Game 21.
Flyers at Rangers.
Ya boys have won two in a row, one of those in a contest unrelated to hockey after the hockey game ended.
Brad Richards, cheap-shotted by noted cheap-shot artist Patrick Kaleta on Sunday (Kaleta was suspended for five games) is out tonight with what is suspected to be a back injury.
Micheal Haley, the former Islanders goon, has been called up from Connecticut (AHL) for what is expected to be a typically rough game against the Flyers. As Pat Leonard noted earlier, in that infamous Islanders-Penguins brawl, Haley initially fought Max Talbot, who not only is now with the Flyers, but who also injured Rangers captain Ryan Callahan’s shoulder in a tussle last time the teams met.
With Zac Rinaldo in the Flyers’ lineup, I imagine we’re in for a sideshow tonight. And I predict that if the sideshow materializes and the Rangers win, Haley will become a cult hero very quickly here. But this is exactly why they signed him, right? And there’s probably a need for this type of player given the recent Max Pacioretty and Kaleta incidents.
Henrik Lundqvist starts in goal.

Don’t forget to vote for the Three Rangers Stars at the end of the game (and that J.T. Miller is not Ryan Miller or any other Miller on any opposing team like somebody did Sunday) and to follow me on Tweetland: @RangersReport.
Also, “other job” stuff looks like it’s going to be preventing a Live Chat this week, again. Sorry.
Next week, during the road trip, I’d say we’ll definitely do at least one.

HAHAHAHAHA. Village People Gillies!
Engblom
Chapter tree!
LGR!
The Bruins have only played 19 games!? Wow.
This may just be lost in Anglopånsy translation, but why the hell do American sports broadcasters always “visit with” somebody, when they mean “talk to”?
Fact: The Islanders have not made the playoffs since VPG departed the club
Why the hell do you call it a “chat show”?
Good question, LW. I would assume it’s because Americans love to use phrases that don’t actually mean what they are being used to represent. That is something we love because caring about grammar is so Europansy. It’s the verbal equivalent of wearing a visor.
GO TIMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
lets go gog gog ogg og ogog!!!
LETS GO RANGER LETS GO RANGERS LETS GO RANGERS!!!!!!
MUST WINNNNNN
That stunning Engblom-Stawhl interview in full:
“Are special teams important?”
“Yes.”
LETS GO LETS GO LETS GO LETS GO LETS GO LETS GO!!!!!!
Come on boys lets make some NOISE!!!!!!
RANGERS RANGERS RANGERS!!!!!!
i’d love to visit with Salma Hayek to have a chat show (in bed) with her
GO GO GO GO GO GO GO GO RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANGERS!!!
YOU CAN DO THIS!!!!!!
gangs all here. lgr!! bom bom bobombom
Good evening all! I made it! I don’t know now Miller’s stomach isn’t a ball of butterflies tonight….holy hartnell.
Kaleta = Cooke = Hartnell
Well at least chat is a synonym (Hi, nnsnse!) for talk. “Visit with” means to go and visit something with that person.
we can do it
Nice tackle by Hartnell…
Great shot by Gaby…
cmon gabby bury one
What unreal work by JT Miller there. Great job. And the Capt. draws a Penalty.
There’s another PPG without Richards..
CAPTAINHAN
Love!!!!!!!
oh baby!
Right, LW. Visit means sit down and have some tea with the guy. Maybe chat about your lives and what’s new.
Awesome PP goal. Sorry Brad.
WOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
I LOVE IT!!!!!!
RAAAAAAAAAAAAANGERS!!!
LETS GO LETS GO LETS GO LETS GO!!!!!!
How many PPG’s does Callahan have now? Most of them at least.
Richards = concussion. Bet on it
quick start! Dale Callahan!
where mama hidesd the cookies!!
What a pass by STEPAN.
CENTRO NUMERO UNO
Rangers PP w/o B-Rich 1 for 1
Haha, NYR. Amen. Stepan for #1 Center.
scored two without him last game, too, C3
Fight?
Actually, CCCP… better than 1 for 1
As Latona pointed out, they scored 2 PPGs when Kaleta crunched Richards…
True, Carp but B-Rich was dressed last game… fresh count tonight :)
nice shift by powe
Great work by our 4th line here….oh wait. This is our 3rd line?
Trickle Bickle
Every time Bickel touches someone he gets a penalty. Didn’t see that one as such.
umm, 2 min for being Stu?
bench bickel. for fugg sake. useless
thought that was a legit elbow.
Does this Bickel guy do anything lately but take dumb penalties? I like the kid but c’mon…so dumb.
Hartnell being Hartnell already. I guarantee he crosschecks ice girls during commercial breaks.
Is Powe’s nickname in the room Powsie or Powser?
Hello. A few quick ones….Where can I find the starting lines for each game?
Also, with Zuccarello’s season ending today in the KHL, what are the chances he gets signed soon?
It was? Thanks for the honesty, Carp.
I think the NHL’s rules are really hamstringing Bickel’s development.
Haven’t posted here in quite some time. Looking forward to following along with everyone. LGR!
Stu-minute penalty
Yeah, that was an elbow. Productive shift again, Stu…
GMen – Check the Twidget thing to the Right (the middle one will have lines)———————->
As for the Hobbit Wizard well I think the chance we sign him is near 100%
Way too much chasing there.
Bickeled!!
Thanks again, Bick…
Flys PP w/o B-Rich 1 for 1
Bickel should get a -1 for that.
I know I am in minority, but I feel that the hit on Richards (Kaleta’s reputation notwithstanding) was a penalty- but not the near death blow that most peole believe it was. I though Richards went down suprisingly easy….glad it worked out for us, and I suppose the fact that Richards is out tonight certainly doesn’t support my opinion, but that’s how I saw it…a moderate shove-not even a cross check. Sure Richards got hurt- I assumed had the wind knocked out him, judging by that look, but I just dont think it was as egregious as everyone else seems to.
Why is Girardi diving in front of the net?
Bad bad position
Ouch Girardi. Ouch.
didnt simmonds cross check danny g there?
Dunno why Girardi felt he had to try and intercept that pass to Giroux.
girardi diving took himserlf out of position, left simmonds all by himself in front of net.
A little overpursuit there. good play though
Why wasn’t that a crosscheck on Simmonds?
No love for that….no cookies
Sean, “moderate shoves” in the numbers by the boards are exactly what the NHL is trying to get rid of.
Great, great shift by Boyle.
Hartnelll has a special pass from Office of Player Safety that he showed to the refs before the game started…yikes, if that was not cross checking on Gaborik, what is?
Keep dressing Stu Bickel and that is what will happen. All on Torts for a dumb lineup move!
