Will Marc’s Progress ‘Staal’?
by Cliff Auld Training camp is always a time for difficult player personnel decisions regarding young players, and this camp has been no different for the Rangers. While Brandon Dubinsky, Nigel Dawes, and Jarkko Immonen are all fighting for spots on the top four lines, the Rangers most difficult decision is what to do with […]
2003-04 Ex-Ranger All-Stars
For the fourth consecutive year, Outside The Garden has searched around the league for the best and fairest of former Ranger players and properties. This year things were a little more exciting with the addition of several high profile players to the “Ex-Ranger” ranks when GM Glen Sather purged the roster of a number of […]
2002-03 Ex-Ranger All Stars
As we head into what can only be described as a surprising Stanley Cup Finals series between the New Jersey Devils and Mighty Ducks of Anaheim, it is once again time to look at the best and fairest amongst those who were once Rangers. With the loss of John Vanbiesbrouck and Ray Ferraro to retirement […]
All-Star Farce
by Adam Raider We’re proud of quiet man Tom Poti. The Blueshirt blueliner will never win acclaim for his defensive prowess, but the kid sure can score. Reminds you a bit of Reijo Ruotsalainen, no?

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 […]
The Devil You Know
The season opened with Darren Langdon getting the game winner in Carolina and then Alexei Kovalev scored his second career hattrick against the Rangers back in January. Just another example of a former Ranger coming back to bite his team. But perhaps these were the exceptions rather than the rule, after all what other former […]
2000-01 All Ex-Ranger Team
There’s no doubt that summer is far too long for many Blueshirts fans. Far too long over the last four years, where we’ve gone almost six months a year without a game to allay our thirst for Rangers hockey. The NHL Entry draft (In late June) and the various free agent signings provoke some discussion, […]
