Kreider Is Ready To Shun The Non-Believers
by Jamy Baron Chris Kreider has all the tools necessary to become a bonafide power forward in the NHL. He has size, standing tall at 6″3′ and weighing in at around 220 pounds. He is without a doubt, the fastest player in the NCAA and could easily challenge NHLers for fastest player in the NHL when […]
Hockey is upon us!
by Jamy Baron As summer comes to an end, so too does the long wait for Rangers hockey to start up again. I don’t know about you, but I’ve been waiting since the day the Rangers lost to Washington, very impatiently to say the least. After an exciting off-season that included signings such as Brad Richards and Mike […]
Carton Continues To Embarrass Himself
by Jamy Baron As you may or may not know, Brad Richards was on “Boomer and Carton” this morning. What was supposed to be an interview, was instead a disgrace. Craig Carton, who notoriously hates hockey, could not stop himself from being Carton. Not only did he disrespect Richards with the non-stop “joking” that he put on […]

Numbers Game
Brad Richards will wear number 19 for the Rangers when they kick off their season in Stockholm this October.

The change […]
Dupont Departs
Rangers continue their busy start to 2011-12 season with a minor league move, sending center Brodie Dupont to the Nashville Predators in exchange for right wing Andreas Thuresson. A third round pick in 2006, Dupont got a surprise call-up last year and played a limited role on the fourth line in one appearance with the Rangers. The 6-2 […]
The Rich Get Richards
It appears to be all but official. The Rangers and Brad Richards have reportedly agreed to a nine year, $60M contract making Richards the third highest Cap hit on the team, but due to front loading, he’ll make the majority of his money in the first five years. The contract is the longest ever given by the […]
Fed Reserved

Ruslan Fedotenko will return to the Rangers for a second season, inked to a one year, $1.4M contract. The deal is $400K more than last season, when Fedotenko came […]
