Report Card: 20 Games
Twenty games into the 2021-22 season, and the Rangers have started to find their game, improving their overall play as Igor Shesterkin and Adam Fox continue to lead the way. The loss of Sammy Blais to an injury has lead to more ice time for the likes of Julien Gauthier and Dryden Hunt, and both players have shown some promising improvements. While most of […]
Report Card: After 10
Ten games into the season, 12.2% of the season completed, and the Rangers sit at 6-2-2, amongst the best in the league with 14 points. On the surface it’s been a dream start for Rangers Head Coach Gerard Gallant, in that his team has put the wins up against teams it should beat, for the most […]
Rangers Not Offensive
So much for opening night fireworks right? The vaunted toughening of Rangers looked more like the same old same old as we watched the re-tooled line-up get manhandled by Alex Ovechkin and the Capitals. Well at least Tom Wilson didn’t get up to any mischief I guess. Well at least they’re hitting more right? The […]
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 […]
Possible Milestones This Season
With the season opener set for tonight in Washington, several Rangers look to hit new milestones this season, frontlined by the longest tenured Chris Kreider. With his inclusion in the line-up tonight, Kreider looks to be just the 40th player to appear in 10 different regular season contests. He is still some ways back of Rod Gilbert‘s […]
And The Next Rangers Captain Is….
Last time the Rangers had a captain, they had just announced they were starting a rebuild. Since that time, the team has seen fit to go with alternates only, a scenario that will now stretch extend the period without a captain to three years, eight months and eleven days by Wednesday’s home opener. Instead, the […]
Tonight’s Lineup at Devils
The Rangers head into tonight’s third preseason game with 34 players remaining on the roster, and about a week to trim at least 11 more players. Tonight will feature some of the remaining players battlign for inclusion in the final roster, as well as a few looks at different combinations. Up in the forward ranks, […]
Kreider Third Liner
Winger Chris Kreider is going into his first full season since turning 30 in April, having played 573 regular season games and 78 in the post season across his 10 year career to date. He’s signed for another six years – including this one – and has a no move clause through to the 2023-24 season. The […]
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 […]
Buchnevich Heading Out?
I believe at this point that Pavel Buchnevich will be traded before July 28th, I’m not sure to whom, or for what, but after yesterday’s media conference with General Manager Chris Drury, I think it’ll happen. I’ll be disappointed, I like what he’s evolved into as a player, but I don’t run the Rangers. The primary reason of […]
