Rangers Vs. Canadiens: Rangers Drop Second Game In Montreal 4-1

PrintThe New York Rangers dropped their second straight game at the Bell Centre against the Montreal Canadiens. The Rangers were cursed with many defensive lapses this game, and it wound up costing them on the score board.
Just 2:39 into the first period, the Canadiens notched the first goal of the game. Max Pacioretty found the loose puck and lifted it over the sprawling Henrik Lundqvist. However, after a failed power play the Rangers got some life back mid-way through the second period.
John Mitchell cashed in on a rebound in front of Peter Budaj and would tie up the game for the Rangers. After going into the locker room, it seemed as if the Rangers had found their feet. Apparently that wasn't that case as the Canadiens scored just three minutes in the second period. Pacioretty would get his second of the evening on a deflection through traffic.
Follow after the jump for more.
Just four minutes later, Scott Gomez set-up Mike Blunden to give the Canadiens a 3-1 lead early on in the second period. The line of Wotek Wolski, Mike Rupp, and Kris Newbury was on the ice for all three of the Canadiens first goals. It was over just yet, as David Desharnais redirected a cross-ice pass from Max Pacioretty to put the Canadiens up 4-1.
It was a horrible game defensively for the Rangers, and it definitely cost them the game tonight. This recap was rather short, but there was nothing really worth pointing out tonight, the Rangers just didn't come to play this one. The Rangers next game will be Tuesday against the Nashville Predators back at Madison Square Garden.

I think we need Anson Carter to come out of retirement and save the season.

I wouldn't go that far
this team is struggling, but they will be fine.

As much as we want it to happen, we can’t win them all. Was hoping Newbury would finally do something…… we’ll see if he is playing Tuesday. Just started working in a new facility, and I can watch way more games than at home. Caught the last ten minutes of the first period, and we looked good. What happened?

The rumor is the kid died.

pretty sure all of them should have called an ambulance instead of stuck their puny cock in his face and take pictures.
exactly they would get in trouble for not helping the kid, sickening video….

wish I didn't watch this sickening video
thank goodness I don’t live in there-all those clowns should be ashamed of themselves instead of this-calling the police and ambulance would have been the right move.

Anybody else getting a little frustrated that our $60 million man has yet to find consistent chemistry with a single player on this team? I find that rather baffling for a guy that’s widely considered to be one of the best playmakers in the league.
He's a different type of player.
He’s the most unassuming and unspectatular 60-70 point player. Subtly makes lots of good plays, but flashes only sporadically.

A Paradox for sure
It is bizarre. If not for his 6 GWG’s, there would be a lot more BR bashing.
I mean our PP at times looks even worse than last year, if that’s possible, and he was supposedly the PP QB savior. Now he rarely carries the puck into the zone, and has not found a niche either at the point or in the circles.
And, while he’s indirectly taken the heat off Gabby, it’s VERY lucky Step has clicked so well with Marian, otherwise BR’s presence would be affecting Gabby in a negative way.
Truth. Didn’t watch the game, but Dubi brings spark, energy, and grit that Wolski cannot come close to matching.
Take it to the net and keep jamming and jamming until somebody comes on you.

Sort of like avery
Is hockey hard? "I don't know, you tell me. We need to have the strength and power of a football player, the stamina of a marathon runner, and the concentration of a brain surgeon. But we need to put all this together while moving at high speeds on a cold and slippery surface while 5 other guys use clubs to try and kill us, oh yeah did I mention that this whole time we're standing on blades 1/8 of an inch thick? Is ice hockey hard? I don't know, you tell me. Next question."

embarassing.
i really wish i could watch this game, but there seem to be no replays for this one. probably saving me some frustration anyway. listened to most of the 1st on break at work and didn’t think they’d lose this bad.
this makes me even more pissed off when recalling how some people in the media have dubbed the rangers an ‘elite’ team. the rangers are NOT an ‘elite’ team, yet. the rangers know this. torts knows this. an ‘elite’ team would have won this game.
with that said, i’m still very proud of this team and i have total confidence that if they continue to work hard, they’ll go pretty deep into the playoffs this year.

