Is This The Year?
Last season exceeded our expectations by some margin. 52 wins, career years for a number of Rangers – including 52 goals by Chris Kreider, along with the Vezina winning performance in net from Igor Shesterkin, were all components of a very enjoyable campaign last season. Then a post season run that saw them ultimately exit in the […]
5 More Cut From Camp
The Rangers trimmed their training camp roster to 29 players, with goaltender Louis Domingue also placed on waivers in order to send him down. That will iultimately leave at least five, and probably six more players to cut prior to the October 11th season opener. Sent down today were forwards Will Cuylle, Lauri Pajuniemi and Tim Gettinger, along with […]
No Barclay, Blais or Panarin Tonight
The Rangers travel to Boston tonight to play their second preseason game in as many nights. Not along for the ride are most of last night’s line-up, along with star winger Artemi Panarin and forward Sammy Blais and Barclay Goodrow. Not playing Panarin is probably more about giving others a chance, rather than any concern with the veteran Russian winger. […]
3rd Day of Camp Wraps Up
Team C picked up their second scrimmage win, and are the only team of the three that has actually registred a win at this point. The Kid Line, and in particular Kaapo Kakko and Alexis Lafreniere picked up two of the three goals, with the first goal of the contest coming from Dryden Hunt. Team C wrapped up the game […]
No Kidding
Despite being largely dismissed over the Summer months, it appears that Gerard Gallant could indeed give the Kid Line a bit more time together to start Training Camp. While far from an endorsement for what things might look like to start the year – anyone remember trying Tony DeAngelo on the left side a couple […]
Goodrow and Motte Injury Updates
After the win last night, Rangers head coach Gerard Gallant disclosed that Barclay Goodrow is going to be out for an extended period. Officially listed as week to week, Goodrow’s potential absence was not disclosed until pre-game warm ups when he and Ryan Lindgren did not come out. Goodrow’s injury is a lower body one, and some have speculated […]
Penguins and Rangers Deal With Injuries
Already without starting netminder Tristan Jarry, who suffered a bone fracture in his foot in mid-April, the Penguins will head into tonight’s Game 2 without their second choice. Casey DeSmith left the second OT against the Rangers in Game 1, and appears to be out for at least the rest of the first round with […]
Two Of Three Expected Back Tonight
After missing the loss in Boston due to injury, it appears both Andrew Copp and Filip Chytil are set for a return tonight against the Carolina Hurricanes. While the Rangers do still have a chance to win the Metropolitan Division, the chances are they are most likely to now finish second following the loss in Boston. The return of […]
Chytil Back. Kravtsov to Come Over In Summer
After missing the last two games with an undisclosed upper body injury, Filip Chytil is set to return to the line-up. Who comes out, remains to be seen, but Barclay Goodrow perhaps gets the night off after taking a stick to the face, or perhaps one of Dryden Hunt or Ryan Reaves. Alexandar Georgiev will be back in net, and currently has a […]
Strome Misses Practice
Center Ryan Strome missed today’s morning practice, raising speculation that he will not play tonight in Pittsburgh. Strome left Sunday’s game against the Buffalo Sabres after the first periiod, with an undisclosed lower body injury. Asked after the game, Head Coach Gerard Gallant said he didn’t see anything serious. No further updates have been provided on Strome’s […]
