Today Is The King’s Day
by Jamy Baron Today is the day we’ve all been waiting for. Henrik Lundqvist returns home to Sweden to play there for the first time since he left Frolunda to come to New York. Today will be an extremely emotional day for Henrik as he will be squaring off against his old teammates and will have many […]
Chemistry Is A Great Thing To Have
by Jamy Baron It may just be training camp, but certain players have really shown up to play and have not lost a beat since April. These players include Ryan Callahan and Brandon Dubinsky. Other players have improved greatly and are displaying a high level of determination. Those players include Marian Gaborik and Wojtek Wolski. Today, the Rangers continued their scrimmages […]
Day 1 Summary
Day one of Rangers Training Camp started with 63 players on deck, but notably excluded from the list was veteran Wade Redden and prospects Randy McNaught and Chris Chappell. Redden will report directly to the Whale when they open up camp, while McNaught will return to the WHL. Chappell was not invited to camp last year either, and would seemingly […]

Hockey is upon us!
by Jamy Baron As summer comes to an end, so too does the long wait for Rangers hockey to start up again. I don’t know about you, but I’ve been waiting since the day the Rangers lost to Washington, very impatiently to say the least. After an exciting off-season that included signings such as Brad Richards and Mike […]
Coming To A Head
Eliminate all head shots from the NHL. Sounds like a worthy endeavor, and even something that can be achieved with relatively little effort given the number of concussions to some of the premier offensive players like Sidney Crosby, Brad Richards, Marian Gaborik and Marc Savard among others. But as the saying goes, the road to hell is paved with good […]
Carton Continues To Embarrass Himself
by Jamy Baron As you may or may not know, Brad Richards was on “Boomer and Carton” this morning. What was supposed to be an interview, was instead a disgrace. Craig Carton, who notoriously hates hockey, could not stop himself from being Carton. Not only did he disrespect Richards with the non-stop “joking” that he put on […]
Who’s On First?
They haven’t yet played a game together, but it seems almost certain that the Rangers will go into the season with Brad Richards centering Marian Gaborik. Richards has the ability to control the game and distribute the puck, while his projected Slovakian linemate has proven he can score in the NHL. Throw in Richards’ career success on the […]
