Did youse see what happened in Philly? Simmonds had two goals then appeared to deflect his third. All those greasy, grimy hats came down onto the ice, and the goal was credited to Voracek. PA guy thanked everybody for the hats.
According to Sam the Rangers are “taking exception” to all of the cheap shots. Maybe after the game the team can write a letter to the Caps letting them know how upset they are with them and have Rammer take it over to the visitors locker room
Buttman should have been impeached along time ago.

We’re still not at the NFL-level of review, but there’s still time for the NHL to get this right: Take off-sides out of the reviewable items in a coach’s challenge. It’s embarrassing. I’m surprised the Officials union isn’t all over it – it makes the linesmen look bad on a nightly basis.
I think the ONLY challenge could be if there is a suspicion on goalie interference, which is legit “causus quo”, not what happened (or not) 20 minutes ago on the blue line under microscope; and has absolutely no relation and relevance to the scored goal. Apotheosis of idiotic…
cooscoos
Buttman’s next decree will be that any State that doesn’t allow Bullwinkle the Moose into any bathroom he wants will not get an NHL franchise.
Norm Merton
Trying to imagine who in Toronto is sitting around giggling in satisfaction at the improvement to the game their clerk-y little delayed offside has brought. Every time a goal is scored now, the scoreboard should light up with an all-caps NERD ALERT.
Olga Folkyerself
Where has this Kampfer been hiding? A Trailer Park?
Family Guy
We are a different team without Zib
And by different I mean slightly worse
Admiral Akbar
Lmao olga
cooscoos
Micheletti sprays his head with black aerosol outdoor furniture paint. I have kept this fact quiet long enough.
Didn’t suit up, sn. Injured last game from a blocked shot.
Admiral Akbar
Thanks to Gary Butthead for the offsides rule —
Not only does reversing a huge goal kill momentum, but the 10 minutes of iPad review kills any possibility of regaining composure.
Bettman is worse than Drumpf
CCCP
Trautwig said that Kempfer has an unbelievable Stanley cup story to tell! Can’t wait to hear a story that was already told by Micheletti earlier in the game!
It appears to me the rangers have had troubles in the 2nd period all year long.
Family Guy
If trump blocked all NHL immigrants, the rangers would be the only team left standing
SN
Norm – team was outhit and didn’t have the puck. Down by one goal is a testament to Henk. Been totally outplayed. Eventually you need to decide if you are going to be the bug or the windshield.
cooscoos
Kampfer to Troutwig: “You gotta put your best foot forward.” Gees, we got ourselves ANOTHER Rhodes Scholar.
Did you guys see that awkward hand shake between Kempfer and Trautface? LOL…Kempfer squeezed Al’s hand so hard Al was rubbing it after lol
Jeff
I understand our coach has won a lot of games,but not having an answer to the physical play of Wilson is embarrassing. Kind of miss then day when torts could put out a couple of players who could win fights.
I hate the wussiness of this team. The Panthers were like that most of the season too but somehow they all finally got on the same page.
Most of these guys have been playing with each other for a while now. You’d think they’d give a crap about their teammates by now. Smh

Evrock:
It LITTLE to nothing to do with the play.
It’s a bullsht rule. Let’s review the past 30-45 seconds or more of tape to see if there was a skate blade ahead of the puck.
This game is right on point, had caps winning 4-2 on a empty net goal. I rather see the rangers stay right where they are, in the 7th seed. Lets pray they don’t lose to many games in a row or they could be fighting for the 7th and 8th seed.
cooscoos
My ex-wife drove me to excessive drink. I never really got the chance to thank her.
Olga Folkyerself
They miss calls all game long. Why does a missed offsides cancel a goal? Just play on…
Olga Folkyerself
I told my ex-wife “You’re driving me to my grave!” She had the car out in two minutes…
Norm Merton
The Rangers must fight them in the d-zone, in center ice… they shall go on to the end. They shall fight in France, they shall fight on the seas and oceans, they shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, they shall defend their end, whatever the cost may be. They shall fight on the beaches, they shall fight all the way to the penalty box, they shall fight in the fields and in the streets, they shall fight in the hills; they shall never surrender.
Or they could try outscoring them.

