The King Retires

It was always going to happen one day, and unfortunately that day is today. Perhaps I held out a little hope that the Rangers would find a way to bring Lundqvist back as a back up for one last season, and help send him off with a real farewell tour, but it was not to […]
Rangers May Wing-It

It’s likely that Jeff Gorton is going to at least try to make some moves this weekend at the NHL draft, but it remains to be seen what he actually accomplishes. With John Davidson now firmly in place as President of the New York Rangers, and the second overall pick in the 2019 NHL Entry Draft, Gorton […]
Rangers Starting To Get Healthy

The Rangers have struggled of late, going 1-4-1 in their last six as they suffered through the loss of several forwards. As gamely as the team played, it’s been clear that the likes of Timothy Gettinger, Vinni Lettieri and Steven Fogarty are still works in progress rather than regular NHLers who can contribute. Fogarty is expected to remain […]
Rangers Set To Recall Lettieri

The one-game experiment of playing Brendan Smith on the wing has ended following last night’s 3-0 loss to the Senators. Vinni Lettieri is set to be recalled from Hartford in time to face the Monteal Canadiens tomorrow night in Montreal. In his second year with the Rangers, Lettieri failed to impress in his first 14 games this year, recording […]
Georgiev Bounces Back

The Rangers matched their season high of five goals, though this time they came away with a win. Previously they had lost 5-8 to Carolina in the third game of the season, incidentally in Alexandar Georgiev‘s only other start. While New York have scored 10 goals with Georgiev in net, they have managed just 10 in the seven […]
Quinn Gets First Win

Last night the Rangers picked up their first win of the season, coming from 2-1 down to score in the final three minutes of regulation and then just over 30 seconds into overtime. Ir was the first tmie in franchise history that the Rangers have done this, with two defensemen scoring the goals within the […]
Rangers Still Searching For First Win

After three games, the Rangers are still looking for their first win and points of the season. It’s the first time they’ve gone winless in the first three games since 2011-12, and worst start to the year going back to 1998-99 when they lost their first four. There must be something about October 7th / 8th, because this […]
Stats and Facts – Rangers Lose Again In Opener

The Rangers opened up their 91st season – 92nd year – with a 3-2 loss to the Nashville Predators, reigning President’s Trophy winners. It was the second straight year they have opened their season against a Western Conference team, losing last year to Colorado 4-2 as well. It was the third straight time they’ve opened the season […]
Always Look On The Bright Side

The chances of the Rangers winning the Stanley Cup, let alone making the playoffs appear relatively remote this season. The first officially sanctioned team rebuild is well underway, and the roster looks more akin to a team that is simply running the season down at the end of the year, than one that is entering […]
No Captain

As expected, the Rangers will not go into the 2018-19 season with a captain, instead relying on five different Alternate Captains to lead the team through this transition season. Marc Staal is chief amongst the five, having been assigned an A for both home and road games. The other four will split duties between home games and […]
