Season Preview
It took more than three months to get the season started finally, but now as we head to the eve of the season opener against the Bruins, there is plenty of optimism around, and one goal in mind: win the Cup. With 34 fewer games this year, and an abbreviated camp and no preseason, it’s […]
Big Apple Turnover
Every year you expect some degree of turnover. Trades, free agency and injuries or conspire to change the face of an organization from year to year. With still more than seven weeks to go until camp opens up on September 21st, the Rangers once again will have some significant differences. Ten players who were on […]
Eminger Back In Line-up
Steve Eminger will return to the Rangers line-up tonight, in place of Anton Stralman. Eminger hasn’t played since the 2-0 loss to Pittsburgh on February 21st, and has been a healthy scratch in six straight games. He had earlier missed seven weeks due to injury, but did manage seven starts before being sent to the sidelines. Eminger […]
Woywitka To Debut Tonight
he Rangers will face the New York Islanders tonight – MSG 7:00pm EST – with two of their top four defensemen on the sidelines, paving the way for Jeff Woywitka to make his Rangers debut. The Blueshirts are looking for their first win of the season as they prepare to head out on a four game western […]
Rangers Staaled
A tough start to the season just got a whole lot tougher for the Rangers. The loss of Marc Staal for the beginning of the season to headaches, neck pain or concussion-like symptoms – depending on which story you prefer at any point – suddenly makes the defense look a whole lot less dependable. Yes it’s true […]

by Jamy Baron Today is the day we’ve all been waiting for. Henrik Lundqvist returns home to Sweden to play there for the first time since he left Frolunda to come to New York. Today will be an extremely emotional day for Henrik as he will be squaring off against his old teammates and will have many […]
Line-up Announced For Preseason Opener
John Tortorella announced the roster for tomorrow night’s preseason opener against the Devils, and as promised it’s a team with several young players, and few veterans. Surprisingly perhaps, Henrik Lundqvist will get his first action of the season backstopping a roster that features just eight players who played for the Rangers last year. Backing up Lundqvist in […]
Day 1 Summary
Day one of Rangers Training Camp started with 63 players on deck, but notably excluded from the list was veteran Wade Redden and prospects Randy McNaught and Chris Chappell. Redden will report directly to the Whale when they open up camp, while McNaught will return to the WHL. Chappell was not invited to camp last year either, and would seemingly […]
Camp Opens Tomorrow
With the Traverse City Prospects Tournament completed, attention now turns to Rangers training camp, set to get under way tomorrow with players reporting for physicals. First on-ice sessions will begin Saturday, with the preseason schedule kicking off next Wednesday against the Devils. Going into camp, there appears to be few questions. The Rangers have a well […]
Return of Eminger
The Rangers appear to have looked at the free agent market, and decided re-signing the known commodity was the better option. As predicted by Larry Brooks last week, the Rangers have signed Eminger for another year, albeit at the slightly lower rate of $800,000. The move means the Rangers now have five proven defensemen on […]
