Kaapo Kakko returns, otherwise they finally decided to rest some guys.
Canadiens, after an impressive run all the way to the SCF last season, have amassed 51 points in 80 games and is number 32 in the league wide standings. I imagine if our boys lose tonight, it’s season over. 🙂

Firsts more often are getting firsts bullets than firsts prizes or awards…
Wow do they even score tonight?
Lundqvist in the MSG studios? There’ll be no W tonight.
Kreider not in.
Bubble-Wrap time!
No Robertson tonight? Who’s playing left D with Trouba and Fox next year after we trade Lindgren and KAM? Not Hajek and Jones.
NYR in OT, 8-7
🙃
Not much to see tonight. I am all for rest and bubble wrapping though.
We’ll, that’s their depth.
Play smart, play safe, win.
I still hate montreal…
Trouba with the Gilbert award?
Bobby Cannavale. NJ boy who lives in Brooklyn. Pretty good imitation of NY accent
Love that Rod has an award.
Met Rod a few times. He might be the next nicest human after Graves
Wow! Two in a row
That Kreider wins EVERYTHING!
Awesome – well deserved
Idiots can’t even be silent for 5 seconds.
Captain THE.
Another away night loss?
Having met Rod a few times……….a really nice award and a well-deserved winner. The only thing more impressive than Rod’s kindness and friendliness was the 2.5 bottles of wine he downed during one of the games.
I was really hoping for 53, 54 and 55 tonight. Oh well. Olga better start pulling for the Secretary to score or no beers tonight
I like interpretation of the things, but this anthem’s “performance” was in my opinion, a complete butchering.
Sounds like a high school rink. Guess MSG upgraded the wifi…
This one looks like a snoozer.
Zzzzzzz
I’m awake ⏰️
Georgiev drank a bottle of wine to honor Mr.Ranger.
Nice save by Georgie
Bubble wrap is c-rap!
Wake me for the intermission.
I’ve bubble wrapped my Casamigos until the playoffs start (& to hide it from Mrs Headzo)
I’m really hurt that I didn’t get a shot to play in this game.
Season over
First line invisible so far.
There goes the shutout.
Second line also invisible.
The amazing 🐐 move!
I think it’s safe to that goal by Poehling was the game winner.
Laffo-Busto Chytil Krakko look over matched out there.
I would switch out Chytiljuice for Stromeo.
Woooo hooooo LGR!!!!!
Trivia answer….Boom Boom Gefrion
Doubt this kid Pezzetta wants to go anywhere near Reaves again
Boom-Boom Geoffrion?
Revo!
Zach Jones band couldn’t hit the high note
Woot
Reaver!
Reavo! Beer me!
I’m telling you, let this kid Reaves play
🐐
Makeup call. That was pathetic
The weakest call ever!
The hell was that?
Makeup penalty.
🐐 only interferes with other potential talent from playing in his place
Krakko has a lot of work to do over the summer.
I didn’t know Gallagher and Dvorak were playing till now. Perhaps I should start adding ice to my Macallan.
I’d like to say that the refs are obviously already in playoff mode, except they’ve been in playoff mode all season.
This is akin to watching Devils vs. Hartford Whalers game in 1983
Who’s enjoying this preseason game?
Barclay Hockey
This could seriously be the biggest snooze fest of the season…..
Have to be a real hockey fan to watch this one.
This would be the worst year in Ranger history to be picked for “shirts off their backs”
Lol you know it, Gravy.
This type of pace is….. wait for it…. Unsustainable.
I really thought Kakko and Laffy’s line would be showcased. Are they even still playing?
Goat Boy with patented move and no SOG as usual.
The 🐐
In the case of Amber Heard… it’s sh*ts ON their backs…. when they get into bed.
Usually when you patent a move it’s because you’re successful at it….. 🐐
If I had a dollar for evert time Goat Boy does that and doesn’t score . Sheesh I could have bought twitter.
“That’s ok 🐐, you can keep your jersey”
ORF, I just saw that you mentioned the patented move too. Didn’t see that before I posted mine. Lol
Schneider and Jones may end up with over 25 min tonight
This is such bad hockey lol
Chytil looks lost when he doesn’t have the puck. Then again he looks lost when he does have it.
