After the euphoria of seeing the Rangers draw second pick in the 2019 NHL draft, the first time the team will pick in the top three since the introduction of the entry draft in 1969, old fears have begun to resurface  more

A little over the halfway point, this years version of the "Lose For Hughes" Rangers aren't doing poorly enough at this time to get a top 2 pick. This Rangers team still has too much talent to be a bottom feeder and will remain in the "not good enough for the playoffs" but "not a bottom 3 loser".  With Lundqvist between the pipes, there is always a chance to win on most nights. With vets like Hayes, Kreider, Zuccarello, Staal, and Zibanejad to name a few.....these Rangers have alittle too much to fall to the bottom. That's why it's time to make some trades. GM Gorton is in his office because he made a minor trade dealing Cole Schneider for Connor Brickley. Now to make the bigger moves  more

The Rangers have struggled of late, going 1-4-1 in their last six as they suffered through the loss of several forwards.  As gamely as the team played, it's been clear that the likes of Timothy Gettinger, Vinni Lettieri and Steve Fogarty are still works in progress rather than regular NHLers who can contribute  more

The one-game experiment of playing Brendan Smith on the wing has ended following last night's 3-0 loss to the Senators.  Vinni Lettieri is set to be recalled from Hartford in time to face the Monteal Canadiens tomorrow night in Montreal  more

Veteran defensenman Adam McQuaid is nearing return, and could be available in two weeks according to head coach David Quinn.  McQuaid has been out of the line-up since October 25th when he suffered an undisclosed lower-body injury that has kept him from playing, and he is yet to resume practicing with the team  more

The Rangers matched their season high of five goals, though this time they came away with a win.  Previously they had lost 5-8 to Carolina in the third game of the season, incidentally in Alexandar Georgiev's only other start.  While New York have scored 10 goals with Georgiev in net, they have managed just 10 in the seven games where Henrik Lundqvist started  more

The win was the first for David Quinn in his fourth game, and leaves the team 1-3-0 after four games, making him the 35th coach to record a victory behind the bench of the Blueshirts.  He'll need four more to catch Tom Webster who went 5-9-4 in a short 18 game stint that was cut short by illness  more

More news out of practice today, and it looks as if Fredrik Claesson might get his first chance as a New York Ranger tomorrow night.  Head Coach David Quinn made some adjustments on deffense that could lead to both Pionk and Shattenkirk sitting out the game against the Sharks  more

On Sunday Kevin Shattenkirk saw just 7:29 of ice time in the 8-5 loss to the Carolina Hurricanes.  In that time, he still managed to be on the ice for both the first and seventh Carolina goals, two relatively important periods of the game which saw the Canes get back into the game and then take a two goal lead  more
