Wednesday - April 13th
According to Larry Brooks in the New York Post, Vitali Kravtsov and the Rangers have patched things over and that plans are being made for Kravtsov to come to New York over the Summer to prepare for next season's training camp.
The picture painted in the article presents a very different story from the ones that came out after the young Russian departed North America following his demotion from training camp last September.
It's hard to believe that things have been mended so well on both sides of the argument at this point, so we'll have to wait and see where this goes. It would still seem likely that a trade could be made at or around the Entry Draft (July 7th an 8th), or ahead of the July 13th free agency period.
If Kravtsov is still a Ranger at that point, then I think chances are much higher that he'll be coming to camp, but I remain skeptical at this point.

Igor Shesterkin has been strong against Carolina |
Posted by Toby Ivey ≡ 10:08:31 AM - May 25, 2022
Going into this series with the Hurricanes, I expected the Rangers to lose out to a more experienced team. As it turns out, I have once again underestimated this team, who will return to Raleigh for Game 5 with the series tied at 2-2. Each team has won their respective games at home, and scoring on the road has been a challenge, with just three goals scored by the visitors in the first four games. It's a problem that the Rangers will have to solve if they hope to advance to an Eastern Conference match-up with the Tampa Bay Lightning. Still, the Rangers have to fancy their chances, having come within 150 seconds of winning Game 1, and then losing Game 2 on an unforced error with a shorthanded goal. They were also able to control Carolina's offense for much of the game, though struggled to find their own in either of the first two contests. Read more >>

No Quit In New York - For Sure
|
Posted by Toby Ivey ≡ 1:01:20 PM - May 16, 2022
|
On the surface, the Rangers had one of the most successful regular seasons in franchise history. They recorded the second most wins - 52 and third most points - 110, of any Ranger team to play over the course of their 93 season history. Their goalie was nominated for both the Hart Trophy and Vezina, the team finished second for the William Jennings - awarded to the team with the lowest goals against, and Gerard Gallant had consideration to be among the best for the coach in the NHL more

Meet Me In New York
|
Posted by Toby Ivey ≡ 7:54:27 PM - May 13, 2022
|
The playoff motto for the Rangers this year is "No Quit In New York", but few would have predicted this team coming back from consecutive 0-2 deficits in Games 5 and 6 to force a Game 7 in New York Sunday. Sure the Rangers have come back from 3-1 series deficits before, back in 2014 - against Pittsburgh, and then again in 2015 - against Washington, but to do so after giving up seven goals in each of Games 3 and 4 is pretty remarkable more

Game 2 - Rangers Bounce Back

Posted by Toby Ivey ≡ 11:19:39 AM - May 6, 2022

New York capitalized on Pittsburgh playing their third string netminder to take Game 2 last night by a score of 5-2. It was a welcome result after Tuesday's disappointing end in Game 1, and avoids going to Pittsburgh in a 2-0 series hole more

Penguins and Rangers Deal With Injuries
|
Posted by Toby Ivey ≡ 2:23:17 PM - May 5, 2022
|
Already without starting netminder Tristan Jarry, who suffered a bone fracture in his foot in mid-April, the Penguins will head into tonight's Game 2 without their second choice. Casey DeSmith left the second OT against the Rangers in Game 1, and appears to be out for at least the rest of the first round with an undisclosed lower body injury. DeSmith is listed day to day by the team, but is expected to play no further part in this series more

Anticipation Meets Reality
|
Posted by Toby Ivey ≡ 12:23:20 PM - May 4, 2022
|
Most pundits and even a lot of fans, looked at this series against the Pittsburgh Penguins as pretty much a win for the Rangers. The Rangers had won the season series 3-1, with all three wins coming in the last six weeks of the season. By contrast, the Penguins had limped through the second half of the season, had lost their starting goaltender, and had a core that was into their mid 30s or beyond more

Experience v Youth

Posted by Toby Ivey ≡ 4:05:54 PM - May 2, 2022

Experience, depth, defense, goaltending, physical play...there's a lot of things that pundits attribute success in the playoffs to. The Stanley Cup can be won in as few as 16 games, or as many as 28. It's a grind, a war of attrition to see who will have the opportunity to hoist Lord Stanley's Cup at the end of it more

Rest For Some

Posted by Toby Ivey ≡ 8:18:55 AM - April 27, 2022

With the Rangers no longer able to claim first place, Gerard Gallant says that the plan for the remaining two games, will be to rotate some of the regulars out for some rest. Both Artemi Panarin and Andrew Copp will top that list, with both players having left the bench midway through the second period last night in the 4-3 loss to Carolina more
