Bye Bye Nikolai
According to Larry Brooks in today’s New York Post, the Rangers could walk away from any arbitration award that Zherdev might get. The Rangers qualified Zherdev at $3.25M to retain his rights, but the Ukrainian born winger filed for salary arbitration. If the arbiter should award more than the qualifying offer, the team may elect to […]
Active Day For Rangers
The Rangers opened up the 2009-10 season with a splash Wednesday, signing free agent forwards Marian Gaborik and Donald Brashear and bidding two thirds of their checking unit adieu with the departures of Colton Orr (Maple Leafs) and Fredrik Sjostrom (Flames). The moves followed Tuesday’s trade of Scott Gomez to the Montreal Canadiens, in a week that has certainly changed the tone of the organization. According to reports, Gaborik has signed a five-year deal worth $37.5M, […]
Avery In The News
As the teams prepare for tonight’s potential series deciding Game 5 down in Washington D.C., the talk in the papers once again is Sean Avery.

Game 3 Tonight At The Garden
The playoffs shift to the Garden tonight and the Rangers will be looking to try and take a 3-0 lead in the series with the Capitals. It’s not an easy task, and no one is celebrating just yet.

The Rangers edged closer to a playoff spot last night with a 3-1 defeat of the Montreal Canadiens combined with a 2-1 loss by the Florida Panthers. The combined results mean that the Rangers’ magic number is now just two. They also pulled within a point of the Montreal Canadiens for 7th spot, with both teams having […]
Loss Puts Rangers In A Tough Spot
If you were one of those – like me – who stayed home yesterday to watch the Rangers play the Bruins, you could be forgiven if you fell asleep before the excitement late in the third period of a 1-0 loss. The Bruins did their best impression of the Devils teams under Jacques Lemaire, sending barely […]
It Doesn’t Get Easier
Two days after having put their playoff destiny in the hands of other teams, the Rangers find themselves back in control. Florida’s 3-1 loss to the Atlanta Thrashers means New York can clinch a playoff spot if they get seven points out of the last possible eight. Regardless of the mathematics, the Rangers still have […]
