Just FIRST!
Final score: 6-5 in OT
Just not sure who wins
LGR!
For some reason this game might be one of those trap games that they so rarely win.
I think they must win this game.
Sabres got trounced Thursday… embarrassed, trap game for sure
Shesterkin is gonna need his Vasilevskiy pads today.
How long was Dancing Larry in that couch?
Had to stink in there.
Did we win?
Trivia answer…..Joey Mullen?
Trivia answer is Rumun Ndur
Kreider hit someone…..like the return of Halley’s comet.
Great player (used to be?), but definitely not the sharpest knife in a drawer…
Play for the point
decent first… better team defense and they cut down on the turnovers
…just in case – I’m talking about Citizen…
Cut down on the odd man rushes. Less TOs. Baby steps.
Didn’t get this call…
Let’s hope the first wasn’t their good period.
Next games trivia question
When was the last time the Rangers scored the first goal of a game?
K’Andre!…Left his man and area.
Will Igor ever get another shutout?
Don’t care about shut outs. Just win.
Plenty of time
So the team that gave up 10 goals the other night…..is suddenly a defensive juggernaut? Hmmmm…… I don’t think so. It’s totally on the Rangers.
Vaunted Sabre Defense or are Ranger forwards just stupid
Better to be lucky than good!
Ok nevermind…. 😊
20 cent!!!!
Gravy?!
Ohhhhhhfaaaa……lucky
Good on 20 cent there
Rangers need more of that post whistle attitude and that don’t try that with us stuff
Sabre’s just standing up at the blue line and these idiots continue to try and skate it in
Sam so excited about Vermont and the two Sabres lol
Weak call but let’s score!!!
Pretty sure GG has had enough of these line combos
So far So-So.
They are emphasizing defense so that’s why they only have 12 shots and 30 attempts. It’s not Buffalo’s D. Need to clean up their end if they are going to be any good.
Best way to clean up your own end is to not play in it that often.
emphasizong defense against a team that scores off the rush should include getting pucks deep though
Miller gotta be smarter there .
The team has no identity right now. They need to find one. It’s avry disjointed group right now.
Nice hit by Kreider.
Smart play by busto
The New York Strangers?
Good play by Trouba
Vermont power play looks more effective than Meeka one.
Kreider with a kreider
Why don’t they shoot more on the PP? It’s a befuddlement.
I look forward to the day when Kreider is playing somewhere else.
I liked the kreider hit. Sure it was a clear penalty but, right idea.
Playing for the point again.
I don’t see the Rock Stars getting past Buffalo in 3 on 3.
Tage is a BEAST.
Sometimes it become pretty loud over there…
Trouba take the body
Please, not that – on the last seconds!!!!
Dahlin in beast mode too
Lucky to have the point!
Why would you put Miller out the last 2 minutes in a tie game?
Chytil….ooof
With the obvious exception of Shesterkin the Rangers have been unimpressive.
That last 50 seconds…..sheesh …good thing I got a crew cut last week.
One other thing…..do the Rangers know that they are permitted to hit opposing players?
Here we go!!
Snipe …goal scorers goal
2 points, the hard way.
So they cut down on odd man rushes but sacrificed puck possession to do it. Need to strike a balance.
Krusty!!!!
Take the points. It will be tougher in Pittsburgh tomorrow.
Yay.
I am definitely concerned about the next 3 games.
I had it shesty, 20 cent, and ricola in no particular order.
Kane blessed Panarin with the cross inside this hugging group. Funny.
Stick Salute mama // woot woot woot
Defenseman were solid minus Miller brain farts
Mikkola, Fox, Panarin.
Igor stole this win.
Rangers need a team bonding meeting or something. They are definitely not hitting on all cylinders.
Shesty singlehandedly stole a game for them. He hasn’t done that much this season. Much needed 2 points. They need Lindgren back badly.
2 points in the bank!!
Great game thread btw!!!
Miller was fakakta
Shesty out of contest!
Igor was really the bright spot. They should bring him back tomorrow.
Motte and vesey good on PK
On track for 104.7076923077 points!
Keep on rollin’
🙂
GG not happy with lines …pr defense last 2 minutes
Away at a U18 tournament for my son. (Watched the MSG Buffalo feed which was pretty good) Had to leave the hotel for the next game when OT started. My son put on his phone and Panerin scored!
