McIlrath On Waivers
The chances of Dylan McIlrath sticking with the Rangers took a substantial hit today with news that the Rangers have placed him on waivers with intent to assign him to Hartford. The immediate risk to his future on Broadway will of course be the possibility of another team claiming him for nothing. With an $800,000 Salary Cap […]
Kreider And Buchnevich Remain Out
Chris Kreider is working out, but is yet to return to skating with the team. Sidelined with neck spasms, the Rangers’ scoring leader has been ruled out of tonight’s match-up with the Bruins and appears unlikely to face the Hurricanes on Friday. Rookie Pavel Buchnevich did practice with the Rangers in a regular jersey and will make the […]
Rookie Goalie To Face Rangers Tonight
The Boston Bruins are struggling in net, with both their starter and backup – Tuukka Rask and Anton Khudobin – out of the line-up. Instead Boston will turn to rookie Zane McIntyre to make his first NHL start, with former first round pick – and brother of PK Subban – Malcolm Subban as the backup. […]
Why They Never Met
It’s hard to imagine why the Bruins and Rangers have taken over 40 years to meet again in the playoffs. There was of course the 2004-05 season was lost to a lockout, and neither team made the playoffs in the 1999-00 and 2000-01 seasons, and the Bruins were also out of the post-season in 1996-97, […]
Road Trip Proves Fruitful For Rangers
The Rangers will return to New York for Friday’s game 5 with a handy 3-1 series lead, and a chance to close out their first round series against the Penguins in five games. You have to go back seven years, to 2008, when they beat the Devils 4-1 in the first round to find the […]
Lundqvist Cleared To Practice
When Henrik Lundqvist was ruled out following a 6-3 win over the Florida Panthers – a game after he was initially injured – many expected the Rangers to drop back a bit from their hectic pace. The opposite has been true, largely thanks to a Rangers offense that initially stood up and scored 33 goals in a […]
John Moore Suspended 5 Games
The NHL announced today that John Moore has been suspended for five games, meaning he’ll be eligible to return to the line-up November 11th against the Pittsburgh Penguins. Moore’s hit cost him a Match Penalty in Monday Night’s 5-4 win over the Minnesota Wild, and lead to an autormatic review. With Moore out of the line-up, it […]
Time To Push The Advantage
Defenseman Dan Girardi has declared himself “good to go” for tonight’s Metropolitan Division clash with the New Jersey Devils. The Rangers are 1-3-0 against the Eastern Conference so far this season, and are 1-1-0 against teams in their own Division. The solitary win coming from last Thursday’s 2-1 shootout victory over the injury-depleted Hurricanes. They go into […]
Center Of Attention
Derek Stepan will likely miss the first month of the season due to a fractured fibula in his left leg. The Minnesota native collapsed during conditioning exercises yesterday after exacerbating an injury thought to have occurred back on September 9th during informal skates, when he blocked a shot. The news of the injury is disappointing of […]
Mixed Results In First Preseason Outing
The Rangers opened up their preseason with a 5-4 loss against the Devils at home. It was a shaky defensive performance, against a fairly weak Devils line-up that featued Scott Clemmensen and Keith Kinkaid in net, against New York’s projected opening pair of Henrik Lundqvist and Cam Talbot. It was a chance for several Rangers to push their […]
