TBL 3 NYR 2
Rangers’ second and third periods play last night was like the Blizzard Stella…nonexistent.
All the ladies in NY are wondering where all those promised inches at?!
Thanks! I’m here all week, try the veal!

But I don’t like veal.
I wasn’t surprised that the rangers lost last night. I thought the other night against the red wings was more on the red wings playing a awful game than the rangers looking like a good team. Rangers can’t even beat a team without there 2 best players in the lineup, pathetic.
Then stay for the jokes 😉
The Rangers looked like a good team in the first period. After that, not so much. They forgot how to finish. How else do you explain all of the “grade A chances” and nothing to show for it?
a foot of sleet/snow up in Westchester – no joke up here. 20 lbs lifts per shovel
grabber comes back for 2 games and gets 1-2-3 +2
a better Hags – need to keep this guy
atta boy, Tommy
I just moved many tons of snow, too.
As Norm and Carp have said, (unless they go into a tailspin), these are not must wins.
Looking forward to getting Fast back. (ducks)
Kamfer>Clendening
Not because he scored. Because we need the 3rd pair guy with Skjei to be steady and defensively responsible. IMO Clendening’s better offensively and could play on a lot of NHL teams.
I worry a little about Buchnevich. I’m pulling for him and I think he’s going to be real good, but as a rookie, he has to pay his dues and he’s got no other Russian team mates to speak with. Looked like he was going to cry when he missed the net.
Klein update?
Sauer Update?
You guys be careful shoveling that crap.
Boy, do I not miss the mid-state NY shoveling or the southern NH shoveling. Out in the NW, you don’t have to shovel the rain, and there’s not as much of that as I expected.
I’m not convinced there is more than 4 in in Brooklyn at the moment. And I had to stay over in the hospital for this?
Nice article, Carp.
Question for you, and the boneheads. Does Raanta have any trade value this offseason, providing he isn’t picked up by Vegas?
Alex accuses me again of having no Stanley Cups – Add to that No World Series Championships; No NCAA championships, No Super Bowl Trophies; No Masters victory; No Olympic golds; No Wimbledons. Guess I’d better shut up.
ILB
I can see Raanta being taken by Vegas and flipped for a 2nd round pick. If he’s not taken by Vegas I think we should keep him as Henrik definitely needs a solid backup at his age.
I think I need a motorized roof rake. My arms feel like I just flew in from Europe.
Ilb – normal for someone with ‘back spasms’ being out this long or are they perhaps not telling us the full story?
And Buch still thinks he’s on the big ice and that he has loads of time to make up his mind what he’s going to do. And checking will get tighter soon. Somebody talk to the boy.
Jackie Robinson got to wear Brendan Smith’s number.
Brendan Smith takes nothing from nobody. Not afraid to dish it out. I’m sure AV will talk to him about that…
Back spasms my foot, Coos.
Buchnevich will need to put on a few more pounds this summer. My 4 year old could bounce him off the puck.
and no Gagarin Cup (KHL trophy) either, Coos…so, yeah…shut it.
I want THE and JT to play tough, which I think is their natural instinct, but I don’t want them over aggressive, fighting or in the box. Management’s job is to see to it that lesser talents are employed do the serious dirty-work.
Thought so, ilb. Just a head-duckin’, foot-shufflin’ country boy here, but that back spasm thing sounded ridiculous to me after 1 game.
But 3C, I do have a small piece of a blini (frozen memorabilia) discarded by Vladislav Tretiak in ’84 at an eat-in deli at Sarajevo
CCCP have Carp get you Buch’s cell # so you can talk some good Red Army sense into the kid. Failing that, THE will have to fill in with his Boston Russian.
The North country is getting a good amount of much needed snow on our mountains. Unfortunately, also wind. I could use a few scoops of your snow in the back of my car, its too light and starts to float in this stuff if I do over 40 even with the studs on.
I am not sure Raanta has more value to somebody else than he has to the Rangers. Somebody would have to be convinced that he can be a No. 1. Not sure what evidence there might be that he is or isn’t. Backups are plentiful in the NHL — though it’s pretty bad when you don’t have one (Fish Tanks). I think he’d be good in Vegas, but he would still be a backup, and I’m pretty sure George McPhee would be much, much better off taking a forward from the Rangers.
and with Shampoo Boy now 35, and going through his most difficult season, a solid backup might be more important than ever.
There goes Carp’s retirement savings:

All I can say is I’m glad this storm track was west of eastern LI because originally they were saying 2 feet plus and I’ve had enough of shoveling snow and 2 plus feet would have been brutal. The problem with the rangers is they don’t finish. In every game they have grade A opportunities and they either pass the puck, miss the net of shoot it back into the goalie. That’s what separates them from the craps, pens, blackhawks, wild and other good teams, not to mention those grade A opportunities shrink against teams who forecheck hard, play physical, something the rangers can’t handle in there own zone. It will be even worse in the playoffs.
I’m going to hold my tongue and stay somewhat positive. Losing to the lightning is equal to a colonoscopy. It seems to me if they don’t easily score off the rush they get frustrated and fail to put in the hard work in the dirty areas. It baffles me.
Seems to me that NY must have Auntie in the wings for this playoff opportunity at least.
Beware the Ides of March
And the ideas of Marchand
Eli everywhere I go today I’m seeing Tampa jerseys hats and bumper stickers! Madness!
It is a travesty James G I live with the pain everyday. I had to isolate myself from all radio, tv and social media after the Rangers lost the ECF to this bush league franchise. Listening to their pompous praise of themselves made me sick!

