on another topic, if you're watching the maple leaf game, you're seeing why ryan hollweg is an ex-ranger. he hit someone from behind with the leafs up 3-0. that drew a five-minute power play and the Blues score twice to tie it up.

Cherepanov Tragedy
Ranger draftee Alexei Cherepanov tragically died during his club's game in Russia tonight, according to various sources confirmed by an announcement by the Rangers. Initial unconfirmed reports say that the collision took place during a shift change with former Ranger Jaromir Jagr, who was distraught as his young protege collapsed and went into cardiac arrest. But Omsk coach Reg Fleming told TSN.ca that Cherepanov collapsed on the bench and that he could not connect it to any specific event that happened during the game. Problems getting an ambulance and working defibrillator appear to have contributed to the problem. Our deepest sympathies to the young man's family, friends, and teammates.

UPDATE: Just spoke to a Russian TV journalist here at the Garden and was told that from back home, as far he has heard, Cherepanov did in fact collide with a teammate, but that it wasn't Jagr -- Jagr was however sitting next to Cherepanov on the bench when he collapsed.
UPDATE [8:00]: Jagr spoke to the Rangers by phone and said that there was no collision on which Cherepanov was hurt. He said he and Cherepanov had just come off the ice after an unsuccessful two on one and were on the bench talking when he just collapsed. He was at one point revived and was aware of his surroundings, but when the defibrillator was brought in, its batter was dead, according a Russian reporter.

When they square off with the Buffalo Sabres at Madison Square Garden tonight, the Rangers will look to accomplish something that no other Blueshirts squad has done in the long history of the organization -- start a season with six consecutive victories.
Having won five straight games since the first drop of the puck in Prague against the Tampa Bay Lightning on Oct. 4, the Rangers equaled the best start in franchise history with an impressive 4-1 victory over the New Jersey Devils on Monday evening at MSG. With that win, the Blueshirts now have recorded a pair of victories in Prague, two at The Garden, and one on the road, cumulatively outscoring the opposition 16-8 along the way.
Center Brandon Dubinsky is tied for Rangers' scoring lead with three goals and seven points in the first five games. His co-leader is linemate Aaron Voros.
“We haven’t been perfect, even though our record is perfect, so we have to remember how we got ourselves here with all the hard work,” said goaltender Henrik Lundqvist, who has surrendered just five goals in his first four starts this season. “To start off the season like this is a good feeling; and right now we are just going to try and make this go as far as possible.”
The Rangers, who allowed the fifth-fewest goals in the National Hockey League last season, are once again playing stifling defense in 1008-09, and that certainly has been the backbone to the club’s successful start to the season.
In addition, the Rangers’ specialty teams have been dominant, as the club has yet to allow a power play goal in 21 times shorthanded, and its own power play has notched five goals with the man advantage, several of which have been game-changing, or game-deciding, scores.
“Both units have been excellent, and that’s a credit to Perry (Pearn), who knows what I like to see in both cases,” Rangers head coach Tom Renney said, referring to his assistant, who is in charge of running the special teams. “We have personnel that badly wants to execute what we think will work. And you have to pay a price, and certainly the guys are doing that right now.”
What has also stood out in the season’s first five games is the club’s tremendous overall work ethic and commitment, which has been obvious not only during special-teams play, but in even-strength battles, as well. During a summer of sweeping change for the Rangers organization, that is the one area Renney hoped to see most from his club this year.
“I think our guys recognize that it’s a very special year for lots of reasons,” said Renney. “We don’t have some very good players here with us anymore, and some good men that are not with us. And I think those in our leadership group have really decided they have to step up and respond accordingly.”
Long before the club headed to Europe to begin the new season, the Rangers head coach saw something special in his core group of players.
“Guys like Chris (Drury) and Scotty (Gomez) were here in very early September, with Henrik shortly after that, and all of a sudden there’s this congregation of contract players here by the 7th or 8th of September working their butts off every single day on the ice, off the ice (prior to the start of training camp), with their commitment to being in great shape and having a great attitude, and that takes on a life of its own,” said Renney.
Lundqvist does not disagree with his coach, but he also believes that the newcomers to the team deserve a lot of credit for the Rangers’ early success, too.
“We have a lot of new guys, who obviously want to show that they’re the right man for the job, and they want to keep their spot, and they have to work hard to do that,” noted Lundqvist. “And then you have all of the young guys who feel more responsible for what’s going on out there this year.”
Standing in the way of the current Rangers squad’s spot in the record books is a Buffalo Sabres team that has played very stingy defense in winning its first two matches of the season. The Sabres, backstopped by Ryan Miller, beat the Canadiens 2-1 in a shootout last Friday night, and then blitzed the Islanders 7-1 with Patrick Lalime in goal on Monday on Long Island.
Miller likely will start against the Rangers tonight; and he will be looking for some payback after dropping all four starts against the Blueshirts last season, while accumulating a very high 3.68 goals against average in those contests. Of course, it was the Rangers who sought retribution against Miller and his Buffalo teammates a year ago after the Sabres had bounced the Blueshirts from the playoffs in the spring of 2007.
The Rangers will need to be aware of Buffalo winger Thomas Vanek tonight. The talented Vanek has started quickly this season with two goals and five points in the first two games. However the Rangers will catch a break, because the Sabres will play without three of their centermen -- Jochen Hecht, Tim Connolly, and Paul Gaustad -- who are all nursing injuries.
“We’re focused on that first period of the Buffalo game, not on setting any records,” stated center Brandon Dubinsky. “We’re going to treat every game like it’s important.”
After the Blueshirts host Buffalo on Wednesday, they will welcome the Toronto Maple Leafs into MSG on Friday night, the front end of back-to-back weekend matches that concludes with a tilt against the Red Wings in Detroit on Saturday.

