Game 4.
Rangers at Flyers.
The Rangers come off their first win of the season, 4-3 in OT over Boston Wednesday night; the Flyers are winless (0-3) so far, and steaming. 
They are also banged up, with Scott Hartnell and Brayden Schenn out, and it looks like thugs Jody Shelley and Tom Sestito will play (shocker) tonight.
First of five meetings this season. The Rangers were 6-0 vs. Philly last season, when Lockout Commissioner Gary Bettman decided it would be a good idea to light up the Empire State Building in Orange to honor the Flyers and Mr. Snider, et al. They have won eight in a row vs. the Orange Crud overall.
Arron Asham (groin) will not play, and it appears Chris Kreider will be a healthy scratch; Matt Gilroy will also be prucha’d. The Rangers recalled Kris Newbury from Connecticut of the AHL to play in Kreider’s spot, which means Stu Bickel remains at forward and Steve Eminger is the sixth D-man.
Henrik Lundqvist starts his fourth straight game in goal.

LETS GO RANGERS!!! LGR LGR LGR!!!
LGR!
who’s number 28? Steve Larmer’s back?
The first question to Duguay should always be: “What time does the strip club need their tablecloth back?”
LGR!!!!
triple fight?
Now I’m out.
LGRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Putting Hagelin on a line with Boyle and Rupp completely negates his speed. Don’t get it.
How many goons in the starting lineups for each side?
do you mean, Bickel might put his 100 percent faceoff prowess on the line?
it actually doesn’t affect his speed at all, Adam.
Does flyer blood smell like defeat and stds?
LGR!!
What time is it boys and girls…..?
Also the strpper table cloth comment was comic genius. Also id love simmonds on the rangers.
IT IS GO TIMEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
IT IS TIME for 3 priods of rock ‘em sock ‘em Rangers hackey!!!!!
LETS GO GOOOOOOOOOOO !!!
go gog go gogg go gog go goggog!!!
LETS GO RANGERS !!! LETS GO RANGERS!!!! LETS GO RANGERS!!!!!!
about time, Manny.
Greg, excited?
Tostitos and Shelley epitomize elite offensive skills.
And by “offense” I mean thuggery. And by “skills” I mean lack of skating ability.
this game is going to be nasty.
Rangers start Nash-Richards-Gaborik, so Flyers counter with no thugs … until the second shift.
I just don’t see how it plays to any of their strengths, Carp.
this should be fun
Is this an Original Six or a Rivalry matchup? I want to make sure I’m dressed accordingly.
to bad we don’t still have big John Scott
Anyone know what radio station the game is on tonight espn NY is playing the Knicks game
Blacked out! Thanks Ed Snider.
Rangers got to keep their discipline. Not in the mood for any Peco Power Play.
Over / under on fights tonight? I’m going with 3.
Is there any way to switch to the MSG feed on hockey streams? Halp!
You read way too much into it, Adam. That’s my point. He might get a lot more open ice with the big guys working the boards. He might be able to take a chance playing with more defense-minded linemates.
What he needs to do is use his speed to force turnovers in the offensive end.
Somebody left the gate open!
WBBR 1130 AM, Dunfs.
Got to watch this one in SD (woe is me etc…)
Probably a good thing if Shelley and Tostitos are getting face time though.
lets face it, bickel is there for one thing tonight and one thing only, to fight, same goes for newbury. Sesito and Shelley can’t play hockey, the only type of hockey they know is slapshot hockey.
BIG GAME CARP , Flyers haven’t won yet and i’m hoping they keep losing. No Jagr , No chance.
The staged fights are ok with me but I’m wonder why the players don’t use UFC smaller type gloves when they fight. I never thought i’d ever say this but bare knuckle fighting is so ’ 70 hockey…like SLAP SHOT. I love the blood and stuff but seriously if i was gettting paid a million , getting hurt in the fight could make me miss icetime and my spot in the line up. Punching in the face is all cool but it kinda seems barbaric with no type of gloves or protection.
We need another gergentree, Greg.
Let’s Go Rangers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Evening gang.
Let’s make the Flyers 0-4.
cmon Stepan. our second line better start producing
next shift fireworks?
I really like Pyatt’s work down low…He’s very good in front of the net…strong on his skates…
STuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
and we are off…
There’s one…
Piece of chicken carcillo that Tostitos is…
A BICKLE BEAT DOWN!!
I wonder if Sesito liked that knucle sandwich by Bickel.
bad news for Rangers … Tostitos won’t be on the ice for the next five minutes.
Knockout?
That was a good hit… and the Rangers had an odd man rush up the ice… not sure that was smart by Bickel
Love that the hartnelling Hattnell is out for most of season! Great evening all!
Greg, you need more enthusiasm
Stuuuuuuuu with a wicked arse kicking of Sestito!
Tostitos instigated?
Wow, if anything, I thought Bickel gets the instigator.
Good call. (LOL)
well, Sesito at least is gone for the first period.
Did slats check into whether George mc phee was available to drop the gloves tonite Carp?
YUCK. Flyers announcers on NHLN
Sestito just ate some justice with prairy oysters
So now how many guys have fought Tostitos? Dubinsky, Prust, Bickel … did Rupp? Or anybody else last year?
Very undisciplined so far.
I got out late and I’m on the bus. The only place I can find the game is the flyers broadcast. Vomit. Who won the fight? And who got what penalty? Did Bickel get ejected?
As soft as last night’s boarding call against Boston.
What a stupid rule.
Start the game with a BS call. Tere is a surprise.
Bickel won the fight and got 2-5-10 for instigating we think … but they announced it incorrectly. Bickel definitely started it and won it.
My post didn’t have anything to do with the non-penalty that was called a penalty.
I see Philly has adopted the Devils “turn your back at the last second to draw a boarding penalty” philosophy.
Rupp fought Shelley last year
Good start so far, other than the weak-call penalty.
is it me or does flyer bruno gervais’ name
just sound
like someone who
used to be an old school
wrestler?
like someone who
would have been pummeled
by Andre the Giant
Must win game…got friends there bravely wearing Rangers jerseys
Simmonds’ last second back turn was praised by the Flyers radio color guy.
So now somebody needs to drill Giroux.
I love my Stu
Carp, that would make my night
Grossman hit needs to be answered
Grossman….......or Giroux must bleed after that crap.
carp, exactly, time to bury Girioux.
