Line up Set For Season Opener
Rangers have forecast their line-up for tonight, with the exception of the goaltender – who will be shared during warm-ups. With a game tomorrow night, it would seem the expectation currently is to use one guy tonight, and the other tomorrow at the home opener against Dallas. In terms of surprises, there are none from […]
The King Retires
It was always going to happen one day, and unfortunately that day is today. Perhaps I held out a little hope that the Rangers would find a way to bring Lundqvist back as a back up for one last season, and help send him off with a real farewell tour, but it was not to […]
Jack. Of All Trades?!?
As 12:00pm Eastern drew closer, there was plenty of anticipation from Ranger fans expecting today to be the day that Rangers GM Chris Drury made a move to complete his offseason makeover of the roster. Six hours later and the sum of the day was four free agent signings headlined by the signing of third pair defenseman Patrik […]
DeAngelo Buyout Official
A saga that has lasted since February has come to a conclusion, with the Rangers officially buying the remaining of Tony DeAngelo’s contract, making him an unrestricted free agent able to sign with any team in the league. DeAngelo’s fate has been well known for some time, and it was just a matter of when […]
Kevin Over Colin
With lists due to the NHL by 5:00pm Eastern Saturday, and a trade freeze starting two hours before – and running until 1:00pm Thursday – the Rangers were about to give us the first clues as to what might happen this offseason. The re-signing of both Julien Gauthier and Brett Howden prior to the deadline suggested that the Rangers […]
Rangers Expected To Buyout DeAngelo
The Rangers may have changed management and coaching staff, but the expectation that the Rangers will buy out defenseman Tony DeAngelo from his final contract year remain. Suspended since an altercation with goaltender Alexandar Georgiev on January 31st, following a 5-4 overtime loss to the Penguins, in which the pair had a mix-up that lead to the […]
Let’s Not Make A Deal
April 12th, 2021 and the NHL Trade Deadline has come and gone without the New York Rangers making any deals. In all fairness, the Rangers weren’t expected to make any changes, though the possibility remained for some of their pending UFAs and those with a year or less on their contracts being in play. Also […]
Shesterkin Set To Return
For the most part, since the early part of the 2005-06 season, Rangers fans have had to little to worry about in goal. Such was Henrik Lundqvist‘s impact in net, that there was little to consider. Sure, there have still been detractors in that period…after all we often have emotional, and irrational expectations on the payers, […]
Ten In
After ten games, the Rangers sit at 10 points, with a 4-4-2 record, largely on the back of a 3-0-1 streak that has seen them overcome a slow start. After a clunker to open the season agains the Islanders, where they simply weren’t prepared in a 4-0 loss, the Rangers stormed back to reverse the […]
DeAngelo Situation Nearing Resolution
There’s a lot of words that can describe Tony DeAngelo, gifted, outspoken and passionate amongst them. In the relatively vanilla world of hockey, where players are coached on how to talk to reporters, and avoid saying almost anything, the 25 year old New Jersey native stands out. Whether it be his much talked about support […]
