News and insight about the New York Rangers by Rick Carpiniello


It’s Go Time!

Posted by: Carp - Posted in Hockey, New York Rangers, NHL on Feb 19, 2012

Game 57.

Rick Nash in the house … a Blue Jacket for the time being. Vinny Prospal and Fedor Tyutin here, too. Can you believe Columbus has only been here four times since its inception.

Ya boys on a one-game losing streak, 4-1 in the last five and 20-6-1 in their last 27. Haven’t lost two in a row since Dec. 13-15, and have lost two in a row in regulation only one other time this season.

Henrik Lundqvist back in goal. Same lineup otherwise, which means Stu Bickel up on the wing and Wojtek Wolski and Jeff Woywitka are prucha’d. Ruslan Fedotenko skated today, but there’s no update on his condition.

The Blue Jackets are playing better, though maybe not as well as Nash seems to think (hear the pre-gamer in the thread below). They’ve won four of seven, and were bombed by Chicago 6-1 at home Saturday after beating the Blues earlier in the week.

Keep an eye on Nash tonight … because I think there’s a really good chance he’ll be switching from jackets to shirts, if you know what I mean, by next Monday. Also keep an eye on mini-enforcer and Jackets alternate captain Derek Dorsett (175 penalty minutes) who fought Chicago’s John Scott, giving away eight or nine inches and about 80-90 pounds, Saturday.

  6. MickeyM

    Evening gang.

    I have cleaned ALLLLL of the things today. And made chili for Tuesday and a breakfast thing for work tomorrow. Productive Sunday FTW.

    However, I will be missing the first period cause I have a skype call with my sis and her family.

    NO TO NASH!!!

  7. JimboWoodside

    CARPED!!! it’s true, Lin!

  8. Tiki XLII XLVI

    Im an honorary Asian American from now on!!!!!

    LGR!!!!!!!!!

    LINZO!!!!!

  9. Gravy

    Let’s go Rangers!

  10. Yev Kassem

    LGR’s! Man, Rick Nash is a BIG GUY! I don’t want to give up too much, but park that guy in front of the net on the PP. Who is going to move him out?

  11. meganegatron

    In other words (Carped in last thread), if you have no idea
    what the cost to the Rangers is going to be, by definition
    there’s no way to do a cost/benefit analysis.

    Unless it’s one of those meaningless jobs that come from
    grads of Fan College of Sarasota…

  12. Lev

    Joe M just said that Sather met with Howson before the game….

  13. HageLinMcCalPruBoylahan

    TIKIZO!!!!

    again Jim, thanks for your kind words!

    Lev, that kind scares me

  14. Dubiiii

    GOGOGOGOOOOOOO!!!! LGRRRRR!!!!

  15. JimboWoodside

    Welcome, Lin!

    Lev, that IS scary – I hope Uncle Glennie convinced him to take Redden, Aves, and a few others on the Whale – and maybe only 1 forward from our roster..

  16. JimboWoodside

    Can Glen offer Kathryn Tappen to Columbus? Would that help!? ;-D

  17. Carp

    megan, what’s the problem, bro? are you suggesting they’re not better with Nash?

  18. Dubiiii

    also…i love baked apples..mmmmmmm

  19. Olga Folkyerself

    Ready for Nash’s New York Ranger audition? Bottom line, like it was in ‘94… if the trade goes toward winning a Cup, it’s worth it, if we don’t, it isn’t.

    FIRE SATHER! {{{{{LINDA}}}}}

  20. JimboWoodside

    Can’t take this team for granted tonight – we need these 2 points badly!

  21. Tiki XLII XLVI

    HA! I love Party in the USA too!!!!

  22. HageLinMcCalPruBoylahan

    lmfao @ megan!! that’s just funny

    FIRE SATHER {{{{{OLGA BABY}}}}}

  23. HageLinMcCalPruBoylahan

    Jimbo, i don’t put the ZO at the end of your name for a reason lol

  24. MickeyM

    Carp you just gave me a heart attack with this:

    Carp February 19th, 2012 at 7:55 pm

    megan, what’s the problem, bro? are you suggesting they’re not better with Nash?

    Those who are on FB would know why, lol.

  25. Carp

    I don’t get it, Mickey.

  26. ORR!! What Is It Good For?!?!

    Ugh! How many times are they going to show the Knickerbockers in this NYR pre-game show?

  27. JimboWoodside

    Hahahaha!!! Thanks, Lin – I never thought of that, but I do appreciate that you don’t!

  28. ilb2001

    Lol, Mickey….

  29. MickeyM

    There’s a name confusion there, Carp. On my end that is.

  30. HageLinMcCalPruBoylahan

    WOOOOOOOO STREAM!!! LETS GO RANGERS!!!!!!!!!! and honestly, i couldn’t give a rats ass about the knicks lol

    lmao Drurys at the game, behind troutface

  31. JimboWoodside

    I thought the same thing, Mickey!!

    Wow – Habs got a goal – too little, too late?

    No shutout for fatso tonight, anyway…

  32. tomg

    I haven’t stated this before until now but I’ve been thinking lately that the big fat turd (James Dolan) is putting pressure on Sather to make this deal whatever it takes just like Dolan step over Walsh to trade for Carmelo Anthony.

  33. Chopper

    LGR!

  34. HageLinMcCalPruBoylahan

    Mickey, that’s the first thing i thought of. I was like ‘what did mickey say that carp called her bro’... then I remembered meganegatron lol

  35. LW3H

    Early Knickerbocker update there.

  36. HageLinMcCalPruBoylahan

    sam

    youth. hockey. player

  37. Tiki XLII XLVI

    Good for Sam, talking about the Lincredible Asian!!!!

    LGR!!!!!!

  38. jpg

    didn’t receive an answer on this yesterday
    (or didn’t see one)
    so i’ll try again

    if someone like Avery is traded
    does he still need to go through
    waivers and possibly be picked up
    by a different team or can the team
    that did the trade just bring him up?

  39. MickeyM

    I am no ‘bro’, that is for sure! Although I can talk sports with the best of them! Heck, I did it for 3 years back in my VT days.

  40. HageLinMcCalPruBoylahan

    tomg, he should choke on a chicken bone then lol

    i schmid i schmid

    or do i

  41. HageLinMcCalPruBoylahan

    jpg i think he has to come off waivers to be traded

  42. eric

    need the two pts tonight before trip to pitt on tues

    gain on pitt and bost. hopefully devs blow lead.

  43. JimboWoodside

    Tomg, you could very well be right – meant to comment on your post before, but things got busy here.

    He’s been known to “interfere” – he’s the owner, after all!

  44. jpg

    interesting because i thought
    Sather didn’t put Avery on waivers
    because he not only didn’t want
    to be on the hook for a portion
    of his salary but also because
    he wanted something in return

    thought that was the reason why
    nothing would happen til trade deadline.

    maybe i read it wrong.

  45. LW3H

    Is Prospal going to get booed?

  46. MickeyM

    Someone tell Jimmyboy to worry about his dear Knicks and leave the Rangers alone. Hell I’ll drive to NYC and tell him myself!

  47. HageLinMcCalPruBoylahan

    i dont think they’d boo Fankist!

  48. tomg

    JimboWoodside,

    yea, dolan is the owner and that’s what scares me, especially when he gets involved. Everything that guy touches turns to crap.

  49. MickeyM

    Ok, skype time!

    Catch ya all later!

    Let’s go Boys!!

  50. ilb2001

    Bronzer!

  51. LW3H

    I think I could put up better numbers than Sieve Mason. (Cue shutout.)

  52. meganegatron

    The Jersey front office found Clarkson – just scored his 22nd on a what some
    folks still think of us a defense-first team. Cap hit: 2.67 million.

    The Philly front office (y’know, that Holmgren guy not well-thought of by many
    here – who had his team in the finals three years after takin’ the job) found
    Wayne Simmonds, already a 20-goal scorer, high-energy, edgy. Cap hit: 1.75 million.

