Game 59.
Ya boys have lost two of their last three. They are 3-1 against the Islanders this season.
The Rangers open another back-to-back set, with Buffalo at MSG tomorrow.
Martin Biron, ex-Islander, starts in goal. Ruslan Fedotenko returns from his unannounced (most likely concussion) injury. Stu Bickel returns to defense, and Steve Eminger is prucha’d along with Wojtek Wolski and Jeff Woywitka.
Evgeni Nabokov (flu) returns for the Islanders, who have lost three of their last four.

I’m going to be a first-intermission guest with Kenny Albert and/or Dave Maloney on 1050-AM. Give us a listen.

LGR!!
Well, Hello Ranger Fans- here we are once again in the Mausoleum, the World’s Most Gamey Arena. While we’re waiting for this game to start, I wanted to give you a peek at what goes on at the trade deadline, and how we make all those important decisions regarding the Rangers.
Uncle Glennie: Come on Howson. You know I want Nash but you’re breaking my balls man. Del Zotto? You’re breaking my balls here. You’ll be making a Nashty mistake. McDonagh? No Way. Breakin’ my Balls, man. Kreider? Brakin’ m’ballz…
(Noo Yoke Nicks….Go Noo Yoke, Go, Nooooooooooooooooo Yoooooooooke) Oh that’s Dolans new ringtone, I better get this… Yes Big Guy! This is Glen… (annoyed) Yeah, I heard about Lin. Who hasn’t? Yeah… Linsanity. Very clever. What did you want?
Yep, I’m working on Nash but there’s an endless argument here and on the blogs about whether to get him or not. Yeah, Nash-derbating, I call it…
No, Nashsanity doesn’t make any sense. What if he doesn’t work out in NY? They’d be calling him a Nash-hole. (Click)
Muckler: I’d like to see a line of CheeChoo, Ruutu and Tootoo.
Uncle Glennie: (aside to Messier) see what I told you about substance abuse? Listen to him now… just baby talk.
Uncle Glennie: Muck! Hey, Muckler! Get Dave Maloney in here.
Dave Maloney: Yes,Glen? What do you want?
Uncle Glennie: You get on that phone and talk to that idiot brother of yours and get us a do-over on the Korpikoski deal. And don’t take no for an answer. Or you’ll be broadcasting Ranger games from the smallest stall in the smallest men’s room in MSG.
Uncle Glennie: Say! What ever happened to Brashear?
Messier: Last I saw him; he was a bouncer at Warren’s.
Torts: Yeah, He threw me all the way across the street…
Messier: (smiling) I saw Avery lookin’ out the window.
Uncle Glennie: Hey! I only made that one mistake in my entire career as GM.
Messier: What do you mean, trading Gretzky?
Uncle Glennie: Alright two mistakes…
Torts: Getting Lindros?
Uncle Glennie: That was Lion For A Day. Doesn’t count…
Muckler: Hiring Trottier as coach?
Uncle Glennie: (annoyed) Everybody just shut the hell up! I forgot what I was going to say. Now where was I?
Keenan: Well here I am guys. Sorry I’m late.
Uncle Glennie: You’re just like a freaking blister Mike. You show up after the work is done.
Uncle Glennie: Well Ranger Fans, that’s how it goes around here sometimes. It’s never easy, there are always critics complaining about what we do, especially in the press.
And speaking of that, Hey! Carpinello! You better sit on that zoo Ranger Report blog of yours over there. Some of those people need to get a life. LinChangesName, ORR, Jimbo, ilb… on there ALL the time. Don’t they have something to do? And you better get rid of that Slatsko and all those other degenerates that post there. Starting to get on my freaking nerves…
Forever Yours (Every blessed minute)
Uncle Glennie
Beer-On better not screw up, or else the Kings wont empty their roster for him!!
Evening gang!
The weekend is finally here and I couldn’t be happier.

Fug, butter butters…LOL….I’m an asshat…
Sather!!! Just like Uncle Glen!
Good to see Uncle Glennie bringing the funny once again!
Orr, that’s why Sather should really emphasize Beer in his name. Carter might personally charter a flight to get him to Hollywood.
Uncle Glennie lives!!!!! lol at warren reference…..
LW3CPOH,
Telling him how to throw a wicked slider with a whiffle ball?
Uncle Glennie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Awesome. Thank you for stopping in!
Cory says, your claw means nothing to me….
4everanger!!!!!
I think about you often. I miss your sense of humor! I must see u at the next ilb boneheadfest!
Is Du-Gay’s wife the lead singer of Hank’s band? She dresses as bad as he does.
Uncle Glennie has been doing much better these past 5 years. Makes me wonder what exactly is he smoking in those stogies :-).

Greg, LMAO….we get it. :)
This is gonna be a tough game. Isles are not that far out of the playoffs.
I get the Isles broadcast. Which is both good and bad- good cause I love Howie, but awful cause of Butch
LOL! Let’s Go Rangerbockers!
Mama, still working – no shirt, no pants
Uncle Glennie! Welcome back. Gonna have to read it later.
I’m ready for the game!
Butch Goring= Skelator
Joe Micheletti just said that Gaborik is still skating. Wow, I thought that all this time, Gaborik was running on the ice. They use skates in hockey?
Bwahaha!! Good memory, Mickey!!
Rangerbockers!!
Lets go boys!! Get another 2 points.
Mickey, it’s like he’s Skelator AND Beastman all rolled into one
God help Cameo studios…..
http://www.youtube.com…the blitz…..oh the days..:)
i just watched a 20 minute segment on youtube about the lokomotiv plane crash, with interviews from Ruslan Salei’s widow, and KHL officials….really heart-breaking. ill post the link tomorrow for it not to get lost in this game thread…oh ye and they mentioned Cherepanov and his death…just heartbreaking.
Howie Rose looks like Steven King, and Butch Goring looks like a character created by Steven King
Thanks, NYR. I loved that show growing up! He-Man Ruled!
HAHAHA MOMMA , youse get it but i dont yet!!!
