Second round matchups (starting prior to completion of round #1 🙄) :
EAST: CAR (D1) v. PHI (D3) and BUF (D1) v. TB/MTL (D2/D3)
WEST: COL (D1) v. MIN (D3) and VGK (D1) v ANA (D3)
When the full TV schedule is available the post will be updated. For Sunday:
Habs v TBL 18:00 EDT telecast by CBC, SN, TVAS, TNT/truTV/HBO MAX/The Spot winner moves on
MIN v COL 21:00 EDT telecast by TNT, truTV, HBO MAX, CBC, SN, SN360, TVAS
Big challenges for both Philly and Anaheim. Minny/Vegas should be entertaining. Think the Buffalo/tba will be a coin toss.
And we have NYR news this evening:
Head coach Grant Potulny, assistant coach Jamie Tardif and assistant coach Paul Mara were all fired by the Wolf Pack, the Blueshirts announced Sunday.

I can’t believe I am agreeing with Bobbyo’s 10:38 post. I might need a drink!
Fixed…was half asleep writing it. Used the NHL standing codes as well
I’m told the west version of the grid will be available perhaps tonight after they have figured out game times.
“We strongly recommend SN for the studio show if you are able to get it. “
Sportsnet is always my first choice. The only downside is when they have that Jennifer Botterill lady on. Yeah, you could say I’m not a fan.
LMAO! The #NYR have promoted Tanner Glass to the director of player development.
How much dumber can this organization get?
I hate to say it but can it get any worse? I am very close to giving up on this clown show organization. At least our prospects will be some of the best at skating into the boards missing checks.
I do not acknowledge the second round. It’s still the first round until the first round is done. Who’s driving this bus?
St Pete there were big shoes to fill after jed ortmeyer!
SN would be great in the studio only problem would it affect his attention from commenting here on the blog?
lol wwpd
In other news, someone got very rich at the Derby. The Super High Five paid $848,360.43. After they take out tax you probably walk out with 600K, or about 13lbs of 100s 😁🤑💰
Minx Tanner is going to teach the youth how to fight and throw a check on the boards. That’s got to be worth something, no?
Carolina can’t lose this series; they have the fashion plate K’Andre Miller.
Go Canes!
Beezle
NO!
Where’s coos when we need him?
The old proverb goes, “Those who can, do; those who can’t, teach.”
Perhaps Tanner is better as teacher?
Filth having problems getting the engine started tonight. Must have though round two started after round one was over.
Stankoven is a wrecking ball ou there. The Rangers don’t have anything close to that kind of skill and tenacity.
one PA team down one to go. I wonder how the filth will look against the mighty Hurricanes when the 2nd round begins!
Carolina is a dirty team
I still remember the broad street bullies.
Shut out. Even better.
These are the kindler, gentler Broad St Cheesies
I wish the Rangers were dirty. There are too many Caspers* on the squad for my liking.
[* friendly ghosts]
Tanner Glass replacing Ortmeyer has Rempe looking forward to his next gig in 2034
Ya never know! Maybe Glass is just what these Caspers need.
Re: T.Glass…
“And now, he’ll be tasked with helping fix the Blueshirts’ struggle to turn prospects into reliable — and high-end — NHL regulars.” (NYP)
🙄
Go Sabres!
We need to root for Division winners to lose for 2nd first rounder to move up. Right?
Remember when Tanner Glass scored that wicked backhand goal in playoffs…think it was Montreal…no one was more surprised than him
Tanner put the team on his back, even carried extra gum so AV would never run out
Need to get Kikita Klepov
K’Andre Miller could be the next Ranger to lift the Stanley cup.

Plenty of Rangers win the Stanley Cup….just not with the Rangers.
?
“People are gonna think this matters. It doesn’t. DPD isnt developing players like a lot of fans seem to think.
They help make sure players have all the resources they need to transition to the pros (nutrition, trainers, etc etc). They are like a pro team concierge and mentor to make sure young players aren’t left in the dark on important transition-related stuff.
How well a players skills actually develop is on coaching and trainers, not the DPD. ”
sounds like a sweet gig with little or no demonstrable success metrics. makes you wonder how somebody gets fired!
What? Shots are 18-4 and TB is down 1-0?
wwpd
Right? Ortmeyer was probably winging it big time to get canned from a job like that one!
Habs with ZERO shots in the 2nd period. Unreal.
Ole ole ole oh no 🤣
Habs? Those are Rangers 8 shots in 52 minutes?
Trouble is the Rangers never win with 8 shots.
Wish Singh was calling the game
Ole!
