Rangers (10-8-2) vs Stars (11-7-2), 7 pm start, TV-MSG
The Rangers will play 4 games this week, including back to back Friday and Saturday.
Zuccarello remains out, and instead of recalling Vinny Letierri back they recalled Steven Fogarty. Fogarty, who is a natural center, is playing on the wing, those allowing Andersson to remain at center. Fogarty, who played one game in NY last season, is tied for first in goals (7) and second in points (14) in 20 games with the Wolf Pack this season.
Projected lineup:
Namestnikov-Zibanejad-Fast
Kreider-Hayes-Chytil
Vesey-Howden-Strome
McLeod-Andersson-Fogarty
Smith-DeAngelo
Staal-Pionk
Claesson-Shattenkirk
Skjei prucha’d

1st?
Skjei is Zucced. My gut tells me Zucc is being held out because trade is close.
Sizeable fourth line
Seems that Shay is on notice.
Beat Wide needs to stop being beat wide!
Beat N. and Beat N. Good.
or zucc has a groin problem which can take a while to heal.
Shaise-lounge!
First groin problem for Zucc since DelZaster and Hagelin left.
A Hobbit with a bad groin can be invisible!
Rangers defensemen need to make sure they cover tightly alexander radulov because he burned the islanders the other night.

Linesmen with the best body check of the game.
Namestnikov elbowed in the face….. play on.
Let’s Go Rangers!

Dive!!!!!!

Ben Bishop is getting the start tonight for Dallas, a back-to-back for him. Why you ask? Stars coach Jim Montgomery pointed to Bishop’s career numbers against the Rangers – 10-2-0 with a 1.94 GAA, .931 SV% and 2 shutouts.
I want to deliver a fist to comeau’s face.
Oy vey its 522 all over again 🙁
typical ranger’s game, lundqvist needs to stand on his head for the rangers to have a shot at 2 points. Luckily the stars have been missing the net on good opportunities.
Rangers making self-inflicting problems…
New York Rangers- Please forgive our appearance. We’ll have the best record in the NHL while we’re rebuilding.

