NYR/VAN 12/16 Review: Broken Record Blueshirts Embarrass Themselves at M$G Again; Same Old Ranger Excuses Too, A New Contender For “Worst Loss of the Season;” Shutout By League’s Worst To Boot, Stupid Sully’s Short-Bus Special Teams Have No Fuel; Six-Forward Power-Play No Good Either, Mopey Mika, Fire Drury, Season Tix Holders Screwed, M$GN & More

It was the same old shit for the Same Old Rangers on Tuesday night at M$G, as once again, the broken-down and broken-record Blueshirts were embarrassed on home ice. This time around and Sully’s Squad dropped a 3-0 decision to the Vancouver Canucks – you know – the worst team in the entire league. The Rangers, now shutout seven times this season in thirty-five games played (that’s 20% of all contests for you math majors), have saved six of these shutouts for the fans who pay the highest home ticket prices in all of the NHL today.

Greetings and salutations everyone and welcome to another blog here on BlueCollarBlueShirts.com. Not surprised. Not surprised at all.

After all, I closed last night’s blog (linked below), following the loss to the Ducks, with this:

Up Next For The Rangers: No rest for the weary, as the Rangers will host the down-and-out, and now Quinn Hughes-less too, Vancouver Canucks on Tuesday night.

And wouldn’t it be so on brand for the Blueshirts to lose this game?

After all, the Canucks are the worst team in the league (12-17-3, 27-points) – and where the Rangers have previously lost two games in this fashion this season (the Calgary Flames and the now the emerging San Jose Sharks – and whose league-wide ascension began after their 6-5 victory at M$G earlier during this 2025-26 campaign – which also included a Macklin Celebrini hat-trick).

And while it wasn’t much, as it was the same amount for the cost of a beer at M$G these days, but I also put my money where my mouth was too:

It was extremely telling that the worst team in the league, while on the road to boot, were only +115 underdogs. However, it wasn’t that telling when the Rangers were shutout by them – as that’s what these SLUMPBUSTING Blueshirts always do.

Tuesday night’s debacle was just like any other Rangers’ loss from this crappy centennial campaign, including, but not limited to, the following:

— A god-awful power-play, where on this night, the Blueshirts’ man-up teams finished 0-4 – and where of their four pathetic tries – they also gave up a short-handed goal too – and for the second consecutive game at that.

— A low SOG total, as while Vancouver only mustered up 17 SOG, New York only managed 23 SOG themselves – and again – that includes when having four separate power-plays.

— Another goalie having the game of his life at M$G. While Thatcher Demko is a better name than most of the backstops to have blanked the Blueshirts this season; regardless, and this was his best game of the season.

— Another loss to the league’s worst, as following being embarrassed by the likes of the Flames and the Sharks – and the Rangers found a new low to sink to.

— Shutout again, and as noted above, for the sixth time at M$G this season, seven times in total.

— NOTHING from the FAT CATS at all, including from the returning Miserable Mika, who was somehow credited with two SOG (I counted only one).

— No life or energy at all for long stretches. Sans a Jonathan Quick breakaway save made on Kiefer Sherwood at the halfway mark of the game, which then gave the Blueshirts a burst; then in reality, Morgue $quare Garden was so quiet, so quiet that you could even hear Wince Mercogliano chew another one of his dinners, while also hearing Mollie “I don’t give a shit, I am WOMYN, hear me roar” Walker, giggle like a retarded hyena.

— Stubborn Sully, who despite watching this wretched five-forward first power-play unit make a mess of their diapers all game, refuse to get away from it all. Heck, he didn’t even give PP2 a chance to start a power-play either.

— I’m not even kidding – and let me share this real-time Tweet of mine, one that was posted after the Rangers had failed on three separate power-plays during the first period, for the evidence:


Eventually, and down to 4:00 remaining – and that’s what the Rangers did – they employed a six-forward power-play!

And of course, this is when Vancouver scored their empty-net short-handed goal too.

But before getting into what happened at the World’s Most Expensive Funeral Home on Tuesday night, then let me stay on topic and close out with another “SAME OLD RANGER” moment – which is exactly what the broken record Blueshirt post-game interviews have now become.


