech
lmao Staalsie!
Yup, surf. Since The Great One left.
That’s a new Geico pig commercial!
and the sad part is, it doesn’t even have to be great or very good. Just mediocre would be enough.
Mickey, somebody left the gate open.
Is BRich ridding the pine?
Ok. Lin. And I hear ya, trust me, I hear ya on the moving back to NY thing. In fact.. check your fb messages in a few, I’ll send ya something about what I did today.
shoot low on him too fat to bend down
Good info, surf. I’ve been trying to find those numbers but got too aggravated while doing it!
The only 2 years that it hasn’t been garbage were the first 2 full years with Jagr.
ARGH! SHUT THE DAMN GATE BEHIND YOU!! DO YOU THINK WE LIVE IN A BARN?!
Hanky Panky!
you got it Mickey!!
thank God for Henrik Lundqvist
this is a 7th seeded team without him
I made the effort. I can go back to ignoring you now, and you can do the same. :)
YAAAAAAAY HANK!!!!!
and that fat slob at the other end should be getting winded by now.. that between periods buffet and the fact that the game is still going on is sapping his energy
Not only Gretzky, but Leetch too.
Man, I love our D, but I wish we could clone Leetchie in his prime and stick him back there. Imagine what the PP and the team would look like with him back there?
Don’t go away mad, Tiki. Just go away.
Brodeur’s been ok when he’s had to be…Rangers haven’t been able to sustain any pressure in this game
everytime Sam says Fayne.. i think of David Bowie lol
Lloyd, they’ve looked better this period though.. need a nice nifty deflection in front and SOON!
Here comes Ruutu!!!
(and probably for too much!)
Breaking news: Team would be worse without best player
I would pay good money to have one of the Rangers hop over the boards with a bag of McDonald’s in his hand and skate it right over to leave in front of Bad Marty.
I dont ever go away mad. I dont have the time anymore to visit here much, and no desire to read the bitterness you were probably born with. And since you asked so nicely, Ill be sure to try to be here more ofthen, just for you! :)
I hate when Torts starts shuffling lines in the middle of a period.
Pass the hat, Mickey.
It’s amazing that with 9:00 left in the 3rd period that we’re still dumping the puck in hard around. And Fatso continues to help clear it.
no, you won’t.
6 piece nubbits
They just showed there is no giving up this season….McD made a few suttle plays against Parise tonight that should make him untouchable regardless who’s coming back …..
LW3H:
Yes going from 1st in the conference to barely making the playoffs is a minor dip
tell us about your tv
Chaotic efforts, desperate, near intellectual collapse by Torts.
What was Cally thinking? If Brodiva fell on top of him, it would be the end of his career. Risky move.
hi everyone, what’d I miss?
>>That’s a new Geico pig commercial!
It’s Maxwell’s third.
lmfao nubbits!!
Brodeur needs to guard against cuts on his ankle. All the gravy will run out…
billy, it’s the effin Mayan apocalypse in here tonight
Let’s get this game tied up!
HUGE PP. THEY NEED THIS.
Good work by Hags.
Great! Another PP!
Hagelin’s speed burns!
lmfao Olga! I hope Cally doesnt get high cholesterol by osmosis after that roll on thunderfoot
here come two pointless minutes
This is when a PP is KEY! in a game like this you need special teams to score!
you just do NOT interfere with SweLi
Not much, billy. A lot of crankiness, including by me. people who hate their team and can’t wait for them to lose one game so they can say how much they stink. and one ass-hat who idolizes perverts and felons as long as they play for his favorite team
Score here, or say goodbye to the two points.
I have a gift card, Carp. And I would gladly pay for it all myself :)
Richards on the point? Why?
LW, did you get a new tv since Sunday? congrats man!
Richards should be boo’ed off the ice…
Good PP, but it fails once again! Ugh!
That shouldve been a goal. Great cross ice pass and great shot.
Stepan needs to shoot more.
uidfayudbfyhdg dubi you had 2 GIMMES
Who used the words “minor dip”?
I’m glad we’ve finally identified a player that actually contributes to the team though.
PP looked ok, but can’t buy a goal
Dubinsky just needs this season to end for him.
I wonder sometimes why Dubinsky holds a stick. Is it because someone told him to?