Kind of senseless, chaotic period so far…
Knock-knock?
Bummer can’t stream the game so far ugh.
minx 🙁
Sucks beezle 522 the ultimate screw!
well, this is the period the stars blitzed the islanders yesterday. Lets see how the rangers fair.
🤦♂️
It’s official. Lundqvist will go a full calendar year without a shutout…..
These guys suck tonight….. no way to sugar coat it.
Staal is a suction machine.
Was not a pp goal. But bad anyway, and here is another PP. The shadow of defeat is written all over the ice in this helpless game.
This game is ridiculous. The reds haven’t helped but the last two are fully on the Rangers. This is pathetic.
*refs
The worse they play, the more SalmonJoe praise them.
Plenty of time.
Their puck control is atrocious and they should start being ashamed of their shot selection.
The only positive of 522 is it blocks SalmonJoe
Reds are coming. Misspoke by Freud.
Vesey does it!
Ovechkin GOAL!!!!
WOW. What a goal!! Jambayahtzee
Bishop is solved? Check or mat.
Holy crap! What a goal by Vesey! Taking a page outta Howden’s book.
Sam said “Jimmy’s got his juices flowing” 🙂
The Rangers puck control is simply awful tonight.
Ok period?
Minx! I got audio! Found an old walkman with FM and after 15 minutes found a 3.5mm->rca connector to get one channel into my stereo.. And 522 has changed to 403, progress!
The Radulov Greg Louganis act has continued even though he left Montreal. And that idiot ref fell for it.
What a garbage game. One of those “every single Ranger will either overskate the puck or pass to nobody” specials.
That goal by Vesey though. He’s missed 20 point blank chances this season, then gets one falling down on a no look backhand. What a universe we live in.
First heard Stromboli’s name with 2 minutes to go in the 2nd.
TYM – I can’t stand Radulov.
wow! Bishop out, opens the door for the rangers, can they take advantage.
Rangers just need a good 17 minutes
It’s easy to beat Bishop. He can only move diagonally…
Tommy, they could put a giant bishop chess piece in there, and we’d be blowing passes and falling down before getting a shot off.
Matt Calamia put it perfectly before the game. Loves what Fast brings to the team, but enough with putting him in the top 6. Even with injuries.
Minx its back!
That elbow mark on Names face is growing on me. And him.
Take the shot!
Unfreakinstoppable!!!!
Cheadle!! Jambayahtzee!
Ahhhhahaha they’re coming In bunches
Keep shooting boys!!!
Anyone know why bishop not thwre? Valley spent his segment explain how score again st him and he is gone in the 3rd
Chytil giving Hayes pointers on the bench.
Petterson who?
Oh gee I need to proofread before I hit post comment
Now don’t sit on it, Fonzie.
Don Cheatl’s new name = Roy
Time to take advantage of a tired team…
Rangers got to keep the pressure going, Stars starting to look tired, need that 3rd goal.
They really need to score a third. Here’s looking at you Captain Kirk
LBI sis
Too little time in their end…
When I get to see Rangers games, Tony, Tone, and Toni (T3) looks pretty good out there.
Pass prevent time…🙄
Y the icing Shatty?
They’ve been watching video on the Rangers ends of games obviously, pulling the goalie early
Throw ’em the Chytil Ricky!
We’ve entered the nail biting zone.
Had no idea Disco Stu was a coach in Dallas.
Chinese Fireplace lit!
WIN!
Fast suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucks
Love this Team!
I miss Michael Grabner.
That was fantastic defense and coverage at the end there. Well-deserved win.
Stick salute, Mama!
Schwing!
The Untouchable Jesper Fast.
And the wins keep rolling in.
We win again!
Hank
Roy
VC
That’s a big 19 year old
I personally feel like they got it together after Vesey’s Ovechgoal…. Then took over in the 3rd against a tired Dallas team. Still have to learn killer instinct, but you have to love the way this team keeps finding a way. I thought for sure after that garbage start, they were doomed… But this team continues to shut me up… and I love it.
We want the cup
We want the cup
We want the cup
Seems our sexy boys really miss zucc
PigOink with 25+ mins again
7 point lead on the Penguins!
We don’t need no stinking Zucc!
This is a fun team to root for. Man do they play hard.
Quinn = teen whisperer
Pee Oink and Tony D are the real deal
Toronto Beating CBJ. Rangers 2 points out of 1st in Metro
You now they are buying in when you see Zibanejad play the way he played tonight. That may have been his best game as a Ranger.
Bulldog said hard
That game took a complete 180 in the 3rd. It just looked like one of those discombobulated snoozefests in the first two. Great 3rd period.
11-5-2 after the 0-3-0 start.
Enjoyed the hell out of this one. Max effort as it built.
Quinn actually coaching
AV uncoached
AV somewhere tonight blowing bubbles and grabbing at his crotch from behind.
Russell Brand could be the most annoying d-bag out there. What’s MSG thinking?
Extremely pleased with Quinn so far. Everyone’s buying in.
You said it, Headzo.
Isles gave devastating blow to Rangers, Dallas gave devastating blow to Isles, Rangers just blow Stars… Go figure. Chytil, as I predicted, will be exiting to watch in the years to come, already on the pace of 65 goals.
Lisa is a hard working Swedish Heavyload Horse. Name is excellent defensively, – took relay button from Nash (now need take some scoring too). Averish D’Angelo overcompensate size by good skating, quick thinking, dissent passes, taste for offence and certain feistiness. Hank is Hank. Veterans, “despised” Staal including, play solidly when needed, Claesson was a pleasant surprise and team as whole is relentless at forechecking and not too easy to play against. All other and others are variables like any other team. Something to build on and could surprise anyone this season.
Jesus that Trocheck injury is brutal. As bad as Alex Smith.
I am impressed..great win and Quinn is the leading candidate for the Jack Adams Family Award
Before tonight,
1-who had more hits JT, Untouchable, MC Zinbanejad
2-who had more blocks Untouchable, MC Zinbanejad, Toppo
John Giannone annoys me with his stupid questions in the locker room.
Why is Pidto’s sleeves rolled up? And why did he think we give a f/:( about the German Hockey League?
Quinn has a lot to do with this. Long road ahead, but good going so far. AV would be 5-16 at this point with no one learning anything.
wow! Just saw the Trocheck injury, brutal, skate got caught up in the ice, leg bent wrong way and looks like he snap his ankle, nasty.
“Hard work feels good” – Coach Quinn.
Love it!
I’m on board!
Fugg the rebuild!
AV’s salary at the end was almost double Q’s.
Quiz answers: 1- Zib 35, Fast/JT 34 ea 2- tie, all with 19
Pinto thinks it’s an archeological task..the 150… he prides himself on finding obscure minutia..and his sleeves rolled up schtick is old..
MSG just cut Hank’s interview half way in for a commercial lol
He get no respect!
Now can we please beat the azzdancers the night b4 Thanksgiving…please
I don’t want to be there the night he wears his London Fog with nothing underneath and flashes TroutWig.
Instead of the 150, they should have named it the Pidto File.
Rebuild or not rebuild, I really don’t care, my dear. Give me more game like that, win, fight, show character, win again, run for a playoff and I will totally satisfied by this season and love and support this team even more, if it only possible… DQ – for Adams! LGR!
Tonight’s game was made.more enjoyable by 4 Elysian Space Dust
IPAs
What a difference watching this current group from last March while they were playing under dead man walking juicy fruit
Pidto’s new gig with Quinn will be called ‘Stump and the Coach.’
A for effort in that 3rd..
Pidto Devito is going to have a growth spurt soon…isn’t he?
Chytil’s emergence directly coincides with Andersson coming up, and the threat of being replaced. And injuries opening up Top-Line icetime of course.
What a comeback from the sabes..
Smiles from Chytil and Names speaks to their newly gained confidence thanks to the Coach.
Solid defensive effort and they worked their butts off tonight ..:Quinn has them playing the right way..don’t see Claesson coming out of the lineup anytime soon
Zibinejad showing moxie
To get in the way of freight train Benn like that.
Quick plays. Working tail off. Not shying away even though injury history.
Maybe he can be a legit #1
Pig oink and Staal always matched up against teams first lines and a lot of PP and end of game 6on5s.
Been paying more attention since the garbage Shayna article about the possession and shots stats.
What second year player is tasked with the caliber of matchups they are facing. Not many I reckon. Hence the Rub with that charting.
The Shayna fanboys like Roger D will hear none of that over there.
They miss Zucc and Butch…
I only saw the 3rd (dreaded 522) but it was refreshing and a real nice win. I guess Hank isn’t finished just yet. My turkey will taste so much better after finally showing up and stomping the azzlanders! What a boost of confidence that would be?
