Brad Intentions
It’s July 1st, time once again for Glen Sather to go shopping on the open market. It’s a time of nervous excitement for we Ranger fans, though not always of the positive variety. Wade Redden, Chris Drury, Scott Gomez, Donald Brashear, Ales Kotalik, and even Michal Rozsival, who was technical a UFA when they resigned him to $5M a year after they […]
In Brandon We Prust
Just three pre-season games remaining, and only a handful of cuts before the October 6th roster deadline. You can almost smell the hockey in the air. Today’s Rangers Countdown player probably is as anxious to get in front of the MSG faithful as we are to see the team back on the ice. Player ProfileLooking […]
A-Fro Stylin’
The preseason finally kicked in to gear today with the prospects emerging victorious over the Columbus Blue Jackets, 5-4 on the back of two goals by Evgeny Grachev. To be honest, it was great just being able to follow some live hockey again after a long off-season. Also in the news today was the arrival of Alexander […]
Quiet Day For Rangers
The official NHL deadline has passed, and the Rangers will finish the season with pretty much the roster they went into the Olympic break with. The only move they made today, a switch of minor league forwards with the Detroit Red Wings involving Jordan Owens and Kris Newbury. Neither player is like to have much impact at the […]
Should they?
The Rangers realize they still need some pretty drastic roster changes. The good news is most of the future deletions involve veterans. Its pretty obvious Roszival, Redden, Brashear, Higgins and Kotalik need to go for starters. But is that enough? The return on those players is not going to dramatically improve the Rangers. More likely […]
Weekly Preview: October 9th – 15th
Well the first week of the 2009-10 season is in the books, and the Rangers trumped our prediction of a 2-2-0 record, by beating the Capitals last night in Washington. Still, we did get the first three right, and the extra win isn’t anything to cry about. For Week 2, the Rangers return home for […]
The Official Unofficial Season Preview
As we sit on the eve of the NHL season, it’s time to take stock of the team we have. The Rangers officially kick their 2009-10 campaign off in Pittsburgh against the defending Stanley Cup champion Penguins. And what a difference a year makes. Around this time last year, the Rangers were one of four […]
Training Camp – Day One Notes
Day one of camp was completed and Brandon Dubinsky is now officially considered a holdout. John Tortorella let his feelings be known on the subject yesterday, clearly opposing Dubinsky’s choice to decline to participate. Certainly it would be better for all if Dubinsky was in camp, but you have to feel that Glen Sather has also contributed to this scenario with a below market offer. […]
No More Drama, But…
by AveryGod Their have been some significant changes made to the New York Rangers since I last wrote an article. It’s nothing huge enough to blow your mind but significant to say the least. Nikolai Zherdev finally had his case heard for arbitration and basically won. Even though it wasn’t the reported $4.5 million he was looking […]
What’s the Deal?
by AveryGod What do these four players all have in common: Enver Lisin, Brian Boyle, Christopher Higgins and Ales Kotalik. They all signed new contracts to play for the New York Rangers next season and all of them were on different teams last year. That’s not even including Marion Gaborik, Donald Brashear and the other EIGHT players they’ve added […]