GO RANGERSSSSS lets go go gog ogog ogo go go go go!!!!

Lets go Rangers!!!!
LETS GO RANGERS!!!!
RANGERS !!!
RANGERS!!!!
LETS GO RANGERS!!!
SHOW US WHAT YOU’RE MADE OF BOYS!!
Uncle Glennie!
the cat dragged in some unsavory elements again!
HAHAHHAHAH, Lin! That’s even better
Lettuce go RAngers!
LW- Looks like Chico is preparing to do the Vulcan mind meld.
Sooooooo…Does anybody know Brown’s cap hit? Would Dubi and a first rounder get him? I would be way more excited seeing brown come in than I would Nash. I know Nash will bring the goal scoring we need but to add another Callahan to go into the playoffs would be pretty rad.
LET’S GO RANGERS!!!
Lev, I saw part of the on Real Sports. Was heartbreaking to see.
lmao Mickey, it’s odd to be both at the same time, but he pulls it off.
Hey, I should know in a few days if Nashvegas is doable, are you still up for it?
STUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
Anybody know if the Columbus scouts are at the game?
Yes m’am. I am still up for NashVegas.
I KNEW IT, StuPickles
Sauer Bickels?
Stuuuuu! Good one
Hamonic missed nine games with a broken nose? By my calculations, Brad Marchand should be out for the next 35 years.
SWEET! should be a good time. I’ll see if Christopher is in also lol
Lame fight! They’ll probably go again.
Uncle Glennie!
Yes, we’re still Nash-Derbating on here…
the NHL needs to get rid of the fighting..there i said it.
Mickey, my first word was “He-Man.”
that was kinda underwhelming
suave shampoo is a linesman
Lin! Sanity!
Jurcina’s dump in just made me recall when Alfredsson shot it at Niedermayer with a second or so to go in one of the periods of the Stanley Cup Finals. That was great!
FIRE UNCLE GLENNIE!
Capuano looks like he slept in a trash can.
CARP! TASTIC!
Cool beans, Lin.
NYR, the is awesome!
Casey Zeezeekus?
LOL, LW3CPOH
{{{{{LINDA}}}}}
lolita!!! sorry….
Casey who?
Dammit
Creepy looking fugger!
SOFT-RON!
This team sucks
Casey and Leo!!! nasty!..
‘oh fug
Moulson Goalsin.
Tavares is sick
FIRE SATHER!!! {{{{{{OLGA}}}}}}
holy crap, they let level five score…..... disgusting
A perennial scorer from 5 feet out. So he scores yearly from 5 feet out?
Just turned it on. What did I miss besides Jurcina’s dump?
Miami…go to the beach and sand up….:)
Nice of MSG to block out the Rangers game now that they’ve settled with TWC.
ok, since you guys have always been generous with your thoughts and prayers, there are a few issues i’d appreciate if you could send good vibes for:
Found out Wednesday night that next wednesday my daughter will be having a biopsy to see if she has cancer. Then, yesterday, she was tboned by a 70 something year old asshat, (‘the sun was in my eyes) and now has a dislocated kneecap and 3 torn ligaments.
Thanks for always being helpful with stuff like this.
OVIOUSLY all this trade talk is hampering our team. They just dont play the same. Well when Biron is in net but it can’t be just him ? Can it? The Rangers lost something and im thinkin it all this trade crap. WE NEED to get monday here ….now!!!!!
Tiki, said the same thing to myself. Oh, Joe.
This team needs Biron and Gabby to look like they did before the ASG.
Nice pick, Blue.
Blame captain for this goal…
I’m not giving TWC no tree fitty.
If Nash was playing in this game. we’d have a shot on goal! PRUST SAYIN!
i see Sam and Joe are pickign up right where they left off in the last game….i think they forgot that they are RANGERS announcers.
Oh, Linda, sorry
Lin, so sorry :( Stay strong, we are all behind you and your daughter…
Nice pick by the linesman on Richards after the faceoff to let MacDonald get free for the chance just before Moulson scored.
You have my prayers and lots of hugs, Lin.
Flavah can’t buy a goal
Should have played Hank…
Fuggin’ PAP.
get him OUT OF THERE.
For the love of…. SIGH
LINDA , thats alot happin to one girl!!! She is one tough girl . BIG HUGS LINDA!!! Huge prayers for your daughter XOXOXO!!!!
Hope and Prayers for your Daughter, Linda.
SOFT-RON!!
That shot was nuts
Thanks Ilbzo and NYR!!
omg, this is ridiculous!!!!!!!!!!
Looks like we have to sign. Parenteu and Whale him immediately
NASH IS COMING!
PAP = Rangers killer
Hard Work plu talent beats har work alone everytime…..NOT eNOUGH talent on the roster…......in february march april…....all teams tighten up and play the same grinding game as rangers used to…........just realistic…...girardi very average….worn out….......maybe all worn out…........
Haven’t really liked Torts’ decisions with the goaltenders lately.. oh well..
so sorry Linda….thoughts are with you.
Yeah, Beer-On has more trade value than Erixon, huh??
thanks Mickey and Gregsta!!
Freakin papsmear, Ranger killer. That’ll be Dubinsky if he’s traded.
This is what happens when Eric says it’s not a must win game.
I highly doubt Beer-On finishes this game.
Hemsky re-signs with Oilers, two years.
Thanks Lev. it’s time for them to just put their house on flatbed and move the hell out of MA. And Tiki, I will check and see if it was Tom Brady’s dad who hit her ;-)
love it
THIRD loss coming tomorrow
NASH coming Sunday
Let’s get Physical, physical…
It’s rest for Hank in a game with no standings implications. Still want the W but Biron hasn’t been good of late.
So which Power Play will show up today?
Lin, prayers en route.
One that requires Nash Olga.
We can haz pp goal, pls?
What power play?
(Does that answer your question?)
Can blame Biron, he hasn’t looked good. But some pretty crappy play going on in front of him, too.
Good thing this isn’t a must-win.
