Game 14.
Capitals at Rangers.
First meeting of the season, the first since Game 7 of that second-round playoff series last spring, which included a triple-OT
Rangers win in D.C.
Rick Nash, who has an undisclosed injury (banged up) and Chris Kreider, who was recalled from Hartford in case Nash can’t play, both skated in warmups and it will be a game-time decision on which of them plays.
Henrik Lundqvist starts in goal. Stu Bickel is prucha’d.
J.T. Miller plays his sixth NHL game, which means the clock starts on his entry-level contract. Again, this has been a non-issue from the start.
The Capitals, who got off to a woeful 2-8-1 start, have won three in a row. They will be without D Mike Green, the QB of a potent power play, so ex-Ranger Tom Poti is expected to play in his spot.
Since people ask, John Amirante does his second straight national anthem tonight.

Man I feel for Kreider..
ENGBLOM!
Mulletblom
Do not stepan the logo.
Wow, 11 US born? Where is Don Cherry?
Yeah, Mickey, I don’t mind recalling him and demoting him after a span of several games in NYC/CT, but I hope this one game up/one game down is a rarity. Don’t want to mess with his head and pull a potential Nino.
Ever see a game yet on NBC where they didn’t open by saying “these teams don’t like each other?”
Jpg
Saw the who a couple of months ago,..... Surprisingly excellent especially Pete. Real good. Hank won’t get fooled again, sorry
A-MEH-REEK-A!

At least the No Brain Cabal is going to show Amirante! Finally !
Amirante!!
PS email, ilb
I am worried about my boy….but glad to see him out there…cheer em on and hold that note buddy! LGR!
Why does Hagelin wear Elton John’s retired number anyway?
Engblom got a big boy haircut?
Someone tell our Captain to tighten his chinstrap please
Adam Oates: First embalmed head coach at MSG since the Muckler days.
Why does Hagelin wear Elton John’s retired number anyway?
LMFAO! i literally choked laughing just now!
WTB?
Terrible coverage up high
Oh fug
and suddenly i’m not laughing anymore….
Hahahahahahaahahahhahaaha
Nice start
Nice to see the rangers didn’t come out flat, yea right!!!
Beautiful way to get started…NOT!
sit Gaborik
And there you saw the difference between Mdz and Carlson. One has a cannon, the other a bb gun.
Not one dman on this team has a shot. Amazing
nash needs to start scoring now. get going its been great having everything else he brings, but score some goals dude
lmao czech!
come on boys!
NBC sucks…
maybe Nash will get a hattie tonight. you’re right Grabby, he really needs to start finding the back of the net.
Carlson – 18 goals
Del Z – 23 goals
Del Z’s bb gun seems slightly better…
theyre tearing our defense apart
You said it Staal…....
Flavah explosion in the corner!
oh no a pp!!!
Decline
Oates looks like an extra in Boardwalk Empire.
NotPower Play time
I predict they’ll get more than one shot on this PP
lol what did nash leave the zone for.?
Richards is out there? we will score for sure
Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy is Richards StILL on the power play?
orr thats ballsy
There you you have it. Mr offensive force with an unforced error on the point.
Grabby…..just said the same thing re Nash…..love all of him….but um, goal please
Another PP! Weeeee!
60 minute effort boys. at least make it a 50 minute effort start now!
John Carlson is ten times, sorry a hundred times the player MDZ is.
lets get few more good looks on the next pp! lets make Torts happy and give him something to say about the pp in the post game! :)
?@rangersreport
Well, at least the Rangers didn’t wait until they got the lead before they began stick-checking in front of Lundqvist.
So far I’d actually take the Islanders vaunted defense…
Another NOTPower Play?? Time to get my laundry then..
Richards at the point again. That should work.
yes mama. i mean hes 7.8 mill player. hes got better linemates hes ever had. i’d love to see him break out right about now. hes a beast so go hulk out there nash!!
The ice looks fantastic.
Another Impotent Play.
Can’t even take advantage of the guy losing his stick!
Sesame Street was here right before the game … not that the ice needs an excuse to be bad.
