Drury’s Dangerous Driving
The circumstances for Chris Drury’s ascension to General Manager and President were quick and somewhat unexpected. It started with THAT game against the Capitals on May 3rd, 2001 which saw Tom Wilson embarrass the Rangers on their home ice. Two days later owner Jim Dolan had fired both President John Davidson and General Manager Jeff […]
Jacob Troubles
The drama is high in New York as the Rangers navigate a potentially tricky situation with team captain Jacob Trouba. Reports emerged over the weekend that the Rangers were looking to move the defenseman to the Detroit Red Wings, but Trouba’s no-trade clause may prove to be a significant obstacle. Complicating matters further is Trouba’s personal life, including his wife’s medical residency and their young child. With tensions rising between Trouba and the front office, the situation remains in flux. One thing is certain: the Rangers will need to navigate this situation carefully to avoid any long-term fallout.
Bonino To Be Placed On Waivers
Forward Nick Bonino is expected to be put on waivers today, and will likely be sent down to Hartford after a tough stretch of games for the Rangers. With the team as a whole struggling, Bonino still stands out with the team worst (for players with more than 1 game) Corsi For% of 37.76 when […]
Laviolette’s First Call Out
After a disorganized and largely ineffective effort against the Islanders, Head Coach Peter Laviolette called out the Rangers lack of effort and failure to adhere to some simple basics.

Drury’s Message Is Clear
Speaking yesterday at the opening of the Prospect Camp, Chris Drury talked about the need to play in all three zones, and the need to play that way throughout the regular season and into the playoffs. It echoes the comments made by incoming head coach Peter Laviolette over the Summer. Drury further elaborated that he […]
Alexis – Play “I Walk The Line”
This past Tuesday, Larry Brooks wrote in the New York Post that head coach Peter Laviolette needs to the right thing by former number one pick, and by that he means move Lafreniere to the right wing. It’s not without merit, after all the Rangers have both Chris Kreider (4 years NMC converting to a […]
The Only Way Panarin Is Leaving the Rangers Is…
The Rangers announced today that they have come to terms with 24 year old defenseman Brandon Scanlin on a one year $775K deal. The agreement comes three days ahead of Friday’s scheduled arbitration hearing that was set after Scanlin became the only eligible Ranger to file for arbitration.
There’s No Business Like Show Business
Chris Drury was apparently given a proposition he couldn’t refuse: adding Patrick Kane to an already very skilled line-up. The move came after the former Blackhawk used his NMC leverage to force Chicago GM Kyle Davidson into negotiating with one team – the New York Rangers. It’s been a bit of a circus in the last week, what […]
Is This The Year?
Last season exceeded our expectations by some margin. 52 wins, career years for a number of Rangers – including 52 goals by Chris Kreider, along with the Vezina winning performance in net from Igor Shesterkin, were all components of a very enjoyable campaign last season. Then a post season run that saw them ultimately exit in the […]