I bet there’s never been a game 7 winner with no shots in one period
Marty St. Louis – 2014-Mar-05 Traded from Tampa Bay Lightning with round 2 pick in the 2015 draft to New York Rangers for Ryan Callahan, round 1 pick in the 2014 draft, round 1 pick in the 2015 draft and round 7 pick in the 2015 draft.
All that for 31 goals and retirement as a Ranger.
Rangers know how to win those trades
Neither team was impressive, but they both had humongous humanoids in net.
Dobes is a big boy 6’4″ 215.
Guess I’m sticking with the Wildthangs and CapriSun. Wish I had gotten a series bet in on them, has to be a big number!
Per @SNstats, Canadiens set a Stanley Cup playoffs record for fewest shots on goal in a win
LeBrun: Seven games, all decided by one goal. The youngest team in the Stanley Cup playoffs, Canada’s lone team left, the Montreal Canadiens advances to the second round. The Tampa Bay Lightning are out in the first round for a fourth consecutive year. Crazy.
Post updated for NYR news!
Cale Makar “has the left the chat”, but Colorado don’t seem to care.
When are the wild going to show up?
Oh, there they are.
Remember, the Wild have a hobbit. And never far from the hobbits is that wizard Gandalf!
These two teams might need bigger goalies.
not Paul Mara! he was just about to turn things around!
12 goals so far?
15 goals? There will be two missing goalies on milk cartons tomorrow.
pitchers duel in Denver!
All Star D last night. I assume that will change in game 2. Hughes and Makar are fun to watch.
Canadiens and their rookie goalies
Great goaltending in Fla;as apposed to whatever was happening in Col.
Actually felt sorry for Tampa’s goalie on the shot that beat him. Both goalies were on fire last night.
I think Col vs Carolina will be a great final.
2 bouncy goals…tough loss for Bolts
Habs have the goalie that can take them to the Promised Land.
I guess they were playing Canadian football in Denver last night?
Buff can take out ex-Adams division foes and settle old (all) family business
Bos – Mon – Hartford (Canes) – Quebec Nords (Avs)
And you thought she was already at the beach! (repost from GGMM)
Florida or Isles get 1st pick?
both guys shined in the playoff matchup of the top two dmen in the nhl! 2-1 +2 for the guy whose team gave up 6 goals, 1-2 +0 for the guy whose team gave up 9 goals.
rematch tuesday.
Rasmus Dahlin, Gabriel Landeskog and Jonathan Toews are finalists for the Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy 👏
The award is presented “to the player who best exemplifies the qualities of perseverance, sportsmanship and dedication to hockey.”
Why play up if you can playback and never have to forecheck, pick your spots to jump in the play, make millions scoring 9 goals per season
Ottawa’s Ridly Greig has been suspended for two regular season games for roughing Carolina’s Sean Walker.
This was the jumping in sucker punch
Who’s goaltender will survive the barrage?
Filth playing better after Gritty was insulted
Let’s go Canes!
Rangers need one of these Walrus goaltenders.
Gritty will be in very bad mood if Filth don’t get the split
Flyers seem offensively challenged; I’ll be shocked if they win this one.
How the f do you miss from so close?
Gritty feeling pretty Chitty. Itty bitty pity…
Sweet Caroline…
That’s a tough loss for filth
Igor was a top-5 goalie statistically this year but imagine what he could do with another 30 pounds on him!
Ducks wiz robbed on the no icing call…our fine, fine officials
Howden (5) now one goal behind the playoff leaders. Crazy.
7PM!
Guys- it was so exciting to see Caramel Anthony speak during the Knicks post-game.
Hedman is better and now immersed in golf therapy
Lottery Go Time? I think Graves should represent Rangers for good luck…it worked for Isles last year
I do not trust Bettman. Rangers will probably end up with pick # 5. Florida 1OA.
Graves picked for the Azzdancers last season?
Morrow picked for Isles… figure bring back a player from Cup year
Pete….I’m thinking the same thing. Being a Rangers fan has corrupted our outlook.
Hope they get lucky tonight. This will probably be the biggest excitement for them for a while.
Rich
Unfortunately I am probably right. If I’m wrong Drury will screw it up by trading for Austin Matthews giving up rebuilding assets that will accomplish nothing in the long run. The only hope we have as Ranger fans is to drink more!
I think E3 should be allowed the honors, at least it will be entertaining!
Lindy Ruff says Sam Carrick, who practised with the Sabres today, is now listed as “day-to-day.”
NEW POST AHEAD OF THE BIG REVEAL
but until then stay here lol
Pete…Matthews, Khatchuk ….or any of these quick fix guys….NOOOO.
Dreary better build right.
