Life In The Fasth Lane
by Jamy Baron The NHL draft is quite the thing. Based on where you are drafted, the hype either begins very quickly or does not begin at all. In Jesper Fasth’s case, there was absolutely no hype and he was seen as just another tweener. For those of you who look at a late round draft […]
Rangers Staaled
A tough start to the season just got a whole lot tougher for the Rangers. The loss of Marc Staal for the beginning of the season to headaches, neck pain or concussion-like symptoms – depending on which story you prefer at any point – suddenly makes the defense look a whole lot less dependable. Yes it’s true […]
Avery, Bickel and Bell clear waivers
The final three Rangers players placed on waivers have cleared as of 12:00pm Eastern today per Pat Leonard on Twitter. All three players can now be assigned to the Connecticut Whale ahead of this weekend’s season opener against Adirondack.

Weise Clamed by Canucks
The Rangers took a risk in trying to send down Dale Weise to Connecticut, and the gamble didn’t pay off. The Vancouver Canucks have claimed the 23 year old forward, putting an end to a brief career as a Ranger. The Winnipeg, MB native had already been passed over in two consecutive drafts by the time the […]
Avery Waived
Per Larry Brooks on Twitter, Sean Avery has been placed on waivers, This means Erik Christensen will get the 13th spot and Avery will be reassigned to Connevticut if he clears by noon tomorrow. The move is moderately surprising given Christensen’s so-so form in the preseason, but Tortorella and Avery have never seemed to be able to get on the […]

The King And His Rangers Come Out On Top
by Jamie Baron It all started with a huge standing ovation for Henrik Lundqvist. He was given the keys to the city and boy has he earned it. The Rangers came out on top today against Henrik’s old team Frolunda, 4-2. The game started out emotional, but as it progressed it became more and more of […]
Today Is The King’s Day
by Jamy Baron Today is the day we’ve all been waiting for. Henrik Lundqvist returns home to Sweden to play there for the first time since he left Frolunda to come to New York. Today will be an extremely emotional day for Henrik as he will be squaring off against his old teammates and will have many […]
Line-up Announced For Preseason Opener
John Tortorella announced the roster for tomorrow night’s preseason opener against the Devils, and as promised it’s a team with several young players, and few veterans. Surprisingly perhaps, Henrik Lundqvist will get his first action of the season backstopping a roster that features just eight players who played for the Rangers last year. Backing up Lundqvist in […]
Chemistry Is A Great Thing To Have
by Jamy Baron It may just be training camp, but certain players have really shown up to play and have not lost a beat since April. These players include Ryan Callahan and Brandon Dubinsky. Other players have improved greatly and are displaying a high level of determination. Those players include Marian Gaborik and Wojtek Wolski. Today, the Rangers continued their scrimmages […]