God vibes your way, Linda
This team is absolute Trash-League
Good vibes
Good thoughts, Lin.
i see Nabokov went to Fleury’s School of Exaggerated Saves
TRADE STAHL!
Hooray!
They should call it the Passin Play
Stahlsy!
That’s one!
STAAAAAAAAAAAAAL!!
SSSSSSTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHLLLLLLLLLLL
Wooohoooo. Nice play. Stall!
Finalmente!!!
hey finally a goal
biron still sucks
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Let’s take this game back, beeches!
Weird that shooting on the PP led to a positive result.
what was that I read today, trade Marc Staal, yea right.
Great shift by Hags, Flavah, and Chuck.
Staal from Stralman and Mitchell on the PP. Yuck.
Perhaps that goal will wake them up. 1-2.
Thanks everyone! youse guys truly are the best!!! XOXOXO
Islander coach stole Corey Harts hair style
luck
Sorry to hear about your daughter, Linda. I’ll pray for her and you.
prayers for Lin and family from duckbill family
Anyone heard Richard’s name mentioned yet? 15 minutes in.
Did I just hear that whistle they play after strikeouts at Yankees games???
good thoughts to you and yours Lin…
they announced Richards as the goal scorer (so horrible incorrect lol) so yes his name was mentioned
lmao, Miami.
ps, brutal internet connection here … so I’m not ignoring you guys.
Fla, they just mentioned Richards name on the goal announcement … then they realized it was Staal’s.
Capuano stole his hair style from a surprised raccoon.
lol yes you did Mickey. that’s the sole good memory of AJ Burnett Ill have…he got that sound fairly often..
Use Staal more on the point on PP with MDZ….let Rich play up front
Richards? Heard his name twice…
“ORR!! What Is It Good For?
February 24th, 2012 at 7:31 pm
TRADE STAHL!”
Definitely trade stahl but keep Marc Staal :-)
Wow Lin, I’m sure things will work out, my thoughts are with you and your daughter
Capuano looks like he would coach the Islanders. I think that the simplest way to put it.
Thanks, Lev. LOL about AJ
I agree, Tomg!
Call up Avery, trade for Nash, plan the parade! you’re welcome.
apparently Zidlicky trade to Devils (yuck) is imminent
Yes C3!!! I’m having computer problems…hartnell
Thanks so much everyone! I am truly blessed to know yas!
when is nash coming i cant look at dubi anymore. keep kreider and del zaster and mac out of the deal and lets get it done
A glowing Hooters ad on the boards? Carter and Richards might be Islanders by next year.
If Avery placed on re-entry waivers tomorrow….will someone claim him?
Dave Maloney just said PAP is “wonderful” and the Rangers never gave him the opportunity like the Isles have…
for those who have center ice package habs/caps game on tsn feed they have insider trading coming up in a few at end of 1st per
dreger mckenzie lebrun
Dubi scopin’ the Ice Girls
I think Biron time has come and gone..
I know the job market sucks but I wish Sam and Joe would critique the rangers just a bit more, instead of canonizing .
If gaborik and stepan were in the NFL their uniforms would always be white .
I don’t think cbj want a dman anymore since they got Johnson now…they will def. want a scoring forward now…
Carp Speaks! Coming up…
Rick Carpiniello coming up on 1050 ESPN Radio…
Tell them to FIRE SATHER, Carp!
thanks Olga and NYR!! just brought up the radiocast!!
lmao, i am just laughing at the comments on the avery article on the post. seriously?
Devils honoring a true professional tonight!
“Rick Carpiniello coming up on 1050 ESPN Radio…”
its a shame noone will be able to listen…
Wild Wacky Waffleboard
Hemsky 2 years $10 mil????
Dom Emrick night! What a guy! Legend.
Doc* LOL! Dom…
was that chick crying cuz the wings lost a regular season game? OY!
Steve Nash and Yanic Perreault? Pidto is getting worse somehow.
when the hell is Carpy gonna talk. It’s a freakin commercialfest
Oleo:
http://rangers.nhl.com/club/RadioPlayer.htm?id=2011020909
i’ve been told i do a tremendous Doc impression…
“lmao, i am just laughing at the comments on the avery article on the post. seriously?”
It is some pretty funny stuff. He’s the savior of the team it seems. “Why is this mean spirited Tortorella doing this to him.” Just great. The Avery fan club still hasn’t moved on.
Thanks for reaffirming what I’d though I’d heard, LW.
Wasn’t Yanic Perreault a face-off specialist? We should get him!
nothing new from tsn guys that we didnt already know.
nabokov to leafs if isles and him are far apart on contract talks by monday
Islanders are trying to get int the playoffs? OK…
you just gotta laugh
TORTS = BIG MEANIE!!!
Nash Debating on the Radio!
NYR_FAN
i got it i just hate 1050. You would think with all that money they would be able to buy off those little local stations thats cut in…
lmao Ilbzo, they are always trying to get in!
t
My subwoofer is shot, I can’t hear Carp’s interview.
oleo listen as a stream, much clearer
Carp Vader
oleo, lets hear your doc lol
What’s Carp saying? C’mon…
Nice job, Carp. Good hockey chat.
Shout out for Carp !!! Good job buddy….
Is Howie Rose humping someone?
Large grandma pie, BBQ chicken wings and lasagna! Oh yeah! Party in my mouth and only I’m invited!
Willie Mitchell!!!
Bravo C3! sounds yum
My happy dream… being with Carp and Dave for chat
A large grandma pie is the size of MZA.
Oh look, the second period started. I’d flipped to FOOD
Did they just mention Richards’ name?
C3, in exchange for Latona….50 points!!! I’m starving for that!
hoe many more years of richards shoot me now
i get MSG so i never have a reason to use a stream but sometimes im on the road and its impossible to get a signal. No excuse considering i’m not even 30 miles away…
I heard Richards name…
LOL Torts: @$5$%&*2!