    Uncle Glen is gonna get 18 goals, and the league’s worst plus/minus (I know,
    it’s a highly-flawed stat, but not ENTIRELY without meaning) for almost TWICE
    what those two guys would cost.

    Let’s get it done!!!!

  53. CCCP

    It’s Nash Time!

  54. HageLinMcCalPruBoylahan

    i think i am about to get some really bad news from a friend. i might not be posting much for a while.

  55. Olga Folkyerself

    There’s a lot of freakin red white and blue out there….

  56. ORR!! What Is It Good For?!?!

    What are the odds Chris Kreider jumps onto the ice and stabs Rick Nash, like Monica Seles?

  57. LW3H

    Curtis Sandwich? Curtis Sand-dune?

  58. tomg

    wow, Nash looks out of shape on the bench, huffing and puffing.

  59. jpg

    we better get on the board soon
    because i can see the ice getting really
    awful
    as the game progresses
    due to knicks game earlier.

  60. JimboWoodside

    Meganega, so, you don’t like Sather – is that the gist of your comment?

  61. JimboWoodside

    >>>What are the odds Chris Kreider jumps onto the ice and stabs Rick Nash, like Monica Seles?

    ORR, you are certifiable!! Totally!! ;-D

  62. JimboWoodside

    I hope you’re wrong, Lin..really.

  63. Lev

    why is Nash trying to hit his future teammates?

  64. JimboWoodside

    Argh! Debs score again – 3-1….fuggit!

  65. JimboWoodside

    Maybe Nash has been told who he can hit by Howson, Lev?

  66. JimboWoodside

    Dang! Lotsa almost chances there!

  67. Lev

    ahhh maybe Jimbo! then McD and Cally arent going anywhere

  68. Carp

    Mickey, I still dont get it, but that’s OK.

    I don’t think this is a Dolan deal. It seems to me that the Rangers really like this guy and want him.

  69. JimboWoodside

    Right, Lev! Now, if he lays out Dubi, there might be something to the theory…

  70. Carp

    Good luck Linda.

  71. drchomz

    Let’s go Rangers!!!

  72. Olga Folkyerself

    Beep beep
    beep beep
    His horn went beep beep beep
    While riding in my Cadillac
    What to my surprise
    A little Nash Rambler was following me
    About one third my size
    The guy musta wanted to pass me up
    As he kept on tooting his horn
    I’ll show him that a Cadillac is not a car to scorn
    Beep beep
    beep beep
    His horn went beep beep beep

  73. CCCP

    I wanna make some kind of a Nash joke but I got nuthin’...

  74. drchomz

    Love the radio call with kenny albert and dave malony on espn 1050. Tune in radio app.

  75. ilb2001

    Hope you’re wrong, Linda

  76. Tiki XLII XLVI

    What a joke that blown whistle was…

  77. HageLinMcCalPruBoylahan

    it’s pretty bad! i’m shaking and gonna be worrying beyond belief until Thursday when her lil girl is finally back on US soil. I”m freaking out

  78. tomb

    dont trade DZ hes bertter than nash

  79. ilb2001

    Men against boys so far. Time to score

  80. ZzZz NYR ZzZz© " Don't stepan the logo!!!"...says Greg L.

    RANGERSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!

    go go go go go go go go go gog ogo go go go go go go go!!!!

    lets go Rangers!!!!

  81. cgiacomo

    Yo carp, look right!

  82. jpg

    yeah
    we’ve got the play
    but we need to score

    i wanna sing that happy we scored song!

  83. JimboWoodside

    Sounds bad – hope she gets home swifty & safely, Lin.

  84. JimboWoodside

    Swiftly

  85. Lev

    there goes that theory Jimbo..

  86. Lev

    tomg i know you have some weird grudge or something against Nash but common be realistic Nash is impressive so far…

  87. JimboWoodside

    :-(

  88. eric

    who wants to win the southleast.

    fla loses again caps are cold.

    watch tampa or jets win the div

  89. eric

    whoever finishes 6th and plays that div winner has a better matchup then being 4th and having home ice against a div opponent likely two atlantic div teams

  90. tomg

    “Lev February 19th, 2012 at 8:30 pm

    tomg i know you have some weird grudge or something against Nash but common be realistic Nash is impressive so far…”

    really, I hope your kidding, not sure what you have seen. I’m not impressed, not for the players the rangers would have to give up and definitely not for 8 mil a year.

  91. Lev

    better score soon, or else this will be 0-0 until BCATGE

  92. JimboWoodside

    Deb beat Habs, 3-1….in MTL…

  93. Lev

    well im not looking at it from the angle of him doing every little thing wrong just to bring the guy down….but he seems like the only guy on that team that cares, he’s hitting, and he’s joined the rush a few times.

  94. ORR!! What Is It Good For?!?!

    WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

  95. tomg

    lev,

    not sure what the love affair is for some of the ranger fans on this blog for Rick Nash.

  96. Lev

    there ya go!!!!!!

  97. eric

    b richhhhhhh

  98. JimboWoodside

    WooooHoooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  99. jpg

    NICE!!!!!!!!!

  100. Tiki XLII XLVI

    What passing!!!!

  101. ilb2001

    Woooohooooooo. Brich!

  102. JimboWoodside

    No trading Hags either – I forgot about him!!

  103. CCCP

    Wow! Great play!

  104. Gravy

    B-Rich!

  105. Winston

    Yippeeeeeeee!

    Let’s go Rangers!!!

  106. Yev Kassem

    LOVE HAGS! Nice finish by BRich

  107. HageLinMcCalPruBoylahan

    NICE GOAL!!!!!!!!!!!

  108. iManny

    Trade Richards! 18! Chai! He is tied with that bum Nash(ER)

  109. tomg

    Lev, we have a guy who does that, maybe you heard of him, his name is Dubinsky.

  110. ilb2001

    Anisimov may just have made Columbus want him more than Dubi by that defensive play

  111. Yev Kassem

    Nash has been invisible this period.

  112. Spideraasenski

    Don’t look now, but the Devils are ahead of the Flyers and Penguins in the standings.

  113. Tiki XLII XLVI

    Because Rick Nash is a better scorer than everyone on our team except Gabby.

  114. JimboWoodside

    Another LINsanity mention by Sam – good company man….

  115. Carp

    except when he rubbed out Dubinsky.

  116. Carp

    They should put Hagelin on the PP. :)

  117. ilb2001

    LMAO @ Chai!

  118. HageLinMcCalPruBoylahan

    tomg, they just traded the Richards hardon from the past 2 seasons to Nash now. lol ;-)

  119. Lev

    ye i know tomg the first line Dubinsky that will someday score 45 goals blah blah blah. agree to disagree. I want Nash and he’ll be a monster here.

  120. JimboWoodside

    You’re right, Spider – those bastages are on our heels – and I still am annoyed that we gave them 4 points a couple of weeks ago.

  121. eric

    yev

    disagree on nash love his size and how he could shield the puck. that said stay put no major deal pick up a rental maybe a selanne if the ducks lose some on the rest of there trip.

    4-0-2 on game trip but ducks still not picking up major gorund

  122. tomg

    carp, I’m supposed to get excited about a player making 8 million a year because he rubbed out dubinsky? Wow, this blog is getting crazy.

  123. Carp

    didn’t say you should get excited, tomg.

  124. tomg

    lev,

    dubinsky scoring 45 goals, who ever said that dude, now your making things up.

  125. JBytes

    Still 1-nil.

  126. oleosmirf

    so how terrible is Columbus?

  127. JimboWoodside

    Not terrible enough! We’re not up by six goals yet!

  128. eric

    like i have said numerous times on the blog the devils season turned on the bounce against the rangers. they had lost 3 before that game and were in 8th

    now there 4th and i now worry about them more then pitt and phil for the div

  129. ZzZz NYR ZzZz© " Don't stepan the logo!!!"...says Greg L.

    Crazy Columbus tv , its been intermission and at least 3 -4 hot chicks are telecasting Blue Jacket events and news…wowsers gotta love Columbus’s way to keep the fan watchin!!

