Don’t Screw It Up!
After the euphoria of seeing the Rangers draw second pick in the 2019 NHL draft, the first time the team will pick in the top three since the introduction of the entry draft in 1969, old fears have begun to resurface. If fans had one message for management, it would be DON’T SCREW THIS ONE […]
Vigneault And Eakins Under Consideration
Per Darren Dreger of TSN on Twitter, the Rangers have been granted permission to talk to recently fired Vancouver Canucks coach Alain Vigneault, and Toronto Marlies coach, and former Ranger Dallas Eakins. The announcement follows an expression of interest from another former Canucks coach, Marc Crawford, who is currently coaching in the Swiss Nationaliga. Others who’ve […]
Deja Blue
For those of you who’ve been following the team long enough to remember the pre-lockout days, you’ll be no doubt familiar with the position the Rangers find themselves today. Even if you’re a relative newbie, you’ll likely know just by hanging around with the rest of Ranger fandom, that this is a position that the […]
Grass Isn’t Always Greener
As of March 3rd, 2009, the Rangers sat in eighth spot in the Eastern Conference, six points out of home ice advantage for at least one round, and just one point ahead of the ninth placed Hurricanes. With just eighteen games remaining, the Rangers are not focused on building momentum for the playoffs, but are […]
Meeting The Deadline
This year promises to be quieter than most for many teams, but despite the Rangers seemingly impossible position with the Salary Cap, there’s still some room to maneuver. Glen Sather made his first move yesterday by reacquiring Sean Avery off of re-entry waivers, something that is almost certainly going to have some impact on the team. He also cleared […]
Rangers Make Deals At Deadline
The Rangers moved two players and added four in what turned out to be a bigger day for the Rangers than perhaps some expected. Gone are the inconsistent Marcel Hossa and oft-rumored Al Montoya, and in their place a group of prospects and potential AHLers. Marcel Hossa‘s career with the Rangers started off well, but his inability to […]
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 […]
Remember The Penguins
t’s now been over 36 hours and the Rangers have made five moves, none of which could be confused with the wild 90s, or the early 2000s for that matter. The biggest profile name involved with the Rangers to date is probably the return of Martin Straka, a move that was not unexpected and perhaps […]
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 […]
The Rangers And The Cap
It has taken nine months of posturing and several weeks of hard negotiating, but it appears that a new NHL CBA is just around the corner. Though much is yet to be revealed, the one thing that is apparent is that the NHL will likely start the 2005-06 season with a salary cap of around […]
