Rangers v Canes
Extreme Views by RangerExtreme Well the Rangers opened up their season with a 3-1 loss against The Carolina Hurricanes Friday night in which saw the Rangers get beat by of all things a game winner from Darren Langdon.

The Negativity Manifesto
by PenYada I’ve been reading the various Rangers message boards on the ‘net, and there seems to be an overriding feeling of disappointment and negativity by many of the posters. Then there are those posters who come on and express dismay at having to read so many negative comments. My response is….WELL WHAT DO YOU […]
Game On!
Pre-season is now officially over…the next game is for real, as the New York Rangers travel to Carolina to face the Hurricanes this Friday night. The Rangers went 4-4-1 in their nine games, but only now is the team starting to show some cohesion. Eric Lindros initially looked tentative after his long layoff but has […]