This response from Jim Cerny made me laugh:
same lines RT @billymack1331: Getting sick of Torts changing lines every other game.let players work it out. Over coaching is bad coaching
LOL! That’s not a trip?
Richards is not only in effective, he is actually hurting the team with his presence on the ice.
Why would Callahan and NYR bench argue there should have been a penalty? It’s a blessing that they didn’t call the trip!
Nash with Pyatt & Boyle. It’s Columbus all over again…
wanna know why they suck on PP? BECAUSE THEY DO NOT SHOOT THE PUCK!!
Pitbull update…
This team NEVER shoots off the pass. I wish I understood why.
Not even a face wash after the chimera penalty? Show some backbone boys!!!
We need some grit on D badly!!
@rangersreport
Fan: “Ovechkin, watch out for the meteors.”
Dial it!
Dial it!
yea why richards? let him earn it back torts. i know hes his boy and all but cmon already. fire torts now!!
well, at least we cant get lazy sitting on a lead.
Some NHL team actually plays that Bud Light song after a goal. How embarrassing.
Mickey
Because non of the dmen can shoot the puck. None!
I’m with Wick. Someone needs to plaster Chimera.
what’s Torts saying?
Does Pitbull have shot anyone who doesn’t hold the Budweiser bottle with the label outwards at his parties?
lol “cant let our powerplay get us down”!!! holy god tort has given up
Wow! Those were Renneyesque comments by Torts.
These refs must be retarded. They call that, but not the trip on Cally?
Stay classy, New York Rangers fans.
Truth about meteor in Chelyabinsk… wise guys in Chelyabinsk are real deal. A girlfriend of one of those wise Chelyabinsk guys asked for a star from the sky…so… wise guys in Chelyabinsk get things done!
what??? trade strawuwlman now
The exact same thing that wasnt called when Cally was triped.
Oh. That’s a trip though? Terrible
We have good speed, like this and that….need to tighten up on the PP..
nice hit girardi!
I’d like to see Ray Lewis attend one of Pitbull’s parties in his white suit.
LOL @ that call.
that was a trip though????????
Dammit, Strawlman. Drop the stick when you trip someone, then it’s not called a trip.
why cant they play like this on the pp????
Halpern with shades of Nash….
Rangers exhausted themselves last year. Maybe the defense isn’t as good, but they are more fun to watch. That said, wouldn’t be surprised if they don’t make playoffs this year. Love NBC games… Anyone better than the MSG announcers.
Crowd noise??? Be still my heart!!!
Jeff Halpern…hell of a kill…
Rangers credited with 15 shots on Dryden Holtby already.
Put a blonde wig on Pitbull and introduce him to that blade runner guy.
they’re getting chances
This is like last year’s playoffs all over again with the way Holtby is playing
wow great plays boys!! keep it up. its only… gulp… holtby
lol ORR
Hand cuff Hank to the net. Nothing and I me nothing good happens when he plays the puck. UGH
I do not understand why gilroy is in the line up. An offensive guy who needs the flow of the game to contribute offencvely can’t get it with 5 minutes a night, might as well dress a third goalie.
Calling it now: Holtby with a 45 plus save shutout.
rutger hauer orr. weird dude
Taylor Pyatt back on second line. That should fix it.
No way we score more than 1 goal on Braden “The Dominator” Holtby
Hey RPI reference! I grew up literally 5 minutes from that campus!
Pansification.
wicky, i think bickel sucks. and he would only get 3 minutes a game. rather have gilroy. we might get some offense out of him. no chance bickel will. i know he fights. but still.
It’s actually 2-0 since Chimera hasn’t scored his automatic goal yet.
Oh ya, another NOTPower Play.
Carp, they call that “boarding”. What do they call what Lucic did to Nash? Nothing.
Still waiting for that Nash wrister to go in.
SHOOT!!
why is this game blacked out in AZ?
on game center
JTM kinda sucks on pp
Frustrating
mama, tiki, hrlp
Plenty of offensive chances. Should go in at some point in time.
Embarrassing PP. stubborn mulearrella continues to do the same thing over and over again.
I think it’s blacked out cause its on Outdoor Life Network
Wild idea here:
Maybe they should practice their power play?