  130. HageLinMcCalPruBoylahan

    sigh, you know i love you guys and all but WHY ARE MEN SO HARTNELLING PRIDEFUL and stubborn!? argh i just wanna punch him in the freakin face@!

  131. LW3H

    It’s good practice for whichever Rangers go the other way in the deal to spend the whole game camped in the Columbus zone. They need to get used to it.

  132. MickeyM

    I’m back now! Horse Chompers scored, I see. Good for him. Now pour it on boys. And I wanna see Dubi pop Nash but good.

  133. Spideraasenski

    Very terrible

  134. Spideraasenski

    Is it possible we might see the day this season when a division winner has less points than the ninth place team thanks to the Southeast?

  135. tomg

    Yea, as Carp pointed out before, Dubi owes Nash one.

  136. ZzZz NYR ZzZz© " Don't stepan the logo!!!"...says Greg L.

    No worries Eric , Devils aint got nuthin on the Rangers.

    Rangers are winning the cup , Boston had it last year and this year we take it away from Boston. WE eliminate then in the playoffs and go on to win the cup in 7 games. Bank it!!!

    BTW last year Hank was softqvist , this year he is one word and one word only…ELITE!!! He never won a cup but after this year people wont be saying that again. We are witnessing the greatest goalie in the game , when Hanks all done , Marty wont have that shut out record.

  137. 4everanger

    Guys, arrogance is punishable…by goals against and lost games.

  138. oleosmirf

    i think this Columbus team is one of the worst teams i’ve seen in the NHL in years. No wonder why Nash’s numbers are what they are.

    How is he supposed to score when he’s in his own zone the whole game…

  139. ORR!! What Is It Good For?!?!

    Hank is Hardqvist. He’s been an erection all year long.

  140. 4everanger

    Double show-off tonight…

  141. oleosmirf

    I love Derek Stepan’s mom too…

  142. ORR!! What Is It Good For?!?!

    Ugh! I wish Artie would have shot that instead of passing to Butt-Chin.

  143. CCCP

    So far Nash’s been invisible for the Rangers…

  144. Carp

    Spider, why not, in a league that has contests after games, rewards losers with points, has teams with losing records above .500, suspends guys for crosschecks to the head for one game, and fines guys couch change for elbows to the face.

  145. ZzZz NYR ZzZz© " Don't stepan the logo!!!"...says Greg L.

    GO RANGERS!!!!

    GO RANGERS!!!!

    LETS GO!!!!!

    It seems when Biron is in net , our team gets lazy on defense? Hank kicks anyones azz who doesn’t block shots or dosn’t make the play …Hank is a perfectionist and act like the Captain of this club.

  146. ORR!! What Is It Good For?!?!

    Bad penalty

  147. Spideraasenski

    Gary Carter tribute: http://blogs.buffalonews.com/insidepitch/2012/02/see-the-habs-gary-carter-tribute.html

  148. ZzZz NYR ZzZz© " Don't stepan the logo!!!"...says Greg L.

    haha Orr , borderline bad but very true!!!! Hardqvist is rock solid!!!

  149. ORR!! What Is It Good For?!?!

    What the fugg, Stall?? SHOOT!

  150. ORR!! What Is It Good For?!?!

    Jeez! Control your fuggin stick, Butt-Chin!

  151. JimboWoodside

    Damned ticky-tacky penalties!!

  152. LW3H

    When’s the Jeff Carter tribute? Sad to see his career end too.

  153. Tiki XLII XLVI

    So the worst team in the NHL hasnt committed a penalty yet, but the best team in the NHL has committed 2? Interesting…

  154. eric

    staal needs to shoot the puck there

  155. eric

    good job butt chin

  156. 4everanger

    I told ya…

  157. JimboWoodside

    See? ticky-tacky!

  158. ORR!! What Is It Good For?!?!

    Brassard, yet another Columbus bust…

  159. JimboWoodside

    Not enough drive in this game – NEED these points!!!

  160. 4everanger

    Their PPmuch better. Our guys can take a lesson …or two.

  161. Big Whale

    Looks what happens when you SHOOT THE PUCK!!!

  162. 4everanger

    Too bad – no shut-out for Hank. (my only concern here)

  163. JimboWoodside

    We’ve made many strides this year, but so far, we haven’t shaken a fault we’ve had for many seasons now – we are a TONIC for weak teams that are struggling and on major losing streaks. They always seem to come into our building and embarrass us.

  164. 4everanger

    Hey, Gaby, you owe us 2 now…

  165. Grabby

    rangers starting to suck lately

  166. Grabby

    gab? yea right. more like duby, boyle, feds and the rest needto start scoring.

  167. HageLinMcCalPruBoylahan

    Grabby you’re insane lol

  168. MickeyM

    Mason needs to go back to being awful.

  169. HageLinMcCalPruBoylahan

    i meant that to your first comment. NOT to the other guys needing to start getting offensive

  170. Grabby

    if w were the same spot as last year, all these pro duby guys would be desperate to dump duby. only cuz were winning is everyone more lenienton him

  171. Carp

    I don’t know, Jimbo. Seems to me they’ve beaten a lot of bad teams this year, and a lot of good teams.

  172. eric

    7 pt lead on devs cant led this pts slip away. need results tonight come on pp

  173. MickeyM

    We can haz PP goal, pls?

  174. ORR!! What Is It Good For?!?!

    5 on 3!

  175. Grabby

    im drunk sorry lin

  176. Tiki XLII XLVI

    YAY!!!! A 5 on 3!!!!!

  177. eric

    5 0n 3 should i get excited

  178. MickeyM

    No passing, just shoot, for the love of god!

  179. ilb2001

    Nash isn’t sure who he is playing for

  180. HageLinMcCalPruBoylahan

    He takes too many penalties.. dont trade for that!!!

  181. CCCP

    Nash is helping his future team already

  182. JimboWoodside

    Nash tried to help us there!

  183. HageLinMcCalPruBoylahan

    you know i love ya grabby lol

  184. Grabby

    5 on 3? huh

  185. Lev

    27th PP vs 30th PK…

  186. ORR!! What Is It Good For?!?!

    Dumbass fans booing

  187. tomg

    rangers do a good job of killing off there own power plays.

  188. HageLinMcCalPruBoylahan

    nap time lol

  189. MickeyM

    Sigh

  190. JimboWoodside

    They don’t beat the Islanders often enough, Carp – they should never lose to them…or the Devils earlier in the season when they blew…didn’t dominate them…

  191. Tiki XLII XLVI

    We got better chances on the 5 on 4 than on the 5 on 3. Completely bothced the 5 on 3. Just get the puck high to low and across.

  192. ORR!! What Is It Good For?!?!

    ARTIE PARTY!!

  193. JimboWoodside

    AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARtie!!

  194. Tiki XLII XLVI

    SCORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  195. MickeyM

  196. Olga Folkyerself

    AA OK!

  197. ilb2001

  198. CCCP

    FINALLY! All that hard work…

  199. eric

    how could sam rosen say mason was terrific the rangers passed around forever

  200. JimboWoodside

    They don’t beat the Habs either – and they’re dreadful….

  201. tomb

    finally!

    good for Artie

  202. JBytes

    BANG, Anisimov shoots! 2-1.

  203. HageLinMcCalPruBoylahan

    NABOOOOOOOOOO!

  204. eric

    jimbo

    beat habs at home the WORLD WOULD HAVE TO END FOR US TO WIN IN MONTREAL

  205. Spideraasenski

    One game on local TV in Cleveland this year and of course the Cavaliers are playing the end of their game at the same time and my cable system doesn’t have the FSN Ohio alternate. They played the whole Cavs post game show before switching to the Blue Jackets! Got on TV right when the 5 on 3 began.

