Peters suspended, Rangers move forward
-
- March
- 12
Update, 1:33 p.m: The Rangers just announced they’ve agreed to terms with forward Justin Soryal.
A startling admission: I don’t know who that is. Apparently he’s in the OHL playing for Peterborough, and has 15 goals and 22 assists in 56 games. He was a free agent, so I assume that means he wasn’t drafted. That’s OK, Justin. Neither was I.
It’s never a good reflection on an officiating crew when an infraction that goes unpunished during a game leads to a suspension. That, however, is what happened to Andrew Peters, who was suspended one game for his punch from the bench on Colton Orr on Monday night in Buffalo.Tom Renney didn’t have much to say about the news when asked about it now, and really, what can he say? The Rangers and Sabres are done for the season, and won’t likely meet again until 2008-09. So in other words: a lot of good it does his team now.
Meanwhile, some notes from practice:
Look, these points are crucial as well seeing how the Rangers are now within reach of home-ice advantage. But it’s also time to start thinking about having Shanahan refreshed for the postseason. And to be honest, given Shanahan’s even strength play of late, Prucha wouldn’t be much of a drop-off at all.
More in a bit…

HAHA
Sam – Is it true that Prucha and Dawes have to hold hands on windy days so the don’t blow away??
Here’s a good mid-week laugh…

doodie – did you really figure that out?
Check YouTube and all of the Justin Soryal fights. There is one he had with Marc Staal and a pretty nifty “three rounder” with some guy named Bobby Davey. Soryal can throw them!
Doodie – So when is the answer coming? I’m waiting with bated breath!
Beer Me! – WTH does that mean anyway?

I think the coaching staff did a great job of developing Orr into a good hockey player.
Boston gave up on him.
Remember when Dale Purinton tried to gauge his eyes out !
Jump Off A Funkin Bridge?
wow doodie. I am genuinly impressed.
my bad. meant salty
Good work salty, even if that is wrong it sure as hell works well there!!!
Yes, it was Jump Off A F’n Bridge. But it was just in good fun.
I’m surprised James Wisniewski only got a 1game susp.
anyone know when the NYR arrived or are arriving in FL? That makes a diference in my opinion. They do poorly there, probably because they get a lil too much R & R before the game and then back to back isnt ever easy.
I know this is kinda old, but question about the Peters/Orr call. They both got 10 minute misconducts. Now I know the rule book pretty well but I’m not sure about how this plays out for the shootout. I’m thinking if they get a 10 minute misconduct, they can participate in the shootout where as if they get a game they cannot participate.
Maybe McCreary and the other ref thought they would hit them both with 10s so they could both get back in the lineup for the shootout? If I’m wrong then someone tell me but thats the only reason why I could see that happening.
Either way Orr and Peters should’ve gotten 2 for roughing and Peters should’ve been kicked out. This suspension kinda evens that up a bit.
Here’s an article from a perspective outside the NY area.

Sigh.
I can’t see a reason to put Prucha and Hollweg in the same game. Maybe Renney is thinking one of them in each game, with Sjostrom playing in place of Shanahan in the game that Hollweg plays. I can’t see a use to put Hollweg in, though. There’s obviously no need for him anymore, especially in the playoffs, unless Orr goes down, I guess. But let’s not think about that scenario.
Spider its called stmusic.org
it’s a private bit torrent tracker for high quality music rips of all genres in a variety of formats.
However, you are expected to keep up a certain ratio to maintain the account, which can be tricky. As much as you download, you are expected to upload as well. Are you familiar with bit torrents?
I put up some of his fights to but it is awaiting moderation…
I see the Rangers turned down an Avery for Steve Bernier trade proposal. Great, Avery his shopping himself elsewhere and Bernier is a young stud (22) with a scoring touch and musle. Too bad he’s not 34, Sather would have gone for the deal.
SPIDER
Its good to be back, and yeah i was caught up in schoolwork, and my computer was caught up in some sort of virus. My comp is such a Jarko Rutuu.
and my computer was caught up in some sort of virus.
........
and it’s also probably hard to keep up with the blog when you’ve gone blind and grown hair on your palms huh?
jk we missed ya kid
Beer Me! – Good article.
Salty – Yeah. I wouldn’t go for it. Thanks for the information.
Agravaine – Try putting up only one link at a time. That usually works.
Buckmeister – I’m glad they turned it down, as long as Avery re-signs here next season. what can Bernier do for us this season, really?
while i think in highsight the bernier trade that sather didnt make is going to look horrible, for this season at least, we couldnt make the deal, we need averys intangibles, youve all seen that our record just doesnt compare to when avery is in the lineup and when hes out
Whatever happened to Roman Lyashenko? Can they bring him up without him having to pass through waivers?
Roman Lyashenko is dead. He would have to pass through a lot more than waivers.
Jeremy,
Sorry, about Lyashenko, well this is from 2003