Interesting that Gallant is switching the lines up again. Has to find the right combo which is tough since he’s kissing 2 centers. He’s going to figure something out. Won’t be perfect, but it’ll be better.
Tomk
Is everyone else jealous of the 2 centres he’s kissing?
Sorry, couldn’t help it.
😉
I think GG is trying to protect Igor from the heckling “Igor” chants in Pittsburgh tomorrow, so that’s why Halak is getting the start. It will probably be a different outcome if they play the same way tomorrow as they played today.
was at the game tonight. Great atmosphere. about 50/50 rangers and sabres fans. All in good fun, loved the dueling lets go rangers/lets go buffalo chants.
Glad both team got a point cause id much rather buffalo make the playoffs over isles or pens.
Larry weighing in:
https://nypost.com/2023/03/11/rangers-devils-islanders-have-chance-to-make-rare-opportunity/
I almost stopped reading when he came out as such an isles fan
But glad I didn’t. Cause at the end he says this
“Finally, I don’t get it.
In his life away from hockey, P.K. Subban seems to have charity for all. Yet as a studio analyst for ESPN, he displays the same disrespect for his peers as he did while playing with reckless disregard for at least the final season of his career. Eye-rolling apparently is the (much less harmful) version of the slew-foot.”
He also touched on the
Minimum 3 games for spitting. Where is the 3 games for head shots ?
Good for Larry!
I think I may have watched a different game then some here.
When does GG consider playing MIkkola with Trouba ?
Wick-8:37- LMFAO. Guess I need to proofread! 🤣
Cheers 🍻

I know we all aren’t huge Dolan fans but good on him not backing down to the “authority”
Sounds like some back room mob deals to try and strip those licenses
Also, for as much of a baby as Dolan comes off as I as a fan appreciate his effort to spend to the top of the cap and give Drury the power to make decisions and hire people he wants
We could have a much worse ownership that is for sure.
It’s almost like Hochul and state authorities don’t care about its citizens
Dolan is a entitled rich A-hole who inherited his money from his father. The fact that many sports owners are similar characters is a pretty low bar to judge him by. I follow the Knicks and Rangers despite him not because of him. I’ll admit to engaging in some schadenfreude watching him being harassed by the bureaucracy that we all have to deal with from time to time.
A big test coming up this afternoon. Sully has the Pens playing well while the Rangers are a work in progress as they try to assimilate their new additions and all get on the same page. I’m hopeful but not optimistic. Halak getting the start is an interesting choice. In Benny we trust.
Lines changed for today .
Good morning, Boneheads!
Sorry, no time. But there will be Go Time at 3:30
Noah Laba, and Colorado College upset Western Michigan in a two game playoff this weekend. Laba had an assist on the tying goal in game one, and scored the second CC goal in game two.
Tried to post Jayden Grubbe STATS, but they disappeared into the wind. Short version, he’s having a big year. Mentioned before the season started that he would be interesting to follow.
I watch the the 5 minute highlight of most CC games. Laba plays a big role for them. He was supposed to be a goon according to the twitter experts, but he’s actually a very skilled player, who happens to play a physical game.
BDL, sounds good, my kind of player.
Have the Rangers won the 2nd half of a back to back this year, asking for a friend?
Laba is a center correct?
Noah Laba is a center.
Grubbe and Rempe are as well I believe.
Yes, Laba is playing center.
Me:(broken record) “Rangers will need to sign or trade for at least one center this summer.”
Also Me:(every year)”Rangers will need to bring in another center at the upcoming trade deadline. “
Grubbe, Rempe, and McConnell Barker are all centers.
6-5-1 in the second game of back to backs, St Pete
A MUCH better record than when we play on other teams’ second game of back to backs. Go figure.
Daylight savings time…🤮
Thanks Kakko’s Camp
For you coos.
Rangers need to Hockey trade Miller and Chytil over the summer or at the draft. Unnecessary Jones as well.
Instead of daylight savings time. It should be lost sleep screw job time.
Kakko’s Camp. Lol
Daylight savings is slowly going to ease it’s way out. I wouldn’t be surprised if Florida did it in the very near future.
“By the way, has a victim ever received less sympathy, and deservedly so, than Corey Perry when he was on the wrong side of a spear from Tony DeAngelo?”
(LB/NYP)
Larry is mostly on point, as usual.
But I suppose the Islanders couldn’t “will” their way to a win over the Capitals last night?
