NFT: Minnesota Wild @ NY Rangers: 7:00 PM on MSG Network

You make it sound so cordial! hahahaha.....can he decline it and take a phone hearing instead?

They mean that since the Rangers are in NY, it's easier for their players to show up for an in-person hearing compared to a Western Conference team, and thus the league has offered Moore the option of an in-person hearing. I would guess that it still "counts" as a phone hearing in terms of the length of suspension.

but i guess i'd have to see if he targeted him from further out or something. He'll get a few games but anything more than 5 games seems extreme.

Also while I really condone it of course, it is nice that one of our guys has a little snarl to him. Teams think twice when they know a loose cannon like that is out on the ice.

We can get by a few games without Johnny Moore.

on Boyle in the 2012 playoffs.

The 5 game suspension limit is no longer in effect. This is a regular in-person hearing.

as the Islanders fall to 2-3 on the season against starting NHL goaltenders. One of those "starters" being Khubodin/Carolina.

But hey... its 10/28 and they still own first place by a point, even if Pittsburgh has a game in hand and has faced NHL goalies to date.

You know.. the guy who was definitely better than Hank as of last year even though he had never carried a full load in his career?

Yeah.. gave up 5 goals and the Devils lost 8-3

And yep.. the legend of LOLak is being born right on schedule.

Go figure

They have faced a plethora of backup goalies and only lead the division by a point. meanwhile we are playing some of the most inconsistent hockey we have seen under AV, lack a power play and our Norris and Vezina caliber stars are yet to find their game and we are right on their ass


Let the jag offs yack....everything will shake out as we are accustomed

penalty.

As we all know its impossible to win in the NHL when you get called for a questionable 5 minute major penalty. Let alone get called for 2 five minute majors in the same game!

Last night was so awesome... its like jerking off over and over again

Answer:
Someone who can't get laid.

Seriously though. Can't disagree with the Halak criticisms. He's been bad.

The blatant elbow or the push from behind 10 ft. From the boards? Kreider is a dirt bag and he doesn't even get a phone call.

The elbow didn't come up until follow through, shoulder to the chest.

I get that they're trying to eliminate head shots, but he didn't hit his head..


Fluffy can suck it, he still thinks Phaneuf's hit on Staal wasn't clean..

And Moore gets a phone call. Kreider's hit looked much worse.

Doesn't look as bad in the .gif above as it did on the MSG replay angle.

Looked worse? Are you sniffing glue?

JMoore's didn't even look as bad as I initially thought but I can deal with him getting a phone call, I expected it. It was worse than Kreiders. Kreider didn't deserve one.

That dude turned his back and leaned, totally expecting contact, Kreider has to learn he can't just blow through them on that play and use his body to engage then jockey for position. With his strength, he'll win that battle and avoid the major..

Both clean hits. Refs just doing their anti-war thing. Just wanted to get it clear. Thanks.

Anti-nyr

And his strength caused this one.

What an adonis. How does he not lead the league in every category?

I'm going to jerk off over and over again thinking of him.

LOL.. nearly every one of us said Moore's was bad last night and would warrant a suspension.

And if you think Kreider slid into Price on purpose with nothing causing it, I don't know what to tell you.

is clean. Solid player.

Welcome aboard.

Remember to finish on pganut

Dont be a pussy and talk shit on a seperate thread you faggot. Everything will shake out as you are accustomed to? Oh like not winning a cup for the 73rd year of 74? You guys are the fucking most arrogant fans. You never win SHIT. Congrats on getting more participation awards for making the playoffs. What a grand fucking achievement that must be.

I anxiously await youre whining about NHL .500 record too like every year.

and the only ones who would care are guys wearing baseball jackets that read Seaford Saints Softball Champs 2007 or Commack Fire Dept Volunteer and women who wear their hair too big,pot bellied,low rider jeans and halter tops

Davisian's joke about the stereotypical long island fan is funnier and more clever. Keep piggybacking on his act. You dont look stupid.....at......all

Hudson has a pretty funny act too where he comes and asks for attendance figures and then says how the metro area can only support 1 team, maybe try that one out next, ok Carlos Mencia?

But no one cares about the Devils :(

hurts

You'd think with a stud first place team to talk about, they wouldn't be all over Ranger threads. Clearly these guys are just overwhelmed by the massive October success they've had.

The bigger pussies they act like.

Anger & Irrelevancy. If they learn to control their anger they are left with..... ...

classy, per usual

It's not whining, it's common sense. If according to your NHL version of .500, about 80% of teams satisfy the criteria and the league average win % is 56%... then well, congratulations on your achievement of 50% I guess. Here's a gold star.

I cant blame you at all for being jealous of the run Rangers fans had last spring and Devils fans had in 2012. It was quite a ride. But no worries, you can always hang your hat on 1982.

As for the name calling of "faggot" - I realize this is a hockey thread, but grow up. No one else was personal and you come across as a douche, something i doubt you'd have the guts to do in real life.

Says the guy who felt the need to start shit in an isles thread and then quietly continues to talk your shit in the rangers thread. Why do you care if a FAN celebrates the teams "success"? Isnt that what being a fan is? its annoying to read all the time

i find most of what you spew to be extreme diarrhea of the mouth. So what.

And there's nothing "quiet" about posting on a Rangers thread. We know all you Fish-sticks fans read them.

It's turning into a fun little rivalry. Try not to take it so seriously, and let's avoid the "faggot" namecalling. We're not 10 years old.

i merely pointed that the Islanders are 2-3 against starting NHL goalies this season, one of them being Khubodin and the Hurricanes which are a sure fire bet for a top 3 draft pick this year.

Congrats on beating Hank - that's the only playoff goalie the Islanders have beat year to date.

And for the record, KWhite, in the preseason I came on here and picked the Islanders to finish 2nd in the division and face the 3rd seeded Rangers in the playoffs. So its not like i think your team is terrible, ok.... I just think its been a little lucky so far as far as getting to face more backups than other teams in this division have to face.

the Rangers got to play the Bruins with a healthy Tuuka Rask watching from the bench. Or even the Stars sitting a healthy Lehtonen.

when is Letonen healthy?

I got angry and I didnt mean it in the way that it was taken. In my days growing up, that word didnt mean or was used as it is looked at now. I do apologize for that.

But as far as my shit talking rangers fans, that still stands :)

its fun that both teams are finally good. Good for the metro area.

Hopefully the Devils and Flyers suck a nut though.

for general consumption.....interesting statistical analysis on potential line combos when Stepan returns. Worth a read.

R killing it.

no worries!

Just don't put a 2 man line out there. Being that Hagelin is, by far, the fastest man in the NHL and Kreider is just an adonis they could easily dominate any team. You guys always piss on our threads. We can do the same.
