Putting Out The Brash
Nothing feels quite so good as getting rid of something you don’t really want, especially something that has been taking up valuable space in your garage…like that old lawn mower, refrigerator, sofa or overpriced NHL contract to player who doesn’t have the goods any more. Unfortunately in the NHL world, it’s not quite as easy […]
It Comes Down To One Game
It comes down to one game. Today at 3pm, the Rangers take on the Flyers in Philadelphia to decide who will get in the playoffs and who will go home early. It doesn’t matter whether it’s in regulation, overtime, or in the shootout, the team that comes away with two points today will get a […]
Quiet Day For Rangers
The official NHL deadline has passed, and the Rangers will finish the season with pretty much the roster they went into the Olympic break with. The only move they made today, a switch of minor league forwards with the Detroit Red Wings involving Jordan Owens and Kris Newbury. Neither player is like to have much impact at the […]
Olympics Are Done: Game On!
The Rangers will reassemble Monday for their first practice since the Olympic break started two weeks ago, and they’ll face the daunting prospect of finding a way back into the top eight in the East.

Should they?
The Rangers realize they still need some pretty drastic roster changes. The good news is most of the future deletions involve veterans.

More likely […]

A Rivalry Renewed
The more things change the more they stay the same. Tonight’s match-up between the Rangers and Devils marks the start of the 27th season series between the two teams. From the very first year in 1982-83, when the teams split the season 3-3-1, this has been a case of five star dining versus meat and […]
Opening Night Statistics
The Rangers are set for their 2009-10 season opener tonight in Pittsburgh (7:30pm – MSG) and they’ll be looking to extend their unbeaten streak in the first game of the season to five games.

The Official Unofficial Season Preview
As we sit on the eve of the NHL season, it’s time to take stock of the team we have. The Rangers officially kick their 2009-10 campaign off in Pittsburgh against the defending Stanley Cup champion Penguins. And what a difference a year makes. Around this time last year, the Rangers were one of four […]
No More Drama, But…
by AveryGod Their have been some significant changes made to the New York Rangers since I last wrote an article. It’s nothing huge enough to blow your mind but significant to say the least. Nikolai Zherdev finally had his case heard for arbitration and basically won. Even though it wasn’t the reported $4.5 million he was looking […]