I wish I could help, Anthony. No slingbox hooked up, and I cant get around Gamecenter blackouts on Ipad.
Keep the pressure on holtby will crack, no doubt
who gets the empty netter tonight guys? erskine? chimera? poti? j/k!!!. we’ll win. right mama?
I don’t see how Miller plays over Kreider.
Grabby
Bickel is not going to win the Norris or anything, but gilroy needs flow to get his offensive game going…hard to get IMHO in five minutes a game.
I think the rangers are waiting for mcilrath and his knee to improve and gilroy and his five minutes are history hopefully
tiki!!!
20 SOG?!
Nope. Holtby channels his inner Vladislav Tretiak against the Rangers.
I think the guy who counts the shots on goal is drunk. There is no way the Rangers have 20 shots on goal.
Crosby update
Looks like Milbury is freezing his Luongo, his Spezza and his Chara off.
John Karlson Edison NJ
They did have a lot of shots. Gaborik had three in a row, Halpern and Callahan had that short-handed flurry. They got a few on the power play, though not very good ones.
Easiest 20-shot period ever, though.
Czech, did you just look away at your MDZ poster while the Rangers had all that play in the offensive zone?
Maybe we should thank Milbury a little more than we bash him. He did banish the Fishsticks into an abyss from which they have yet to escape..
wick- i dont really care for gilrot myself. just think he could add some more speed and maybe(big maybe) help the pp. i think besides fighting, bickel is not an improvement over gilroy. gilroy at least took some point shots on the pp. better than watching richards and mgd back there playing with each other
The New York Rangers, where formerly high-scoring players come to die…
Kreider really hasn’t done anything this season, aside from scoring on fatty mcgee. Miller’s been a little more noticeable
Jeff, they do practice it. Maybe they shouldn’t.
I’d go Billy Martin and put out five guys who never play the PP.
sheesh!...
if only avery was here.
Callahan <3
Boyle & Pyatt should lock arms and stand in front of the net on the PP. That could work.
Lw3h
So you are the guy counting the shots? Got it. They had two decent flurries in the last five minutes.
It’s hardly subjective cheerleading to think the Rangers had a lot of shots that period. But if it doesn’t fit into the “1-0 down, so everybody sucks” narrative…
They haven’t tried Pitbull on PP yet. With sunglasses on.
Rangers are one goal away from turning all these frowns upside-down :)
Carp, do they practice against living humans or do the five of them just get out onto the ice and pass it to each other? Because they seem to be under the impression that the defending team will not actually attempt to defend, and are shocked and confused when they do.
If gilroy plays 12 to 15 minutes then I could see gilroy being an improvement, but it’s five minutes
Guess it doesn’t really matter tho because it is just five minutes, so if our 6th d man is our biggest problem…captain Ryan Callahan come get the Stanley cup!!!
I would just like to see d men that play with grit and an edge and that all 6 routinely play regular shifts
Jeez come on lets bury some of these chances
that drunk guy just put two more shots on the board.
Let’s GO RANGERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We are dominating this game.
Say what you will about the quality of shots or whatever, but at even strengths the Rangers are outplaying the Capitals.
were playing very well. everything but scoring. it’ll change
ILB may be on to something, they should all wear sunglasses on the PP
When did Patrick Roy sign with the Caps? Geez
This game is going to triple OT.
Should I say – domination without representation?
Nice defensive play by Boyle there on JT Miller.
Holtby…..Newman.
And Butt-Chin is going to poke the puck to Chimera
The Caps have 3 time Cup winner Marty Brodeur.
And then there’s MDZ
Oh boy
Powe was Shanahaned
Uh oh
I think Powe is dead. LOL
pow got plowed
Hope he’s ok.
Hopefully he’s ok
Oh mother
Ka-Powe! Thank God that wasnt someone important like Nash.
I can’t believe the refs didn’t call tripping!!!
Yikes, that is scary scary.
Where are we gonna get another Powe now?!
it could happen tiki. ya never know. remember zednik got his throat sliced open? its crazy that these guys dont get hurt like that more often with the speed of the game.
