Game 58.
Ya boys on a one-game winning streak, 5-1 in their last six, 9-2-1 in their last 12, 21-6-1 in their last 28.
They are 2-1 against the Ice Birds, losing 4-1 at MSG on Jan. 19.
The Penguins—minus Sidney Crosby (update coming soon, no doubt)—have lost two of three. Their piece of clarke Matt Cooke skated this morning, though he’s nursing some sort of injury, the pile of carcillo. Brooks Orpik is out.
Ruslan Fedotenko is a game-time decision for the Rangers. Otherwise, either Stu Bickel or Wojtek Wolski will play, and the other will likely be prucha’d with Jeff Woywitka.
Henrik Lundqvist in goal. Did you know the Staals are related?

so your saying Marc and Jordan are cousins??? wow i never even knew that
Let’s Go Rangers!!
O OGGOG GOG GOOGLE OG
I made it! Wasn’t sure…Been busy at work these days, so I haven’t been able to catch with every single entry. Probably a good thing, from what I was able to read. I can’t even tell who wants Nash and who doesn’t anymore. The good news- we can say what we want, it won’t be our decision. But I do have full confidence that the team will do what’s right. Took years to say it, but now I can.
I also know there are 2 points to take home. LGR!!
do you see the Rangers starting Eminger on D and Bickel on wing relating to trade possibilities?
ILBZO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LINDZO!!!!. I owe you a FB message. Some good news, girl!
woo hooo! I love good news!! especially when the bad news from the other day is still an issue!!
Evenin’ heads…been a while.
LGR!!!!!!!

Games vs the pen()s are always nerve wracking, hopefully the boys are ready to kick some ass
That would be great, Lin! A true professional flavor!
Gotta stiffen up here!!
should come with little waffleboard chips and a pitchfork and knife to help you eat it lol
If WW isn’t gonna play, why don’t they just Redden him?
Wow! NYR won five straight games in Pissburgh. They used to struggle there.
Sorry, Linda
just keep praying! Part of the bad news will be over and done with in about 51 and a half hours
Thanks for the welcome back…awesome to have some serious hockey talk going on
Duguay with prison pajamas. MSG special
YAAAAAAAAAAY! SALTY’s back!! hopefully for good!
Yes Linda – sent the GF out to dinner with her ladies!
Maybe Slats can trade Wolski. I mean, he traded EC, for fuggs sake! Never know! Trade him for Not-Wellman!
LiNBA? :)
Headzo, did ya give her cash!? If so, you’re good for at least 3 games!
LGR!!!!
Serious hockey talk? Can we still do Tyler Kennedy jokes?
Joe Mich looks so creepy when he stares at Sam while he’s talking
EEK! Gotta put the laundry in the dryer!
Let’s go boys!
Yipee!! Pittsburgh announcers and feed.
LOL Lin – GF out WITHOUT my credit card, MSG back on Slime-Warner cable, no chores – life is good!
Jimbo “Lets clear the deck and get focused!”
woo hoo headzo!! just get her some flowers for the friday and saturday night games lol
Crosby update
Good Lord, Malkin is a MONSTER…
ugh my heart aches for you guys stuck with the pitts feed
Malkinstein
Boomboombathgate:
I couldn’t disagree with you more.
If you take Wolski’s contract off the books and swap out Brandon Dubinsky then the Rangers aren’t “crippled” cap-wise at all if they acquire Nash. Yes they have some big contracts that need re-upping 2-3 years from now but you worry about that later.
Who said that the teams in the west would “roll over” because the Rangers went out to get a LW scoring, hitting grinder (which they dearly need)? Pardon my french but you’re an idiot!
Dubiii….’atta boy
Did you guys know that Tyler Kennedy’s given name is Oscar Meyer?
LET’S GO RANGERS!!!
Come on boys – score first!!!
manbearpig
frankenmalkinstein
leorangetang
Quiet crowd
Staal brothers mention. DRINK!
holy cow, you could hear a pen()s drop
Penalty – #48 Black – 2 minute minor penalty for oinking….
Wow and all this time I thought Staal was an only child…
These two Staal guys are related?
At work, so LGR and LGD!!!!
Staals update
the staal brothers are NOT attractive lol
Linda – I may send her out of state!!
Mark Stawl has a Step-brother?
Pig Nose…...the opposite of Marchand
lmao ‘oinking’
Anyone know where I can get a live stream online?
How long till we get our first Crosby update?
tyler kennedy, penalty against humanity
STAALS ARE BROTHERS.
LMAO Lin!!!
Oh boy!
The Pittsburgh Penguins= the team that got hit with the ugly stick a whole lot
Egads!
FIRE SATHER! That will stop all the arguments…
Is the money Marc Staal makes called ginger-bread??
Ok, sorry…had to say it!
Back to work
FIRE SATHER {{{{{OKGA}}}}}
haaaaaa ginger bread
Could someone explain to me why it’s so hard that Marc Staal has to make an adjustment to play fewer minutes than normal?
What if MSG combined all of their favorite updates? Sidney Crosby has three brothers who are figure skaters!
he’s a trickster
Stiffqvist is in net for NYR.
FIRE SATHER {{{{{LINKA}}}}}
nicely done spider!!
