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. Whether you’re one of his biggest supporters – like Larry Brooks – or some guy in Canada who seems to be personally offended by Avery’s antics, the message is the same. It’s time to wise-up and get […]
Post Game 4 News And Notes
Henrik Lundqvist bounced back from allowing four goals in Game 3 with another stellar performance last night. Lundqvist once again was the difference between a win and a loss, allowing the Rangers to secure a 3-1 series lead and put the Capitals on the brink of elimination. To say Lundqvist was the difference hardly begins to the tell the story of his first star performance last night. […]
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 have lost two of the three Quarterfinal Game 3s at MSG since the lockout, both to New Jersey. In 2007 […]
Playoffs Within Sight
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 […]
Race Tightens
With both the 8th placed Canadiens and 9th placed Panthers in action last night, there was a reasonable chance that the Rangers might earn a little breathing room against at least one of them. Unfortunately that’s not how it worked out, and the Rangers once again find themselves enmeshed in a tight race for the […]
No easy ones now.
Last night the Rangers played their final game, against a opponent they were probably looking past. Especially after getting up 4-1. They need to win at least four out of their remaining seven games, to lock up a playoff spot, and that won’t be easy. On the road against, the high flying Penguins and Hurricanes, […]
No Help Last Night
The Rangers are finally back in action tonight, at home against the struggling Sabres (7:00pm – MSG2). There’s talk in Sabreland about the possibility that Buffalo might finally bid adieu to Lindy Ruff and Darcy Regier, who’ve been with the team since 1997 – that’s 129 NHL level coaching changes ago for those wondering. It’s an important game for […]
Meeting The Deadline
This year promises to be quieter than most for many teams, but despite the Rangers seemingly impossible position with the Salary Cap, there’s still some room to maneuver. Glen Sather made his first move yesterday by reacquiring Sean Avery off of re-entry waivers, something that is almost certainly going to have some impact on the team. He also cleared […]
Have The Rangers Kept Up
Many of you no doubt were like me, and watched the “opening night” games last night. For me it started out with an aged Def Leppard performing in Detroit, followed by a scrappy win by a Toronto Maple Leafs line-up that would (on paper at least) seemingly rival any for worst in the league. For […]
