FIRE SATHER!
I saw a comment on Twitter (Matt Calamria?) that the Rangers bet the under last night (5.5) no other way they miss that many open nets.
“It’s a traaap!”
what’s up with strome?
Drop the puck already. LGR, don’t folk this up.
I love getting to watch Biz do his thing on TNT… those glove commercials he did were fantastic
At least we get Kenny tonight.
When I become NHL Commissioner, scheduled game time will equal puck drop time.
This is the ideal crew to work a game IMO
Woot
Reavo! Beer me!
Not Jeremy Hronek.
It’s a TNT hat trick for Reaves.
When I replace Bettman, no games will start before 7pm or after 7:30pm Eastern except Sunday there may be a game at 1PM, Eastern.
Just look at the map, there really is nothing west of the Hudson river 😉
Beezle while you’re at it, change the playoff format. Please?
Why does Nemeth always try to hit our goalie?
Olga – two division winners plus six best of the rest, ranked 1-8, re-rank after each round.
When I become an NHL franchise owner, I will have just a play-by-play guy call matches. I don’t need all the other superfluous voices explaining puck bounces and deflections to viewers. Imagine all the money I’ll be saving.
wtf was that Chytil?
ditto Georgie
[Good grief!!]
So bad.
Stonewall Georgie
Please tell Scoregiev to get his own ride home after this
JBytes you mean they pay Micheletti?
OMG!!!! That has to be the softest goal I’ve ever seen, Georgie boy really stinks. Rangers are going to find it very hard to win games the rest of the season with this dope in the net.
Thank the lord Hunt is off that second line. What a bum.
Beezle Seeded 1-16 by record. re-rank after each round. That way anybody can play anybody for the Cup even if they are division rivals. Also towards the end of the regular season every game counts. The better your record the weaker team you get to play. That’s your reward for winning.
We’ve basically been getting schooled since our lucky goal by a team that gave up 11 goals the other day.
How in the azz do you get tripped twice in the same sequence and not draw a penalty???!!
Aaaaaand look who’s back on the second line🙄
Go figure, in Africa zebras love Rangers.
Here comes the goal a game penalty kill
Olga, same thing, I just kept the East/West conference. I’m OK with 1-16 too.
I’m curious.. who is Fox covering there?
Another power play goal against. what a surprise
One nice save. Two crappy goals
My lord.
They should have left Georgie in Pittsburgh
Beezle, I’m just tired of watching Rangers play Pens Caps devils etc. year after year after year.
Woot woot
good answer! Beer me!
Battle of the goaltenders
Another soft goal by Georgie boy, only way rangers win games with georgie boy in goal is to score 5 goals minimum.
Pk is now the GAG line. Of course Georgie is awful again.
I think they’re trying to break their streak of one power play goal against per game
Is the reason they don’t get powerplays their opponents are more disciplined or that the refs just suck
At least Bet the Over Georgie didn’t trip over himself trying to make a save (yet..)
Might not be a bad idea, if possible, to call up Reuben & get him a game or 2.
Goalie should always be the best PKer; that was an unscreened shot that a HS goalie can save.
Is Georgiev a sieve or just a colander?
8 of the past 9 games, the Rangers have given up a power play goal.
Rangers have also had 4 total power plays in the last 4 games. That’s probably because of how clean all of our opponents play when they play against us🙄
Saint Georgie – holier than thou.
Georgie is the sink drain.
Get the eff rid of that guy
The only time Georgie hears cheers for himself is when he’s playing away
Ugh… I miss John Tortorella.
What’s Panerin waiting for? A bus?
Wtf is wrong with this team tonight? How tf did bread not know that eventually someone was going to come over and take the puck away? Jesus Christ smh
Starting to look like our one period tonight will be the third.
Goalie change?
Anyone want to bet on when our only power play comes in this one?
plenty of time.
#79 will not take a man in front, any man. Ever. Won’t come within 3 feet. Will not. Dion dedicated ‘The Wanderer’ to him.
Anybody know if we’ve gotten any hits yet?
Not for nothing but Kinkaid could and would be a better option at this point. No issues with motivation to say the least
ORF,we all wish
How can Georgie have been so good against Carolina and so horrid tonight?
Wellll I’m the type of guy who likes to roam around im never in one place I roam from town to town
Dion’s Greatest Hits.
Scoregiev had already had the best game he’s ever going to have in his career so it’s ALLLLL downhill from here.
Belmont Avenue
TYM,
We’ve seen it before with him. Whatever the reason it’s clearly not getting resolved while he’s a Ranger.
Wonderful family, Sam.
Oh, no! We suck again!
Njedelkovixhz or whatever is shaky as hell and we’ve had a grand total of 15 shots on him. I hate this team that can’t get up for a game that’s not against a playoff team anymore.
About friggin time
Management?
Beer me! Breadman!
Call planters. One of their nuts is here.
This game is the opposite of last night. Horrible.
It’s good to know that the Rangers don’t play any favorites. They’re having as much trouble getting the puck out of their zone against Detroit as they did against the pens.
Why’s that post still here is my question…..
Get up for a game? They should be up 2 goals if their goalie was awake
16 recorded hits for us. That’s gotta be fights in the stands, right?
Eureka! A powerplay
Holy ref! Will wonders never cease
Kenny Albert is using Sam’s brain. Calling this our second power play🙄
True bobby, but their play hasn’t helped. I’m guessing most of it is because Scoregiev just sucks the life out of them.
We better take advantage of this since it’s the only one we’re getting
No one in the league screws up as much as bread and still racks up points
When’s the pp start?
need to bury that sheet
Scoregiev has gone from possibly getting us a second round pick but that not being enough for Gorton to most likely not qualifying him and being happy we won’t have to eat any salary to get rid of him.