What is Stepon doing there?? He has done that before just pushes the puck at the net???
running out of time fella’s
Foxwoods Final Five Minute Warning
Baby steps…..
I hate teams with perverts and felons…so that eliminates NFL and NBA…wonder how people can support that bull cooke
Dublowsky will be able to make up for his horrific season by showing up for the playoffs. Hopefully this time,, it will be for more than two games.
Unfortunately, you don’t get goals for power plays that only “look good”....we need results…
I told the wife if the Rangers scored on that power play I was going to smack her ass with a yard stick. She got lucky. I might do it anyway.
Hmmm, perverted felons? Smells like the NFL…
Awww geez, it’s no fun when everyone’s cranky around here…
What is the DEAL with this POWERPLAY? I guess nobody has been studying the films… Pay close attention @ about 15 seconds… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jYUVc4TvjcY
I’m in such a good mood right now, maybe I can help cheer things up around here…
goddamnit Joe go massage fatty’s fuggin ankle. sick and tired of you already. yes, pissed.
Now, now Staal….the NHL and MLB certainly have their fair share….but not nearly as many violent criminals…
Someone wave a donut if Fatty’s face!
Why are the NYR fans chanting “Marty”. He’s pitching a shutout, and made some damn good saves. NYR fans need to go to chant school.
i hope so billy. i hate when we cannibalize each other grrrrrrrr
just reviewed old posts.
Carp—sorry for your loss
do you think the full moon is the cause for the crankiness?
LOL Kaiser!
Marty’s right man boob is whats hurtin his ankle…
Where’s Avery?
first off Carp
sorry about your loss
i’m not paying strict attention to board
tonight because i ate something today that
didn’t sit well and….well, you can guess the rest.
so
with that and the Rangers not making up for last
week’s loss
i’m super-cranky
which is why while i understand what you meant by bad ice
being advantage to the devils because of their play
and the team being in the lead
but
at the time i posted the devs were still making passes
that went to a teammate
and the Rangers were still putzing around as if
they were incapable of making a pass to a
teammate.
as LW mentioned early, there must be a slow gravy leak. his powers are waning.. we need to pepper (and salt) him with shots on net
Pull Hank and let’s tie this up!
We need Zherdev to score a last second goal.
Waivery would have helped us win this game ;) Sorry Blogmama!
Why doesn’t Richie go into the dirty areas and battle?
sure looked like it was tipped to me
Oh bah :(
its the curse of JudasFredoPeewee!!!!!!!!! BASTAGE
Goalie interference…..
ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Carp, “what’s a super bowl? is that the thing on top of the Stanley Cup?” hahahahaaa
Aren’t we all glad we now have a 2 week window with no football and before pitchers and catchers?
YEAH BABY. THANK THE HOCKEY GODS. THEY BETTER NOT TAKE THIS GOAL BACK.
Of course.
sonsabeeches
Looked like Gabby got pushed into Fatty! That’s Bull ship!
Terrible call
BS call
Ugh.
Such bullshyte
Wow….
Boston conspiracy.
That is possibly the worst officiating call I’ve seen.
absolute bs
probably called him because he put his elbow up
I dunno
Refs win again. Just can’t beat those guys…
Unfuggingbelievable!
Should be an interesting post game
absoeffinlute GARBAGE officiating! GARBAGE GARBAGE GARBAGE
My feed died. was the interference call legit?
:(
was that Ian Walsh that made that call?
Thats bullcarcillo. Terrible call, and the ref was looking right at it. Well, they cant take away our Super Bowl, even though God knows they tried to!
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
Don’t blame Torts for being PO’d. The postgamer should fun. Good luck, Carp!
Um…... He got the puck!
im so upset…....I BETTER NOT BLOG RIGHT NOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wel, that’s a fitting end for a miserable game….Fatso gets a shutout, Clarkson with the GWG..
“Boston conspiracy.”
Go Celts!!
Elbow?
Pathetic call. Four of these fuggers on the ice, and they don’t see the Devils shouldering him into that pudgy fuggin blob?? Unreal!
Start the collection for another Tortorella fine.
shocker.