Nice article Carp! Any chance of seeing that article on the behind the scenes guys or is that a no go?
HAWKS WIN! Wild loses. Hawks best in the west.
Speaking of Black Hawks…
This day in hockey history, March 14th 1933, the Chicago Black Hawks Lost 1-0 to the Boston Bruins even though they scored twice.
How was this possible? Boston was awarded the victory in 1933 when Chicago coach Tommy Gorman was ejected for hollering at the referee and the Chicago players refused to return to the ice as a result.The referee placed the puck at center ice with the score tied 2-2, then Cooney Weiland took the puck and fired it into the empty Chicago goal and the game was forfeited 1-0 to Boston.

What if Weiland had missed the net? Icing and 10 billion face-offs in your own end until Kingdom Come?
When did they put the big Indian head on the sweater?
Good morning, boneheads!
Nice schedule. Back to back, 4 days off, another back to back. What is this, NCAA hockey schedule?
Probably good for Raanta since Hellberg is unlikely to play any time soon.
Sorry…I played a drinking game where I took a shot every time Joe mentioned that Jon Cooper is simply a winner at every level he’s coached at, and just woke up.
Maybe this schedule rhythm will see Vesey spark up. (Door opens for Hayes wisecracks.)
I hear Hayes requested a trade to the Avalanche. Why would he want that? He would gain those 21 lbs. back in about a month!
Sauer Update??
yes.
Rangers are tied for second in the NHL with 225 goals scored. But they never finish.
and that’s with a lousy PP, and with Nash, Topo and especially Stepan having lousy goal-scoring years and Zibanejad missing eight-nine weeks.
Sauer Outlook
Who is best equipped to knock-off Ovie and the Caps in a 1st round match-up?
-November Cup Champs
-Leaves
-Squirrely Bowman
While we wait for a game
Chris Kreider’s Goalie Run-Ins…
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AKIGUQq9RDQ
So Kreider continues to pay the Price for that hit.
I think the Islanders would give the craps a hard time.
Craps are big time chokers. Any number of teams can take them off their game esp with that goalie
.
Ovie sucks
I wanna see Leaves vs Craps… Leaves making postseason for the first time in like 100 years will have Canada going mad! Let them eat Ovi alive!
But I’ll be honest, if the Rangers are out, I will be rooting for Ovi to win the cup.
So, you’re egging Ovi on? No yolk?
The Great Egg.
Very banal crowd here. Maximo.
Hard to eggagerate Ovi’s hardboiled enthusiasm.
His game is kind of scrambled, but he’s not just a shell of himself. It’s like, what came first … ?
I think the sens give anyone a tough time including caps. Also, I think pens and mtl could definitely give caps issues.
Rangers at Sabres in Flushing next January:
So Fish Tanks, Senators, Leaves could give Capitals trouble, but Rangers are one and done? OK.
This is awesome: Most polite fight ever. And mic’d up:
Sean Avery was the most polite player in the NHL.
and in fashion.
Old Mrs. Dillion: “That’s my boy!”
Dillion? And teh i’s have it
Is howlings.net closed. I get access denied for it.
This was a site that covered the pack.
That was Mitch Beck, right? … I’m not sure, but I don’t think he does that anymore.
Yes, that was Mitch Beck’s site. I used to see Facebook mentions for new content, but I don’t remember who posted it and I don’t think Mitch was doing much, if any, of the writing.
Wow, just wow
Other than for a meteor, which way will you guys root in Flyers-Penguns tonight?
would want the pens to help us stay in 4th
regarding howlings, I see Mitch has howlings twitter feed but the other site seems unreachable. twitter never mentioned anything about the site (links to it or the fact it may have gone away).
If at all possible I hope they both lose in regulation!
So Cerny inteerviewed Rupp today and they discussed the line-brawl game and Rupp applauded Bickel for being 1-for-1 in career faceoffs.
Bickel responded:
Stu Bickel!
I’d love to see Columbus jump to the top of the division. If Cindy is forced to play Ovi in round 1, you can bet they’ll change this asinine playoff format next year.
Crosby would rip Bettman a new one.
Nice reflexes.
Carp
Pens…and it isn’t even close
Flyers pouring it on the pens.
Flyers = useless
actually, no games matter the rest of the way if you really want the fourth spot in the Metro … and why in God’s name wouldn’t you? A nice .500 record the rest of the way (12 points in 12 games), or worse or marginally better, gets it done.
This day in hockey history, March 15th 1980, the New York Rangers defeated the Toronto Maple Leafs 8-4 at Maple Leaf Gardens with Carol Vadnais scoring the 10,000th goal in Rangers’ history.
