I tipped my cap to the 94' rags and was happy to see my ranger friends enjoy success. What would hockey be without the ranger/isles rivalry? I think we all want the team to stay- how awesome would another isles ranger playoffs be? Quite possible in the near future. Marion gaybrick had a nice breakaway goal tonite and one of the top 5 goaltenders in the world coughed up a hairball. <br /><br />And oh, don't be such a crybaby. we are all new Yorkers<br /><br /> in the end. <br /><br />JJ ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9169155003164451698.post-37821200197301317912011-10-15T18:14:58.842-04:002011-10-15T18:14:58.842-04:00Craig, I'm in London, had no time.

He was a dirty player for an overrated team. I'm glad you enjoyed watching the Rangers get bounced from the playoffs as that meant you kept watching after your atrocious group of has beens and never weres didn't make the postseason for the, what? Fourth straight season? Keep up the quality in that joke of a dump arena until the team moves to Quebec you loser.Scotty Hockeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18440672878311338910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9169155003164451698.post-64728688436362872192011-10-15T15:14:06.977-04:002011-10-15T15:14:06.977-04:00In response to Scotty's bagging the isles on P...In response to Scotty's bagging the isles on PB: <br /><br />Scotty hockey, “potvin sucks” is rooted in reality? I thought it was just an opinion of ranger fans…if I recall correctly dennis potvin had a distinguished career…he does have 4 rings after all. As for “the rangers suck” chant, that’s opinion as well, but probably more realistic- how many cups have the rags won?<br /><br />Oh and Scotty Hockey – one more thing, loved watching the rangers get bounced out of the playoffs by the caps last year- awesome ranger pain. your boy Lundqvist was stellar in that one.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9169155003164451698.post-42566614339165257102011-10-15T09:23:34.683-04:002011-10-15T09:23:34.683-04:00gameday after 1 week of layoff - where is the PEEP...gameday after 1 week of layoff - where is the PEEPIN FOES???Craignoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9169155003164451698.post-3377054618767949302011-10-14T08:53:57.351-04:002011-10-14T08:53:57.351-04:00It's kind of funny, because I remember thinkin...It's kind of funny, because I remember thinking at least once in each game that the Rangers were crashing the net and picking up the garbage in front and I was excited to see that type of energy. Then I realized that, supposedly this team is more talented than last year, so, maybe we should be seeing more finesse play than gritty hockey. And then I saw neither for the majority of the games, and remembered that I'm a Rangers fan. I really must lower my expectations.Petehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11475304953684560462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9169155003164451698.post-79996903357642878382011-10-10T03:29:31.011-04:002011-10-10T03:29:31.011-04:00Re: MZA

Back then he wanted to jump over the boards back into the game every second shift. Doesn’t matter that he’s a tiny kid when he got the wheels and he’s hard-nosed enough to stick in the NHL. That Chara hit was not a once in a lifetime situation for him – he can improve at all levels in his game. <br /><br />His biggest enemy is probably Torts. If the Rangers hasn’t scored within 5 minutes in the first period he starts to juggle the lines like a mad man. Didn’t everyone just play with everyone for at least 30 seconds in the game vs the Ducks (apart from Christy-Rupp-MZA) ?<br /><br />And btw what happened between the Slovakian Slacker and Getzlaf which had Getz going all-in into Hanson Brothers land?Joakimnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9169155003164451698.post-53245573565762538062011-10-09T16:08:22.520-04:002011-10-09T16:08:22.520-04:00Scotty, great work in keeping us posted on the sta...Scotty, great work in keeping us posted on the status of our heroes.The lame street media is the same BS.<br /><br />I thouhrt last year was boring, this one is worse.

You don't want to come across as an anti fan and get the enablers and the house boys riled up. <br /><br />Enjoy your stay in England.

My tolerance of Torts is wearing thin.<br /><br />I will hold out naive hope that the team is just wrecked from such a ridiculous preseason and opening schedule.

These two ...I totally agree with Svessien and Anon. These two games and the style the Rangers are playing is boring and dangerous. This team lacks cohesiveness. They don't have any flow to their game. Just more dump and chase bullshit.<br /><br />And how many teams in the NHL besides the Rangers go down to block slap shots as often as these dopes. They are not doing it because it's effective. They are doing it because they are not fast enough to get out to the point. But I guarantee we'll see one or two broken bones because of it.<br /><br />And it's high time Rangers defense goes back to Pee Wee school and re-learns that sliding on your belly to stop a rush is NOT an effective way to play defense. Add up how many times a Ranger goes down to block a shot or down to stop a rush and I bet they spend more time on their asses than on their skates.Dennisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9169155003164451698.post-35294269198342682292011-10-09T09:02:53.006-04:002011-10-09T09:02:53.006-04:00Turderella really is a disgrace.

He comes across as a rude one trick pony with no class. He is constantly confirming to the press who he is happy with and not, directly or indirectly, and that is stuff that should stay in the locker room. I bet he is at his "best" when he can create an atmosphere of fear around him, that enables him to rule. Fear, however, is the enemy of creativity. I don´t think I´ve ever watched a less creative team than the Rangers in their two games this weekend.<br />Tortorellas response is to continue to use the tool that didn´t work last season; breaking up the lines. So the players are not allowed to develop chemistry, they are not given any predictabiity, any frame wherein they can find a foothold for taking a step forward, and meanwhile they have to live with a sociopath selling them out to the press to avoid taking the due responsibility for the lack of team performance. Take Zuke as an example; he gets thrown around lines all the time. Yesterday he played with Rupp and Christy (say no more), getting 7 minutes on the ice. How can anyone expect him to put up a max performance under those circumstances anyway?<br />Take a look at a real manager, like Alex Ferguson of Man United for example. He succeeds by mostly doing the opposite of what Tortorella does.svessiennoreply@blogger.com