The mad bomber is just a nightmare most of the time in his own end
Waiti for the Joel Ward highstick in Hagelin
Scary hit…
Fortunately, that was only Woofski.
MDZ ….BE GONE!
Richards needs another good benching. Just terrible.
Grabby that was one the worst most gross things I’ve ever seen in this sport….shudder
Kreider’s probably about at Bridgeport right now. Probably hanging a U.
Guess Kreider’s playing next game.
Tiki
I’m sure that is what the powe family and friends are saying right now!
Not a very cool comment tiki
Strader completely ignores Wolski’ stint with the Rangers, as everybody should.
Actually , I was thinking of Malarchuck…..but Zednik ranks as well
Will gladly exchange 4 MDZ’s for 1 Carlson…
No to kreider, bring up mashinter
The sheer joy on Pitbull’s face is somewhat life-affirming, you must admit, Carp.
Keep it going stay 5-5
Uhhh, take Rupp off that list you nobs…
HE-MAAAAAN!
Hags!!
HE-MAN!!!!!!!!
Oh Happy Hags!!!
Hagelin!! Trade him.
Holy moly they actually scored!
Hagar the horrible!!!!
Shaggy!!!!! Donut!!!
Now the 14th best US born D-Man!
Hagelin!! KID’S ON FIYA!!
Shaggy!!!
Hehe Poti beat there
Finally! Dammit, they look like they’re so much better than Caps. Keep pushing, boys!
And it’s Benn not Ben Ferriero, jerks…
NASHER + HE-MAN =
chemistrySCORE!!! Hagelin!!!! Sorry wicky, just my sense of humor, no actual malice intended.
Turn the frown upside down :)
They might trade kreider for iggy instead of Hagar
Drunk guy has moved on to crack: Shots 32-10.
Paul Martin scored a goal today, so I’m not that impressed by McDonagh’s play there, Engblom.
LOL Manny…...
some monster hits on that last shift…damn!
Boyle finally playing to his size. Nice job!
Who would think…best scorer for pennies.
No worries
Zero shots on goal for the Rangers in this period.
My BB!
I think the Blues had more of a rivalry with the Nordiques than the Avs.
Fugg is that, JTM??
Stupid
Silly, stupid teenager!
Hey 4ever….no kidding
JT better switch bus tickets with Kreider
I wonder if Miller will get another shift in this game?
Whoa! Some chop by JTM
WOOF!!!!!!!!
Hank doing a Holtby
Nope, Miller is out there!
Halpern looks like he might have some ill feelings toward the Caps.
Woofski, lol
Wolski shoots it wideski
Woof. Ski.
Yup, Miller right back out there.
Woofski playing like he owes the Rangers money
Playing like last yr. No?
I’m glad Wolski stinks, couldn’t lift puck over Lundqvist’s pad or it would be 2-1 caps.
You know what amazes me even more than the perception of this team based solely on the score? how certain people never, ever comment until things go completely bad.
Yeah, if not for Hank’s softie, it could be 5:0…Rangers.
Has anyone ever seen Oates and Ray Liotta in the same room at the same time.
Oates looks like he’s ready to film scenes for Boardwalk Empire.
Caps have a couple of dogs. Beagle and Wolski.
but no Pitbull.
What are the odds Beagle drops the gloves with Asham again?
anybody have a link to the gamw?
We are definitely better than the Caps.
Me being one of those people, Carp?
Bud Light sucks, so does Pitbull. So they really are a perfect match for each other.
Pansification
Jokes aside, I like what I see tonight from the team (except DelZaster) – offensive and play, enough passion and surprise periodical domination…regardless
Girloy is earning a lot of ice time.
Freakin’ Boyle is flying tonight on the very big wings…
Why does Ovechkin have a car seat in his pants?
Hey Alex, is that a car seat in your pants or are you just happy to see me?
Is it so Matt Cooke can’t sever his spinal cord?
BTW in case you guys missed it ovechkin is playing RW instead of LW….i dunno if theve talked about it enough for you guys to realize it
Richards looks so weak out there. He’s bouncing off people and falling over everywhere.
