NY Rangers (12-7-1) vs Carolina Hurricanes (15-5-1)
• 27 Nov 2024 07:00 PM EST
• Lenovo Repair Center, Raleigh NC
• TV: MSG 2, FDSNSO •
The Rangers attempt to pull up from their swoon tonight, Hurricanes or not. NY is now 5-5-0 in their last ten, having dropped three straight games in the face of trade speculation. Kreider spent some time late today explaining a number of injuries he has had this season as well as addressing some of the trade drama. Check da Post or your favorite sports outlet for the full details.
Carolina comes into tonight’s tilt with a 6-3-1 record for their last 10 and is just off a win against the Dallas Stars. They will be without back up goalie Kochetkov who is in concussion protocol. Martin (2-2-1, 3.40 GAA, .854 SV%) gets the start and he already has three letters towards Vezina. Perets will be the backup to the backup to the backup and is a 24yr old rookie who has faced one shot on goal which he successfully stopped.
As to the Rangers, Shesterkin will be in goal tonight. Kreider remains out and day to day. Ruhwedel is back from a quick trip to Hartford and will be Prucha’d. Rempe took an ill timed penalty and was sent packing back to the AHL; Brodzinski will play in. Kakko remains as 3C.
The cops tonight are TJ Luxmore (672 GP) and Beau Halkidis (127 GP). Both are more eager than most to blow their whistles and they usually give the ticket to the visiting team. Given that Carolina’s specialty units are top shelf, the Rangers would do well to avoid any unnecessary penalties.
Keys to a Ranger victory tonight: It all begins with playing defense but lighting up a not very good backup netminder would help too.
On this date in history: In 1960, Ranger great Rod Gilbert made his NHL debut. In 1974, Jean Ratelle became the second to score 300 goals while a NYR.

Drop the puck!
NY 9 CAR 0
LGR!
Upstate
What are you drinking?
Haven’t started, yet!
Let’s Go Rangers!
Kreider hat trick? I keed, I keed
Post updated to reflect the game is on MSG or your regular streaming outlet 🙃
call your cable company. its supposed to be on msg2
msg2
optimum channel 73
spth1
9-1 ?
drury goal
not a good thing
Thanks Alex, a search said MLB network, and the guide had MSG2 as Knicks pregame when I actually selected the channel it was the Rangers.
Unfortunately.
they look motivated
It’s early boys.
Blow. It. Up. What a bunch of slugs. Okay, that’s all I’ve got for tonight. Enjoy the beating.
trouba w miller
fox w lindgren
Shesty’s lack of concentration. Kindergarten mistake covering corner…
kakko line and trouba w miller on for the goal
hook on hands and falls
…embellishment in progress…
Weak call. No hands, all stick
Those not carrying their load and participating the way they should step up. You know enough is enough; we have a talented team that currently has no confidence or passion. That could change with 3 or 4 players & they knew who they are
LGR!
You see how fast the Canes got back on D?
Miller and Trouba were on the ice for the goal against? I’m shocked.
Rangers are slow mentally and physically.
Wonder if the Rangers could score if Brind’Amour was in goal?
damn keyboard sticking, yes MSG2
Passing a bit crisper than it’s been.
Brodude!
Heeeerre’s Jonny!
johnny brodzinski and the puck goes inski
Brodzinski. Puck goesinski.
Hey look! Another weak call!
Told you these refs like to use their whistles
Was that a glimmer of hope?
moral victory?
49 days since Shesterkin’s last shutout.
Sorry for the delay. At the Panther game.
I think Barkov stole Zibanebad’s power play shot.
Baby steps!
It doesn’t matter if you’ve never heard of him, that’s actually the point.
Mackie Samoskevich has the same amount of goals as Zibanebad, in one less game.
Well, we aren’t losing. But honestly, how can we not have more on this goalie? Inexcusable not to be hammering him with shots from anywhere
is valley done at msg?
Is it fitting that the nephew scored?
He was on last week for the away games and this is a holiday week. Think it is just normal time off.
Gravy just saw you had to try like four times for that one long comment. No idea why they went to spam.
Here we go again
Just more time to tie it up
WTF is Fox twirling around near our own blue line when the puck is still controlled by Carolina?
Miller inability to get it out of the zone leads to another 30 seconds in our end
Lindgren is shot. He is a spectator now.
I’m trying to be positive here, we’re only down by one. We have a future 12 million dollar goalie in net. What could possibly go wrong?