How many powerplay chances did we get tonight? Just curious…
We gotta get back on track of stringing wins together…
On the radio, Mister Maloney is calling the goalie interference a ‘hockey play’ but he says he can’t disagree with the call as that’s how that call has been going, and they (the refs) are being consistent. Mister Maloney’s a reasonable guy, I’m gonna trust his judgment on this one although I haven’t seen it…
you just can’t make this carcillo up!
the more you see it, the more ridiculous that call was
regardless, Rangers didn’t do enough to win the game
That was some Foxwoods Final Five.
consistently BAD
Gabby was pushed by that guys huge butt
Torts emotion was priceless. Im growing to love this guy. He dont take carcillo from nobody.
correct call. Probably not a penalty, but definitely not a goal. No way Gaborik would’ve stopped on his own, was barely pushed.
First non-contest post in months, let’s see what y’all think :)
billy, he’s probably right, too. best-case scenario in one of those collisions is that they wave off the goal but don’t call a penalty.
wow, what a shock, another incompetent call by a nhl ref.
Al is fired up!
Torts from Boston?
Let’s Go Black Hawks!
Chi 0 Col 0 in the first.
leave up to the Rangers to make the opposition goalie look like Brodeur…oh wait…
Torts looked like Tommy Lee Jones in Batman Forever. Half his face was blood red.
Yev
no it wasn’t legit. Gabby was being pushed into marty
and Sam pointed out u can see snow from Gabby trying to stop
his progress.
bull-carcillo!!!
Don’t look now, but the ghetto slug debbies aren’t that many points behind us….that’s 2 wins they’ve got from us in just a few days…
Correct call? LOL!
where the hell is gabby suppose to go. guy riding him from behind
Sorry, that was the right call. It sucks, but it was. If the same thing happened to Hank we’d be insanely pissed if they didn’t wave off the goal.
Maybe this team should try and score on the powerplay once in awhile?
also, Joe Michelletti needs to shut the (carcillo? Subban? What name is the f-bomb on this site?) up. That homer stuff is what bugs me when I watch other teams’ announcers, Rangers are supposed to be above such nonsense.
the devils whole season turned around from the carom off the boards last tues night.
havent looked back since.
a real threat now along with pitt and phil for div title
Fought til the end. Same warrior like attitude the team has shown all season. And it aint gonna change.
did anybody have 1-0 Devils?
They looked like the team from last year in this game…bad start…falling behind early and trying to comeback in the third. Good or bad call they have nobody to blame for this one but themselves.
In all honesty, I don’t know if Gabby could have stopped from running into fatso even if he wasn’t shoved into the goalie, but we’ll never know, because he was definitely guided into fatso by Volchenkov..
Mark, if it happens to Hank its still a goal…if that was the case every defenseman would just ride the offensive player into the goalie…it is totally not the right call
I believe “Byfuglien” is the f-bomb, although there are plenty of other alternatives…
At the risk in inciting the ‘oh the sky is falling’ crowd and bringing out those who seem offended when anyone dares make a negative comment about the Rangers lately, gotta say this:
If this game isn’t an indication of what this team needs to find, I dunno what is. Despite Idioletti’s gushing, Brodeur’s wasn’t really tested (how many times was he forced to make a 2nd save, despite lots of rebounds?); the Devils kept the Rangers to the perimeter most of the net and that’s what PO hockey will be all about.
More upfront skill is needed. Not saying the wheels are about to come off – just saying I honestly don’t see a deep PO run with 1 premium winger and 1 semi-premium center.
If somebody had 1-0 Devils, can we have them banned? lol :D
As i said on FB, you cannot continue to wait until the waning seconds of a game to do something. They have 59 minutes and 55 seconds to take care of business, and for 40 of those minutes, they were not good!
yes Boston
according to
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Tortorella
As much as I hate losing to the Devils… the RANGERS are STILL in FIRST PLACE in the conference. And it’s only one loss, after a huge win over the Flyers. Everyone chill out and they’ll get ‘em on Thursday.
Either way, it shouldn’t have come down to that final play. We generated nothing for 2 periods, so you can’t expect to win like that.
I believe I won the contest
Voice, you almost got me.
stick salute to SCX
Jim you 1 semi premium center who’s playing like…wait has he been playing?
LOL!
And IMO, that was a lousy call, but usually called that way – officials cannot see it in slow motion.
