2003-04 Ex-Ranger All-Stars
For the fourth consecutive year, Outside The Garden has searched around the league for the best and fairest of former Ranger players and properties. This year things were a little more exciting with the addition of several high profile players to the “Ex-Ranger” ranks when GM Glen Sather purged the roster of a number of […]
2002-03 Ex-Ranger All Stars
As we head into what can only be described as a surprising Stanley Cup Finals series between the New Jersey Devils and Mighty Ducks of Anaheim, it is once again time to look at the best and fairest amongst those who were once Rangers. With the loss of John Vanbiesbrouck and Ray Ferraro to retirement […]
At The Center Of It All
Going into the 2002-03 season the Rangers looked set up in at least one position, center ice. With Lindros, Nedved, Holik and Messier as well as the likes of Lundmark, Lyashenko and Donato in the system, it appeared that if anything the Rangers would finally have the dominating presence down the middle of the ice […]
All-Star Farce
by Adam Raider We’re proud of quiet man Tom Poti. The Blueshirt blueliner will never win acclaim for his defensive prowess, but the kid sure can score. Reminds you a bit of Reijo Ruotsalainen, no? When it was determined that Brian Leetch would not participate in this year’s NHL All-Star Game, Poti seemed a logical […]

Christmas In July
by Chris Ruddick Thank god the broken air conditioner in my car reminded how hot it was, because I thought I saw snowflakes falling from the sky. Glen Sather must feel like the luckiest man on the face of the earth right now. After years of having to sit on his hands with the money-strapped […]
Getting Out The Checkbook
by Matt Pennino July 1st is only hours away so lets take a look at who is out there and if the Rangers have a realistic chance in signing them. Bobby Holik – The Rangers have an excellent chance in getting him. There will definitely be quite a few teams interested in his services so […]
Time To Bring In A Big Time Coach
by Dave Gokhstein I wrote in my last article that I would like to see Brian Trottier coaching the Rangers next season, but it I’m pretty sure that the Rangers will have a coach in place before the Avs get knocked out the playoffs. There’s talk about Mike Keenan leaving the Panthers and coming back […]
2000-01 All Ex-Ranger Team
There’s no doubt that summer is far too long for many Blueshirts fans. Far too long over the last four years, where we’ve gone almost six months a year without a game to allay our thirst for Rangers hockey. The NHL Entry draft (In late June) and the various free agent signings provoke some discussion, […]
