Rangers 1, Hurricanes 5 - 1/27/10
[ rangers.nhl.com ]
In their final home game before a three-game trip out West, the Rangers did not get the result they were seeking. Instead of a victory to bolster them as they jet off to Phoenix, the Blueshirts dropped their fourth straight contest, falling 5-1 to the Carolina Hurricanes on Wednesday night at Madison Square Garden.
Ryan Callahan scored the lone goal for the Rangers, who have netted just three total during their four-game slide.
“I didn’t think we played that bad of a game,” Callahan said. “If you break it down, I thought we battled hard and we had a lot of time in their zone. Right now we need that extra bounce and go from there.”
[ rangers.nhl.com ]
Carolina’s win was backstopped by a sensational outing from goaltender Cam Ward, who made 21 saves in the second period alone, and finished with 37. Sergei Samsonov and Eric Staal both contributed two goals apiece for the visitors.
“I think Ward played great tonight for them and gave them a boost,” said center Brian Boyle. “They capitalized on that with some scoring. We need to do that, get those goals.”
[ rangers.nhl.com ]
“Of course that’s not the start we’re looking for,” said alternate captain Vinny Prospal. “But there was still a lot of time left in the hockey game. But we got just one goal, and that’s not enough.”
Carolina struck for goals 25 seconds apart to open up a two-goal lead by the 3:36 mark of the first. Positioned down low in front of Henrik Lundqvist, Carolina’s Patrick Dwyer deflected Joni Pitkanen’s slap shot into the net for his fourth goal at 3:11. Staal, the Hurricanes’ new captain, doubled the advantage on the game’s next shift when his bad angle shot from left wing somehow eluded Lundqvist at 3:36.
“I have to be better, plain and simple,” said Lundqvist.

Rangers 0, Flyers 2 - 1/21/10
"The Rangers went out on the road Thursday night and played a rugged, physical game in Philadelphia. Unfortunately, they were unable to recreate their recent scoring magic and were shut out by the Flyers 2-0 at the Wachovia Center."
[ rangers.nhl.com ]
On a more positive note, I got to enjoy the game from Skybox L and shot some amazing photos. I was the only Ranger fan proudly sporting my Ranger's jersey in a skybox full of Flyers fans! I even got my jersey pulled over my head after the first Avery fight but kept on cheering!

Philadelphia's mustachioed pugilist got the blood boiling on the ice and in the postgame dressing rooms last night by dropping the gloves with Marian Gaborik, the Ranger superstar who in 10 NHL seasons has 248 goals and now two fighting majors. The brief and predictably one-sided scrap came 5:43 into the second period of a fight-filled 2-0 Ranger loss.

"I've seen highlights, and I don't see that guy as a smart guy," Henrik Lundqvist said of Carcillo. "It is disrespectful; you don't go after a top player like that. It doesn't matter if they're just holding each other, you don't drop the gloves - he knows who his opponent is. I'll say it again: He doesn't look that smart to me, and he showed it tonight."
Asked about the long memories hockey players hold for these sort of things, Lundqvist said, "Oh yeah. We will remember this for sure, and he should be ready for it."

Rangers Crush Bolts 8-2 at MSG!
NEW YORK—The last time the New York Rangers scored eight goals was on Jan. 23, 2002. Almost exactly eight years later, the Rangers matched that feat with an 8–2 victory over the Tampa Bay Lightning on Tuesday night at Madison Square Garden.
The victory along with the 6–2 win over the Montreal Canadiens on Sunday mark the first time in nearly three years that the Rangers have scored six goals or more in back-to-back games.
Before the game, Rangers head coach John Tortorella said, “We had a little bit of edge to our game and that’s something very important that we need to do consistently.” The Blueshirts have now brought that edge to two straight home games.
Before the game, Rangers head coach John Tortorella said, “We had a little bit of edge to our game and that’s something very important that we need to do consistently.” The Blueshirts have now brought that edge to two straight home games.
Lundqvist, on the other hand, continued his stellar play this season and hasn’t allowed more than two goals since December. The two Tampa Bay scores came from Lightning captain Vincent Lecavalier and Alex Tanguay.
The Rangers climbed into fifth place in the Eastern Conference with the big win. They travel to face the Philadelphia Flyers on Thursday hoping to avenge a 6–0 pasting from late December.