Too bad the PP totally sucks….
They won’t get the Devils on Thursday, Mickey – we dropped 2 games to them in a week….
that’s a legit point, Jim.
but watch how many players are going to be called garbage, and how many need to be traded in the next 24 hours here.
Staal: I;m being nice because he was quite effective for the first 2 and 1/2 months…I have no idea what’s happened, but I maintain part of the problem is the lack of a top winger to play with.
That’s right, maybe they could get Richards and Dubinsky. that should help the offense.
True True Jim.
Carp: Understood….
TRADE GABBY!!!!!!!! set Edchards on FIRE! TAR AND FEATHER TORTS!!!!!!!!!!!!! take the c away from Cally and give it to faux gawd….... blah blah blad
If Aver…Bwahahaha!!!
Can we trade Brad Richards for Brad Richardson??...pretty sure we can save some cap space with the jersies….
True, Jimbo. But there are other games against them this year.. and they;ve beaten up the Flyers this year, so… glass half full?
So how many of our guys were boozing it up with the Giants today and yesterday?
Big disappointment tonight – shutout at home…..
So to me, how do you address that missing top 2 line winger?
Is Chris Kreider the answer? If so, that’ll be next year….
Is Zach Parise the answer? If so, that’ll be next year….
Is Jeff Carter the answer? If so, well, what will he cost?
Is Rick Nash the answer? If so, well what will HE cost?
Is Alex Hemsky the answer? If so, go get him now!!! lol
Parise is the answer!
Jim how much would all of them cost? LOL!
Jeff 10-foot pole Carter
Fast forward a couple of months from now, “And Erik Christensen scores another power play goal, leading the league in all power play scoring in playing only 20 games!”
hahaha, seriously though, is there any hope at all for the power play?
Hank post-game says it should have been a goal. I think that’s easy for him to say from his end of the ice…
The league is trying to protect the goalies, no?
I missed the entire game, but it seems that if the game comes down to that play (the interference) than things didn’t go so great the rest of the game…
shrugs
My Celts aboot to win their 5th straight. The Knickerbockers should take some notes on how to play with some passion
Celtics!!
Honestly, Shea Weber is the answer.
The stanchion goal last week and then this fizzle-out at home tonight aren’t making me feel like a glass-half-full guy tonight, Mickey….and that miserable byfuglien Clarkson gets them both…galling, just galling…
Devs coach says it was the right call! Haha! How shocking!!
billy, i mentioned the curse of Judas earlier
DJK, i’ve been coveting Mr. Weber for 3 years. don’t tease!
I find the Kreider option the most exciting, but it’s probably the least likely (because he’ll need time, not because I think he’ll suck) – so I’ll go with the Parise option, although don’t be surprised if he ends up resigning with the Devils in the end.
Orr, he looks like Randy Quaid, i guess he gets a tiny sliver of sympathy
That was just one of those games that felt lost right from the get-go. Disappointing. Maybe it’ll act as a reminder that this team needs to come out hard every night, shift one.
LGR.
You can talk back’n forth whatever you want, but it is total bull-cookecarsilloclarke. Period!
Not to say, that Rangers played their best game by any means. To begin with debbies goal itself, which was a square dance among stoned solders – 4(!) rangers were surrounding freaking smiling Joker, like a wax figures in Madame Tussauds museum. Damn, double trouble!
Weber is the one thing that we absolutely, positively, have nothing even remotely resembling on our team.
Carp: You’re obviously closer to the game than we are – is your Carter response based on what we all hear/read or are you more aware of the truth??
ORR!! What Is It Good For?
February 7th, 2012 at 9:34 pm
I believe I won the contest
—————-
I think I got something to say aboot that! Go check out the last thread lol
DJK: Weber will resign with Nashville…that’s my prediction…
I’m so mad and wouldn’t have been if we just lost regularly lol
No, I don’t know him at all. Just going on how much the Flyers wanted to get rid of him … and now doesn’t he want out of Columbus? and don’t you think they don’t want him? Plus the contract. Plus it means no shot at Parise.
Maybe 10-foot isn’t a long enough pole.
Looks like nobody had 1-0 Devils and nobody had Clarkson for the GWG. Win for Sally then?
tough one tonight.