Girardi was cross-checked down. Not a dirty one, a smart one, but he didn’t just launch himself into the passing lane.
Boyle needs to be on the 1st line.
Haha. Bickels penalty is on Tort, Czech? Who should he have called up to replace Bickel since we have no extra forwards with Richards hurt?
♥ JT MILLER ♥
Bickel has pictures on Tortorella—there’s really no other explanation possible.
Thanks Manny. I looked over there >>>>>>>>>, but I still don’t see them.
Now that’s how you run a power play. Hate to say it, but that was really good and efficient.
After all the trades the Flyers have made in recent years, how come they still have more talent and depth than us?
Gagne could turn out to be a sneaky good trade for them, and Reade is not even in the lineup.
gotta make a trade for d depth asap
-?- Prust :P
damn… didnt come out right
Bickel isn’t playing D today, Grabby. With Eminger as 6, I think its pretty damn solid.
Here GMen :
stevezipayHagelin-Stepan-Nash, Gaborik-Miller-Callahan, Pyatt-Boyle-Powe, Haley-Halpern-Bickeland D-Pairs
stevezipayNYR d-pairs, FYI: 18-5; 27-6; 4-44After all the trades the Flyers have made in recent years, how come they still have more talent and depth than us?
More forward talent and forward depth, maybe.
how racist is the car was commercial? come come i clean!
Bad News in CT. Whale down 1-3. Too bad.
Grabby: Can we make a trade before the game is over? Trades are awesome.
i wanna see boyle lay some bone crunching hits out there. cmon dude if youre not gonna score at least hit somebody hard.
that car wash commercial*
Is Nash called for the Slash, Hold or Interference?
wow, Nash takes a lot of minors.
wow nash.
Amen, Joe Mich. Amen.
Another dumb penalty…this time by the other guy that takes too many dumb penalties…
Nash blew a tire
The Flyers might have forward depth, but their depth chart on D and in net is as long as Zac Rinaldo’s master’s thesis.
Nash takes some dumb penalties.
what is nash arguing about?
dumbass play nash. its 1-1 game. dont give them oppurtunities
hank!!!!!!!!!!!!
man, one thing Nash doesn’t do well is taking unnecessary penalties.
Joe, I have a suggestion. Retire.
Manny
Gee, about a half a dozen players in Hartford are better.
Rinaldo has a masters?
the king in the north!! mad king henrik!!!
Another stupid penalty against a good PP team.
Who Czech?
The King In The North!
And take MDZ with you.
whew!!! almost
Who is Rinaldo’s master?
Actually Grabby. Spoiler alert. King in the North gets lured into a bad spot and killed at the Red Wedding in Book Three ( Storm of Swords )
So I wouldn’t call him that for now.
Maybe in baiting, right, Manny? Ha! And the joke even sort of works!
Bad refs bad NBC announcers
It’s called the Blue Line Gabby,.... puck first…..you second.
manny! the king beyond the boards, king torts, needs to give the duke of pickles stu bickel a big slap on the back of his head
I might even say that Nash is trying to do too much. The team isn’t all about him now so he doesn’t have to do all this crazy penalty crap with the hooks and the holds and the other dumb crap he does trying to make an amazing coast-to-coast 1-man play.
manny why? i dont read. u should know this. ;)
Kreider, Thomas, Jean, Ferriero, thats four right there
Good one, The Doctor!
Engblom: “We have a heck of a heckey game here.”
IPAs don’t age well but Flower Power really doesn’t age well, even like 5 months. I really should have checked that before I bought it.
I thought the Nash pen could have went either way. Am I blind?
Yea. Kyle Jean. There’s an elite prospect.
But seriously, Czech. Those guys are going to come up and play 4th minute lines? Three of those 4 guys (initially you said 5) are not 4th line players.
weve been outplayed all period. king richards needs to adress his bannermen in between skirmishes
Ithaca brewery in the house, eh, The Doctor?
not outplayed but it hasnt been great
Those Nash and Callahan penalties are on Torts. :)
jesus another pp?
Oh My God. Really? That is not a penalty.
Wow! Thats a penalty?
LMGrossmanO, Carp.
It’s okay to take these penalties but you have to kill them off with authority…last year’s Rangers did that…
Have to stop taking penalties.
effin bs
Why all the chasing again?
Kyle Jean on two broken legs is a better player than Stu Bickel.
Season over?
DALE!
Girardi.
See…you can’t stand around with a thumb in your aasen…What the heck is McD doing?
Is McD OK? He looks off lately…
Girardi’s having a shocker tonight.
Does Dan Girardi know that it’s not illegal for him to stay on his skates?
THREE idiotic o-zone penalties. Playing with fire… Almost got a goal off it, but ref not blind.
I didn’t know that the refs in tonights game were from philadelphia.
yea our pk squad is weak compared to last year with dubie, artie, prust feds.
Another D’man leaves his feet,
Czech: Do you live in CT? Are you a season ticket holder to the CT Whale for the last 3 years? Because Kyle Jean has never played in the NHL. So…..... how do you know this?
Carp just scribbled a note about the Rangers D sliding about on their knees…
Gonna be a long night….eesh
A lot of defensemen sliding on the ice and chasing the puck on both PPGs.
dont worry, we’ll get 3-4 more pp’s next 2 periods and wont score
Ithaca indeed and the O/U is only increasing.
No manny, you put Powe on the fourth line where he belongs
LOL LW
We should be getting a makeup call pretty soon here.
Why is Girardi so high in the zone!?
I don’t know, maybe it’s me but ever since McD got face planted into the boards in montrteal he hasn’t been good. This is the same guy who was very good every night. It’s a little concerning.
Again….what the hell was that? Ryan McDonagh…?
How many icings for the flyers? Win a fo
Avs-Hawks on Rivalry Night? Er…
Oh. So Czech, you put Pow! on the 4th line (which I agree with) and then you call up Kyle Jean to play in Bickel’s spot? Then what? Haley on the 3rd line?
I need details for your plan here…
Oh, come on tommy. Those were three undisciplined penalties. Callahan’s was less so but I don’t fathom why ANY player gets his stick in that position with the way hooking gets called nowadays.
McDonagh hasn’t looked the same since his return from the Pacioretty hit, NYR. I wonder why.. maybe because it was dangerous and injury-inducing, but those are allowed in the NHL, so it can’t be so.
Icing
Kyle Jean.
Manny
Before you talk, get your facts straight. Kyle Jean was signed after this years prospect tournament and he is a rookie this season.
It’s Detroit, not Chicago, LW.
What a goal!
Caaaaaaaaaaaaly
cally!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oops. My bad. Thought today was Wednesday.