And no roughing or interference on that hit?
Gaborik is going to score tonight. When he gets bumped around he gets jacked up…
These guys are terrible. First said fight was between Sestito and Stu Barnes. Always pronounce V in Lundqvist. Just terrible.
Color guy is Chris Therien. Lost respect for him, not that I had much
Carp
Can you text Torts to relay to the team that the game has already started?
Carp “So now somebody needs to drill Giroux.”
I like the way you think… and they should make Giroux uncomfortable.
Richards doesn’t look right
wow, rangers look like there skating on sand.
I had no idea Nash was so good in his own end.
Carp, i want to make my star selection but THE KREIDER is not available.
Time to play in their end for awhile.
I like that Nash goes to the net.
This game is making me thirsty…..am I missing something, cause something seems to be missing…..
I think the Flyers are a little amped at home and being 0-3. But, if this is the best they’ve got, it’s going to be a good night for us.
That Blake Griffin commercial makes me laugh “But all you do is dunk in that game!”
Gravy – don’t forget, the Flyers are missing a few of their regulars.
I guess a slow start is to be expected. I predict a goal on this shift.
Won’t defend the Flyers broadcasters for anything else, Doodie, but Lundqvist should be pronounced with the V. It’s everyone who says Lunkwist who’s wrong.
Carp totally agree. Giroux should be drilled by someone too..
That only works in the Rangers’ favor.
KING!!!
Has anyone else noticed the clock/score graphic in the top left seems to be missing the top? Wondering if it’s my Tivo/TV or if it’s MSG…
Come on, we need to send the puck through the big hole in the universe
Girardi must have Matt Read in his fantasy team.
COME ONE RICHARDS! WIN A FACEOFF!
Is the “q” in Lundqvist silent?
12 1/2 minutes of play and zero from our boys.
LW, I think RangerSwede would agree…..that’s why it’s easier for us Yanks to say Hank….:)
zero, except for the first shift.
You almost have to do it in purpose to be this bad on faceoffs.
Not looking good thus far… no flow to the Rangers game. Call a timeout Torts!
huh? thought McD touched puck
oh well…here comes trouble
Great job blocking shots even with their sustained zone pressure.
This is dreadful. Beaten to every puck.
Hank looks sharp so far, good positioning and making saves look easy.
How many mistakes by Girardi and McDonagh so far?
Dial it!!
Rough night for them, LW.
rangers are really pissing me off!!! Did these guys train at all during the lockout? The rangers can’t make 1 friggin pass, everything is a weak flip of the puck along the boards.
What a horrible period so far. Newberry is clearly making a difference in this game. They are dead out there, and I dont want to hear about back to back crap. This is just the fourth game of the season.
Official stats say no giveaway by Girardi on that earlier play. Must’ve been intentional then.
LW, you are incorrect re: Lundqvist. He himself has said it’s pronounced Lundqwist. Therefore, v is wrong.
Hockey Night Live … so no postgame Saturday. But Buffalo updates.
Fedostinko.
I just realized that Rupp took Dubinsky’s old number.
Czech, what makes you think they’d ever use back-to-back as an excuse?
If Richards continues to play poorly will Torts nail him to the bench?
Me thinks the team could use a little red bull in the intermission. They seem a little slow on the uptakes today.
Not a good shift for Gaborik-Stepan-Pyatt against the Tostios-Shelley line.
Richards can do nothing wrong.
Manny, can you repost the 10 reasons so I can pick what the problem is?
Manny, can you repost the 10 reasons so I can pick what the problem is?
This first period has felt like two….wtb?
WTF was that McDonagh?!
Wow. We won a face off.
Just hold until the bell.
Hank did his job, kept them scoreless. Fully expect them to come out flying in the 2nd.
I don’t know 0-0 and somebody beat up Sestito. I’d say that’s a great period.
“Richards can do nothing wrong.”
There’s actually some truth to that…but I do remember Torts putting Richards on the 3rd/4th lines for a couple of games last year…
Yeah, but his leash is longer than anybody else’s.
I will say this. Looking at the bright side, the rangers looked slow, sloppy, basically horrible but the flyers, for a team who haven’t won yet at home and supposedly a good offensive team, didn’t impress me either.
... so is his contract.
Does playing the “right way ” mean only passing the puck or flipping it along the boards?
Does playing the ” right way” mean not having a plausible offensive strategy?
Does playing the ” right way” mean having two sometimes three fourth lines out on the ice?
I swear, sometimes I really dont get it.
boring
Grr. Can’t deal with hockey streams buffering every 2 minutes. How do I watch the game??? SO frustrating!
LOL, true, Carp.
Pfft, stupid Swedopånsies can’t read their own language, Doodie.
Most Euros are too polite to complain about having their name Anglicised anyway.
Sally, if it’s buffering every two minutes, all you missed was a couple of Ranger dump ins between the Flyers owning the Rangers zone.
Carp
I was referring to Sam and Joe. I know the players wouldn’t. Sam has already mentioned back to back at least a half a dozen times.
Gravy, I’m okay with missing that. Just don’t want to miss Stu Barnes fighting.
Strategy
No intermission show for me tonight. Can somebody post all the best bits from the MSG150 please?
love that Eddie Money commercial…..no teeth and all
?? ???? ???
LOL at Paul MacLean’s twin
LW, Pidto had some interview footage from the Paul McLean lookalike and a put a tweet on the screen from Joffrey Lupul….those were the standouts for me…
??????? ???????
Nice of
Bill Pidto
to show us
the interview
with Paul MacLean’s
doppleganger.
LW3H , I’d love to use a gergentree for this game but I dunno how the Ranger gods are feeling tonight …
RAAAAAAAAAAANGERS you can do it!!!
Flyer suck so bad our team just want to lull them to anutha loss.
Heinie looks like he’s on his game tonight.
Wow, sounds like Pidto is right on top of the news from two days ago. Sad to have missed it.
Sally, come to Rochester and watch the game on my couch??
i put Rangers Radio on
so i don’t have to listen to flyers announcers
during NHL Network broadcast
first time in a loooooooooong time
radio/tv are in sync
(actually radio is 1/2 second ahead)
BUT
now the radio sounds
like i’m listening on a terrestial AM station
where something else bleeds in
(here Knicks broadcast under Rangers)
UGH!!!!!!!