Make it happen Donnie!

Prior to all of the excuses made and bullshit plopped, then following the match, Mopey Mika, a healthy scratch/punished on Monday night, made these remarks about his one-game timeout:

“I was stuck behind an accident that caused traffic. I’m hoping that everyone in that accident was fine. Rules are rules and I was late. There’s not much else to say.”

Here’s something I can say – and as I’ve been saying for some time now – including when he was first re-signed by the club:

His contract is an accident. His entire post COVID career has been an accident. And dumbass Chris Drury’s decision to trade the other BFF, Chris Kreider, instead of this Swedish-Iranian failed dee-jay, is the biggest accident of them all!

That all said?

Then I’m not buying hitting traffic during the first snowfall of the year as the only reason why Sullivan decided to banish him to the press box on Monday night – and especially not with the Kreider & Trouba Ducks in-town either.

We’ll never get the full 411 about this – that is – until many years down the line later, when Mika and/or Sully hit the podcast circuit – or whatever other form of technology is around then.


Let’s continue the crybaby tour, as here was what Zibanejad fed to the rubes who paid money to see these losers:

“We have to find a way to add on to what we did today and maybe be a little bit more desperate and more resilient in front of their net and force that puck to go in. That’s what I see from tonight’s game.”

Oh really, then why didn’t you do it? Were you too busy combing your dry hair all-game?

“We can score goals. How many games have we played on the road that we’ve shown that we can score? I’d be more worried if it’s all through the season. I don’t know what else to say.”

You’ve been shutout a league-high seven times – again – 20% of your games! How about scoring at home? And not for nothing, then the Rangers are only six-games shy of the half-way mark of the season too! Is Mika mentally defected – or just that ignorant?

“It’s tight in the standings too and the points really matter. We have to start winning games, especially at home.”

The Rangers are now 4-10-3 on home ice this season – which means that they’ve only won four games in seventeen tries. Mika thinks that they should START winning now? And is he aware of the games in-hand aspect in all of this?

Moving on, then here’s what the product of Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin said, Blueshirts’ bench boss Mike Sullivan:

“I thought we did a better job today. We had good looks. I would say it’s a good job if we score and we win. A better job of creating chances.”

Is this Boston bastard out of his freakin’ mind?

YOU GOT SHUT OUT BY THE WORST TEAM IN THE LEAGUE ON HOME ICE AND WHERE YOUR PATHETIC POWER-PLAY WENT 0-4. THAT’S NOT GOOD ANYWHERE, YA MORON!”

“Our leadership group pride themselves and put a lot of pressure on themselves to score consistently. When it doesn’t go in the net, nobody feels it more than them.”

BOO FUCKING HOO!

And if that’s the case, then maybe the Blueshirts should get Kleenex to sponsor them. After all, they only have 79867986798679867986978 other advertisers and corporations to plug during every home game played! What’s one more?

“If I had the solution, we would certainly bring it. We’re doing our best to control the process. We’re trying to solve it, for sure. Is it a little bit concerning at this point? Yeah.”

Aren’t you paid to have the solution? Heck, aren’t you earning the most money out of every head coach in the league? Hell, aren’t you the highest-paid coach in the entire sport of professional hockey world-wide today?

Again – Sully is nothing more than a guy who got to ride the coattails of Crosby.

“It sucks, but I’m not concerned.” – J.T. Miller – who said the complete opposite of what his own head coach said – and where for that matter – then if the captain isn’t concerned about all of this – then there’s a major problem in Rangerstown, USA.

“This won’t ruin my Christmas.” – Chris Drury, albeit, all the way back in 2008 after a loss to the Capitals!


It’s time for James Dolan to wake up and execute the worst captain in franchise history from his current position as the team’s general manager and president.

Going into tonight’s debacle, then I said this prior to puck drop:


Sadly, and after the fact?

Then really, I don’t think that anything will change.

Drury will stay cozy in his M$G confines, Perreault will remain in Hartford, the five-forward power-play mess will continue, and where we will still have to wait closer to the trade deadline to finally see Panarin get his walking papers – as there’s just no way that Drury can be stupid enough to give the alleged sexual assaulter a raise, nor a long-term contract either.

