I’m sure we will have to hear for the 900th game in a row about how this is a desperate Islanders team and tonight is their “game 7” while the Rangers are…well..you get the point. Figured a fresh thread for a fresh airing of grievances. HAV at it!

Carp I’m not really surprised that that’s how the organization feels about the post season
I love how Brodeur, in his commercial, has to say “me….Marty Brodeur” because no one remembers him already.
Not saying Kreider has been bad but much more physical tonight
TAVARES IS THE ETHEL MERTZ OF THE NHL..ALWAYS 2nD FIDDLE
I wish Avery would wave his hands in front of Fatso when he’s driving that gas guzzling enterprise hog
Ethel Mertz 🙂
Street tuffs…they made me give them the armoire…
We would be well-advised to move some Islander stiffs out from in front of Auntie this period.
Need another PP goal…
Have score here.
No natural four-trick on drawing penalties for Nash.
Or Tavares for taking them.
Dumb play by The Isles weatherman Brick Nelson..
BRICK MY SWEET BRICK
Skjei is brutal, just brutal when it comes to the defensive side of his game.
Atrocious turnover skeji
Hopefully we don’t get the nightly pp goal scored on us tonight.
Shay’s been doing that lately with the weak ‘pass.’
Will someone please shoot the puck on the power play..this isn’t pretty school where everyone has to touch the toy
All hope is lost apparently.
Mother hartnelling hartnell fug
Plenty of time…
And there it is…The Baby Bird..
Vomit
Again it’s about a key pp goal we don’t convert they get a bounce.
Wow. 2 Islander skates. Ugh.
He KICKED IT IN! He KICKED IT IN!
this is why I feel rangers will not advance past the 1st round, there PK stinks, when there defense is pressured there a turnover machine.
Sjkekjie must have gotten into Hayes’s stash
He TOE’D IT IN! He TOE’D IT IN!
Toronto and Boston must be furious with us letting these uttar back in the game..this game should be in our pockets unfortunately we shop at Robert Halls
The effects of last night’s tough OT game and the FishTanks resting is now coming into play. FishTanks have no excuse to lose this game.
Pp and pk make us a 1st rd exit.
He HEELED IT IN! He HEELED IT IN!
Our defense spent 4 summers interning at Entemanns..learning the art of the turnover…
Aaaaaaand the ledge reemerges.
Avery: “You execrable toad!”
Crosby: “What’d you call me?”
This name game kid is around the puck a lot…Mr Shirley Bassey
BO.bo Bo Bo Bill Lee A
Remember when we never gave up leads in the third period?
Does Stepan own a Mr Softee Truck
Maybe Brady should have taken the night off. And there’s the nightly PP goal allowed. Habs can’t wait to tee it up. Can’t spot everyone a goal each night and win.
How the hell does the ref miss a penalty like that? I saw that high stick from here in Florida!
When was that?
Remember Papa Johns?
It’s amazing how the refs all of a sudden go blind, nhl refs, worst in all of pro sports.
Rangers on heels now
like I said before game started, I would be happy with a point tonight.
She said log….
3, count them, three shots on goal this period
To cute…oh that’s right we’re at home
Remember when we used to not take penalties?
I’m tired and get thirsty…..
That stupid delay of game penalty. Grabner wasn’t even under much pressure. Damn it.
here we go, PK barf!!!! It was fun while it lasted for 3/4 of the game.
We are really doing our best to give this away..me must want the fourth wild card or something…oh wait..
Remember when we would get shorthanded goals?
Automatic..
Puke
And now I really really really want to barf
Ugh…
Best pk in the league…..is far from us.
Another lucky bounce….
this is why rangers WILL NOT go past 1st round and I don’t care who they play not to mention there defense is a turnover machine when teams put on the pressure.
What a waste. Now we have to break the Fishstick trap.
And McD with an injured mitt now too
Bruins are done. . Rangers are useless.
Thomas The Tank Engine would be proud…we are a really useful engine..steph is Sir TopemHat…
Still plenty of time.
Who’s coaching these special teams, Alfred E Neuman?
Andrew ladd is one of the only Ranger killers that never played for the Rangers.
I’m done. They are flat out awful. Changes come this summer.
FishSticks actually suck. Yet somehow are winning the game.
7 in a row at home….2 in a row overall to non-playoff teams…. Ugh…just…Ugh.
Remember ranger pp at 2-1 early 3rd
Our pk literally lost this game.
