************************************
There is no excuse for the cowardly Garnet Exelby to have been targeted by the Rangers for his dangerous and unsportsmanlike play. After he and Steve McCarthy went hunting for Petr Prucha's head and knee, and after he jabbed Jaromir Jagr after a whistle, the Rangers -- Colton Orr, Ryan Hollweg, and Shanahan -- should have gone after Marian Hossa, Ilya Kovalchuk, or someone of that order. An idiot like Exelby will not be deterred if he's targeted -- he will only be deterred if the same caliber players he targets are targeted in return. That said, kudos to the Rangers for going after him anyway, for sticking up for their teammates, as they should.
There is no excuse for the type of hellacious officiating we saw tonight -- both ways. The Rangers gave up an early five on three goal on a pair of penalties that were not, by any interpretation of the rule book, new NHL or whatever, penalties. Fedor Tyutin was interfered with going for a puck and was called for a high stick while falling out of control, while two seconds earlier Dan Girardi's high stick was unseen and/or uncalled. And the non-call on Exelby headhunting Prucha -- many might say Exelby should be suspended for that, we say the referee should be suspended for not calling it.
Worst of all, the Thrashers scored a goal on an offsides that Stephen Walkom, NHL director of officiating, had the gall to tell Joe Micheletti was correctly uncalled because the guy had control of the puck while preceding it into the zone. Except that the very reason he was preceding the puck into the zone was because he had lost control! And Joe accepted the explanation even as the replay showed how wrong the call was. Sure, the Rangers were guilty of incredibly undisciplined play in allowing that goal to happen, as Joe pointed out correctly. But that still should have come to an end when the player put himself offsides.
Finally, despite it all, there is no excuse for Ranger fans to jump off the bandwagon so early in the season. The last two seasons proved, at both ends of the spectrum, exactly what this stage of the season means in the grand scheme of things. Some things obviously need to be improved on -- some of them dramatically. But a fan base who like to believe they are among the most knowledgeable in hockey surely knows that nothing was ever decided in mid-October, especially the fate of a successful coach who has not done a single thing that any GM in his right mind would consider fire-able. This is a season of high hopes, and that is what everyone will be judged on. But that will happen next spring, not this fall.

as mentioned in that excerpt from the Bulletin,
he ( Exelby ) was making numerous runs at Prucha in particular, then he was going out of his way to get to Jagr.
He even ( no matter how small or harmless may have seemed- the intent was there ) went after Jagr with a cheapshot crosscheck to the small of his back. This is precisely where Shanny said enough is enough and lost his mind ( rightfully so )
i'd recommend catching it all on the rewind- or on the Rangers in 60 which will be on this afternoon.

SATURDAY'S RANGERS-BRUINS START TIME CHANGED
10/19/2007
The Boston Bruins have announced that Saturday's game between the Bruins and Rangers has been moved to a new start time of 4 p.m. ET.
The game had originally been scheduled for Saturday night, but with the Red Sox also playing in Major League Baseball's postseason at Fenway Park, a decision was made to keep Boston's hockey and baseball games from taking place at the same time. The baseball game begins later in the evening at 8 p.m.
Saturday afternoon's game will be televised by MSG, and the local radio broadcast will be moved to Radio Disney (1560 AM).
i hope they keep dawes up a while.
Despite the sad resut of that most recent game,
He was absolutely flying and setting up big plays with jaromir on that 1st line. Then the wheels came off the cart, as we all know- but he was a good show that game.

Maybe, don't follow the Rangers that close, but everytime Excelby plays the Leafs he takes runs at players at least once a game.

I also agree with the comment about the officiating. Brutal. It was brutal in the Ottawa/Montreal game last night too.
I swear, these refs can't tell the difference between a hook and a dive.
you must have missed Shanny squaring off with Donald Brashear last year.
c'mon
he's got Irish bloodlines , ( as is half the team- if theyre not Czech odds are theyre Irish )
dont fucking piss this guy off.