Torts with a couple of “byfugliens”...
wow carp, you move fast…
quarter million dollar penalty there
Tzatziki? It’s good with pita bread
I thought I heard it…did he do something?
and with a gyro ilb….i always ask for extra
“Oh look, the second period started. I’d flipped to FOOD.”
An excuse heard for many an early second period goal conceded in New Jersey over the years.
Is Dubi playing like a guy who is “supposively” on the trading block?
This PK is a dime-a-dozen
Oh poop….just let Gaby hog the puck…
what the hell is that
How dumb do you have to be to not know that rule?
I had a fuggin feeling someone was going to take that fuggin penalty. Such a stupid call!
Penalty to #4, Michael Del Zotto, 2 minutes for double-sticking. This kid’s brain seriously shuts off sometimes.
WTB was that?
You can’t “pass” a stick to a teammate. Dumb move by Del Zaster, and by Boyle, who called for him to pass the stick back to him.
full moon?
Well that’s a rare call
Brain cramp, MDZ….Migraine for Torts.
That is as stupid a penalty as the delay of game for over the glass.
oy vey
When you think about it, it’s even dumber in the offensive zone.
gotta agree Mickey!
Sam just had his first orgasm of the night.
marty!!!
bring in gaustad who could win a freaking faceoff.
Nash wouldn’t have taken that penalty!!!
It’s in the rules, Mickey. And I hope it doesn’t kill the game flow.
“Biron’s on his game now!”
I remember Captain Clutch getting called for that once. Tossing the stick to somebody like a moron.
PAP SMEARING THE RANGERS.
I hate this son of a witch
I’m so sick of this.
Is this a cruel joke?
AGAIN??
Sigh.
SOFT-RON!!!
I bet you won’t be able to slap the smile off Parenteau’s face.
What was up with Girardi there?
embarrassing
And of course the Islanders score on that.
Del Z = Columbus Bound!
mommy hartneller…seriously, pap!!!! goood grief!
Enjoy the bench MDZ
I know it is, ilb. I think it should be a rule that is revisited by the league is all.
its now 816 on feb 24th
PREDICTION THE DEVILS WIN THE DIV. THIS TEAM NOW IS STALE
Yeah, really, Mister D. He sure showed some urgency in the corner on Tavares.
lol @ eric
‘Atta boy, eric.
Did Eaton just lose a foot race to Rupp?
hockey gods. you kill the good penalties, and don’t kill the bad ones.
Joe Mich loving his Islanders
eric, you getting a free weekend in Miami?
A loss pretty much guarantees Nash so… There’s that’s
Guess Biron can’t be trusted to give Henrik a rest. Too bad. He’s certainly not overworked!
If Columbus is scouting this game, Nash isn’t coming here.
if u remmeber after the lockout the rangers led all year lost 9 of 10 to end the season the devs won the final 8 and won div on last day.
3 days later jagr goes to throw elbow at gomez and seperates his shoulder we lose game 1 6-1.
weekes starts game 2 over hank and the rest was history
why do i feel this way
LOL! Carp, was Nash ever coming here?
dammit, my subscription to Center Ice isnt working tonight. anyone have a link to a feed to the game?
Anyone else on the Islanders broadcast? Even I know that stupid helping with the stick rule and they’re just puzzled.
im not really sure how you can defend Biron after tonight’s game. we all give a lot of carcillo to the Islanders so that means Biron is expected to beat them….as im typing this he makes a nice save lol
This game is making me sick!
Trade Strahlman. That was scary
Stralman.. Geez.
eric, this isn’t one of those crappy teams.
SE-RON-DIPITY!
Torts is steaming. WOW
Did Biron lose the puck battles that led to the first and third goals?
iManny, you are getting very emotional during the in-game thread…jus’ sayin.
Devs down 2-0 to Nucks
Understand it’s a penalty, but an Islander would’ve been free to knock the stick out of the zone without getting a penalty, provided Boyle wasn’t trying to retrieve it at the time.
Anyway, I thought the Rangers got the option for Boyle to play with no stick for four minutes or two sticks for two minutes?
BUTT ON YOUR CHIN!!!!
Gabby!!!
Boom. Game over.
Right back in it.
Atta boy, Gabby.
Gabby!
Phew
GABBATINI!!
gabbyyyyyyy
if we could only stop PA now
GGGGGGGAAAAABBBBBBBYYYYYYYYYYY
Elite?
Go Go Gaby!!! GO!!!
We need that man to do that in games like this z
FUDGE YEAH!!
What was that I read earlier on this blog about Gaborik? I didn’t think so.
Gabby scores! You can all come back off the ledge now…
Finally!
Nice pass by Artie
link anyone?
(I used different words last game when Malkin did the same exact goal hanging.)
I think Nabokov whiffed on this one twice…
Captainhan with a big play
Great backcheck by Cally to save his Dmen
Who said a redundant Callahan type wouldn’t be a super-positive?
WOW!!! 14G as a Ranger against the Isles for Gaborik in 16G..
Holy jeebus trade for Weber
Gaborik gave up not scoring or Lent.
im just very adamant about us hangin on to div and not being in the 4 vs 5 matchup vs a div rival.
wont be good for long term playoff success
Stralman serious about avoiding the scratch, eh?
well played Manny!!
Actually, it was Stahl with the nice pass. My mistake.
Not for nuthin, Nabokov’s not looking a lot better than Biron tonight.
stralman will be scratch next game eminger back in
Okay, it was Artie with the nice pass!!!
Rangers don’t have an ex-Isle that’s fueled by rejection from the Bordie Barn.
I thought it was Anisimov, Orr.
How many people?
1) have ever seen that called
2) knew the rule , (I didn’t- handing the stick- yeah, didn’t know pushing it on the ice was a penalty)
eric, first of all, they’re not going into a tailspin. And if they do, they’ll come right out of it pretty soon.
Second, they could end up facing any team in the East whether they finish first or fourth or eighth.
It won’t matter.
That’s what I thought at first, but NHL.com said Stahl. But, they just changed it to Artie!
