Lundqvist stole that game. Haven’t been able to say that much this season. It was 60 minutes of Lundqvist, two moments of brilliance by Buchnevich and Lindberg, a solid effort from Vesey, and absolute garbage from almost everyone else.

Pirri hit from behind 2 feet from the boards…….no call. We must be playing a team from Canada.
I just got the better of myself also..pulled my shirt over my head while ripping my baseball cap.off now I am yelling at myself on the couch
I just Plekanic’d myself into my couch with a nice vodka cran. Will be face-painting my liver tonight
Lmao ..nice..sounds like you’ll be getting a call from the depth of player safety
Coldest day in ages but ice looks slow
James
Never said that about either player.
Department. .damb auto korect…
Catcher doing his best Grabner
Fuggggg
I took MSG GO when I was backed up…
Gerund = fail. WWEbber off the top rope
Greasy goal, old-school. Pour it on net, wait for a tip to go your way.
So I have to watch on NHL Network where I get to listen to Gary Galley flog the Habs for the entire game. Ugh.
Finns talk to E3 aboot being backed up
Price with a bad rebound. Perhaps some shots would be in order?
Clendening is looking a lot like a #8 defenseman lately.
Blech.
Still a chance for 1 good period although I doubt it.
How do they look? I’m at the Panthers game. I hate it when my phone buzzes. I just figure it’s Montreal at this point. Smh
Don Cherry – scarier than a circus clown
rangers are 1-2 so far this year against the canadiens, if they lose this game they would be 1-3, is there anybody else we don’t want the rangers to play in the 1st round?
I smell another 1 exit no waiting story…
Pretty, pretty, pretty good, Ev. Got em right where we want em.
I think it’s 0-1-1, tommy, and i think the Rangers would be pretty happy to play Montreal in the first round, then whatever slop remains in the Atlantic bracket.
Worst team ever, as usual, Ev.
LGR Rangers!
Is this really the freshest post? HAV…
Agree, Montreal is far from their worst first round matchup
Realizing now “LGR Rangers” is a bit redundant
Memba when they used to touch the puck?
Literally
evidently skjei playing with the flu
Carp, the last game I was at down here went to a shootout. Smh
Just like you predicted…. Not that that’s a difficult thing to predict with these guys though. Lol
Pirri really is useless
Butch Cassidy likes that short side
💩💩
Game ovah. Cans w/ too much extra eff-it
This is a strange team
Less than the sum of its parts
Seriously? Wtf? How does hank look?
Sam is the ultimate mush. I swear- everytime he says something good about the Rangers play, you can be sure the opposition will score on that same shift….
Another lopsided game so far. Henrik simply cannot keep his ass in the net. Second goal against is his fault. Wonder if he will give himself the evil eye in the mirror after the period.
This one totally on Hank, from first not much challenging, silly puck handling to loosing a sense of net behind in open, readable shot .
Good sustained pressure, unrewarded, Hank serves up a double softy, stickhandles, overcommits to shot. Wouldn’t mind seeing Raanta tonight in this nothing game.
And what the heck is a lekhonen?
With or without our hurt guy, every home game looks exactly the same
Gotta get Wikileaks to look into this
Ride the 4th line–tell them it’s a tryout…HOW DID NASH MISS?
The tragic clown…
Hey kids! Just got home….would you like a new thread to talk about how awful this team is?
Looks like another game I don’t have to watch when I get home. That’s happened waaaaay too often this year.
Joe just referenced a save by Buchnevich ….Sam is having an effect on just for men…
This team has no identity anymore they are lost.
This is what happens when you don’t forecheck/have no balls/want to play fancy hockey. You get shut down. So sick of it. Put the damn puck in Montreal’s end and get to work!
If habs win, it will have nothing to do with their size, if rangers lose it will have nothing to do with physically losing battles.
Henrik tried to set Pacioretty us for another one.
Booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
FG
This team is exactly the sum of its parts
The 1 dollar cup of coffee isn’t happening at DD tomorrow is it?
IS IT!!! Fug it I’ll head to the soup kitchen..
Buch is a great passer, but he needs to shoot once in awhile.
Glad I-95 is in
So you want new post or not?
POKECHECK..
Who is I-95 and why?
