Former Rangers Missing Out
He never played a game for the Rangers last year, but was he still under contract to the team. Wade Redden perhaps surprisingly to many, will potentially see post season action with the Boston Bruins after a four year trip through the hockey wilderness. A number of other contracted players, no longer with the Blueshirts, will […]
Big Apple Turnover
Every year you expect some degree of turnover. Trades, free agency and injuries or conspire to change the face of an organization from year to year. With still more than seven weeks to go until camp opens up on September 21st, the Rangers once again will have some significant differences. Ten players who were on […]
Bell to debut, Wolski a healthy scratch
Brendan Bell is set to makr his first appearance as a Rnger tonight, and it will be his first NHL game since April 11th, 2009 when he played for the Ottawa Senators. He was a -3 in that game and you’d have to go back almost another month, to March 17th, 2009 for his last […]
Zuccarello Sent Down; Newbury Called Up
by Jamy Baron We are three games into the regular season and the Rangers have sent down Mats Zuccarello to the Connecticut Whale. Kris Newbury has been called up to replace him on the roster. Averaging only 8:26 in ice time, this demotion is necessary for Zucc’s development. He isn’t going to get any better by playing 4th line minutes […]
Rangers Staaled
A tough start to the season just got a whole lot tougher for the Rangers. The loss of Marc Staal for the beginning of the season to headaches, neck pain or concussion-like symptoms – depending on which story you prefer at any point – suddenly makes the defense look a whole lot less dependable. Yes it’s true […]
Avery, Bickel and Bell clear waivers
The final three Rangers players placed on waivers have cleared as of 12:00pm Eastern today per Pat Leonard on Twitter. All three players can now be assigned to the Connecticut Whale ahead of this weekend’s season opener against Adirondack. It was a relatively quiet day ahead of the 3:00pm roster waiver, though former Rangers Blair Betts was picked […]
Avery Waived
Per Larry Brooks on Twitter, Sean Avery has been placed on waivers, This means Erik Christensen will get the 13th spot and Avery will be reassigned to Connevticut if he clears by noon tomorrow. The move is moderately surprising given Christensen’s so-so form in the preseason, but Tortorella and Avery have never seemed to be able to get on the […]
The King And His Rangers Come Out On Top
by Jamie Baron It all started with a huge standing ovation for Henrik Lundqvist. He was given the keys to the city and boy has he earned it. The Rangers came out on top today against Henrik’s old team Frolunda, 4-2. The game started out emotional, but as it progressed it became more and more of […]
Line-up Announced For Preseason Opener
John Tortorella announced the roster for tomorrow night’s preseason opener against the Devils, and as promised it’s a team with several young players, and few veterans. Surprisingly perhaps, Henrik Lundqvist will get his first action of the season backstopping a roster that features just eight players who played for the Rangers last year. Backing up Lundqvist in […]
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 […]