This may just end up a 1-1 tie.
Pitlick with the 🐐
Chytil stinks!
Yeah…. it legitimately feels like a preseason game. All we’re missing is Kravtsov 🤷♂️
It’s like having a patent on an Edsel. You can hang it on the wall ,but, it’s not worth anything.
Georgie 🐐
Whenever I feel life isn’t fair I will from now on call to mind that my name is not Pitlick. Sheesh I would like to know the origins of that name.
Georgiev!
That’s the game winner. Hartford has trouble scoring. They also continue the annoying habit of allowing late goals.
Really with 8 seconds left 🤮
These guys end periods like the starters do. Outplaying the other team but behind at the end of the period.
Montembeault=Roy
Georgiev=lol!
Meh.
Let’s hope Reavo has another goal in him because apparently nobody else does.
Too bad Georgie knows English. Otherwise you could just tell him he’s playing Carolina.
Georgiev was already in his intermitting’s dream and anticipation of some dunkin donut in the locker room…
So has Vatrano hit the wall?
Boy George in top form 2 goals on 10 shots dynamic!
Imagine buy tickets to see this!
Harvey Wallbanger
I think the Rangers should have the 🐐 award for the best move to the net without the puck!
Recent performances state that we are an up-and-coming team, not yet a THERE team.
I think we’re utilizing 15% of the salary cap tonight
Someone correct me if I am mistaken here….but the guys wearing the blue shirts are actual NHL players who play for the Rangers…yes? Or are these 20 random guys that they found wandering the corridors of MSG tonight?
However, I’m still grateful for some playoff hockey.
Our 1st rd picks not doing so good tonight.
Let’s enjoy the 1 rd we’ll get.
…hah, hah, hah, hah, hah, Joe…you’re right about THAT
Montembeault=Roy
Georgie=Boy
Missed opportunity, Minx.
Frankie-Boy!
He can shoot
77 can shoot
Woot woot
That’s perfection
The slasher!
Frankie Vats busts through wall
Beer me. Frankie “Shooter” Vatrano strikes again!
Frankie V!
Why does Salmon Joe keep referring to this team like it’s the same guys that started last night?
Reaves looked like a heavy tank T-90 hitting trees trunks …
Let me be perfectly Frank
Friggin Kakko
2 passes 2 many…
It’s bad that Kakko was passing the puck there….but it was abominable that he was trying to pass it to Chytil. He may as well pass it to one of us.
Krakko brainless Finn! Shot the puck!
Trying to pass to Chytil deserves an award!
Who did Hajek steal those moves from? He better give them back
Can frank owes me money get another? Or does laffo busto have another crunch time goal in him?
“…strong move by Gauthier…”
*sigh*
Don Cheadle with the 🐐
Georgiev is still horrible
With this team, leading by this goalie, we can be assured for a high chance of winning a Cup… of Guatemalan coffee in their local girls-scout hockey league.
Georgie didn’t want the save % to get too far above 80.
This is intolerable.
I will say it again our 1st rd’ers not looking sharp!
Canadians against a backup – 3 goals on 17 shots
Rangers backup against a backup’s backup – 2 goals on 25 shots
🤷🏻♂️
Reaves 68 games, 5 goals. Chytil 66 games 7 goals. Yikes.
We lost
Their scrubs beat our scrubs
The B team gets the puck out of the defensive zone just as well as the A team.
Ricardo Montalban from accomplished actor to 5 minutes away from winning at MSG. A true Hollywood story.
Maybe Chytil can learn to fight.
We’re all smart enough hockey fans here to understand defencively forwards affect the d and the coverage and d affect the goalie and they both affect how team d is played…but man it’d be nice to see the backup goaler make some saves that mattered in games like this.
“…strong move by Gauthier…” is like one of Sterling’s home run calls that are caught at the warning track.
Rangers need a good 5 minutes.
That was a nice goal
I should’ve known🤣🤣🤣
Woot woot woot
Stromeo!
Strome!
Well Stromeo is alive!
A short beer, bartender…
I’m still trying to figure out how that puck went in
Stromebringer!!!!!
When does Gallagher smash the watermelon?
Well, now it’s a bit more fun…
Ugh
Georgie is pathetic
Not funny… can’t make it up, morons.