The night is not totally lost..I already have .20 cents piled up in bottle returns…I’ll never be broke again…
It looks like this game is Rangers to lose… and it’s not just lucky deflected first goal, or Hank’s ” culpa” second; it is slowness in everything – thinking, making decisions with a puck, fighting for loose pucks, getting out of own zone, etc. Skating fast strait and unchallenging doesn’t mean PLAYING fast…
Melting down…
That’s even funny…
Pull his ass already geez
If we give up 3 do I get free hair on my papa John pizza
Hank looking for something in his pants.
Hank the tank
Henrik: What a difference tonight vs. the Boston game.
Love these sweaters the rangers are wearing….probably my fave.
This is a diabolical plan..stay out of the top 3 in the Metro…this has Austin Powers all over it…
Tonight is not Henk’s birthday 😉
Skjei utterly horrible there, and game over, but the Rangers have deserved more than got this period, good effort for a sustained time.
Hank sure gave shay the stink eye.
Can Smith at least drop the gloves with Shaw or something?
To me, it’s deja vu all over again. Last year the rangers got off to a blazing start, than after 1-2 months played mediocre hockey for the rest of the season right into the playoffs, sound familiar?
Eric by 8:45
Yeah Clearly the Rangers are licking their chops to draw this team first round..
Ott sucks
Same here, Wicky. Love that sweater.
Cccp
I-95=buch because he’s going back and forth between NYC and Hartford
C3, this game doesn’t deserve a Go Time.
Filth in the metro
Perhaps if there’s no Go Time, it didn’t really happen.
Also perfect example of what winning a draw can do for a team on habs first goal
Klein and Girardi are invisible tonight. Grabner too. and Raanta and Fast.
Still rather Habs in first round but how stupid and cheap is Jacobs for letting Julien sing with division rival
Team somehow lost it pivot. Chaotic, unstructured systemless game… I don’t know who’s fault is that coaches or players or both, but this contest is inexcusable .
I am not certain that the Vigneault game plan of zero physical play, long stretch passes resulting in icings and unskilled defensemen is a winning playoff formula. This game looks a lot like the games look when the Rangers play Columbus and Washington. They are getting rushed and crushed with no response. If the first wildcard is preferable and you go out in round 1 anyway, you are a failure. Montreal is just as fast as the Rangers and much more physical. Refs clearly decided they weren’t calling penalties in this game…….just like the playoffs will be.
Butch more like I-84 roadmap speaking
What in Holy Hell?
Valiquette sweater screams “touch my monkey”
With that third goal, Montreal’s own Papa JeanValJean’s serving free oyster crepes for breakfast tomorrow to all fans 2 and under
Roadmapically.
If the Rangers go into the playoffs sans Girardi, Klein, Grabner and Fast, I agree they will be in trouble. They have been exposed these last few games, no surprise. Hate to miss the third, attending a school (dis)function.
It’s ok lady
The rangers don’t do sorts either
This team is really really bad right now chaos on ice! Zero confidence.
Looks like the Rangers have finally become the team that everybody expected before the season.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So, we stink again?
These Agera commercials are painful
Should have traded Gnash, the hobbit and Stepan at the deadline. Honestly would not have made one bit of difference. 1st round exit!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
From what you guys have said it looks like the third will be tonight’s one good period.
How to respond to your goalie being ran down 101
Evrockriser
wanna play NHL 17 after the game is over?
I hope Antti is in for 3rd. I think Hank had his bell rung right before that 3rd goal.
The blog is reaching biblical proportions – we have the three E’s of the apocalypse
non-believers in momentum – Carp
believers in momentum – the World
I’m at the Panthers game. Depends on how late you’ll be up.
Btw, these guys are gonna eat the Rangers up. Dammit.
Hank was run into?
Living large, eh? You always at the Panthers game… you go to every home game?
It appeared that Henrik took a stick up high. He took a second or 2 to get back up. A bit later, there was an unattended net for Shaw to put a wrap-around into.
Cccp
Excellent point and post re response to goalie contact
I have half season tickets plus I sometimes go to other ones.
We scored!
Hooray for our side !
Love Dubi, was my favorite ranger, thanks a lot Darth Sather you piece of Bleep!!!
I’m up for some nhl17 after the game
The Price is right
TYM
i think the stick was friendly fire from skjei
Linesmen = ridiculous
Duguays hair is eternally struggling to get back to its former glory
Oriental Words of Wisdom from Duguay: “When you play well, it gives you confidence in yourselves.”

Wick, don’t you have a crapbox?