I am livid right now. Actually LIVID.
dear predictable rangers lose by 1
atta boy, ORF
Okay I’m going to have to burn the building down…
Special teams wins and loses close games like this one. Fishsticks are crap, yet they hung around long enough to cash in on the Rangers’ awful pk.
3 straight to the fish sticks….
how much ya pay zibby this offseason? nothing
Game’s not over…
Fishsticks wouldve buried that hayes chance…
After that empty net miss…this game is over.
I’m more excited to see what changes Gorton makes with this team in the off season than I am going into this years playoffs.
Hayes did the opposite on his empty net that Grabner did one his. Grabs overcompensated to the right, Hayes to the left.
The buttheads just pass too friggin much. Darn it!!!
Haze and Step LITERALLY cannot hit the broad side of a broad side.
Its ok if they lose… its a transitional year, anyway… right guys? 😉
Slatso I love your positive attitude! Say hi to Olga!
… And that was their chance.
Wow. Good shift.
THREE! Count ’em, THREE empty net misses! In one game! WTF??!!
It’s a transvestite year
I’M CUTE!!! I’M CUTE!!!!
SHE SAID I’M CUTE !!!!!
SHOOT THE DAMN PUCK ALREADY
Amazing just no finish.
They seriously need to shack these guys up in a hotel in Connecticut prior to home games. This is ridiculous.
The Rangers played their asses off… But no finish, exactly,
That would have been a goal.in Peru ..with their soccer nets
And that’s the gane.
Wtf!? Prior to that a penalty a Ranger was totally interfered with on a moving pick! These refs are horrible.
This is just painful
After this timeout watch them lose the faceoff.
Just too cute 3 to 4 passes on every offensive chance seemingly
They lose this faceoff and the game ends 9 seconds early.
Filth in the metro
I’m out! Niters all!
Isles should play lotto after tonight
They. Suck.
Blech.
chunks of feces
The beat goes on.
They have no shame. You cannot lose this game at home to Brooklyn. They should have a middle finger salute for the paying fans.
Milbury, positively giddy.
They’re gonna wind up closer to the second wild card spot than 3rd place in the division. They’ve lost enough. I don’t want to hear about us wanting to tank. We’re getting that first wild card spot almost regardless of what we do art this point. Win em all amd they still won’t move up. Have some damn pride. You outplayed them and still lost because you forgot how to put the puck in the net and shot your load in the first half of the season.
That Islanders team…what a powerhouse… shocked we even scored on them.
I figured they would lose this game and the sad part I didn’t think the islanders were anything great tonight.
Two games in a row Raanta was outplayed and the losses aren’t even his fault. At least next game Lundqvist would be in and we know he’ll be outplayed ahead of time. Maybe they’ll support him better than they’ve supported Raanta.
So there goes the win 2nd game aftwr loss of back to bac two losses by 2 devils and Icelanders by one goal 2 nights in a row.
Figured out how to win at home
Another game where we had every lead but the one that counts too.
like I have said a few times on here, this is a replay of last year, get off to a unbelievable start and slowly move towards mediocrity right into the playoffs.
As Washington asked when crossing the Delaware: “Did anyone pack the toilet paper?”
Is the ledge full again? I had to watch that abomination with a Flyer fan…very embarassing.
Islanders usually give up four, five goals a night too
Islanders habe won 7 of the last 8! Wtf?! That means they almost swept us last year too! One of these days the Rangers will learn how to defend themselves against the red headed stepchild of the New York family….
and now I am listening to TV Steve espouse how great the Rangers played tonight..c’mon don’t sell me last week’s fish..
*have
I don’t think the Flyers fan should be laughing given what they’ve done lately
The heads at MSG need to think of a way to close the place for the playoffs so the Rangers can play it all one the road or this is going to be the second postseason occupied by golf. Maybe a rat infestation?
Put Babu Bot in charge of Garden Catering…the place will close
Don’t worry gloom and doomers we are going on a road trip!
It’s highly possible they don’t win another game are home during the regular season. Only 3 games left there and 2 of them are against the pens.
Even if we do, it’ll be at least a month and a half between wins at home at the least.
If John G asks 1 more player ” Speak to how I say Speak to …all the time…”
They start losing on the road too, and it’s Katy bar the door. Let’s hear them attempt to rationalize that.
They should take Flounder’s brother’s car ROAD TRIP!!!! OTIS LOVES US!!!!