Is that like the Sedin twins? Ginger beard.
DRINK!
Spider, do Crosby’s figure skating brothers play on original six teams?
you can pay by the game at hockeystreams but its not HD today
ooooh olga made me Russian!
{{{LINDA}}}
Thanks guys
LMAO @ Wicky!
tomb, do you have pen()s feed?
wow, jordan staal is frightening!
NYR need ti wake up
time for a time out me thinks…
I am wide awake ;) Rangers need to stiffen up here…
Me no likey how this is going so far
The penguins are so ugly, when they shower the water treatment plant skims ugly for three days…
Where’s Crosby?
>>>STAALS ARE BROTHERS
They look pretty white to me! ;-)
lmfao Billy!!
skimmin ugly, dippin skinny
What number is Nash? I didn’t see him yet….
If you put lipstick on a pig, it’s still Tyler Kennedy.
Not sure I heard correctly about why Tyler Kennedy wasn’t playing tonight. Was it out injured or snout injured?
Olga…#17
MCMONSTER!! wow, he’s gonna sleep well tonight
Did someone say “Fugg off”?
bwahahahah Staalsie!
holy crap Orr, i just heard it! He absolutely did
something like that Orr…Mitchell was not happy he lost the puck out of the zone there lol
Memo to Salty:
Hey, if the short-term patching/”quick fix” crowd is the “in crowd,” here, please stay with them and continue to “laugh” at patient, prudent people who don’t buy high and sell low – or is stock market terminolgy too convoluted for you to understand, same as the tenets of human and poker psychology, and Game Theory seem to have completely passed you by? (And thanks for putting down your comic book to take the time to read this.)
Kennedy out with swine flu
This is not looking pretty so far
Waaaaaaahhhh bit.ly/wx4r6P
LMFAO LW!
http://bit.ly/wx4r6P arrrrrrrrrrrrrgh, waaaaaaaah…
ORR – Only if they’re sponsored by Chase.
3:32 shift for McDonut. WOW!
3:30 shift?? MY GOD
I thought if you put lipstick on a pig you got “Lady Gaga.”
lol Fla!!!!!!
Penguins are considered the “dirtiest” team in the league.
How much of that is attributed to #48 rolling around in carcillo all day before he takes the ice?
3:30 min shift brakes the record for anyone who wore #27 for NYR
Struggling early against a Pens team without Kennedy is a
porcinepoor sign.According to Hockeyfights.com
Craig Adams is 0 -58 in career fights
Thats stunning ilb…I remember a #27 who would dipsy doodle through 3 players only to turn around and dipsy doodle through those same 3 players again!
porcine! that’s great
I think Ted Irvine once killed off a 4:00 penalty
I hate that stock market mentality when talking about players.
“prudent people who don’t buy high and sell low”
Wouldn’t you want to acquire the high value players and get rid of low value players?
For those with Pittsburgh video feed, you can get the Rangers audio feed to go with it by Googling: NHL Radio, and just click on NY Rangers. Kenny Albert and Dave Maloney, of course.
Check out the creep behind Bylsma
His shift was only 2:40, Staal. Classic
So, Boom Boom is always like this? Or am I getting special treatment here? LOL
wow, Artie must be working out lol
Salty, are you still on the FB group?
Mike Ruppsky?
Mitchell… tsk, tsk.
Soooooooooooo close
oh great, a power play.
Greatest PP in the NHL, set to go!
bad move principal lovejoy!
Jets up 1-0 against Flyers!
lmao, nap time
its time for the vaunted NYR powerplay
Let’s Go Del Z! Let’s Go Edchards!
Flyers tie it up! Ugh!
Crosby sighting!
UPDATE!!!!!!!!!!
GO GO GO MR EDCHARDS!
CROSBY UPDATE
Bing beat his kids….
Another Crosby update
Should have known better than to pass to Dublowsky.
Oy!
Ohhhhh Wil-burrrrrrr.
theres Sidney. my night is complete.
Gabby is glidding like Ovie… taken a vacation day.
Rick Nash scored! Weeee!
Oh wait, too soon!
In the words of one Doctor Victor von Doom:
RIIIIIIIIIiiIiiIIiiICHAAAAAARDS!!
I LIVE TO SEE YOU EAT THAT CONTRACT!!!!!!!
The PP has officially hit clusterbyfuglien status
Rangers out-shot while on the power-play. Bush-League.
This arena is always so dreary and glum looking.
Neal’s a little girl. He keeps shoving everyone and skating away.
Mickey the pp is passing through the earths core and will come at at the south pole by april lol
I don’t know if I’m on the facebook group…I definitely turned off the notifications at some point!
I left a message for you there, but I don’t think i see you on the members list :-(
Pensys announcers giving the Rangers a lot of credit
Something tells me this should change after a few goals and some flops to the ice w/ noncalls
Can’t believe the score is 0-0. Stiffqvist was great!
LOL, Linda.
Yeah we probably need Nash. Time to pony up IMO.
Hi Olga,
The buy low-sell high, vs. buy high- sell low terminolgy simply refers to the value you are exchanging for the value you are getting. Yes, you can obtain a world class forward, but if you pay too much to do that you are buying high – at the top of the market, so to speak.