These ‘analysts’ talk all at once. Nitwits.
Georgie should try the Sign of the Cross. Seems to work for Shesty.
‘In Hoc Signo Vinces.’
Starting to look like the No Period Rangers might’ve shown up tonight.
I first saw the sign of the cross at my uncles funeral. I was really young and I thought the Priest said “In the name of the father, the son, and into the hole he goes”
Goalie interference? Naaaaaahhhhh
Fourgiev
“Njedelkovixhz or whatever”
Ev is xenophobic.
This is easily in the top 3 of worst played games this season for these guys
Georgiev sucks. Plain and simple.
How does an .894, 3.08 goaltender make his numbers worse against the red wings?
Team plays with no confidence with Georgiev in net.
Apache chop on hunt’s arm. Looked legal.
So they play down to the opponent and Georgie is in the net.
Every shot on Rangers net, I cringe.
Here comes 3 for 3 and me hitting “power”on the remote.
Here comes the GAG line with Georgie in goal.
This is truly pathetic.
Think of the game like this: our one lead was from an unassisted Ryan Reaves goal.
Goodnight Gracie.
Why can’t Kinkaid play backup?
Is Kreider OK. Looked like he was in pain on the bench
This clown should never be in net again I would rather see Kincaid, could he be any worse?
The Rangers left their skill in Carolina
This is embarrassing. The pens are laughing their asses off right now.
This is the game right here
Detroit goalie has become Patrick Roy of course.
This is a let down game with a sieve in goal. Ugh
Getting beaten in goal. Detroit goalie has made some saves unlike Georgie.
No 2 power play against the worst pk.
What can go wrong?
Whew
ck20!!
Get the Bettman point.
Tie game.
Kreider with the “bad contract”
KMan! PP goal. Beer me!
Keep the puck away from Fourgiev
Don’t let the wings get a shot.
Hopefully they’ll get another period to become the one period Rangers again.
Can we put Shesterkin in for the OT?
Now play for the point. The 2nd one…
Ev I hope that point didn’t ruin your night
Everytime the wings enter the zone I close my eyes!
Or the second one either
BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Copper!
Good Copp
You gotta love getting 2 unearned points🤣
Another come-back win!
Woot woot woot woot woot
Busted by a Copp.
Someone call a Copp! Rangers stole one.
RoboCopp!!!
We came back 3 times in that one
Take the 2 points and slither out of Motown.
This win makes it easier to stomach the inevitable loss coming against the Fishsticks on Friday night.
bobby stop acting like I’m the only pessimistic person here. I’m sorry if I ruined your night by truthfully stating observations about this game.
lol… snoozed for the last five of regulation but woke up for the OT. Need to see the replay of THE’s goal
GOOD COPP !!
In another useless observation, I guess the #18 still gets you a tinted visor.
We actually do have a on/off button. Unreal.
They basically had to outscore Georgie Boy.
Finally a Copp around when they needed one. Maybe it’s time for a Kinkaid recall?
These trade deadline acquisitions are making Chris Drury look [almost] like Lou Lamoriello [Devils].
Even Scoregieu couldn’t cause the loss. Simply stated we play far better with Shesterken in there. With him we have an aura of invincibility.
Copp makes Drury look very smart.
Detroit’s given up 16 goals in their last 2 games lol
They have won one game this year because of Georgie and several in spite of him.
Missed the second and third, turned back 30 seconds before they won. Seems like things worked out for me.
Copp to Nedeljkovic “Pull over.”
93 points. 93!
Rangers have won many games this year on their goalie. They almost lost one on their goalie tonight. But, they won. So it’s fine.
^ good for fourth overall in the NHL…
The goalie you all want called up got lit up like a Christmas tree tonight.
Just 93 points? Shoulda had 100 by now!
Think the magic numeral is 9 against NYI and 7 for CBJ
https://i.ibb.co/9hYysz7/FB-IMG-1648694683651.jpg
I think there are only 2 more back to backs left so those are the only games they need to score 5 to win.

Dang
BDL, both of those guys were between .800 and .850 tonight and Kincaid didn’t have Fox, Lindgren, Trouba or Schneider in front of him. He didn’t even have Tarmo Reunanen.
Gonna have to live with Georgiev for a few because there’s no need to ride Igor. My guess is 6-7 of the last 14. Maybe they make a press to win the division, but probably not worth risking injury.
Copp —> Copper Top —>Duracell
Ok. So even if it’s not kinkaid is there any other goalie in the system who can get a cup of coffee to see what he’s like at this level?
Or…Hank looks like he’s still in shape. There have been quite a few players come back over the years from retirement for cup runs
Hank can be backup.
Work the rust off down the stretch and then get his name on the cup
Richter at this age is still better than Georgie.
He may never be as good as he once was but he can be as good as he was, once !
So they were 11-4 in March. Maybe we are a little too negative. The 93 points is about what I thought they would get for the season a couple of months ago. Of course, I didn’t know then that 93 points probably would be the 2nd wildcard. The top 8 in the East are now like the Peleton and someone still has to break out. They have the other team’s way behind.
Don’t think there’s a point in doing anything with the backup now. No one but Igor will be playing in the playoffs, and will destroy what little trade value Georgie has.
Maybe the goalie whisperer should raise his voice or at least change his tone
I’m not meaning to be hard on Boy George but really the only shot he didn’t have much of a chance on was Bertuzzi’s. The other 3 were just simply embarrassing. I still scratch my head thinking about the Canes game.