Yeah like I don’t get it…why is Oates trying to reinvent Ovechkin by moving him o the right side?! How will that help him struggle less?!
Is Oates copying the Torts?
Holtby’s Heroics…. Did I really just see that?
Um, no, Latona. Are you starting trouble? (haven’t said that in a while, just realized).
CT…LMAO! Thought the same thing….:) close, but no cigar
Anthony, why didn’t you call me! I’ll get ya buddy
The Dominator in net is intimidating the Rangers forwards. Explains the poor shot quality
Even Milbury can see which team is better….
Only four shots in 12:21 since the goal? Am I drunk?
Miller is not good tonight. The D as a whole is very good. Richie is barely visible, Boyle is OK but it amazes me every out of town announcer loves him. I just don’t get it, watching hockey for 40 yrs. Trade him already for better value. They are playing like last yr. finally
Yes, Milbury….please go tweet yourself….
Powe has been benched since that collision. Tort running him out of town already.
It was predetermined, LW.
If they were playing like last year there would have been a scrap already
Carp
Lmao @ car seat
Is ovi playing a different position?
Hedberg, a lot of people (self included) think he was a very valuable commodity last season—able to shut down opponents’ top lines, kill penalties, work along the wall, defend a lead, win faceoffs. Lots of teams would take him.
And he’s part of the reason why they played last night kinda like last year.
No Bettman pts tonight
Torts hates powe
I heard somewhere Ovechkin has been playing L wing since he was a kid…
Wick, I think Asham is resting his knuckles (and his face) for Prust Tuesday.
Game back on yet? No? Well fudge.
Why does it seem like Holtsby plays like a Vezina candidate against the Rangers and is bad against everybody else?
What exactly are we trading Boyle for that’s better value?
anything at all, CTB. Fifth rounder?
I know what he does well, and i don’t hate him. Just think he is 4 th liner and good PK but. That’s it. I think he is one of the few players we can get more for than he’s worth. Weird.
Oh, and then who plays third-line center?
NBC announcers back on the ‘suck up to Ovechkin’ train I see. Blech.
Well at least there’s no 3-0 lead to blow this game.
Carp
Thanks, good point! Not sure who to root for in that tilt.
ILB
Where did you hear that.
I think miller plays all 3 zone better than kreider and that’s why he is here
Mickey
Still hate Nash?
Erskine has a big shot
Great shot!
I walked away for 30 seconds….is Ovechkin still playing RW?
In game Hattie
he’s a third-liner. was a third-liner on one of the best teams in the NHL last season.
Richards on the point. This can’t fail.
PP MIRACLE!
Flower play!
STEP-CHILD
Wicky, Yes.
NOTPower Play scored????!!! BRB, going to see if the sky is falling.
Now, that was pretty !!!!
Wow!
G O R G E O U S!
BAZINGA!!!
Who made that pass? Was that John Carlson?
Yeah!! PP Goal!!!
Steppers !!!!!
You see…they can, when they really wanted! Just in 6 second.
Now watch this team trap for the rest of the period…
Richards made me eat those words … won the draw, made a good pass.
Nash made that, good win by BR, pretty from MDZ
Man 1000Xs better than DZ Carlson lost the backdoor coverage there.
Sweet Ginger Brown!
Mad bomber making me nervous in our d zone
Karl Alzner’s entire game has been neutered by the rule not allowing him to lie on the puck for 60 minutes.
Carp, is Joe Tolleson sick or something? It doesn’t sound like him doing the PA.
Beautiful play execution. Nice pass by MDZ. Great play by Nash at the blue line.
LOL ORR!
Why can’t they do it like that at least once a game? 2-1.
That was an amazing PP goal!! Looked like something straight out of a video game. That kind of precision should be impossible in real life!
Carlson had no hope of covering all four Del Zottos there, to be fair to him.
It is not Tolleson. I have no idea why. Maybe he’s out on a Presidents’ Day bender :)
Gaborik go Widorik.
MDZ makes one good play once four games so that clearly makes him better than Carlson.
Ovechkin doesn’t have his bodyguard Semin to defend him against Staal anymore.
