Drury To Stay
The Rangers will not be buying out the last year of Chris Drury‘s contract after all. Today was the last day in which the Rangers could initiate the process by placing him on unconditional waivers, and they needed to do it by 12:00pm Eastern. According to @stevezipay, @NYDNRangers and AGrossRecord that did not happen. The move means the Rangers will be […]
Off-season Notes
It never is fun to lose, and it always takes me a while to get back into the groove of things after the Rangers season ends. So apologies certainly for having just the minimal updates so far. First up, we’ve updated the OTG Draft page with details for the June 24-25 NHL Entry Draft to be hosted […]
Whale Tie Series With 3-1 Win
After dropping their first two games in Portland, the Connecticut Whale have tied up their best of seven series with the Pirates thanks to goals by Chad Kolarik, John Mitchell and the recently returned Mats Zuccarello. The Whale lead from the 16:32 mark of the first period right through the end, and allowed just a modest twenty shots on […]
Gilroy Expected To Get Discounted
Larry Brooks of the New York Post reports today that pending RFA defenseman Matt Gilroy is expected to get a multi-year contract offer, at a significantly discounted rate from the league mandated qualifying offer he would need to get in order for the Rangers to retain his rights. In Gilroy’s case, he’d be due a one year $2.1M offer […]
Former Ranger Sergei Zubov Retires
Former Ranger Sergei Zubov officially hung up his skates after a professional career that spanned twenty two seasons and a hip injury that kept him out all of this season. Drafted by the Rangers in the fifth round of the 1990 NHL Entry draft, Zubov went on to play 165 games and win a Cup for New […]
Biron Back On The Ice
Injured goaltender Martin Biron was cleared to skate today for the first time since suffering a broken collar bone back on February 28th. The Rangers’ backup netminder skated in full gear, but did not face any shots. There’s still no timetable for him to return to the Rangers line up, and there’s no expectation he’d get to […]
Boudreau Bashes Blueshirts
As you can imagine there’s plenty of excitement in Rangerland today following yesterday’s 3-2 win over the Capitals, not so much on the Capitals side. Head Coach Bruce Boudreau went on the attack, calling out the officiating, MSG and Marc Staal among others. Staal in particular got attention for his hit on Mike Green moments before Alexander Ovechkin scored […]
Post Season Schedule Announced
The last time the Rangers and Capitals met in the playoffs, was in 2009 when the Rangers blew a 3-1 series lead to lose in Game 7. It was John Tortorella’s first and only playoff series as Rangers’ head coach, and he’ll be behind the bench again as the Rangers and Capitals open up the […]
Slip Sliding Away.
The New York Rangers let another one slip away with nary a whimper, as a consistent on again off again roller coaster season continued. A roller coaster season with very low highs, and very high lows. A season of work that is headed for a pre playoff flush. This team struggles to score. Last season, with […]
Just One Minor Deal
The 2011 Trade Deadline has passed, and the Rangers limited their dealings with just the addition of 26 year old center John Mitchell from the Toronto Maple Leafs in exchange for a 2012 seventh round pick. Going into the day, there was plenty of press about the possibility of Brad Richards joining the team from Dallas. As it turned […]
