Rissmiller Clears
Off day for the Rangers, with their next game not until Friday, when they visit the Columbus Blue Jackets in Ohio. One player who will be unlikely to make the trip is Patrick Rissmiller who cleared waivers just minutes ago. The Rangers are now free to assign the UFA forward to Hartford if they so desire. Rissmiller […]
Rissmiller On Waivers
The Rangers have placed Patrick Rissmiller on waivers, and if he is not claimed he’ll likely be reassigned to the Hartford Wolf Pack. The move would free up just under $1 million in cap room if he is indeed sent down. Rissmiller made just his second start for the Rangers last night, in their 2-1 loss to the visiting Dallas Stars. […]
Patrick Rissmiller Back In
The Rangers have apparently signed undrafted left wing, Devin DiDiomete to an NHL contract. From his statistics, the 5-10, 200lb DiDiomete looks as if he’s a player who players with a bit of an edge and can chip in the odd goal. Patrick Rissmiller will be back in the line-up tonight against the Dallas Stars (7:00pm – MSG) at the […]
Looking To Rebound
The Rangers look to rebound from their first loss of the season Wednesday against the Sabres, when they host the visiting Maple Leafs tonight (7:00pm – MSG). Lauri Korpikoski will sit out with an arm injury, and will be replaced by Tom Fritsche in the line-up. Petr Prucha goes back to the bench to allow Nigel Dawes another shot after missing the last […]
Looking To Extend Streak
New York has gotten off to a fast start and will go for a franchise best 6-0 record tonight (7:00pm – MSG), hosting the Buffalo Sabres (also undefeated). The Sabres are already struggling with injuries at the center position, and will be without Jochen Hecht who underwent surgery on his finger yesterday. Winning streaks are nothing new for Chris Drury, who was part of […]
Rangers Match Franchise Record With 5-0 Start
The Rangers have extended their winning streak to 5-0, tying the mark for the franchise’s best ever start to the season, set back in 1983 when they also went 5-0 (and started 9-1-0 in their first 10). Perhaps it was just a little sweeter too that it came at the expense of the Devils, whom were handed their first loss of the season. At […]
Devils On For Tonight
The Rangers host the New Jersey Devils tonight (7:00pm – MSG) in their third game in four nights (they still have another three in the next five before they get four days off). Needless to say the Devils are keen to renew the rivalry after the Rangers went 11-1-1 and not losing a single game in regulation. According to […]
Four Straight
Make that a perfect 4-0 on the season…the first time since 1983-84 for all those who are counting. But once again, it didn’t come easy for the Rangers, even if they did get off to a 4-0 lead in the first period, defeating the Flyers in their season opener. The Flyers got off to a slow start and the Rangers took full advantage. But the home team fought back, […]
Home Opener Tomorrow
Even though one of the games in Prague was classified as a “home” game for purposes of faceoffs and line changes, the real opener at MSG will come tomorrow night against the Blackhawks (7:00pm – MSG). One of the players who will make his debut on MSG ice is defenseman Wade Redden…a player that The Daily News says […]
Back From Prague
Now that I’m back from Prague, OTG is back in action. Apologies for the gaps this preseason, but all sorts of things have gotten in the way this off-season culminating in a lack of internet access at my hotel in Prague. Thanks once again to Pavel, Martin and the other Czech Rangers fans for hosting […]