  206. HageLinMcCalPruBoylahan

    Anisimiov rifles it in

  207. cgiacomo

    5 on 3 and nothing. This is why if they don’t get a goal scorer they won’t go past 2w rounds in the playoffs.

  208. Spideraasenski

    There’s a hat trick in 1 out of every 18 games according to Blue Jackets commercial. For Columbus, it must be from their opponents.

  209. ORR!! What Is It Good For?!?!

    Slats must be thinking how Artie will look in a Blue Jackets jersey…

    “eric February 19th, 2012 at 9:19 pm

    They have until dec 21st, 2012:-)

  211. ZzZz NYR ZzZz© " Don't stepan the logo!!!"...says Greg L.

    so calm , so passive …the game is very controlled by the good guys. We pass like a team , give and gos and other great plays. The last two on one we forced the cross crease and fail but it finally shows our guy get it. This is a BEUTY to watch .

    LETS GO RANGERS!!!!

  212. eric

    i get more nervous for games against bad team then i do for pitt and bost and phil and devs

  213. JimboWoodside

    And Carolina – Skinner the figure skater kills us pretty regularly, while the Isles have beaten them four times this season..

  214. cgiacomo

    At the game tonight. Got to shakethe hand that shook Messier’s hand.

  215. LW3H

    Jimbo

    Depends how you’re defining “weak”, but the Rangers’ only have two home defeats to teams currently outside the playoff positions (a SO loss to Tampa Bay and a 1-0 loss to Dallas).

  216. Tom Foolery

    Someone should tell Sam and Joe Dubinsky isn’t making $4 mil to do “other things well”.

  217. tomb

    funny spider

  218. eric

    dubi erixon zucc and 2 number 1 for nash.

    that enough?

    no kreider

  219. ORR!! What Is It Good For?!?!

    Not enough, Eric.

    Dublowsky, Artie, Erixon, draft picks. That could possibly get it done.

  220. LW3H

    2-0 against Carolina this season…

  221. ORR!! What Is It Good For?!?!

    I want to light a tree on fire every time I hear that stupid Rangers song!

  222. Carp

    It’s R-A-N-G-E-R-S. What a song.

    fight in the stands during Rangers-Blue Jackets? WTB?

  223. tomg

    wow, what a soft call for a penalty.

  224. HageLinMcCalPruBoylahan

    oh man another eminger penalty… grrrrr

    I SHAKE MY FIST AT YOU EMINGER

  225. LW3H

    I think Eminger penalty deserves bold status by now.

  226. ORR!! What Is It Good For?!?!

    A Rangers fan probably told the Jackets fan what he would give up for Nash, and the fan didn’t like it.

  227. MickeyM

    Eminger needs to be fined for those stupid penalties.

  228. Lev

    Jeff Carter is playing? what??

  229. LW3H

    If Nash’s was a hook, that was a hook.

  230. ORR!! What Is It Good For?!?!

    Noooooooo!

  231. MickeyM

    REVIEW!!

  232. ORR!! What Is It Good For?!?!

    Joe says it did, which means it WONT COUNT!

  233. ilb2001

    No goal, I’m afraid….

  234. JimboWoodside

    OK on Carolina, LW and Carp – I must still be smarting from past years…

    We’re gonna get jobbed here…

  235. ORR!! What Is It Good For?!?!

    WEEEEEEEE

  236. LW3H

    No goal.

  237. Tiki XLII XLVI

    The Puck hit the referee to stay in the zone and give us a goal!!!!!!

    SCOREEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  238. eric

    huge goalllllllllll

  239. JimboWoodside

    MDZ doesn’t want to go to Columbus!

  240. HageLinMcCalPruBoylahan

    WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  241. ORR!! What Is It Good For?!?!

    Someone should remind Joe that the “f” in shift is NOT silent.

  242. HageLinMcCalPruBoylahan

    i love these goals FOR us at 00.1 second left!

  243. ORR!! What Is It Good For?!?!

    WHAT?????? YOU FUGGER!

  244. LW3H

    That’s not the official clock, right?

  245. JBytes

    Yikes!

  246. CCCP

    BAD CALL!!!!

  247. Lev

    LOLOL MSG…..

  248. ilb2001

    Doesnt matter. Howson isn’t getting MDZ! No way!

  249. Tiki XLII XLVI

    What? They cheated us.

  250. Olga Folkyerself

    Plenty of time left….

  251. MickeyM

    GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRr

  252. JimboWoodside

    Told Ya! No love for us from Toronto…

    Didn’t we lose to Toronto twice this year, too?

  253. eric

    are u kidding me

  254. HageLinMcCalPruBoylahan

    wow. that’s nuts!!!

    you guys called it

  255. ilb2001

    The official clock is in Toronto.

  256. Tiki XLII XLVI

    What’s the official clock?

  257. YouveGotGold

    Toronto Screw Job…

  258. eric

    so who controls the real game clock

  259. tomg

    doesn’t surprise me, the incompetent NHL, nothing like it in sports.

  260. CCCP

    “unconfuse my confusion”

  261. Tiki XLII XLVI

    ilb, “the official clock is in Toronto” is code for they’ll decide how and when they’ll cheat us. LOL :) No proof for the Rangers or the viewing audience.

  262. Spideraasenski

    I don’t understand. Blame the Blue Jackets. NHL giving them a break after Kings fiasco. FSN Ohio shows puck went in with two tenths remaining.

  263. JBytes

    Apparently, only Toronto knows what the “official time” is.

  264. Carp

    that is not the official clock you saw.

  265. SCX

    Carp, you get down there and fix this!

  266. Tiki XLII XLVI

    Just gotta put it behind us and move forward, and go on and win the game…

  267. duckbill Plat-y-pus

    ilbster!!! :)

  268. Lev

    i just got a text with the score alert…it says Deveaux scored not MDZ…....LOL

  269. Carp

    They absolutely should show the official video seen in Toronto. No doubt.

  270. ORR!! What Is It Good For?!?!

    I don’t get it, why does Toronto have the only official clock?

  271. Rollin dubi's

    Ugggh van massengill.

  272. tomg

    look at the bright side, Delzotto didn’t score a goal against columbus, if he did, Howson would make it a deal breaker, no delzotto, no Nash .:-).

  273. Spideraasenski

    Maybe someone will talk about how couloumbs run through the clock. It’s all very advanced and technical.

  274. oleosmirf

    I hope they show the video with the clock they used in Toronto…

  275. ZzZz NYR ZzZz© " Don't stepan the logo!!!"...says Greg L.

    Yeah because if everyone has the wrong time , why the holey hell is the time shown at all!!???

  276. stuart a

    nice 5 on 3, pattycake wit hthe puck for 45 seconds.

    they need Boyle to take the faceoff at the start of the 5 on 3, if Stepan cannot win faceoffs in that situation they need someone else to take the faceoff.

    staal with a 2 on 1 earlier did not even get a shot off.. shoot the puck…...

    the no goal, is all that is wrong with the NHL. head scratchter…......

  277. MickeyM

    Ehh, they’re still up by one. And man is Columbus awful.

  278. JimboWoodside

    Ha! The score at the bottom of the MSG feed has us up 3-1…somebody goofed….

  279. Tom Foolery

    Didn’t this same thing happen to us in a playoff game recently?

  280. Lev

    ye Toronto randomly decided to screw us over tonight but not in Phoenix…really people?

  281. Latona

    They should really show us the Toronto feed.

  282. TheMessiah94

    Figures it’s Van Massenhoven again. Shocker!!

  283. eric

    please keep in mind columbus got screwed against the kings a couple of weeks ago to lose a game when the clock stopped.

    maybe toronto owed them one there

  284. ilb2001

    The “war zone” reviews all goals and has the official clock. But yes, the viewers should be able to see it

  285. stuart a

    is Nash even playing?

    jeff carter looks horrible, he will probably go bananas in the 3rd but Carter should give Columbus a refund…

  286. eric

    somehow this will come back and haunt us i know it

  287. HageLinMcCalPruBoylahan

    with all the technology out there today, how does this league NOT have synchronized time clocks???? HOW???? TELL ME !!! I’m shaking fists!

