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 […]
Banged Up Rangers Take On Caps
The Rangers are in D.C. tonight to play the fifth placed Washington Capitals. Neither team has been terribly consistent this season, though both are coming off wins. The Blueshirts for their part took care of the Atlanta Thrashers 3-2 in a shootout Saturday night, battling back from a late 2-1 deficit with both Brandon Prust and Dan Girardi injured […]

More Cuts As Rangers Trim 11
The Rangers trimmed their roster by a further eleven players today, bringing the number remaining in camp to just 27, including injured forwards Chris Drury and Vinny Prospal. The cuts marked the end of contract bids for defensemen Alexei Semenov, Garnet Exelby and try-out Brandon Manning. At forward, the biggest surprise was perhaps Mats Zuccarello Aasen going to down […]
Wade Ridding
Wade Redden will be placed on waivers in a little under an hour, practically ending one of the worst contracts in NHL history. The 33 year old and his massive $6.5M annual cap hit and four remaining years, is not expected to be claimed, and he will be assigned to the Hartford Wolf Pack. The widely […]

The moves mean there are 38 […]