If only Fedotenko had got banned from all the major clubs in Hempstead, CTB…
I always thought the rule was you can only handle one stick at a time…
Anyone want to be tied going into the 3rd? I would. It would be cool.
Islanders can’t stop Richards tonite…can only hope to contain him.
DD, I was at a game where something like that was called. A few years ago vs Philly. Drury tossed the stick to someone and got called. Ryan Hollweg scored twice in the game. Pretty rare events all around.
NYR_FAN: Ha.
NYR, if that were the rule, then hockey would be for women only :P
Stepan!!!
Stepan! New game!
stepppppppp
YYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH
Nice foreshadowing, Carp.
WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
It’s IN!
YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Captainahan does it again.
Holy whatever!!!
FUDGE YEAH AGAIN!!
All right then, let’s get a fresh start now. 3-3.
Anyone want to have the lead going into the 3rd? I would. It would be cool.
Steppers!!!!!!!!
carp
but if they finish 1st or 2nd in conf they prob get a combination of ottawa toronto florida wash or winnipeg
better then potential playing devs pens flyers if they dont win div
BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Am I allowed to point out that Dubinsky is playing a really good game and could very easily have 2 assists or does that mean we need to rehash the 6 goal thing for an hour?
No, Mister D, we’re all Islanders fans here, remember? We want them to succeed!
Momentum?
Trade Steps and Cally…oh yeah…..:)
Islanders are in sixes and sevens.
Geez, it was Steps goal. I must be tireder than I thought.
2 PP goals? I need a drink.
Sick passing on that PP….Why can’t they do that more?
I forgot aboot that, Latona! We’re supposed to root for our rivals! Go Rangers, Devils, Isles, Flyers & Pens!!
Islanders suck, sorry carp.
That was a cluster..
eric, but anybody could still finish 7-8, too. And the 7 or 8 might be the hottest team in hockey at that point. It doesn’t matter.
But I don’t think they’ll fall down.
go for the vodka shot ilb….yeesh, this game is making me thirsty…
Here’s the stick toss/Hollweg 2 goal game:
http://www.hockey-reference.com/boxscores/200801100NYR.html
Mister D, Dubinsky is excellent tonight.
stralman getting beat wide again
LOL! That chick in the front row behind Torts is staring at him, waiting to see that vain pop out of his skull
this is the message my daughter sent me on FB
you cant even be mad…. you know how bad I need this hahaha
as i finished reading it STEPAN scored. she hasn’t said a word since lol
I’d bare-knuckle fight my mother if you played 7 Nation Army loud enough.
Linda,
Hoping you, your daughter, and the entirety of your family can discover some peace and have good tidings delivered unto you in this difficult time.
Done, mama
I told other Ranger friends…the fishies may s..k…but don’t underestimate them against us….sigh.
LOL…good job ilb!!!
they actually have a banner outside that cave with Level Five under the word COMMITTMENT?
that’s scary
CTB – I’m not buyin’ it. ;)
I see a Prucha suit in Stralman’s future
This whole game just makes me laugh. Wish I checked in earlier and knew about Carp’s radio appearance. Gonna listen to Gross if it doesn’t overlap with Henrik.
Mama, you dont have to tell ilb twice…
Inadvertent elbow….Rupp should have a quiet convo with Martin when he gets a chance.
next chat on radio, my pal and Carp’s…Gross…yay!
kurtis foster in deal to minn from devs devs get zidlicky. more names to follow
thank you very much Latona!
Stralman is having a bad day at the office. The funny thing is I read the other night on the Bluejackets blog how surprised they were how well Stralman has played under torts, Oh well.
zidlikcy to devs for foster palmeri vellieux and 2nd round pick to minn and 5th round pick
No need for thanks, Lin. You know what? I bestow upon you 400 lunch points for your great service to this blog and your family. Hope that makes things a little better!
I thought Trautwig was going to ask how the baby was made just then.
New York Rangers traded Rem Murray, Tomas Kloucek and Marek Zidlicky to the Nashville Predators for Mike Dunham.
Good one, Glen…
Pitbull commercial. Carp’s favorite. Along with today’s drive to Mausoleum.
I have no feed…a little help up here in Canada??
Hopefully the Devils win for Doc tonight
The trade puts the Devils 15 or 20 points clear in the division by April, right Eric?
Mister D- You don’t know hockey (or math), Dubi has 6 goals in over 2 thirds of the season, so it’s impossible for him to score more than 3 goals the rest of the year. :P
When I put Bill Pee-Dough on mute, he still pisses me off, just by looking at him.
Baby in July? Hmmmm…
Marchand sticking his nose in Buffalo’s bidness
I am HONORED Latona!!
NYDNRangers Score sheet shows that Isles’ Matt Martin received a cross-checking penalty at end of 2nd period. So that’ll make it 4on4 at start of 3rd
Fla, how could he NOT!?
my dream dinner….maloney, carp, gross….I just wanna listen…
lw
there 7 back and there is 24 games left we play 3 times. come on not fair to say rangers clinch anything yet. listen i know i am negative but there is plenty of time to be caught.
Hank and Mac need a new frontman..that chick sux.
See what the Devils just traded for Zidlicky? Unreal!
He can’t help it…he can smell Buffalo from his house.
hank word of advice baby formula stinks.
Rollin.. stole the letters right off my fingers! I bet she sings the Anthem before a playoff game
3 players and a pick for Zidlicky?? When did he turn into Lidstrom?
I thought the singer was Chris Simon.
I know, Eric. But you did have the Devils passing the Rangers a couple of weeks ago too…
I thought the Devils were pretty high on that Palmieri kid.
And I agree that that chick singer sucks.
YIKES
LGR
And they sound real good doing everlong, until she opens her trap. Just my opinion.
Did I hear bill pee-dough refer to him as Steve Nash twice tonight
LET’S GO!
what an awful trade by the Devils. Zidlicky is barely better than Foster and they give up Palmieri a decent prospect and a 2nd rounder plus the 3rd if they sign him. the other dude is a career minor leaguer…
DZ and Stralman both having rough games
Excellent dump in by Richards
There’s be a lot of b.s. at that dinner, Mama.