  288. Boom Boom Bathgate

    If the clock in Toronto is different from the clock in NY, it completely defeats the purpose of having an out-of-town official clock. What garbage.

    Maloney said the puck was in the back of the net with 1/10th of a second remaining on the MSG clock. Of course, in the Bettman era, nothing that is broken is ever fixed, while alot that is fixed is broken.

  289. Lev

    how did Joe M not know that isnt the official clock??

  290. Spideraasenski

    It all has to do with the position of the sun and the moon and in a leap year, the space-time continuum is self-correcting for the presence of an extra day that is accounted for in the quarters of days in the prior three years and the current one.

  291. LW3H

    Yes, two home losses to the Leafs (and two to the Senators), Jimbo. But they are currently a playoff team, as flawed as they are. Plus the Rangers weren’t leading the conference at the time either. Hardly a total disgrace to lose to them.

  292. ZzZz NYR ZzZz© " Don't stepan the logo!!!"...says Greg L.

    Why show the time if its wrong!!???

    Ya get the fans all mad , there the ones that pay the tickets , the coach gets upset…why would they have the wrong time!!??? Why display a bogus time!!???? Why the heck aint the NHL advising teams to display the real time!!!! The time is important and to have a goal disallowed when in our PLAIN site the goal was good. This is not good for bizness nor is it good for the fans who will have sour taste if we lose. The time is a joke as far as im concerned , its a fake!!! The time is all just a number that we watch but it has no meaning. The time blows.

  293. Spideraasenski

    How can Toronto have the official clock? They’re not in the arena to hear the referee’s/linesman’s whistle and see when the puck is dropped. Nonsense!

  294. oleosmirf

    luckily Columbus is garbage and the only way the Rangers lose this game in regulation is if Torts decides to use the prevent defense right now.

    No reason why the Rangers can’t pour more goals on this awful team…

  295. CCCP

    That goal in Nashville…was that official clock?

  296. Tiki XLII XLVI

    I just wish we fans and the Rangers would get some sort of proof.

  297. JimboWoodside

    I tend to agree with eric – too many years of Ranger pain in my constitution….I hope we’re wrong!

    We lost to an (at the time) horrible Dallas team here at home, too…and then lost to a terrible (at the time) St. Louis team on the road the next game….we lose too many games to losers! Edmonton and Toronto included.

  298. eric

    whats the div btwn this goal tonight and the rich goal in phoenix

  299. ZzZz NYR ZzZz© " Don't stepan the logo!!!"...says Greg L.

    Oleo , yeah its true we can pop in a few but it just doesn’t seem just.

    GO RANGERS!!! Blow out Rick Nashs KNEE!!!! haha just kiddin!!!

    RANGERS

    RANGERS

    RANGERS are number # 1 !!!

  300. ORR!! What Is It Good For?!?!

    How can anyone blame Van Massenhoven? It’s not his call.

    Such a stupid call. Official clock? Why the hell are the playing with the unofficial clock? None of it makes sense!

  301. eric

    jimbo

    we have gotten a lot better about losing to bad teams at home i just said for sure i get more nervous for these types of game then i do a divisional game

  302. LW3H

    Two things:

    1. Yes, the league should make sure the official clock is available to the broadcasters.

    2. Still, no excuse for Sam and Joe (and arguably the players too) to not know that they weren’t looking at the official clock. Not the first time this has happened, is it?

  303. Carp

    Lev at 9:40, the voice of reason. (sorry, Orr).

    van Massenhoven had as much to do with that call as I did.

  304. JimboWoodside

    LW, Toronto was a much better performing team back then, but not so for Ottawa – we let too many crappy teams off the hook is all I’m saying….

    True, we weren’t that great at the very beginning of the season either, but to lose to Edmonton? Geez!

  305. MickeyM

    HAHAHA, I love Torts ‘are you being serious’ smirk there.

  306. Tiki XLII XLVI

    Trautwig just said they take the clock right off the arena scoreboard. So what’s not official about it?...

  307. Mrs Eminger

    A man with 1 clock knows what time it is.
    A man with 2 clocks is never sure…

    -Confucius

  308. eric

    3-2 columbus i feel it. this clock thing will be a topic tom after linsanity and yanks and mets spring training and golf and whatever else goes on

  309. JimboWoodside

    I agree with that, eric – we are better than last year and years before – but I’d love to see more of a “killer instinct” from our team – a “no quarter given under any circumstances” type of attitude!

  310. Spideraasenski

    Watching MSG on Slingbox, puck went in with 0.1. On FSN Ohio, it was 0.2. Then Toronto must be another tenth ahead of MSG Network. WHAT A JOKE

  311. CCCP

    Carp’s got the official clock! Blame Carp!

  312. oleosmirf

    Trautwig is kinda clueless though plus playing the whole Rangers got screwed card check back for an explanation makes for better ratings…

  313. ORR!! What Is It Good For?!?!

    Hulk Smash

    – The Hulk

  314. ORR!! What Is It Good For?!?!

    Does Troutface think that call is BRUTAL!? BRUTAL!!

  315. MickeyM

    I have an idea, get that goal back.

    DUH.

  316. TheMessiah94

    Because Van Massenhoven is a . I don’t believe him. Toronto probably said it was a good goal and he just lied!!!

  317. oleosmirf

    “Watching MSG on Slingbox, puck went in with 0.1. On FSN Ohio, it was 0.2. Then Toronto must be another tenth ahead of MSG Network.”

    which is EXACTLY why they have an official clock in Toronto since clearly there is a discrepancy…

  318. JimboWoodside

    Sam won’t let it go! I’m surprised at him!

  319. ORR!! What Is It Good For?!?!

    Columbus broadcast – 0.2 seconds

    Rangers broadcast – 0.1 seconds

    Toronto – 0.0 seconds

  320. MickeyM

    Stop saying you are confused, Joe. We get it. Now get over it.

  321. jpg

    just like the moore hits on Feds
    with the extra angle that Shanny showed
    a couple days later

    the NHL should be providing the OFFICIAL
    video to the broadcast.
    just looks incredibly shifty
    and bad for a pro league

  322. Spideraasenski

    They have always said that the “burn-in” on the overhead is the official clock. This is news to me that there is another magical clock in Toronto which is ridiculous. What’s the speed of light and mileage from NY to TOR? Is that the difference between the clocks?

  323. CCCP

    THREE CLOCK AND ONLY ONE IS RIGHT! LMAO!

    Bush-league of a league!

  324. jpg

    Carp
    are you saying that you caused
    the official clock in toronto
    to lose 00.001 seconds?

  325. jpg

    Carp
    i got a bellyful of late dinner
    and a mind full of sarcasm
    hope you enjoyed it a bit.

  326. Tom Foolery

    Whatever this whole official clock/arena clock thing it is, the NHL has to fix it. It is embarrassing.
    You don’t see something like this in other sports.

  327. JimboWoodside

    Well, Toronto is to the east of us, isn’t it? I have to look at a map – maybe they think they’re on maritime time!

  328. MickeyM

    Staal’s getting his game back, little by little by little.

  329. TheMessiah94

    Why is MSG even bothering showing the clock counting down during this period?? It’s not official! For all we know there could be 4 minutes left in this game right now.

  330. eric

    how does columbus network have .2 msg has .1

  331. JimboWoodside

    I think the third period is officially over!! We win, 2-1!!

  332. HageLinMcCalPruBoylahan

    the official clock is with the Ark of the Covenant, the Holy Grail, the recipe for Dr. Pepper, and Mr. ( or Mrs) Right.

  333. Carp

    Messiah, we don’t use that word. Warning No. 1. And it makes less than zero sense.

  334. MickeyM

    LOL, Lin!

  335. Olga Folkyerself

    Maybe their clock is on Daylight Saving Time.

