Report Card: After 10
Ten games into the season, 12.2% of the season completed, and the Rangers sit at 6-2-2, amongst the best in the league with 14 points. On the surface it’s been a dream start for Rangers Head Coach Gerard Gallant, in that his team has put the wins up against teams it should beat, for the most […]
Line up Set For Season Opener
Rangers have forecast their line-up for tonight, with the exception of the goaltender – who will be shared during warm-ups. With a game tomorrow night, it would seem the expectation currently is to use one guy tonight, and the other tomorrow at the home opener against Dallas. In terms of surprises, there are none from […]
Kravtsov Requests Trade
There’s been plenty of drama around former first round pick – 2018, 9th overall – since he was drafted by the Rangers, and it continued today with a report that the Rangers have given the 22 year old Russian permission to talk to other teams in order to facilitate a trade. Kravtsov was one of […]
Rangers Finalize Roster With Demotions
The Rangers complied with the 5pm Eastern deadline to finalize their opening night roster, by sending down waiver exempt forwards Vitali Kravtsov and Morgan Barron, along with veteran the recently recalled Greg McKegg. The moves put the Rangers exactly at the league maximum 23, with two goaltenders, eight defensemen and thirteen forwards. By reassigning Kravtsov and Barron, the Rangers […]
Camp Set To Start Around September 22nd
Perhaps the only advantage of the ongoing COVID situation is that this season’s Summer is about a month shorter than normal. Normally you’d expect a team that missed the playoffs to be off the ice in early April, and then a substantial gap between the July1st free agency period and the restart of festivities in […]
Kevin Over Colin
With lists due to the NHL by 5:00pm Eastern Saturday, and a trade freeze starting two hours before – and running until 1:00pm Thursday – the Rangers were about to give us the first clues as to what might happen this offseason. The re-signing of both Julien Gauthier and Brett Howden prior to the deadline suggested that the Rangers […]
Ten In
After ten games, the Rangers sit at 10 points, with a 4-4-2 record, largely on the back of a 3-0-1 streak that has seen them overcome a slow start. After a clunker to open the season agains the Islanders, where they simply weren’t prepared in a 4-0 loss, the Rangers stormed back to reverse the […]
DeAngelo Situation Nearing Resolution
There’s a lot of words that can describe Tony DeAngelo, gifted, outspoken and passionate amongst them. In the relatively vanilla world of hockey, where players are coached on how to talk to reporters, and avoid saying almost anything, the 25 year old New Jersey native stands out. Whether it be his much talked about support […]
The Team Is Kind Of The Same
If you look at the team that lost 0-3 in the qualifying round back in August, you would see just a handful of changes. Gone are the two longest tenured Rangers in Henrik Lundqvist (buy-out) and Marc Staal (trade), as well as the fourth longest in Jesper Fast (free agency). Also moving on are Greg McKegg and Micheal Haley, as well as depth players Cristoval […]
Free Agency Opens Up Tomorrow
Friday October 12th at 12pm Eastern marks the opening up of the Free Agency period, and the Rangers are still looking to make some changes to their roster. While the second center position remains one of the areas of focus, the Rangers now have to look at options for addressing their short term needs on […]