Dare I say, Parenteau wins it in the BCATHGE?
That PP stunk.
HA!! No carcillo Carp….Just said I want to listen….and you all will pay….
Maybe Hank can hook up his lead singer with Richards…maybe that will get him going?
Fla, I was mentioning to Jim Cerny that Richards’ dump-in was Drury-esque.
I am way too tired to go to a skills comps…come on boys!!!
wow devils got ROBBED. good luck with that.. i thought they were in love with Palmieri…
It’s an acquired skill, Carp
Definitely due to the lack of Hagelin LW
LMFAO FLA!!!!! that is brilliant
3 players AND 2 draft picks? Forget Lidstrom, when did Zidlicky become Bobby Orr?
my insurance doesn’t cover this PAP schmear…...come on boys!!!
why always shoot the into the corners? Why not shoot on goal? Even if goalie stops it, it will be a faceoff in offensive zone.
shoot the puck into the corners
i would limit stralman rest of the game. every shift he looks lost tonight. worse game as a ranger.
hey jpg’s sister!!!
what does rupp provide lately.
agree, eric. And he’s not alone.
btw, your brother and sister-in-law rock!!!!
well, rupp did slash Martin on the back of the legs, so there’s that.
LOL! Prust hit and Islander and a ref at the same time
oh geez, then who would you all play tonight…it’s tied with the loser fishies….wtb??
hey mamma, thanks, I’ll tell them
Like that rescue panther commercial
Coors Light sucks but my fridge sucks less when I get them out. Stupid guests not drinking their stupid beer …
If we could just win this game and have that other team from that other city that shall not be named lose, that’d be huge!
oh, they know…:)
Baby buffaloes beating Bruins!!!! That’s a good quadruple B!
get the point worry about 2nd in ot
bull carcillo!
Double word score Mama
Just got home from conducting a church tour – was listening to the radio coverage while traveling.
Good Lord in heaven, why Biron again? I know a rough stretch is coming in the schedule, but we need our #1 guy in net against these guys! They are all out for Ranger blood, every time we play them!
50 extra points for using all my letters Fla…:)
Dubi doesn’t want the puck
The UCLA Bruins play hockey, Mama?
Even it up.
NASH IS COMING!
Can’t wait!
Oh good Adam Gravey….
Richards has a bald spot?
Trade Callahan???
cally why why
For a tied game, this has been a dull third period.
Ugh. If turning into it exists, that’s turning into it.
Guy was falling down. BS penalty.
every penalty call takes is 300 ft from the net
our own net that is
That’s crap!!!! Harmonic turned his back!!!!
typical buttman’s NHL, looking to have the home to win for parity.
We just had a Richards sighting
watch Shanahan suspend Cally for that.
Tiki, ha ha. Those Bruins aren’t my hated Bruins…
Wow! The Isles get nothing when three of their guys go after Cally?
Looked like Cally’s skate got stuck in the ice…
As Wicky would say: penalize the player who puts himself in a vulnerable position.
Lev, he don’t have the pearly onions….
also like cally trying to turn to miss hitting him from behind
Staal looks more like Staal tonight.
Oompa loompa behind Isles bench
Shouldn’t the Rangers had the choice if they shud be down 1 man for 2 mins or 4 on 4 for 2 mins?
11:00 until my calzone is done.
No way Shanahan is suspending anybody … $2500 fine.
First hint of an altercation in the stands. No real fight, and of course a guy in a Dubinsky shirt was ejected.
Rolston couldnt see that the puck was outside the zone from 1 foot away while we could clearly see it on tv
Huge!
Richards favorite passing target…the boards
My dear god. If anyone wants to rewind their DVR and confirm, Richards did everything he could to hold up so he didn’t have to make contact along the boards in our zone.
LGR
That Matt Martin has one disfigured face!
I hate to say this, but come on….skate!
Capuano is dirt. He tells his players to dive, turn into the boards, and elbow. What a piece of carcillo…
Huge PP!!
come on get it done
Islanders broadcast:
“The Islanders want to keep a BIG UNIT on the ice”
via Sally!
Isles are number one in the league in blocked shots?! Really? I thought we owened that category
That was an elbow? They need anatomy lessons.
make sure 2 d men
Having trouble making that pass too, CT
Get Points
Artie is aboot to cry. Either because he missed an open net, or he’s playing for the Jackets next week
Can’t keep up with all of youse…LMAO!
holy hartnell !!! AA!!!
if dubi playing for columbus that goes in
Shooting the puck on PP can be a good thing after all eh…
Oh hartnell…..really? Really????
just get the point now
carp, why is stralman on for entire pp?
Ooompa-Loompa! Hahaha!!
Boyle’s trying to come up with new ways of shooting the puck, and it’s still not working.
OT. Yay?
82. Let’s get another one.
Girl behind Torts loos like Wednesday Adams.
“Trade Callahan???”
Hell yeah, he did squat in the playoffs last year.
I don’t just want a point against these guys….oh dear. And shut up me. I am no NN…....but byfuglien!! Really!
Islanders announcers talking about how they “desperately needed” this point is cute.
down 2-0 3-1 both teams had pp in last 5 mins take the point now lets go win it
Whew! At least we got one point…
Clinch NHL-.500.
Please, no BCATHGE.
Those behind the bench sits cannot be that good, can they? Staring at coaches back all game long…
I’d bet money that Garth Snow pays Capuano to purposely lose.
I guess Richie will have to swoop in and save the day
Haha the Isles are just begging to lose it.
i dont like our chances in shootout with biron go win it
If PAP scores the game winner, I’ll cry.
Nice stuttering video there, ugh.
Wow, Dublowsky! WOW!
The Avery memorial offsides.
send dubi to columbus
Was that the last offside by Dubi as a Ranger?
Good stick Artie
Artaaayy
LMFAO CT!!!!!!!!!!!
There are days when I wish I didn’t care about this stuff…..this is one, and there is so much season left….oh help me…..good Adam Gravey….!!!!