This is the crux of all the rational and contentious Nash dialogue here. In fact, we ALL want Nash, but some of us perceive that the cost will outweigh the gain. Others want to go for it all this year at the considerable risk of future fall-out, which is almost certain. While the dialogue can get personal and nasty, at times, there really is no right or wrong, it has more to do with personal philosophy and psychological outlook on life, transferred to a discussion about hockey.
Conservatives vs. high-roller/bet the ranch types, you could say. We all have a choice as to which camp we identify with. Seems like just about a 50-50 split, here. One thing we know, the “I told you so” crowd will surface here – after the fact – when the final results are in.
I am not going to root against the Rangers to win the Cup just to be “right” as regards this web site discussion. No way in hell I would do that. Just saying I would rather see the team go for multiple Cups, starting next year, than mortgage the future for a one-shot, this year, which is what I see the Rangers restricting themselves to, if Slats swings this trade. Winning two or three Cups is still better than winning One Cup, where I come from.
Chicago-Detroit on NBCSP at 8:00
lucky to be out of first period alive. just hideous hockey all around
Can Cliffside Malibu help me with my unhealthy addiction to the Rangers?
whoa, i actually have the intermission report!!
Score?
One things for sure, Sather will screw it up no matter what he does.
Unless the Rangers win the Cup.
Let the buyer (Slats) beware…
Will be parked in front of the TV shortly.
not a good period but 0-0 so whatever
nice behind the back pass by Richards in his own endzone btw. dude needs to stop thinking with his teeth.
That’s a long post for the middle of a game.
Well, Boom Boom, we can’t win two or three Cups until we win the first one. I would concentrate on that one. As long as the price is not TOO high.
“I would rather see the team go for multiple Cups, starting next year”
lol
you don’t do that in the NHL, dude. you play to win.
Kreider + 1st rounder + Dubinsky is hardly mortgaging the future. If they want more that’s a different story.
Time to regroup. Glad to get out of that 0-0
“Well, Boom Boom, we can’t win two or three Cups until we win the first one. I would concentrate on that one. As long as the price is not TOO high.”
Exactly. Boomboom is acting like we are building a football dynasty franchise. In the NHL it just doesn’t work that way.
some guy commented on a story that Ryan Callahan is the most overrated player in the NHL!
wow, just wow
we would be in major trouble in a seven game series for pens. they scare me more then anyone else in east
that’s all well and good but I don’t think Nash gets you any closer to a Stanley Cup than you are without him.
Pidto is a clown. Last night’s Capitals game was on the road in RBC Center, not the Verizon Center.
Knickerbocker update
And they’re not even playing tonight…
Linda – That’s like the Daily News polls where they ask if you want to keep or dump a player and there’s not a 100% for keep on Eli Manning or Ryan Callahan.
Jeremy Lin update
“that’s all well and good but I don’t think Nash gets you any closer to a Stanley Cup than you are without him.”
Really? The Rangers couldn’t use a scoring left winger? LOL
Horrible first period. How many games has the king kept this team in this year until they finally wake up?
By the way, just wanted to let everyone know that Jordan and Marc Staal are brothers. Also, Sydney Crosby is injured and still not able to play because of a concussion. The Staal family has four brothers who play in the NHL. And they are from a small farm in Canada.
All in all, though, I would like to see Kreider play in NY before we trade him away.
LINZO!!
What the hell is Duguay wearing?
“If it’s not been broken, don’t change it.”
Duguay reading from the JR book of proverbs.
I’d like MSG to shoot a special of Du-Gay and Torts going clothes shopping. Should be entertaining.
Tilapia with homemade spaghetti sauce! Yum!
I agree Olga…
I’ll pass on breaking up this team for Hash.
Although Ranger fans DO routinely over-rate their teams prospects…
Syl Apps Jr.? LOL!
Duguay can read, LW?
Requesting a better period, pls
TIKIZO!!
What the fugg?
Or not.
FUGLY
Goddammit! Where the hell did he come from!?
Can’t give that to Malikn
“This is the crux of all the rational and contentious Nash dialogue here. In fact, we ALL want Nash, but some of us perceive that the cost will outweigh the gain.

Pretty good post even though you still include your own spin on it. Agreed that we all want him and it’s not an easy decision. There are pros and cons to both sides, and neither is a guarantee.
1-0 Pens
Best player in the league. No shame in that.
The Beast came out of nowhere…...
Shouldn’t they be watching that Malkin fella?
how the hell do you turn it over del zaster with malkin looming
noonan:
they sure do, just not one who’s a defensive liability and is basically scripted to not gel with this team
If Nash was a Ranger, that goal probably wouldn’t have happened!! I think…
when you have two guys make braindead plays within moments of each other, there’s plenty of shame there – I don’t care who scored.
We gotta suck that one up and move on, he’s always due for one.
17 is not Nash! That’s Dubinsky!!!!
HageLinMcCalPruBoylahan…I’m off the group…message is nothing too important is it?
nope Salty, not too important! glad to see you back here though
the rangers have no answer the malkin line tonight and come april they wont as well. so damn frustrating
No No Olga…close your eyes…its Nash…really
wow steve buscemi is at the game and sitting behind the pen()s bench
hit the net gabby
NYR PP looks just like my PP in NHL12
No! Look at it. The back of his jersey distinctly says “Dubinsky”
eric, not many many teams have an answer for the malkin line
Richards should have led with his teeth there
Nice play by AA, even nicer save by Fleury
How was that a beautiful save? He shot it into his fuggin glove!