4-1 caps no contest. Rangers again do nothing significant at the deadline except giving up more assets. I guess I’m stating the obvious.
4-1 loss book it.
Is it fair to say that this game means very little for both team, except for show off?
NOT a MUST win game for sure, but should try to avoid an embarrassment of any kind…Show us some dignity, for rotten teeth of Trout sake…
Good evening all! LGR!!!!!!!
I think it will be a show case for Hank (and a tough one). Who want to bet, that Shut and kirk will score tonight?
Mama!!!
4ever!!!!!
Mama!
Boy I miss home when the boys play MSG and they show shots of the city…..don’t even think about it except then….
Headzo!!!!!
LGR !!!
I miss it too…ready to go crash at my brother’s place one of these days!
Screw Oshie !
Where you now shorts? 😜
And what are the thoughts on Smith here? I’m catching up….
Kinda bummed Kirkenshatt went to DC but hopefully they’ll be ousted in Round 1 & he then signs with NYR in the offseason.
Mama – re: NYC – agreed & it makes me miss it sometimes, but it was 80 today in the big D!
lgr
We scored first! We scored FIRST!!!!
Shea Hey!!! LGR!!!
Our Skjei is > than their Sat and kick..
Yeah, Headzo, I hear ya….I wore a sundress for the second time this week….
LGR! Smith lives!
Mama…grrrrrrrr!
FIRE SATHER!
Hope I’m wrong but I think Kreider got hurt along the boards.
Jambalaya !
Skjei hey!
When I said Disneyland a few posts ago, I pretty much meant it!
How many silly mistakes you are making? Can’t waist the opportunity so easy when you play good team
Time for a PP goal…
Hate to say I told you so, kreider hurt.
Pp is a horror show
Eric! Olga!
Mama! How you be?
Except for admittedly poor play in PP, I like what I see in 1st from Rangers.
Kreider is not playing?
Exactly 1st period game 9 days ago vs caps. Should be 3-0. We got through last Sunday not tonight.
Well, they did hit two posts on the PP. I’d say they were trying…
Kreider is hurt, got hurt along the boards earlier in the period.
C3! He gots hurt….went off…
Olga, same …. Perturbed!!!
Tried to skate, went to room.
Rangers getting knocked around pretty regularly.
Carp!
wow!! rangers injuries starting to pile up again. Team can’t stay healthy.
I got the end of season upper body injury blues….
Did youse see what happened in Philly? Simmonds had two goals then appeared to deflect his third. All those greasy, grimy hats came down onto the ice, and the goal was credited to Voracek. PA guy thanked everybody for the hats.
I’m at the Panthers game watching the Rangers game on the NBC app. Lol
Mama!
Rangers look totally intimidated (s)
Ready for the shootout, Ev?
Wilson kill someone by end tonight.
Oduya and his beard back to Chicago, Olga.
They started it after the anthem.
Holy hartnell, I’m gonna shove a sleeve of hash browns in his face if I ever get the chance
Again with late period chinese fireplace.
On the Posy posy side, they didn’t give one up late.
Mark Twain = Samuel Clemens = Beast
does anyone miss the muzzlim tonight is nash playing
Jagr. Pp goal.
JR said the caps had plane legs. Is that anything like the jimmy leg?
For real, Carp? You have a reputation now, you know…
Second period start yet?
Trochek. 2-0
Ovi wearing the green shade.
It looks almost as if the Caps are trying to set up Ovi on this PP.
Ovechkin sure ain’t no Pirri.
Even Staal’s retaliation is via shuffleboard.
MIracle Met brought down twice…no calls
Shattenkirk. The Captain’s log?
Ha! Good one….
For real, Olga
Why is Miller heading back to Dzone as Caps bring puck up?
Valiquette waxing poetic about Smith. Wonder how many Detroit games he watches. My guess few or none.
Another penalty not called
WTF?
Unreal no-call there.
Now the Hawks just need Sharp back…
Nash – Step – Fast : the checking line
Tom Wilson, is that the creole chef, Carp? Or is that Justin Williams?
Staal Crosschecked by the Great Ape
Miracle MEt tripped
Henk run into to
.
no calls. Even the refs don’t want to see the PP
Coos….no carcillo…..
Step, Staal with A’s. Why?
According to Sam the Rangers are “taking exception” to all of the cheap shots. Maybe after the game the team can write a letter to the Caps letting them know how upset they are with them and have Rammer take it over to the visitors locker room
This year the refs have been much better against the rangers but there pissing me off tonight.
Instigator?
Been waiting for this fuglyness…..
Learn more and more about Clendening with every game..tonight for instance- clearly he cannot and should not fight. got it. check. moving right along
Either one of the teams or neither is going to get a huge lift from the fisticuffs. Bathroom break.
coos, those A’s stand for “alternate captain”. Glad to help.
Fugg
And fug…..
Haze has to tie that man up
I take exception to that goal
Holden sleeps through the rebound.
Plenty of time.
Can’t be more juicer from Hank…
Holden had the best seat in the house for that goal.
just like the previous game. great first period then just send the Caps a written invitation to get back into the game. which they do with pleasure.
It’s easy to score when you ha e the slot all to yourself. Hayes’ man?
Have NYR had hte puck yet this period?
Winnik is as close to todays goon as you can get. he is a fighter, don’t understand what Miracle Met was thinking.
Tin Pan Alley
imagine the plays that could happen if any of Grabner’s teammates could keep up with him?
Justin Wilson: “how much hottah? Bout foah miles hottah.”
they have, SN. I saw it clear as day. it was right there in the back of their net
Not leading by more then a goal and pp 0-2 the story after 1
Glad to see THE is back playing.
Tom Wilson must think he died and went to heaven playing with Ovechkin
Our D corps is ill-trained.
For every Winnik there is some Colton Orr, somewhere…but not in the Rangers roster…Sigh.
James, I think one reason for Haze centering Grabner is to force #13 to speed it up.
“I garontee that’s gonna be hot enough foa’ you”
VC?
WHOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
Grabbr!!
Hot Diggety
Graba daba doo!
Yippee!!!! Jambayahtzee!
Rangers were offside three minutes earlier. Will come back.
Holtby should have flung his helmet off
2-1! Grabner that bounce!
NYR playing with some passion after that fight much to Norm’s chagrin.
i’m really growing tired of these coaches challenges. highlight of the ‘new nhl’
Refs suck tonight so not expecting much on challenge
I was actually joking. Honest to God, this rule can’t go away fast enough.
I’m goddamned fed up with this off-sides bullcheet! Fed up!
Ed Asner with the challenge.
SN, Caps got the goal immediately after the fight, so they must have gotten the lift. Grrr.
Why don’t they just have an off-ice official at the arena looking at this
The way things are going tonight this will probably come back as no goal.
Can’t stand this…..
This kid, Kampfer…I like him so far. Very descent and cool play…
Just watching them take the body Norm. The goal was a bad Haze back check.
Meaning everyone taking the body from Fast to Zucc to Staal.
Once again, had NOTHING to do with the goal being scored. Nothing.
Micheletti: “They put the rule in for the right reason.” What a nitwit tool bozo chump.
Mama, that’s a beaut !
Figgers
Mother hartneller!!!!!
Bet Toronto made that call
Utter nonsense. Makes the NHL look even more like the Mickey Mouse league it already id.
Norm – I know you hate physical play, it is part of the game, sorry…
is.
That’s it. I’m turning on Impractical Jokers.
This IS travesty!!! No other words to describe that BS.
well that sucks
now give up a softee because everyones legs are cold after the 45 mins review
😜 see…..just covering all the bases….
Worst rule in all of sports.
Bettman should be impeached with that offside bullschist 10minute delay of game
Micheletti is a Bettman schill
Buttman should have been impeached along time ago.
We’re still not at the NFL-level of review, but there’s still time for the NHL to get this right: Take off-sides out of the reviewable items in a coach’s challenge. It’s embarrassing. I’m surprised the Officials union isn’t all over it – it makes the linesmen look bad on a nightly basis.

