New York Rangers

[tommyfnc420]

Love them or hate them, you have to admit, they are the hottest team in hockey right now. (since the trade deadline, at least...)
I like their chances in the playoffs if they keep playing this way.
Please discuss all of your likes/dislikes for Jagr, Hank, Shanny, Avery, etc...

[SoRight24]

Hate the Rangers.

Go Bruins.

That is all. ;)

[--Soma--]

NHL? Never heard of it...

[joepsu0985]

Keep riding your horse till its leg gets broken on saturday.

[tommyfnc420]

so glad i started this thread. little sidney better wear extra padding on saturday.

[Tomriddle]

Life long Ranger fan. Jagr is the shit on so many levels. As is King Henrik

[aeroshady]

I love the Rangers...but I don't want to jynx anything down the stretch haha. I just hope they get into the 6th seed. The way I see it:

Rangers vs. Buffalo = Buffalo sweeps in 4
Rangers vs. Devils = Devils win in 6
Rangers vs. Penguins = Rangers win in 6
Rangers vs. Atlanta = 7 games that could go either way
Rangers vs. Tampa Bay = Rangers in 5
Rangers lose every game for the rest of the season = F#$K

[boonie]

Season ticket holder for the last 9 seasons, of course the year i go off to college is the first year they look good going into the playoffs

[tommyfnc420]

the coach of the Devs just got fired...it will be interesting to see how that affects the team...or if it affects them, for that matter.

Hope you guys are enjoying Shanahan this season :thumbsup

He's def. one of my favorite players of all-time. he's a real class act and as tough as they come. I have many fond memories of his days in detroit and the cups he helped us win during the glory days (check signature). It was a sad day when the wings announced they wouldnt be signing him again but it was also something that just had to happen and I hope he's found a new beginning with you guys. Anyway, if the wings make an early exit this year which is very possible given recent history, I may find myself jumping on your bandwagon to support shanny.

[sir iggius]

Go Red Wings! :)

Go Red Wings! :)

They're my fav west coast team

Now we're talking! check out my sig. for some spectacular wings memories, particularly the first video. God, it gets me so pumped up everytime i watch it. Some of those fights were unbelievable.

my roots as a wings fan comes from my dad as well. he tells me stories all the time about the old days at olympia and about Gordie Howe and what not. Your dad sounds like a good man as well

West coast? Seen a map lately?

You are offically a dumbfuck

because its retarded. detroit is in the NHL west coast. Soma is retarded.

PS and his sig is not insulting at all. nor can i see how its meant to be

NHL western conference yes, west coast? not so much.

and I agree, I don't get his sig

[bdfresh62]

Go Rangers. I think they might be able to take Atlanta if they finish as the 6th seed.

[Tomriddle]

NHL western conference yes, west coast? not so much.

That's what you say. Any team in the Western Conference is "west coast," same thing for East.

[Tomriddle]

Go Rangers. I think they might be able to take Atlanta if they finish as the 6th seed.

I agree. If Jagr's hot, might even go a round further

[JeffDMB41PT]

for the most part its just splitting hairs but i think we can both agree that detroit is not on the West Coast. Trust me..I wish it was ha

I didn't think my post needed nearly this much analysis, it just seemed obvious to me. But last time I checked there were in fact teams in LA and San Jose. Why does this point need to be argued?

[s0628711]

I'm a die-hard, have loved them since I could remember. I was born into it.... I say our chances are good against Atlanta and Pittsburgh. Our chances against the Devils, let's admit it, Marty is Marty in the playoffs, come hell or high water. God knows I'll be pulling for the Blueshirts though.

[tommyfnc420]

BIG clincher tonight vs. the Isles. Let's hope they bury those Gaylanders.

I HATE THE RANGERS....and Sean Avery

LET'S GO DEVILS

[whiteysax]

your rangers pissed me off when you routed my Leafs on Sunday... fucking Avery...

i live with a die hard Rangers fan so I've watched their transition from the basement years to the younger competitive team of today and I've gained a ton of respect for them since their laughing stock of the early 2000s...

[tommyfnc420]

I love Avery...he plays the kind of hockey a New Yorker really appreciates

[s0628711]

Avery is a beast. I believe the team is 15-5-5 since acquiring him or something crazy like that.

[tommyfnc420]

Avery is a beast. I believe the team is 15-5-5 since acquiring him or something crazy like that.

Most people would say that one player can't make that much of a difference on a team...Avery is proving those people wrong right about now with his high energy play. He gets the team and the crowd fired up every night. IMO, he is exactly what the Blueshirts needed.

He really is. He's the catalyst and lifts everyone else around him.

