from the journal news blog:

From the MSG Training Center: Fedor Tyutin will indeed skate tonight after missing the last 16 games with a sprained MCL. We suspected this yesterday, and in today’s story on LoHud.com, but it’s official. Coach Tom Renney said Jason Strudwick will sit.

I asked Renney about what his forward combinations may look like and it appears Petr Prucha will return.

“I’ll make possibly a game-time decision, but I anticipate that Petr will probably go back in,” Renney said. “At who’s expense? I’m not sure yet.”

With that, it led to a question about the power play, which tossed up an 0-fer on Tuesday vs. the Islanders.

“We may toy around with a couple things on the back end,” Renney said. “It comes down to (playing) two units and trying to get pucks on the net.”

So I asked about Matt Cullen possibly getting some work at the point.

“There’s a possibility of that,” Renney said. “Matt’s got a good shot from the point and he can bring the puck up the ice too. I don’t mind him as a forward on the power play. When we’ve tried him on the point in the past, he’s had some tough luck with some shorties against him but that shouldn’t discourage me from using his assets on the point if I choose to.”

It is of note that Montreal has one of the best power plays in the league, so tonight isn’t the night to take dumb penalties. Les Blues are tied with San Jose for first in the NHL at 22.6%.

“Their specialty teams are good,” Renney said. “We have to make sure ours outwork theirs. Obviously, the fewer penalties we take the better for us. We’re a good team 5-on-5, so we want to play as much of the game under those circumstances as possible.”

Obviously, the coach hopes his team takes care of its own business tonight, rather than have to scoreboard watch.

“It’s sort of like the fourth game of a best-of-seven,” Renney said. “We have to nail this down and we have to do it properly. We’d like to do it ourselves and not get in through other mechanisms by someone else beating whomever. We’d like to do it on our own.”

******************************************************

A couple other items:
1. Henrik Lundqvist will not be disciplined for the incident with the Ice Girls. I e-mailed the league and was told the case is closed.
2. Steven Valiquette will serve as the backup. Obviously Hank is in net. (Again, no one asked.)
3. Marcel Hossa and Karel Rachunek remain on the comeback trail. Renney still isn’t sure about Hossa. He said there is a “remote” possibility he could play Saturday in Pittsburgh, but probably not until the playoffs. Rachunek skated yesterday and today but not with the team.
4. Brandon Dubinsky??? Renney said the team has been OK there (with there obviously being center) but that a return by Dubinsky is possible. “It’s certainly something we could entertain,” Renney said.

The question is, with Dubinsky at second-line center, what would the rest of the team look like? Straka to first-line LW? Hossa to third line? Or is it Avery to the third line to grind alongside Cullen? Or is it Hossa back alongside Jagr and Nylander and Straka on the second line?

Obviously, this would give the Rangers several different options. It’s definitely interesting. Tell me what you think…

i think we need to win.

i dont really care who is or isnt playing at this point ,
( OK- maybe i might scrutinize some of them, but im not the coach )

whats dreadfully obvious is that we need a " W " tonight- ( facing the penguins at the igloo for the final game ) and we need to stay far away from the penalty box.
Being this is the fianl home game of the season ( will be watching the " Blueshirts Off Their Back " ceremony and reminiscing ) i hope the MSG faithful will serve as the extra man on the ice. ( no doubt they will be and the place will be rocking )

Squeegee-Gate


The last time the Rangers visited the Nassau Mausoleum before Tuesday, Blueshirt Bulletin reader Scott Hollander was in attendance and noticed something "fishy" happening every time the ice girls came out to clean Henrik Lundqvist's crease. He snapped a couple of photos and sent them in

. Looked like a scene often seen at the Garden when the ice crew tries to clean the crease -- opposition goalies don't want the crease cleaned, so they stand in the way of the clean-up crew. At the Garden, I've never seen the crew try to interfere with a goalie who stays in the crease. Scott said the ice girls were in fact trying to interfere with Lundqvist, perhaps having been told to break his concentration, since Lundqvist uses TV timeouts to focus and visualize.

Well, it happened again the other night, with Lundqvist's stick and an ice girl's squeegee hooking up, and with linesmen and referees getting involved. The ice girls accused Lundqvist of getting too aggressive with one of them and an unnamed Ranger of spitting on one of them. The classless Islander organization, having already attempted to demonize the victim of Chris Simon's vicious slash in their baseless campaign to justify his heinous act, complained to the league about this new incident and want the Rangers to apologize to the ice girls. The league has dropped the matter. The Rangers have chosen to ignore this latest bush league ploy by a bush league franchise. Reports all over the place, primarily in Newsday (here, here, here, and here), as well as the Daily News and Blue Notes.

Back in the real world, the Rangers just have to win tonight in their final regular season home game vs. Montreal to clinch a playoff spot -- see the Journal News, Newsday, Times, Post, Record, and Blueshirts Blog, as well as Kenny Albert at MSG.com. Fedor Tyutin returns tonight (see Rangers Report) as does Petr Prucha (see Blueshirts Blog). Montreal continues to ride rookie goalie Jaroslav Halak (see the Gazette and Globe & Mail), and were bumped from their morning skate at the Garden by the circus (see the Globe & Mail, and more on the Habs from the Gazette). Newsday gives Sam Rosen grief for his unfortunate error. ESPN.com looks at impact trades made this season, which includes Sean Avery, and where coaches stand around the league, including Tom Renney.

With little else to do today, I've been reading all the comments on this Ice Girls thing, and its pretty ridiculous. She should never have been anywhere close to his crease, especially after he probably told her politely to fuck off.

will definitely be using the " Last Channel " button tonight- skipping back and forth during commercials to see all the outcomes,...

it would be so cool if both NYIs and NYRs could make the playoffs , but i'm not statistically gifted enough to paint that scenario out,...

Which of these Montreal players poses the biggest threat to the Rangers on Thursday night?

Jaroslav Halak

Saku Koivu

Sheldon Souray


we gotta watch both koivu and souray,

no penalties- which is where souray will hurt us with that cannon of a shot ,

and just pepper the shit out of halak .