CAPTAIN
Suck on that move, Nash!
Looked like his shoot out goal
Captain!
Ryan Nashihan?!
Gotta love Callahan.
Cally!!!!!?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Philadelphia should amnesty Bryz and sign a cardboard box for the minimum. Will play the same “if it hits me, great” game in net.
I know Czech. I am referring to Bickel. To see enough games played by Bickel at the AHL level and compare him to Kyle Jean you would need to go back a few years. I know who Kyle Jean is. Thanks.
“I am going to score a goal when I get out of the box and tie this game”
As much as the Rangers D have been sliding, the slides by Grossman and Schenn on the two Rangers goals were a million miles worse.
And Bryzgalov should be poke-checking Callahan there.
Got here late….any dukes?
lw, if i give u hank,kovalchuk and gaborik, will u give me cally?
I absolutely love our Capt. Love.
that Cally goal was “Nash” like.
It wasn’t only just a hook, but an effective hook leading to a great opp. Terrific response though, great comeback goal!
Has a defenseman went prone on the ice for every goal against this game?
Kyle Jean :)
Many thanks for the pertinacious captain of the Rangers of New York!!! Many thanks for the Latona as well!! Many reasons to be thankful on this starry night.
Kindly,
‘bill
callahan is having another one of those out of body games. Hopefully this game the rangers will win.
I think they have, and that should be reason enough to STOP DOING IT.
Dukes!
NBC are definitely visiting with the Avs-Hawks game tomorrow, Latona…
And Bryzgalov should be poke-checking Callahan there.
SHHHH!!! what if he’s reading this blog? :)
Infinite thanks in return, ‘bill. You are a wellspring of many wonders.
Manny
Dont be foolish. Why do you focus on Kyle Jean? I also brought up Thomas , Kreider , and Ferriero. Clearly if you bring up Thomas or Kreider, you play them on the third line. If you bring up the other two, you play either on the fourth instead of Stu Bickel.
That’s the guy, Carp. Savior.
Does Cally remind you of Messier? What a tremendous team leader…and what an inspiring goal!
Mann-ye,
Isn’t Kyle Jean a member of the fantastic X-men?
That goal by Cally is all on Torts. He put him in the line up.
The Capt looks like he is willing it tonight. Jump on his back boys
love the pace of the game.
hey bickel do me a favor never play anymore. anyone who thinks this guy is worth a uniform is nuts.
stay out of the box and we will be fine
Are you proposing a goon league trade there, grabby? I’m not interested in those pånsies, but wicky will probably listen.
lw- = blog king from across the narrow sea
Yes, LW, I already corrected myself. I thought today was Wednesday.
Ok. Let’s take them one at a time Czech:
Thomas: Um. We saw him up here. Kid was LOST. Next?
The Kreider: Not being called up to play 3rd line or 4th line minutes. Remember how he just got sent down because he wasn’t playing enough?
Ferrari: Well, he had a stint up here and played himself from 3rd line to 4th line and back to the AHL.
Kyle Jean: The only logical choice for 4th line play. He’s like Mashinter except not as good.
how bout for matt martin?
thank g-d for callahan.
so in bickells minute and a half or less he has already committed 1 useless, moronic penalty.
on the girardi dive on the PK, the reward was not worth the risk and he got burned.
2nd flyer goal, Henrik controlled the rebound so it was right at VOraceks skates.
No PP for either team the rest of the game, I am up for that arrangement.
Miller looks bad on faceoffs…..not enough offensive talent on the rangers, they actually miss richards. Oy vey
Just 2 assists by Cally? BUST!
Nash is top 25 in the league in minors and he missed some time.
DuckBill! Hey buddy!
I should have known better than to think that they would broadcast an actual rivalry, anyway.
Who is calling home behind Cally?
is gabby playing tonight or just another nice stroll in the park for our $7 mill man.
I forgot he is elite….he just does not play like it very often… how about 2 great periods rest of the game Marion then you can go back into coast mode….....
JT
Manny
Actually Manny, you have no idea what you are talking about. I bet you have not seen a single game that Kyle Jean has played, yet you bad mouth him. He is a better forward today than Stu Bickel. But again, he would be the fourth of the four players I mentioned that I would bring up instead of having Bickel in the lineup as a forward.
martin gota pp goal too. lmgo
stuart, Henrik controlled the rebound so it was more or less right in front of him. Would have been a tidy coverup if not for no Rangers being near Voracek.
Milbury is a fat wus…... Just saying, horrible fighter worse coach, even worse if possible GM. Finally even worse human being. Ugh
forecheck well on this tem Philly’s defense stinks.
grossman stinks, 29 is soft, and bruno gervais!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
rangers had what 6 shots in the first…....
Thanks again, Manny. I thought I needed a tweet account to see the lines, but I don’t have one.
Is Gilroy hurt? I think he brings a little more to the table than Eminger, and Gilroy has a pretty good shot – would prefer to see him play more.
Also, Czech. You’re short one guy. Here’s a link to the CT Whale roster so you can find that 5th guy by randomly guessing a name: http://www.ctwhale.com/players
stuart a March 5th, 2013 at 8:21 pm
thank g-d for callahan.
im sure “Gods” not illegal here stewie
Listening to JT on radio, I can’t believe this kid is only 19.
Hedberg, he’s pretty tough with a shoe in his hand.
Speaking of The Whale….anybody have an update on Marek Hrivik? I would really love to get that guy up here since he’s a perfectly stupendous fit for our 4th line.
You got it GMen. GO GIANTS!
but maybe ur right. thank gretzky instead
the bloom is off on the bickell rose. again he cannot play and committs stupid penalties.
callahans penalty was very questionable, bickell came in high, he did not hit the guy solid but that is only because he stinks, he tried to hit the flyer high.
Used to think Cally was more heart than talent. I was wrong.
No, Czech. I watch Kyle Jean highlights all day on my computer. I was nearly fired for it at my last job. It’s an addiction.
stuart may be Jewish, grabby. Many stylize God in such a way.
Today is Wednesday, Latona.
grabby,
jews do not say the name in vain. no biggie….
g-d….
Hugo Chavez died. season over.
stuart- is gabby banging your wife or what? whats the hatred?
latona right on…
hrivik has been out for quite a while with a concussion..
concussions are killing the sport..
sauer, 1 year + jeez.
oops. sorry stuart. didnt know that.
Correction. Jews do not write the name GOD in vein. If you do, then that piece of whatever you wrote it on becomes holy. Therefore, you now have to go ritually bury and bless the entire internet. Thanks a lot, Clowns.
