Game 30.
Panthers at Rangers.
Holy cow, is it really Game 30 in a 48-game season?
Ya boys on a two-game winning 
streak. They play the next two at home (Washington Sunday) then hit the road for three in a row and 11 of the final 17.
Chris Kreider makes his return to the Rangers after being recalled from the Whale on Wednesday.
Henrik Lundqvist in goal again.
John Tortorella looks for his 400th career NHL coaching victory.
Marc Staal (eye) and Arron Asham (back) remain out, though Asham is aiming for a Sunday return.

LGR!!!!!
Cant believe im saying this but Bickel over Gilroy any day of the week. Bickel makes Hamrlik look like Lidstrom though. And how is Strahlman in the mix to be scratched over Bickel? Strahlman ahs played like 20 minutes a game this year and Bickel hasnt played over 4. Is Girardi going to be playing 55 minutes?
Lets Go Krieder!!!!!
Ok, good, looks like Bickel and Gilroy are out. As they should be. Strahlman has been banged up last few games though.
Drop the Puck already!!!!
I don’t think Stralman is in the mix to be scratched over Bickel. He’s in their top four.
But I agree, Bickel over Gilroy.
Let’s go Rangers!
Rangers win! Gaby and Kreider with goals tonight!
Bickel definitely better than Gilroy.
We must support the boys, even the Black Aces.
One for All and All for one.
The Kreider will leads us to The Promised Land!
Good Luck Boys!!!
RELEASE THE KREIDER…... it’s MILLER time!!!
IT

Can’t wait!!! Can’t wait!!!
LETS GOOOOOOOOOOO !!!!!
Pysie might be the worst hockey nickname ever.
Bickel >>>>> Gilroy
Saw a tweet earlier that said either Eminger or Stralman will be out. May have been Eminger or Hamrlik. Dont know. In any case the right guys are playing.
Papa – I love playing with the black Aces!!! I won a big pot with them last night ;)
RANGERS RANGERS RANGERS RANGERS RANGERS!!!!!!
C’mon Kreider Chris, lets make that first chance to hit a Panther a memorable one!
Too bad we missed out on Sustr…guy is humaangus big, like universe…
Especially when read in Russian, Carp
If anybody wants to hang out I will be BANJ’ing for a while. Or Logging (NYR, Wick, Sally, Latona, ILb?)
Greg, excited?
COME ON , DROP THE PUCK already!!!!!
RANGERS!!!! RANGERS!!!! LETS GO LETS GO LETS GO LETS GO LETS GO!!!!!!
Who needs Sustr when you can put Jason Missiaen on defense?
LOL! I was laughing my GM off at “Piesy”. Haha!

Sioux – One Eyed Jack’s are wild!

Time to head for the hills. See you on the other side.

Yay positive vibe power! Don’t stepan the logo Greg!
Balance the Ledger Kreider Chris!
Chico has probably the worst pronunciation of Stepan’s name i’ve ever heard. “STEH-pahn”
I’d love to see a big game from Del Zotto tonight – he’s been playing his best hockey past few games.
Happy Birthday, Ryan Callahan!
...this should be a holiday or something…
Faith is good but I need NO FAITH cuz I BELIEVE!!!!!
LETS GO LETS GO LETS GO LETS GO LETS GO!!!!!
NYR_FAN you are more intelectually incoherant now that your 26 , WTG!!!
ORR must have a woman.
Keenan, too, Lev.
Torts said he talked to Kreider Chris today!!!
NICEEEEEE PRB , excellent!!! NEVER Stepan the logo!!! eh?
RAAAAAAAAAAANGERS !!!!!!
Win this thang!!!
Welcome back,
Your dreams were your ticket out.
Welcome back,
Welcome back, KREIDER!
To that same old place that you laughed about.
Well the names have all changed since you hung around,
But those dreams have remained and they’re turned around.
Who’d have thought they’d lead ya (Who’d have thought they’d lead ya)
Here where we need ya (Here where we need ya)
Yeah we tease him a lot cause we’ve hot him on the spot, welcome back,
Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back!
Kreider Chris is a man now! He will go where no other Kreider Chris has gone before!
LGR!!!
Chico
has probablythe worstpronunciation of Stepan’s name i’veeverheardFixed.
There you go. Torts basically said, if you read between the lines, that one big reason Kreider was sent down was to regain confidence, become more assertive. Sounds to me like the coach knew what he was doing and that most of it was in the kid’s best interest as well as the organization’s.
Chico blows, man.
The procedure was painless and non evasive. :)
chico has to be the most annoying hockey analyst in nhl history but than again his buddy Butch Goring is right up there with chico.
The itsy-bitsy Kreiider
Climbed up the water spout
Down came the rain
And washed the Kreider out
Out came the sun
And dried up all the rain
And the itsy-bitsy Kreider
Climbed up the spout again
Sometimes he rugs me the wrong way.
Exactly, coos. I never had a doubt that stint in the AHL was what was best for Chris…
Torts basically said,

lol genius LW
Staten Island in the House!!!!
RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANGERS gametime is ….NOW!!!
Dont Stepan a Kreider , you will Nash it!!!
These kids RULE
LGR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LET’S GO RANGERS!!!
that was sweet.
now lets kick some axe.
I see Kreider Chris on the ice!!!!!!!!
All American Line!
My, what a big Swede you have, Kevin.
LETS GO RANGERS
wow!! nice to see the rangers get off to a good start (sarcasm).
another great start…
Hope he has a good dental plan!
Any of you guys that played/Coached hockey, do you know which system the Rangers play on the forecheck? It appears to me they have some sort of 2-1-2 or an Aggressive Overload but it’s too hard for me to see all the intricacies.
Don’t you get 2 minutes for high sticking the ref?
Brodeur with a goal!
Brodeur: 1 goal
Kreider: 1 goal
This has all the looks of a bad loss. Better pick it up quickly here.
Fat Marty playing point on the PP now too?
not what I was expecting to see out of the rangers. This team is frustrating to watch so far. Playing a team that has been decimated by injuries and the panthers look like the better team.
That’s just sickening..
What’s Brodeur’s goal? To eat all the donuts at the local Dunkin Donuts?
But the Rangers fans are loud … during the T-shirt toss. OK, back do sleep.
Well, they deserved that. Wake up NYR!
Is that an example of Hamrlik being our PP QB with a huge shot?
Not the start we were looking for…
Don’t know why perhaps the only threatening FLA player on the ice was left all alone, though.
this is why I wasn’t getting to excited about this team after 2 wins in a row. I can’t figure this team out but this is disgusting.
got the anti-shutout goal out of the way early tonight
what the heck man. is brian campbell available for gaborik?
Dolan has ripped the soul out of MSG with that renovation..
one good shift the whole game so far.
The Ledge beckons!
Campbell’s Contract = 10 Foot Pole
He also doesn’t really play defense despite being a defenseman.
Torts’ Pre-game speeches need work…..rangers’ take the first penalty, give up the first shot, give up the first goal…and come out flying….
Dave Maloney “you cant just show up”
You think Dolan’s tough? point to anything in this room I’ll lift it over my head!
It appears to me they have… ...an Aggressive Overload but it’s too hard for me to see all the intricacies.
Pretty cool that you took the aggressive overload terminology from the EA Sports NHL video games.
man these slow starts are so disturbing. across the board too. hank and all.
nice pattern to start every game….....
With a shot like that, you don’t have to slide around like Danny G
McD almost ate that puck, too close for comfort
Who’s to blame for the team always coming out flat in the first period? Players or coach or both?
Rangers have entered teh 3rd period with lead 8 x this season…
we can’t blame Torts for the crap starts. too much partying the night before? too much pre-game soccer?
Nash, please change your screen name. thank you.
Wow this is our best line.
“Holy cow, is it really Game 30 in a 48-game season?”
That is SCARY! Somehow I don’t think a LA Kings type run is in our future but one can dream
fair enough Carp, apologies
i think we found our PP Qb
Question is who will be the unfortunate souls that will be banished to Panthersland
We could use Brodeurs offensive production on the 4th line
Life!
stuart would be complaining that Brodeur only has one goal. And that he’s tied with Boyle.
Nice shot Fatso
Stuart also would be complaining we said Bickel is better than Gilroy.
and complaining about complaining.
Brodeur PPG? Pleasantly plump goalkeeper?
Do we really need an in-game clip of the Brodeur goal? Even Crosby updates don’t go that far.
I’m sure he is doing that somewhere, Carp.
What a revoltin’ situation this is.
Beignets for everyone! Brodeur scores!
Ledge is closed through the remainder of SUPPORT YOUR TEAM WEEK.
Looks like The Kreider fired up Miller.
Sounds like the Boyle line is getting chances…
Did you see that kick by Kreider Chris?