And for those counting?

Then this was another game where you didn’t hear about Panarin’s shaved head.

Gee, I wonder who could’ve predicted that such a thing wouldn’t matter!


Funny enough, and Panarin had a game-high eight shots on goal, which also matched his game-high eight turnovers!

This game was doomed from the start – but also a reminder that bad things happen to bad teams too.

At just the 1:46 mark, then Matthew Robertson, when trying to get back and defend Evander Kane, accidentally collided with linesman Devin Berg.

In fact, this accidental collision was so bad that Mika missed a team meeting afterwards.

It also led to the first goal of the game, as once alone, and without a Blueshirt in sight to stop him, and Kane beat Jonathan Quick for the quick (pun intended), 1-0, road team, goal.

Crazier than that?

Then some 58:14 later – and this also wound up as your game-winning goal too.

The Rangers, as noted earlier, perhaps received some gifts from the feeling-bad-about-themselves officials, as they soon went on the power-play on three different occasions in this here first period.

They didn’t score once.

And if the Blueshirts aren’t aware, then this is a results-based business, so they need to STFU about having “good looks” when continuing to post 0-fers in the man-up department every night – and especially when they can’t score against the worst team in the league – and one that just traded away their captain over the weekend.

The second period was no better, as at just the 3:24 mark, and Liam Ohgren, one of the pieces Vancouver received in exchange from Minnesota for Quinn Hughes, beat Quick on a shot that #32 would want back.

While streaking up the ice on the rush, and a simple Ohgren shot was seemingly stopped by Quick – then only to trickle behind the goaltender for the 2-0, 1994 Western Conference Champions, goal.

Quick did redeem himself, because, and as noted earlier, he then made two stops on a Sherwood breakaway (the initial attempt and then on the rebound afforded), which then allowed the Rangers to attack Demko & Company during nearly ten-minutes of whistle-free hockey.

But alas – and no goals scored either.

Come the do-or-die final frame, the third period, and with this 2-0 score still in-tact – and one fact became woefully apparent – the Canucks wanted it more.

While doing a good job of protecting the puck – they were also aggressive too.

Conversely, and with things not going well, then you could see the same expression all across the Blueshirts’ bench – they just wanted to go home and cash their undeserved paychecks.

The Rangers received one last reprieve from the referees with just 4:48 remaining, as a soft hooking call was assessed against Marco Rossi.

100-seconds later?

Then, and with Quick on the bench for the heralded sextet of forwards power-play – and there was Conor Garland for the 3-0, empty-netted, and short-handed too, dagger.

Despite this score with just 3:07 remaining – and the power-play genius himself, Sullivan, pulled Quick once more.

About a minute later – and Trocheck slashed Sherwood, thus requiring the future Hall of Fame goaltender to return to his steed.

In what was just lazy, inexcusable, pathetic and a slap right to the face of Quick too – and the Rangers just gave up once Trocheck was sent to the sin bin with 1:41 remaining.

While there was no way in hell they’d mount a three-goal comeback; but they could’ve at least tried to limit the damage on Quick’s stat sheet.

During this final 1:41 and Quick had to make three saves.

Demko?

While he did make a few good saves in there during the rare times when he was tested; and he demKO’d the Rangers – as this 3-0 knockout loss replaces that shit-show against Tampa from a few weeks back, as the ABSOLUTE WORST LOSS OF THE SEASON.

No ifs, ands or buts about it.

And if Dolan had a brain.

Then this should be a loss that sends Drury packing too.


In case you missed it, then here’s where I last left off, last night, after the 4-1 loss to the Ducks:

NYR/ANA 12/15 Review: Same Old Rangers Lose To Four Former Rangers; Drury’s An Idiot, Blueshirts Get “DostWALL’D” at CZAR IGOR’s Expense, Kreider & Trouba Night at M$G; But Sadly No Dr. Kelly vs Brooks Exchange, Silly Sully Continues His Maddening Five-Forward PP1 Experiment; Ducks’ 5 x 3 Shorty The Difference, “Cayleigh Commentary;” HBD Dad, Mika Punished; Banished To Press Box, Hypocritical Sieve Vagistat Calls Out Shesty, Rempe Confirms Broken Thumb; Somewhat Effective in Return, Tons of Blueshirts’ Alumni Thoughts; Bring Back James Patrick, Slippin’ In The Standings, M$GN & Much More


I wonder if Sullivan gives a percentage of his contract to Crosby – as without #87 – and this Boston buffoon isn’t the highest-paid coach in the league today.

