Ice Girls want Ranger called for slashing, spitting
BY GREG LOGAN

Hostile behavior is expected whenever the Islanders and Rangers clash in one of the NHL's fiercest rivalries, but now Islanders' Ice Girls are involved.
According to the two women, the Rangers should be penalized for slashing, spitting and verbal abuse during television timeouts in the first period of Tuesday night's game at Nassau Coliseum, won by the Islanders, 3-2, in a shootout.
During commercial breaks, teams of three Ice Girls clean loose ice known as "snow" in the goal and the blue-painted goaltender's crease in front of the goal line. But Rangers goaltender Henrik Lundqvist declined to move and used his stick to whack the squeegee Kelli Higgins was using to push the snow into a pile during the first TV timeout, knocking the butt end of the squeegee stick into her stomach.
"I said 'Excuse me' maybe two or three times," Higgins said Wednesday. "He didn't move and didn't say anything, so I gave up and went around him.
"The tip of my squeegee kind of hit the tip of his stick. I don't know if he thought I did that on purpose or whatever, but he took a big windup and slashed the squeegee pretty good. It startled me a little bit. It didn't feel great, but I wouldn't say I was injured or in a ton of pain. I was shocked."
The Ice Girls alternate jobs, and Chanel Benson had the squeegee during the second TV timeout. This time, a linesman told her to clean around Lundqvist but not in the crease or the net. As she was leaving the ice, Benson skated near the boards in front of both benches, which are separated only by a panel of glass located at the center red line.
"All of a sudden, my back got wet," said Benson, who was wearing a standard outfit of pants and halter top that leaves the midriff area exposed. "I believe one of the Rangers players who was sitting along the wall spit on my back. It had to be on purpose because I wasn't directly in front of anyone to spit and not realize I was there."
Two Ice Girls then notified Tim Beach, Islanders' vice president of game operations, that Benson was crying. Beach said he saw two or three small wet spots on the back of her pants. Benson already had wiped off her exposed back.
"I was disgusted and upset," Benson said. "That's why I started crying. All of a sudden, these grown men are hitting Kelli and spitting on me? It was unprofessional, and they shouldn't have done it. We're just there to do our job."
During the third TV timeout, both referees and one linesman made Lundqvist move to allow Higgins to shovel the snow out. Higgins said both Lundqvist and Rangers forward Sean Avery were using curse words "that had to do with us going around with the squeegee" in a heated exchange with the officials.
During the last two periods and the overtime, Lundqvist moved from his crease during stoppages, and there were no further incidents. The Rangers' goaltender told reporters Wednesday that he prefers to remain in the crease to maintain concentration during breaks.
When one of the referees told him to move during the second TV timeout, Lundqvist said, "For 65 games, I didn't move. But suddenly, I guess they changed the rule."
Told later Wednesday of the Ice Girls' allegations, a Rangers spokesman said Lundqvist was not available. NHL spokesman Frank Brown declined to discuss the account provided by officials to the league. Told of the Ice Girls' allegations, Brown said: "The National Hockey League expects responsible, professional conduct at all times from our on-ice personnel."
Those goalies are a strange bunch. Don't believe me? Play hockey. Somehow I think if Lundie took a wind up with a goal stick the way this story spells it out, it would have done a little more then just tickle her stomach. Goalie sticks aren't feather lite.
No wonder Lundie is doing so well. Danm snow stopping the pucks for him.
Maybe it wasn't spit on her back. It could have been some water from a bottle and the player was a split second late for the wet t-shirt sprinkling.You've changed your place in this world!0 -

How dare someone have the nerve to die in the midst of a playoff race? J/K! I was at a wedding on Saturday night during the Philly game and kept checking my cellphone to get the score. The groom was a huge Ranger fan and I think he was more excited when I told him the Rangers won the game then to get married!0 -

you're right about orr, i'd have thought that renney would have learned from feb. 17 when he didn't dress him. but it might be more about getting another guy to score such as prucha, especially when hollweg and avery can fight also.Reading 2004

Got ya. And of course what Jagr says goes. Not that I'm complaining. The guy better score 1 more though and get to 30. Would be a shame if he didn't.0 -
with all due respect to John Amirante, I think they should get Uncle Junior from The Sopranos to sing the anthems tonight- the NYR are unbeatable when Uncle Joon sings the anthem.
Only thing is , he'd have to sing " O ' Canada " also- and i dont think he could pull that off.