Now I’ve just seen an clip where the interviewer said “Now we are joined with Kyle Chipchura…”
Grabby – don’t apologize. You did nothing wrong. You rule. Keep on being funny.
amazing, brodeur goes down with a injury and the devils can’t win a game. I’m actually enjoying it. I wonder how good the devils are going to be when ol’e fatso retires.
gabby is not banging my wife, if he tried he would shoot high and wide..
the guy is so talented and not doing much…this team is offensively limited so his slump hurts that much more….
you know me, i trade him for 2 younger, cheaper, and guys with upside.
this team tonight has about 8 forwards that know where the net is…....
god
LW – I think that means that the interviewer and Chipchura became siamese twins by being surgically attached.
I’m a Jew…am i gonna get punished? oh, GOD! I didnt mean it!
Sean , he has more than enough of both,,, heart and talent.
grabby. no problem. no offense taken. I do not push my religion on anyone.
the friendly comments are great….
B”H
Chavez is out with an undisclosed injury. The CIA has a telephone hearing with Brendan Shanahan tomorrow afternoon.
Czech, don’t listen to Manny. He just emailed me and admitted he’s never seen anyone named Kyle play hockey.
I told you those things in confidence, The Doctor. I thought we had Doctor/Patient confidentiality or whatever?
So if Gabby “tried hard” more often, he’d score, what, 80 goals per year? More?
prospal has 9 goals on the season.
he is agamer…
There was a bloom on the Bickel rose? I was travelling—did he do something not-awful recently? I only see negative plays from this guy.
It’s not about Gaborik’s effort then. He’s just not a gamer? Does that include his playoff performance while missing a shoulder?
As we have said many, many times. If Bickel is our biggest problem….This team is going places!
manny, gabby is healthy now. it is not that he is not scoring it is also he does nothing.
get some shots on goal, make a steal, effort…
i look at more then goals. gabby should get at least 3 shots on goal a game, he is that talented….you should notice him out there.
that is not a outrageous expectation.
lets go. stay out of the box get in on the forecheck
thanks manny. stuart.
Manny
You are making an assen out of yourself. I didnt just toss out a name from the roster. You have no clue about what you are talking about. But I could just as well toss a bame out from thier roster. That is bad of an option Bickel is at forward.
Bickel is a small problem, true, and one that can be overcome. I have an easy solution, though…
ilb is my doctor. where is he anyway? hopefully spending time with his little baby girl
i look at more then goals. gabby should get at least 3 shots on goal a game, he is that talented….you should notice him out there.
Averages over 3 per game this year, has 1 in 1 period today. On pace.
Keep it up…keep it up …LETS GO LETS GO LETS GO LETS GO!!!!!!
LMGO, LW. Chavez will not return tonight.
del zaster cant get that shot blocked
LOL C3 :)
MDZ = Lost?
Grossman out? Wow. Even less toughness on the ice now.
Kyle Jean?
I believe Chavez will get the longest suspension ever…
Rinaldo’s face is paging Haley’s fists.
Thats a good fourth line.
Where’s Waldo?
News Alert: Boyler throws check,,,remains upright!!!! Film at 11.
im kinda digging powe and pyatt tonight. good work boys
honestly, gabby needs to get something done here on this pp
MDZ = Turnover Machine
Does the MSG feed have the same attractive shot of the top of a ledge every time the camera pans left, or is this exclusive to NBC?
Just NBC.
Flyers D. Sucks
gaborik is in a complete fog or daze. the man is lost
Kreider just scored for the Whale. CALL HIM UP!
Let’s go Rangers!
Let’s Go Black Hawks!
im starting to get tired of gabby myself. whens the last time he scored? how many games is it?
That was Kredier’s second goal of the night. He’s a regular Callahan down there.
Nice check Gabriella
“We have received the toughest and tragic information that… Comandante President Hugo Chavez died today at 4:25 pm,” Mr Maduro said.
“But I haven’t spoken to Rammer yet,” he added.
wheels on the bus go round n round
Manny how many TV’s you got going there in the bat cave????
very skeptical about miller tonight. looks overwhelmed. too thin at center though.
Next goal wins
linda if ur out there, we miss you!!
wheels on the bus go round n round
You S of a B.
Whoa, seems I missed an intermission thread here….not so unhappy about that…..
LMAO LW! You’re on fire (as always!)
And i thought Brits had only tea jokes :D
Not for nothing, but why the movie stars on Hanks mask??
nice shot gabby. do that more!
wow Gaborik with a nice shot…why the puck he doesnt shoot more?!
Gaborik’s looked pretty good to me … couple of really good shots. robbed early in the first, smart assist on the PPG. I know, he has to score four goals for some people to appreciate him. but …
No hook on Hags?????
hardqvist!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow. That was such a great pass Nash wasn’t even expecting it.
Time out
Wow that was an awesome pass. A few more months together and thats a goal.
wow!!! what a pass by stepan.
Gabby is ok tonite. Lots of haters
Hugo Chavez Folkyerself?
GENIUS pass from Stepan.
Gaborik has been good on the other, non-shooting, end of the game as well.
Carp, maybe 1 to start;)
carp, he needs a goal every 2-3 minutes.
nice dz. real nice lol
MDZ doing roofies tonight?
Can someone other than Rinaldo please hurt Rinaldo?
Another great offensive play by our big time offensive defnseman, MDZ
also, MDZ made a pretty good play on the PPG.
Swallow the whistle boys? Just don’t get this league anymore
Gaborik is only 1 SOG behind the benchmark that Stuart has set for him. Come on Gabby! One more buddy. Get that 3rd SOG!
Rinaldo looks like he should be cross-eyed.
MDZ has these games every so often, where he looks to be a minor league call-up
So my nephews are at the game and they tried to go down to the glass tunnel and the security guy wouldnt let them in saying that if you didnt buy the more expensive tickets you cannot go!! WTF IS THIS?! Is that how they treat kids at the MSG?
DISGUSTING!
i would like gabby just to be more decisive in his shot. seems tentative at times. unload a slapper like before. looks unsure at times. not picking on him just want him to be assertive
Rinaldo looks like he will be cross-eyed.
Del Zotto one of the only creative passers on this team—you’ll get turnovers with creative players. And assists.
i love gabby. hes been the best FA signing since jagr and those 2 are about it in sathers era. ok, girardi was a great one too, but for top line players, hes done what hes been expected to. as long as he shows up for the playoffs, and obv. help get us there, i have no problem with him
there it is. shot No. 3.
He got it Manny!!!!
geez gabby the puck just wont go in for you
THERE IT IS!!!! GABORIK!!! 3 SOG!!!! HE DID IT!!!
jagr was a trade, wasn’t he?
“Boy that bench interview with the head coach sure was interesting.” said no one ever.
Thanks for the support guys.