You can be negative about this team. You can be positive about this team. That is your right. The bottom line tho, if they don’t start playing better… then, as they say, one and done.
WHY FLOUNDER?
WHY NOT
Who was the coach who said something like, “We can’t win at home, we can’t win on the road … I don’t know where else we can play.”
It’s funny that there’s a big deal made about losing 7 straight at home but no one ever praised them for winning 5 straight right before that.
must su ck being a season ticket holder..show up take lead lose game..repeat…
C3po, you only seem to creep around after the games lately. Lol
Gave up 2 PP goals again…. Arniel still got paid. I need a job like that where I can totally fail at and still get paid.
At least I can go to games down here and see the team I’m rooting for lose and not go home upset.
Evro
When you become a parent, you’ll understand.
That be Pat Williams
AV talkin about bouncy houses
I’m a Toys-R-Us kid and I’ll never grow up, c3.
I really hope the brooklyns miss out on the playoffs regardless of what we do…I already got 2 wishes with NJ and Philly missing out
Was this game on MSG also?
I’m sorry for your future wife, Evro 🙂
Well, I guess this time they are out of time
Rangers offense at home resembles a Good Housekeeping Seal Day Shift …PASS…PASS….PASS…PASS…PASS…PASS…PASS…PASS…PASS….PASS….PASS….PASS….PASS…PASS…PASS………
I think there isn’t really a home ice advantage at msg because it’s so damn quiet all the time. The rangers seem to have louder fan support in towns on the road where hockey doesn’t belong (Carolina, Florida, Arizona etc) than at msg.
Shut up, Wick. Out totally belongs down here. 😉
Woody Hayes: “Three things can happen when you pass, and two of them are bad.”
excellent point..suits on phones blah blah blah mobile strike…in de appp store
Why, c3? She’ll be a Toys-R-Us kid too.
I really hate the fishies, one of the 4 teams I just can’t stand.
Former NHL Star Anson Carter.

Ev
Sorry bro, no offence
would love to see Woody behind Rangers bench slapping helmets and shaking heads…Garden of Memes
And wick, it’s because diehard Ranger fans move out of town where they can afford season tickets AND a house.
I was messing with you wick. I know you didn’t mean any offense…like the Rangers.
would love to see Matthew Tkazchuk in Rangers White (not the blue )
Has any one addressed the D men lately while I’ve been absent? Who sits when all healthy? SkjeL is so bad in his own zone, he would be the logical choice to me, but AV doesn’t apparently care about D men playing D so who knows.
This loss has a number of repercussions for the playoffs. That number would be: zero.
No injuries, a fight for the fans, Hank coming back… on schedule.
I kept seeing Carl Sagan standing at the blue line … “billions upon billions of chances wasted”
Ev
LOL.
–
That staal mcdonut pair is terrible, that needs to go the way of the dodo.
Stephan Hawking couldn’t figure out our defensive lapses
Don’t these players understand that there are a few certain teams that the fans insist be beaten, especially at MSG? Or don’t they care? Sure, the Garden is full of suits who wander in with free ducats, but what in hell can even they get enthusiastic about? We need a couple of varmint disruptors who can also play the game.
Crosby does not deserve the Hart. It should be McDavid. If the pens lose Crysby they still have Malkin. If Edmonton loses McDavid they still have Adam Larsson.
Somehow I dozed off and woke up in a pile of
garbage.
Almost forgot….I voted hated, gnash, and know when to Holden…in no particular order
My DaVinci sleep isn’t working out.
If Stephen Hawking played D in his wheelchair and bit a few guys on the thighs in front of our net, he’d be a quick fan favorite.
Not going to survive the first round, regardless of opponent, when your PP and PK are awful and your top 3 centers can’t even get their shoot on net, no less score a goal.
Adams=torts
Vézina=bob
Calder=laine
Hart=??? (Too close to call now)
The Rangers have allowed a pp goal in 8, count ’em 8, straight games. Twice in the last 3 games that they allowed only one goal in, it was a pp goal. Any problems there?
I think you can survive with a not so great power play but ok needs to be better for sure.
Ok-pk
finns – I had a older (old) student auditing a college Creative Writing Course I taught and he turned in a paper about a guy who awakened in a pile of garbage at the dump and had no idea how he got there. I told him that his ‘story’ was very imaginative and he replied that it was all true and that the protagonist was he (him). Needless to say, it was just the beginning of an eerie and somewhat interesting semester.