blah blah blah
sorry folks but the streak ends tonight .hahahahha
i just have one question . you guys have kalinin , is he playing alot and if so do you hate him yet for turning the puck over on a consistent basis ? goodluck with him .
i hope its a good game tonight with my Sabs coming out on top of course but i guess id like to see more than anuthing how my team stacks up to the best team in the nhl so far.
in the 2nd, he was playing the puck along the boards and got hit by a buffalo player. mara didn't like the hit so he immediately dropped his gloves and started pummeling the guy. automatic 5 minute major/game misconduct. the other guy didn't drop his gloves, so it gave buffalo a 5 minute power play where they scored their 2nd goal.

I'm no Ranger fan, but that was Mara's revenge, and well deserved.
Last time Kaleta hit him was a bit of a blindside - broke some facial bones, required surgery...
Didn't cost you the game, but it didn't help.
Can't win 'em all. You gotta play Detroit on Saturday, isn't it? Two pts Friday though
can't wait for friday. going to my first game of the season & it should be an easy two points.
detroit on saturday. it will be interesting to see how renney handles lundqvist and valiquette in back to back games again. the smart move would be to rest lundqvist for saturday.

Agreed, play the B-squad on Friday. Detroit's been iffy so far, IMO, but why take chances...

it was Keleata ... mara didnt even give him a chance to drop his stick ....
Lets hope we can bounce back tonight after our first loss , in another original 6 matchup , plus the Laffs are without Mr Sundin .

what the hell was mara thinking?
good to see prucha out there. wish he was able to finish a few of those plays in the 3rd.
in the 2nd, he was playing the puck along the boards and got hit by a buffalo player. mara didn't like the hit so he immediately dropped his gloves and started pummeling the guy. automatic 5 minute major/game misconduct. the other guy didn't drop his gloves, so it gave buffalo a 5 minute power play where they scored their 2nd goal.
Last time Kaleta hit him was a bit of a blindside - broke some facial bones, required surgery...
yeah, i am actually reading up on it more, i didn't realize that was kaleta that fractured a bone in mara's face last year.
well deserved, but def. cost the team in a tie game w/ more than half a game to play. he would have had opportunities for revenge later in the game.
Can't win 'em all. You gotta play Detroit on Saturday, isn't it? Two pts Friday though