Did JT Miller just get double shifted?
Min 1 Chi 0
FIRE SATHER!
Money has its privileges C3, and that’s never been more true at MSG today than it ever was. Sad
Is Giroux playing at even strength?
Gaborik is leading the Rangers in SOG.
Which means Callahan’s Shooting Percentage is 100%
rangers are playing very well so far. as long as we dont take any more stupid penalties we could be lookin at a buttman special. carps fave
This game has gotten really ugly. Which means we’re playing our best 2nd period of the season.
Maybe Gaborik isn’t sure of whether or not he wants to actually score on his shots?
Carp,” Jagr was a trade”...c’mon Carp, why ya gotta bring facts into the argument??
yea he was a trade. seemed like a fa signing cuz of the lockout for some reason. ohh yea, the great anson carter was dealt for him!
Brian Boyle – 0 goals 1 assist on season. You’ve got to be kidding
sorry, Papa.
Sounds like a comment from the left
CCCP – They should tell security that they are two of Duguay’s many illegitimate children.
Why let truth get in the way of a good story?
Is Nash playing tonite?
Left coast
Hawks tie it up!
Saad. :)
Susan Boyle playing well
How many ties for the Hawks, Olga?
Very quite game from Nash so far.
Hawks again! 2 goals in 44 seconds.
The good Bickell.
Gaborik! 4 SOG!
“Mr Duguay? This is Garden security. We have two kids down here who say they are related to you, calling themselves Spartacus and Ronald Junior. Can you vouch for them?”
Bryz is so bad.
Ha! Maloney just said, “I hated the Flyers, and I still hate them.”
Reason number #649 why I love him.
No ties Carp. But they are going to suspender another Cup Banner in the rafters this year.
So maybe we should just add one extra “L” to Bickel’s jersey. Then he would be great.
mamas here! parties started
Miller almost got out there again. he was tired…floating around
Hey! We didn’t give up a goal in the 2nd Period! That’s got to be a first this season.
Haley’s been good. Um, wait.
manny, hi five!
lmgo carp!
I got no problem with that Olga. But I thought the West wasn’t playing this year.
Dave’s the man, Mama. Don, too.
>>Brian Boyle – 0 goals 1 assist on season. You’ve got to be kidding
Funny, I also checked his stats a few minutes ago.
lol LW!
F MSG!
Was that a Haley’s Comment?
Just checked Boyle’s stats too…yup…still one assist
Bickell scores again!
3-1 Black Hawks
grabby, i been here all night! definitely no cookies for you!
Carp, back in my day, the Maloney brothers were one of, or I should say two, of the draws for me to the team. Mucho mama love…..
When Fozzy and I met Dave, he was way beyond wonderfully gracious in chatting with us and taking pictures….great moment
lightnings 4 debbies-0!
im sowwy mama. forgive me?
A girl in the stands with a low cut Hawks jersey. What a Setoguchi’s.
BOYLE is a DISASTER-OF-EPIC-PROPORTIONS
setoguchi scored? asiantrash
4-1 Blackhawks
HHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSSSSSSSSSSSAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
4-1
hossa. unreal
Bickell scores again!
Obviously we have the worn Bickle
The Devils and David Clarkson seem to be reverting to the mean pretty hard.
they need more offense.
sit bickell and play kreider really is that a controversial comment???
the rangers need to bore us to death and try to score a goal and hold on.
mdz, cannot get the puck on net. i am not sure why engblom says he is playing good. risky but not good.
bryzgalov has had to make very few difficult stops if any….......
boyle is our 3rd line center and halpern is our 4th line center… think that is a weakness on the team??
nah goals scored are overrated…
How’s Hossa doing, Olga? He’s been one of my favorite players since he’s been in the league.
Pansy calls away from the puck, but hooking guys to break up scoring chances no calls. Welcome to the new NHL
of course grabs!!!!
Yeah, Kreider would sure add a lot of scoring with his .091 goals per game.
Just passed a thousand games Latona. 427 goals.
9 this season. Not too shabby…
3-2 b’s over caps good game. Bruins just look big
Huge third period
Del Zotto—actually watch him on any shift. He makes pass after pass to tape. Yes, he misses one every now and then, but without him it’s everything up the boards. Need him.
OK, some people on a Rangers FB group I visit are saying nice things about Hartnell. I’m gonna boudreau….WTB!!!! I may have to exit this group….
Yea! Let’s inhibit Kreider’s development by putting him on an NHL 4th line and telling him to hit everything in sight!
Segal scored to tie it up for the CT Whale. Headed to OT. 3-3 (two of them Kreiders)
Atlanta Thrashers traded Marian Hossa and Pascal Dupuis to the Pittsburgh Penguins for Colby Armstrong, Erik Christensen, Angelo Esposito and a 1st-round selection in 2008.
And that’s why they are now in Winnipeg.
stuart- stop! ur crackin me up over here man. at least were not losing
Boyler with the game winner
In memory of the late Chavez- A hugo third period.
CT Whale headed to a Bettman Bonus point in the AHL. What’s it called down there?
Haley with the GW
Kreider scored two tonight
Tim Thomas caught wearing a sheet at Oberlin College
kreider scored a few goals and everyone thinks hes THE KREIDER again. 1 of those was against deepee. he wasnt exactly anson carter during his time here this season!!
Normie,,,,it’s his defensive play, his play without the puck that Sachs tonight.
Another Haley’s Comment, E3?
huge 3rd period ahead. this is a huge 4 pt swing in standings. would love to point ahead with three games in hand
JR – “Engblom is way stupider than I could ever be”
Oberlin- the Capital of German-Ireland.
Hugo – how is mother?
kreiders pissed he got sent down. should be. he’ll be back soon.
Mother is still banned from the Blog. Carp can be Soooooo cruel.
German-Ireland is my homeland
I hope the hockey keeps the sideshows at bay in this period….
Both flyer goals a direct result of girardi’s penguin routine.
why did cally pass that?
Awesome news on Kreider… hopefully he lights it up for a few weeks and can come back.
There goes Pow!s head.
Leave my boy alone Stuart A
Chavez one of many Florida Panthers D-men out injured. He was playing well too, paired up just to the left of Kuba.
Carp – Free Mother Folkyerself
Sort of a nothing shot by Miller.
Hawks 4-1 good lord
And there goes our first line Center.
NASH!
NASH!
Great pass to Miller. Big miss, wanted to take that across Bry. as Cally did.
nash!!!!!!!1
nasherrrrrrrrrr
Sniper!!!!!!
Nasher
Baby!!!!!!!
That’s a Big Time player right there. 3-2.
what a shot!!!Nash, heating up.
He doesnt stay quite too long, does he?
i love him!!!
