    Messier awaits.
    Perhaps Leetch will join him on the bench and ice.

    That game was so boring it was like watching paint dry


    Does torts know he has 4 lines and not 2. Also can anyone on the rangers not give up the puck to gaborik. The highlight of the game was sim and avery talking smack and the fire sather chants. I can't even talk smack bout the rangers cause I actually feel bad for the fans.

    I knew they sucked going into the season. I didn't think they would go 11 periods without scoring on even strength though. Your Islanders have done a decent job so far considering the expectations.

    yup.
  • I think Tortorella's postgame press conference sums it up for us....


    On the first period being unacceptable: “Absolutely. I have no explanation for how we started. I wish I could give you one.”

    On the Islanders first goal being a “dirty” goal, one gotten simply by skating hard to the net: “That we don’t get. There’s horse*$)#@! coverage around the corners, he just brings it around the net. It’s a fluky goal. But we don’t get them.”

    What’s the remedy for the way the team started in the first period: “What is the remedy? I don’t know how you want me to answer that.”
    What do you think you need to do: “Play ^#(^&@ harder.”
    As the coach, what do you need to do: “That’ll be something we’ll decide before tomorrow’s game.”

    Is this group capable of figuring it out as constituted: “I’ll tell you right now, the thing that’s unacceptable about tonight’s game and we’re trying to stay positive around here, trying to work our way through it, but when we play like ^*^#@ like that for 20 minutes in a game like this in a back-to-back situation, it’s unacceptable. I’m not even going back as far as a month and are we capable. It’s simply unacceptable. There has to be something done and we’ll see along the way before tomorrow night’s game. We’ll see where we go with them. It’s just simply unacceptable how we started that game. I wish I could give you a ($@#*%# explanation about it. I can’t.

    would it really be that surpring though?

    people had the rangers finishing bottom 3 in the conference before the season even started. looks like that was an accurate prediction.

    things will get worse when lundqvist sits/rests before & after the olympics.
  • looks like redden and kotalik are healthy scratches tonight.

    I also read that Redden took the news of his being scratched rather....poorly.


    And in other news, this is from an email a co-worker sent out:

    Glen Sather's GM record since 1992-93

    Last eight seasons with Oilers (1992-93 through 1999-2000): Missed playoffs four times, won two playoff series (one in 1997, one in 1998). Edmonton's 234-303-89 regular-season record over that span was 23rd-best in the NHL.

    First 8 1/2 seasons with Rangers (2000-01 to date): Missed playoffs four times, won two playoff series (one in 2007, one in 2008). The Rangers' 313-286-90 regular-season record over that span ranks them 21st among the 30 NHL teams.

    Do you know what the following players have in common?

    Selmar Odelein, Scott Metcalfe, Kim Issel, Peter Soberlak, Francois Leroux, Jason Soules, Scott Allison, Tyler Wright, Joe Hulbig, Jason Arnott, Jason Bonsignore, Steve Kelly, Boyd Devereaux, Michel Riesen, Michael Henrich, Jani Rita.

    They were the Oilers' first picks in the last 16 drafts that Sather oversaw with Edmonton. Well, he did get one good player (Arnott) out of 16 years of top picks. The others were all complete busts.

    His yearly first picks with the Rangers: Filip Novak, Dan Blackburn, Lee Falardeau, Hugh Jessiman, Al Montoya, Marc Staal, Bobby Sanguinetti, the late Alexei Cherepanov, Michael Del Zotto, Chris Kreider.

    I saw that Redden was not thrilled. I wouldn't be either. I don't get the sense that he's the kind of player where something like this lights a fire.

    yeah, saw the interview with redden before the game. apparently when he saw he was scratched he stormed into torts' office and had it out.

    good for torts though. you know if that was renney he would have broken down and dressed him.
  • Bathgate66Bathgate66 Posts: 15,813
    Reporters said they had heard them ( Torts and Redden )
    screaming and yelling thru the thin walls of the Coliseum visitor lockerroom/offices area.


    A hockey matinee between us and Philly,
    right smack in the middle of a
    Saturday afternoon Blizzard.

    And two points. Nice way to start the weekend. Anisimov, Drury, and Callahan have stepped it up over the past week along with the King.

    figures after dubinsky ties it up with a millisecond to go in the game,

    okposo came thru for you bastards.

    that game was pretty tight throughout.

    1 question- do the refs not call anything if it involves # 16 on the Blueshirts ?

    they were mauling that guy all night ! no whistles !

    but they were only using 1 ref all night :roll: that will be the nhl's excuse.

    they mentioned during the game that callahan is 3rd in the league in hits? love it.

    there was 1 point in the game last night leading up to dubinskys 2nd goal,
    Where it was Dubinsky preaching in a huddled circle with Callahan and Del Zotto.
    Throw in Girardi , Gilroy, and Jessimen , I thought to myself the Hartford squad has evolved some great players lately,

    Last night was easily the worst performance I've seen at MSG in at least six years. What more can be said? At least they don't have time to stew over it, another game tonight.

    well deserved

    I was thinking that to bathy. I guess he hasn't put up the numbers or isn't what burke is looking for. But I can't believe KO of the islanders didn't make it. His toughness and leadership woulda been good for usa. I'm really glad ryan miller finally gets his time to shine.

    I suspect the time he was on the injured list for his broken hand
    left him either unavailable and or restricted for selection in some form .
    KO def wouldve been another nice addition.
    We all know DiPietro isnt a factor this time around, pretty sad for the franchise out there on long island .

    whew what a roller coaster of emotion.


    first, we dominate The Bruins ALL NIGHT minus the final 4 minutes.

    then we allow them to come back and tie it up.

    Then, with 1:29 remaining Higgins somehow stuffs one into the twine.

    the Rs were actually " physical " last night!