Bah!
shot straight into his glove and Fleury jerked his arm clear across his body
whatever
holy crap that was a sick save,,,,,YOU BASTARD
Unbelievable save? My aasen. If he had just stayed in his butterfly and pushed off to the right it would have landed right in his chest. Typical Fleury.
To the left, pardon me.
Control yourself, Sam! Anisimov shot the puck right into Fleury’s glove.
ah he embellished the save ? lol
Olga your keeping your eyes open…
Good luck my butt!! Sam is at it again…
Sham orgasmically and exaggeratedly another opponent’s save
doug weight
Martin Brodeur has built a career on making routine saves look unbelievable
Sorry guys if Hank had made the same save, you’d all be saying how great it was.
Maybe it’s the only way Sam can get off these days.
mickey
if we want to get to where all dream of the cup we better find an answer for malkin
Hank wouldn’t have flopped around like that, Staal.
Well if it was Nash wouldn’t it say “Cup Fer Sure” on it?
you sure I’d be saying that, Staal?
No, we don’t, Sam!
now comes the change the slacks crosby conversation for sam and joe
Boring game..
Haha thanks…I’m sure I’ll be poking around through the deadline and hopefully for the playoffs!
It’s cool how Crosby goes out indefinitely and there’s a big time goal scorer there to fill the gap. It would be nice to have that kind of security in NY.
Broadway Brad is having a rough game, huh?
Lin, I think Sham needs to change his slacks after exploding over the Fleury save :)
Bad news: The Pens’ third line has to get by without Kennedy tonight
Good news: Somebody has had time to lay on some truffles for the team’s post-game meal
Orr,the crowd is so freakin dead… it sounds like there’s about 50 people there most of the time
God dammit!
Argh! Post..
Question RE: Nash
Once a player waives his no trade clause and is traded to another team, does the no trade carry over to the next team?
Richards is having the kind of game that will result in a benching
Dave Maloney just said there are birds flying around in the arena? lol.
Carcillo on Crosby! clap-clap clap clap clap!
friggin post
Did McDonagh hit the post there? Or was that the puck?
how is checking a penalty…lame…
Sheesh…
i didnt see a penalty
Salty, No. The no trade clause no longer exists.
Lloyd, i’d be surprised if Torts benched his boy
Horrible call
Yes, this game is why Sather will overpay for Nash.
and game over
Fuggers
can’t take human error out of the game…....ref is staring right at the play and he still gets it wrong
Ow…...this is turning out to be a bad night…
blaaaaaaaaaaaaah
game over season over
devs and flyers winning as well
We’re halfway through the game. Havent any of you learned that the Rangers arent out of it?
Game is more than half over and we only have like 9 shots on goal? WTB?
Hall & OatesHorse Teeth & Butt Chin back together!Rangers have stuck it out in a lot of games, but they look bad here.
Abandon Ship! Women and children first…
ANOTHER one!?
If it takes Kreider 5 more years to get good, Hank may be done. Prust sayin’.
Pens have dominated all night. I don’t see that changing any time soon.
What are we? In Montreal?
Tiki:
How much would you like to bet that the Rangers lose this game?
WOOOO!!! LET’S GO PENS!!!!
what? we have no hookers on our team
The Montreal of the US Jimbo
Being outworked so far…...not much of a forecheck….only 3 shots for the period. WAKE UP!
Yup. Nothing to see here. Another uninspired effort against an opponent with top notch talent totally outplaying us. Move along.
HERE COMES NASH!
Stamkos scoring all the goals for Tampa. Has another two tonight.
Dubinsky as a center piece in the deal for Nash? Is Scott Howson dumb, deaf, or blind?
Lloyd, Belief can be a powerful thing. Id be willing to bet we win tonight. $20 via money order?
Wow…2 clunkers in the past 3…not a good time for a slump.
Ooops…I was just negative! YIKES!
Dubi, Kreider, and a 1st rounder.
You are correct, Lin. League treats them like the Habs on HNIC..
BTW, imagine this Penguin team with a healthy Crosby.
How the hell did they get Neal and 1) Dallas traded him and 2) on a team with lots of offensive firepower, they got him?
how nice of sam and joe to just realize stralman went to the box
officials look the other way on a blatant trip to make up for calling a penalty on a non-trip
First and second in the league in shots are Malkin and Neal (might be the other way around). Third is Nash.
It’s games like this where someone like Nash would be oh so awesome.
Jim: if Crosby were healthy we would not be on top of the conference by 9 points.
That turned out to be a horrible deal. Neal and Niskanen for Goligoski and some other guy.
OK, Sam – we get it…we get it.
Sam and Joe are so busy drooling over the Pittsburgh Penguins, they are missing all kinds of stuff.
Shameful….
Detroit up 1-0 over Hawks.
jpg is so upset he is eating baklava. He said he would bust a blood vessel
leafs tie it at 2 vs devs
Jim, they are definitely not paying attention to what’s going on , that’s for sure.