And if that student was you, I apologize for bringing it up. 🙂

McC that student sounds like Rodney Dangerfield in that movie Back to School…must have been an interesting semester lol
Rodney: “I think I’m attracted to teachers. Yeah, I took out an English teacher. That didn’t work out at all. I sent her a love letter… She corrected it! “
Please, try to understand. I don’t have the background for this. I mean, the high school I went to, they asked a kid to prove the law of gravity, he threw the teacher out the window!
Nash has been playing like a beast for a while now but, and there’s a but, even though he’s scored in 2 straight games after not scoring in 9 straight, they were both in losses. In fact his last 4 goals were in losses and he hasn’t scored a goal in a winning game in almost a month amd a half and that game was against the absolute worst team in the league.
I’m absolutely loving watching him play but don’t those stats point to a player who’s as far from clutch as they come?
(on his second wife) Oh, we were doomed from the start. I’m an Earth sign. She’s a Water sign. Together, we made mud.
They had their moments tonight, but, they have a few every game. That’s their problem. Hopefully Hank doesn’t get back just in time for another slaughter in San Jose. And in a baseball diversion USA USA! USA!
It’s a hot night. The mind races. You think about your
knife; the only friend who hasn’t betrayed you, the only friend who won’t be
dead by sun up. Sleep tight, mates, in your quilted Chambray nightshirts
Rangers have lost 4 games now when leading after 2 periods. That’s the second most by any team this season. Also Raanta has lost the only 2 games in his career against the fish sticks, giving up 8 goals on 59 shots. Yuck.
If we signed Samuel Adams to a contract he’d forget how to make beer
of the 687 times I’ve had a clear view of the tv this season I saw the game 632 times…is anyone else sick of Vally’s made up nerd prom stats?
my biggest concern heading to bed tonight is if Caesar ever got his parking validated…
Why is he so obsessed with Ovaltine?
He just thinks that anything that dissolves in milk is funny.
Anyone watch the offsides discussion on nhl network just now? Some of that stuff is ridiculous and not common sense. I don’t have a problem with the rule and the challenge, but only if it’s used with common sense.
And funny how the two most controversial possible offsides goals were by the Blackhawks and both goals were counted. Hawks love much NHL?
One one Panarin had possession of the puck and was in the zone ahead of the puck. All fine so far. But he passes the puck while it’s still on the blueline so the puck enters the zone in no one’s possession and he should be offsides, right? Apparently wrong. The NHL Network just explained that Panarin can’t put himself offsides in that scenario. Why the f#ck not?! That’s ridiculous. So was the other goal they scored on an offsides but the Panarin one was the most obvious negation of common sense.
Rangers pretty much kicked the Tanks’ butts up and down the ice 5-on-5 tonight. Their penalty kill is dreadful, lucky goals or not. Their PP has scored a bit lately, but with a chance to pad 2-1 in the third, it didn’t produce a chance.
This game means zilch, as Norman said, but they better fix some things before April 12.
Of course, they will also have road-ice advantage for the first three rounds. And they will be playing teams more imperfect than themselves for the first two rounds.
Some huge, huge hits tonight, too, by the NYR — Kreider, Miller, Holden. And a lopsided fight win.
Soft.
If they finish ahead of the 2nd place and 3rd place teams in the Atlantic then they’ll have home ice advantage in the second round.
Oh wait. My bad. Just looked it up again. The wording didn’t make sense to me. Definitely no home ice advantage through the first three rounds.
Ev
i don’t think so. they’d be treated as 4th seed.

It’s offside! OFFSIDE!! Offsides is plural. Offside!!! Just saying…
Went to bed early last night game was 2-1 Rangers. I laid in bed thinking really no need to watch the 3rd it will be 3-2 isles in the morning. Well at least there will no dogs and cats living together Until they get elite talent they will never win a cup. Elite talent score big goals NYR not so much! I don’t care how meaningless this game was you don’t lose to this azzlander team at home. Sorry Carp one and done doesn’t matter who they play. The said thing is us fans obviously take the loses harder than they do. Embarrassing!
Good morning, ladies!
This is what it feels like losing to the homeless…

Brooks with a puff piece on Nash in today’s Compost. Nash says he has to score goals. Capt Obvious says yes, but you also have to be a complete player and set up a team mate every full moon cycle.
That was a great goal last night. Interesting as falling down he was unable to hit the logo.