BB not a 3rd liner on the Champs(kings) last yr. Carp or the bruins, hawks or pens this yr. Teams that will contend
Richards is starting to show he hasn’t totally lost his blood flow, eh
I am feeling so conflicted about Tuesday…...
Did he just say George Stepan?
Um, he was third-liner on a team that contended last year.
Nobody said he was better than Carlson, Czech, chill out…
MDZ makes one good play every four games= Norris trophy.
Lets build an alter for him and pray to the great MDZ!
Tort has banished Tolleson to Hartford.
Where is Kreider? Highlights
Nor does Carlson scoring 2 times in 15 games make him 1000s time better than DZ. yeah he’s a better all around player but he’s their 1st pair D while DZ is at best the Rangers 4th often times 5th D.
I know why B-Rich is playing like poop… i met him during the lockout at a burger joint in the city and he was buying STRAWBERRY MILKSHAKE!
STRAWBERRY FREAKING MILKSHAKE! LIKE… REALLY?!
so yeah… i blame the milkshake
Man Stepan will start looking like Getzlaf real soon.
Ctb
What makes him better is his all around play. Put it this way, Carlson for MDZ?
Only because Brodeur had bought all the burgers, CCCP.
Butt-Chin blew that one. Wow!
Carp agree to disagree, I’m a 90 % with u. Mostly MDZ, Torts, Gabby ect. But u know I’m right lol.
Schultz tells the ref, I see nothing. I know nothing.
Why the hell is Gaborik passing there?
I said he’s better but Carlson is hardly a huge point producer from the blueline nor is he an elite shutdown guy.
One too many passes, kid
Nash has passed up a couple of great shot opportunities in this game.
“Ovechkin doesn’t have his bodyguard Semin to defend him against Staal anymore.”
Bongo Man!!! Hahaha!
So would you trade MDZ straight up for a player you just said was better, CTB? Come on…
So much for the hot PP
Only because Brodeur had bought all the burgers, CCCP.
HA! I knew it!
Ovechkin you have teammates there
what was that chant at msg just now?
That’s why he has that car seat, Jimbo.
Was that “Poti sucks”?
Ovie sucks, CCCP.
Ovechkin is a dog that can’t learn any new tricks.
So that makes three dogs … Beagle, Woofski, Ovechkin … but no Pitbull.
Ctb
Sorry,Got distracted, didn’t read the rest of your post.
Lw3h
Good one. You got me. Ha ha.
Not good
Ha! I thought so…..was gonna ask the same thing..
Boyle was a third-liner on a playoff team that struggled to score in every game.
Oh, I wanted it to be “Poti sucks” for old time’s sake.
Hey, Carp said sucks…..ooooooh :)
Gosh, do we want Big Nash down on the ice blocking shots?
Yes, Thom. He was. What’s the point?
LOL Carp! I feel bad for Ovechkin, tho… great player but something’s def. wrong with him. Not the same player last few years. You just dont lose your talent overnight…esp. the talent Ovechkin has.
He still has the talent, too, CCCP. So, yeah, something’s wrong.
We cannot do what we have done the past few games again…
Aren’t I supposed to visit Foxwoods.com around now?
One thing I noticed about Ovechkin is that he used to be in constant motion. Now he stands in one spot waiting for the pass for the one-timer.
Maybe he’s “off the juice”, C3?
Cross Check, yup.
When he was his best, his feet were always moving….fast…he made everyone aware he was on the ice…
A team that struggled to score and lacked scoring depth would have benefited from a more offensive-oriented third line and third-liner, no?
So Carp started the chant?
reference to Ovechkin. I think he has lost motivation, maybe he really wants to play in russia but can’t because of the contract he has with the caps.
Didn’t Ovechkin get engaged ? That’ll do….
Yeah, most teams have offensive checking centers.
Remember, this is Ovechkin’s 8th NHL season….that’s like almost 60 in dog years….
It used to be that Ovie looked like he was playing at a different speed than everyone else.
MSG is playing horrible music
My song should be coming up real soon
Bulldog on the PA, is that Carp shoving skates in his ears?
Pitbull tune!
They just played Pitbull, Voice.
R-A-N-G-E-R-S must be cued up.