Ease up on the diarrhea from the mouth and talk about the game!
Refs forgot to send Stralman to the box haha. Thanks Asham for negating a power play. Why wasn’t it 4 on 4 though?
Hey Sam the shill Rosen. How about the earlier shift when Boyle was tripped at the Pens blue lone? Was that a trip?
There’s a guy named Staal on the Pens? Is he related to that actor, Nick?
How about Richards for Nash straight up…..just sayin.
DJK: Touche! If Crosby comes back for the POs and stays healthy, they gotta be deemed the favourite not only to win the east, but the cup.
How flippin’ annoying….
Shoot the fuggin puck Step-On!
why did you pass that?
Now, you’re talking, FlaR.
OK, nice – put a few shots on this guy for goodness sakes…
Is Uncle Daddy playing for the Pens? SHESSH
is it true they are missing passes to each other or are pens breaking them up?
Stepan had nothing on that shot
Fla, that makes some sense lol
Rangers are missing passes all over the place. They’re playing like crap.
Lol, jpg’s sister.
Not a very good effort tonight – not sure why.
FOUR MILLION! lol
Can Dublowsky do us a favor and score a couple of goals? If only to impress the Jackets scouts?
I swear to God – Sam is in love with the Penguins tonight…
Jimbo:
It’s a let down from the massive lift they anticipated in getting Fedotenko back, obviously
Hmm…. if only we had a Hobbit who could pass!
The team looks “miscombobulated”
Craig Patrick, senior advisor of hockey operations of Columbus, is at the game. Prust sayin’.
Ugly…
We know, Machetto. Sam and Joe have let us know about 65 times.
ORR, he’s dropping in value as he second passes and he doesn’t score…
If the Penguins could somehow combine Fleury’s teeth, Kennedy’s snout and Malkin’s second forehead, they’d almost have a kind of talented Jody Shelley.
as the seconds pass*
Hit the net
2-0 looking good after 2!
Patrick is saying “I wouldn’t trade Nash for any of these cruds” after that period….
“a good final shift’ that’s very sad
Goals 2 – Chemistry 0
Question: Would Nash have made a difference in the game so far?
The players CBJ really wants aint in the lineup for us now anyways, Craig P. is merely gauging our desperation to deal em.
Would like to see Staal on the point for PP’s with MDZ…seen enough of Richards there..put him up front..just sayin.
BUSH-LEAGUE
miami, this might qualify as tumbleweed-league
“Might”?
There is no more ”$500” on Jeopardy! Oh, Pidto.
DJK, actually, the players they really want ARE in the lineup, they’re just not for sale (McDonagh and Del Zotto
horrible game so far by the blueshirts accept for the last 90 seconds.
first goal horrible work by MDZ and straqlman. MDZ just gave up the puck for no reason and both were in deep.
no takeaways in the first period for the rangers. did they forecheck at all for about 35 minutes of the game?
first PP was horrible. when the rangers do not forecheck and hit the do not have enough talent to beat skilled teams…
This is Miami-Intenational-Airport -league
Malkin > Ovechkin?
CROSBY UPDATE
Butterfly lands on Crosby’s head. Another concussion setback…
I hate Pidto.
SCX: Malkin was ALWAYS better than Ovechkin. Who has a Stanley Cup? Who doesn’t?
lmao MIA-league
And just think. The pens don’t have Crosby and Orpik. This could be a lot worse
The difference in offensive flow and aggressiveness between the two teams is pretty wide…lack of goal scoring will eventually kill the team in the playoffs.
prust loves to turn the puck over in the neutral zone. how many times does he go backhand cross ice on a silly pass and it gets intercepted? a ton.
really not much good to tal about tonight, the effort or results have been bad. Lucky the rangers picked it up the last 90 seconds so may may reach 20 SOG tonight. Pittsburgh’s weakness is fleury handling the puck and there d men doing the same deep in therezone so the rangers do not dump the puck or forecheck at all.
rosen saying orpik is there best d man, he must be drunk. 58 is by far there best d man and the rangers need to hit letang again and again…....
Whoever volunteered to do a write tomorrow is going to have fun…
I bet Sather ponies up for Nash after this one for sure.
i am just seeing this for the first time but ,is Duguaywearing a suit made from a comforter
Dugay is wearing a tablecloth
Lets see what they have left in the third
yep if sather made a trade based on this game he is as stupid as the posters saying that.
bickell with less teh n3 minutes for the game, again why is he in the lineup?
if they are not playing the filthys or the bruins why is Bickel playing forward….No idea and stupid move…....
“If the Penguins could somehow combine Fleury’s teeth, Kennedy’s snout and Malkin’s second forehead, they’d almost have a kind of talented Jody Shelley.”
Ha! It’s like a totally weird LW3H mister potato head game… or would it be called something else, most likely more clever than that?
I’ve always said Malkin’s better than Crosby btw… wait until their career stats come in. I think it will be night and day (I didn’t just start saying this since the head issues, by the way…)
20 minutes of work can steal this game.
Penalty on Nash
Do something useful, Dublowsky!
iDoodie, I wish Slats would have just listened your idea and signed Stammer to that offer sheet!! NO way Tampa could have matched!! They traded Downie because they cant sign him…
Ref’s 2
Rangers 0
How many shots of Bylsma standing there with his arms folded do we need to see?