Dumbo Jurcina…
If that’s not a suspension, then what is?
make them pay now
NEED THIS.
What did I tell you? :P
Juice head
holy jumpin 3 games for jurcina
4 on 3 PP? Pass, pass, pass, pass, pass, pass, pass, pass.
Make ém pay, boys – make ‘em pay!!!
McDonaugh= McMonster
That Isles fan behind Torts looks aboot ready to hang himself.
Dave, I love you, but if you say bang bang one more time I will boudreau!
Your-chin-a will be suspended
WOW!
Oh Stepan
Oh man, Stepan :(
If Richards put the fuggin puck on net, that wouldn’t have happened.
“Dive…Dive….Dive with me”
hartnell…..
Boyle should have never passed that. Stupid play
Carp’s favorite!
PAP…
here wigo
well guess the Islanders are getting that 2nd point. hey Islanders, hint: 5 hole.
All Boyle has to do is keep picturing Tummy Brady on his ass as he gets pounded by Justin Tuck and the Giants in his last 2 Super Bowls. That oughta fire him up!
Don’t feel great about Biron here …
Nielsen is deadly in the SO.
Ugh! Now we get to see NYR miss the net three times, right? Hopefully Beer-On comes up big
Who picked PAP for the GWG?
If you even want to call that a pass, ORR.
oh….hartnell…..
Watch the 5 hole Biron.Lets Go Rangers!
DAVE MALONEY JUST SAID:
WHERE IS ZUCCARELLA?Biron’s Five-Hole is about to make another appearance.
Shootout…...Everyone…...”Marty, Marty, he’s our man”...oh wait
Torts shootout lineup
Boyle
Rupp
Prust
I did, Olga.
Mitchell, Richards, Gaborik
hey biron
nielsen goes backhand high
Be back after this hell…...gotta concentrate…
Torts fighting off a sneeze
Latona, are you trying to start trouble?
Anybody want to pick a winner?
Howie with a Jose Reyes reference. :(
5 HOLE
BEER OFF
Jeez 5 hole
6-hole
Zuccarella just said: where is Maloney? ;)
5
oh fugging 5 holing fug!!!
GABBO!
Butt-Chin!
Gabby!
We needed that one right back
Wow, Gabby.
Come on, Biron, make a stupid save!
GABBOOOO
The Great Gabbo!
Gabby!!!
OK, I lied, back and forth…
That was the post Sam
moves like Gabby
$50 says Cally goes backhand, forehand….as always…
As predicted…
GET A NEW MOVE CALLLY!
Here we go …
Marty got rid of the brown pads…got metal ones
C’MON HORSE TEETH!!
LOL! YEAHHHH BUDDY….NO CLUB ENTRANCE FOR YOU.
Eat it, Parenteau.
trade him
This guy’s useless in the fuggin shootout.
Why do we still let richards shoot?
Mr. Edchards…
Atleast Richards didn’t softly give that one up.
5 HOLE?
STOP LEVEL FIVE
This team sucks in the shootout
Why is Jon Mitchell shooting when you could have Anisimov, Hagelin, actual skillful players?
why john mitchell why i ask
LOL! John Mitchell is your 4th shooter….
GODDAMMIT!!!!!
that’s bad
Meh.
We missed out on a point. Trade the future away for Nash.
NASH IS COMING!
My question is, Why not Hagelin in the shootout over Mitchell?
Well, at least the Devils lost.
Really John Mitchell? Really. Oh well I’m happy with the point, we skated our backup and held in there.
Can’t win them all.
Isles played their #1 goaltender – and we didn’t….end of story….
This team is F-ing pathetic in these stupid shootouts.
Tomg, maybe he sucks in the shootout
Richards = Invisible
I’m pretty sure “why Mitchell” is missing the real “why _” question.
HAM EGG BACON NASH BROWN
At least we haven’t lost two in a row in a while.
Tortorella needs to not let Brad Richards shoot in the shootout ever again. Even though that should have happened after the third miss or so.
Torts should put Dubi out there for the SO – he could have sealed his fate in the Red, white & blue….
I don’t want to talk anymore….Niters all. TA!!! ... sigh.
Came back down twice, down 2 guys not so bad.
Last two Ranger shooters 0-10 this season (now 12). WOOT? Choose people that score, don’t go with hunches.
So, how many points have we given away to inferior teams lately?
If I stay any longer, I might go off on a NN, so I’m going offlline. See you all tomorrow.
Torts needs to keep Dublowsky off the ice as much as possible, or else Howson wont want him.
Maybe with a #1 goalie in nets, we don’t need to come from behind – 2 goals on the first 4 shots on goal? Is that major league goaltending?
well if Lundqvist is in goal we probably win but luckily we have a big enough lead where we can sacrifice some points to keep Hank fresh…
Hey Pop, these guys blow.
Going 2 morrow night…got nash?
Jimbo,
The first one was a result of poor coverage, but perhaps Henrik would have had it; I don’t want to fault him on the opening tally. The second goal he needed to have.
pick up a point on devs
You know, it isn’t being an NN to speak the truth – bottom-dwellers and pond scum teams are beating us lately. Not the Penguins, but the others…?
Thanks for that, Latona – I was not able to watch, and Kenny & Dave didn’t fault Biron for either of those 2 goals.
hey richards earn you freaking 10 mil
richards is 0 for 8 in the shootout… cally is not good in the shootout and john mitchell!!!
jeez, good news no shootout in the playoffs.
did not see the whole game …..
The calzone is good, thanks for asking.
The bright side: we still lead the east and isles are going nowhere…so…smile :)
Three losses in four games with only an ot win against the armpit of the league.
Nothing to see here. There are no problems or issues. Move along.
And WTB was going on with our defense? They made it sound like our defense was playing the Gretzy-Kurri-Tikkanen line when that Pre-K Parenteau’s line was on the ice..
This team is full of blondes! LMAO!
And Mitchell!? Hagelin, Dubi, Stepan, Boyle..why not one of those guys!?
