I don’t know what you guys thought about the game, but I sure thought it was a fun game to watch, even if it took the Garden crowd 50 minutes to get into it. The second and third periods were pretty wild. Thoughts: 1) Not to be one of those… Read More →

No update on Ruslan Fedotenko, but the Rangers were not happy about Dominic Moore’s shoulder-to-head hit in retaliation for Fedotenko clobbering him along the wall. John Tortorella wouldn’t comment on it, other than to say that that his team shouldn’t be happy about it. Here’s the post-game stuff. John Tortorella:... Read More →
Game 52. The contest is now closed. No more entries. Hopefully one of youse got the score right this time. End of a three-game homestand. Ya boys haven’t lost two in a row since Dec. 13-15, which is quite remarkable, actually. Interesting next few days with Philly, Washington and Chicago… Read More →

Sally won the ticket contest fair and square. In other words, nobody won, so I offered the tickets to her. But she can’t use them, you know, being eight hours away. Kind of a tough round trip. So we’re going to have a do-over with tonight’s game against the Lightning…. Read More →
First things first. Nobody won the contest. I mean, nobody had the right score, nobody had the GWG. I’ll have to chat with my official contest staff to decide whether to A) move onto the shots tiebreaker, B) scratch the whole thing and have another contest Thursday or C) give… Read More →

Game 51. The ticket contest is now closed. No more entries. Thanks for playing and good luck. Rangers play the Devils for the second time in eight days—so I offer this warning to Henrik Lundqvist, who didn’t start in the previous meeting: Watch out for the bounces off the glass… Read More →

Our gracious and generous donor has given us another pair of tickets to give away, so we’ll have another contest tomorrow. The winner will get two tickets to the Feb. 19 Rangers-Blue Jackets game at Madison Square Garden. So let’s review the rules, shall we? (answer: yes). 1) This is… Read More →
I truly believe that these four wins over the Flyers won’t mean jack-squat if the Rangers wind up in a playoff series against them. It doesn’t work that way. But I also truly believe that the Rangers are better. And here’s the thing. The Flyers have more skill. The Rangers—can… Read More →

I’m on my way home, scrambling to get there in time for kickoff, but doubtful. Doesn’t matter because: A) I already know the outcome. B) Mrs. Carp’s got some homemade rigatoni with meat sauce waiting for me. As for the outcome, save yourself four hours. The Giants will definitely, undoubtedly… Read More →
First this: The Rangers will (or maybe they have already) send tapes of Brandon Prust’s fight with Tom Sestito to the league for review. At the very least, they believe Sestito pulled Prust’s hair—which was pretty obvious from the replays. At the worst, there’s the possibity that Sestito actually pulled… Read More →
Game 50. The first meeting since the Winter Classic. Ya boys are 3-0 against vs. the Flys, who are definitely annoyed by that. Despite that, the Rangers are only three points ahead of Philly in the standings, with two games in hand. The Rangers are 3-0-1 in their last four,... Read More →
Same lineup. Henrik Lundqvist starts in goal. Stu Bickel remains in the lineup, and Steve Eminger, now on the active roster and cleared to return, remains out. Could be that some rough stuff is expected. Remember, Mike Rupp ticked off the Flyers with his Jagr Salute in the Winter Classic,... Read More →

… or, not so Super. This three-day break seems longer, doesn’t it? But we won’t be bored after this. Starting tomorrow, games every other night, seven in 12 days. Then two days off, followed by five games in nine days. Then two days off and a ridiculous 17 games in… Read More →
