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 […]
Schedule Released
The NHL announced yesterday the official schedule for the Rangers. New York will of course start their season with a to trip to Europe and a double header in Prague on October 4th and 5th against the Tampa Bay Lightning. According to earlier reports, the Rangers will play a pre-season competition in Switzerland before heading to the Czech Republic, and are likely […]
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 […]
Captain Crunching
by Mike Aker With the preseason ending, the Rangers still have a plethora of questions left to answer beginning with final roster spots, forward/defensive pairings, and ending with the inauguration of their new captain, most likely at the home opener on Thursday night. Many non-hockey fans and casual observers question the importance of having a […]
Rangers Fall Flat To Isles
It’s been a long time since the Rangers hit the ice in an NHL game, what with them missing the playoffs for a seventh consecutive season followed up by last year’s lockout. In the intervening time the Rangers have re-made their roster, jettisoning much of the remainder of their roster and publicly embracing the long […]
Three More Signed
Former #1 Pick Re-SignedThe Rangers announced today that they have re-signed Jamie Lundmark to a contract, terms of the deal were not disclosed. Originally drafted 8th overall in the 1999 draft, Lundmark has yet to secure a spot in the NHL going into his fifth professional season. Initially drafted as a center, the Rangers elected […]
Nylander And Lundmark signed
After a relatively quiet start to the Summer, the Rangers today announced their first major free agent signing of the off-season with the addition of center Michael Nylander. The Swedish pivot who began last season centering fellow Ranger Jaromir Jagr, is coming off a year in which he was limited to just 18 regular season […]
Future Forward: Center
With all that has gone on this season, the Rangers faithful are desperate for whatever silver lining they can lay their hands on. While many are happy that the organization looks as if it is finally heading in the right direction, it’ll be the future on which the Rangers will have to depend for their […]
One Was Born A Faliure
by Jess Rubenstein In watching the events of the last 48 hours, I can’t help but to wonder if someone had listened to Frank Brown back in 1997 that we would not have suffered though 7 years of a crappy hockey team. Frank Brown was the beat reporter for the Daily News who suggested in […]
