Callahan Continues To Lead
The NHL tracks Game Winning Goals, – basically the goal scorer for the goal that was one higher than what the losing team scored – but when it comes to shootouts it gets a little bit weird. Because of the format, players who score in the shootout are not credited with a goal on the […]
Gaborik Liking Island Life
You can never tell how an Islanders – Rangers game will turn out, but there are a couple of trends that were extended last night. The Rangers have now won eight straight home games against the Islanders, dating back to March 24th, 2010 when they beat them 5-0 to start the run. As for individual performance, Marian Gaborik has now scored […]
Girardi Out; Callahan In; Boyle Scratched
The Rangers’ Captain Ryan Callahan will be back in the line-up, well ahead of schedule. Initially projected to be out 10-14 days, he’ll make his return just eight days after being diagnosed with a mild shoulder strain. Among the current roster, only Marian Gaborik has scored more goals and put up more points as a Ranger against the Islanders, picking up 7 […]
Season Preview
It took more than three months to get the season started finally, but now as we head to the eve of the season opener against the Bruins, there is plenty of optimism around, and one goal in mind: win the Cup. With 34 fewer games this year, and an abbreviated camp and no preseason, it’s […]

Well, his name isn’t Nikolai Zherdev, but this player fits the same bill; Alexander Radulov. According to the New York Post, Rangers General Manager, Glen Sather “has been in […]
Rangers sled on
A December Saturday night, a wander down to Buffalo, another W and the Rangers roll on. The Rangers continue morphing into a tough nut to crack come playoff time. A team receiving contributions from all hands nightly, is very difficult to beat over a seven game series. Torts has this team headed down that road. Witness the Broadway […]
Montreal: A Tough Place To Win
The Rangers go into tonight’s game with Montreal looking to extend their winning streak to eight games, but they face a team – and building – that they’ve struggled with in recent years. The Rangers have won just three of their last ten games at the home of Les Habitants, and one of those was in a […]
Homeward Bound
This Thursday the Rangers will finally get to do something they haven’t done so far this season – play a game on home ice. It’s been an up and down start to the season, but what could easily have been an unmitigated disaster has proven to be an above par showing. In the seven games […]
Yo Gabba Gaborik
by Jamy Baron Zero goals and an injury three games into the season. This describes Marian Gaborik at the beginning of last season. Four goals and instant chemistry with Brad Richards describes Marian Gaborik so far this season, which is only five games in.