Since the Rangers wasted our time last night, then they didn’t practice or have any media sessions prior to tonight’s slop.

Come 6:30PM, when the team had their pregame warm-up, then it was revealed that Brett Berard, who had played in the past eleven games, was going to be a healthy scratch.

Thank the hockey gods – as the Rangers still have that one-two combo of Conor Sheary and Taylor Raddysh – and a pair of future one-and-doners that did nothing but damage Noah Laba tonight.

No joke?

Then had we had Cuylle/Laba/Berard as a trio – then it’s my opinion that the Rangers would’ve found a way to score at least one goal – then lose 3-1!


Here was Sully’s line-up for the thirty-fifth game of this 2025-26 season:

FIRST LINE: Panarin/Mika/Lafreniere

SECOND LINE: Cuylle/Trocheck/Miller

THIRD LINE: Sheary/Laba/Raddysh

FOURTH LINE: Chmelar/Carrick/Rempe

FIRST PAIR: Gavrikov/Schneider

SECOND PAIR: Soucy/Borgen

THIRD PAIR: Robertson/Morrow

STARTING GOALIE: Quick

BACK UP GOALIE: CZAR IGOR

HEALTHY SCRATCHES: Urho Vaakanainen, Brett Berard and Jonny Brodzinski

LTIR: Adam Edstrom and Adam Fox

After going on-and-on last night when criticizing CZAR IGOR for having the most lucrative/richest goalie contract in the league – and Sieve Vagistat did not dare to do the same thing when in the presence of Henrik Lundqvist.

Tonight’s broadcast featured regular announcers Dave Maloney and Kenny Albert on the call, while the worst goalie in franchise history, Sieve Vagistat, was paired with “THE KING OF COMMENTARY,” Henrik Lundqvist, John Giannone, Dave Starman and the roving Michelle Gingras.

Most of the pregame show was what you’d expect – the Canucks suck and the Rangers needed to do what they were supposed to do – pick up the two-points via victory.

Ha.

As Giannone reported that the Rangers were 0-5 on the second-half of back-to-backs this season, a number that worsened to 0-6 after this shit show; then, and for whatever reason, and Maloney was pumping up the returning Zibanejad as if he was the second coming of Wayne Gretzky.

Rather than that, and instead, is what I predicted last night – he just moped around after missing the Kreider reunion and did nothing of significance.

Bookmark this:

When Zibanejad, who admittedly, has been better this season when compared to last year (that doesn’t say much either), now falls off a cliff – then you can trace it all back to the time when Sullivan gave him the boot once his BFF made his heroic return to the Big Apple.

Let’s blow through tonight’s GAME REVIEW, but if you want every second of my play-by-play commentary, then as usual, check out my Tweeter feed for all of it – and you can find such a thing here: https://x.com/NYCTheMiC


Thatcher Demko did make several key saves, but really, he wasn’t challenged that much. And to be clear, then this isn’t meant to disparage his shutout. Instead, it’s just to say that the Rangers suck ass. Photo Credit: Vancouver Canucks

FIRST PERIOD

After the useless crybaby in the #93 jersey lost the first draw of the game, Garland almost got a quick one when he tried banking a shot off of Quick’s back.

No dice there – and where it looked like the Rangers could get something going afterwards, as the road team fumbled the puck twice.

However, then once DeBrusk recovered and calmed things down – blammo – the Robertson/referee collision – and Kane’s 1-0 goal too:


Game. Set. Match.

After all, the weak and feeble Blueshirts would never recover from such a tragedy like this!

As Albert and Maloney were running down all of the Pettersson’s in Vancouver, then I just thought – “Damn, Sam Rosen would’ve had a field day with this!”

As Giannone reported that linesman Devin Berg wanted a Snickers bar, as he just wanted to crawl into a hole and hide; then the Rangers didn’t really seem interested in shooting the puck that much.