I personally LOVE when Coach Renney starts the fourth line on the opening face-off. The crowd loves it, the other players get amped, and they play with so much passion and energy.

Avery is great. Again, I had a blast watching him when he was in Detroit. he stirs shit up on a nightly basis and he was banging elisha cuthbert at one time which is :thumbsup

[s0628711]

Gotta love his Gordie Howe hat trick against the Leafs too. :lol Guy's the man.

[tommyfnc420]

I believe he is still hitting that. :thumbsup

[whiteysax]

I believe he is still hitting that. :thumbsup
now i REALLY hate him!!! :lol:lol

[s0628711]

Clinch time tonight!

[tommyfnc420]

i think i jinxed them by starting this thread. oh well. one point to go.

[s0628711]

i think i jinxed them by starting this thread. oh well. one point to go.
:lol Yeah, well we'll see. We need one point with two to go, so I'm not worried. This would take a legit collapse after being so hot. I think coming off of such a tremendous weekend, yesterday was kinda one of those games.

[tommyfnc420]

Let's hope they don't finish the season like they did last year. I think we can also get in if the Leafs beat the Isles tomorrow. Not 100% sure though. Why is it every time we play a team who has some rookie goalie filling in for the all-star first stringer, he has the farking game of his LIFE?? unbelieveable. Can't stand that we didn't embarass the Isles last night at the Mosoleum.

[DmBand801]

"Marty Brodeur is a great actress" -Sean Avery

to go along with his acting is his: olympic gold medal, 3 stanley cup rings, and 2 vezinas (going on 3 after this year)

I don't know the tie-break situations currently, but I'm pretty sure we can't clinch because the Isle's have a game in hand. If they win out and the Lightning win out and we lose out, I think we're left out. Not positive though.

oh man. i'll be tremendously upset if they dont make the playoffs. all we need is one more point. i'm hoping for a huge beatdown on Monty tomorrow night. then maybe we can rest the big guns for the playoffs.

Ever since the new rules, all he has done is cry about how they are trying to take away from goalies and encourage scoring. The truth is, they are encouraging the refs to call the game the way it was designed to be called.



He is good though. I'll give you that, but I'd take a bullet for Richter before ever saying that I like Marty.

[Tomriddle]

Brodeur isn't bad, but he's not incredible either. Elias is the one objectively good player on the Devils IMO

...he is still on the Devils, right? I don't get hockey in NOLA :( :( :(

[s0628711]

Yes he is. He also has hepatitis :lol

Nothing to joke about, but he's a devil so it's okay. Personally, I think their best player is Gomez, who could be wearing a blue shirt next season.

[Tomriddle]

They are just encouraging a bunch of dip shits that can read a rule book but don't know what it takes to play the game. You can disagree with me but we'll go to some clown in Toronto watching the game on TV for the final say.

And by the way Richter was good at certain points of his career but Marty is the shit. Go Hawks!

[s0628711]

Clinched!!!!

Renney said "Now we're going for sixth place." I really hope so.

[Lude99]

Yeah, Brodeur isn't incredible :lol Give me a fucking break.

[Tomriddle]

He's not. He's not bad, but he's not incredible.

[Lude99]

He's not. He's not bad, but he's not incredible.

What makes a goalie incredible?

[joepsu0985]

The Pen's ending Jager's playoff hopes. The thought makes me giddy.

[JeffDMB41PT]

He's not. He's not bad, but he's not incredible.

Marty Brodeur is as incredible as they come. He has already had a fantastic career and I am willing to bet he will add another Stanley Cup to the list of his achievements before it is all said and done. He is consistently among the best if not the very best goalie in the league year after year not to mention one of the top five best to play the position period. To say that Marty Brodeur is anything short of amazing is just ridiculous. He deserves to be mentioned among Roy, Plante, and Sawchuck.

[Tomriddle]

The Pen's ending Jager's playoff hopes. The thought makes me giddy.

You should at least learn how to spell the guy's name.

What makes a goalie incredible?

Skill

[Lude99]

You should at least learn how to spell the guy's name.



Skill

I guess being 2nd in all-time wins and being on pace to break the record for all-time wins and shut-outs doesn't say much for his skill. Or his 3 Stanley Cup wins.

[Tomriddle]

No, that says a lot about the team he plays on ;)

[Lude99]

No, that says a lot about the team he plays on ;)

The Devils wouldn't be what they are today if it weren't for Marty Brodeur. Brodeur is an incredible goalie and if you can point out statistics that show otherwise, I'd like to see it.

[Tomriddle]

I haven't seen the stats. I've just got what I've personally seen of him, and he hasn't impressed me.