DOPPLEGANGER
Mickey! If I could get there in time I totally would! Haha, thanks for the invite, gal :)
doppleganger
Flyers have signed Mike Knuble??
Hey, maybe Torts and Sully can suit up being that only six forwards are being played this game?
Looks like we are down to 2 lines now.
torts about ready to start shuffling
Wow – way to burn the guys out Torts…
Del Zotto seems to get beat to a lot of pucks in the corner… is this on purpose?
Get the puck out!
jody shelly never trust a guy with 2 girl names
Nice save by Universe.
a perfect example of Boyle’s”hockey instinct” there
Nice move Stepan. Way to cut to the middle! good shot.
So, he’s not supposed to try to force some of the play in the offensive zone, right? Supposed to keep rolling out Rupp and Newbury and Halpern, etc? Well, forced the Flyers to use a timeout and got the No. 1 line against the thugs. But the coach has no idea what he’s doing.
How does the body language look, Carp?
Taylor Pyatt = Greatest deal in the NHL (right now)
Let’s says there’s a Torts look alike behind the bench, and things aren’t going well-does Torts try to kick his own ass?
Pyatt with another great forecheck and shot in front – kids playing well
where is everybody?
Hank is keeping this scoreless… come on guys!
Mad skillz from Tostitos!
I know its like the excitement put them to sleep. Nice save King!!
KING HENRY
WHAT – A – SAVE !!!
Man, Lundvquist is good. I hope ranger fans epreciate this guy. They don’t come around often.
You mean where is everybody on the ice? In the Phlyers arena? Or around here, Carl?
Yeah Rupp has been great Joe. Lets play him on the first line now.
Wayne Ruppzkey! Rules baby!
Here. Where’s Orr? Where’s Linda? Where’s Izzy? Missing a lot of regulars lately … and I’m not happy.
Someone needed to get giroux there, WTB?
I come to realize that the newberry line sucks…bigtime!! WE need more players!!! AA and Dubinsky were awsome 3rd liners!!! Still rather have Nash , other better STEP IT UP!!
GO RANGERS!!!!!!
Ray Lewis in 30 years as pitch man for Corner Furniture – WTB
Was on the phone.. did I miss anything?
Not sure how Pyatt was undrafted in our league, but glad I got him before the game…
Sorry for the fantasy talk. Done.
Nice to see Hagelin using his speed there to create a scoring opportunity. Hope
TheKreider was watching.I was going to vote for mcilrath but he isn’t listed
Bad shift….
Are the flyers on a game long powerplay?
And…...ugh. Super ugh.
The Captain should have dumped the puck deep.
that goal against can be traced to
Cally’s
AWFUL AWFUL
non-dump in flyers zone
Richards is horrible in own zone but Cally had to get that puck deeper
Or maybe I should get back on the phone with Dad..
Richards has to block that shot
another stupid cross ice pass at the Flyers blue line costs the Rangers a goal. Cally should have dumped that puck deep so the Rangers could have changed.
balls.
Mcdonut needed to put Simmonds on his butt
Game over.
Nothing Heinie could do about that. Bad luck.
This is where an established forecheck might come in handy.
Season over.
Well, that’s what happens when you get outhustled and outmuscled.
Confetti? Pathetic.
confetti? really?
Home team should get delay of game penalties for cooke like that.
God….more proof the Phlyers suck.
Gaborik is useless…looks like the next buyout candidate :)
Geez, the Rangers just look slow tonight. No umph whatsoever.
CCCP – I was going to say the same thing about Rupp
Struggling to even gain possession of the puck
Damn! Snozberries is a punching bag!
Newbury’s 5 minutes of fame.
VISOR Fighter. Grossman is a
what ever happened to the rule about fighting with a face shield on?
Newbury should stick to whatever it is that he does…
Time and Tye McGinn.
Kolarik would have dropped him in that fight!
How do you fight with a face shield???
Running only 2 lines this period? Yeah, the Rangers don’t miss the likes of AA, Dubi, Mitchell, Feds.. (eye roll)
Wy did these guys bother to make the trip down? They are being outworked all over the ice.
I guess fighting with a visor on is a display of bravery.
“Visors are for Europeans and Soft Guys” – Tanner Glass
This team is in trouble
newberries effectively cutting up fists with his chin
1-3 baby
what freakin penalty? oy
well Newbury
is the latest Ranger
to offer his face
as sacrifice
to his team
ugh!!!
when was the last time that we actually had 1 or 2 legit fighters on our team?
sheeeesh!
So no high-sticking or visor penalties? Weak.
Wait….what? Why is Bickel in the box!?
I notice the flyers take that final stride to hit a ranger after the puck is gone and the rangers just won’t
That’s BS. If you wear a visor you should essentially be fair game. For basically everything…boarding, visor grabbing, etc…
listening to the Flyers’ feed, going crazy over this fight. He’s wearing a visor for crying out loud. How do you respect that sh*t?
nice penalty – moron.
rupp please retire
fudgenuts.
Big trouble
No one clearing the crease yet again
What? No confetti this time?
Boyle can’t clear the zone to save his life.
how did Cally not clear zone? they looked tired
bot never seen newbs cost his team like that, at least this week.
Do you think they’ll send Newbury back to Hartford between the second and third periods?
at this rate
Hank’s gonna be
the Archie Manning of hockey
Here’s an idea….....let’s continue to allow 3 Flyers to stand around in front of Hank with zero consequences.
As I told you guys, snozzberries cut from the same mold as weise and Byers….can not fight
Bottom line: The Philth wants this win more than we do.
there’s the excuse.
I have to say. I have been and NYR fan since the Whale left and also briefly had Blue Jackets partial season tickets when I was in Ohio for school. This team is kind of reminding me the 2009-2011 Blue Jackets. No discipline and not great defense, which in turn leads to a lack of offense. I am really beginning to doubt the Nash trade. Think we may have given up too much.
Stranger – tired. What do you think, this is the playoffs?
flyers with 27 shots already. woof.
Oh good Adam Gravey ….I may boudreau any minute now….
Lw
Lmfao @ mcginn
torts needs to go!!! j/k carp!! i had to
In a few games Nash will regret green lighting that trade.
Merely stating facts Carp. You can see how bad the Orange Crud want it here.