McDonuts is having a strong game thus far
gernander taught him that.
In Lisbon without the benefit of the broadcast. If it’s not too much to ask…how in the heck did Fatso score a ppg? WTF!!
Much better, Marian. Thank you.
I love Hagelin!
Best part about Stralman is we got him after the Debbie’s passed on him.
Respect, Carp. Respect.
Alright boys. We drew a penalty! Now get
CABRHAMR out there on the point!Knickerbocker update
Brodeur made a save, Staal passed it from the corner through the slot and it banked off the boards all the way down into the empty net (delayed penalty I guess).
Stuart also would be complaining we said Bickel is better than Gilroy.
Determining which one is better is akin to determining whether the electric bill or the water bill is better. Both stink.
Delayed penalty extra attacker I think. Carolina put it in their own net
Brodeur now has as many goals as failed marriages.
And successful familial affairs.
Not too long ago:
staal – girardi
McD – Sauer
MDZ – ???
The future looked so bright…..
Dave Maloney “the backline having a lot of problems getting the puck out to the forwards” and “ranger forwards playing much better than their Dmen”
Electric bill comes more often….so it stinks worse.
You have to admire stuart’s passion….he cares about this team….
HOWWWWWWWWWWWLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
Well, that was a good period …
Only 18 games to go Chai! L’Chaim!
Kovalev officially retired today, apparently.
“you can’t convince people that you are a legitimate threat unless you are a legitimate threat from the get go”. Dave Maloney
I thought he retired in ‘94.
nothing like killing Brodeur’s personal life. Love it. lol
Uncle Daddy!!!!
Really, Al?
man, look at the islanders hanging tough with montreal
Well they are missing Brandon Prust, Marian.
“Brad, you really couldn’t give a flying Byfuglien whether Marty Brodeur scored tonight, right? Do you think I could ask a question that fewer Rangers fans watching would appreciate?”
“Er, no.”
Jeez.
“hey Brad, how about that Marty?” , I wish he woulda punched his face
Alright nowwww LETS PICK THIS UP!!!!!!
LETS GO RANGERS!!!!! LETS SCORE SOME goalsssssssssssssss!!!
Lets gog gog ogg og gog go gogog!!!!
Big time period folks!!!!
Time to score!!!!
Whoah. Colton ORR just defended Brad Richards by beating the crap out of Kaleta.
So are the Rangers, Manny..So are the Rangers
Could someone tell ‘The Kreider’ before he goes into the Hall of Fame that the game is north/south, not east/west?
Sigh…....
Kreider Chris needs compass on size 16 EEE skates????
Neil is just laying out the Bruins.
Manny, we get better updates from you than we do from Pee Doe and the 150.. Thanks
You got it, Papa. This is what happens when Mrs. Manny is out.
Where’s wicky? I just had a nice chat with one of his faves, The Little Ball of Hate. He was telling me about his first NHL game when he started a brawl by running Dave Maloney … and he had just reminded Maloney.
Big second period coming up for NYR here.
Sometimes I get the feeling Keenan doesn’t even know where he is.
The Beeker! We could sure use a guy like him now!
Who?
yup.
Another slow start…Fire Tits!
Pat Verbeek, Manny.
This is what happens when Mrs. Manny is out.
That and the magazine collection comes out.
Oh snap!! stupid autocorrect!! Hahaha
Fire TORTS!
CRY HAVOC ! AND RELEASE THE DOGS OF WAR
LETS GO RANGERS
My “who” was in response to Carp’s Keenan quote. But then you got int he middle and made me look stupid. Kudos to you.
Yeah but, Keenan has come a long way from that ‘Chef of the Future’ look he had when he started
Fire Tits!
Fire (.)(.)
LET’S GO BOYS!!
Touche, LW. Touche.
Hammer time
Is there any doubt that Richards would lead the league in turn overs if they kept that stat?
It’s such a friendly sounding word…...Toots…Tits….Tits…Toots
Five Tarts!
Haha…Manny you are one bright lights around here
“Miller’s looking for Kreider but Kreider is still on the bus from CT”
lmgo, chef of the future.
can it core a apple?
Some dumbness in both ends before that stoppage.
They do keep that stat, Papa. Pretty sure it’s a fairly meaningless thing to compare players by though, given ow subjective the scoring is.
Tends to just tell you which players have possession of the pick most.
Who is Markstrom anyway? Is he the backup to the backup? Or is he the backup’s backup’s backup? Looks like Ken Dryden out there. Wonder why that is?
That was some horrible typing.
They given new meaning to the gang that couldn’t shoot straight,
boobirds are out.
This is a pretty classic example of playing down to your opponent’s skill level.
shooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooot
The Kreider need to put the team on his shoulders….......
Strong play in front our net guys. Strong. 1-on-3.
SIGH… So freaking typical
Chef of the future…”Zip…Zip!
down 2-0 at home to the worst team in the league.
Ouch…ouch.
this is a joke yo. why are they acting like they already won? its 2-0. wake the F up.
FI-RE SA-THER!!!
how the byfuglien did that go in?!?!?
oh yeah
it’s the Rangers.
It’s not over…..I have a splinter of hope…
yagottabekiddinme
That is our season in a nutshell right there.
Pull hank and go empty net
trades be coming
Anyone else see the parade of suits going around near the glass?
We should let Hank go to a team with a chance. It’s only polite.
Puck must be really hot tonight; nobody wants to keep it on their sticks to make a play..
Trade Boyle for Lucic
Trade Gaborik for Prust
Trade Lundqvist for Jonathan Toews
Trade Michael Haley for Rupper
Trade Steve Eminger for Derek Morris
This match is far from over, blokes.
If there was ever a time for Gaborik to start getting the fans back on his side I think this time is now…
I actually thought earlier today that this would be a 5-1 ranger win…....
would you sign for a shootout right now?
What an awful team. BOOOOO!!!!
Shaming the sweater. Never ready to play at the beginning of a game. Pathetic. Something has to change.
pp strong?
Rangers should get more than Lucic for Boyle….
there are some beautiful ledges here in Lisbon
Hags should not be on pp
hope he scores though…
I’d take a SO….just need the first one
Kovalchuk led the league in official giveaways the last two years and is leading again this year, for what it’s worth.
Maybe they throw in Seguin, e3
I see a ranger goal coming
so now that McD
looks like he’s got his act a bit more
together
Girardi has to take
over
as the head up his aasen
tonight??
Boyle/Thomas for Lucic/Marchand/Seguin
this is not the same team as last year one bit.
losing every single wall battle. every single loose puck. no passion whatsoever.
Boyle belongs in the AHL
how the efffff do you screw up a 3 on 1????
gdit
Rangers with all their overpassing!!!
PP …....0-15 now
Why does 2-0 feel insurmountable??? Sickening
This isn’t that big of a deal. Florida is one of the top teams in the league. You can’t expect them to play well against a powerhouse.
cause keeping the puck seems insurmountable at this point. they look like they’re playin’ hot potato.
Maybe they throw in Seguin, e3
Yup and Timmy Thomas’s confederate flag
Halpern cannot score!!!
Dave Maloney “not enough shots on goal for all the time the rangers have spent in the Offensive zone”
Maybe Halpern could score from 2 feet away on a wide open net.
Whoops.
Torts said he doesn’t coach offense. Well, it shows. Maybe somebody in the organization ought to do it for him.
CCCP – and thomas’ sheet
Btw, where is 4ever? Haven’t seen him around much at all…hope he’s doing good
time for somebody to drop the gloves.
If they can get one before the period ends we are ok….
playing with 3 D – the bloom is off the Stralman rose, Hamr is slow and em is very, well, em
This could be a Ledge-endary game.
LOL BRODEUR SCORES, this night is over
This team doesn’t deserve to make the playoffs….. Period. But, we’ll squeak in and get eliminated in 5. Take it to the bank, friends. Hope we fix the bottom 6 situation during the offseason and training camp pulls this sorry group together. That is all… Toodles.
Those passes from behind the net into the slot aren’t working. Please try something else.
cccp – and jimbo as well…..havent seen him round these parts….
Late goal this period, tie it in the third
The Ledge beckons
same for RIR…...
Do NOT blame he coach! It is ALL up to the players! ;)
Ranger D more of a problem than the forwards…...enough of the bottom 6…...we need 3 new D men
Del zaster HAS to hit the net, even if by accident!!
“High and wide!” has replaced “It’s a power play goal! as Sam’s catch phrase.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Sure, Carp. I’ll take a guaranteed point.
The poor starts are on Torts and/or Cally – the leadership needs to do a better job in the room….
The Kreider!
There is the nastiness that Kreider was learning in the AHL.