Beer, I got it, alright,
Some more dead players:

Oh, and I’d still take Lyashenko any day over Hollweg.
hey salty-just went over to the stmusic site but i need one of your invite codes. pretty please?? thanks.
email at ryanloral@gmail.com
i know everything about torrents so not to worry.
alan ryan,
keep an eye out later on tinight
The last few posts have been pretty damn funny!
Wasn’t Roman listening to the Counting Crows when he died?
This is a tasteless joke just in case I offend anyone.
Truth be told, Yenner had a point that Lyashenko probably did off himself as a result of the NYR organization. That’s not to say he wasn’t disturbed regardless, but that was probably the hardest thing for him to deal with..being stuck in an organization that refuses to let you play. Kind of like Tommy Pock, who would/could pretty easily be in the NHL on another team.
Salty,
the way I remmeber hearing about it, someone suspected it was a murder made to look like a suicide. I’m not sure, but I wouldn’t be surprised if Pock and Hutchinson went elsewhere when their contracts expired. Pock cleared waivers to be sent down but there is no way he would clear them coming up, and if I were him I wouldn’t trust to remain in the organization
“Roman Lyashenko is dead. He would have to pass through a lot more than waivers.”
His death was sad but this is one of the funniest lines I read in along time!
Is there any way we could all email the NHL about Mcreary. This isn’t the first time he has done this to us. You look at the NBA and you gotta wonder.
Salty, are you trying to say that Pock should be on suicide watch?
“Roman Lyashenko is dead. He would have to pass through a lot more than waivers.â€
LOL. I shouln’t laugh at that, but it’s to funny. But seriously, its not funny.
Hey everyone, first time posting but I have read Sam’s blog pretty regularly for about a year now. I should mention that I am Bruins fan, but since my friend(Callahan) was drafted and started playing for the Rangers I have been following them closely and must admit I have become a pretty big Rangers fan. Anyways, whoever said Orr should be replaced by Prucha come playoff time is nonsense. I dont know about anyone else, but I have really been impressed with Orr’s play lately, and maybe its just me but his skating seems to be improving almost every game. I was not a big fan of the hollweg-betts-orr line and wanted to throw the remote through the tv everytime they saw the ice late in the 3rd in a close game. I like sjostrom on that line over hollweg and I think the team is much better without hollweg in the lineup. I agree with resting Shanny and putting prucha in his place, but unless prucha explodes offensively, I see no place for him in the lineup.
I guess the daylight savings time has not been added to the blog yet.
the rangers are 21st in times shorthanded, and they are 8th in times on the PP.
so, saying the refs are screwing the rangers is just ludicrous. they have 326 PPs, and only 296 times shorthanded.
while certain calls may look bad, overall they are getting a decent break from refs.
all fans of all teams complain about the refs, but the stats show the real picture.
THAT is one reason why Renney does not go ballistic. he knows they are, on balance, getting a fair deal.
Hey Comrades,
First season with NHL center-ice ONLINE package…Love it but…does anyone know how Playoff schedule works?? It said “selected” games….1 a week? 1 a night? all but those on Versus?
Peters is a punk
all games in the first 2 rounds except those on nbc and versus
Thank you SL!
Comrade Spiderpig; Whats this daylight savings time you speak of?
Greatest line I ever read on any blog and I apologize for not remembering which teams blog I was on today during work ( boss came around corner I had to quick “x” out)
Some hockey fan guys were arguing about some NHL teams strategy for the stretch run;
“Who gives a F@!$ about that? All I want is a school girl with a laser stick/sword. Is that too much to ask?”
While trying to determine who is starting for the Blackhawks tonight, I came across this article that says the Rangers are most likely going to face the Detroit Red Wings in the potential outdoor game next season. http://www.dailyherald.com/story/?id=151884&src=149
Comrade – Time changed in most of the US (I think not Arizona) and Canada to be an hour later so there is more sunlight later in the day.