That’s right Olga! Now you see it!!!
Stuart: obviously the trade wouldn’t be based on this one game, but on the overall situation.
time for a shortie!!!
Nice dive by MFA
Can’t decide whether Fleury flops in an exaggerated manner more when he makes a routine save or is lightly brushed by an opponent.
Great shot by Richards
What the fugg is Butt-Chin doing?
Everything on the outside on the PP…
78 seconds of POOP
thanks joe
POOP? I don’t see Crosby out there?
what? we forgot how to score
if i was in that booth right now id choke Sam and Joe to death right now. sick and tired of them today.
Lev, i’d pay you
ilb as you like to say, Men vs. Boys right now.
Torts is going to make these dudes cry at practice tomorrow….
who the hell is gabby dropping it to two feet from the net.
that’s what i’m calling the Rangers powerplaykill….....the POOP
Jeff Carter with a hat trick! I’d trade Kredier for him!!!
LOL! Carter = #therightway
#thedrunkway
Another non call in Pittsburgh
The two blind mice missed another penalty but with our powerplay, we are better off declining it.
Mike Richards for Steve Nash?
ok that’s it, remote through tv. why the hell is Sam yelling when Pittsburgh was about to score.
One of the worst games of the season, right here
If only the dung-pile coach had pulled the goalie to get a free PP at 0-0 in the first…
all around ORR, sam and joe are just brutally horrific tonight
an interesting concept lol ;-)
LOL! Bickell forgot he’s supposed to play defense.
imagine Hank forgets he has to play goalie….
At least we know that Steigerwald and Errey can only aspire to one day becoming as good as brutally horrific.
OMG this is bizarro world tonight
Black Hawks tie it at 1
you stuck with them tonight LW?
It’s remarkable and quite comical to watch Torts continuously try and play Mitchell in an offensive role and he continues to fail miserably at it . Both at even strengh and on the powerplay.
and we still suck
Fire Torts!!! He can’t even tie a windsor knot appropriately!
Interchangeable parts, lol
I don’t think we’ll win two or three Cups with this crowd….
Disappointing effort so far…..Penguins treating this game like the 4 point game that it is
Detroit would completely demolish us if we played this way against them in the Finals.
Spike Lee update
there is no doubt in my mind after tonight nash will be here. sather will react
No, Linda, I can get the Rangers feed every game this year. Still feels like I’m missing something by not having to listen to those reprobates on the Pens broadcast though.
It’s “Lion for a Day” time…
LOL @ Spike Lee update. I hate that guy! I hate Jeremy Lin and the Knickerbockers! Losers!
Everyone in white looks hungover tonight….
The worst three game stretch of the season.
Debbies winning 3-2 with just a few minutes left in TO…
Torts can always play our secret weapon,
AveryWolskiAbsolutely brutal game for RIIIIIIIICHAAAARDS!
Nash makes no difference in this game…all our non scorers didn’t come to play tonight….no pressure…no hitting…winning few battles along the wall
i was almost tempted to change to the pens feed LW, because sam and joe were overdoing their penscrush.
It looks like we’re going to be 0 for 2012 against the Pens after tonight.
Boo Knicks! Yay Celts!! Wicked aaahsome!
Or maybe I should say 0 for 2 vs Pens in 2012, that’s more like it…
How soon will the Devils lead the division, Eric?
lin, Never watch pens games because of pens crush commentators, maybe the nausea could be a new diet?
LET’S GO PENS!!!! LET’S GO PENS!!!!!!
Rangers came out a little flatulent tonight. They kinda stunk…
Did Fleury play tonight?
Crappy game. Malkin torched us and we couldn’t score. Welcome Rick Nash.
He’s got John Mitchell out there. I changed my mind, trade fir Nash
Tom Bare Asso?
shut out!!!!! we need to forget about this game and keep building for the future!!!
Dreadful performance tonight…just dreadful!
We Want Nash! [clap clap clap clap clap]
Lloyd, what do you expect from John Mitchell? Sigh…
totally expecting a revamped roster for the game against the Islanders.
Dubinsky is definitely “uh-oh”-ing right now.
My only wish as a Ranger fan is to see my favorite little hobbit suit up for the Rangers and start picking up points like a wizard…
Dubinsky should join AA!
Alaskans Anonymous!!
I don’t really want Nash but John Mitchell is the sixth skater? Dear.God.
3 days before the next game, i think tomorrow’s the day to make a big move, have enough time to get 2 practices in.
Right. Some of us can tell based on this game that Nash would make no difference in this game because John Mitchell is a better option on the powerplay, at even strength,and with the goalie pulled. And of course his presenceon a line would not create any extra space for his linemates to create offense. Brilliant analysis.
btw hope you all saw that article i posted last night about the Rangers players thought on Nash after the game.
John Mitchell and a 6th Rounder for Rick Nash…
you heard it here first…
I missed the third with a phone call. However, HOW WOULD NASH HAVE MADE A DIFFERENCE IN THIS GAME?????
They put NO pressure on Fleury tonight – maybe 1 or 2 good shots in the whole game..
czechthemout with the classic stupid comparison. sure nash is better then mitchell. how would the defense be without mdz or mcdonagh and no AA and no 3 major pieces/prospects…
classic zero sum game stupid arguement. yep nash is better then Mitchell and your point is?
