The Rangers were bad opening night, and really there was little to take from it.  Igor Sheshterkin missed saves you'd expect him to make, and the offense, defense and special teams all looked ill prepared for the start of the season.  Jack Johnson's penalty less than two minutes into the game set the tone for what would end up being eight times shorthanded on the night, with the Isles converting two of those chances  more

With the departure of the likes of Jesper Fast, Greg McKegg and Marc Staal, it was obvious the Rangers were going to need some new faces on the PK.  Who those faces will be have been revealed as the team closes out their camp ahead of tomorrow night's season opener against the New York Islanders  more

There's been much speculation over whether the Rangers will announce a captain this year after having been without one since the departure of Ryan McDonagh three years ago.  The answer: Not yet  more

The NHL season kicks off tomorrow night, and the Rangers get under way a day later when they host the New York Islanders at MSG.  With a final practice yesterday, the team made their decisions and settled on the 22 players who will be on the roster to begin the season  more

This past week the NHL Board of Governors met to get an update on the league's plans for the 2020-21 season. While we didn't get any decisions - and there's a lot to be figured out and agreed upon in the interim - Gary Bettman's position appears to be a 48-56 game schedule that would allow the NHL to wrap up the season in enough time to realign to a normal October start for 2021-22  more

If you look at the team that lost 0-3 in the qualifying round back in August, you would see just a handful of changes.  Gone are the two longest tenured Rangers in Henrik Lundqvist (buy-out) and Marc Staal (trade), as well as the fourth longest in Jesper Fast (free agency)  more

More signings today, with the Rangers announcing that they have agreed to terms with their only two minor league RFAs, forward Gabriel Fontaine and defenseman Darren Raddysh.  Both players were signed to one year $700K contracts, and will likely spend the year in the AHL, if and when that league starts play again  more

And just like that, the Rangers sign two of their four main RFAs - apologies to Darren Raddysh - and both for reasonable two year contracts.  Sure they're both a little on the high side, but with the shorter term and speed at which they got done, you can expect a little inflation  more

It's been over 11 years since the Rangers last went to arbitration, ultimately walking away from an award to Nikolai Zherdev, who became an unrestricted free agent after the decision.  This year the team faces the daunting prospect of reaching deals with four players, with first up Tony DeAngelo on October 20th, perhaps being the most difficult  more