The King Has a New Crown
Henrik wore his new helmet in Sundays's game again the Montreal Canadiens. The new mask art is similar to last year but taken to a whole new level in white and metallic blue and a white back, sporting the Bauer logo.
The story
This design continues in the same spirit as Henrik Lundqvist's previous masks created by his mask painter David Gunnarsson through the years. It has a white base that gives really strong contrasts to the whole, a signum for Lundqvist's mask creations.
The Rangers logos on the sides, painted with extreme detail work and 3-D effects, bring a depth beyond the normal to the whole. Everything tied together to a whole that breathes Rangers and Lundqvist to a 100%.
The so popular innovation from DAVEART with the name DAVEART Holographix FX, forms a custom made Statue Of Liberty pattern in the base tones, and adds another level of depth.
In this design the cage is used as an important part of the design, with it's white tints it efectively breaks off the color fields. And as always in Henrik's designs there's lightning all over the surface delivering an electric feeling.

One on One with Henrik Lundqvist
[ Interview from 2006, nypress.com ]
The 25-year-old, second-year New York Rangers goaltending sensation, who finished third last season in voting for the Vezina Trophy (the NHL’s best goaltender award), set the Rangers rookie goaltending wins record (30, the most since 1942) and snagged a gold medal for Sweden at the 2006 Olympics, told New York Press that being beautiful means little to him, playing ABBA after a win means a lot to his team and being a goalie means being a little lonely.
NY PRESS: Last year you were one of People magazine’s “100 Most Beautiful People in the World.” How does that make you feel considering that you spend 99 percent of your professional life wearing a mask?
Henrik Lundqvist: I think the People magazine was a fun thing, but it was more for people who were, how do you say it, passing the time. I don’t know if I really fit. I had a good
year on the ice. Obviously, without a facemask, I would be in the hospital right now.
Your identical twin brother, Joel, plays in the Dallas Stars organization. Once you made the list shouldn’t they have included him?
(laughs) Well, we have different styles. That’s for sure. Maybe you can ask the jury about that.
With Alexander Ovechkin, Sidney Crosby, Eric Staal and you, there are so many big NHL stars that are 25 and under. How often do you guys get together and talk about the future of the league?
Not too much. The schedule is so busy we don’t have time to meet other players. I met the other guys at an awards banquet after last season, but it was just to say “hi” and a quick talk.
In order to promote this league, why is it so important for fans to see NHL players with their helmets and masks off?
I think it’s always good if you can reach out there and find new fans. I know they’re talking about doing shootouts without the helmets. That’s a good idea. It’s hard for people to recognize hockey players and how they look. A thing like that might be helpful.
Lots of people blame owner James L. Dolan for the Knicks’ troubles; why don’t the same people give him a little credit for the Rangers turnaround?
That’s a good question. I don’t know who you should blame when things are going bad for a team. Hopefully, this year the Knicks do better and people might be more satisfied with the team. Dolan, he’s a great guy.
Many people thought New York Islanders owner Charles Wang was crazy when he signed goalie Rick DiPietro to an historic 15-year, $67.5 million contract. What’s so crazy about that?
It’s a long time, especially in sports. You don’t know what’s going to happen with injuries. It’s hard to tell how good you’ll be in 10 years, let alone 15. I mean it’s really good for DiPietro. He’s a great goaltender. It’s just that it was really surprising that anyone was able to sign a contract like that.
Back in Frolunda, Sweden, you played guitar in a rock band?
The name of the band was Box Play. We only played covers. It was Swedish rock. We were not good at all. It was taken out of proportion when I got over here. I love music. It takes your energy away from hockey. There’s so much hockey going on all the time—games, practices—so it’s fun to have something else to do. It makes you relax.
You’ve played hockey in arenas all over the world. What’s so special about Madison Square Garden?
I think it’s the history. The crowd is so intense. There’s just some buildings, when you play in them, you feel the difference. It’s in the bricks.
What about Rangers fans is different than other hockey fans?
In my experience, they are very, um, how would you say, “excited.” They are really into the team and how things are going, and they really want to know everything. It’s hard to explain but [the Rangers] are obviously a very important thing to a lot of people.
That doesn’t scare you at all?
I mean, of course it comes with pressure, too. We want to perform well. So it helps you put a lot of pressure on yourself to achieve.
In baseball, some years they say it’s a pitcher’s league and other years a hitter’s league. Is the NHL a goalie’s league?
I think it might have been before the lockout. But with the new rules, it has changed. There’s a lot more goals scored right now. I say it’s a “team game league” now. It used to be very important to have lot of star players. Now it’s more important to have a very solid, four-line team.
Sometimes, are you just dying to bust out of the net, skate the full length of ice and score a goal?
Not really. The feeling to make a good save for the team, that’s the feeling I like. I don’t mind scoring, though. That could be a lot of fun. But I’m not allowed to cross the red line, so I’d have to do it from my own end.
Last year, you privately struggled with migraine headaches. Doctors said it came from grinding your teeth at night. How’s that coming along?
I had some problems over the summer, but when I got back here, I got some medication. It feels really good now. It feels good to be 100 percent out on the ice. When you have something that disturbs you, it’s hard to perform your best.
Is it lonely being a goalie?
(long pause) It’s a strange position. Not strange, but it’s very different. It’s almost like you’re on your own. Yes, like you’re lonely. You still feel support from your teammates, but when you’re out there, you’re kind of doing your own thing. You’re playing your own game. A lot of guys depend on you. Sure, you feel their support, yet, as I said, you’re out there on your own. But I like it. That’s why I’m a goalie.

