Invitations Are Out

With the prospects out in Traverse City playing their first game of the tournament – a 5-4 win over the Columbus Blue Jackets – the Rangers veterans returned to the ice for their informal skates. Alexander Frolov skated with the team for the first time since signing a one year, $3M contract back on July 27th, and faced off […]

Patrick Rissmiller Back In

The Rangers have apparently signed undrafted left wing, Devin DiDiomete to an NHL contract. From his statistics, the 5-10, 200lb DiDiomete looks as if he’s a player who players with a bit of an edge and can chip in the odd goal. Patrick Rissmiller will be back in the line-up tonight against the Dallas Stars (7:00pm – MSG) at the […]

Game 2 Tonight

Game 2: Tonight, 7:00pm – MSG The Rangers have a chance to go up 2-0 in the series tonight, and start putting a so-so regular season behind them.

On defense, the Devils will […]

Win Clinches Playoffs, Home Ice Still Possible

With last night’s 3-0 win, the Rangers have set themselves up with a shot at home ice advantage. The Rangers of course will have to win tonight, but they’ll also need some help from the Flyers, who will need to beat New Jersey…in regulation preferrably. The win also clinched a playoff spot for the third straight season, and at worst they can now […]