World Class shot
Next goal wins…....... We win game over
No big deal but that was JT Miller streaking down the LW there…..
Huge ♥ for Stepan there
Did someone say quiet?
Eddie you’re treading on quicksand there…
lol nbc has goal scored by nash, assisted by nash
Now Haley can ruin Rinaldo’s non-crossed eyes.
Gustafsson displaying the Flyers great defensive depth there.
Great D. in-zone crease, leading to Nash goal.
think im getting cops called on me. i yelled loud.
Whale lost in the Shootout. Kreider sucks again.
Miller knows how to play
Grabby: If I can help you calm down by using a quote from the fantastic 1996 film. The Birdcage:
Armand: You do an eclectic celebration of the dance! You do Fosse, Fosse, Fosse! You do Martha Graham, Martha Graham, Martha Graham! Or Twyla, Twyla, Twyla! Or Michael Kidd, Michael Kidd, Michael Kidd, Michael Kidd! Or Madonna, Madonna, Madonna!... but you keep it all inside.
Can they preserve the lead finally?
voytek witha clutch gtg there in dc
Looks like the Islanders have re-re-re-emerged from emerging tonight against the Habs.
Stepan is back on. Phew!
love the birdcage manny!
Oh dear lord no
ohhhh crap
oh my god there is our season
No, no, no, no….....
Oh dear!
Lets pray it’s not his eye
thats my boy!!! tough staalsy!!
Looks bad on replay
I fear another concussion.
Oh god. I hope he gets to keep his eye.
Huge tough guy points with no visor there.
Looks like it may have missed hitting the eye directly…he seemed much calmer getting to the locker room.
Good god
My god I hope Marc is ok… :(
wow!!! staal, not good.
its his eye and his cheekbone looks like
Need Haley to get out there and kill some time here with a nice long fight.
... no way
Not sure we really needed the slo-mo of it hitting him right in the eye.
he’s not gonna look good tomorrow…..
We need a quick NFL style prayer circle for Marc Staal.
broken orbital bone?
horrid …god bless Staal
i just think about bryan berard
Let’s pray that didn’t hit Mark directly on his eye! Awful!
Barry Ashbee, Manny Malhoutra, Marc Staal…. Not good…. I feel sick
Looked like it caught the upper half of his eye with the edge of the puck. Looks to me like it could be real bad. Hope I’m wrong.
I really thought that was his throat the way he first reacted on the ice. Hopefully eyebrow, I guess.
He’ll have a visor soon enough. Yikes.
hit the helmet somewhat so hope his eye wasnt hurt too bad
Did Philly dress all Swiss d-men tonight?
I don’t know, Grabby. That slo-mo doesn’t look like much helmet.
McD & MDZ need to step up
cripes….my stomach hurts…what must he be like now … remember Prust Staalsie….
This game is zero fun now.
Giroux looks off tonight
Just hope that puck didn’t break any orbital bone…just sayin…
Amen, The Doctor. Let’s hope Marc just reappears with a few stitches above his eye. Girardi style.
visors should be mandatory
Dave just kind of quoted Warren Zevon…cool.
This kid can play
T.J. Miller got moves!
Eminger really picking up the slack here.
Power Play.
first ti me I noticed Gagne tonight.
Boyle sure can make nothing out of something, and quickly!
come on pp this is huge.
Orbital bone heals. Shattered eyeball, no good.
Gagne never should have left the west coast. Best nickname ever. Gagne West.
It’s right up there with Marc Andre Vlasic being called “The Hot Pickle”
>>Dave just kind of quoted Warren Zevon…cool.
Werewolves in London?
That was a ridiculous effort by Callahan.
Wish I gave 1/2 that much effort…lol
Forget it, Boyle will score before Gaborik does.
gabby is due. hes gonna bury one soon
Wow.
nasherrrrrrrrrrrrr
THE NASHER!
nasher!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow that was a strong move.
WHAT A BEAUTY!
This is why he gets paid The Big Bucks! 4-2.
Boy, is he great or what!!!!
That’s it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Get ready Olga!!!!!!
The pp is starting to look like a pp.
World class
Wowzers.
Gaborik has 5 SOG.
NASH IS THE BEST!!!!
This guy blows my mind.Nash you are the man.
Excitable boy JBytes….
4-2 looks so much better. 5-2 would look great.
screw gabby, we got the monster mash nash!!
NASSSSSSHHHHHHHTY!!!!
The guy can skate through people to score. That’s what separates him from the likes of Gaborik and Richards.
Hartnell needs a beat down.
buh bye ya hartneller
Top ten in the NHL-,Rick Nash
Hate the Philty flyers
I think Hartnell just boarded McD
gabby aint a patch of hair on nash rear end. nasherrrrr
no shots blocked on the pp now
Thanks, Blogmama.
So typical Hartnell. I’m pretty sure he creeped into position for the perfectly square-from-behind board.
It’s a semi Zevon hattie!!!!
Wow Nash fought through that hook and still beat Brz like a rented mule!!
What an athlete!
Nash is something to behold. I’m so glad he’s on our team
What a crap change by the Flyers for the Nash goal. Thanks, guys!
My boy has scored 40 goals 3 x’s since the lockout season
Gaborik is quick and a great shot BUT Nash is a force out there !!! game in and game out.
Nash or Cally with the hat?
they will pressure the point of pp get in deep work it down low
that wasnt a high stick! effin effers
Anytime JBytes….how you been!!!
Was someone on this blog actually comparing Rick Nash to Artem Anisimov earlier today??
Two guys on a hat trick.
NASH=MONSTER…that is all
Z’sss are wild…. My boy is quick to the bank.
Wonder what Nash would be like now if he’d had a whole season with us. Bettman!!!!!
Blogmama, I could complain, but chances are nothing will come of it. So, for blog sake, I’ll say everything is fine. How about you?
Really nice play by Pyatt preventing a breakout.
Haley’s looked good sitting on the bench
Can there be a tie for first star??? I can’t decide.
Nash = Human highlight reel
Haley’s looked good sitting on the bench
And he’ll look good on the ice if Rinaldo decides to be a poophead late in a decided game.
1. Boyle
2. Callahan
3. Nash
The amount of courage these players have is unbelievable. Stand in front of the net while someone is winding up to blast from the point. These guys don’t get paid enough. Put an owner or to in the slot.
Can some filthy flyer shenanigans be far away?
JByes…hahahahaha! Big fat ditto!!
ummm. JBytes….
I can’t remember a Ranger who has dominated like Nash …Kovalev was good.
Super slow looked worse
Bear, that’s exactly what Prust was saying during the lockout…..