The only thing good about this game is the guy I’m playing in fantasy has Lundqvist.
Chinese fire escape. Woof
Not our night if Jordie Bennie scoring
Wicky
You got PS4?
This game is over.
No penalties called yet. Our chance to goon it up. 🙂
Aaaaaaaand it’s 4. Smh
Both Benn’s scored tonight. Jamie scored down here.
SEINFELD! FOUR!
No one has mentioned face-off problemos this season. We’re right at the bottom of the well league-wise.
We’re gonna hear olė olė tonight aren’t we.
We have one truly offensively talented player in Nash, we have about five guys somewhat talented in different aspects and we have six guys who couldn’t score at Carps bachelor party
Staal actually tries to move his man and succeeds at nothing but screening Hank.
Rangers home game this season is just pure horse on fans and much embarrassment. Pukable. Period.
Joe: “Boy, that goal sure took the life out of this place.”
Note to Joe: No life in that “place” in years.
It’s not that I don’t like AV but I question the timing of his extension when the team is so clearly on life support on draws, special teams and overall crispness
This team has no balls. Gorton knows it and will hopefully address it in the off season. In the meantime, I sure do look forward to getting bounced by these guys in 5 games… 😏
I hope MTL plays Boston in playoffs this year
losing 4-1
oh hi Craig
Another team we can’t meet in the playoffs? I sure hope we meet Carolina…
Did they win just ONE faceoff?
A little perspective ….Rangers are a little banged up and stole a game the other night…just have to go into playoffs healthy
AV: “I thought we had some good looks. Mostly when Hank removed his mask between periods. Handsome devil.” (picks at asscrack)
Carp – you’re an MSG mole now, so tell us. I assume AV coaches this stuff during their “practices” so what goes wrong between practice and Gametime when these guys revert to sucking in so many key aspects
Hey, if you lose, you lose. What pisses me off most is the lackadaisical effort AGAIN in front of the paying fans.
Now it’s on to Chicago and let’s win there.
The difference between Montreal and NYR is Subban. Oh, wait….
Staal outmuscled and hurt shoulder vs a lightweight
Staal is truly pathetic.
Chicago 3 Nashville 2 after 2.
Shay joins Staal in litter box, says: “Well, at least me and you kicked some ass out there tonight.”
Tonight’s rangers suck
Tonight’s rangers suck
I’m telling you. Part of me thinks AV should have been fired before Julien
#42 (Jackie Robinson) stomps through runway cursing, so that’s a plus.
Alex- am I wrong?! I don’t give a CRAP if you think I only show up when they’re losing. I read the board all the time and I’m entitled to post when I want. Sooooo sorry for calling it like I see it and being a passionate fan who’s fed up. I’m sick of watching this team lose battles along the boards, get beat to pucks, not be able to complete a pass tape to tape and somehow think they’re the Harlem globetrotters on ice, and CONSTANTLY get pinned in their own zone. It’s frustrating and it’s a product of not only the system they play, but the personnel they have on the ice. So again, tell me I’m wrong…..
Hawks blow!
The blog has officially turned into LoHud Yankees
Chinese flint
If Vesey keeps his new edge and turns into young Callahan I’ll be thrilled
Dammmit! We need some fire. We need some muscle. We need some pride. We need some leadership. Don’t tell me what a wonderful job Gorton is doing. Is he blind?
Rangers are fortunate that the garden is a benign arena now. In the old days, crappy efforts like that would have resulted in chants of refund.
I wanted Giannone ask loudly just one question getting in the lockeroom after this game: Ain’t you, guys ashamed of yourself ? Look me in the eyes and answer…
Who cares what Stephan has to say
It is painful being a Ranger fan. At least Olga has the Hawks.
What’s with this popularity of 4:1 losses at home?
Craig
I’m sure you’ve heard of the expression “glass half full” or “glass half empty”. i would suggest that not only do you not have a drop you don’t even have a glass.
Am I wrong?
What a way to go through life.
Here comes more Maloney baloney
The worst part of all this is that eventually, in the playoffs, certain guys who should be our mainstays feel the need to push back and become more aggressive and others, just in trying to defend themselves, all end up in the cat box. Losing method. This GM should have peppered this roster with a couple few players who will make a statement, shake things up, and the take someone to the box with them.
Our playoff opposition will send behemoths (in size and/or attitude) after the likes of McDonagh, Vesey, Nash, Topo , etc. from the opening puck drop and try to get them off the ice.