Nice move Kreider – time to wake up team
Good thing I am not paying to watch this drivel live
Can’t say I expected this. Should have expected this
Kreider is in the game now
I may be alone in this, but I’m really not impressed.
The juggernaut that is the Panters…
Richards coasts more than Jagr did at the end of his Rangers career. Just sayin
The mighty Miami defense!
I am Puddy Cat, hear me ROAR!
Bwahahaaaa
Gaborik can’t buy one…
Gabby=Sniper
“we did a lot of good things”
Good thing Richards is picking up the slack for Gaborik
Puddy Tats vs. the Smurfs!
Team looks flat…check
Cycle for cycle sake…check
richie and gabby floating…check
Torts line shuffler…check
MDZ cant hit net…check
4th line cant score…check
S.Nation – Gonzaga with the insane comeback
Del Zaster
Cute.
Fla – Gabby is elite
Del Zastrous!
ill be shocked if this is the roster we have come Sunday.
They’re gripping those sticks tight now…
booed off the ice
Ex3 = as in, those are some enormous Gonzagas?
sorry folks, this is a flawed team. It is what it is, a team struggling to stay above 500. I still say there not making the playoffs and even if they found a way to squeak in they will be 1 and done.
So they say E3!
Absolute AMATEUR-HOUR. F’ this team.
Gorton gonna make changes while Sather under the knife???
Kreider takes a stick on top of the helmet and five rabbit punches to the back of the head. Tough group we got here.
1-0 Senators over Bruins. Daugavi?š.
Hags(I think) giving MDZ a ‘Let it go’ bump on the bench.
Gabby’s goal/game will be under .45 now
lies, damn lies,
personally I wouldn’t waste 1 dollar to see this team live, they stink. They will be good enough to make you think they will make the playoffs but most likely they won’t.
I liked them better when they were mired in mediocrity. This just plain sucks.
Sun screen?!
DENTIST, Al! DENTIST!
people wonder why the ice at msg is so terrible
there are cars driving around on it at intermission for torts sake!!
“TJ, can I interrupt your answer about the weather to ask you what you think about Marty Brodeur scoring tonight?”
I’m going to go ahead and blame Trautwig for bringing up Brodeur’s stupid goal to Richards. That obviously killed Focus, Chemistry and Momentum
We should have never let Vinny Prospal go.
You have got to be effin kidding me with this team. Purge the roster. Fire everyone. Gabby 1 goal last 16 games. Boyle, Halpern, Pyatt Asham, Hamrlik, Powe. So much dead weight on this team. Not to mention no heart, no toughness & no grit. Les Miserables.
if ranger management wants this team to make the playoffs and make a run, there will need to be changes. Unfortunately there isn’t much management can do, there stuck with this team for this year.
It’s not easy to win when you’re facing backup goalies night after night
tommy – they are mired in mediocrity…enjoy!
NYR kryptonite: AHL Goaltending
We need
HaleyBickelAshamHagelin to start a fistfight to wake everyone up.The Ledge is gettin mighty full!
Martin Brodeur 1 goal, Rangers team 0
Just wait til our young Swedes get here
In the off season I would buy out Richards and try to trade Gaborik. What is the point of having these 2 players when you are struggling to stay above 500 and in the playoff race. To me, there useless. I rather pay some younger players in those spots with less cap hit. results couldn’t be any worse than what those 2 players bring every night.
They STINK.
Gabby trying, but reminds me of Jason Bay. At least Bay played defense.
Lance the Boyle?
“The Fla goalie is tall, sees everything, – Micheletti. What a goof.
You’re on a roll, Coos.
How bad is McIlrath if he ranks below Bickel, Eminger, HammerTime, and Gilroid??
If you are not feeling well after those first two periods, do not watch Richie or Gabby in the defensive zone or you may rip your face off your skull
Pidto – “Time flys when you’re having fun”
NO! (Grumpy cat face)
Rangers will win in a SO
Bring up Mongo!!!
Mcllrath isn’t bad he’s just super young, not ready and coming off of Knee surgery.
*assuming they don’t get shutout”
Ex3 – pass the doutchie on the left hand side…
Maybe Verbeek lace them up for the 3rd
As long as they are operating on Sather, maybe they could also try to get his head out of his Aasen.
Tickets for The Ledge are selling like hotcakes tonight
assuming they don’t get shutout
Coos, nail on the head with Bay / Gabby comparison. Nail on the Head!
Scotty Upshall with Goal #2
Keenan says they are tired
I still don’t know how that second goal went in??????
Momentum…...
S.Nation – here ya go…..
Keenan is like a buzzard, he’s circling, waiting for something to die, then swoop in…
S.Nation – its almost night time….
Brian Boyle’s hat said ‘Strike Out ALS’
Trautwig is obvious, but who else?
I love Torts, but if he goes, I’ll take Coach Iron Mike for these clowns
Keenan for Tortarella. That’s the big personnel change coming…
The Pimp has been right all along.
Rangers knew there was a Charp tomorrow, didn’t want to disappoint Carp.
We’re gonna dance to one song, and one song only: “Lady Humps” by the Blackeyed Peas.
No Charp, Rob.
8th seed or bust
I got the fever
Quality shots…we need them
I’m surprised Tortorella hasn’t been shuffling his lines much yet
No one knows what it means, but it’s provocative…
Looks like a shutout, gents
You know it’s really pathetic to be sitting here and feel like 2 goals is insurmountable.
Bust.
I know the coaches are “held accountable” for the powerplay in the same way that an baby is held accountable for spilling food on the kitchen table, but maybe it’s time the coaches are held accountable in more substantial ways.
safe is death…also very boring…death is boring
Glorious chances?! What is Sully watching? 1970’s Habs?
Neil Smith and Mike Keenan and the cup is ours once again
It’s night time…
Rangers’ record when Pitbull commercial is played 20+ times during game: 124-0-1
Otherwise: 1-8-2
BOOOOOOO. Now cannot get through the neutral zone. Worst team in years.
No more of Keenan
Put a fork in these clowns!
LET’S GO RANGERS! Let’s see your balls, uh ehh, make that intestinal fortitude
Weak…
is Step playing tonite?
Very few good shots
This team that is…
Forks…..definitely night time.
Sullivan >>“glorious chances tonight.”
Sullivan drunk on the Dolan Kool-Aid
oh well..back to FIFA on the ipad
Big, strong, and very VERY long…
Not exactly a good sign when team comes out for the 3rd like this.
I don’t think there are enough games left to hire Keenan and for him to have enough time to negotiate to coach two other teams.
That 3rd line looks pretty darn good. There’s a positive.
Sully celebrating St. Paddy’s week
3 below the goal line – prevent O
This “team” is complete-weaksauce
Need to get Nash away from the stiffs…1 point as a line in last 5 games
No slot presence on our offense
Callahan quiet tonight
wow it’s the captain’s birthday? brutal
Even Nash looks like Carcillo tonite – get him away from Richards and Gabby – waste of TOI
I did think there would be a shutout tonight. Just for a different team.
Agreed
Richards looks lost – is he healthy?
papa – werd
We have Brad Richards?!
This team needs total demolition and a complete rebuild.
you pessimists kills me with the shutout talk. it’s clear NYR will lose 2-1 tonight
How is CARP going to defend these clowns tomorrow morning? What excuse is there for this circus-show?
Tortorella looks exasperated. Wow.
More proof, for me, that this team will be in a fight for a PO spot until the end and then if they make it, they’ll exit quickly. I simply can’t see why I should expect anything different, given the importance of this game and the opposition.
I realize no game is easy now, but shouldn’t the Rangers have come out hard and dominated?
Well, if they are serious about being contenders and building on their 2 game win streak they should have. But they didn’t. Instead, now they need to have a huge 3rd period to gain even a point.
In other words, yet another incomplete game.
By, obvoiusly, an incomplete team.
Nash needs out there w Step and Cal
Hide the Garlic EEE
Chances don’t get much better than that…
can’t score two if ya can’t get one
Richards is shot, another great free agent signing by Sather. sather loves paying a high price for players who are past there golden years.
Reggie Dunlop: OK Guys. Show us what you got…
I’ve been to every Panthers home game this season. This is an embarrassment for the Rangers. I’m looking forward to finally getting to boo them in person next month. Pathetic.
37 shots on goal? Did someone fall asleep on the button or something?
this team is tough to figure
What a joke. Really.
Wow. Pansification. I assume Strachen thinks he got PK Slewfooted there…..Sheesh
Step Slewthighed him
TommyG, let’s be fair. Torts also wanted Richards…terrible signing, regardless
I’m so bald the crowd is booing. I absolutely agree I booing these mercenaries.
Including their goaltender the Panthers have 5 rookies playing tonight. One of which, Howden, Is playing in his first ever NHL game.
Nash on the PK…Finally. Eat your heart out Kovalchuk.