PP needs to sit someone (Cally/AA/Feds) in front of the goal, in a mimic of Graves, then move a lot around him, and take a lot of shots. That is my ignorant opinion.
Torts isn’t talking about it….
Carp I know someone with a 13’ pole if yer interested
PP = Pathetic Play and it must be fixed via a trade.
Speaking of irrelevant – Stan Fischler. Why is he allowed to even cover the Rangers?
Torts doesn’t say anything, except that they had a slow first half of the first period…..I think it lasted longer than that!
And you know what? This makes me wanna puke to type it, but lately Brad Richards is reminding me so much of all those overpaid mercenaries signed to FAT contracts by first Neil Smith and then Glen Sather.
That’s how bad he’s looked lately…
He turns away from more potential hits (and I’m not talking about taking the guy thru the boards contact) in a period lately than scoring chances he’s involved in in an entire game.
So recent retro Ranger it’s gives me the willies…
blame the pp again. i dont want to hear any nonsense about they looked better its about results.
another game with no pp goals
Did Tortorella even call a timeout? Wasn’t it a “TV timeout”?
Anyone have a Youtube clip of Trautwig’s reaction?
LOL! Sounds good, CC!
Jim, either Swebs or Suter, but not both. one of them will be available.
Webs will command large coin IF and that’s a huge IF, SLats trades for him now. I’d think if Slats was working on something like that, he’d make sure he’d sign him to an extension so he’s not giving up a ton for a 2 month rental.
Chris, that’s a good opinion, in my opinion. And I think the last two games the PP has started to get shots at the net with people in front. And often when the puck and player arrive, it’s not usually one of the guys with the best hands. Anisimov had a great PP chance in this game, and had the “non” goal at the end on what was essentially a PP.
Krysztof Oliwa is a 6 1/2 foot Pole…
Carp: Mmmm…ok…was just curious. I get the hestitation, that’s for sure.
But the upside, if he’s simply over sensitive and would respond in the right environment, is enormous and IMO, precisely the kind of player Richards needs.
Big IF, I know…
Staal, not even a little interested.
Linda, curse of Judas indeed.
I say Sally should win and should take me to the game, yeah!
As has been mentioned before tonight, maybe Richards is harboring some kind of injury…he sure looked better than he does now earlier in the season….
>>Stan Fischler. Why is he allowed to even cover the Rangers?
He’d probably sue MSG for age discrimination if they were to can him.
olga, i don’t think anyone wants to hear about oliwa’s pole ;-)
Seabrook makes it 1-0 Black Hawks
Wolski is a Pole too.
Atleast two points stolen in two games against the Devils this month. Gross. New Jersey is the worst state.
Well, we’ve seen that Richards can’t work with Gaborik, and now he can’t work with Callahan. Those are pretty good wingers. What’s to say he could work with another mercenary?
Dru 2.0.
Seriously, I said that on July 1, and only because I thought they were giving too much money for too many years for a very good, but definitely not great, player. But what if this is the player they have for the next 8+ years? Yikes.
Congrats to Orr and CCCP!
Lin, you’re making me blush…
Weber’s not going anywhere, in my opinion. But, Suter is probably going to leave for the big contract. Nothing the Preds can do to stop him, since he’s a UFA, unlike Weber.
Anisimov with the only play of the game that made me relize he even plays for the Rangers and it gets waved off, lol.
Stan Fischler is nice to have around for comic relief. If you stop taking him so seriously, it works.
Carp: He’ll eventually be Reddened if that’s the case. Obviously, not for a couple of years in the least (unless the new agreement eliminates that ability).
Jim (if you’re still around)
i think people get on “negative comments”
when the team is doing well
it’s time like these when i’m just at a loss of what this team
needs other than talent
REAL TALENT
EVERY DAY TALENT
like i said tonight
it looks similar to the team’s play back in october
when we’d win some games, lose others
but either way
we looked like strangers who got together to
play and happen to wear the same jersey
lack of effort for most of game
as in
far far FAR
from The Right Way
Richards sucks…
Torts pushed hard for him, right? Think he has buyers remorse? ....I would…
Well, the Fishsticks beat Philthy in a shootout tonight – but that doesn’t make me feel any better, either….