[aeroshady]

I haven't seen the stats. I've just got what I've personally seen of him, and he hasn't impressed me.

Look at the Devils when Marty is not in goal....that is all you need to see to show you the man is amazing.....damn Devils haha.

Rangers are in Baby!! now lets just try to avoid Marty and the Devils in the first round!

[s0628711]

Sixth seed!!! We're taking down the Thrashers!!

i just want to say i am a thrashers fan, and i cannot wait to watch this series. i was at the last matchup we had at philips a couple weeks ago that we won in overtime, and that was really a great game.


i know we won the season series 3-1, but the games really seemed close as hell. it should be a heck of a series.

go thrash.

Time to ride the diesel back of Lundqvist. I'm gonna be honest. Earlier in the season, I had my doubts and thought that he could have possibly just fluked last year, but the last three months have made me think the exact opposite.

I'm sure not too many other Ranger fans were thrilled when Lundqvist told Renney that he didn't feel comfortable between the pipes.

I'm really looking forward to this series and hockey in general for the next couple months. Hockey Playoffs just take it to a whole other level unlike other sports. It's like everything is just a step faster and every action is just more crucial.

[Tomriddle]

And your credibility as a hockey fan just went out the door. If he doesn't impress you then tell me who does?

I hope the Thrashers lose. Go Rangers.

hes better than Lundqvist too

[tommyfnc420]

so pumped

WOOOOooooOOOO!!!!! In the words of Johnny Drama....VICTORY!!!!!!! I am so happy!!!

Actually according to ESPN its been since 1997. So 10 years since our last playoff win.

I am so happy they won a playoffs game....I can't even describe it haha.

anyone else shit their drawers in the last 1:30 of the third period?

Tommy, as long as the puck doesn't go in, it's ok :)

I agree. (although, I got a bit of a chill at the last second when that puck went off the side of the net.)
Girardi was a little sloppy, but this was his first playoff game...as long as nothing cost us the game, I'm cool with it. :thumbsup
Starting Callahan was such a smart move...I'm liking the way this kid plays, and hustles more and more every game.
I am psyched as hell for tomorrow.

[s0628711]

These last minute penalties have got to go! Both games now, I've been sweating it with this 6 on 4 shit. The refs BLEW yesterday. Poorly officiated game, but this series is all but over.

I am so happy the Rangers are up 2-0, and I think they have a chance to sweep....however, Atlanta was by far the better team yesterday, so I would not go so far to say its all but over...they (Atlanta) probably should have won yesterday, NY will have to play better in games 3 & 4 to wrap this up.

youre kidding?

[jharap]

youre kidding?

he's getting there

I mean obviously there's Richter, Gretzky, Leetch, etc. and all of the guys from years ago, but my two favorites from that era were Messier and Graves. I've been at a loss for a player I've really loved in a long time, with the exception of Lundqvist. Now Avery is here and I just love every aspect of his game.

first of all, that is a ridiculous statement. Your comparing an agitating forward to a big stay-at-home defenseman. If you had any hockey sense at all, your question would compare Sean Avery now to Tie Domi of the early ranger 1990 teams.

Whats up everybody great thread Rangers are looking great tonight..I am in Maryland and have to hear about the crapitals all year long from some of my friends and i am just melting on my friends faces right now... Love the Rangers they are big time, still remember sitting with my dad when they one the cup in 94. The chants of 1940 for so long and then the chants of 1940, 1994...probably my greatest childhood memory, enjoy the game everyone

[DMBfan41]

game 4 tonight baby. i wasnt aware of this, but they have been having pep rally type things in Times Square, with Bobby Granger, and taking buses up to bars before the game. so im gettin the game early to take part. if anyone's around the city, i think they were actually giving out tickets yesterday. get to the garden at 4, and the first 150 people get into one of two double deckers buses, rdie them up to Times Square, then they stop at some bars on the way back down, and get back to the garden for the game at i think 630...check it out.

[pkpro1]

WHOA- they're giving out tickets? NO WAY.

[On Bended Knees]

Rangers fans looking to fire themselves up for tonight's Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals against Atlanta can join in the second pregame Rangers Playoff Road Tour, taking place this afternoon in New York's Times Square.

The Playoff Road Tour kicked off in a big way prior to Game 3 on Tuesday, as a dozens of Rangers fans rode up to Times Square in special double-decker buses dressed up in Rangers blue.

The group assembled at 4:30 p.m. in front of Madison Square Garden on 7th Ave. and 31st St., where they met with Rangers fan Bobby Granger, alumni Ron Greschner and Nick Fotiu and several members of the Rangers organization.