  336. ORR!! What Is It Good For?!?!

    Dublowsky missed that on purpose

  337. eric

    trade dubi

  338. JimboWoodside

    Now Howson won’t take Dubi!

  339. Tom Foolery

    There’s an open net but Dubinsky is involved

  340. Carp

    The period just ended in Toronto.

  341. True Blue Mike

    missed it on purpose doesnt want to increase his trade value! HA!

  342. MickeyM

    Clitsome.

    Snickers

  343. CCCP

    Oh I love Dr. Pepper! Cherry flavore is my favorite!

  344. jpg

    toronto doesn’t use a clock
    they use marchand’s nose as a sun dial

  345. MickeyM

    I propose we move the trade deadline up to tomorrow. To save us all agony and annoyance.

  346. LW3H

    Jimbo

    Just a bit unrealistic to expect any good team, especially one like the Rangers who rarely blow out the opposition, to beat weaker teams every time.

    I’ve lost count of the number of times this season people on here have posted “trap game” or “potential let-down” before a game or assumed a loss during a game, but the Rangers have ended up winning.

    And nice pre Crosby update update from Sam there.

  347. jpg

    Mickey

    i thought that was his name.

    O! M! G!

  348. JimboWoodside

    Yes, Mickey – that’s a name for the ages!!

  349. Latona

    LOL, jpg. That was great.

  350. jpg

    i wonder what cindy is thinking right now
    (and if sam can guess the correct answer)

  351. Tom Foolery

    I hate to be a Negative Nelly but this is starting to feel like a late Columbus goal to tie it and a skills competition loss

  352. DjR

    If Toronto had the official clock, why did the Kings goal count? Shouldn’t the “official” clock not have stopped?

  353. CCCP

    Does anyone know what time it is? Toronto isn’t answering…

  354. ORR!! What Is It Good For?!?!

    Torts’ tie is giving me a headache.

  355. HageLinMcCalPruBoylahan

    LMFAO SUN DIAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!! comedy hall of fame material

    the official clock must be on the equator

  358. JimboWoodside

    I know, LW – I’m just venting my years of frustration here, don’t mind me! ;-D

    No great team can even win them all – but Detroit may just have something to say about that though, if they keep this streak going…

  359. Spideraasenski

    And FSN Ohio states the goal judge’s video feed has real burn-in of game clock. Where is that feed? Where is that clock? Mysteries abound!

  360. JimboWoodside

    I’m always waiting for the other shoe to drop, when it comes to the Rangers having a good record – I still live in fear of a late-season collapse..

  361. ORR!! What Is It Good For?!?!

    Fugg! C’mon, Mithchell!

  362. Tiki XLII XLVI

    So close…

  363. MickeyM

    The official clock is in the Rift in Cardiff, Wales actually. Captain Jack Harkness controls it.

  364. CCCP

    Too fancy…shoot the darn puck!

  365. BANJ

    Toronto is on metric time

  366. JimboWoodside

    On the official video feed, Mitchell just scored!

  367. Carp

    The trade deadline just passed in Toronto.

  368. Tiki XLII XLVI

    I dont believe it. That couldnt just go in…

  369. eric

    can we put this game away. i dont need this aggravation

    It’s still 1967 in Toronto.

  396. Manny

    Alright. I just don’t get how the clock on the ice, the one that the players use for their on-ice playing, is not official. How does Toronto have a more official clock than the one on the ice?

    we have a surgeon down here, Dr Campbell, and he does Colonoscopies. EVERY SINGLE TIME i see a colonoscopy report with his name on it, i laugh at the irony.

    ASSHAT

  404. JimboWoodside

    Sam still isn’t giving up!

  405. Olga Folkyerself

    It took them this long to photoshop a clock with 0:00 on it?

  406. Tom Foolery

    Jimbo, I am trying to be more positive this year because I really like this team. But if you have been a fan of this franchise for any decent length of time, it is very hard not to expect the worst at all times

  407. Mrs Eminger

    took them 20 minutes to doctor that photo

  408. Carp

    Brandon Prust stopped the official clock.

  409. LW3H

    Chances Sather knows what Photoshop is: 0.00%

  410. Carp

    LMAO, photoshop.

  411. JimboWoodside

    >>>Jimbo, but there’s still the breakaway contest after the hockey game ends.

    NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

  412. HageLinMcCalPruBoylahan

    great minds you guys lol

    lmao @ Prust making time stand still

  413. Carp

    I’m crying.

  414. eric

    how does the msg network not have access to that time if the clock is in the building

  415. Olga Folkyerself

    He must be a crack proctologist Linda…

  416. Carp

    I wish Dancing Larry’s clock would expire, here or in Toronto.

  417. JimboWoodside

    Tom, for me, it’s 1967 – a virtual lifetime of misery and reversals of fortune!!

  418. johnnyboy

    Now there is a “secret clock ” in MSG somewhere??

    Even more ridiculous.

  419. HageLinMcCalPruBoylahan

    who made carp cry????

    LMFAO OLGA

  420. JimboWoodside

    The official clock must have seen Malkin’s face!!

  421. HageLinMcCalPruBoylahan

    BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

  428. CCCP

    Prospal’s been pretty quite eh?

  429. HageLinMcCalPruBoylahan

    is the official clock set to the atomic clock? cuz if it’s not, it’s still wrong

  430. Spideraasenski

    I just wish some bodies would score so I could hit the over 5.5.

  431. JimboWoodside

    >>>He must be a crack proctologist Linda…

    There are more lines that can be added to that, but not here…..

  432. CCCP

    Careful! Don’t injure Nash! We need him next week!

  437. JimboWoodside

    OMG! Carter….

  438. Spideraasenski

    Hilarious stuff in here!

  439. SCX

    Did we really trade Fedor Tyutin for Zherdev and Dan Fritsche? Columbus owes us a solid.

  440. MickeyM

    Lundsanity? BARF

  441. JimboWoodside

    Yes! From his seat under the Meadowlands Arena!!

  442. johnnyboy

    In To

  443. Carp

    I think we have a winner with the Malkin comment! Bingo has been called.

  444. Tom Foolery

    Nash has sure been impressive tonight hasn’t he? How many years are left on that contract?

  445. MickeyM

    Ahh, the immortal Dan Fritsche. He was soooooooooooo good.

  446. HageLinMcCalPruBoylahan

    OH SAM PLEASE!!!!!!!!!! what’s worse, the Crosby updates or all his lin references??

  447. JimboWoodside

    Sam is really polishing Dolan’s apple tonight – or his trailer hitch….

  448. TheMessiah94

    Does Sather even have a feed of this game in Banff?

  449. HageLinMcCalPruBoylahan

    jeff carter showed up to collect this game check.. sheesh

  450. MickeyM

    Man, i love Bingo. It’s been ages since I’ve played.

    What was that, Tom?

  453. Carp

    well i guess nash showed
    some of his worth

  462. HageLinMcCalPruBoylahan

    are you carcilloing me?????? unhartnelling believeable

  463. CCCP

    WTF?? Wow…could not script this in any other way! Call Toronto for official time!

  464. Latona

    “79.3 Face-Off Location – When a hand pass violation has occurred, the ensuing face-off shall take place at the nearest face-off spot in the zone where the offense occurred, unless the offending team gains a territorial advantage, then the face-off shall be at the nearest face-ff spot in the zone where the stoppage of play occurred, unless otherwise covered in the rules. When a hand pass violation occurs by a team in their attacking zone, the ensuing face-off shall be conducted at one of the face-off spots outside the defending team’s blue line in the neutral zone.”

    Can anyone explain to me why the face-off was in the Rangers zone?

  465. Lev

    who needs this guy, eh?

  466. JBytes

    It doesn’t matter. Just grab that second point. Get it done!

  467. JimboWoodside

    Red Dutton’s curse lives..

  468. eric

    knew this would happen

  469. ORR!! What Is It Good For?!?!

    Are the fans really chanting “We Don’t Want Nash? Dopes.