NYR pizza party at Drury’s after the game?
nice lev
Boyled or Nashed??
well, we had 1994…...once in a lifetime better than none
Halpern and powe for kopecky and parros
Poor Hank…
Pizza, Pizza
Tiki’d
ok why the hell did he just pass that?
why anyone would pass to gabby is beyond me
just got here but saw the shots are 37-16??hank really let 2 goals on 16 shots? i know were not allowed to say anything bad about him here or you sign your own death warrant, but cmon. dont tell me it was 2 really unstoppable fabulous shots nobody could ever save were they??
The Kreider needs to call a time out and get in their faces
Why would Nash PASS???
Boyle fell down
This team seems soooo disjointed sometimes…
Kreider definitely has more snarl. Nice to see. Definitely good to see JT Miller kind of leading the way for him and Boyle looks like a veteran between those two. Not bad.
Just awful, just a horrible team. And as easy to hate as last year’s was to love.
grabby – don’t blame hank, gabby, or boyle…..
Sather: I’m going to sign 31 year old Brad Richards for nine years and $60 million.
Tortarella: Great idea! What could possibly go wrong there?
I will give up on trying to find positives soon.
A purrfect road game by the Puddy Tats!
grabby dont event start. Hank’s saved the game about 6 times today. Watch the replays.
Sean Avery could help this team
It can’t be that bad if we have 37 shots, right?
Grabby, trade Hank for Jon Toews
6 goals in 6 games = offensive
Shades of Renney’s Rangers…
I can’t believe i spend any emotional capital on this bunch.
You’ll never get Toews from Chicago.
Fatso 1, Rangers ZERO
Gaby with 6 SOG
1st goal was a perfect shot on pp
2nd shot was a cluster byfuglein with Gabby lack of back check allowing his man to poke it in through a crowd
Team doesn’t score, you don’t blame the goalie
Trade….
PLEASE!!
And don’t tell me even Gretzky got traded.
Sather did that. That should tell you something.
Lol…
Olga, just as much chance that Toews gets traded as Lundqvist…
Is Richards the least physical player ever? Shades of EC…
oh boy. suspendable.
Oh. Great. How long will Nash get suspended for if Lopul got two…...
ha now nash will get suspended
Nash…because he’s not Neil…will get a Shanaban…
How many of those 38 shots have come from 2 feet in front of the goal line and 10 or more feet to Markstrom’s right?
No shame in getting shutout but a world class goaltender like…what’s his name again?
Boyle/gabby for Towes/sea biscuit
Nice Play Nasher!!!
Napa know how!!! N n n n napa know how!
Staal Wart March 21st, 2013 at 9:24 pm
Nash…because he’s not Neil…will get a Shanaban…
what does this have to do with Neil? are we still crying about a clean hit on Boyle?
What a bunch of no-talent clowns. Absolutely disgusting.
Nash’s hit actually deserves a 2 game ban. I say he gets 1 because of no history and he’s not that type of player
I predict the rangers will miss the playoffs….
You can never replace Gabby’s goal scoring…really?...really?...which goals are we referring to this season??
also Nash got beat on the boards and Del Zotto got beaten to the net on the second goal.
For all of Nash’s talent and offensive prowess, he takes some dumbassen penalties
Are we trading for Neil? Because I am totally in on that idea. Too bad he refused us already…
Just need 2 quick ones here
Gaborik will able to get a shot Joe?? My 3 yr old nephew could have stopped that ‘shot’
Boyle playing well tonight
hi I’m one of the idiot twins in that annoying commercial….and I am his idiot twin brother….we are fans of da RAIN GERS…we are wearing our THROW BACK jerseys….
I don’t agree Stranger. Lundqvist could’ve played that first goal better. Shot went up, he went down.
Has anybody else noticed that Nash has been off the past few games, his 1 goal notwithstanding?
Gabbbbbbbbyyyyyy!!!!
yea, no surprise for me. I’ve been posting that this is a flawed team and won’t make the playoffs. Columbus will be laughing all the way to the lottery table.
GAAAAAAAAAAAABBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBYYYYYYYYY
You were saying…
Now THAT is a 40+ goal scorer move. Poor guy. Finally he gets one. ..... and everyone loves him again.
Gaborik scores?
woo hoo
Gaby Gaby Gaby!!!!!
Win or lose, Gaborik has been busting it, deserved that one.
And a little of that Slovakian pork loin in the face of the rookie goaltender.
Nash showing the frustration of playing with the elites
That’s a ‘want it’ goal
Carp, I still sign off on a shootout. Prust Sayin’
finally. geez.
It’s very funny to me that I was listening to The Allman Brothers and Gaborik scores while “Whipping Post” is playing.
can’t get three if you dont get two
too much play around the net and along the boards! we need goals! why are they insisting on playing this way?!
Imagine if the Rangers played 60 minutes instead of 5.
See? I told ya so! HA!
I guess Richards is next…
Foxwoods Final 2 1/2
behind the net i meant*
Gaborik’s value is at a season-high..time to pull the trigger
too little too late…
Gaborik has been playing hard, for sure.
too bad bickel isnt playing…this is where he shines
Was destined to finish 2-1 or 3-1 as soon as Joe Mich said “next goal wins” when it was 2-0.
McD scores
Boyle has played very well and produced 0 goals.
LET’S GO!!!
unbelievable
Fleish did NOTHING. Love it.
i was just asking how the goals were, not really blaming him for us not scoring, i get that. and lev, i’m asking because i have not seen the game, cannot watch it. i will watch the replays later.butt and thats a big one!, i will start on hank if i damn well please. nobody is safe from criticism on this team this season. u dont like it, u can go catch out on a fruit wrinkle floating down the river boyeeeeeeeeeeeeeee, j/k buddy, ;)
It’s not over
that’s all she wrote… this team will NOT make the postseason
He givith and he taketh
Admiral – he plays hard on one side of the ice.
Poor back check gave up one and he evened it out
Is this the
Barf!
Shoot, shoot, shoot, say the fans. Whoops.
still have a chance
Awful
Fat Lady is bellowing!!!
Hey Torts…see what happens when you don’t lay down to block a shot…
Thank You and arrive home safely.
so does eric win a couple of dogs?
puke..that’s a funny word
Can’t finish if you don’t start
As The Dude (or more appropriately Walter) would say, ” Eff It. Let’s go Bowling”
Want to make a bet CCCP? How about a half of a MSG hot dog?
That sucked
Any update on Staal injury?
Where’s Sauer?
Mongo?
This is how this team’s been playing since the end of the regular season last year… inTORTsisten (inconsistent)
We should’ve declined that power play. They have no idea where to play and take shots from. They suck! This is the friggin Panthers for Gretzky’s sake!
So I called it 8am this morning. No name goalie and some unknown goal scorer are the story line for the night. Unreal
Apu: Thank you. come again.
Another coaches loss. Can’t even scout correctly with a day off inbetween a game. With the amount of effort the Rangers gave. They should’ve been up by three goals.
Ledge.
Rangers will win out and make the 4th seed
cough cough cough cough
buzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
You don’t have to go home…but you can’t stay here
worst loss of the season…until the next one
NYR_FAN
i can’t even afford a quarter of the MSG hot dog and you want half?! OK! ill refinance my house (which i dont have) for this bet!
OU’RE ON! HALF OF MSG HOT DOG, BUDDY! Y
I can see sound
guys, remember this morning? wasnt it nice?
All year long waiting for these fellas to come on to the schedule… I guess 8th place is their one and only objective.
just another of many lack luster, non performing games by the rangers. It’s obvious to me nothing has changed with this team. They will struggle to remain a 500 club and probably won’t make the playoffs. I can’t see any trades in the near future changing the performance of this team.
Rangers are done like dinner.
Cooked.
Find something to keep you busy after April 27.
Ledge is closed through the remainder of SUPPORT YOUR TEAM WEEK.
I bought a piece of the Ledge.
Boyle played his best game of the year
The should have Richards hang in Center Ice to keep him away from the defensive zone.
Mandatory Hang Rule for Richards
Give the other goalie some credit here… he stopped 40+ shots tonight.
I think one (of many) things this team is lacking is good play in front of the other team’s net. You need that guy with good hands and good positioning to get the garbage goals and create traffic/block the other goalie’s view.
Signing off,
Captain Obvious :)
Boyle played his best game of the year
Papa, that’s like saying Guatemala sent troops to support Desert Storm.
It’s never over until it’s over
If the rangers played 1000 games, they’d win 500
Plus their pk would give up 1000 goals
This team will make the playoffs but I don’t expect a deep run.
The only reason I say that is because there isn’t enough real veteran leadership on this team….