Down to 11:31 remaining, and it were actually the Canucks who got the first power-play of the game, as Trocheck had slashed David Kampf.

Schneider broke up a tap-in try, then, and with only 26-seconds remaining on the Rangers’ penalty kill, it became a successful 1-1 – as Mika drew Linus Karlsson for interference.

Following some foreplay, the Rangers’ first-and-failed power-play lasted 1:34 – and where again – stubborn and stupid Sully continued to use his five-forward attack.

As Mika couldn’t protect the point to save his life, then after going 0-1 on the PP, and the Blueshirts had only three shots on goal come 7:45 remaining.

Conversely, and the Canucks had two SOG – but of course – then they were also shooting at a staggering .500%.

After Schneider missed the net when left wide-open, then Quick made his second save of the game, on Nils Hoglander, with 5:45 to go.

Down to 5:07 remaining, and Tyler Myers blatantly slashed Cuylle – and you know the rest – including twice when Mika flailed around at the point.

End result?

0-2 on the power-play.

Right after failing for the second time and the Rangers were right back on the power-play, as with 2:15 remaining, new Nuck, Zeev Buium, had interfered with Chmelar.

You know the deal.

Two uneventful minutes later, and the Rangers’ power-play, again, against the worst team in the league, were now 0-3.

Impressive.

1-0, them, through 20.

Here’s what I said at the time:


Apparently in the eyes of the Rangers – and Gabe Perreault isn’t good enough to play for this team right now. Thankfully, Raddysh and the golden nephew-in-law are! Photo Credit: Upper Deck

SECOND PERIOD

It was at this point of the match where I made my joke about Sullivan desiring a six-forward power-play – but we’re still a period away from that.

Another thing worth mentioning from the broadcast?

Then, and during the intermission segment, and that seven-foot peckerhead, Sieve Vagistat, was going on-and-on about the Robertson/Berg collision.

Yeah, it directly led to a goal – but the real story, and why the Rangers were losing too, was the fact that their god-awful power-play was 0-3 against the worst team in the league.

Case closed.


As long-time Canucks’ fan, but present lead Rangers’ announcer today, Kenny Albert, talked about 1994 for the 1,994th zillion time on these broadcasts, then the Canucks opened with an aggressive shift to start.

After Mika missed a slap shot with 17:55 remaining, then M$G focused on this twunt crying on the bench when looking at an i-Pad.

Maloney, while gentle, kind of went off on Zibanejad here, as he felt that Mika was wasting too much time looking at an iPad – and not what was going on in front of him.

As Maloney explained, since the dry-haired and wet-eyed hippie is always looking at i-Pads after every failed shift, then, and as a result, then he’s not paying attention to the game.

I thought Maloney was spot-on here – as while I understand taking a look at a screen during a break/whistle/TV timeout – but to do this every time, and when the puck is still live?

Then you’re losing your focus.

And as Mika was (ALLEGEDLY) watching gay porn on his i-Pad?

Then this is when another new Nuck, Ohgren, pushed the score to 2-0:


This was not only the Canucks’ second goal – but their fifth shot on goal too.

From here – and this game grinded to a halt.

The bad-and-boring Blueshirts were back – and they were so painfully gruesome to watch that even Albert and Maloney were talking about everything else besides what was going on in front of them – and you couldn’t blame them for such either!

At one point, Albert brought up Rangers’ history – but he did fail to mention how this terrible franchise has omitted a ton of names from their rafters.

Come 10:33 remaining and this is when the game kind of woke up, as this is when Quick made his pair of denials on Sherwood.

After that, and the Rangers spent about 90% of the next ten-minutes of whistle-free hockey in the Canucks’ zone – but couldn’t get one puck past Demko.

You can visit my Tweeter/X page for all of the stops from this time – as I just don’t have it in me to recount all of these particular failures again!

A Boeser shot, sent into the netting with 1:59 remaining, netted us our first TV timeout of the period – and where usually – you get it at the first whistle after the ten-minute mark.

Down to 1:23 remaining and back from the TV TO and Laba tripped Buium.

