Avery Out On Thursday
by Jamy Baron It seems that this week all we’ve been hearing about is, Avery, Avery, and more Avery. Sean Avery officially cleared waivers yesterday afternoon and while many were hoping for him to be playing on Thursday, that will not be the case. Coach Tortorella stated that he liked the line-up against the San Jose Sharks […]
Avery Clears Waivers, Rupp Could Face Surgery
Sean Avery has officially cleared re-entry waivers, and is available to the Rangers should they look to use him Thursday against the Ducks. Whether he actually does get to play remains to be seen, given the Rangers’ 5-2 win over the Sharks last night and Tortorella’s tendency to keep winning combinations together. For Avery to get […]
Avery On His Way Back
Reports of his demise apparently were premature. Sean Avery has reportedly been placed on re-entry waivers and will be available to the team Thursday should he clear re-entry waivers. Given Avery’s statement that he wanted to play no other place than New York, it would seem unlikely that he’ll be claimed – but well have to […]
Bell to debut, Wolski a healthy scratch
Brendan Bell is set to makr his first appearance as a Rnger tonight, and it will be his first NHL game since April 11th, 2009 when he played for the Ottawa Senators. He was a -3 in that game and you’d have to go back almost another month, to March 17th, 2009 for his last […]
Yo Gabba Gaborik
by Jamy Baron Zero goals and an injury three games into the season. This describes Marian Gaborik at the beginning of last season.

by Jamy Baron We are three games into the regular season and the Rangers have sent down Mats Zuccarello to the Connecticut Whale. Kris Newbury has been called up to replace him on the roster. Averaging only 8:26 in ice time, this demotion is necessary for Zucc’s development. He isn’t going to get any better by playing 4th line minutes […]

More Line Changes?
The Rangers had a day off yesterday, but were back at practice today albeit with a few exceptions. Sean Avery was officially assigned to the Connecticut Whale early this week, and reported for duty yesterday – Bergen Record. Although, not exactly. Avery has a shoulder injury – New York Post – and while the MRI was negative, he’ll get […]
Rangers back in New York
The Rangers are back in New York, and it sounds like John Tortorella is much happier having put the European trip behind him. With a full week between games, he’s getting a chance to run the team through practice this week, a luxury he didn’t have as much in a hectic schedule to start the […]
Kreider Breaks The Ice
by Jamy Baron The Rangers were desperate to sign Chris Kreider this past summer, but Kreider wasn’t having it. He values his education dearly and getting his degree is very important to him and his family. He decided to return to Boston College for his Junior year instead of cashing in with the Rangers. Many people were […]