Huge win. Hope Staal is ok
3C – more importantly, Haley hasn’t looked bad. ...
Agree twice E3….i really wanted to take the series on these asshats
Concern for Staal
Ginger sucks!
Haley’s in the game!!!
HARTNELLER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Heart ell goes down…....tonight!
Send out the big boys.
bye fartnell
great job by bickel good for something
Bickel gets no leniency. Come on. He’s protecting his teammate.
That’s a win win!! No more Hartnell and no more Bickel!!
Please put our fistacuffs on the ice. PLEASE
Right on Blogmama.
Torts was smiling… Season over.
filthy flyer shenanigans as always when they lose
and he acts shocked that’s he’s kicked!!!! I think Haley called him a little carcillo….
I take back anything and everything nice I have every said about Hartnell. He’s an absolute scumbag.
Still take him on my team though.
I just seen a snapshot of the puck hitting staal. I hoipe I’m wrong but it look like it hit him in the eye.
Come on…Bickel did not deserve the same….SOOOOO glad we are beating these bastages….gonna be the best stick salute ever!!!!!!!!
Gaborik wants NO part of this game
Cally was blatantly tripped!!!!!!
lmgo at whoever fell down and trid kicking it in!!!
Great win! Hopefully Staal is ok…sheesh!
HEAVE HO! TREE IN A ROW!
No Sticky Salute?
Welcome to Chicago!!!!
1 point behind the all mighty Debbies with 2 games in hand.
great win! hope staal is ok. game over season over
Carp, open the poll!
playoff position now lets hold it
Tommy, I think the still that’s all over twitter is the puck on the way down, not the impact. Atleast that’s how I want it to be and how I think the NBCN slo-mo looked.
Great team victory! I am praying for Mark Staal!
Carp, you closed the poll already?
I just went to vote but I can’t.
story on Staal please?
stuck with the nbc network here in California….
Scott Howser is a moron…
NASHER!!!
wow, I think Steppers should get a star….and did I miss something….did a Flyer get a star????
3 stars. cally, nash, and whoever….
Staal wart, I can’t vote either.
I say Cally, Nash, Lundqvist
Prayers for Marc Staal.
No poll! No stick salute! WTB!!!!!!!!!
A Flyer got the 3rd star…I assume Simmonds.
who was the Ranger who tried to puck in empty net and fell?
Maybe no stick salute because of Staal?
Hags fell.
Ive heard some players don’t wear shields because they are concerned that a stick could get wedged underneath and gouge an eye out. Anyone who doesn’t should be made to watch the super slow mo video of the Staal play…............. I hope I’m wrong with what I think I saw…
Cally, Nash, Hank…and Steps.
Voracek got the 3rd star, Mama.
The Staal injury-once again I dont why anyone goes out there without a face shield
And Carp is gonna say, hey things are better when you score a few and he’s right-this team has the big gun now, but he also makes other guys better-this team ain’t like last years but it doesn’t have to play exactly like they did to win, this team can and should be a bit more offense minded
The boys are gellin’. . .
NYR won for our Mom’s Birthday!
Happy Birthday Mom
Well Haley didn’t hurt us lol, but he probably has splinters.
Nash=stud
No fights was a true letdown though
Thanks Gravy
Gravy, I think I heard Voracek…..aristophenes!
and it was cause MSG showed the replay of Steps saving the goal instead of the salute….they always salute after a win at home.
We’ll take a fractured orbital bone.
Any update on Staal?
I hope Staal is ok and eminger is leaps and bounds better than gilroy, which isn’t saying much
New flat screen TV is 2-0
What defines a superstar?
Leads his team in scoring/ check
Makes players around him better/ see Gabby before taken off of his line, also see Stepan and Hagelin.
Can take his on his back and be a difference maker in crunch time/ check.
Is Rick Nash a superstar? Your darn right he is!!!!
Happy birthday sis’ mom
Rick Nash world class
Mama, you’re probably right…I just threw a name out there.
Staal. Oh man. Damn. Oh man…
Jpg sis
Keep that tv healthy ;)
I never thought I’d hope that a shot hits a guy in the orbital bone…..but I sure as heck hope it hit more bone than eyeball. That was horrific, watching him squirm…and we know about his concussion history…
happy 26th birthday mama jpg!!!
how the hell does Voracek get a star, and Nash didn’t the other night? Carp, wtb goes on in that box????
I cant vote either.
Honestly, at this point, you’d have to take a guarantee that Staal would be ok for 2013-14, right?
and to jpg’s sister’s mom!!!!
I understand the enthusiasm over a great win vs the Orange Crud, but looking at big picture, Staal could end up having much more to do with remainder of season than these 2 points.
Mamma jpg said thank you, how’d you know?
Habs, debbies, flyers all lose we win. Nice game
Time for a celebratory Bushmill’s Irish Honey, a blend of triple distilled Irish Whiskey, real Irish Honey and other natural flavors. Top of the Morn
my 3 stars:
#1 Staal
#2 Trainer
#3 Staals doctor
Callahan
Nash
Bickell
Manny-how in the Hartnell do you come up with that Birdcage quote?
Sean, we all need to take a deep breath, say a prayer, hope for the best.
I’m afraid that Staal is out for a long time
Please don’t use gilroy on d, use Bickel, bring up a ct guy or trade for obrien
Mister D is correct – I would be thrilled if he is ok going into next season…... That was horrible…
Not to make a joke, but Girardi doesn’t miss a game if it was him….
Fighters, honarable men…... wear visors. You may discard helmet prior to fight.
True…but you gotta admit, it doesn’t look good. Nobody as tough as these guys, particularly D-men….By the way, making masks (half-shield) mandatory isn’t a cure-all. Not even close. Most pucks at that level are tipped upwards, not typically shot head-high…just adding my 2 cents on Trautwig’s question to Leetch.
E cubed… Probably right on GMan. But I hope he puts a visor on.
The college bird cage helmet would have saved him.
But eddie, the falcon cannot hear the falconer!
Sean, If Staal has visor, no direct contact with puck.
What about the snowman?
Melo update
McD’s head into the boards didnt look good either.
Is the snowman turning and turning in the widening gyre?
I wore the bird cage through my 40’s. but… I also played with contacts when I played.
You might be correct…just have a sick feeling…time will tell. I was a big Sauer guy…still holding out some hope for him, though probably in vain.
Wild scores. 4-2
Latona – Batman or Yeats?
Scary stuff with Staal, for sure. And of course, it happens as he has been playing his best hockey.
I just hope it’s not his eyeball, or concussion symptoms… given he has a positive concussion history. Geez-Louise.
Always hate to see player’s career cut short with injury.
Rick Nash is best trade acquisition since Messier in 1990.
