More Line Changes?

The Rangers had a day off yesterday, but were back at practice today albeit with a few exceptions.  Sean Avery was officially assigned to the Connecticut Whale early this week, and reported for duty yesterday – Bergen Record.  Although, not exactly.  Avery has a shoulder injury – New York Post – and while the MRI was negative, he’ll get […]

Rangers Staaled

A tough start to the season just got a whole lot tougher for the Rangers.  The loss of Marc Staal for the beginning of the season to headaches, neck pain or concussion-like symptoms – depending on which story you prefer at any point – suddenly makes the defense look a whole lot less dependable. Yes it’s true […]

Staal Sent Home

The biggest news out of Day 4 of Training Camp was that defenseman Marc Staal has been sent home as a precaution after he reportedly wasn’t feeling well.  The Rangers’ #1 defender is being treated cautiously following off-season post-concussion like symptoms, but this is certainly not a welcome development for the team. Already to be limited to […]

Day 2 Summary

The Rangers completed their skating workouts Saturday with a second set of drills.  Marian Gaborik – who had been in his native Slovakia – returned to the ice, as did Artem Anisimov after he received a clean bill of health on his knee. Mike Sauer, still nursing a tender knee, skated on his own and could be inserted into the full […]

Keep The Hits Coming

As the Ranger prepare for tonight’s game, they’ll likely be hearing the same story from John Tortorella: come out quickly with a strong forecheck, and take the body at every chance. It was that recipe that ultimately paid dividends for the Rangers in game three, and more of the same will be what’s required tonight. […]

Post Season Schedule Announced

The last time the Rangers and Capitals met in the playoffs, was in 2009 when the Rangers blew a 3-1 series lead to lose in Game 7. It was John Tortorella’s first and only playoff series as Rangers’ head coach, and he’ll be behind the bench again as the Rangers and Capitals open up the […]

Camp Fire Stories

Traditionally Rangers training camp has been more about getting veterans into shape, than any real competition for spots. Not so in 2010, when the Rangers entered the preseason preparations with an abundance of players looking to rebound, along with several good rookies looking to make their mark. Certainly not all questions have been resolved, but […]

Fedotenko signs $1M – 1 Year Deal

The Rangers made it official today, signing Ruslan Fedotenko to a one year, one million dollar deal. The two time Stanley Cup winner came to Training Camp after the Rangers extended a try-out offer to him, and his play since has certainly warranted his addition to the team. This will mark the second time the Ukrainbian born […]

Line Dancing

Twenty Seven players. A maximum of twenty four spots – if Chris Drury starts the season on Injured Reserve. Probably more likely to be twenty three spots, whether or not Drury is healthy to start the season. Remaining on the roster, the Rangers still have sixteen forwards, nine defensemen and two goaltenders. At least deciding the goaltending […]

Two Days Of Camp…what have we learned

It’s early days at the Rangers training camp, and what have we learned so far? The answer undoubtedly is not much. Aside from a number of reports from the various observers on how keen various players are on making the line-up, there’s very little of substance we have to go on. With that said, there […]