Unfortunately no matter how you slice it we’re gonna still need some changes this is not going to work in the long run
Fox is amazingly slow, hesitant and overall lazy. At least is looks like that – disinterested…
Hell Yeah!
Finally! Someone shoots! They score!
BB!
Nice shot kid!
WopbobaloobopawopbamBerard!
Berard = the new THE
Does he get sent back to Hartford tonight?
berard first goal
hope kakko will be ok
limped off ice
Minx get your skates on, if Kakko goes down they’ll need you!
Did Roslo skate like that as a Ranger?
Zac Jones has been their best forward tonight
So f##king weak! They lose every pick battle. Trade them all.
There was a time when we escorted the other team across the blue line. Now we just wait for them at the dots 🙁
Yes he did
Headzo
Yes he did.

berard goal
Laffy and Mika no shots
Roslovic is a good winger …he just found a real first line
We are way better at getting the puck to the man at the point on the PP when we are on the PK
The ccore is getting it done tonight
Janice had her moments
Finally some hustle!
Me likey
Ho HO!! Edstrom! Pretty. Nice Hustle by Smith.
Eddy the Ent!
great pass by smith on edstrom goal
What’s this called? A lead?
Trouba taking his time getting the puck out almost has it taken away for an unopposed scoring chance
yeah sure,. keep hating on kreider. and they were 2nd line. breads line been 1 last year as well
Oh my!
The Ent can score!
Ridiculous effort by Reilly Smith on that play. Especially considering how the team has looked recently.
Berard>>>likeable kid
kakko was back by end of period
lighten up Francis
Maybe time that someone checked his stick!
EV that twitter is your boy
https://x.com/SNYRangers/status/1861946665692696922
smith pass
poke check miller walked again …embarrassing
Let’s get that 4th goal boys.
did they send Vallquette away skiing until playoffs ?
Lol… these games off for the guys in the MSG studio are not uncommon, especially after doing a bunch of west coast games and holiday week to boot.
Why must you limit our upside? Why not lets get that 6th goal?
Dave Maloney said Igor used his Inspector Gadget left leg to make a save … HaHa!
Signs of life.
Fox is so slow it’s laughable.
These guys are the f@#$ing worst on defense. HIT A MOTHERF@#$ER!!!
Power Play has become a power outage.
Damn that fooled me
Powder Play
Shesterkin brain fart
cooscoos boy helps the canes tie it
Not good, Shesty.
That’s why Shesterkin’s gaa was just under 3.00 before this game and even closer now.
$11m man. Shame
Not a great night by Igor. 2 softees.
you keep taking shots and i’ll keep responding
Miller outworked and outmuscled around the net once again
Twerkin pay attention dude.
Trade Miller yesterday PLEASE!
Is it just me or has Lingren been knocked down a lot lately. Also if there is a GM out there who will take Miller off our hands PLEASE make the trade.
They’re allergic to physical contact.
weak call ..refs blow t
Combined effort by Miller and Igor on that goal. Even with Miller out of position Igor can’t let that in. I think he misses the Benoire
F@#$ these guys
wide open shot
down 3-4
Look Carolina has a pony too
where the eff is Miller going there
Two decent periods then they folded once Canes applied pressure. They were better tonight.
Well that’s that.
Blake is 178 and 5’11” (with his skates on)
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. This team has sucked since the end of the third week of October.
Plenty of time to tie it up and go to OT
Where are the top players? They are making a good argument for breaking up the core.
Shesty is getting outplayed by a third string goalie.
“Oh, I used to be disgusted,
and now I try to be amused.” (Elvis Costello)
Playoffs!
PK and Igor let them down tonight. Defense was better. They still lose way too many 50/50 pucks. That may just be the roster.
The rest of this game is going to be the Rangers chasing the puck.
At least 5-3 with an entry netter
I was logged out when I posted, which directed my to the login page, but the post didn’t go through after logging in. Went back, reposted and same result. Went to the thread and copy pasted there and changed a word, then it posted. Same thing happened a few weeks ago.
*empty
It sucked before that, they just weren’t being exposed while playing against just bottom feeders
Skjei- “good guy, great player won many awards”
So naturally they got rid of him.
Is valley really in the dog house after criticizing their play? That’s some cowardly ish if that’s true. That should tell you everything you need to know about this org
the DJ is so soft
Does any team look worse than this one with the goalie pulled?
think they were talking about Quickie
If you have money bet on 5-3
That includes the other team’s goalie pulled. They can’t score into an empty meet to save their lives.
Good 3 periods?
