A New Member Of The 400 club

In the ninety one year history of the New York Rangers a total of one thousand and twenty nine players have worn the Broadway Blueshirt.  Of those, only sixty seven have appeared in four hundred or more regular season games as a Ranger. Tonight that group will grow by one more, when Ryan McDonagh appears in his […]

Questions Abound For New Rangers

The Rangers open their 2013-14 season this Thursday against the Phoenix Coyotes, the first of nine games on the road to start the season as the MSG rennovations are finally completed.  It’s a tough road for a team that appears to be in somewhat disarray following a pre-season where they went 1-5, being outscored to […]

Benoit Pouliot Added

The Rangers have added former first round pick Benoit Pouliot to the roster, signing the Ontario native to a 1 year, $1.3M deal.  Pouliot provides some additional depth on the wing, albeit more likely a sometime second liner, and mostly third liner.  The Rangers are expected to miss Ryan Callahan and Carl Hagelin for some time to start the season, as […]

Rangers Open Up With Blockbuster Trade

Glen Sather has kicked off the Rangers’ summer with a blockbuster deal that has sent Scott Gomez to the Montreal Canadiens along with prospects Tom Pyatt and Michael Busto in exchange for Christopher Higgins, Doug Janik, Ryan McDonagh and Pavel Valentenko. The move transfers the remaining five years (at just over $7.3M per year) of the Alaskan native’s contract to Montreal and frees up some substantial […]

Betts And Sjostrom Are Killing It

The NHL All-Star break continues, with commissioner Gary Bettman threatening to suspend any player who doesn’t show up for the event in Montreal. Niklas Lidstrom and Pavel Datsyuk may yet change their minds, or face the prospect of missing a regular season game as a result. In the mean time, Larry Brooks makes the case […]

Playoff Picture

A loss by the Senators last night means the Rangers remain in fifth. Unfortunately the Devils also won, which means that the Bueshirts still need help to get to 4th spot, perhaps tonight when the Bruins meet the Devils. New York can clinch a playoff spot tonight if the Hurricanes lose in regulation. If Carolina loses, […]

Training Camp – Center

Going into July 1st, there were nothing but questions as to who would play center for the Rangers. Negotiations with Michael Nylander had gone nowhere, Matt Cullen had proved to be only a minimal improvement over Steve Rucchin and the Rangers had finished the season using Sean Avery as a stop gap second line center. Less than 24 hours later and the situation […]
