Possible Milestones This Season
With the season opener set for tonight in Washington, several Rangers look to hit new milestones this season, frontlined by the longest tenured Chris Kreider. With his inclusion in the line-up tonight, Kreider looks to be just the 40th player to appear in 10 different regular season contests. He is still some ways back of Rod Gilbert‘s […]
Hagelin Strikes Lightning Twice
In four games last season, Carl Hagelin had just one assist against the Lightning. This year he already has three goals and two assists in the two games between the two clubs. In fact, Hagelin hasn’t registered a point in the other nine games he’s played this year. Dan Girardi went from a team equalling worst -3 plus/minus […]
Deja Blue
For those of you who’ve been following the team long enough to remember the pre-lockout days, you’ll be no doubt familiar with the position the Rangers find themselves today.

It surprised me […]

Petr Nedved and Lauri Korpikoski scored the goals, as the Rangers dominated play, but were unable to convert many opportunities. Henrik Lundqvist was perfect through two periods, and played down stories about his knees, saying he’s fine. Matt Zaba came in, in the third period and […]

Sather Knows Best
by Cliff Auld Back on March 3, 2004 who would have ever fathomed that the New York Rangers would be predicted by some to win the 2007 Stanley Cup?. Who would have even believed Glen Sather would still be employed by the New York Rangers roughly 2 ½ years later? See it was on that […]