Sean – I, too, was a huge fan of Sauer – but it might be best that he retire…..he just afford to take a chance…
Leetch said Gaborik good???? MSG sell-out by all-time Ranger great??
William Batman Yeats.
Al Trautwig called Callahan’s 2nd goal – goin to Nash school
Admiral, good to hear from you again.
Gabby had some great looks tonight…. But he seems snake bit…
Carp – When can we vote for the 3 stars.
Cause he posted about it sister :) I’m smart, but not clairvoyant…..
OK, all, early day for me…except for Staal, great night (hartnell you Hartnell). Hoping for positive news tomorrow. Niters all!
Gaborik was fine, got some shots off, forced one very good save, nice pass to Miller for near-goal, some good plays in-zone. Need him to get on one of his scoring streaks, though.
Anaconda
Carp might be chasing down Stall story rather than entertaining us with a poll?
Torts concurs …Stepan was brutal early in the year.
Seeing Staal’s injury reminded me of Walt Tkaczuk. Was watching on MSG the night that a puck in the eye ended his career. Hoping for the best.
Torts yawning at press
why could NHL mandate helmets and not shields? time has come for at least all wear half shields IMO protect their eyes
Wild are back in it. 4-3 Chicago.
There is bad karma on the Staal situation.
Rick Nash is best trade acquisition since Messier in 1990.
That’s still Jagr. Nash has awhile to go.
Long pains, with use of bearing, are half eased.
Dryden
JPg sis,,, believe it or not! protective cups are not even mandated
Carp – Why don’t the Rangers make in manditory to wear shields? Players like Staal are too important to lose. You just can’t replace them.
What’s the saying – it’s all fun and games until someone loses an eye!!!
What’s the diff between Ranger Postgame and Ranger Extra…Dave Maloney?
Kane makes it 5-3 Hawks
really, Papa? so no baby boom in NHL then
I am far from a tech savvy guy, but the more I look at Staal still photo, the less legit it looks.
3 Stars
Cally
Nashty
Hags
Anyone remember the Flyer’s Barry Ashbee? Dale Rolfe blasted a shot from the point game 5 (i think) 73-74 playoff semi-final….hit him in the eye…ended his career….
no chat tomorrow?
well then, i can sleep in without feeling guilty
Gravy – Best Trade is Gomez for McD, Prust, and no Gomez – $ for Gaborik. Sorry this trade acquisition will never be topped in the history of New York hockey!!!
New York Rangers ?@NYRangers
Great Stat (credit to @KennyAlbert): all 7 of Rick Nash’s goals this season have been scored in the third period
Surrogate Fatherhood??
SPM, that is the best trade in Rangers history, but not the best acquisition by trade. It was also the best subtraction by trade.
Yes, I remember the Ashbee play. That was at MSG in the playoffs I think it was an NBC game. I know that Tkaczuk wore a helmet, not that it helped him, but Ashbee did not.
I am far from a tech savvy guy, but the more I look at Staal still photo, the less legit it looks.
Watch the NBCN video, the pic is just a still shot of it. Sadly legit.
Olga – no need to even watch the hawks… They win before the game begins….
E 3 also, Donny Maloney accidental stick to the eye of Bernie Parent ended his career .. Bad Karma Philly- Ranger eye injuries
3 Stars
Nash – GWG in 3rd period
Cally – Broadway hat winner
McDonagh – Quarterbacking the power play, and playing extra minutes with Staal out.
Now we could put Stepan in there for his 1’st line Center role, key minutes on the power play. You could go either way both McD & Stepan – flip a coin.
Girardi…Robo Cop
Joetex – I think it was game 4,,,, yes @MSG….. 3,4, and 6 were at MSG
Papa bear – oh yes…. Great memory – you are right….
Henrik gives the best interviews.
Carp – who have been your favorites to interview after a game?
Staal was hit above the eye and he will be ok. Worry not.
Gravy – yes, the Jagr trade was fantastic, and the Gomez for Higgins/McDonagh was a steal..
It may be a bit premature, but I really feel this Nash trade working out big time. Jagr was great, but was never clutch with the nyr. And his effort seamed to always be suspect. (And… Jagr was essentially useless on shoot outs too.)
Nash will never have stats a gaudy as Jagr, but seams to have a knack for a big goal. He also plays big, he plays physical. I don’t see his effort ever being an issue.
Czech – hope so…. But you can’t be so sure, sadly…
Latona – The Widening Gyre!
Cube… Parent ripped his mask off, threw it to the ice, held his hand over his eye, and sprinted to he bench.
wishing Marc well.
also wish they’d grandfather helmet safeguards —shields, more cushion, tight chinstraps—
just like they grandfathered helmets into NHL
sigh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I missed Hartnell’s Dust up from the bench. Too funny!!!
Way to get the new guy into the game :)
Papa – and parent was finished after that…
That’s right, coos! The Second Coming of Rick Nash..
Batman or The Second Coming
thinking/hoping that the puck
hit Staal a little above the eyebrow
maybe
there hasn’t been an update because
they’re doing x-rays on him
maybe there’s swelling
and maybe they’re doing
concussion protocol on him
too
Wild sure didn’t quit.
Hawks Win!!!! (That NEVER gets old:))
Until the alumni game last year
Chech – I don’t know I stopped it in super slow motion. It hit right in the eye. If it was above it would have cut it and more blood would have been all over. It couldn’t have looked any worse. Seriously I hope the Rangers Management demands their players wear the visor.
In fact it wouldn’t mind seeing the NHL make in manditory to wear them for everyone.
I have a Question for the fans in New York watching the game on MSG. Do you get blacked out and forced to watch the game feed from NBC sports / Verses?
Papa bear – just watched the Parent injury on youtube…. Jimmy Watson hooked Donnie Maloney and then Bam
Chicago are setting themselves up quite nicely for playoffs…disappointment.
are you sure it was Staal’s eye? I thought it hit on his eyebrow just above his eye
Sioux
seriously??
i thought the corner of the puck got him on
or just above eybrow
at the very least his vision has to be blurry for
some time…........and hopefully gets better asap
I feel like crap….. That looked bad
Great to see Michael Haley tied for first in Carp’s poll for 3 stars of the game. Much deserved.
new post.
Man NBC has to be the worst play by play in the game.
Sam is so much better, it’s not even close. Tonight was miserable listening to them, then they black out some of the post game, and the screen went black.
Anyone else have those issues?
Sioux- I live in West NY. MSG was blacked out. But we get a local feed for Ranger games, but not in HD.
NBC was in HD so I watched that instead of the MSG crew.
Hawks banking points for next season.
Coos…Top of the Morn.

Hey, move on to the new post Eddie.