Alex,
Yes I’m familiar with the expression. And let’s just go ahead and pump the brakes on that. Just because I’m a realist about how this team is currently constructed doesn’t make me a “glass half empty”…or as you would so cleverly put it “not even a drop” kind of a guy. But, hey…. thanks for assuming you have even the faintest idea of who am as a person just because I’m frustrated with this team. That’s cute…
So Rangers should have traded for Ott, Doan or Iginla? Kind of nuts
I’m giving this one a rating of:
💩💩💩
Colorado is more consistent than us..they’re Terrible at home..they’re terrible on the road..like Morty’s pants…they’re good for inside. .they’re good for outside..
Our stars have to be able to turn their cheeks, but to do that, we need someone who will step up and challenge the bully. Otherwise, unless we can win 4-0, it’s just a humiliating, self-defeating situation.
Craig…pumping the brakes went DOA about the same time as wooden hockey sticks without curved blades! 🤠
Bobbyo- see that’s the thing. I don’t think much could’ve been done at the deadline. Doan is too old, Ott is… well, he’s Ott. This needs to be addressed during the off-season. I’m fairly certain Gorton has seen enough to know they need more playable toughness.
Take away a win in Boston and we are looking at the 4 games losing streak.
Games like this one makes you miss one of Torts’ electric Pressers.
Fivefinns… u remind me of taking the armoire.
Lol thanks Papa Bug Eddie… would “slow your roll” suffice?
I have had enough of this cotton candy team for one night. I’m going to bed somebody blow taps this team is dead!!!!!
Again with this garbage goalie. Time to get rid of him. That loser!
That’s good Craig if they wait for off season and don’t waste draft picks on more guys past their prime…this team is banged up right now and I think Kreider and Miller are the playable tough guys that are going to step up during playoffs
Thank u Papa ..I AM THE ARMOIRE
John Gia no one listens… ..”Ryan..can you speak to why this team starts playing during the post game interviews?”
Hawks Win! 5-3
Meet a 10 year old vlogger Sceneable…The most awake human being on the planet.
Hope so! Once they clinch, hope Kreider gets a few games off to heal up…. Despite his goal tonight, you can tell he’s fighting through an injury. I won’t discount the fact that they’re banged up and that certainly plays a role in their success, but they’re just tough to watch lately. As I said earlier, as this team is currently constructed, I just don’t think they’re built for the grind of the playoffs. We shall see….
Is that Andy Milankis’s love child?
Of course they’re playing this way just when they’re coming down to South Florida for their one and only appearance this season. Ugh. Not looking forward to Tuesday.
Hear you ..ups and downs of a season…overall they have had a decent season ….lot of folks said they would not make playoffs but they have lot of good young talent
It’s almost like you have no business training whatsoever. ..
I’m just trying to get ahead
I cants stands this goalie. He’s old and he always loses every time I watch him.
Right now we resemble the Island of Misfit Toys….
Gorton is King Moonraker..
Nash is the gun that shoots jelly…
Stall is the train with square wheels..
Pirri is the Charlie in the Box. ..
And Steph..is Hermie..the Elf..”It’s all settled…we have to better in the morning..”
Pretty dreadful stretch for our boys. Space on the ledge may be at a premium. If they can’t right the ship during the Southern swing I will go into full panic mode. Injuries are a problem, but, they are being outplayed and outworked. Not sure there is an easy answer.
I tell ya. If I sees this Lundqvist guy out at a bar. Ima whoop his butt. I bet in him 5x and he lost all 5. Cost me good money.
When he gets back Jesper “Yukon Cornelius” Fast will lead us back to ChristmasTown…I’m certain..
Dozed off during Rangers in 60..woke up to ..
1 877 KRAP 4 FANS…
DONATE YOUR GAME TODAY…
Gallagher did whatever he wanted to tonight..I fully expected him to take out his freakishly large mallet and smash some watermelons and other assorted fruit…rangers only had gluten free melons for him
Speaking of mallets.. I miss troy mallette…
Why am I watching Rangers in 60??!..Am I subconsciously hoping for a Moonlight comeback? For the Rangers to be named Winners? What are we doing? I’m not a man..
I’m a child…I should be having dinner with my son…
Coos
I’ve been lamenting our lack of face off ability since preseason, but hey we have a lot of guys that can skate fast (can’t do anything else) so who cares about draws.
