Fright Night
It’s that time of year, when seemingly every game matters. Case in point tonight’s road game against the Carolina Hurricanes. The Rangers are sitting in seventh place, with just five games remaining. Just three points behind the Flyers and Penguins who’re tied for fourth, but also just two points ahead of the Panthers in 9th […]
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 […]
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 […]
Betts And Sjostrom Are Killing It
The NHL All-Star break continues, with commissioner Gary Bettman threatening to suspend any player who doesn’t show up for the event in Montreal. Niklas Lidstrom and Pavel Datsyuk may yet change their minds, or face the prospect of missing a regular season game as a result. In the mean time, Larry Brooks makes the case […]
Renney Has Guided Rangers to 9-2-1 Start
The Rangers remain at the top of the league in terms of points, but slipped down to fifth in terms of their “win percentage” after last night’s games. The Wild remain the only team without a regulation loss (6-0-1), while the Sharks, Red Wings and Canadiens all have better points per game than the Rangers. Still their […]
Dawes And Prucha On The Outer
The Rangers finished their season last year, loaded with draft picks and prospects that they had developed. Lauri Korpikoski made his NHL debut in the final game, and joined Petr Prucha, Ryan Callahan, Brandon Dubinsky, Nigel Dawes, Fedor Tyutin, Marc Staal, Ryan Hollweg and Henrik Lundqvist on a team that featured nine Rangers’ draft picks, and a tenth player (Dan Girardi). Over the summer, Glen Sather took the opportunity […]
Parenteau Returns
Rangers re-sign P.A. Parenteau according to ESPN’s transactions page. ***MEDICINE HAT DRAFTS TOMAS KUNDRATEK*** The Medicine Hat Tiger have selected 2008 3rd round pick (and Rangers draftee) Tomas Kundratek with the 15th overall pick in today’s CHL draft. Evgeny Gravchev has yet to be selected. Martin Straka will not be returning to the Rangers next season. According to reports from the […]
Be Patient Brendan
Do the Rangers really have interest in Mats Sundin or not? According to the NY Post, Glen Sather is considering bringing him in to center Jaromir Jagr in what would possibly be the oldest first line in the league. By contrast Bob McKenzie of TSN reports that no substantive discussions have taken place, and Leafs interim GM Cliff Fletcher describes the […]
Jagr And Rangers Meeting
The Rangers and Jaromir Jagr hope to meet this week about discussing a new deal. Jagr is set to become a free agent July 1st, but both he and the Rangers have indicated they’d like to see if they can’t work something out. 2008 draftees Michael Del Zotto and Derek Stepan will be in New York this week to go through the annual […]
