Perfect shot as well. Jesus Christ give some credit for once. All u do is say how bad the other team played. I agree, most of the time we play like shit and don't deserve to win but this game wasn't one of them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9169155003164451698.post-43831245004610970342010-12-16T17:35:16.817-05:002010-12-16T17:35:16.817-05:00A couple of things:
First, like others, I sometim...A couple of things:<br /><br />First, like others, I sometimes find it difficult to deal with the "Debby Downer" approach here (the childish name-calling is probably the worst part). On the other hand, I can't claim to be even half the Rangers fan Scotty is -- I came to it only in high school, and I haven't lived in the NY area since I was 18. I'm lucky to get to one game a year when I'm home for the holidays (12/27!). What I love about this blog is the sheer depth of knowledge Scotty has. There is just no way I can follow all these developments, all the teams, all the players around the league, from Louisiana. (You guys hate Versus -- I thank my lucky stars for it, 'cause there sure as hell is no MSG network here.) That's why I come here on a daily basis. Scotty, I wish you'd lighten up a tiny bit, but I really do appreciate all the knowledge you bring to the table.<br /><br />On another note -- actually related to last night's game -- I don't think Roszival pushed Dupuis into Lundquist. I watched the replay closely last night and again this morning when ESPN actually showed highlights. They were touching, and Roszival might have been pushing a moment earlier, but it looked to me like Dupuis leaned away from Roszival and made incidental contact with Lundquist. Still a bad call by the refs, but I'm not sure we can blame Roszival. This time.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12614160690446971111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9169155003164451698.post-78582259825074038122010-12-16T15:26:14.991-05:002010-12-16T15:26:14.991-05:00Everyone needs to get off Scotty's back.

You'd be hard-pressed to find anyone who wants the Rangers to succeed more than Scotty. <br /><br />-PavelichAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9169155003164451698.post-27087734024321619182010-12-16T12:39:15.903-05:002010-12-16T12:39:15.903-05:00Here we go again...
Scotty, we don't believe ...Here we go again...<br /><br />Scotty, we don't believe the PR nonsense coming out of the Dolan machine either but look again to the Philadellphia flyers who were in last place for two-years in a row, one year came back - a team with our own record, nipped us on the shootout and went to the Cup finals. It happens right? Carolina won a Cup! Who knew during the regular season. Tampa Bay won a Cup. Who knew during the regular season.<br /><br />I think what people are getting angry at is that you have no belief structure -- especially having just beat two of the East's probable Cup finalists -- that this hard working, scrappy team (not individual players) might actually have a shot. Your analysis is always about how bad the OTHER team played as opposed to how hard working WE might have played --- that is what the fuss it all about when readers call your site negative.<br /><br />You're a good writer, Scotty -- we aren't sure that you're a Rangers fan, that's all. "Through thick & thin...you're always there. Like family."

As the Rangers were trying to hang on for dear life towards the end of the 1st I said to my bro we need to get out of this period tied at zero. no sooner did those words leave my mouth was Girardi getting abused and Malkin was scoring. The 2nd period was a much more even period and the 3rd period after the first 8 mins of back and forth was dominated by the Rangers. I believe this is the 9th win out of the last 13 games by the blueshirts. I personally think this team has a little something going but I'm a glass half full guy not empty. I mean we did just beat the Caps and Pens by a combined score of 11 to 1! Everyone is entitled to there own personal opinion. Scotty has his and if you don't like it, don't come read his blog. Its pretty simple. Rarely do Scotty and I agree on much but I know the man and he loves the Rangers almost as much as breathing. Heading to the garden tonight with my brother. I really hope to see a solid effort and more importantly a win from the blueshirts. Tonight's game could be a "trap" game with us just having played the Pens and with Philly on the horizon on Saturday. Hopefully not, LET'S GO RANGERS!Brother Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03135143828128853067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9169155003164451698.post-50045862225636321422010-12-16T09:21:20.702-05:002010-12-16T09:21:20.702-05:00BTW: The game was on VS. as well... thats likely w...BTW: The game was on VS. as well... thats likely why it wasnt being promoted heavily by MSG.

You are becoming an untrustworthy source these days due to your own negativity. The Rangers have beaten the Pens twice this year in stirring fashion, with clutch comebacks and a surprising ability to get off the deck when looking dead in the third period. Think about it--4 goals in the last 10 minutes of the game against a team we hate, and you are grouchy about it.<br /><br />If you covered the Ali-Foreman fight you'd call Ali's win boring or cheap, because you don't understand that sometimes competition requires the ability to absorb your opponent's punishment before you can win. Rangers have been quite adept at that this year, and last night was another outstanding rope-a-dope victory. Recognize it for what it is, or go find something else to do. You are a good hockey writer, but you are so damn cranky.....shut it down for awhile and recharge, man, you're obviously not enjoying something that is supposed to be fun in your life.mikenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9169155003164451698.post-5479327333169222012010-12-16T08:19:49.883-05:002010-12-16T08:19:49.883-05:00Hey I like Scotty's dark analysis if that'...Hey I like Scotty's dark analysis if that's what you want to call it. That's how I feel half the mornings after seeing a Ranger game.<br /><br />Like Scotty I too wrote this game off. How could the Rangers possibly beat the Caps 7 zip and come backa and beat the Pens the next game? It rarely happens. I even left when they were down 1 zip to go to my own game figuring it would end 3 zip, that's how poorly the Rangers were playing.<br /><br />Many of the newspaper blogs and especially the Rangers own site put a bow on all their analysis and sugar coat it like the way JD used to never say anything negative, like he was afraid to say something bad and get fired.<br /><br />Beyond that I'm really disappointed with MSG because this game was scheduled to air on Versus and they aired downhill skiing instead. I called cable and they said it's on channel 441 because of some conflict, so I couldn't see the game in high def. and missed the first 10 minutes. Versus blows and MSG is not far behind!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9169155003164451698.post-48576029639015183832010-12-16T08:05:38.145-05:002010-12-16T08:05:38.145-05:00For one, I wrote positive things after Sunday, whe...For one, I wrote positive things after Sunday, when the Rangers actually played a 60 minute game. For two, if you want to live in a dream world full of rainbows and unicorns, don't come here. I won't be deluded into believing this is anything more than another mediocre team the likes of which we've had for five years now. I don't believe the PR nonsense spouted on the broadcasts raving about average plays and players. I want the Rangers to be a team that can contend for the Stanley Cup. Nothing less. <br /><br />And that is the last time I am addressing you whiners complaining about my negativity.Scotty Hockeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18440672878311338910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9169155003164451698.post-55302477853453050552010-12-16T06:45:48.393-05:002010-12-16T06:45:48.393-05:00everything is always negative with this guyeverything is always negative with this guyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9169155003164451698.post-23565352405479851492010-12-16T01:00:13.819-05:002010-12-16T01:00:13.819-05:00Really?? after such a great win you cant post a ni...Really?? after such a great win you cant post a nice and positive write up?