–
This was the most embarrassing loss of the season…and it’s not even close. End of game miller is goes nose to nose with petry (I think) for a second and does drop gloves, price starts chirping him and nothing, then ott (who hits but can’t fight worth a crap) is in his sweater for the last 30 seconds of the game and nothing from one of our “tougher” players. Pride fellas, a little pride.
–
Every team that might face the rangers in the post season sees that hank can be run and the only policing that might or might not come is from the officials (and hey, you never know). If they do take a penalty, doesn’t really matter because they know the rangers can’t win a pp draw so they’ll just be able to clear the zone.
Don’t worry, a nothing game, according to some.
Can’t wait until Girardi comes back to save the team.
.
Makes you feel like you are getting the raw end of the deal
The Chase Ledge is officially open for business.
Good news 4th in Metro
Bad News Habs 1st in Atlantic
Interesting quote from the coach:
“Right now we’ve got quite a few guys that are fighting it, a couple guys’ games are not very good,” Vigneault said. “But that’s still not a reason to execute at the level we did tonight, and it’s still not a reason to lose the number of 1-on-1 battles that we lost tonight.
“So it has to be a reality check here.”
Wick, the game ends with Ott literally chasing Miller around the ice and no one, NO ONE wearing our colors comes anywhere near. Pathetic. And I don’t blame Miller at all. Kreider and Miller don’t need to be fighting, just playing tough. A broken hand on either one of them and we’re done.
Coos
I see what you are saying but 100% respectfully disagree with it, miller has to do something there.
Lol, I just accidentally liked my own comment
Cccp and ev
Yes I have Xbox one because I refuse to purchase a PlayStation and help isis fund their communication network
I voted easy peasy Jimmy vesey, McDonut, and mr smith goes to New York….in no particular order
There is no finer whine than Bonehead whine. This blog has become a parody of itself. Any Rangers win, they didn’t win correctly. Any Rangers loss, end of the world, Lundqvist sucks, AV should have been fired beforehand, they’re too soft (zzzz), Gorton doesn’t know what he’s doing, etc., etc. Like this team is going anywhere with Clendending, Smith, Puempel and Pirri. Seriously?
James
You also might want to look at games played…significant difference bro
Since Jan 1:
Overall; 16-10; Eastern Conf: 10-10 – Metro Div. 4-4; Atl 6-6
Current Eastern PO teams; 4-7; Home 1-5; Road 3-2
.
Some see a similar pattern with last year; hot start, cold end with trouble scoring and defending save for Henk reaching back to channel his old dominant self every second or third game. Where’s Auntie?
.
Pirri has played 54 of 65 games so he is part of the mix but should not be and probably won’t but who knows…
Smith is playing first pair so he is part of the mix as well and should be unless Girardi is the savior.
.
Video of Boneheads heading to the Ledge:
And as for what he can do to pick his team up, Vigneault seemed exasperated. “I have to tell you, I really think these guys can make a 10-foot pass without me having to tell them,” he said
That was especially true in the defensive zone and has really been the entire year. How many times do you have to watch them take possession of the puck, look like that have a clear exit, only to see the puck carrier spin around, maybe go back and then around the net or do cross ice to another defender even further back in the zone – and then the other team has changed or come back after them and the puck never leaves our end. Its really disheartening to watch to the point I don’t even yell WTF are you doing! anymore.
They are also not committed to the forecheck. The offense yesterday was like watching my gas stove when some of the jets are clogged… flame goes on then off back and forth at random. The stove usually fixes it self, not so sure how to fix desire and determination.
Glass and Kamfer recalled from Hartford. Who comes out?
Puempel or Pirri? Maybe Kreider because he’s hurt.
Outside of McDonough and Smith who’s still learning the system and isn’t really a 1st pair dman, I could see any of them sitting. Probably Skjei or Clendening though.
Wow. Glass, just when you thought it was safe. What a capitulation, and what a slap in the face to Jensen and Beck, both of whom can actually play a little. Still, happy for him, and for Wick and others who’ll finally get to see a Ranger punch someone in the face. I hope it works–AV obviously loves him and you hear Glass gives really good locker room. And any warm body from Hartford is a good thing at this point, as the team nurses its injuries. Mostly glad the Rangers are headed off to their home away from home: the road.
(And I don’t follow the Lighting at all, but they are up there in penalty minutes. I’ll leave it to the boxing fans to predict whom Glass will fight.)
