Training Camp – Day One Notes
Day one of camp was completed and Brandon Dubinsky is now officially considered a holdout. John Tortorella let his feelings be known on the subject yesterday, clearly opposing Dubinsky’s choice to decline to participate. Certainly it would be better for all if Dubinsky was in camp, but you have to feel that Glen Sather has also contributed to this scenario with a below market offer. […]
Camp Opens Today
The Rangers will open up camp today with fifty one players, but one player will be missing. Brandon Dubinsky remains without a contract and is likely to miss today’s first day of camp. Presented with a one year qualifying offer that is less than what he earned last season, Dubinsky will now be forced to train elsewhere while the team moves on without […]
No More Drama, But…
by AveryGod Their have been some significant changes made to the New York Rangers since I last wrote an article. It’s nothing huge enough to blow your mind but significant to say the least. Nikolai Zherdev finally had his case heard for arbitration and basically won. Even though it wasn’t the reported $4.5 million he was looking […]
So Many Rumors, So Much Nonsense
by AveryGod New York Rangers sign Sam Klassen and re-sign Enver Lisin. Yet there is still no decision on Brandon Dubinsky but it’s not a surprise.

What’s the Deal?
by AveryGod What do these four players all have in common: Enver Lisin, Brian Boyle, Christopher Higgins and Ales Kotalik. They all signed new contracts to play for the New York Rangers next season and all of them were on different teams last year.

It took an extra five months, but John Tortorella finally gets his man. Mike Sullivan will join the Rangers as an Assistant Coach after finishing out his contract with the Tampa Bay Lightning. Sullivan served as an assistant under Tortorella in Tampa, and stayed with the team through last season. When Tortorella was hired last February, the […]
Rangers To Open Up In Pittsburgh
The Rangers 2009-10 regular season campaign will get under way in Pittsburgh, against Sidney Crosby and the defending Stanley Cup Champion Penguins. It’s a tough ask for a team that has lost eight straight games in Mellon Arena, all the moreso given the amount of turnover on the team. Few Ranger fans will likely enjoy […]
Preseason Schedule Announced
The Rangers have announced their preseason schedule one day ahead of the regular season schedule expected out tomorrow. After last year’s marathon effort that included two games in Europe, they will return to a regular seven game set. Things get under way on Tuesday September 15th with a home game against the Boston Bruins. The […]
Give Slats A Break
by AveryGod The New York Rangers have made a plethora of trades and signings this off season. Some have been approved by the loyal fans and some have not. One of the arguments being made is not enough youth will be on this team, and that the youngsters waiting in Hartford aren’t getting a fair […]
Let’s Get Started
by AveryGod I’ve been a Rangers fan since I was about ten years old. Right around the time when they won the Holy Grail of hockey. At the time you could say that I jumped on the band wagon but I’ve never stopped loving those blueshirts. With every up, and many downs, I still watch […]
