- The fans agree with me on four - - HOW COULD I FORGET SERGEI ZUBOV!? Very, very stupid.
- Apparently this is a family event on all accounts.
- Smart cover up by Valiquette as the HBO line starts once again.
- Straka give away, calm save by Valiquette.
- Vancouver hasn't lost a game this season when leading into the third period, 18 - 0 . Jagr hits the post!
- Nice play by Daniel Sedin and another save by Valiquette.
- Bad penalty by Hossa. Offensive zone. Terrible. That's a good way to stay in the lineup. Holding at 2:18.
- Nice play by Avery on the penalty kill. Drury and Avery need to establish some better chemistry.
- Equally nice play by Straka in the closing moments of the penalty kill.
- Mara loses the Vancouver forward Jaffray and it's nearly a breakaway.
- Continued nice effort by the HBO line. Strange penalty call...
- That's the Colton Orr penalty? Oh my. That might be up there with the worst calls of all time. Joe Michelletti is fired up.
- Note to all young skaters: Don't accidentally knock skates while standing. Good job NHL officiating.
- Another great play on the penalty kill by Avery.
- Rob Schick is fortunate the Rangers didn't let a goal up on the power play.
- Nice little flurry of action by the first line, but no solid shots.
- Midway through the period and it's getting to that time...
- Hossa missed another shot and a penalty for high sticking on...
- NHL.com has the score listed as a 1 - 0 final. Spooky.
- Another terrible penalty by Hossa. High sticking at 11:00.
- Strong play along the boards by the Rangers on the penalty kill.
- Great saves by Valiquette with 6 minutes remaining.
- 5:10 left and it's getting tense. The Rangers have had shots and opportunities, but keep shooting themselves in the foot with penalties. Note to Renney : Sit Hossa the rest of the game.
- A nice RANGERS SUCK! Chant ringing throughout the crowd.
- 3:25 remaining and the Rangers can't break the offensive blue line.
- 2 on 1 with the Sedin twins when Tyutin pinched and the Rangers are down 2 - 0 .
- Girardi waited too long to commit. Another bad loss seems impending for the Rangers.
- Malik takes a lazy penalty right after, all but sealing this game.
- Gomez's point streak seems finished and the Rangers are now down 3 - 0 and the wheels have fallen off this car wreck.
- Ugly finish to this game. Really disappointing effort. Bad goaltending. Bad officiating. Bad offense. Bad defense. Perhaps bad is too strong, but ineffective and inconsistent needs to be in there.
- While Joe and Sam are saying the Rangers have been the better team, I simply disagree. They played a defensive road game, yes. But just because they kept it close doesn't mean it was strong hockey. Luongo wasn't really tested and this is twice now that the Rangers haven't tested an elite goalie.
- FINAL 3 - 0 Vancouver.
- Final Notes: Rangers outshot Vancouver 27 to 19. The Rangers took four penalties in the third period showing a total lack of discipline. Poor effort down the stretch. New York needs a shake up. A catalyst. Similar to Sean Avery's acquisition last season, the Rangers can't afford to let this continue and remain inconsistent. More in a bit...

Nice work Ak, a fun read - even if it comes after a poor game by the Blueshirts.
But I got the trivia right ... ha!
Scotty, thanks for reading. It was a poor game, as much as MSG tried to portray it otherwise. I still can't believe I forgot Zubov. What a terrible terrible mistake!
im loving the nyr game log!
