Erika Jayne says she was joking about PK, Dorit Kemsley breakup

Image
Erika Jayne is backtracking on her comments about Dorit and Paul “PK” Kemsley’s marriage. After PK shaded Jayne on Instagram for claiming his marriage was on the rocks, the “Pretty Mess” singer commented on his post claiming it was all in good fun. “When did you get so sensitive? You know damn well I was joking..” the reality star wrote. Erika Jayne claims she was joking about friends PK and Dorit Kemsley’s potential split. Instagram/theprettymess Over the weekend, Jayne predicted her “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” co-stars would be the next Bravolebrities to divorce during a panel at BravoCon. After being asked which relationship was headed to “Splitsville,” the 51-year-old initially dodged the question, saying she felt “bad.” However, she quickly changed her tune and marched to centerstage before revealing “Dorit and PK.” PK and Dorit have both spoken out about Jayne’s comments.

Rangers falter late in loss to NHL-leading Bruins

Image
Crippled defensively by the loss of Ryan Lindgren, the Rangers ran out of answers for the NHL-leading Bruins. After going back and forth for much of the game, responding to each of the Bruins’ first two goals, the Blueshirts’ defensive breakdowns became too much to overcome as Boston pulled away with a three-goal third period to hand the Rangers a 5-2 loss Thursday night at Madison Square Garden. The loss ended a three-game winning streak for the Rangers, while Boston improved to a head-turning 10-1 and extended its win streak to seven straight. The quick early start is even more impressive, because the Bruins are still without defenseman Charlie McAvoy and forward David Krejci. The Bruins only loss this season was in Ottawa over two weeks ago. Additionally, Boston goalie Linus Ullmark improved to 8-0-0 with a 16-save performance.

Rangers' Ryan Lindgren exits with upper-body injury

Image
The injuries are piling up for the Rangers.  Defenseman Ryan Lindgren suffered an upper-body injury in the first period Thursday night and did not return for the remainder of the Rangers’ 5-2 loss to the Bruins. It’s unclear exactly when the injury occurred, but it’s a good bet it happened during a retaliatory interference penalty on David Pastrnak, who crashed into Lindgren after the 24-year-old had shoved the Bruins winger into the boards earlier in the period.  Lindgren took at least one more shift after the hit, which gave the Rangers a power play that was ultimately unsuccessful as the Bruins put up two shorthanded shots in comparison to the home team’s zero. He finished with two hits and one blocked shot in 3:09 of ice time.  “He’s day-to-day,” Rangers coach Gerard Gallant said. “We’ll know more [Friday].”  Ryan Lindgren throws a hit during the Rangers’ loss to the Bruins.

Examining how Libor Hajek likely will fit in Rangers lineup

Image
Lineup decisions? Head coach Gerard Gallant faces a small handful in preparing for the match Sunday at the Garden against the Red Wings.  Let’s discuss:  1. If Ryan Lindgren, who left the loss Thursday to the Bruins midway through the first period with an upper body issue minutes after being blindsided by David Pastrnak, is unable to go on Sunday, Libor Hajek will replace him in the lineup.  There is no other option available under the law. The Blueshirts, who are at the NHL roster max of 23, could clear a spot by placing Vitali Kravtsov on retroactive IR, but they would not have the cap space to promote an alternate replacement even if that were a germ of a thought. They have six healthy defensemen, so the Rangers and their $200,000 of space would not qualify for an emergency exemption.  Plus, if Hajek isn’t deemed worthy of stepping in when injury strikes, why on Earth have the Rangers been protecting him from waive...

Filip Chytil hoping to return to Rangers' lineup vs. Red Wings

Image
One injury problem looks to be solved for the Rangers. After he missed nearly two weeks with a suspected concussion, Filip Chytil said following practice Saturday that he feels ready to play on Sunday against the Red Wings. “We would all like to make sure I’m ready and did what I could today,” Chytil said. “Can’t wait for tomorrow’s game.” Chytil, who missed six straight games, participated in practice ahead of the loss to the Bruins on Thursday, but continued to sit. He seemed to be on his way back last week when he participated in practice, but he left the ice early after suffering a setback. Rangers coach Gerard Gallant was not as committal as Chytil with regard to playing tomorrow. The coach sounded optimistic, however, saying Chytil looked good in practice. Filip Chytil Getty Images “He’s a huge part of our team,” Gallant said. “Fil’s a big part of our group, and we really miss him when he’s out, so obviously it makes a big diff...

Gerard Gallant already against the clock to find Rangers' identity

Image
On the day it got an hour earlier for New Yorkers, it started to become a little bit late for the Rangers.  Yes, I know. The season is 13 games old. But I’m not quite sure whether the modifier should be “only” 13 games or “already” 13 games.  Because just about one-third into 2022-23, the Blueshirts have won fewer than half their contests, the record dropping to 6-4-3 following Sunday’s 3-2 overtime defeat at the Garden to the Red Wings after carrying a 2-0 lead into the second period.  I’ll tell you what though, it surely was not too early for head coach Gerard Gallant to drop an inconspicuous Chris Kreider to the fourth line with Ryan Carpenter and Julien Gauthier in a series of line changes in the third period. Kreider’s feet just aren’t moving. This was as dramatic a move as Gallant has made in his regular-season 95-game tenure behind the New York bench. It has probably been a long time coming.  “He deserved to be ...