And play 2 lines for the second period of a back to back set.
yeah, i know we’ve lost grit this year
but the new skill isn’t overpowering
thug hockey
maybe we should forfeit the next week’s
worth of games and get some practice
This team under Torts has yet to play a full 60 minutes game…new year same issues.
We could use Reddon and Gomez
Pull Hank. Gotta go empty net here!
I think this game will go to OT. Just sayin
Surprised how bad the effort is
The MSG guys said Redden is a “good man”, but did not say the same about Gomez.
Due to the lack of physicality from the rangers D again in this game, an opposing teams 4th line looks like all stars
This team is so different from last year.
My god the Rangers are sleep walking. It’s not even a matter of slop, there is no battle in this team tonight
With that said 20 minutes of hockey can beat this team.
Well, how bout that game last night?
Brutal.
No offensive presence or pressure. AT ALL.
JBytes….they obviously don’t like Alaskan’s
Wicky – no one ever clears the crease! That’s why we need McTHEWrath!
Just wow. They are struggling to execute
djk- ur stating an opinion, not facts.
DJK January 24th, 2013 at 8:39 pm
Bottom line: The Philth wants this win more than we do.
Getting pinned in by a skeleton crew
Duguay looks like an on the make lounge singer on a senior citizen cruise ship.
Rosie Cheeks on with John G!
Is Hollweg on his way yet?
SHOTS ON GOAL: 28-13
I know the Rangers want to do what’s best for Kreider’s development. Excuse me, Torts, but doesn’t he need to put on his big-boy pants in the NHL?
Manny
Not anywhere close to enough physicality by the d
Pyatt having a good game, Kids a keeper
they miss Kotalik
remember when we said” if only we had an actual legit first line”? well now we do. and nothing else eithjer. ok wait, we have the goalie too. 1 good line and a great goalie. bam.
I pray that they don’t mess with Kreider’s head in the same way the Yankees messed with Joba Chamberlain….
Totally with you (As usual) Wick.
Wick….. txt
Coos – who lost his voice about 10 years ago.
were ottawa circa 2007 but with a better goalie
Wade Reden sighting…holy moly
We will know soon, NYR. If Kreider breaks his ankle, gets a DUI, gets Tommy John, becomes totally white trash and gets fat.
Kreider is learning a lot by watching this game! He’s learning what NOT to do!
Yeah, Wicky, text
BUSH-LEAGUE = NYRANGERS
What a bunch of no-talent clowns.
Sappy – NO Txt
The worst thing so far is that the awful “Somebody left the gate Oooooopen” commercial made a comeback. WHY!?
I’m just saying. Couturier is out there dominating our guys and he’s 19.
Mannu, I DON’T WANT YOUR TEXTS.
Habs killing the caps
Sorry, just turned 20
The prust brining the mojo
Sappy—I would NEVER txt you. NEVER!!!!!!!
We’re due for a year like this. Remember? We Are The NY Rangers!!!
Just got home….was listening on the radio, and it has been brutal – Dave & Kenny are tearing the team some new buttholes…
Who the hell is Benn Ferriero!?
cant watch the game but skimmed over the comments… sounds like we’re playing great. Not really. If Kreider cant handle being forced to watch how to play (like Hagelin was for example) kid has bigger issues than just not keeping his head up during the game. Maybe Girardi can teach him how to grow a pair if he gets his feelings hurt. The way he has played and the way that he is expected to play are so far away from each other right now.
And goodbye, Chad Kolarik – we never knew ye….
Let’s see…Torts pre-game checklist…
(1) make sure wings are always way too deep in the defensive zone to cover points and do anything constructive when clearing the puck
(2) make sure to instruct everyone NEVER to carry the puck into the attack zone – always dump it in
(3) NEVER…and I do mean NEVER, attempt to use our speed
Safe is death….please…he has become Roger Neilson II
Lev——better to comment when you actually watch the game. Nobody would want to emulate Girardi tonight.
highlight so far is Corner Furniture commercial
first post of the night
this team is brutal to watch. stepan has digressed. torts is afraid to play more then 6 guys and its game 4. and brian boyle is completely lost without prust. the 4th line is garbage no matter who rotates in and out.
something is missing and if that is prust feds and mitchell and we cant overcome depth guys we arent winning crap.
so disgusted and i didnt even mention del zaster tonite
Lev: Kreider isn’t learning anything by watching this game! (at least thus far). They are playing very poorly. Flyers have owned the puck for the majority of the game.
Mannu, well GOOD
Kreider has done nothing again tonight. :-)
ARE YOU KIDDING ME ! Tort’s is worried about Krieder ? with this display of weak, puck chasing , scrambling to try to find puck hockey . I swear these guy’s are afraid to make mistakes . The process ? Tort’s kiss my process

DECLINE.
Jimbo, Dave & Kenny should give Sam & Joe some pointers on “just telling it like it is”
Where is the hobbit wizard?
That was some nice hustle to prevent the odd-man rush..
Sam can’t even count anymore. it was a 3 on 1
NYR,
carrier pigeonMVP
Well, at least Pyatt can score.
PYAATTTTTTTT~!!!!!!!!!! A POWER PLAY GOAL1!!!!!
PYATT! POW!
Anybody jumping back on the bandwagon now? don’t hurt your ankles.
PYATT!!
Wow – nice recovery by gaborik and pass to Pyatt. This doesn’t happen unless NASH hangs on to the puck and draws 2 guys to him along the boards.
Taylor Made!!
What a pass by Gabby!
PIE-ATE
Gaborik is tired of scoring, he prefers getting the helper.
your hilarious Carp!!
Carp you’re as quick to criticize fans as they are to criticize players.
The lateral passes at the blue line need to stop.
Papa Bear, you are absolutely right! Dave especially does not pull any punches when he’s commenting on the NYR team..
I am all about the TP….
Man. All time dis-feat going on in here now!
Jeff did you read some of the ridiculous comments. You’d think they were the Islanders, hadn’t made the playoffs in years, and no chance this year.
Come on Rupp. Keep the damn puck.
Cmon Joe….The hit to Girardi was clean and not high.
2013 Rangers: Where Taylor Pyatt is tied for the team lead in goals.
Boyle can’t catch a perfect pass on his tape.
Carp, they aren’t playing well. They got a power play goal… but they haven’t looked very good all game.