Say what you want but guys like Fedotenko, Prospal, Prust(and even Dubi) were guys that were leaders and glued the team together…
Richards honestly looks like he can’t handle the pressure of playing in NYC…no leadership qualities whatsoever…am I wrong? I hope I am…
Just think about how much more balanced this team would be with Vinny Prospal in place of Pyatt, for example…
Six on Four, all forwards, and Step and Gaby winding up and shooting from 40 feet.
Now for the Nash suspension.
Go Hawks
Almost time for the Mea Culpa interviews…
Go Hawks, eddie.
Vinny P. having a good year.
Embarrassing.
I can see sound
I can hear colors…
You’ve been told, so maybe it’s time that you learned
You’ve been sold, maybe it’s time that you earned
I can’t stand it
You’re fooling around, I can’t stand it
You’re running around, I won’t stand it
You’re fooling around with my heart
I’ll explain, I feel like I’m being used
Make it plain, so you don’t get confused
I can’t stand it
You’re fooling around, I won’t stand it
You’re running around, I can’t stand it
You’re fooling around with my heart
On the bright side, Hamrlk played a heck of a 25 second shift.
Hawks – Penguins will be a great final. Hawks in 7.
Carp, can you ask Torts about Brodeur’s goal in the presser?
This is how bad it was tonight: I started looking forward to the Mets season.
Preach on Papa
how can they not be prepared for this game? How? That is a POOR assen coaching
Didn’t see much TV coverage but just enough to see Girardi’s painfully lame clearing attempt that led to Miami’s first goal
Our pk is killing us this year
I finally had the chance to see a post-game report (they don’t show them on left of center ice) and I had absolutely no desire to do so.
LW – that’s funny
Good call LW3H
Fat Guy – you are wrong. They had 2 shots on 2 PP chances. What’s not to like?
Gaborik’s 31 and Micheletti says he is slowly gaining in confidence. Richards is just about 33 and will develop confidence as he matures.
I’ll not have your vile ways brought aboard my ship, sir! Do you understand? Now you’ll call up the swabbing party yet again! And this time you will make bloody sure that the decks are clean, or by God you will answer for it, sir! I’ll not have any of your foul, filthy, gutter ways on board my ship! Do you understand? Good God, pigs in a sty have more comprehension of cleanliness than you buggers have! Now you’ll get these decks clean, or by God I’ll make you lick them clean with your tongue if you don’t mend your ways!
I said it before and I’ll say it again. I’ve seen every home game that the Panthers have had, a whopping 4 of which they won, and I always wonder who will be the next team that gets embarrassed by them. Looks like it was us tonight. shocker.
Lets Go Mets
Lets Go Mets!
The Bruins / Senators game is awesome.
Terrible shot selection by Gaborik on the EN goal.
Papa B – you’re devoting way too many words for one post. :)
What in the Wide Wide World of Torts is going on around here?
Werd
This team didn’t care until halfway through the 3rd. That’s a good strategy. How many of those 40+ shots were crappy far away angled shots, ill-played wraparounds and attempts to copy Nash by pulling across the crease? Close to all probably.
On the day Richards signed
The coaches all gathered ‘round
And they gazed in wide wonder
At the joy they had found
Tortarella spoke up
Said “leave this one alone”
He could tell right away
That he played bad at home
Play bad at home
Play bad at home
B-B-B-B-Bad
B-B-B-B-Bad
B-B-B-B-Bad
Play bad at home
We should trade for Fatty brodeur to bolster our offense.
Turd
stevezipay Lundqvist: “We did a lot of good things but its getting old. We’ve got to put the puck in the net”
hey CCCP, “a lot of good things”!!
Curd
Bingo
Torts has plans to write a Bobby Knight book and get $20,000 speaking fees, explaining how to throw chairs and thrive to IBM executives.
Kooz – gabby and Richards have potential.
When did the Panthers sign Patrick Roy?
Who is gonna be the fall guy for this nightmare? Me? A lotta good that’ll do
Papa – now you’re adding them up, quickly!!

Henrik turning into a real New Yorker. He just said, “It is what it is.”
Papa, McHale’s Navy, no?
Hank starting to sound like Torts – “we did a lot of good things”
GOOD LOOKS, LEV!
I’m signing off tonite by simply saying that this year’s team sux, in a win-500-out-of-1000 kind of way
Newbear, no.
Go Hawks Go
hey, newbear, you’re right about the ice, especially at MSG. We landed on the moon 45 years ago, but they can’t freeze ice.
We’ve lost an oar, Fat Guy has bailed
that was a gift goal for campbell with hank and McD both on their knees giving campbell all the room in the world to score
Many have bailed
Go Chernomorets Go!
(my soccer team from Odessa, UA!)
Two grown men on there knees at the same time….. Sheesh
Their knees
Our goalie was so bad he has a six hole.
Wonder how Schoenfeld at 60 would look like with #44 on his back.
Zero slot presence. Y?
I was thinking Chernobyl, CCCP.
Three legs?
Sandy McCarthy wants a tryout
Rodney!!! Where’s Wang?
Touche, Olga
Is that Irish, O’Dessa?
Wonder how Schoenfeld at 60 would look like with #44 on his back.
He’d be on his back with #44 under him.
Zero slot presence. Y?
Because…
Have no fear – I shant disappear.
Keenan used to send out Flyer thugs to assault Maloney and now the sit as friends side by side. Yes it’s a wonderful world!
yes it is, cooscoos :D
O’Dessa! I like it!
After the last game I told my psychiatrist, “I keep thinking about suicide.” He told me from now on I have to pay in advance.
Has Richards achieved Gomez status yet?
Richie to bartender at 11:10, “Can you make a shoe smell?’
“No, but you can.”
But Rodney,, Where’s Wang?
My horse has been talking to me.
Gomez from The Addams Family.
In search of winning Hockey games.
Torts needs a little Black Bush
Talk is cheap.
No name of Torts’ tombstone. Just says: “None of Your Business Who Lies Here.”
I asked the coach if I could go ice-skating on the lake. He told me, “Wait til it gets warmer.”
Papa! You just reminded me. Many thanx.
If that’s an attempt by Torts to earn clemency, I spit on it.
Coos your welcome…. Not sure for what
What was it you mixed with the Bailey’s? Bush? I have a new supply of both.
Keenan not at all agreeing with Torts.
okay, so I am late to the “party” I know, Inot after that loss, but I was trying to get work done in between this but this has been bugging me since between the 2nd and 3rd period intermission.
Why would Al Trautwig ask Brad Richards if he could believe that Brodeur got a goal? Who cares? It’s a Rangers game. NYR just beat the Devils. Their fans aren’t watching Rangers plaY. Richards, poor guy was professional enough to answer I would believe it.
Torts – all 4 ft. 10 inches of him – needs some new tricks.
My horse has a huge tongue.
I remember I was so depressed after the game I was going out on the ledge to jump. They sent a priest up to talk to me. He said, “On your mark…”
Yes a Hells Kitchen. Mix lightly. Drink heavily
Al Troutwig is an empty head.
My horse drinks it too.
Loved the unretaliated-for six neck jabs Kreider took for crashing the net.
Sis – you didn’t miss much
Thanks Wilbur…..That’s right Cooz. A Hells Kitchen .
jpg’s sis – you said it!
new post.
I think Nash tried to jump around the player, not into him…
Watch Nash take two games from the league.
I went to see my doctor… Doctor Vinnie-Boomba. Yeah…I told him once, “Doctor, every morning after watching the Rangers I feel like throwing up. What’s wrong with me? He said, “I don’t know, but your eyesight is perfect.”
Having said that.. He’ll probably sit a game. Revenge of the Shanahan.
We stayin’ here or we movin’ on? If we stay, someone should notify the boneheads on the other post who will complain no one shows up after a defeat either.
“Bada bang”
I REALLY need Craig Carton coming on my TV after a Ranger Game.
There’s only two oars right now, 2 1/2 if you count EEE jumping in and out. Less than 5 oars, I vote we move.
650
I’m not starting over…
650 now
If eee’s not here, we got no shot unless we stay up ‘til 1:30. What up, E3?
Well, we do have Rodney and Wilbur
Torts will not be happy driving home in his car seat.
Newbear was here earlier but vaporized
At Christmas time at MSG, I sat on Sather’s lap. His fly was open ! Boy what a present he gave me !
I see 1000 posts
There’s no one over there.
Sather wakes up 20 times each night to pee…. He must be exhausted.
Sorry gents, I can’t stick around. My horse has an early appointment with his speech pathologist which I must ride him to.
Newbie wears camouflage on his tongue so we can’t see him when he’s speaking.
There’s only one thing wrong with the Rangers game – we can see it.
Mike Milbury for head coach
I could find not one person to vote for. And that includes politicians.