  470. Carp

    They were chanting “We don’t want you” when Nash’s goal was announced. Not everybody, but a lot.

  471. johnnyboy

    In Toronto Jeremy Lin is still in Harvard… and just mildly disturbed

  472. Tom Foolery

    My bad. We’ll get them in OT!

  473. JimboWoodside

    Sigh…..

  474. Lev

    Morons. Imbeciles actually. They want Avery though probably.

  475. Carp

    well
    was just joking with jpg’s sister
    that
    if pens game goes to a SO
    it will be Bickel who will win it.

    he may get his chance tonight.

  477. eric

    faceoff are a disaster for this team.

    how ironic nash ties it could see this script now prospal wins it

  478. Olga Folkyerself

    Time ran out in Toronto Latona…. that’s why.

  479. iManny

    Trade Nash!

  480. MickeyM

    Are they booing? WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

  481. JimboWoodside

    Thank you, Malkin’sface…..

  482. Spideraasenski

    Latona – It was touched by a hand in the Rangers zone I think. So it was a correct face-off.

  483. LW3H

    If the people chanting “We don’t want you” are the Avery chanters/Jagr booers, then suddenly I’m 100% behind acquiring Nash.

  484. ORR!! What Is It Good For?!?!

    Exactly what I was thinking, Lev.

  485. Lev

    Steve Nash… LOL Joe…

  486. JimboWoodside

    Or Umberger..or Tyutin….

  487. Latona

    Seriously, though, can anyone tell me why the face-off was in the Rangers zone? If I’m missing something, I’d like clarification. This is the rule:

    “79.3 Face-Off Location – When a hand pass violation has occurred, the ensuing face-off shall take place at the nearest face-off spot in the zone where the offense occurred, unless the offending team gains a territorial advantage, then the face-off shall be at the nearest face-ff spot in the zone where the stoppage of play occurred, unless otherwise covered in the rules. When a hand pass violation occurs by a team in their attacking zone, the ensuing face-off shall be conducted at one of the face-off spots outside the defending team’s blue line in the neutral zone.”

    The Rangers hand pass took place in their defensive end and it was collected in the neutral zone. The stoppage of play occurred in the neutral zone. Why wasn’t the face-off in the neutral zone?

  488. 4everanger

    You can’t make it up…”B” movie scenario. Almost comical.

  489. oleosmirf

    and thats why you trade for Nash because he can score from anywhere at anytime…

  490. Olga Folkyerself

    Ovaltine

  491. MickeyM

    Columbus can keep their Nash. Or shove him where the sun doesn’t sun. Just stay away from the Rangers.

  492. Latona

    Hand passes are allowed in the defensive zone though, aren’t they, Spider?

  493. beuk23

    gotta love new york sports fans! “we don’t want you?” really? freaking awesomeeeeee!

  494. ORR!! What Is It Good For?!?!

  521. Spideraasenski

    You know how we call Theodore “Three-or-more?” I decree Mason shall be known as LMAOson.

  522. Blogmama

    Did Prust just go for MDZ’s del zottos??? Thank heavens that ended as quickly and well as it did. Phew!

  523. CCCP

    Carp’s on fire today! LOL

    Bruins and Celtics lose!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  526. JimboWoodside

    But having said that, as Miami Pimp would say, it’s BUSH-LEAGUE that we had to suffer this much to beat a team that only has 40 points in our home arena!

  527. ilb2001

    Welcome to an 80 point club…

  528. Blogmama

    Somebody hasn’t been keeping Joe M in the loop apparently. Yeesh.

  529. CCCP

    Gaborik with a great pass to MDZ!

  530. JimboWoodside

    head-pats and nub-rubs for everyone!!

  531. ORR!! What Is It Good For?!?!

    Check out that blonde babe in the front row to the right of Hank!

  532. Tiki XLII XLVI

    Yes Mama!!!! Prusticles went for Del Zotto’s Bickels!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  533. True Blue Mike

    Will we ever make these games up on the Red Wings I am sick of being number 2 in the league.

  534. YouveGotGold

    Beuk: Flo-Rida I Get a Good Feeling

  535. eric

    trade call in 20 mins

    dubi kreider mdz for nash. sather loses his mind

  536. tomg

    ok, I see Nash got his goal, makes some ranger fans want him. According to the blue jackets beat writer you want to give up Delzotto and Kreider because that is some of the players Howson wants in the trade.

  537. HageLinMcCalPruBoylahan

    was that 22 seconds official?

  538. beuk23

    agreed Jimbo- if we wanna call ourselves an elite team this game should have been over the first twenty minutes. you have to beat a time like this 5-0.

  539. ORR!! What Is It Good For?!?!

    True Blue, let them finish in first. When was the last time a first place team has won the Cup? Prust sayin’!

  540. JimboWoodside

    Whew…..I’m exhausted – it’s like I was playing….

  541. True Blue Mike

    No you don’t beuk23. You just have to win. No matter how… I thought that was pretty obvious?

  542. Grabby

    yes!! we win!!1 without nash!!!!!!!!!!! go rangers!

  543. Tiki XLII XLVI

    beuk, sorry, but you cant expect an elite team to take a dump on every lower echelon team. Hockey doesnt work that way.

  544. eric

    the rangers will NEVER BEAT ANYONE 5-0

    THEY MAKE US SUFFER. THE PLAYOFF RIDE WILL BE NOTHING BUT AGGRAVATION

  545. ORR!! What Is It Good For?!?!

    NYR not destroying a team like the Jackets doesn’t mean anything. The top teams in the league all struggle against lower teams from time to time. Look at the Bruins today, shutout by the Wild. It happens.

  546. MickeyM

    81 points. Goddamn this team is impressive.

  547. stuart a

    mdz was the first star for sure.

    after emminger went down he did not play any more shifts.

    yep, trade MDZ. 21 year old stud d men grow on trees…. He loves the diagonal pass down low… 3 times in a week.

  551. JimboWoodside

    Yes, Beuk – that’s how I feel…..habs of the 50’s, 60’s & 70’s killed their inferior opponents..and I hate to say it, but the Isles of the early 80’s did the same thing – no quarter asked for – or given!

  552. True Blue Mike

    Good point, Orr.

  553. Tiki XLII XLVI

    LGNY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  554. stuart a

    stepan is great on the boards and he wins a ton of 1 on 1 battles for a smallish guy.

    he is only 21, maybe they should trade him along with MDZ, kredier and a 1st for Nash.

    If that is not enough maybe they can add some more pieces to the trade!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Insane…Rental. Rangers should get a rental forward with some skill and that is it….....

  555. HageLinMcCalPruBoylahan

    hmm my fb just got suspended wtf

  556. ORR!! What Is It Good For?!?!

    NEWSFLASH!! RED HERRING…......

  557. True Blue Mike

    Jimbo, this is post lockout hockey, that doesn’t happen anymore.

  558. Latona

    Anyone think the non-goal could be a make-up call for the Columbus-LA incident?

  559. ORR!! What Is It Good For?!?!

    Lin, you pissed off Toronto maybe?

  560. Spideraasenski

    beuk23 – It’s Good Feeling by Flo Rida. Apparently, the Blackhawks play that in their locker room after a win. Thursday must have been awkward.

  561. JimboWoodside

    Flyers of the mid-70’s – they beat every team in any way they wanted to play…Edmonton was the same way..

    THAT’S the kind of team I want!

  562. Spideraasenski

    Is that a new Broadway Hat? Looks bigger and cleaner.

  563. Blogmama

    OMG, Steppers in that hat just made me pee my pants.

  564. JimboWoodside

    >>>Jimbo, this is post lockout hockey, that doesn’t happen anymore.

    I understand that – but that doesn’t mean that you don’t strive to be that kind of a team – look at Detroit – consistently good…year in, year out, they’re competitive, and occasionally dominating.

  565. Blogmama

    And that’s all for me tonight….sorry I missed the laughs, but I am bush leagued. Niters and ta all!!!