The Canucks’ power-play, no better than the Rangers, didn’t score during these final 83-seconds, nor during the first 37-seconds of the third period either.

But their penalty kill soon did.

2-0, them, through forty-minutes of action.

Here’s what I said at the time:


A live look at the Rangers’ power-play.

THIRD PERIOD

After the Canucks failed on their power-play, then I thought of this:

At least Filip “CTE” Chytil (Brittle) wasn’t biting the Rangers in the ass tonight!

The curse of all alumni dooming the Blueshirts was bested on this fateful date of 12/16/2025!

Praise the hockey gods!

And for god’s sake – retire already Chytil – that is – assuming that you want to know your own name by the time you turn thirty-years of age.


The Rangers didn’t do much here – and the Canucks were more than happy to oblige this laissez-faire request.

With nothing going on, then down to 13:30 remaining and Albert plugged a new Rangers’ ticket promotion, where fans can buy three tickets and get one free – which in other words, then if you buy four tickets, you get a 25% discount – and that’s a large discount, one that could even hit up to four-figures, depending on where you sit.

Also in other words?

The Blueshirts slapped all of their season ticket holders in the face.

Not only are they running this promotion, but daily, as prior to every game, then yours truly, like many of you, get emails and texts from the organization where we are offered to buy game-day tickets at 30% off face value.

The season ticket holders suffer – and where many of them can’t afford to attend every game, nor have the time either, which in turn, leads them to sell off their tickets.

While YES, some season ticket holders scalp their tickets/sell above face value; but when the honest people, just looking to get back what they paid for a game, see these never-ending promotions and discounts – then what good is their investment with season seats?

I know this topic is a slippery slope, has many different angles and effects everyone differently; but all I can say is that I’m glad that I haven’t invested five-figures in Ranger season tickets!

And in a subject that everyone can agree on?

Then it’s PURE BLASPHEMY, A KICK TO THE GENITALS, that whenever the Rangers make the playoffs, then the organization then forces their season ticket holders to pay a hefty fee in order to attend.

In other words?

There are no perks or benefits to having Ranger season tickets at all – that is – unless you want the right to pay $2,000 in order to be first in line at the annual rip-off gimmick known as “Casino Night!”


I’m sick of this game.

Plus I covered it already up top.

Garland, shorty, 3-0.

Rangers’ power-play 0-4.

This team sucks.

Fire Drury.

Fin.


MIKA IS ASS!

Following this back-to-back set, then I’m pretty sure these losers don’t have to practice tomorrow (Wednesday).

But I’m also pretty sure that they’ll have a flight to board, as up next for these bums is a Thursday night loss in St. Louis.

And if you still think that the Rangers are playoff-bound this season, then please explain to me how you see them getting there:

The Rangers, two games in-hand over the last-place Blue Jackets, are one Columbus win away from being in dead-last in the Metrosexual division. Photo Credit: ESPN

Again, I’m not shocked, or even disappointed, as I was predicting this fate for the Rangers ever since the trade of Chris Kreider – but it doesn’t make this any easier nonetheless.

If there’s anything maddening, then it’s the fact that management/coaching just refuses change.

And in the rare times when they do make changes, it rarely works, and as a result, they won’t make another change.

The biggest thing that needs to be changed?

The general manager.

See you Thursday night following Blues v. Blueshirts.

  1. Not counting OT, the Rangers have been shut out at home for 33 of the 51 periods they have played. That’s almost 65% of the time! While it won’t happen, ticket prices should come down X amount of dollars for every period the Rangers don’t score at home. Then when they do score it could go back up that same amount. I turned the game off when it became 2-0, as we are just too pathetic to watch sometimes.

  2. With the Rangers PP dropping to 18.3%, you are now more likely to see them get shut out than score a PP goal! Watching them fail over and over again must be the new fetish for Sully. Not so fun fact, since Fox went down, the +/- for the PP is -1. Pathetic. (And that includes the PP2 scoring with Gavrikov on the ice, so really the 5-forward PP is -2).

    I’m just waiting for Edstrom to come back so at least the 4th line will be fun to watch!

    1. That’s a great stat that I wasn’t aware of. Thank you Chris and thanks for your continued visits to this little site of mine from down under!
