Bruins Shutout Rangers On Rainy Night

The New York Rangers opened their preseason tonight with a 3-0 loss in Boston. Starting 45 minutes later than scheduled due to travel delays, it took probably another 20-30 minutes for the team to properly find its rhythm, and except for some costly mistakes, the visiting Blueshirts probably ended the game with more quality chances. […]

Rangers Prospects Win

The Rangers prospects kicked off the season with a win in Allentown tonight, defeating the Flyers prospects by a score of 4-2. It was far from a perfect game for either side, but there were a few prospects that stood out for the Blueshirts. Brennan Othmann starts his first pro season as perhaps the highest […]

Is This The Year?

Last season exceeded our expectations by some margin.  52 wins, career years for a number of Rangers – including 52 goals by Chris Kreider, along with the Vezina winning performance in net from Igor Shesterkin, were all components of a very enjoyable campaign last season.  Then a post season run that saw them ultimately exit in the […]

Robertson And 18 Others Reassigned

Going into training camp, there was some thought that Matthew Robertson might be able to compete for the vacant defensive spot, but it appears he’s further away than many of us thought.  The 21 year old was one of 19 players – mostly AHL contracted – who went sent down today ahead of games tonight and tomorrow. […]

No Barclay, Blais or Panarin Tonight

The Rangers travel to Boston tonight to play their second preseason game in as many nights.  Not along for the ride are most of last night’s line-up, along with star winger Artemi Panarin and forward Sammy Blais and Barclay Goodrow. Not playing Panarin is probably more about giving others a chance, rather than any concern with the veteran Russian winger.  […]

Day 2 – Team C Wins Scrimmage

The second day of training camp is in the books, and the Rangers continue to conduct a scrimmage in the morning, followed by on-ice work later in the day.  Today’s fixture featured Team A, with the Zibanejad line, against Team C and the Kid Line. As with yesterday’s match-up with Team A and B, today’s […]

Nils Sum Game

After a week of speculation, Nils Lundkvist confirmed through his agent Claude Lemieux, that he will not report to camp, and will instead remain in Sweden hoping to force a trade.  There have been reports this week, that the Swede asked for a trade after being demoted to Hartford mid-way through last season, and without a foreseeable path to a […]

Three Ways Hajek Starts The Season

Here’s a question for you:  What if Libor Hajek ends up as the sixth defenseman on opening night, beating out both Zac Jones and Matthew Robertson.  What if the guy who had poorer advanced stats than Patrik Nemeth and Jack Johnson, ends up being the one they go to first? I mean it kind of happened last year right?  They dressed Jarred […]

Prospect Camp Set To Open This Week

For the second straight year, the Rangers will start the preseason with a prospect camp that will precede the full roster reporting on September 21st.  As with last season, this year’s edition will feature two scrimmages against the Flyers prospects on Friday and Saturday, against their counterparts from the Flyers organization.  Friday’s game is scheduled […]
