Dominic Moore To Return To NY
After a one year hiatus from the NHL following the death of his wife, former Ranger draft pick Dominic Moore will return to the team when he began his career. The Rangers have signed Moore to a 1 year $1M contract, and will likely use him as a fourth line center, and PK specialist. Moore was originally […]
Rangers Looking for Goaltender, Defense in Draft
The Rangers go into tomorrow’s draft with no first or second round picks, courtesy of trades for Rick Nash and Ryane Clowe. It’ll be the first time the organization won’t be picking in the first round since 2002 – when Pavel Bure cost them their first rounder – and is the first time 50 year history of the Draft that […]
Looking To Rebound
The Rangers look to rebound from their first loss of the season Wednesday against the Sabres, when they host the visiting Maple Leafs tonight (7:00pm – MSG). Lauri Korpikoski will sit out with an arm injury, and will be replaced by Tom Fritsche in the line-up. Petr Prucha goes back to the bench to allow Nigel Dawes another shot after missing the last […]
For Sale
In my last column I approached the impending trade deadline (February 27th) as if the Rangers would be buyers. Given their fortunes since, and taking the position that recent comments by General Manager Glen Sather to the New York Post are indeed trustworthy, then it is perhaps not so far out of the question that […]
Sather Knows Best
by Cliff Auld Back on March 3, 2004 who would have ever fathomed that the New York Rangers would be predicted by some to win the 2007 Stanley Cup?. Who would have even believed Glen Sather would still be employed by the New York Rangers roughly 2 ½ years later? See it was on that […]
Blueshirts Keep It Going
The Rangers were coming off an emotional 4-1 victory over the Devils on Thursday night. The visiting Thrashers were down to their fourth string goaltender (fifth if you count the unplanned retirement of Pasi Nurminen in the Summer), and had given up seven power play goals in a 9-1 loss to Toronto the previous night. […]
Another Loss in OT
For most teams, playing at Continental Airlines Arena is a difficult proposition, but for the Rangers it has been something akin to impossible. In the past 25 regular season games in the Devils home arena, New York is just 3-19-3-0. So it was somewhat surprising perhaps that Head Coach Tom Renney elected this game to […]
Blueshirt Fall In OT
The last time the Rangers played in Madison Square Garden for an NHL regular season game, was back on March 31st, 2004. That night the home team lost to the Buffalo Sabres 3-4, in what was perhaps a premonition of things to come. New York was looking to build on the momentum of an improbable […]
Lampman And Moore Signed
Lampman Set To ReturnThe Rangers have announced that they have re-signed Bryce Lampman. The fourth year pro will go into the 2004-05 season looking to win a job in the NHL, something he almost accomplished out of camp two years ago, but for an injury in the pre-season. The Nebraska native did eventually win a […]
So Far…So So…
There are few General Managers around the league today who draw such a negative reaction from a team’s fans as does Glen Sather. The one time New York Rangers winger has worn thin his welcome with his confrontational personality and inability to ice a competitive team. But while he may be one of the most […]