As the buses moved along, fans atop the bus chanted "Let's Go Rangers," until they arrived at Times Square. Once there, they saw a miraculous tribute to the Rangers on all of the marquees that make Times Square one of the city's most popular attractions. The entire area was suddenly a shrine to the Blueshirts – and remained that way from 5 to 7 p.m.

As part of the tribute, Times Square's famous "Naked Cowboy" wore Rangers underwear and sang a song he dedicated to the team.

Road Tour staff members distributed free fan-appreciation posters and blue Rangers playoff towels to all fans participating in Tuesday's event. The fans returned to MSG at 6 p.m., and the Playoff Road Tour crew continued to hand out Rangers items to fans on their way into the game.

The whole experience was big lift for the fans who participated, and certainly showed the rest of the city how passionate the Garden Faithful are about their team.

A second round of the Playoff Road Tour is planned for today at 4:30, beginning in front of MSG on Seventh Ave and 31st Street. For more on Tuesday's event, and a preview of what will take place today, view the "Bobby Granger in Times Square" video on Rangers on Demand, which is linked below.

1-0 thrashers, no good. Let's take this game tonight and get some rest!

Atlanta just didnt seem to care that the rangers were killing them, they didnt do anything to change lol, they just kept hoping that their style would work the next game. Too bad for them it didnt.

Good luck in the next round, I think you guys are gonna be playing the sabres.

Here we go again! Anyone have a prediction for us/the other series(no idea how to make series plural)?

[boonie]

I'm all ready for this series. I got to school at the University at Buffalo, so I downloaded the Rangers goal song for whenever they score, and I have my speakers ready to be cranked for those moments. Here's to Sean Avery, Henrik, and my other favorite Jed Ortmeyer.

:thumbsup And I'm loving Callahan right now... What a spark he has given the fourth line!

[s0628711]

Tonight's a big one. Whether we lose or not, we must play well enough to show that we can hang the whole series. If we show up and get smoked, then we could be in trouble. I'm praying for a win though!!

[tommyfnc420]

we need to steal at least one in buffalo...buffalo fans and media are talking a lot of shit about the rangers...comparing them to the isles, etc...
i kinda like being the underdawg.
go rangers.
potvin sucks.

:thumbsup The Rangers thrive as the underdog IMO... All year since February we have been counted out, even against Atlanta a lot of people expected us to flop.

If we play the exact same style of hockey we did against Atlanta, we can definitely win the series. That was a flawless performance of hockey on our part.

[tommyfnc420]

i have a lot of faith in this bunch of players.
should be an awesome series.

[Gonzo#34]

ouch down 3...10 minutes left. not lookin to great :shrug

[DMBfan41]

this is not the same hockey. I don't want to listen to this game anymore.

[s0628711]

Not at all. I hope Renney can get them back to their style of the first round and get fired up. They looked good early, but got nervous when they gave up one goal and we saw what happened following that.

[aeroshady]

I hate saying this, but Buffalo is that good. I don't think it is really a case of the Rangers not playing the same, It is more that Buffalo is playing like Buffalo for the first time in the Playoffs. I hope I am wrong and the Rangers turn it around, but my guess is that we should be happy we made it to round two, and this will probably be a short series in favor of Buffalo. Meh

I agree Buffalo played about as well as we sucked it up, but at Buffalo's height this season, that is their run in the first 2 months, we played them 4 times 3 of which didnt end in regulation, and 3 of which we played with weekes in goal. That was the hottest buffalo was all season and we gave them a run for our money, so if we do step up we can at least give them some trouble.

How many penalties did the Rangers take last night?

:confused dude(s), really? you're writing them off already? it's ONE GAME. have a little faith.
we can turn this series around with a good game tomorrow night. then it's back to the Garden, baby.

[pkpro1]

these power plays are going to kill us. we need to stop giving up so many penalties... friggin buffalo isn't going to let us get away with that.

[tommyfnc420]

the last 5-6 mins of the 2nd period was the difference in that game.

buffalo and atlanta are two very different teams. buffalo is quicker and has a much more potent offense. once they get rolling no team stands a chance against them

don't get me wrong. im not taking anything away from the sabres...i completely agree with your point, BUT i think we can take them down if we play to our potential.

[aeroshady]

don't get me wrong. im not taking anything away from the sabres...i completely agree with your point, BUT i think we can take them down if we play to our potential.

