Alumni Game Roster Announced
by Jamy Baron During this past week, the Philadelphia Flyers unveiled their jerseys for the Winter Classic. Ranger fans were getting restless waiting for an announcement from the Rangers. The Rangers released a statement via their Facebook page that they will be unveiling their jerseys this coming Monday at 4PM EST. While that is very […]
The Best Defense Is A Good Offense
One of the issues last season was undoubtedly the Rangers’ power play. Ranked second last in the league during the regular season, they not only managed a pitiful 13.9 percent – Detroit lead the league at 25.5 percent – but they also gave up the second most shorthanded goals of any team, an embarrassing 14 […]

2003-04 Ex-Ranger All-Stars
For the fourth consecutive year, Outside The Garden has searched around the league for the best and fairest of former Ranger players and properties. This year things were a little more exciting with the addition of several high profile players to the “Ex-Ranger” ranks when GM Glen Sather purged the roster of a number of […]
2002-03 Ex-Ranger All Stars
As we head into what can only be described as a surprising Stanley Cup Finals series between the New Jersey Devils and Mighty Ducks of Anaheim, it is once again time to look at the best and fairest amongst those who were once Rangers. With the loss of John Vanbiesbrouck and Ray Ferraro to retirement […]
All-Star Farce
by Adam Raider We’re proud of quiet man Tom Poti. The Blueshirt blueliner will never win acclaim for his defensive prowess, but the kid sure can score. Reminds you a bit of Reijo Ruotsalainen, no? When it was determined that Brian Leetch would not participate in this year’s NHL All-Star Game, Poti seemed a logical […]
2001-02 Ex Ranger All Stars
Outside The Garden will be a year old next week and it will also be a year since we released the line-up for the first Ex-Rangers All Stars. Last year as the debut article for the site, I put together a roster of former Rangers who had played in the previous season. This year made […]
The Devil You Know
The season opened with Darren Langdon getting the game winner in Carolina and then Alexei Kovalev scored his second career hattrick against the Rangers back in January. Just another example of a former Ranger coming back to bite his team. But perhaps these were the exceptions rather than the rule, after all what other former […]
2000-01 All Ex-Ranger Team
There’s no doubt that summer is far too long for many Blueshirts fans. Far too long over the last four years, where we’ve gone almost six months a year without a game to allay our thirst for Rangers hockey. The NHL Entry draft (In late June) and the various free agent signings provoke some discussion, […]
