Woody…Is That A….Johnson

Training Camp opened up today without any hitched, with 61 players in attendance. The roster included a number of invites, prospects and a handful of players signed to play with the Pack this season. One player who is on the Rangers’ payroll, but will play in Hartford this season is the subject of today’s Ranger […]
Drury Scores In Upset Win

It was “Super Sunday” in the Olympics, with all top six seeds in action, but the game of the night was the match-up between the US and Canada for the 1st seed in Group A and a first round bye. To say it was a great game doesn’t even come close to describing it. Playing […]
Olympics Move Into High Gear

Dubinsky Signed, Rangers Cut 5 More

The Rangers and Brandon Dubinsky have finally ended their contract impasse, with the 23 year old center signing a two year deal late yesterday worth $3.7M. The deal was shortly announced after Phil Kessel was traded to Toronto, which suggests at least to this observer that the Rangers were still considering pursuing that route. For the record, Dubinsky held out for eight days and […]
Third Day Sees Gaborik On The Ice

The Rangers used pucks for the first time in camp yesterday, and held two scrimmages during the day’s activities. The first ended 3-2, with camp invitee Matt Maccarone scoring two goals and Matt Gilroy having a stand out game, while the second finished in a 1-1 tie. Gilroy has a good shot to lock down one of the two open defensive spots. […]
It Doesn’t Get Easier

Two days after having put their playoff destiny in the hands of other teams, the Rangers find themselves back in control. Florida’s 3-1 loss to the Atlanta Thrashers means New York can clinch a playoff spot if they get seven points out of the last possible eight. Regardless of the mathematics, the Rangers still have […]
Rangers Lose To Sens, Recall Sauer

The Rangers modest three game winning streak is at an end, as well as their four game streak at MSG. The red-hot Senators came in and seemingly just outlasted the Rangers, coming back from a 1-0 deficit to record a 2-1 win and move into 11th in the East. For their part, New York missed an opportunity to jump over the Hurricanes and Penguins into […]
Senators Visit New York

The Rangers welcome the Senators to the Garden tonight (7:00pm – MSG) and may have a chance to jump back over Carolina and tie for fifth place – Philadelphia is leading Pittsburgh 2-0 currently, and if it’s decided in regulation, the Rangers could draw even with the loser. The Senators have really turned their season […]
Waiting For Saturday

Quiet day for the Rangers, with their next game not until Saturday night. The team had the day off yesterday, but returned to practice today. The team plays it’s next three games at MSG, but then has five of the final eight games on the road. At least they’ve improved in that regard. They’ve turned around […]
Searching For A Win

The Rangers continue to search for their first win under John Tortorella (0-1-1 since he returned, and 0-4-1-1 including the last stint) tonight against the Colorado Avalanche. The Avs are outside the playoff picture and were shutout by Martin Brodeur in his come back game Thursday. If they are going to win…they’ll need to score more than […]