Canadiens crumble in humbling loss to Rangers
[ national.post.com ]
“It was a heckuva’ game by both (Callahan and Dubinsky),” said Drury. “You could tell they had their legs, they were flying. They made some great plays both with, and without, the puck. They both had real big-time games for us.”
After a rare night of rest Saturday in St. Louis, Henrik Lundqvist was once again in goal for the Rangers on Sunday. He finished with 18 saves for his 21st victory of the season.
“It’s funny how things can turn around in one game,” said Lundqvist. “You see how important it is to get guys scoring. I think their game picks up when they score, most of the guys. They just feel good about themselves and get confidence.”

New York Rangers Coach John Tortorella Tries to Shut Out Concerns Over Henrik Lundqvist
John Tortorella bristled at the notion that he should keep his antennae up concerning Henrik Lundqvist's psyche, given the hard luck the Rangers' goaltender has experienced in his last two losses. Some of his players, meanwhile, were the ones who brought it up."That is one game; we've played pretty well," the coach said. "I don't want you to start separating Henrik and the team; I'm not going there. We've played pretty well. We stunk (Thursday night), which is unacceptable, I'll give you that, but it's (one game)."
Thursday's loss to the Senators gave Lundqvist back-to-back losses despite his stopping 77 of 78 shots in the two games - the first a classic goaltenders' duel against Martin Brodeur and the Devils, the second a dreary display against emergency call-up Mike Brodeur and the Ottawa Senators. Tortorella was mystified after Thursday's loss as to how his team could have taken its struggling opponent so lightly after two days of warnings from the coach. Tonight in St. Louis, they'll get another crack at it against a Blues team that has won three straight following a seven-game skid and is on the fringe of the Western Conference playoff picture.

New York Rangers @ St Louis Blues 1/16/10
"We played hard for the whole game, and then I don't know what we did in the last minute," Lundqvist said. "When you don't score, a mistake like that costs you. It is frustrating because, I think, everybody is playing hard and playing solid defensively but it comes down to we need to score goals, too."
