The Blueshirts are back at MSG tonight in a rematch from last spring’s Eastern Conference Quarterfinals against the Habs. Both teams were blown out in ugly losses last night and will be looking to rebound.
Incase you missed it earlier, the coach is opting for 7 defensemen tonight with Rookie first-round draft pick Filip Chytil taking a seat in the press box.
In addition Henrik Lundqvist will be back between the pipes after getting scored on early and often last night and getting the hook after 20 minutes.
Newly acquired back up goalie Ondrej Pavelec was originally scheduled to make his debut with this being the second game of the back to back but I guess when your number one guy gets bombarded in game two of the season there are no safe bets.
If anyone is interested in doing a game review post in the comments tonight.
HAV at it…

I’m rethinking selling my winter classic tickets now.

New Broadway Hat is a Pimp Show where’s the ho’s?
My three stars: Bullwinkle, Three-Toes, and Mama Leone.
Dugauy got rid of the Hugh Hefner bathrobe tonight
Papa – The girls of the NHL channel. A giant e3 samvich
this locker room creeping around is embarrassing what douchebag thought this up? Now Dave Maloney looks like a home invader
I’m glad last night was the game I missed. LGR!!
Greg Tweetie Bird just went way back
Norm
Respectfully how can you give bullwinkle a star without giving his winger rocky one? 😉
If there was a 4th start I’d have gone with pyramid.
Five finns, the players are either ducking Maloney, or they’re all in the crapper.
Hank, JT, zika
Bird takes Miller out!? Now there’s a swing.
Am I the only one that thinks Steve matchett sounds exactly like samwell tarly?
E3, I’d tap a keg if you put a blond wig and fishnets on it
Natasha Fatale was my 4th star.
Papa – ever hit a maple tree? Sweet syrup drips from the tongue.
Norm
Oh, why didn’t you say that sooner, my apologies 😉
I was tapped by Skull and Bones. Rejected them.
Ken Rosenthal looks like a gayer pee wee Herman. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
E3…No. But I once hit a raccoon on a camping trip.
Norm – ever hear loons calling when you were a NH resident?
Trash panda
I love me loon calls.
E3 lmao re Rosenthal lmao
Five fins – every time I see Rosenthal I shout out “tequila”
1 in every 3X Back Up Steve talks I listen
Hoe Dell be done this year.
that gnat’s bow ties only highlight what a geek he is..probably got pounded at the bus stop every morning…seat’s taken…
You all are so cute…bet some of youse couldn’t even tap dance with nickels on your shoes…..
This is what I call a 10 minute game. (And I can’t believe that I’m the only one who’s seen this pattern). One team, usually one that’s on the second of a back to back and afraid of a fatigue factor, or a team that thinks they’re outmatched, or in some cases a team that’s not doing well, will come out hellzapoppin in the first period. They’re firing on all cylinders and dominating… until the 10 minute mark. The object is to get a lead, hopefully a couple of goals up and then hang on. If they don’t get the lead, they’re probably toast because as the saying goes they’ve shot their bolt (or maybe something more salacious). That’s what Montreal tried tonight, that’s why the Rangers looked like expletive undeleted for the first half of the first period. Watch for it, you’ll see the pattern.
Oh, and if Nash could just once in awhile lift the puck, he might have a Cup.
But his TD celebration in which he perfumed CPR on the ball was hysterical.
3 loon calls:
1-Here I am, over here.
2-Incoming loon, clear the runway.
3-€£%¥#!! EAGLE!!!
Rosenthals’s mail person is Reba..his cousin is Cowboy Curtis and his Mom is Miss Evonne
Ken Rosenthal interned with Delta Airlines. Galley boy.
E3 – Kelly gave me an instant you know what when I checked out her Instagram page you know what I’m sayin?
He’s not pretty at all. And that lil tie he wears is not manly.
Headzo – I do know what you’re sayin. I really do. Tappen Tappen though is my want.
My 3 stars were Goldfinger, Odd-Job and Jaws in no particular order.
Hank looked better today but when he handles the puck it’s a disaster in waiting.
I was caught last year tappin zee bridge.
Gold finger is a superb movie.
Norm – I asked you about loons….
It was…wasn’t jaws out of moonraker?
In Maine, many lakes are inhabited by loons. They make the most perfect calls. Mesmerizing!!!
And The Spy Who Loved Me, wick.
The movie Jaws was killer too. Moonraker was too over the top for me.
Early Bond was best.
Not so many loons, E3, down in southern NH where I was. Up north, though, all over the place. None here in Tacoma. Orcas got ‘me all.
**got ’em**
I once spent a night in a sheep meadow
Whale songs are cool too but difficult to hear unless it’s a national geographic special.
I saw a special the other day on the Black Mamba. That be one bad azz snake.
Oh good Adam gravey…..niters all! Mama love to all!
The Black Mamba….You talking about Kobe Bryant?
I bet ken Rosenthal has seen a lot of black mambas.
Those snakes are so venomous that if they just look at you, you have 20 minutes to live….
And White mambas too
the only loons I’ve encountered are my wife, Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert
They used to call Wilt Chamberlin Elephant Man
Wang weary wacky
Colbert is his stair a cull.
And I applaud Kimmel’s politics.
Wilt had three legs. On the free throw line he went tripod.
I wish there was still a Ground Round so I could throw my friggin peanut shells on the ground like a skell
I like the Sean Connery bonds a lot.
Sean C. Was the ultimate Bond.
Sean Connery spends his leisure hiking the Scottish highlands in a dress.
Eli’s floaters took out 2 of 3 today.
Just pathetic
Puss(y) galore
Eli starred in Hang ‘Em High today.
GMen need to make some changes.
Scaramanga – man with golden and 3 nips
Are they the deep throated Loons in NH?
That third nipple was freaky looking
Google loon calls. They’re hypnotic.
Why do men have nipples?
I’m wearing clamps.
Who’s Jimmy Kimmel?
Thank god Lundqvist is young and mentally strong again.
(:
Yo triple C
A step in the right direction tonight. They still needed vintage Hank and two waived off goals to beat a team that can’t score, but as AV says don’t critique a win. The best part was they didn’t really give up much on the 6 on 5 at the end. Sounds like AV wants to end the Chtyl experiment but Gorton wants to keep him until Fast can play.
This roster mngt is a horror show
My Three Stars: Sons of Sam (.44 caliber killer and Rosen’s boy), Freddy Mercury, Elvis.
3 games in and the roster decisions are already questionable at best.
80-2 ?
Yo triple Eddie…
Watched last nights game on a dodgy stream. After seeing the highlights today: Buchs pass to BigZ is soooo filthy.
Apparently,