Sally, the hobbit is in Russia playing for Paul Maurice as a member of Metallurg Magnitogorsk.
It’s especially painful when you put it that way, Mickey…... :(
When oh when is Boyle going to HIT someone!?
One more goal they get the point. Don’t be shocked when it happens
Carp we waited 4 months for this crap.
Nash is the real deal… and one of the few guys that doesn’t chip the puck in when there is a d-man in front of him. I like the fact that he carries it in and keeps control of the puck.
You know the stuff I’m talking about Papa.
It’s a matter of time.
Ugggh
dumb penalty.
Said it before, I’ll say it again..going to be the longest short season ever.
LOL. Torts is all SIGH, YOU IDIOTS.
Calm down people. We are going to be FINE.
Rangers need to send one of their enforcers out to take some more hits to the face. Grossman’s been pretty rough with Gabby tonight.
END OF SEASON.
An actual human being just typed “The Return of Noobs” and put it on a real live professional sports broadcast.
Maybe they should fire the NYU Club Coach who ran training camp. He took the starch out of them.
Girardi’s kid wearing the Call My Agent t-shirt: classic!
How was Boyle’s nickname ever Big-Rig!?
Come on Pyatt!!! Do it again.
NICE. 4 minute PP.
anybody want to bet on this faceoff? Win or lose?
END OF TIME
Win.
What is going on.
Are the Flyers going to self destruct now? Oh no… the dreaded 5 on 3!!!
5
On
3
Flys deconstructing!? Let’s hope so!!!!
Dave doesn’t pull any punches, but he doesn’t want anyone throwing them either
OK. Rangers have an big opportunity to capitalize here…LGR!!!
It’s the game right there.
Let’s see if they can screw this one up.
Must score 5 on 3, but i bet refs will take this one back with a quick penalty on us.
DECLINE THE PENALTY !!!
decline decline
This will make me very happy or boudreau.
PUT A DAMN DEFEENSEMAN ON THE 5 ON 3!!!
We need a Chris Neil type
Richie …. To the bench please.
We’re rehabilitating Bryzgalov!!
For hartnelll’s sake…....
Need to get Pyatt out there on the 5 on 3.
Rangers have had a 5 on 3 in every game so far.
Barf.
MDZ – go back 2 sleep.
Ugh, just ughhhhhhh
They had chances on the 5 on 3.
They deserve to lose this game. God almighty do they suck. Can’t even shoot on goal
Can’t blame Richards failing miserably at the point on the 5-on-3 on anyone other than Richards and the coaching staff for keeping him there inexplicably.
Epic Fail
I’m with you Sally….boudreau
PATHETIC POWER PLAY.
Is Perry Pearn still running our power play???
That’s disheartening.
I am shocked. Our PPs need to be the focus of every practice from now until the next game! We have 5 on 3s every game and yet have 1 5 on 3 goal!
Did I mention the absolutely EPIC level of that FAIL?
Say goodbye to two more points.
TWO Shots…
what an absolute disgrace of a pp. put some freaking def that will shoot from the point.
god this team is making freaking ill
What a bunch of crap.
still going to tie it after that mess
No accountability for whomever runs the power play. Inexcusable 5 on 3.
Can we make the “Starts of the Game” the “Scapegoats of the Game” when we lose?
Del Zaster is killing us. How many giveaways can the kid have in 2 minutes?
Stepan value is getting lower every shift.
Halpern, Gabby and Pyatt – wow
Same old same old.
How about watching the penguins play 5 on 3 PP. They score everytime.
Big torts supporter up until now.
How does Boyle and Rupp get ice time and Kreider goes packing.
Clean house and bring back mike keenan!!!
What is Sam friends with everyone but Gomez??
enough with richy on the point of the pp. put staal mac stralman someone that think shot first
why no Stralman on PP, do ot like Richards at pt , waaaay too much standing around
What a pathetic power play. They have zero creativity. Can’t believe how little Nash touched the puck during that 4 minutes. Torts just keeps putting the ssme clowns out there. Stepan looks lost. Why why why?
see that comment. that’s what i’m talking about.
will say it again this roster is top heavy. no depth and it will show
Let’s stop trying to make the perfect pass everytime.
ot
What a waste…
someone anyone explain to me what stepan and hagelin do. they have speed ZERO FINISH
it’s more what they don’t do … or haven’t done.
POWER PLAY BLOWS CHUNKS!
As I said last year, this team is not a real contender with this kind of power play. Too many games given away. For the love of god, get Richards off the point.
except they were a real contender last year.
lots of anger here…..geez
Funny, Islanders scored 7 goals tonight against the Maple Leafs. Rangers probably will score one Saturday.
how bout someone else take draw
No stars votes for me tonight…Pyatt gets only one I guess …major sigh…..
can Horseteeth win a faceoff?
What’s the point? They can’t win a faceoff in the attacking zone!!
if we can take anything out of this game – we won alot of faceoffs
Will Richards ever win a. Face off
not at the end.
hahaha 18 saves.
Blecch. On to Chicago.
taylor made a excellent try there. oh well flyers were desperate, we werent
its getting late real early around here.
watch all these media experts all over picking rangers win cup prob miss the playoffs
We should get a faceoff specialist like halpern or something, oh wait
Great..and good night. No mood for post game now…TA!
Waste of time…..
Carp – I just don’t see how you can win a championship with a below average pp. It has to win games for you occasionally. The hard work stuff only gets you so far.
I thought we added Halperin for faceoffs…..he’s stapled to the bench?????
So yeah. Bad at faceoffs. Terrible power play. No offensive presence.
But has anyone addressed the real problem yet? The lack of grit.
Points to Henrik & Pyatt… Why can’t I vote for The Kreider? One of his best games so far.
Sorry, that was mean.
i just hope that they can click like they did at parts of last game against the Bruins.
What an effing disgrace. 1 goal? The Flyers defense is atrocious! 1 goal?!
Whatever. Gonna go play lasers with my cats.
4 games of piss poor play ! yeah they won one . but totally out played & out coached in all 4 games . poor d poor puck ownership. Tort’s kiss my process
Pyatt the only star.
Stars up on Hawks 1-0 in the second.
our centers received a combined 1 vote
this is it. doesnt matter if you suck for 59 minutes. if its 2-1 and we score….anything could happen! :D
Team hasn’t had a lead once yet in a game this season during regulation time – not even for a minute…
anyone else feel like laughing? ahahahahahahaha! we suck!