Lmao olga
Micheletti sprays his head with black aerosol outdoor furniture paint. I have kept this fact quiet long enough.
Offside?
Was that offside?
Double stuff fug
The Miracle Met with the error
Everyone was mesmerized by smooth skating?
OMG!!! Miracle Met with the swing and a miss and the rest of the rangers acted like the puck was a live grenade, my goodness.
Still plenty of time.
what happened to Mika?
You know, if you challenge a goal you get a longer timeout than if you call a timeout.
can the rangers hit the net, jeez.
olga – very true, particularly if its close
Mika, upper body injury…
Gerund lost his ing there.
Lucky it’s not 4-1
fuggin shooting gallery
sloppy seconds rewind
Not much fight in this Rangers team right now. Caps playing w/ a bit of a playoff style tempo. Good night grandpa. Good night John boy!
That was a great first period
Miak – 1st period injury or didn’t suit up?
LOL Staal, our star Dman spends his time not aggravating and frustrating Ovi, but rather taking a beating from him.
Micheletti wears Gary Bettman’s women underwear.
Another wonderful 2nd period ends… smh
Warmed up pre-game but didn’t play
When the Rangers win this game, PapaJohns is paying for about four of you to go to therapy
So maybe in the third, if Gerund attacks another Cap’s fist with his jaw he can give his team a lift?
SN, got hurt in the last game the rangers played.
Didn’t suit up, sn. Injured last game from a blocked shot.

