Day: July 16, 2026

It’s only been a day since we found out that the Rangers would open their season in Boston on Tuesday September 29th, and then their home opener against the Tampa Bay Lighting just two days later. Perhaps they – meaning the NHL – could have spread the news out a little longer to give us something to talk about in these hot weeks in between the heady days of July 1st and training camp in September.

Well anyway, that’s not to be, and we now have the full schedule. Did I mention it’s 84 games this year? First time since THAT year in 1993-94, when the Rangers went all the way to the Stanley Cup. Very hard to see that repeating this year, but hey…hopefully they’ll be a little better this time around.