Oh, Wait!! Yes we did – last night – but coughed up the 2 goal lead…
This is not the same team as last year.
Jimbo you might want to re-evaluate that statement.
Bah! Shut up, Jimbo…
I did, Jeff – I did!! Last night. I forgot!
We look like we did 5 yrs ago. No jam. No nothing as far as I can see. Love Nash in theory but he needs to start to finish. Thank you and arrive home safely.
They BETTER practice tomorrow. Please no “off” day. At least sit them down in the video room for a really long time or just practice faceoffs all day.
Flyers earned this one.
HNIC game on Saturday. 5 straight national games. That has to be a record.
Dal 2 Chi 0
88 pts left to earn. prob need 54 to make playoffs
someone put bill pidto out of my misery
who’s worse? Flys at 1-3 or Ranger at 1-3?
The right way= zero offense, hope LQ doesnt give up more than 1 goal and that your team scores two. It doesnt matter who this team puts out on the ice because they will still not produce anything of quality in terms of offensive chances. MSG can greatly increase their profit margin by trading all their high priced talent and just going with mediocre players because they produce no offense and they wont ever produce any offense until Torts remembers what he did with the bolts.
I think the best chance the rangers had late was when Nash skated in on a 2 on 2 (I think) and Nash made a beautiful pass to someone and instead of shooting they passed it back to Nash
Can i vote for lundqvist 3 times for the 3 stars poll?
Even though it was a loss, this looked more like a 2011-12 Rangers game than the first 3 games.
That was Pyatt Wicky. I’m glad someone else noticed that. You’d think he’d have some confidence having scored three goals now. Instead he passed it into a crowd for no reason.
ovie trade watch has begun.
Yea that Pyatt pass instead of shoot was pathetic. But whatever. He did score our only goal. We have to score in that situation.
Jeff
Ah, pyatt. It was a beaut of a pass, pyatt should have fired that.
ovie trade watch has begun.
More like Adam Oates getting fired watch has begun
seriously msg has beginnings on instead of post game show
Whatever. Can’t blame Taylor Pyatt for not scoring on a 5-on-3. Guy is overachieving like crazy in his young career here so far.
You have to blame Richards. He’s the point guy directing everything. Bring back Kovalev!
Anyone remember the days when you had to make sure your health insurance was all payed up before hanging out in front of the net?
Sharp gets a PP goal. Hawks down 2-1
Effing Genius Cooscoos.
Pyatt has been a pleasant surprise – one of only a few…
Thought, at least tonight I won’t have to listen to Doc, and Grumpy and ...whoever is on the wretched NBC broadcast. Was screaming at the tv tonight by the second period- Sam and Joe are horrible- ( maybe I should listen to the radio since I read earlier here that Kenny and Dave were ultra critical of NYR)- no clue what they are watching- Flyers took over game midway through the second- yeah as soon as the Rangers stopped using G-N-R every other shift. A lot of passengers here: Boyle? awful- Callahan? shockingly irresponsible… and on and on. BTW-5 on 3 has now changed personnel 100 % since Torts arrived and added 3 superstar players who were deadly on teams they came from- so how come it still stinks? Hmmm, what is the common factor here?
cooscoos
not on the rangers since beuk and ulfie were around (maybe a little kaspar time)
Phlyers signed Knuble for $700K!? That’s probably a better player than…..........
This Beginnings is really turning my frown upside down…
? Ovie trade watch has been on for a whole now.
Yes I’d take him.
while
Maybe after Oates gets fired we can bring him in to coach the power play
The St. Louis Blues announcer just called it the Tarasenkshow!!
The only quick hands on this team belong to Gabby and Nash. Since nothing else works, let ‘em practice some face offs and use them in critical situations.
That kid can flat out play, eh?
looks like it Manny
Mike Sullivan runs this joke of powerplay for three seasons and the results have been the same. They have no one on the point who is a threat to shoot the puck, and its killing them.
Several players have been awful through four games.
Cally ,Staal,MDZ, Richards, Stepan for 3 of the four, Hagelin, Boyle,Rupp(always awful),Halpern,LQ( 2 out of 4) and Torts.
Still not panicking yet but if this continues for another 8-10 games, the season maybe in in trouble.
That better put some pressure on Mcllrath to be the real deal (crease-clearing D-Man)
Wow. when things aren’t going well, everything looks worse.
A 2-1 loss. It wasn’t nearly that close. We should have lost 5-0. I don’t think that would change anything, but who knows. McDonagh even had some bad moments tonight, watching the puck instead of the guy in front of the goal.
We have some good material to review in practice now.
Right. And practice won’t begin until …....... Sunday? These back-to-backs are killing out practice routine.
No practice Tomorrow. Game Saturday. Practice Sunday.
Holy Crap. Bel Biv Deveaux sighting on Beginnings!
Comment of the night, coos.
The St. Louis Blues announcer just called it the Tarasenkshow!!
yeah well… imagine how much more this Tarasenkshow will sting us when McIlBust (who was picked BEFORE Tarasenkshow) turns into a real bust…
PAP – 2 Goals
Nash – 1 Goal
When does the “fire Torts” posts start up?
Never thought I’d miss the lockout.
Doesn’t PA Parenteau make like…..way too much money now?
Already started Voice. I should post a cleaned-up version of the knuckleheaded Avery lover whose post was blocked for language last night. One of the most brainless anti-Torts comments ever.
Girardi scores a goal on Beginnings and is immediately hugged by: Prust, Dubinsky and Fedotenko. Oops.
Please do share that stuff, Carp! It sounds great. We get most of our amazing and never-ending blog jokes from idiots jackwagons.
OK. Here it is, somewhat cleaned up:
This is tha saaaaaaaaame old garbage with this bum , we have ZERO shot with this coach. Game THREE and the bench is already shortened, and this dope has ruined Kreider already, How the f does Boyle keep getting ice time ? The kid has to watch that absolute bum and say to himself, if I’m not better than him….........also year SIX, SAME OLD GARBAGE POWER PLAY!!!!!!!! Rupp, Pyatt, Asham,(I know he didnt play but f him get this cheap shot garbage off my team, same as signing Brashear and hiring Trottier, fn joke) Devils draft Mattaeu last summer in the lineup already, and hacking away in front of the net, our guys spend 4 yrs in hfd, and then TORTD…..BAG says Brandon Segal 50 yr old career minor leaguer earned a shot opening night, but then he plays 5 mins.
