Line up Set For Season Opener
Rangers have forecast their line-up for tonight, with the exception of the goaltender – who will be shared during warm-ups. With a game tomorrow night, it would seem the expectation currently is to use one guy tonight, and the other tomorrow at the home opener against Dallas. In terms of surprises, there are none from […]
Another 48 Hours
The Rangers were bad opening night, and really there was little to take from it. Igor Sheshterkin missed saves you’d expect him to make, and the offense, defense and special teams all looked ill prepared for the start of the season. Jack Johnson‘s penalty less than two minutes into the game set the tone for what […]

Here we go

That sore spot motivating people like Rick Nash, Marc Staal and Dan Girardi is critical to any potential […]
Rangers go down in season opener
The Rangers opened up their 2012-13 season with a 3-1 loss to the Boston Bruins, a game in which they had no answer for a well prepared team. The Bruins dictated the play for much of the game, and only a screen shot from Brad Richards managed to make it past goaltender Tukka Rask. For New York, […]
Opening Night
The Rangers officially kick off their 85th season tonight in Buffalo, when they square off against the Sabres.