Buttman turned the NHL into a glorified WWE a long time ago.
This group has no chance in the playoffs oh wait Brendan Smith is coming.
The offsides rule — “let’s make sure we get it RIGHT, even if the offside HAS NO REAL BEARING ON THE PLAY AS IT UNFOLDS.”
NHL logic SUCKS
Al Troutface is a total moron!!
Admiral! You disparage the commander in chief? Turn in your aircraft carrier!
And I even shut off Maloney — kissing the Craps’ ass — not that impressed with the Craps. They will choke at some point during the playoffs.
When the rangers win there are seven posters. When they’re losing, eleven
Here comes Trump… nope, offside.
Akbar, it had everything to do with the play. It’s a black and white rule. I don’t know why do many people can’t understand that.
It appears to me the rangers have had troubles in the 2nd period all year long.
If trump blocked all NHL immigrants, the rangers would be the only team left standing
Norm – team was outhit and didn’t have the puck. Down by one goal is a testament to Henk. Been totally outplayed. Eventually you need to decide if you are going to be the bug or the windshield.

Not in the first third or so of the season, Tommy. It used to be their best.

They wouldn’t be in the zone to even score a goal if that offsides is called correctly in the first place, Akbar. How does that not affect the play?
The handshake
So, which team comes out for the third? A totally different one than the first two?
Let’s Go stRangers…
Whole new crowd at MSG lately. The old crowd would not let management get away with girly girl hockey.
….and then depression set in…..
Kampfer.
nice tip
team just doesn’t have the puck. Hard to score playign D all night
Marcus Johannson for the Caps.
Marcus Absent for the Rangers.
Goodnight. 1-0
After 1st
And another. At least I don’t have to go home and watch this game after the panther game. Smh
New crowd doesn’t look up from their cell phones enough to notice, Coos
Butch Cassidy coachign the Bruins?
KOA Kampfers