Evening all,
Twenty games over .500
33-11-4 since the 0-2-1 start
And most of you react as if the Rangers record was the opposite
Torts is right not to talk about the officials – especially after the Winter Classic
Sometimes they get it right, sometimes they get it wrong – like tonight
And the coached spewed quite a bit of venom before he left the ice
But that’s where it ends
The Rangers will get their share of breaks as the season moves along
They didn’t play well enough tonight over the course of 60 minutes to get the two points
Stop your sobbing
Jim
Richards can’t be Redden’d. LOL! It’s a DISASTER contract….No Move clause….
Stan Fischler: ‘Brad Park is better than Bobby Orr’. Nuff said about that dude…
Carp, when you say “Dru 2.0” I cringe and retch a little… You better be wrong! :/
Carp, if your last paragraph is the reality, it’s gonna be a long 8 years and 5 months, that’s for sure!
AAAW OLGA! i thought you were unblushable!! XO
Gonna go work out my dark side sith angaaaaaaah now!
We’ll get back on track Thursday! And don’t let the DD’s and NN’s and general asshats tear the place apart tomorrow!
XO Heads!
Avs tie it up. 1-1
Richards has sucked ever since Olivia Munn dumped him.
Short of getting St. Louis or Loui Eriksson I honestly don’t know who to put with him.
NYR_FAN: Ooh…ouch. Well, maybe there will be a clause in the next agreement to get out of those silly contracts.
Definitely could be a haunting contract in the years to come – Sather SUCKS!
come on habs win the shootout
Av ahead 2-1
Emery. If you’re asking…
Can I get a “FIRE SATHER”!
Jim, don’t forget the time Stan said “Valliquette is good enough to be a starter in the NHL” LOL!!
NYR, not as bad as Perry Pearn pushing for Redden. Ahaha!
authorben: “Most of you react is if it’s the opposite”.
Right – that’s as silly as those who call BB crap and call for 1/2 the team to be traded after a loss.
Extremes work both ways….
funny things is i thought that the
allstar break was going to be good
for this team because they’d get to rest
their beat up bodies and come back fresh
but instead
they’ve gone back to the way they played
at the beginning of the season.
Kane ties it up Chi 2- Col 2
Rangers played a good game for 2 and 1/2 periods tonite. Marty played like Marty of old – we can’t win them all…
habs win 8th round of shootout
FIRE SATHER!
NYR stills hold the record for longest shootout. I think they’re 1 & 2. First one is 15, against the Craps won by Malik, and the second is 12, against the Flyers, won by Hossa.
Also, IMO its crap that the national felons league giants get a parade but our troops don’t? Total BS.
Vets definitely deserve a parade Gunny.
I don’t know, jpg. They played pretty well in Newark (got a bad break), played pretty well in Buffalo. Played very well vs. the Flys Sunday. Didn’t think they played horribly tonight. Sure didn’t give up much.
That Malikinstein goal never gets old!
I’m not advocating the break-up of the GAS/GHS line, but I do think everyone was too quick to decide that Richards ABSOLUTELY COULD NOT PLAY with Gabby. I think at some point that deserves a longer, sustained look.
I do think that Richards has had more significant goals already, despite his ghostly play, than Captain Clutch did during his entire tenure with the Rangers.
Did someone say Stan Fischler?
http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lytvm7puQB1qm9t0s.gif
Haha!
When was the last time B-Rich played with Gaborik? I honestly can’t remember…
Agreed, Chris. I thought it should have been made to work. But the coaches hates it, which I might speculate means that Richards didn’t like playing with Gaborik. But Gaborik has played great without Richards.
and, yes, Richards has had some enormous moments for this team this year. But he’s been MIA for a while now. And I thought the contract was ridiculous before he signed it.
November maybe, CCCP? Late October? I don’t remember either.
Mickey, you’ve cracked me up at least four different times with that link.
new post.
Carped myself.
Carp
ok, i see your point but offensively it looks
like they’ve regressed
i guess when i talk about regressing to
their days at beginning of the season
i’m referring to how the team played at that time
versus when they got their act together—the inability to pass to
one another
to do anything in the offensive zone for
the majority of the game
when things have gone good with this team
they look involved rather than dumping
the puck
yet never having anyone to catch up to it.
things like that.
Ipso Facto