Whoosh..BOOM, CRASH…Burn
Downtrodden group of Boneheads tonite. can’t say I blame them.
Hi – Im Mr. Ed
Vladimir GasPutin and Steven Segall promoting physical fitness in Odessa !
How old are you Rodney?
Went to a bar for a few drinks with Sather. He asked what I wanted. I said “surprise me” so he showed me a naked picture of James Dolan.
Of course.
Papa – it’s not even depressing anymore….. I have accepted it.
new post(s).
I notified other post that we’re going for the grand, baby. Unless Carp objects.
Hearse drivers are staying here !!
What up Newbear?
Is that an objection? must be two posts behind.
Mr. Sather won’t be given you that Christmas present this year, not after today, little Rodney.
There will be several trades – gabby and Boyle are goners me thinks.
Newbie out of forks, now using salad tong torture techinques.
Got myself a new bottle of the Tullamore in anticipation eddie3
This team ain’t so fun to watch.
I once asked a policeman how far it was from MSG to the subway. he said, “I don’t know, no one has ever made it”.
Glad you held that info for only E3. I don’t want to know.
Their quality of life is greatly compromised now, no?
Gabby reminds me of so many decent BB hitters I saw pre- juice who lost that nanosecond in their swing and faded into obscurity. The other hot dog, Richards, he winds up in slow motion these days. “Everybody ready, I’m about to shoot.”
coos, you a teetotaller?
I tell ya I get no respect from anyone. I bought a place out on the ledge. The ledge landlord said, “There goes the neighborhood!”
I like Millers game. Hope he can score the occasional goal
Think we can get the canadiens to trade for Hamr?
Torts is funny
Come on, Rodney, it’s a time share now
Got a Papa Zombie in front of me, bear, Black Bush and Bailey’s.
I don’t drink anything stronger than pop.
Pop would drink anything he could get his hands on.
If it were good, it wouldn’t be bad
Richards, by rights, should be released this summer
As of tonite, I wrote Torts out of my will
I’m drinking mineral water
Well, I’m back.
I don’t get no respect, you know what I mean?
Torts has Hamrlk in a full nelson
My dog has fleas
I’ve gone 150 days without a drink.
Thank God for nights…
Go hawks go…..
EGBDF
Funny, the TOIs and the IRVs and the PPLs and GD0s all point to Ranger victories.
Time to give Zuccs a ton of minutes, especially on the powerless play.
Sather should talk Kovy out of retirement. He’s good for no goals the rest of the season
Boyle for Kopitar
Whenever a puck DOES pop out in front of the net, there’s no one there.
I think EJ drinks in the studio – that guy is such a tool
When we were sick as kids, my Grandma used to put a splash of Grandpa’s Bushmills in our tea. I would fake sick a lot.
EJ’s another graduate of The Journal News, E3.
The bartender says, “Hey! No pets allowed in here! You’ll have to leave! ”
The man begs, “Look I’m desperate. We’re both big Isles fans, my TV set is broken, and this is the only place we can see the game! ”
After securing a promise that the dog will behave and warning him that if there is any trouble they will be thrown out, the bartender relents and allows them to stay in the bar and watch the game.
The game begins with the Islanders winning the faceoff. They sweep across the blueline, fire a shot and it rings off the crossbar and in the net. With that the dog jumps up on the bar and begins walking up and down the bar barking and giving everyone a high-five.
The bartender says, “Wow that is the most amazing thing I’ve ever seen! What does the dog do if they win a playoff series?”
“I don’t know,” replies the owner, “I’ve only had him for seventeen years.”
EJ?
Too bad Dolan is a moron. Slats needs to go.
Don’t want ya drinking alone Coos, so I’m gonna poor a little taste of BB myself. help me get over this tough loss.
That was always a good one, Olga.
Carp – am I off on EJ? He seems like such a ding dong
Now you’re
talkin’imbibing, O’Bear.Kooz – EJ Hradek (sp) – studio host on NHL channel
I have no idea which post to respond to anymore! lol
So…. repost:
I’ve gotta say, I’ve been watching Florida all yearlong now and this was one of their best efforts, especially defensively. BTW, other than one other start this season, Markstrom has let in at least 2 bad goals a game. Everyone seems to come to play the rags. You would’ve thought we’d got most of the losing out of us in the first half of the schedule to the good teams. Apparently whoever we play on any given night is a good team. Oy vey.
FIRE SATHER!
That’s all I wanted. But if the lord sees fit to grant it this way… It is what it is.
Carp doesn’t want to be quoted, as you don’t about that fruit-loops Organic Chemistry professor on your faculty. :)
This team could use some EJ. Eddie Johnstone.
I so agree coos. No one’s ever in front for rebounds.
Rags?
Oy vey, indeed, Evrock.
Kooz – werd
Colton Orr pounded Kaleta tonight – pounded him
Curious, who did y’all vote for? I couldn’t find a name. There were a few who were competent, but stars? You can almost always put Henrik in there, but he faced few shots it seemed.
I voted for Biron. Call it a protest vote.
Or a wasted one.
I’m never able to vote from my ipad
Henrik on bench again watching empty netter – “there goes my goals against again in the wrong direction.” Do they count against the missing goalie?
Extend Sather
Biron may have the most votes for the season
Kooze- no – doesnt count against GAA
Biron can move the puck. Henrik likes to snag the wide shots.
Olga – hawks/pens ….. Hawks/bruins. Hawks/Habs. All great finals
Thx. Didn’t think it should.
Looked as if Stepan and MDZ went to the same party last night
Biron is a good goalie.
It seems that the most popular suffixes for the proper names in the Uppsala phone book are ”-quist” and ”-strom”, so I honor them all, coos.
Probably hooked up With Duguay
Something tells me the Habs can’t keep this up – but, such a short season…
MDZ bumbled and stumbled
Kreider Chris was non-factor, but at least he wasn’t a shrinking violet on this night.
Eddie3, did you mean a “Wang” extension?
Duguay is pretty
Imagine Hags playing with Ovechkin?
Newbear – extend Sather on a rack – bound and gagged – pulled in 2 directions
Should have never sent down Haley – that guy was obviously why we won the last 2.
No jam, No bite, no grit – everything outside, wide or behind the goal
Death, where is thy sting?
I have an Uppsala phone book around here somewhere. I’ll check it out.
Eddie- Pens scare me a little. Montreal, Bruins v. Hawks, No Sweat.
Rangers can trade Lundqvist to Chicago. Do they need another Bickell? I’d throw in Crawford and Emory. They wouldn’t be needed anyway.
A 67% of Americans believe the Hell is a real place – so many Ranger fans ? Incroyable!!!
Might sound silly, stranger, but you hit upon something.
Kreider stands still too much – needs to be in motion more….that pass out to miller … Shot….. Puck laying in the crease….. If Kreider continues skating he has easy goal
Hamlet?
Dante’s view is most refreshing.
Omelet?
EEE, saw the exact same thing on the replay. Kreider Chris makes the pass to the point, good play…..admires the pass and stops in the corner….. Bad play.
Kreider is a standee. Like Hamlet, right papa. Rare time that he gets in motion, he’s traveling east to west after a guy with the puck who has already dished it off.
Pancakes?
Let me just say, I love Hags game, his never ending hustle and effort. Just a joy to watch, but he has no idea what to do with the puck when he has it.
For as much as he has the puck, you rarely see any good passes, its all cycle, cycle, cycle and then sweep around goal for a half baked shot
Stranger said baked…
Eggsactly, Olga
Eggs Benedictus?
Need
Useless. Like rain falling on oceans.
Papa – we see things
Eddie3, I agree on Kreider, there are subtleties and differences in how every player with obvious talent adapts to a slightly different game, but he is a gem that should not be “Prucha’d”?
Bacon?
Fish need to drink Coos.
If someone would park in front of the damned net, maybe Hags would have someone to pass to instead of his fruitless wrap arounds.

Kooz – werd….. Heard that
Thought Kreider played OK. Would like to see him with Step and Nash.
There’s a large ad behind the Ranger bench for the Hospital of Joint Diseases. So, if anyone out there has a diseased joint, you know where to go.
Daytime
Kooz – you are a stupid moron idiot dumb loser for saying that about anyone.
If the could trade Richards, the would probably have to put Kreider Chris or Haglin in the deal. We stuck with him.
Agree, newbear.
great point, dde.
Stranger,
they scor two cheap goals tonite, the first with Hank on his knees, and the Rangers were half a step behind at the wall and in the neutral zone – then it is hard to know what to do with the puck when you get it, I agree. They should stay away from such a performance.
Olga soon joining Mother with game misconduct, (used to call it gross) suspension.
S.Nation – I agree – let’s do line combos
Rangers are toast. Cooked. Baked. Finished. Can’t beat the worst team in the Conference.