“See what we did wrong on the video”
They got on the plane to Pittsburgh.
Mickey, well the Rangers did get shut out, and Nash is a finisher with skill in front of the net. Callahan on the postgame just said they got a lot of chances in the last half of the game but couldnt finish. Not a proponent of gutting our entire team for Nash, but Prust sayin’
ok, you guys have a good one, and the usual suspects, keep me informed by text tomorrow if anything goes down!!!
Islanders Friday night, much better effort expected, demanded
You didn’t miss a thing, Mickey..
bad effort. first goal was stralman and MDZ train wreck. 2nd goal was PP goal.
very little offense tonight. pittsburgh at least 4 times had the puck in the ranger zone for a minute or more buzzing non stop.
bad bad effort, forecheck was no where.
is this 10 + shutouts against on the season…...................
Well, “supposively” Erskine has a great shot, so he’s the guy Slats should be targeting.
Lets all complain aboot Mitchell! He hasn’t had his day of whipping yet! Not enough blocked shots! Not enough hits! Oddly shaped head! Yada, yada, yada!
Goodnight, Lin – total bummer tonight.
We love you Pen-guins, oh yes we do!!
well for one Nash wouldnt have run the goalie….but hey Dubinsky…he’s doing the other things!!!
Looks like Strahlman was in Chateau Bow-Wow in the third period…did he even play one shift?
Come on Slats! Pull the trigger!
(Then Messier would be GM…)
unfreaking real
devs win it ot on soft goal flyers tie vs jets with 9 sec left
not a good night
terrible game plan. the defense hasn’t been this confused all season!
Orr
good one you juvenile delinquent. after all my 1 stupid comment is greater then your hundreds of moronic childish comments.
how was mommy’s macaroni and cheese tonight? Get your new issue of playboy or looking at Maxim on line?
MORON
3 point games all around the EC tonight…
Yeah, lets blame Mitchell – not the top six forwards!
not sure what point Torts was trying to get across by benching Stralman and Eminger…? Especially since it hurt our already suffering defense…
And Bickel, too – slay him! He didn’t outscore Malkin!!
Chi 1 Det 1 after two… Might still salvage something.
lev
no one cares about leafs and jets getting points anymore. div teams need to lose. imperative we win div
“Supposively” some restaurants serve fried macaroni and cheese balls. Somebody was telling me that. Anyway, I have to try that sometime!!
Not blaming Mitchell at all since he’s not the one making personnel decisions
Devs win another OT/SO game, eric? I couldn’t stand to watch them at all tonight.
LOL! One stupid comment? Bwahahaha!
A) I don’t like Macaroni and cheese
B) Nobody buys magazines, especially Playboy
You’re “supposively” a red herring.
it has become rather obvious that Hagelin is the best LW on the team, and it is time he was played that way. Dubi is in the middle of a lost season, and is playing a checking role now, and Artem ( the scarecrow) Anisimov vanishes for long stretches. Anisimov, by the way, the next battle he wins along the boards, will be the first battle he wins along the boards.
It was a bad game. They’ve had a bad stretch. So blow it all up? I don’t get that.
jagr in ot wins it
a bad night all around for us
OMG! Leaves are snake-bit – they may blow the playoffs this year again if they keep playing this way. How the hell did that OT goal get behind the TO goalie?
Nash can make a difference in any given game. Sad to say but we’re probably going to overpay to get him.
jimbo
ot on a soft goal from the point. flyers tie it with 9 sec left in reg jagr wins it in ot
Man, your team takes one night off, and the whole division closes in on you….
I really love the morons who come in here with the “blow it all because of one loss?” nonsense.
You’re allowed to be critical after a loss – especially a bad loss – without wanting to see the franchise close up shop.
At least two of the other goals crept through his legs, Jimbo.
Worst part about this game was that the Rangers were much better against Chicago than they were tonight
Season over. Trade everybody.
Anyone think that despite what they are saying, that this team is actually worried/thinking about all the trade rumours? They’re tops in the conference and all these rumours of blowing up the team are coming around. This is still a young team and despite what they say, they are STILL human beings and they have to have that in the back of their minds at all times.
Eric, I saw the final Debs goal on the NYR post-game, but I didn’t see how it got in – just *awfu*l goaltending.
Philly doesn’t surprise me so much. After all, it was Winnipeg they were playing, but still…
A brutal night for NYR fans…
LMAO, LW—pull the goalie at 0-0 …
it apparently wouldn’t have made a difference.
Latona, the Leaves goalie? They have been doing major goaltending suckage lately, and they’re gonna fall out of a playoff position soon at this rate.
Time to panic!
nobody buys magazines, guess you never go to a doctors office or go to a newsstand…......
fedetenko is needed on this team, that is scary..
bickel should play defense or not dress end the story…
prust did zilch. he most nights does zilch, bad in his own zone and when he is not forechecking he has zero confidence with the puck.
pittsburgh had the puck 70% of the time. Not seen that occur much this year. reangers could not clear the zone and the pen’s d men held the puck in ton of times.
boyle cannot score, same for dubi, and prust, then you throw in rupp and mitchell and this team has 7 or 8 forwards who can score.
they need to win on defense, toughness, and goaltending unless slats listens to morons who want to gut the team so they can get an overpriced forward who will underachieve so they can boo him in about a year and complain why the rangers are in cap hell with no prospects ready to contribute….
