Domingue Set To Make Debut
With Igor Shesterkin and Jonathan Quick both sidelined with injuries, the Rangers will turn to third string netminder Louis Domingue for the start tonight against Minnesota. It’ll be the first game for the Rangers since signing in the Summer of 2022 following a solid performance in the playoffs for the Pittsburgh Penguins – against the […]
Injuries Sideline Fox, Chytil and Shesterkin
After a relatively healthy year last season, the Rangers have been hit with some injuries to key players that could stifle their early season momentum. Heading into tomorrow’s night’s game in Minnesota, the team will be without four of their starters, with Barclay Goodrow also sitting out to be with his expectant partner. With the […]
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 […]

Anticipation Meets Reality
Most pundits and even a lot of fans, looked at this series against the Pittsburgh Penguins as pretty much a win for the Rangers. The Rangers had won the season series 3-1, with all three wins coming in the last six weeks of the season. By contrast, the Penguins had limped through the second half […]
Experience v Youth
Experience, depth, defense, goaltending, physical play…there’s a lot of things that pundits attribute success in the playoffs to. The Stanley Cup can be won in as few as 16 games, or as many as 28. It’s a grind, a war of attrition to see who will have the opportunity to hoist Lord Stanley’s Cup at […]
Season Finales Will Determine Opponent
With the regular season winding up tonight, the Rangers’ first round opponent might be within their power to control. Tonight’s match-up against the Washington Capitals, is one of two games that will determine whether it’s the Penguins or Capitals who will meet New York next week. The Penguins have the most control, with a point […]