The Ottawa Senators (that people were calling a CRAP team) are 3-0. Prust Sayin’......
Only good thing to come out of a losing streak, are the anti’Torts/Delusional Avery lovers.
Not for nothing, didn’t NYR play pretty crappy to open up last season? Started 1-1-2, if I’m not mistaken.
Tort’d! That’s a great Verb that we can take from that brilliance. Absolute Bum.
Sens haven’t had to face the Pens & Bruins in their three games though, Manny. I’m sure they’d be 0-3.
Man. Thanks for that Carp. And now….. I retire for the evening…
LOL @ Tort’d.
Blaming Torts? He’s a pussycat. Bobby Knight would have them doing two hours of wind sprints after the game at the Wells Fargo Center in the dark, and then bill the players for the ice time.
Night all. Talk to youz tomorrow.
I know Tort is unassailable here…. but the power play issues are on the coaching, and although Tort doesnt run the power play, someone needs to be held accountable.
Faceoffs take practice. It’s not some unearthly skill that only few have, it just takes practice.
Been reading all these remarks about Torts tonight and it makes me laugh. The PP struggles are on the organization and not Torts. It’s been the same way since they traded Zubov almost 20 years ago. That is the last time they had a legit PP point threat. Even in the pre lockout All Star Reunion tour of the early 2000’s they spent 70 mil on has beens like Fleury, Bure, Lindros, Messier (sorry but the 2nd time around was not good) even then they didnt have a legit point man. Do they watch Chara in BOS, Doughty in LA, Keith and Seabrook in CHI, Letang in Pitt. They dominate the game. Oh look at that they all won the last 4 Cups. NYR will never take next step without it. Girardi, Staal and McD are all very solid 2 – 3’s but you need Norris trophy level D to win. Heck, Markov back healthy in MTL (3 goals already) and look at that they dont stink as much.
Awaiting moderation? I knew I shouldn’t have mentioned Bobby Knight.
So.. Trade everybody time yet?
We don’t have a Chara, Doughty, Keith, or Letang. None of the guys on this team can “dominate” like they do, offensively, anyway.
What team has the won the CUP in the 2000’s that didn’t have a Norris Trophy level defenseman?
The answer is 1. The 06 Hurricanes did not have an elite defenseman. That is it. Even the 04 Lightning Dan Boyle had 40 pts and Kubina had I believe almost 20 goals.
That’s fair, but what Norris type D-man was on the other team that was in the finals last year?
He’s not unassailable. It is on him. But it’s on Richards too. His boy.
Chicago ties it up. A Power Play goal.
By the way, it’s no accident the Isles actually look ok right now with Mark Streit back in their lineup. Sorry, but in the entire NYR organization they don’t have a defensemen better overall than him. Yes, he isn’t as strong defensively as our 3 guys but the difference between his offensive abilities far outweighs his defensive drop off.
If u grade from 1-10 our top 3 all would rate abt. a 8/9 defensively and about a 4 offensively. Hes about 8 offensively and about a 6 defensively.
”...amazing and never-ending blog jokes…”
I’ve seen a raft of the never-enders; where might I find at
least a glimpse of the amazin’?
Carp – The Devils didn’t have one but Kovalchuk’s shot on the PP was able to mask it better. That’s why your Richards point is very accurate. They want Richards to mask not having a legit point man then he has to be more assertive.
Saw Wade Redden clear the crease in St. Louis tonight. Seriously, it happened.
Maybe, just maybe, McDonagh, Staal or somebody else might develop into a somewhat legit, dare I say even good, point man if they would just get Richards off of there.
Carp – Although with that being said, I don’t agree with Torts saying he needs more from his top guys, unless he’s including Hagelin, Stepan and Boyle in that group. Very hard to win with just one line as other teams can match their 1-2 defense against that. NYR best bet would be to split up Gabby and Nash but can’t because Stepan not playing like a 2nd line center.
I was never a fan of putting a forward at point on the PP. Just lets the opposing team know they won’t be shooting from the point and encourages the penalty killers to take chances on a SHG.
H’mmmm, nobody’s holding you here.
Great point. Was thinking same thing myself about McDonagh. They don’t even give him a chance at it. To me, and u see him in practice so you’d know even better, he looks to be the most complete of the 3 in terms of skating, movement etc. Why not try it. Can’t say because it’ll add to his mins. because I’ll say, “Good, get more reliable 5-6 guys.”
Olga, how do you feel about Michal Rozsival on the Hawks?
Hossa in OT Chicago Wins!
John Mitchell with his second goal. Ha!
Franklin Delano Roszival?
Old gum legs isn’t doing too bad, in a limited role.
I don’t like the five forward PP either. The forwards can’t hold it in at the point, because they aren’t any good at it.
Lol, Olga.
Gum legs is probably the funniest, and most accurate, description I’ve heard of old number 3, that was number 33, that is number 32.
Oh God, here we go once again about what we need who we need who has better players. Where was this talk when they were winning at a clip last year? What this team needs is for even 3/4 of their players to play to their potential and they’re going to pull a 180 out of this. They look sloppy. They look unsure. They look…well like a team that started mid season without a real training camp. Say what you want about 29 other teams being in the same boat but Torts preaches his camp torture in order for them to play within the system that made them successful under his watch thus far. So yes, He needs more out of the top guys on the team- and Hwirth those do include names like Hagelin, Boyle and especially Stepan . Those are the guys that made this team a meal before Sather served up the Nashed potatoes. catch my drift? They start playing better and suddenly line combos fall into place and the team gets in sync.
PS Carp- has this PP not be painful to watch already? Man mid season, pre season off season, apple picking season ski season. Are they contractually obligated to not put Nash at the front door of the crease and stop with this Jagr era perimeter passing?
I’ll agree that its too early to criticize ANYthing else but this has been a well documented saga. Starting to think one of those federal mediators from the lock out meetings could probably draw up a better PP than Sully.
The Rangers lost 6 of their first 9 games last season (3 of those loses were Bettman bonus points).