Bach’s birthday?
Richards auditioning for the Weakest player in NHL
No organ jokes.
Torts is a very stubborn coach
What’s better than Four Roses on the Piano?
Tulips on the organ.
dde? Dwight Eisenhower?
Where in trouble, but I don’t agree with what Sal the Construction Guy posted earlier:
“We need a full demolition followed by a complete rebuild.”
newbear ( same as the old bear?) – agree they were flat and listless. mthat first goal was a rip over Hank’s glove, top right corner from their best player in the circle.
We are lucky McD didnt eat that thing, missed his squash by an inch or two
We need a Headectomy. The top of the organization has to go.
Kreider actually crashes the net and takes a 30 second after whistle beating. Guess he won’t be doing that anymore unless they put him on a line with Haley and Ash.
missed the presser – did Mr Rogers console the bereaved?
Strange …I noticed that on the super slow mo.. McD almost caught that one in the mush.
Ringo’s Ex Birthday now , coos ? She is a Sag….
He was actually smacking the player in his hand with the back of his head. It was a reverse head but to the hand. Brilliant move by Kreider Chris.
Visors and cut the goalie pads in half and no whirlwind wind up slap shots. Can’t imagine the names I’d be called in the daytime.
Kreider was Larry to the Panthers trio of Mo, moe, and maurice behind the net. first the push back into the net, followed by the back of helmet pushed forward and finishing with the glove love jabs to the back of his noggin.
Classic Stooges, right Iggy?
8 miles high
Sag’s late Nov- early Dec.
Change the uniforms. I’d love it if a Ranger hammered on someone for 30 seconds after the whistle.
Torts “other starts have been worse”
Ironic that our toughest players are Cally and Nash. It is to laugh.
awaiting moderation? somebody call my attorney
Rangers play hockey like tennis was played in the 1950’s – very genteel.
I’ll really go out on a limb – what does Kreider right now bring you that is superior to Haley? (Poster ducks flying hot dogs, jumbo drinks)
I’ve called attorneys a lot of things…
Hey Stranger, not the same as the old bear (don’t know him), but anyway no space (between the ears), I hope, ha. But in general, you and I are watching the same game. However, I do not like Henrik on his knees prematurely ( I used to play that position once upon the time).
Is Bickel that bad? This game needed a donnybrook to get the trademen riled and vocal!
S.nation – what happened? Do you need the services of Eddie, Eddie, & Eddie. A professional Corporation?
If Kreider Chris spent some time in the house grew up in, especially at the dinner table, he’d have no problem with aggression and quickness.
Bickel is not much worse than Eminger, IMHO, and he brings some steak sauce.
Haley over Piehat. makes ruff, ruff look like bobby bourne
Bickel is better than hammer
Youve got to change your evil ways… baby
Before I stop loving you.
Youve go to change… baby
And every word that I say, it’s true.
Youve got me running and hiding
All over town.
Youve got me sneaking and peeping
And running you down
This can’t go on…
Lord knows you got to change… baby.
Santana rule(d)s
newbie – Hank has been getting scored on high glove all season. Campbell wristed a great shot, but Hank should be in front of goal line to cut down angle if getting on his knees like some Tunnel tranny
The scouting report on Kreider Chris coming out of college include among the many positive declarations, ” sometimes takes the night off….. could be more assertive in his play”
Rangers need a heart transplant. And luck. Maybe the unluckiest team in the league. They cannot buy a break.
Henrik is a low goalie. That he is not scored upon more is a testament to his quickness or to the ignorance of the opposition.
McD would have killed had that first goal hit him instead. They need to stop the shot blocking BS
McD would have been killed…...
Did ya ever have a fist fight with your older brother for the last half corn muffin at the dinner table, Kreider Chris?
“Could be more assertive.” At BC. That’s with a face mask like Justin Tuck’s and no fighting. What does that tell us, class.
Starting to Chum.
Kreider grew up in a country club it seems. But I like him….
Be strong papa
Only 150 to go
You
Can
Do
Kreider Chris may be too Intelligent for his own good. He understands the risk associated with a high speed collision and has decided to reduce that risk by avoiding such collisions.
It
Papa, I had a cousin way back who came out of St. Jerome’s parish and was up for a title bout when he was sadly killed in the ring due to a cerebral hemorrhage. His father told me that his three brothers at home who all worked for the railroads beat him up regularly. Always got a smile from that story.
Slats should have signed Shane Doan – that’s the kind of player we don’t have this season.
That’s some story Coos
Good point EEE. Shane Doan
Kooz – that is depressing
Papa bear- you reminded me of the time I pushed back the chair of my older brother while he was standing up filling his plate at the dinner table. When he sat down, the chair was gone. I was about ten, and it seemed exceedingly funny at the time. A tongue lashing from my parents and a severe beatdown from my brother later had convinced me otherwise.
:)
Eddie – agree on 6 goalie D formation. what is this? paint ball?
Even bad teams sometimes get uncontested shots from the slot. We don’t seem to get any.
Papa – I only make good points. This is the night time.
It happened so long ago that the sadness is gone and it has become family lore. We’re Irish, remember/
So Kreider needs a massive re-education camp, in that case, let us wait for the next season’s training camp. If that doesn’t work, than it’s back to the hockey country club, wherever it’s at.

My earlier post, cleaned up
Kreider was Larry to the Panthers trio of Mo, moe, and maurice behind the net. first the push back into the net, followed by the back of helmet pushed forward and finishing with the glove jabs to the back of his noggin.
Classic Stooges, right Iggy?
I can beat all y’all – I reached out to grab a piece of steak off my father’s plate (I was about 11) and he stabbed my thumb with his fork – still have the scar.
In the trench, look to the left, Callaghan…..looked to the right, Kreider Chris…. I’m paying more attention to my right….four sho.
Kreider reminds me of someone who has a two handicap and is the fastest guy at the club to turn in his scores. (Boy am I going to take a verbal tongue lashing from someone who I have yet to meet and probably never will) So be it.
Kreider was Larry to the Panthers trio of Mo, moe, and maurice behind the net. first the push back into the net, followed by the back of helmet pushed forward and finishing with the glove jabs to the back of his noggin.
Irish fathers loved beating their children.
E3 – lucky it was the fork, eh?
Eddie – I had a golf partner who told me that same story. He was a tough (really tough) Italian from Jersey, and he laughed it off. True.
Kooz – there were some good attacks today… Eh S.nation??
There are many fork stories on the late night.
That’s the trouble newbear. The Rangers think they are at the Country Club now. It’s the green flu. Once you give these past-their-prime players a fat paycheck they go all Caddyshack on you and don’t play for sheet.
When his wife divorced him, he lost the house and the Country Club. In the parking lot of Dunwoodie Golf Course, as we leaned against a golf cart, he said: “This is the last year I change my shoes in a goddamned parking lot!”
If you come to a fork in the road…. return it to Newbear.
Kreider needs to wake up tomorrow as a man and decide he is going to destroy some Dman on the forecheck. He’ll earn more room a la Loose-cheeks if he starts throwing his considerable frame around.
Another time I opened a new bottle of ketchup with a few drops still in the old one sitting on the table…. He reached out, grabbed the old bottle, and broke it over my hand as I held the new bottle…. I looked around and said to myself “really???????” No one even flinched.
A joe Torre moment
Ahhhh, the good ole days.
Wow, we’re closing in on 1,000 with some really good posts!
Olga, exactly the subtext I meant, expertly clarified by you, seriously.
Does Boyle stick even have a curve? Handles it like some Nordic oar
Janis said it best…
You say that it’s over baby, Lord,
You say that it’s over now,
But still you hang around me, come on,
Won’t you move over.
Move over. The Rangers are done.
stranger, there have been beaucoup legitimate scorers of old who started out first getting respect, and then more ice to move in. In the interest of time, I won’t list them, but you know.
The penguins game showed we look like against a good team.
I said before, we have a wrong Boyle…
You mean I got it right? :)
Kreider Chris is trade bate….......Reminds me of Chris Kontos from days gone buy. Big boy, good wheels, never reached his potentional
Showed what
coos – thats my pr. Time and Space is earned the hard way unless you are Wojtek Wolski
Olga, no doubt
Kreider simply need not de-accelerate into his checks.
Spelling getting really bad as sleep comes over me.
Olga – you have been right for a long time…
Extend Sather
eee, I had once a colleague, a psychologist, with whom I used to go skeet shooting, and who grew up on Riverside Drive, and called himself ‘Riverside Red, and he said growing up, if he had a book in his hand, his father would take it from him and hit him over the head with it, and say, ‘go outside.’ He said he became a Ph.D in defiance. lol
Papa , I most sincerely hope that you are wrong with Kontos reminder, I like this Chris…
Time and space – great variables
this game and the jets game – 2 losses at home against teams you should beat
aww fudge…
e3 – sent you the Nabokov article. short. funny.
the pairing of Em and Hamr would have been perfect…8 years ago
Newbear, Kontos even looked like Kreider Chris.