If they’re concerned about rumors that’ll be over and done with by tomorrow most likely.
Stuart A
My point is that you are an idiot. How could you or anyone else feel that Nash would not make a difference? He may or may not have. How would three prospects have anything to do with this game or anything.g else? AA is inconsistent and in his third year has not taken a step forward in his play. MDZ is a nice player but let’s not get carried away with his ceiling. He still makes many bone head decisions. He also has no shot from the point, not a good thing from a powerplay QB. The only prospect I would not trade is Kreider. I also would not trade Stepan,MCD, and three prospects and a number one to do this trade. The Rangers won’t either. Rick Nash is an elite talent who has played with nothing, zero both on defense,in goal,and at forward for nine years. I bet you that Even Malkin would not have done that much better if given the same circumstances.
yep lets panic. after all they are only in first with 1 of the youngest teams in hockey with tons of prospects.The Rangers are always in first. If always means about every 14 years…..
yep press the panic button they lost game 57 by 2 goals…......
I really love the morons who complain about other fans saying “blow it all because of one loss?” When no one actually said that….
You put words in other peoples mouths and then complain about them saying it…
Dope.
stuart,
maybe the guys who think the Rangers should trade for Nash think your a moron.
anyone remember the season after the lockout where the jagr led rangers were in control of the division for all of the seaso until like the final 15 games or so and the rangers lost there last 9 including the final day of the regualr season and the devs came out of no where to win div by winning there last 8 .
i know its one game tonight but the devs dont lose anymore we still play them 3 times and the lead is 7.
can this be deja vu all over again
Who the fugg would read a magazine in a Doctors office? Go watch “Contagion” and you’ll learn something. If stupidity is contagious, then that explains a lot. Stop touching those magazines!!!
Newsflash!! You’re all stupid jerk head idiots!!! Red herring!! BITE! BALLS! JAM!
one a day
two a day
This is fun! Whheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nash isn’t a panic deal it’s a necessity deal.
LOL! Let’s Go Swanepoel!
chezhthemout you are an idiot. You have probably seen Nash play 20 games maximum in his career. MDZ had a moron move tonight, and?????The guy is 21 and playing great.
ANd if you can predict how MDZ will develop then give me a few stock tips also…...
AA is 23. Is he going to be Nash? Nope, but can he be a very good 2 way 25 goals scorer? absolutely.. You think differently then we just disagree…
MDZ the nice player would get if the Rangers wanted to trade him a 1st round pick and more…...Yep if QUincey goes for a first rounder then MDZ goes for more. He is 6 years younger and a better player…...........But he is a nice player….RUn of the mill d men.
the biggest problem with this game is that it means three lackluster efforts in a row, and that’s probably enough to force Sather to put down his cigar long enough to trade away everyone in sight for Nash
“The guy is 21”
Duh! No Shyte Sherlock!
GO SWANEPOEL!Hawks ahead 2-1
Eric, I didn’t forget it – I never forget things like that – and it is always in the back of my mind that it could happen again.
You forgot the best part – then, in the playoffs, Gomez causes Jagr to blow his shoulder out, and we’re done like in 4 straight…or maybe 5, I forget…
SO MDZ is only 3 yers older then you ORR>>>>
again make sure you turn off your video games before mommy tucks you in…
Lloyd,
I don’t really think you can call Sunday’s game a lackluster effort. A lackluster result, perhaps.
OMG, some of you are making me want to throw things. Or strangle something.
BACK AWAY FROM THE LEDGE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD.
AND NO NASH! HE’LL BE THE NEXT GOMEZ ON THIS TEAM.
Dubinsky and Anisimov and a 1st
would even include Erixon
My mommy can beat up your mommy! FACT!
for Nash and #15….....both would fit right in
new post.
“AA is 23”
Duh! No Shyte Sherlock!
“Yep if QUincey goes for a first rounder then MDZ goes for more. He is 6 years younger and a better player…...........But he is a nice player”
Duh! No Shyte Sherlock!

Sherpa Sherpa….ah Baccala…
jimbo
yes playoffs game 1 jagr blows his shoulder out in 3rd per of a 6-1 game.
people forget still 24 games to go. 7 pts not as much as you think when you still play div teams 2-3 times
now now reginald, don’t upset stuart with your talk of trading for Nash. even if what you say makes sense.
http://espn.go.com/blog/new-york/hockey/post/_/id/7258/rangers-impressed-with-nashs-play
ye so McD compares Nash to Malkin and Stralman who played with the guy to Datsyuk, and Girardi was impressed…...but who needs him? useless. Gomez #2. Dubinsky’s better.
better yet Ill take it a step forward… 4 of the Rangers D-Men just threw Dubinsky under the bus by saying how good Nash is….fair conclusion no? dont answer that.
Reginald
Bingo! Just add Mcilrath to that package and that should be enough to pry away someone who clearly wants out of that hole team. I would then see what it would take to get Steve Off out of Dallas.
um, new post a while ago.
