It’s Go Time!

Rangers vs Blackhawks. The game is televised on NBCSN, in case someone is BANJing on MSG.

Our boys are trying to win 7 in a row.

Looks like the same lineup, which means Carey and Smith are prucha’d.

LGR!!!!!

    Well a little push back, then the big folderoo. McD must me -3 or 4 tonight. The avalanche started by Mr. Softee.

    If Smith goes in he won’t be replacing either of the two worst D-men tonight.

  12. fivefinns Avatar

    27 and 18?

  13. Rick Carpiniello (@RickCarpiniello) Avatar

    McD only -1 because he was on the ice for the Nash goal.

    What’s the average time this season for an empty net goal scored on the Rangers after the goalie is pulled? 15 seconds maybe? You’d think they’d had enough time to watch other teams screw them last year 6 on 5 to be better at it.

  15. Rick Carpiniello (@RickCarpiniello) Avatar

    I’d say 27 and 22.

    As bad as that third period was defensively, NYR lost this game in the first 30 or so minutes when they had the puck and did nothing with it. And then when Lundqvist laid that rolling egg.

    Between the Rangers and the Giants, I’ve turned off more games this season before they’ve ended than in the entire decade that I’ve been down in Floriduh.

    If the Rangers could’ve scored another goal, they could’ve saved hank a loss, since this one probably deserves to be on the skaters in front of him.

    Well they had nothing in the 3rd tonight. Back to allowing 40 shots which is not a formula for success. And now it’s on to Columbus. Hopefully this was an aberration.

  28. cooscoos Avatar

    Add Hank’s softies to no crease clearing and we could lose ten in a row. SO OBVIOUS.

    I wish the Rangers had told me ahead of time that they’d only be playing the first two periods so I could’ve put as much effort into watching the last period as they did playing it.

  33. cooscoos Avatar

    This is a lazy, ill-coached team imo. When we forecheck and clear the crease, we can challenge anyone. Why not every night?

  34. cooscoos Avatar

    Not ALL lazy, but enough of them.

    I actually saw a different one, but I’ll check out the one Alex posted too.

    I wish the rangers would get “annoyed” like that occasionally and I’d take that kid on this team in a heartbeat

    Had a beer league game tonight. Took a penalty and the guy doing the clock said Rangers were up 1-0. By the time I left the lockerroom it was 3-1
    Got home in time to see last minute and the NBC Ranger-bashing which, based on the highlights, looked completly justified. Was that Doug Soetart who let the puck trickle in between his pads? He was wearing Hank’s new mask but . . .

    Looks like we’re back to “uncontested!”

    Does McDonough need to rest whatever injury he’s nursing?

    Saw Buchnevich let Anisimov go. Woof. Hello 4th line?

    very interesting thread tonight both Archbishop Stepinac and D 1c k Button mentioned

    Hey Hank – pick a helmet and wear it. Stop with the Hollywood stuff. And don’t give me the charity rigmarole. Hockey first.

    McDonagh was a good captain for six games. Not so much tonight 🙂

  47. fivefinns Avatar

    only 1 team out West has allowed more goals than us – Arizona.
    we have allowed 65 goals in 19 games..the same amount as Florida and Buffalo

    Mac is smart and gifted, no argument. I just need a lunatic around the room who throws clothes into running showers and stuffs people in garbage cans ala Big Buff and Nicky Fotiu. AV reminds me of Mother Teresa. My compliments to him, but I don’t want her running my hockey team.

    No Chytil for the Pack tonight again. Could he have gone back to the Czech Republic and not told anyone?

    For what it’s worth…and it isn’t much, Ive always thought in hockey it matters what kind of personality a captain has.

  52. cooscoos Avatar

    Chytil wandering alone around Hartford is a recipe for a good mugging.

  53. fivefinns Avatar

    we have played more home games already than any other East or West team..(13) we better be pretty pretty good on the road from here on out if we want in the playoffs

    Wow. Not a good score to come home to. Reviewing the goals: McD and Buch combine on the 2nd, Shatty falls asleep on the 3rd, Staal and McD give Anis. 2 whacks on the 4th (and McD tries to skate away with the puck before he has it). 5th, Lundqvist is too deep, Shatty gives up on the play, McD busts it but too late. Good to see the Rangers didn’t give up, but that was stinky pile of mistakes. Now to enjoy the comments I missed!

    Eh. They won 6 and lost 1. They played a good road game for 2 periods and then completely forgot how to play hockey in their own end for 6 or 7 minutes. Didn’t expect them to win 70 in a row so may as well move on. Hopefully they got it out of their system and can get back to business vs Columbus.

    Norm, Hank out and Pavs in on the 5th. Otherwise you nailed it…

    Highlights weren’t much to see, but the comments never disappoint. Loving that AV can’t get them to bring it every night. What a crap coach that he can’t get them to run off 82 wins in a row.

    Carp, totally agree that Hank laid an egg on the 1st goal, but I also agree with AV that he kept them in it when Chicago was pressing hard in the 2nd. The way the team came out in the 3rd was just way too reminiscent of the way they failed to defend in most of the first 10 games. I also think that the failure to capitalize on the 4 minute power play was the true game changer and not the crappy goal. But c’est la vie. Maybe this means we see Smith on Friday.

    Kampfer likely to pay the price for McD and Shatty’s lousy games. The way it goes when you’re a #7.

    Odd, don’t see a rangers coach must win 82 in a row or he sucks.

    Maybe someone in charge deleted the post because it sounds totally ridiculous.

    Good morning Boneheads! Hate watching the game DVR’d and missing out on all the fun. I believe all these fancy boy hackwagon passes refects the AV philosophy! 28 shots on goal when they easily could have had 40. Oh well I still say this team misses the playoffs. As bad as the D and forecheck can be at times the real issue is they are just not consistently strong enough in net!

    hank not controlling rebounds lead to two goals. I know, I know, not Hanks fault.
