Oh well

1 point is better then none
& enough to propel us into sole posession of 1st place in the Atlantic.
Looks like Rucinsky broke his finger.
Why are we only called for these type of penalties? Hmmmm
When Jagr missed and Jokinen was up for his turn, it was easy to see the outcome.
Cant blame Weekes, he did pretty well .
The defense seems to be a little lost out there- boy I hope Kaspars groin heals up quick.
We did miss a physical presence out there, Floridas goons were trying to get at our forwards all night, with little or no retribution. No Orr, No Hollweg, maybe they can resurrect Dale Purinton.

Oh well.
Tomorrows another day, in Tampa Bay.

Rucinsky has a broken digit.
And so, they have called up Giroux.
( * wait till you get a load of this guys hairdo )

certainly thought we'd be seeing Immonen, but I guess he is more valuble to hartfords lineup then Giroux?

anyhow- new , young blood is still good to see in an unfortunate circumstance.

One so far, with one period to go. Maybe he'll tie tonight and break it on Monday.

Last three games haven't been on tv here..........wtf

One of the cspan channels switched to the friggin Knicks game the other night though .....whoopdeefriggindoo

I saw Deb Kaufman and thought finally!...but to my dismay....it turned out to be the knicabockahs.....pro basketball sucks

CaptainSpaz91 · March 2006

I will be there Monday too I hope he breaks it.

moster78 · March 2006

That goal that was rules a no-goal killed us. No momentum after that for almost 20 minutes. Also, time to try out some new shooters in the shootout. As much as a goal scoring machine that Jagr is, maybe someone else should get a shot, same with Nylander. Keep Sykora, he's got that deadly backhand. I'm thinking Prucha, and hell, Malik! j/k, sorta.

At least they're still in the third spot by virtue of head to head play with the Flyers. Buffalo looks like they've been on a bit of a slide lately, so maybe we can actually beat them this time. We're like 1-2 against them this season, I think.

Anyway, hope Jagr breaks the record while you guys are there. I'd like to see him do it on home ice too.

so true.
How long can they go without a shot on goal for Gods sake.
How is it that in each of the last 3 games, they jump outta the gates like superstars, then the second half of each of those games, it looked as if the third string was in the game.
WTF
Henrik really looked rusty the first period, he was leaving juicey rebounds, and that is so unlike him.
And does it seem to be that the refs put the whistles in their pockets when it comes to Ranger powerplay calls, and only are called against them ? I mean- how many crosschecks to the face and broken fingers do we need to go thru before they start calling things correctly.?
But by all means, give our guys 3 game suspensions,...
can we get some consistancey here ? what the fuck,...

And boy, again, the defensemen are looking tired as hell.They backed us up in our own zone for the majority of the 3rd period, so obvious ! Its hard to imagine the impact that a player like Kaspar has, until he's absent , then we are really feeling it . My god I hope his groin heals up quick. We need this guy in the lineup every game come playoff time .

I totally agree about the shootouts also- leave Sykoras quick hands in there, maybe let Prucha get in on it, maybe Straka, Hossa,Ward-- hell maybe even the new guy Giroux.

Honestly to me it looks more then rebounds he is battling to look around the defensemen, look at Knuble's deflections from the Philly game or Handzus's goal last in the period. But last nights game when Richards was shooting from the point there was little traffic in front and he was able to pick up the shots pretty easily. Also in the beginning he was fighting pucks not being able to hold on to them, and sometimes he looked like he was reacting last second.

As far as penalties, Hollweg yeah that was bad especially after seeing Umberger's face a day later on TV so 3 games fine. But, everytime the Rangers throw a good clean hit lately penalty espcecially Ward getting called for a charge in the first was a joke. But Poti as usually taking too many penalties I think it was 3 he got versus TB including a painfully obvious holding the stick in OT.

And I agree with both of you guys, different SO shooters. I'm not a real fan of Nylander's style coming in slow. Just look at how Brad Richards came down on Lundqvist, he came in fast and challenged him to make the first move. I'd like to see Moore, Prucha, and Rucchin be the first 3 shooters next time just see how it goes.

Oh well I just can't wait for Monday vs. Buffalo.

moster78 · March 2006

Alright, time to rebound tonight. The Sabres are in the middle of their longest losing streak of the season and the Rangers need to snap theirs. Hopefully Kaspar will be back in the lineup and provide some much needed defense. Here's to hoping Jagr has a two goal game as well. I'd want to see him break those records at home. To everyone going tonight, enjoy!

So the playoff atmosphere continues,...
This may likely be the very team we may face in Round 1.
Both of us placed in the 4 and 5 seeds,.
We need to start rolling and put some " W" s under our belt.
Every point is of utmost importance from here on in.

This year,..every game w/ Buff has been tighter then a clams ass. All 1 game differences, definitely defensive battles. The only game we were able to get the W was in a shootout. Clearly, no team dominated over the other, so its a toss up .

At least they are on a 5 game losing streak- but surely they will be hungry .They have the 5th best Offense in the league and 4th best PP.
Rucinsky being out frees up another roster spot,...along w/ Hollwegs final game on suspension. Hopefully, Orr will be in as enforcer .
King Henrik hasnt beaten Buffalo yet, so I wonder if we will see him, or Weekes in nets.

I'm chomping at the bit waiting for those Philly games. Hopefully we can distance ourselves in those 2 key games , starting next Tuesday - if we havent already fallen way too far behind.

Oh yeah- hat trick Jagr tonight- ( hopefully this will be a game he scores a hattrick and the team actually WINS the game,..)surpassing all the Ranger scoring records !

I say two goals and an assist, so he can break them all, but no hattrick, can't get too greedy!

I know, its just a matter of time before he breaks the records, I'd just rather he do it on home ice in front of the Garden Faithful, considering they have two games on the road after tonight.

i'm not being greedy with the records and all- its pretty obvious the record Graves has will be browkn . In fact, I have already said that it wasnt a question of if but when.
What I was playing the hatttrick on was that Jagr actually has 2 hat tricks this year- in games that we lost . The Philly game and also a game against the Islanders.
Thats all i was saying.
Hell, if he has 2, 3, or even 4 assists only, that will all be good too. Because that will mean that other people are scoring.

The defense is where we have been looking tired, unorganized , and weak.
Keep the traffic from in front of the goalie ( Henrik or Weekes ) , and use the boards to clear the puck - DO NOT pass the puck right up the middle, & we should be okay .
This team will be very hungry as they have lost 5 straight and what better team to start a revitalization then the NYR in the Worlds Most Famous Arena.

Lets win this one, boys !

Lets Go Rangers ! \_ -