🤮🤮
You could see that coming in slo-mo
That was like the Rangers had full body toretts or something.
Stupid 7:30 games
Ooof
LOL. I mean comedy of errors on the clearing attempts, but can Georgie make a freaking routine save?
At least the yanks won
Why did I watch this please can anyone tell?
Is the season over yet?
Even with this lineup this is humiliating.
You didn’t really want to see OT or a shoot-out did you?
Georgiev really sux!
The only thing this game proved was that Georgiev isn’t going to be qualified.
Sam and joe lauding Jones…failing to mention his -2 lol
🙄
Definitely one of Georgie’s worst efforts
Boy George couldn’t stop a beach ball.
No one wants OT in an exhibition game.
Now it’s on to Chicago and…
Never mind.
Honestly I expected more out of
Laffo-Busto and Krakko. I expect absolutely nothing out of Chytil. I would trade Chytil for a new toilet seat!
Beezle
Shesty wasn’t much better against the Canes. But Boy George is wasted space.
St.Pete….you are devaluing Chytil. Word is the Rangers were offered a washer machine for him.
Last minute goals are becoming a common occurence.
Well, I don’t know about you guys but I enjoyed watching this scrubby game with youse.
We now have an unbreakable bond, having all watched this peewee hockey game in an NHL arena.
Chytil KHL bound because there isn’t a GM in the league dumb enough to take him.
In a way I enjoyed the way the interns got the puck out of their own zone. Much more effective than the varsity players. But freeken Scoregio had to rain on their parade. Habs suck; we could have won. Was looking forward to overtime and a shoot out. What a shame. Jones looked really good. Fast, good hands and hockey sense although light.
I know I have said this before but it really stinks that we got all these 1st rd picks during the so called rebuild and really how many will actually hit star quality. Asking for a friend?
Mr. Rich in Brooklyn whatever his username is needs to really get a life
Well we finally get a 5 game losing streak to end the season. Excellent confidence builder entering the playoffs.
Loneranger…..don’t know what comment of mine annoys you…but I actually have a pretty good and satisfying life.
Cheers.
Good night boneheads!
Rich in Brooklyn
A washing machine; that’s too much. Lighten up and have a great evening.
Switch Chytil California to D like they did with Miller. (satire)
It was an attempt at humor sorry you did not find it funny.
I thought it was hilarious
Jokes aside but a goalie backup became a real problem if Rangers will proceed deeper in PO. I though the Georgy problem was mostly mental, phycological, but it looks much more complex now. He literally is not trustworthy technically and even physically.
Georgie is of no consequence in the playoffs. They’re not winning the Cup with any backup.
Rangers losing 4 straight heading into playoffs a concern for anyone?
It was even uglier in person
I got this game since it was right before Christmas
So Friday’s game could determine who they play on Monday. Do they still rest everyone? I say yes.
Oh man. Alex, my condolences. What’s crappy thing to have to pay for
*what a crappy
4everanger. Agree with you totally. The prospect of Georgie boy being a back up in the play offs is frightening.
Who cares? If Shesty isn’t playing due to injury or poor performance, it won’t matter anyway.
Vegas eliminated.
Notify E3…
Regarding backup goalies in the playoffs. How many minutes did Glenn Healey play in 1994? If your no.1 goalie is on,the backup never gets his named mentioned. Lets just hope we are all chanting Igor late in June.
Good defensive game by the B team but Kakko still won’t shoot and Georgie still won’t make a routine save …I play Kakko continuously against Caps and won’t let him back to bench until he puts a puck on net
Kappo’s Mom: “Don’t shoot until all the other boys have had a chance,”
Sorry, Wick. I’m just getting caught up here. Entertaining race, for sure. Had to laugh, though. After it was over, they had Natalie Pinkham talking to another woman about the race. She described the Leclerc spin as “a bit of a damp squid”. Gotta love the British terminology!
The 2 Petry goals were undeniable evidence of how bad Georgiev really is. I flinch everytime an opposing player enters the zone or winds up for a shot. Does anyone have a reasonable explanation on how he shut out the Canes?
I don’t think we have to worry about the sieve in the playoffs. I will be speechless if they survive the 1st rd.
NEW POST
Georgiev had won 7 in a row before last night.