Are
We
Kooz – my father thought school was for stupid people. Seriously.
Closing in?
short. funny. Thats what she said…
Thx – ill check it out…..
school of hard knocks?
Short. Funny. Torts?
Aw, shucks. Papa, hope this ain’t fatal
Another friend, from Austin who was on the Pulitzer short list for Poetry, and his family, devout born-agains, did not want him educated. Another Ph.D in defiance. :)
Don’t go all “Sather” on me Eddie. I wish no ill will on him. I like him as well as the next guy. Seems the next guy is Dick Cheney though. Maybe he will see the bigger picture and fade out into the sunset. Pass the baton. Or pass the bacon. It’s a good plan either way. (I like bacon).
We
The Green flu – with Richards it may be lethal.
Can
lol tonight, again,
S.nation – a great quote of the old man “college is for morons”
...be there
.....soon
Any presser update from Tart, I mean, Torts?
Green flu – big contract, lost interest
....if we
Ahhhhh… Days of future passed.
I’m awaiting moderation for D*ck Cheney?
...all
.....row together.
Torts said the boys have to pick it up. Duh
Try Richard Chaney
Torts calls Carp, ‘Carpie.’ I mean…..
Speaking of all these imaginary families, my family was for real, there was a long standing tradition not to have any children, for obvious reasons..
College now is a Country Club, seemingly a ‘necessary’ step to align with the order of post-professionalism social network.
About to write my first tuition check…value prop is upside down me thinks
College Hockey coach to Wilt Chamberlain, “Ever skate, son?”
Wilt: “I’m obligated elsewhere.”
I could believe your family was imaginary. You insinuating ours are?
Cheney should have played Penguin wah wah wah wah wah wah wah wah wah
Did the boys drop something?
Team pride, professionalism, and true grit may be missing…
Man,I wrote a lot of them, stranger.
The sandman beckons…
onward and upward gents
Too many students treat school like something to do…..passion for learning is best… Intellectual curiosity a good thing….
Mine are still bouncing somewhere
Nite – stranger
Passion!
Yes, talk fast kids, some of us have to work tomorrow.
Or at least show up…
coos, you suffer from a “geminderweltlichkeit komplex”? That’s a 2-1 pass, empty net stuff!!!
It’s only money
Nite Stranger. Stranger than most… :)
Had a girl senior once who couldn’t put two coherent sentences together. I asked her what she was planning to do after graduation and she said she had gotten in the graduate program at Syracuse. Gulp!
that’s right, had gotten. :)
Camera panned to the bench during the 3rd period and showed Pyatt, Powe and Halpern sitting together at the end of the bench. The men looked quite pissed…....That is the kind of stuff that can tear a team up.
what’s our number? newbie has to get back to the grassy tomb by 1AM
Did you score?
Pyie, Powee, and Halpie?
Five oh 2 go
forty nine now
I had a chemist once ask me how many milligrams were in a gram. All I could manage to stammer was “So, where did you go to school?”
anyone new here who can join the 1000 club? It’s an honor.
We need some good Samaritans to help us get there
lol olga
No longer referring to “that” game coos !
Werd
And when I write lol, I AM laughing out loud! not a throwaway,
Maybe you should troll on the new thread, see if someone would like to get their 1000 button tonight?
Is Olga still here?
Olga – great having you ‘round
long as you keep calling me coos I know you
lovelike me.39 to go
You gents need help? I could stand up for a few.
The BUTTON!
Burn the holy picture
Llol – literally laughing out loud
Olga , that chemist was quer, for sure
Hugh – how is your bro, harry?
So who do the Rangers lose to next? I have no confidence they can beat anybody after tonight.
My boy Radjabov lost today… A portent of things to come
I could use a little yapping right now.
newbie – ever do the 1000 club? I know you’ve been here late.
Crapitals on Sunday, I think
26 to go
Bring back Haley and Ash and keep Kreider and the hell with it if we lose Sunday.
Olga’s here, but not for long. Work seems to interfere with late night activities.
Harry? I haven’t heard from him. he’s been in the bush for a while.
Chris Christie jokes are always good
Black and blue some of the crybabies while they go on to their pyrrhic glories.
We have been quite unfunny tonight
I wish I was an UES trust fund kinda guy
coos, I will go for a 1000, as long as Carp manages to police both blogs, we do not want to inconvenience…
Pyatt and halperen suck – ash and Haley 4 those 2
Tomorrow AM: “Freiken weirdos. Anybody see last night’s posts? Selling wolf tickets and howling like Bowery lowlifes.
Heavenly shades of night are falling
It’s twilight time
Out of the mist your voice is calling
It’s twilight time
When purple colored curtains
Mark the end of the day
I hear you my dear at twilight time
Deepening shadows gather splendor
As day is done
Fingers of night will soon surrender
The setting sun
I count the moments darling
Till you’re here with me
Together at last at twilight time
The Platters.
Is anyone over on the newer posts?
eddie3, you think this unfunny ? So get the hell to work, no?
It is bothersome, I’ll say….
Newbie, nice of you to hang for the number. Gotta row though, no free passage to the other side.
Last 1000, Carp gave his blessing, newbie.
Let’s do this..
I am usually not funny – very serious chap
Olga puts “The Platters” after that. I thought it was Tom Waits.
You’re as funny as chapped lips.
JR – ‘I can’t even count that high”
The ball is dropping
I heard that olga
Newbie you ready we’re real close, don’t close your eyes
“I laugh a lot, but tend to hand out a lot of C’s to those who don’t do the work.” :)
Papa ready to release
I see a reality show
I don’t know who wrote it, I know who I was listening to though…
Laughing is good for the soul
I don’t know who wrote it, either.
Did newbie cross with us?
Bombas ova Tokyo
We could definitely do a round table discussion
Wow. A Thousand. That’s how many milligrams are in a gram.
Humor like porn, hard to define but you know it when you see it
newbie’s gonna have to prove himself by posting after 1000
Made it across with you guys, where do I get my button?
Graham Crackers dunked in milk
Are we there?
We give virtual trophies
We need a short list of those who have earned the button.
Nytol. Gotta work. The scourge of mankind.
See ya’s.
who’s here? check in
1015
Aaaaaaand….Hamr just made it back to the bench from his 1st period shift…
When I think of the great D-men of the last 30 years…. Leetch, Coffey, Bourque, Lidstrom, etc…
They all were inspired by Hamr, who officially began his NHL hockey career in 1968. What a standard he has set for greatness…just remarkable…
Ciao Olga
I put Olga in. He’s a veteran of this and previous wars.
Present
I am always glad to to help, guys, I have update o the President of Paraguay tomorrow, it ain’t good.
Bbbbbbbbbbbbrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr…....Quiet horse.
I’m here.
Why hammer plays over Bickel is bizarre. Hammer was putrid in that pens game – not much better in any other either
I’m Mr. Ed…. Willlllllllllbur
No horses. It would make the blog unstable
NYR fan – were u at the game tonight?
Hamr < Woywitka
Nah, I’m on vacation, my brutha
Watch it – thom might fact check that
Checking out,men
Newbie is officially buttoned and may now go into bars and throw his weight around like we do, knowing he is made. A family man.
Traveling?
Later papa – sleep tight
llol, e3..SAYONARA, PAPA. It’s been real.
A traveling man, like Ricky Nelson
Newbie made his bones when we were shagging cheerleaders
Just a little golf getaway…Back home tomorrow
Golf! You lucky dog.
You mean last Saturday. e?
I am really surprised people here don’t bust my chops more often – 99% of what I post is stupid
Kooz – u r a dirty birdie
We’ve had some great weather my way….
Everybody should be so stupid.
Hit one great shot in a round – call it success
I am a rather fortunate canine.
Kooz – stupid in a good way tho…..:)
Alright kids….peace out
Actually small snowflakes here today, briefly. Not good for the prefrontal cortex. We need some Spring!
Dogs are cool…. Our German Shepherd died last march – 12 years old….
iNYR, relatively sweet dreams
Later my brutha
stupid in NY, as you would recall, is a high compliment!
ciao and cheers
Newbear must have seen a clove
I like when I can bust a good one – or when someone else cracks a funny – I dig the wit
Just took about 40 seconds to scroll to the top – 1058
Hide the garlic
Oh what a night
Late September
Back in 63
Oh what a night
Eddies – it’s just the 3 of us, I’m afraid
I bet torts wears elevator shoes in order to reach the pedals in his car…. Or he sits on a phone book
I’m going to the newest post
I got tired going to 1000
