Is This The Year?
Last season exceeded our expectations by some margin. 52 wins, career years for a number of Rangers – including 52 goals by Chris Kreider, along with the Vezina winning performance in net from Igor Shesterkin, were all components of a very enjoyable campaign last season. Then a post season run that saw them ultimately exit in the […]
Day 2 – Team C Wins Scrimmage
The second day of training camp is in the books, and the Rangers continue to conduct a scrimmage in the morning, followed by on-ice work later in the day.

It Makes Some Sort Of Cents
How would you feel if the Rangers traded 22 year old Filip Chytil? What about if former second overall pick Kaapo Kakko was traded? What if they both get traded? Because that could be very well where we’re heading this Summer as the Rangers look to compete for the Cup now, and do so with little Salary Cap […]
Rangers Clinch Playoffs With 9 Remaining
Going into last night’s game, the Rangers needed two points to clinch their first playoff appearance since 2016-17 – the Play-in series of the shortened 2019-20 excluded.

Rangers Pass A Test
Three minutes and fifty seconds into last night’s matchup with the Toronto Maple Leafs, Ryan Reaves took a holding penalty.

To say the […]
Report Card: 20 Games
Twenty games into the 2021-22 season, and the Rangers have started to find their game, improving their overall play as Igor Shesterkin and Adam Fox continue to lead the way. The loss of Sammy Blais to an injury has lead to more ice time for the likes of Julien Gauthier and Dryden Hunt, and both players have shown some promising improvements. While most of […]
Report Card: After 10