OK, hold them off for two freakin’ minutes…two freakin minutes.
One freakin minute
Yayyyyyy! Here comes my favorite part!!!!!
Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
No shootout!
YEAH!
Nice job Henrik, nice job Cally! Good win!
CALLY!!!!
Wow! What a good Hockey Day in America.
Ryan Callahan=completely fearless human being
Hate this song…love the result
Good game! Bring on the Herbs! err, i mean the Habs! :)
Great job by Hank at the end!
Salute! !!!!!
Solid game all around.
game summary!!! Rangers win!!! ranger fans are happy untill next game.
LOL who voted for Kreider?
The Rangers are re-emerging?
Good one
Callahan diving in front of those shots is perfect example why goalies don’t need their humongous pads for protection.
PP wins the game for us tonight…weird.
Milbury=Neanderthal
It had to be Miami Pimp that voted for Kreider
its NOT called the rangers LUCKY hat!
Step-On thinks Carlson should wear that hat!
I hope someone asks Torts aboot Powe!
I think there needs to be a vote for Pitbull.
I voted for Boyle so carp wouldn’t stay mad at me
Yeah, most teams have offensive checking centers.
2011-2012 Centers
Kings – Kopitar, Carter, Richards
Devils – Parise, Zajac, Henrique
2010-2011 Centers
Bruins – Bergeron, Krejci, Horton, Seguin
Winning teams have scoring depth at center. Corrected.
Does anyone know what position Ovechkin played in this game?
My 3 stars in no particular order
Hank, Boyle, cally
Parise and Horton aren’t centers.
I did, CTB. I did.
Pretty sure Carter and Seguin weren’t playing center during those Cup runs either.
Ok, one more time
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nh7UgAprdpM
Not that I disagree with the point entirely, but not sure those are the right examples.
NHL Reference lists them as centers during the season and playoffs of those respective years.
Nor did Richards really light it up in LA until his buddy Carter started making the lockerroom a cancerous environment.
Fun tonite, shameless time
Ryan Callahan is 1000 times better than any captain the rangers have had since messier
Though not productive tonight, I think the kid is playing over the Kreider because of such a simple thing as keeping the feet moving.
Milbury came off tonight as very cold.
Winning teams have scoring depth spread throughout more than their first two lines. Re-re-re-emerging Correction.
Holtby played an outstanding game, Lundquist played better! Gaborik needs a large center who can fight along the boards, like…hmmmm…Boyle!? Maybe he has not been to the ballet lately? Good team effort, and Callahan’s block of Ovi’s shot near the end was spectacular, as all have noted…nice to see the whole team hustling to pick up the puck and the man all game long. Great end to the weekend. Nash continues to be our best forward in the offensive zone and he’s darn good in the defensive zone. They won a game they should have won, which is what they were doing last year day in and day out. Great team effort. Too bad Powe was knocked for a loop (looked like he landed on his heade when he hit the ice) hope he is ok in a few days.
Ovechkin planting himself and swinging away reminiscent of Babe Ruth in his late days.
I know cooscoos. His fiance Maria Kirilenko swings better than him.
Maria…I just met a girl named Maria,
And suddenly my role
Is not to score a goal
No more.
One coach plays him 12 minutes a game
The next coach moves him to his off side.
If I could get the right bucks, I’d slide back to the KHL.
Everyone forgets he’s 27 though he looks 35.
classic cooscoos. unless the great 8 has a dream to one day be on the ATP world tour
Oh, and, pleeeese…any uninitiated viewer from outside NYC would think that Trump is the most respected name in NYC. Pardon me while I B…, P…, or… you get the idea.
Wonder what it cost Trump to get his Zamboni spotlighted nationwide.
Any chance Millbury gets on celebrity apprentice?
Pretty good game in Vancouver.
Any chance Millbury gets on the “Survivor” show and doesn’t survive?
When The Donald fires Milbury, Trump’s head will read ‘Cat’s Paw’ from the shoe assault.
hahaha
Has anyone figured out that hair yet? Is it a tsunami comb-over or half wig, or both? His head looks like a hood ornament on a ‘37 Packard.