I’m not worried. Too much talent on this team to not finish in the top 6…
Oleo, thank u. Yours was exactly the kind of post I needed to read to calm down about these knuckle heads and their impressions of Randy Quaid in Major League 2! Gnight all!
The Rangers are 1-3. That’s like 7-21 in dog years. That’s Ruff.
Rick Nash played 24:54 and led all skaters.
WOW!
(Aside from Ryan McDonagh who played 25:34)
James – I won’t speak for other people but I’ve been talking about the Number 1 defenseman problem well, since Leetch starting getting on his last legs before being traded and it did cost them a chance to go all the way last year. A better PP might have shortened the 1st two series.
As for just assuming the team will be fine because they were fine last year. The reality is they are not the same team. They added a big time star (who has played very well – not complaining abt. him) and sacrificed a lot of their signature grit and team toughness. Prust will be a bigger loss than people are realizing. Better hope Asham gives them that physical lift because they don’t have the same defensive/forechecking integrity right now.
And again, I still think it’s all mute until they get the PP QB they’ve needed for years.
PP just has to do better… they are too predictable (as always)... Nash just standing on the side of the net wont do crap… Pyatt has been pretty hot lately and saw only last 30 sec or so of that long PP at the end… instead, Torts put Boyle out there… why?
Wow, that was disgusting. Me thinks it’s time to review the PP and faceoffs. Did we play 5 forwards on the 5 on 3 again?? I was one of Richards’ biggest supporters last season but this face off stuff cannot continue. I mean he lost them cleanly 3 times in a row at the end of the game to Claude Giroux. When Crosby entered the league he was one of the worst in the league. Now he is the best. It’s all about practice. They need Stepan and Richards to spend time practicing. This is where Id like Richards to show his leadership and admit that yes I need to lead by example and practice it.
Also, this game was much less physical than I and I think most expected. Last year we loved to play grind it out physical games. We needed to set the tone tonight and we didnt .
so if the faceoff thing and PP thing not getting better for a couple seasons now… is this on the coach?
i mean…who the fork is responsible?
A good PP takes a lot of pressure off other aspects of the game. Not just in scoring goals. Teams are less likely to take liberties with players if they know a killer PP awaits them. PP goals are such momentum swings, it can sting the opposing team for several minutes.
I can’t understand how the Rangers management can let such a lousy PP languish for so many years. They need to research and find the best PP coach in hockey. and pay him whatever he asks to fix their PP. That salary doesn’t go on the Cap so to NY, it’s only money. They have spent far more on a lot less…
NYR – Nash was double shifting in first and then with all the PP time he logged a lot of TOI in back to back games
bring back CABER!!!
oh, yeah. And FIRE SATHER! He’s responsible. 13 years and counting…
The Flyers are a badly flawed and injured team that I doubt will make the playoffs.
The Rangers played horribly, Henk kept them in the game, and they had huge opportunities to tie and win the game handily on all those PPs in the third. Could easily have won.
I’m not worried. Annoyed and frustrated, but not worried. yet.
Flyers really beat us at our own game. They were very solid defensively as a team and they blocked a lot of shots. Rangers really didn’t get quality scoring chances…
Olga for PP coach / GM / owner of the Rangers!
Just owner would do…
I do think the PP is on the coach at this point. I mean we’ve heard all this talk about them practicing the PP but obviously nothing has changed. At some point you need to look in the mirror and see that the current PP strategy isnt working and try something else. You cant get outworked to the puck when you have a 5 on 3. You just cant. And you cant have 2 shots on goal during PP time for about 5-6 minutes.
Aside from Nash the most positive thing about this year has been Pyatt and Im glad to see he has been rewarded with ice time. Now if only Stepan, Boyle, Kreider, and Hagelin would decide to play hockey we could be in business.
because it was against the filth with an opportunity to kick them when they are down, started getting frustrated, esp with 5 on 3. Stralman should be back there, hell, bickel should be back there before B Rich goes back there again.
put on your pie-hat, this kid can play
thank you bickel for pounding tostitos
got to score more than obe vs loafs, no?
gotta agree with Lev
need to bring SOMEONE ANYONE in
to coach the power play
because
the Torts/Sully method is NOT working
didn’t watch ALL of tonight’s game
had some stuff to do
and was too frustrated at them looking like
a team that’s playing with all the passion
and urgency of a scrimmage for a
share 12 pack of aged Schlitz beer
so
i missed the powerless 5 on 3
and the Pyatt goal
but
overall
if it’s anything like the past
it’s ALWAYS a problem of
too many Rangers NOT
moving around
and (hat tip to the Rodent)
pointmen moving down too low
which makes it easier for
opponents to defend
IF
we moved with any urgency
then it would look as if we have
ONE more man on the ice
than our opponent
but we Tra-La-La it round and round with the Board Hockey
til someone on the other team gets in the way and sends up ice.
UGH-Lee!!
The Leafs just lost 7-4 to the Islanders…i dont know if they have a game before they play us but i can imagine they wont be a pushover either. I am beginning to be concerned.
They can practice the PP all they want. If they don’t have a good plan to execute, practicing does no good. 5 forwards is a desperation move to find something that might work. Pick a shooter, put him in the high slot and feed him. Let him blast away until the goalie gives one up or gets chopped in half. When they get wise to that, move two guys down in front and screen the low shots from the point and look for rebounds.
Nevermind they obviously dont play again before playing us… i thought there was 2 days off between our next game. So im assuming theres no practice tomorrow and then we go to battle Toronto. Expect more of the same.
Oh ye and if Newbury is really the best Hartford has to offer we are in more trouble than previously thought regarding depth.
We should look into the availability of PK Slewfoot.
exactly, lev… so much talk about depth and? where is the depth?
...lots of dust in eyes
I want nothing to do with Slewfoot. He has talent, but needs a serious attitude and ego adjustment.
needs a serious attitude and ego adjustment.
what are planning to date him? lol
SlewFoot is mean…and this team lacks mean!
are you*
It’s all about chemistry, don’t you remember?
ChemistryI dont know CCCP, i dont follow AHL or anything like that but id love to know where JT Miller, Ryan Bourque, Christian Thomas, and others are.
Did not see the game. but no scoring depth. boyle is a 4th liner and newbury is a career 4th liner, and bickell has no purpose but sit the 21 year old with high end talent…
they need more scoring upfront especially since there d cannot score ever…
McIlrath = McIlBust thus far
