Six More Cut From Camp
David Quinn further trimmed his roster today, sending four players and two try-outs down to the Hartford Wolf Pack ahead of tonight’s final preseason game. The cuts mean there are still a number of decisions to be made following tonight’s match-up with the Flyers, including whether the likes of Neal Pionk, Lias Andersson, Filip Chytil and Vinni Lettieri will make the […]
An All-in Rebuild, Well Sort Of
The Rangers are in full rebuild mode, at least that’s true if you read the papers (Rangers Embark On All-Out Rebuild, Rangers Went All-In, and of course the overused Fire-Sale, then there’s of course the back page of the New York Post). Even the more sedate NY Times gets in on the action with the Complete Overhaul. Finally the ever engaging […]
Lias Andersson Out With Bruised Foot
Rangers rookie centerman Lias Andersson, will miss the final game of the preseason with a bruised foot, that he aggravated last night after having already suffered bruising from a similar blocked shot earlier in the preseason.

Filip Chytil – pronounced HEE-tal – looks to have earned a chance to show his offensive prowess, centering veterans Mats Zuccarello and Chris Kreider. Having just turned 18, Chytil will be thrust into the forefront in his first professional […]
Lineup Set For Preseason Opener
The Rangers go into tomorrow’s preseason opener against the Islanders with a very inexperienced line-up. Only 14 of the 20 players have NHL experience including try-outs Andrew Desjardins and Bobby Farnham. Of the 14, only 6 were regulars with the Rangers last year including Pavel Buchnevich, Michael Grabner, Nick Holden, Ryan McDonagh, J.T. Miller and Rick Nash. Veteran AHLers Cole Schneider and Paul Carey will get […]
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 […]