Wolski,Newbury..???
This line.screwed up three times…three goals..and game is over..I only hope that Rangers will not call Crisitiansen….from AHL…I think that Rangers need one more solid.,talented good .player,shooter,..to have more weapons….
(slightly off topic) you know whats wierd ?
Stamkos is the leading scorer in the nhl yet the lightning are at the bottom . Why do they suck so much this season? Islanders doing better.

I'm not surprised...
They’re shite defensively and in goal…if you look at their team, what…their 5 best players are forwards? Doesn’t bode well for the defense. They also made the classic mistake of “Hey, our 560 year old goalie played really well last year, he can do it again!” And everyone bought into it…really, Roloson was going to do that well again at 43? Idiots…
And I don't mean you as an idiot, sorry
I just saw several pundits picking them to win it all when they did nothing to improve their defense or goaltending…
Just a bad loss after a great win. Tighten up the ship and get ready to take out the Predators on Tuesday night.

not that it was all his fault but can we finally put the “hope” that we will get something out of Wolstiff to rest? That’s a guy who played like he’s been out a while and fighting for a spot? Send him packing please.
another EC. the coaching staff must be hoping for him to bring creativity to the offense. problem is, that we play a very particular style of hockey and can’t afford any holes in that system.
We'll rebound
As someone said, this goes in the category of “you can’t win them all”. With that said…Wolski, Rupp, and mista lobsta Newbury being on ice for 3 goals frustrates me. I like Rupp and all, but the guy is pretty bad at defense, Wolski has never been good at defense, and Newbury is just an AHL guy.
Wolski just doesn’t fit in with this team, he hasn’t really worked out with us or the Coyotes other than that 31 goal year. And it doesn’t surprise me he hasn’t meshed with either, I mean the Coyotes and Rangers are 2 pretty defensive minded teams who place a lot of defensive responsibility on their forwards, and I think Wolski just can’t play in a system like that. Put him on a team with a more offensive approach, I’m sure he would contribute there.

To everyone who keeps saying no trades are necessary this is what happens when you have WW and Newbury coming off the bench in case of an injury which is bound to happen at some point in the playoffs.
We cant really afford at top 6 forward but we can certainly add a bottom 6 for depth reasons.

Good point.
The injury to Dubinsky necessitated having one guy just back from a long injury and another just called up from the AHL having to be inserted into the lineup and thrown onto the same line and you can’t expect that line to be anything but a liability.
Also, I only caught bits and pieces of the game because I was watching the Giants but you can’t forget that this was their 3rd game in 4 nights; them getting outworked looked like a lot of fatigue to me. Also, the Canadians were on a losing streak and teams like that are hungry for wins and sometimes you just get the short end of the stick (remember Washington a couple of weeks back)?

Newbury was playing 3rd in 3 nights
No excuse, but I’d imagine he had tired legs. He gets top minutes for CT.
by Gabby the Gutless Sniper on Jan 16, 2012 10:13 AM EST via mobile up reply actions
True but I still stand by that if you really want to contend your bench needs to be deeper than a Newbury and EC.

Wolski as 13th forward is a luxury
These rumors about Greg Moore kind of make sense. He would be a good 4th line center. He has been a bit of a douche in recent years against us.
Avery & MZA aren’t options anymore and nobody else is ready in CT to come up. Perhaps a depth trade is in order.
by Gabby the Gutless Sniper on Jan 16, 2012 11:36 AM EST via mobile up reply actions
Luxury for who? The team we are playing against?
I think that was WW last chance and the decision has to be to move forward without him in any long term plans. I understand that he must not be in shape and timing is off but effort should not be effected. Too bad he has done nothing to increase his trade value.

He’s clearly not part of the future plan. But not many teams will be scratching guys with Wolski’s resume of production in the playoffs.

Sry I know this has nothing to do with the article, but I just started a new job and BSB is blocked on my computer. Does anyone know how to get around that?

Lundqvist
back to back losses with really poor play between the pipes…hopefully his slump will not last long.
I wouldn't say poor, more like human.
He had a funk like this last year. Similar timing, lack of scoring is also an issue. Andersen was really good Thursday night. Last night was total turd by everyone.

I don’t put the deflection or the 2 on 1 goal on Hank.