I don’t understand why Lavi doesn’t put Kakko out there. He’s one of their best possession players and if ever you needed to keep it in the offensive zone, its when you are EN
Trade every G-d damn fu—ing vet on this team for a bag of popcorn.
cullye played 2nd most of any wing just behind bread man
If these same guys are on the team when they get down here on new years, I’m doing the write-up before the game. Every game is the same with these guys.
Sam “These 2 teams battling for supremacy in the east.” Lol!
i thought you were going to stop watching?
Is this a good loss? Other than Panarin their top six have done nothing this season.
On to Chicago and let’s win there.
Panarin has been pathetic.
If they don’t figure out a way to play hockey without needing their goalie so much, this shiz will NEVER change.
So the Filth on Friday afternoon. The Filthy friend said they have been playing better, in most of their games now after horrible start.
Miller’s got to go. We can get a lot for him. He’s never going to get better.
Sham
Every chance the Rangers have had to move up in the division has been shlat away. Every. Single. One.
Derbils got shut out by the Blues and we were playing Carolina. Smfh
7 home games rest of 2024. i’ve only got 1 thank God. vs Chitown Olgas other team
I think making the playoffs may be a pipe dream for this clown show.
The only thing we can pray for is a ’92 to ’94.
Rangers got the president’s trophy in ’92, missed the playoffs in ’93, and won the cup in ’94.
Kreider tied #31 in goals. Bread #16 in points, Cuylle #70 in pts.
It was either watching a bluey marathon, or these slugs on my phone. I made the wrong choice. Appreciate you calling me out though… 👍
First time I’ve seen Lindgren interviewed since he got back. Face looks thin. Wonder how much weight/muscle he dropped during the jaw thing?
Ev
That ain’t happening with this Cotton Candy Crew.
Well- if you have a spare Messier/Graves/Leetch/Richter in their prime…. let me know- we can do this!
So if they lose to the filth does management panic?
Only gave up 30 shots tonight but we’ll still be #2 in the league.. 33.2 SA/GP
Only if they put Wiz on their steaks 😉
good point. liquid diet
Kakko was 1/5 against Drury but 3/7 overall. Aho..woof 4/19
We’ve lost almost our entire advantage on jersey. We have 4 games in hand but they have 7 more points. Great job, you losers.
I can’t think of anything good to say.
i don’t get it most tix are north of 250 for mtl sat afternoon even with the team diving?
i’d rather watch college football anyway.
and fri i’m on uber duty to pick up gf family members from airport
i think cullye is in top 6. pt wise laffy doing well. not in +/- though.
Hey look on the bright side. We can all watch the Giants on Turkey day in Dallas. Maybe they wont give up 40 points and the annoucers will tell us what a great team they are and don`t forget they all come from great families.
Screw them all. Enjoy a very Happy Thanksgiving.
fat cats could not put any rubber on a 3rd strain goalie ..they only have one defensemen that can move and actually play defense
The third year is the hard part.
Hey Drury I’m not letting your Persian Puff clown show ruin my Thanksgiving!
But Lav keeps putting him out there for over 20 minutes a game, go figure. Lav needs to get his eyes checked.
Spot on analysis on that goal
Spot on. Winning against weak teams masked a lot of problems.
One of the very few guys who plays with a heart and actually throws a check. Only guy actually earning his ice time and should be getting some others ice time
Philly will play hard and physical due to Torts, so Rangers are in trouble. Most of the Rangers shots will probably be into Flyers shin pads.
In my eyes, the third and fourth goals were on Miller. He is awful. I used to believe he just needed time and would get better, now I can’t wait for them to get rid of him. He is clueless and lazy.
Not necessarily a bad thing, may force wholesale changes from top to bottom.
Rangers are the only team in the top 10 of shots against per game, that are technically a playoff team and they’re 2nd. Smh
Better effort same result. This team does not have what it takes. Changes need to be made and needs to be their overpriced fossilized dead wood that needs to be jettisoned.
got close to 20 min. how much more time do you want him to get
As far as I’m concerned it’s over. Whatever you want to call it when the letter went out has been a failure. Drury will hold on to this team till the end which will be no playoffs, good luck drury.
tommyG
I completely agree. The few good playoff runs they had ended in futility. The retool failed to win the prize as I knew it would.
Can anyone explain to me why I haven’t re-watched any of the last 4 games?
people back in town for holiday is one of the most in demand ticket and then add on playing g Montreal on a Saturday; which brings an influx from the North
*NEW POST*
Given how the others are playing, can he play 60?