  566. Spideraasenski

    Linda – The NHL must not have liked that Flavor Flav post. They shut down your FB. GOVERNMENT!

  567. ORR!! What Is It Good For?!?!

    Isles played that song after their last win. NYR needs to dump it. The last two or three years, they’ve played crappy songs after their wins.

  568. JimboWoodside

    >>>It’s Good Feeling by Flo Rida

    That’s not the song that Amstel or some other Dutch beer company was using a few years ago, was it?

  569. jpg

    agree that an elite team should beat up
    on an inferior one
    but
    we’re also dealing with
    an nhl that encourages parity

  570. JimboWoodside

    Goodnight, Mama – and it wasn’t all laughs!

  571. True Blue Mike

    I agree on that we want to strive to be like that Jimbo but even the Red Wings aren’t destroying teams by large margins on most nights. The NHL is much more balanced now

  572. HageLinMcCalPruBoylahan

    spider that’s exactly when it got suspended!!

  573. Spideraasenski

    Tiki – Get over it. A Boston loss ? a New York win. The Sabres and Devils won though, if you wanna count those.

  574. ilb2001

    I don’t think the win in OT over the worst team in the league means anything one way or another. They made Columbus look exactly what they are. The worst team in the league. The difference is, a couple of years ago they would’ve lost it in overtime even if they played the same way.

  575. Lloyd Braun

    three utter jokes this evening:

    1) that nonsense with the clock in which the NHL was able to just make up a reason why the goal shouldn’t count

    2) Rangers not blowing this team out

    3) Ryan Callahan being named the first star

  576. oleosmirf

    I still don’t like the prevent defense. Great players find a way to score if you give them the chance regardless of how great Henrik is.

  577. Lloyd Braun

    Hank was ok tonight – made one or two good saves but that was about it. Mason, who’s had a terrible year, probably outplayed Lundqvist tonight.

    and that Nash goal was soft.

  578. JimboWoodside

    I know – I just want a dominating team – it may not be realistic, but a guy can dream, can’t he!?

  579. jpg

    Cally looked a little embarassed out there
    as number one star.

    he had a good game but should have
    been MDZ if they weren’t going to give it
    to Artie or Step

  580. JimboWoodside

    Hahahaha!!!! Maloney said he thinks the clock was the grassy knoll! He’s a nutjob!!

  581. JimboWoodside

    But I think he’s great!

  582. DJK

    Flo Rida “Good Feeling” is a great song and should be played after wins

  583. Lloyd Braun

    DJK:

    Maybe if the Rangers became a street basketball team

  584. HageLinCalPruBoylahan

    MDZ deserved a star

    I’m so furious with FB right now! Hell if you’re gonna give us words to type, at least make them somewhat readable! hartnellers

  585. Spideraasenski

    Lindy-sanity! http://twitpic.com/8m9b58

  586. JimboWoodside

    Lin, what did you do to deserve suspension!?

  587. DJK

    Lloyd: what should they play, then?

    Good Feeling is like the equivalent of Get Ready for This or all those 90’s Jock Jam style songs.

  588. ORR!! What Is It Good For?!?!

    Isn’t “Good Feeling” a rap song? Rap and Hockey go together like a razor and a mental patient.

  589. DJK

    How MDZ was not given 1st star is beyond me.

  590. Spideraasenski

    Jimbo – Right before he said that, I said it looked like the Zapruder film!

  591. ORR!! What Is It Good For?!?!

    LOL! Stan Fischler opens with the moronic questions. As always!

  592. Spideraasenski

    “There’s six damn clocks.…With all this HD crap, something happens with the clocks, but they made the right call.”

  593. Mister D

    “Did Prust just go for MDZ’s del zottos???”

    I took a quick iphone video of this and have watched it way too many times. You can tell (1) MDZ has been tapped by Prust dozens of times and (2) he immediately knows Prust was never actually going to tap him that time. I wish I could post it here, its spectacular.

  594. eric

    i cant believe they cut a post game show short to show transformation on time at 1100

  595. ilb2001

    They are trying to hide MDZ from Howson, DJK…:-)

  596. JimboWoodside

    Do you have a hotline to Maloney’s head, Spider!? That’s scary!

  597. Lloyd Braun

    I’m not sure if it’s possible for a reporter not to ask a stupid question after a game. I’m not a fan of Tortorella’s approach, but how many times can you answer, “How’d the team do tonight?” before you’d want to vomit.

  598. Spideraasenski

    They were standing on the logo! (in the MSG special)

  599. oleosmirf

    so a one hour special telling us how construction workers are honored to work on the renovation and how it will stick with them forever…

  600. Spideraasenski

    Hey, Maloney is a good one to be thinking the same as! Not like Hairwig or Joe Mich.

  601. Lev

    MSG’s postgame coverage of the Rangers is pathetic compared to what they do with the Knicks… heck they interview Jared Jeffries…

  602. ORR!! What Is It Good For?!?!

    You can tell Torts is instantly annoyed once Fiscler opens his mouth. He knows he’s gonna have to answer a stupid question.

  603. JimboWoodside

    It could be worse, eric – and it probably will be! I’m surprised it’s not a LIN-sanity special show…

  604. Spideraasenski

    They didn’t cut the post game short unless I am still behind on my DVR. Special started at 11:01. Game ended at about 9:31, so they got their 30 minutes.

  605. Tiki XLII XLVI

    Spider, huh? You make no sense.

  606. Hedberg

    MDZ first star, step on second, Cally third. Carp

  607. JimboWoodside

    >>>so a one hour special telling us how construction workers are honored to work on the renovation and how it will stick with them forever…

    You would see how honored they would be if they weren’t making NYC Union Scale….

  608. HageLinCalPruBoylahan

    spider, great pic lol

    Jimbo,i put up a pic of flava flav with his clock… then my account got suspended and with their ridiculous ‘type these words in ’ bs, i’m typing words exactly as they look and they are telling me they are wrong, so i try again, and you can barely read this shizzy

  609. DJK

    I wonder if MDZ will get Norris votes.

  610. HageLinCalPruBoylahan

    ha. restarted the computer, and boom, it’s back!!

  611. Lloyd Braun

    so they do that stars of the game voting like halfway through the third, right

    Oh! One of those “Captcha” thingies!? I hate those! Why would Flavor Flav make them do that, I wonder!?

  613. JimboWoodside

    Ill never understand. Who gives a carcillo who gets the stars. We won the game. We won the game.

    >>>>>>so a one hour special telling us how construction workers are honored to work on the renovation and how it will stick with them forever…

    Ask them to relax some ridiculous union rules, and see them tear the building down to the foundation – honored, indeed.

    LIN, do you remember the name of that MSG documentary within the last calendar year about the 94 Rangers? I lost it off one of my DVRs because Im a lazy turd and I dont think Ill ever be able to get it again.

    The outburst of negativity around 9:30 in this thread by two of
    the Positive Petunia squad was disheartening.

    Almost as much as Ricky C’s use of his Fog Machine regarding
    the acquisition of the NHL’s Minus leader….

    callahan played fine but he wa snot 1 of the 3 stars of the game.

    drunk writers probably vote on it.

    mdz, aa, and stepan….

    81 points and no elite scorers and a bad PP, how do the ydo it? Great defense, great goalie, and there forecheck…..

  621. JimboWoodside

    Meganega, are you meshugga?

    jimbo:

    yeah, you’re right. probably best to just to bring in some illegals off the back of a pick-up truck.

  623. meganegatron

    Ricky N. is now producing a goal for approximately every
    $275,000 dollars.

    Get him Uncle Glen!!!!!!

  624. ORR!! What Is It Good For?!?!

    Rangers are ready for prime time, but are they ready to win the Cup? Red Herring!

  625. JimboWoodside

    Yes Lloyd – and the Union’s leaders agree with you! They have nothing to say about illegals taking jobs from union men!

  626. jpg's sister

    I agree stuart a MDZ should have been one of the stars. Wasn’t he double shifted? Because of him, got OT win, I think
