Deja Blue

For those of you who’ve been following the team long enough to remember the pre-lockout days, you’ll be no doubt familiar with the position the Rangers find themselves today. Even if you’re a relative newbie, you’ll likely know just by hanging around with the rest of Ranger fandom, that this is a position that the […]

Meeting The Deadline

This year promises to be quieter than most for many teams, but despite the Rangers seemingly impossible position with the Salary Cap, there’s still some room to maneuver. Glen Sather made his first move yesterday by reacquiring Sean Avery off of re-entry waivers, something that is almost certainly going to have some impact on the team. He also cleared […]

Sather Knows Best

by Cliff Auld Back on March 3, 2004 who would have ever fathomed that the New York Rangers would be predicted by some to win the 2007 Stanley Cup?. Who would have even believed Glen Sather would still be employed by the New York Rangers roughly 2 ½ years later? See it was on that […]

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 […]

Causes For Concern

It looked as if the Rangers were about to turn their season around.  After a inconclusive start to the New Year, New York broke out with two emotional wins against the rival New York Islanders, and an 2-1 overtime loss (but creditable performance) against the Tampa Bay Lightning.  They followed this up with a 3-3 […]

Opening Nightmare

One year ago, on opening night, the Rangers began the 2002-03 season with an emphatic 4-1 win over the previous year’s Eastern Conference champs. At the time it was at optimistic moment in an otherwise disappointing sixth straight season without the playoffs. By contrast the 2003-04 season opener was anything but optimistic. The Rangers blew […]

Rangers Sign Simon

by Timmy Corbett The rangers have signed the mammoth 6′ 4″, 236 pound left winger, Chris Simon, and at age 31, his size is still a viable weapon. He also fills a huge hole the rangers have on the left wing. The Rangers are at risk of losing their top left wing prospect in John […]

Filling In The Blanks

by Jess Rubenstein It is a pretty sad offseason when Ranger fans find themselves cheering when players they feared Slats might want to sign choose to go elsewhere instead of the Rangers. Something is wrong when the fans of the team have such little faith in their GM to make the right moves so they […]