You kind of sound like a fan that either does not watch a lot of hockey other than Rangers games, or has not been a Rangers fan for many years. I am not saying that to take shots at you or to put you down in any way. I am saying that because as someone who watches a lot of hockey I can tell you, the Rangers will probably not play to there full potential, and even if they did, all the Sabers have to do is play to their's. As a fan of hockey you have to be able to admit when another team is just flat out better, and the Sabers are. Don't get me wrong here, if the Sabers get lazy or have a few bad games and the Rangers find a way to steal those games, the Rangers could very well force 7 games or maybe even win. But the reason people are writing them off is because if both teams play the best they can....the Sabers are better. In a few years that may not be the case, but right now it is. All any of us can do is say...LETS GO RANGERS! and hope for the best haha.

:lol :lol :lol
not to laugh at you, but dude...i have played and watched hockey for pretty much my entire life...it is a passion of mine.
now, you dont know me, and thats why im not offended, but i like to think of myself as someone who practices positive thinking. Shit, I even defended a-rod to all the naysayers who trashed him last season...all i am saying is that this group of guys is one of the most talented rangers teams in recent memory, and i think writing them off after ONE loss is insane, no matter how good Buffalo may be (which they are excellent). I dont think anyone expected the rangers to go 16-0 in the playoffs this season.
we have to capitalize on EVERY mistake the Sabres make, and they don't make many, so that's all the more reason for us to step up our game.
Let's go Rangers.






























Potvin still sucks.:D

Not to be pessimistic, but I don't feel that the Rangers CAN play to their "full potential" like they did against Atlanta because Buffalo is just in another league. Part of the reason that the Rangers were able to play so well against Atlanta was because they were the superior hockey team. Buffalo is certainly way above Atlanta, and you could see the Rangers had trouble keeping up. Just look at all those penalties in the early minutes.

That's not to say they can't win, but it's quite the uphill battle.

i thought atlanta was favored/picked to win that series. :confused
i believe the popular opinion was Thrashers in 6.
just goes to show.
now buffalo is a much better team, but no one should be writing the rangers off yet. if it's 3-0 buffalo, then i might say, ok, there's a good chance our season is over...but until that point, i know it sounds corny, but i believe in these guys. :)

I mean think what you want, but I am shocked that if you watch hockey as much as you say you do that you still think the Rangers are the better team. I love the Rangers more than any other sports team, but hell I know when we are out matched. I mean Lets go Rangers, but false hope is a sad thing and after being a Rangers fan for so long, I don't have any more false hope left over. Until they win the Cup they are never the better team IMO. I still say Sabers in 5. Oh and A-Rod is juicing...no question about it. Go Mets! and Sox!

i didnt say they were the better team -- just said i think we can pull off an upset on the favorite. look at the facts: second half of the season the sabres only won two more games than the rangers. i'll be the first one to admit when a team is excellent, and buffalo is an excellent team. i think our boys have a shot, is all im saying. i think the sabres are a very talented team, and they are certainly going to be the biggest challenge we face(d) all year, but not gonna bend on this one. i wont write them off till they're done. sorry hahaha...

a-rod is not juicing, either! :lol

[tommyfnc420]

...and you have to see these maniacs on the Rangers msg board -- already talking about who the rangers should trade and what not. lundqvist sucks, trade avery, shanny's washed up, etc...its really sad that one loss equals the demise of everyone's faith in their team that had a spectacular second half of the season and a phenomenal first round of the playoffs.

What's the link to those boards?

And I agree everyone's getting ahead of themselves, but the loss was extremely disheartening. Those back to back to back goals just made me cringe in pain.

Captain Canada, for the number of times he's led team Canada at the worlds. and yes, i'd love to see him back in Edmonton, but in a way I'd like to see him go to a team that's going to be a real contender in the next 1-2 years. IF there's one guy I want to see lift the cup, it's him.

[mr.MikeD]

they need something
:lol
ouch, and 100% true. we need a lot of somethings at this point.

[aeroshady]

Went better in game 2, but I knew going into the Third period that who ever scored the next goal would win. If Rangers went up 3-1 I think they would have held on, but when Buffalo scored I knew it was over and turned the Yankees/Sox game on. Rangers will have to win both games at home to even have a chance.

[JohnK86]

Rangers lost! HAHA! Unfortunately, so did the Ducks...

[DmBand801]

sorry ranger fans--this series is over...they're going back to Buffalo down 3-1

sabres in 5

[tommyfnc420]

tough loss last night. could have gone either way. we hit a couple of crossbars, and miller just came up huge. need back to back wins at the garden and we're right back in it.

btw, give malik an assist on drury's goal.

[boonie]

I havent seen the Rangers outplay someone like that and lose since the game in the 94 cup where Kirk McClane made 52 saves

[aeroshady]

sorry ranger fans--this series is over...they're going back to Buffalo down 3-1

I mean I agree....but you better worry about your own series there tough guy...