What team, C3? The Swedish bikini volleyball team?
I wish they would just throw Stralman out there on the first shot and have him fire a slapper.. wouldn’t change much, all things considered, and at least it would be entertaining!
“ORR!! What Is It Good For?
February 24th, 2012 at 9:55 pm
Tomg, maybe he sucks in the shootout”
I understand but it can be any worse than what I’ve seen.
At the very very least, Zuccarello would help in the shootout…and he’s improved his game since last season…
Hopefully Torts gets a call from Hartford…
Bruins lose in a shootout as well.
sabres beat bruins in shootout stay still 7 up on boston 8 up on devs
Teams slump. The fuggin Wings lost, what, seven in a row, at some point this season? No cause for concern. It happens. At least we picked up a point.
Richards looks pathetic. The guy needs to take his head out of his ass and do something. Fuggin guy can’t even score a shootout goal, at the very least. Useless.
Orr,
Meant cannot be any worse than what I’ve seen for what it’s worth.
We have one more game with the Piles this season, I think – and I’m wishing for a long, hard summer of rehabilitation for Parenteau and Moulson after that game…
I expected to lose in regulation tonight so I’ll gladly take the point especially with Boston and NJ both losing tonight…
Richards:
No Munn, No Fun.
anybody who will freak out over this, please come down to earth.
Bettman Bonus Point is perfectly acceptable tonight, this looked like it could be the CHI game all over again and it wasn’t.
Mitchell? Really? He must be great on shootouts in practice.
Maybe we can rent Hartnell for that last game to dislocate a few Isles knees. He won’t get any grief from the league office for it..
I wonder if Munn broke up with Richards over his no contact rule.
Jimbo
Our team is full of blondes…Hagelin, Stahwl, Stralman, Fedotenko, Mitchell lol
How many losses to this disgrace of a team so far this year?
Oh! OK, C3 – I hadn’t noticed – I always see them with the helmets on…
What did I say? After being dominated by Pissies in their, probably, the worst season game, Rangers needed this win to inferior team, to get back their “mojo” and winning self-esteem; that’s why I said it is a must win. Now, collective psychology has its own domino effect transforming usually to the losing streaks. Will see tomorrow…Hope I’m wrong. BTW, Biron was OK, it’s just silly to blame him.
The Islanders have a legit first line with every player scoring….
Rangers…not so much…
I am so irritated right now.
Isles are never an inferior team against NYR, for what ever reason. Doesn’t help that they needed this win, like Richards needs a new set of chompers.
2 goals in the first 4 shots, 4ever? C’mon.
Islanders scheduling parade down Hempstead Turnpike Sunday, wipeeeeeeeee!!!
Richards = A Whole lot of Cavities
Well, in my mind, our team didn’t come into the game prepared to play, much like in the Chicago debacle – why is that?
Jimbo,
depends on what KIND of shots. What make you feel that Hank or anyone else could make a save on 3 ft. blank shot? C’mon.
LOL TORTS I WANT NAMES
The Rangers might be the better team but Tavares is an incredible player and Moulsen is terrific in front of the net.
If they knew how to draft they’d be some team…
Say the Isles slip in to the tournament in April….Do you guys think the Rangers could beat these Isles in a 7 game series? I have serious doubts…
I don’t know, 4ever – I was traveling when the game started, so I still have not seen those first 2 goals – maybe I’m completely off base with my criticism, but in the Chicago game, then this one – blitzed early, tough to come back from that kind of start.
Oleo, you can’t leave out PAP. He’s been just as good as a playmaker…
I have serious
doubtser.. concerns…let the asylum begin!!!!!!!!!!!
They are only 6 points out…LOL
I’m sorry – but these are points that we should not be giving away.
Who is responsible for reminding the players, “You know, guys – every time we play these guys it’s like a Cup Final game for them – they love nothing in this world more than beating us – so be aware, from the first puck drop, that they’re gonna be in your face, and look to embarrass you – play accordingly!
PAP has more points than Nash.
Way to go Glen…
Isles can’t beat NYR in a seven game series. Shutout that top line, and they’re it will be a short series. And you can’t trust that goaltending.
- they’re
NYR_FAN
PAP is a product of playing with two all-star players. If he is stupid enough to leave the Islanders you will see a huge drop off in assists. He is a good player and all but most of his success comes from being in the perfect spot for him…
yea, rangers are in trouble, NOT, STOP THE NONSENSE PLEASE!!!!
Jeez, Carpy throw DZ under the bus why don’t ya?
dubi 6 goals for 4.2 mil columbus bound?
hahahaha, Bruins …um. hahahahaah!!!! niters….
Why would Columbus want Dubi? 6 goals and 4.2 mil…
Carp knows what the last defeat to the Isles triggered (though he’ll never admit it):
Impending Disaster!
all I know if Lundqvist was in goal the rangers win this game 3-2 and maybe 3-1. The islanders are playing for there playoff lives while the rangers are 7 points ahead in the conference. Forget about winning the president cup because that means nothing. Look up the last team who won the cup when winning the president cup. People need to calm down and come down to earth.
im kind of tired of hearing the players say “ye it’s good to be in first place and have teams chasing you.” teams have been showing up and playing their hearts out against us and we talk the talk of having good starts and such but where is it? it’s been missing ever since the boston game I think.
stevezipay Torts says he’s happy to grab a point, but says Rangers were “sloppy”
————-
who’s better expert on “sloppy” than Avery?! CALL HIM UP!
“Supposively” Howson really likes Dublowsky. Why? Because he’s on drugs, that’s why!
“Forget about winning the president cup because that means nothing.”
It came in handy in 1994. Game 7 at home.
Just Sayin’.
new post.
Tomg,
whatever motivation or lack thereof you’re talking about, fact is that Rangers out shoot, outworked, and “outspirited” Isles in this game. Again, defense mistakes and our “snipers” inability to finish, cost us this game. No reason to try unwarranted comparison Marty to Hunk. I’m absolutely having no provable reason to believe Hank would do better, it is just silly.
