Previewing The Rangers: 2007-08
by James DeBerardine Hey all, if you are a visitor or member of the OTG forums you’re bound to know of me and my ideas, I thought I’d give an overview of what I feel the Rangers should do to be successful this season. More about me? I have been a member of OTG for […]
Training Camp – Left Wing
As with many of the other positions on the Rangers roster this year, the left wing presents Head Coach Tom Renney with a variety of options. There’s no doubt that the prize is of course playing alongside Jaromir Jagr on the top line. Over the past two seasons, Martin Straka has been a mainstay alongside Jagr and Michael Nylander. With […]
Training Camp – Center
Going into July 1st, there were nothing but questions as to who would play center for the Rangers. Negotiations with Michael Nylander had gone nowhere, Matt Cullen had proved to be only a minimal improvement over Steve Rucchin and the Rangers had finished the season using Sean Avery as a stop gap second line center. Less than 24 hours later and the situation […]
Rangers: Games To Watch
The Rangers’ season opener is now less than a month away and it’s time for us to start focusing in on the games at hand. The 2007-08 season schedule is a little more unusual than what we’ve seen in recent years, with an increased focus on divisional play and a couple of anomalies that you […]

by Matt Waxman When the clock struck twelve, twelve PM Eastern Standard Time that is, the gates were opened. The bell had sounded.

A Trip Across The Atlantic
The July 1st free agency frenzy is past and camp is still almost two months away. Yep, this is definitely the doldrums of the NHL season, and it only takes a look at the number of discussions about potential lines and the relative value of those players that filed for arbitration to know that we’re […]
The Cap
by Pete Robinson With Avery’s and Hossa’s arbitration date coming up where does this leave the Rangers? Over the past week, the Rangers have re-signed Shanny and Hank. According to the cap, that leaves approximately 3.7 million in cap space to sign Avery and Hossa. All I can think is, ‘What is Glen up to?’ […]
Win Or Go Home
he Rangers may very well have had their season on the line last night in Buffalo, and it appeared with 20 seconds left in regulation that they had done all they needed to do to secure the first road victory of this Eastern Conference Semifinal. But with the game all but secure the Rangers faltered, […]
Was Lindros Worth It?
How good was Eric Lindros for the Rangers this past season? If you’re like me you were probably a little disappointed about the Blueshirts missing the playoffs and perhaps projected some of that disappointment onto the centerpiece of last summer’s team improvement process. But realistically what could we have expected from the former number over […]
