Unusual Suspects
Before the 2013 playoffs, Derek Stepan and Carl Hagelin had one goal between them in 42 combined playoff games. After four games with the Washington Capitals, the pair have emerged as offensive leaders with two goals each, including both Game Winners by Derek Stepan. Derick Brassard meanwhile had never played a playoff game before joining the Rangers, missing out on the only […]
Summer of Love
It may sound counter intuitive, but the Rangers are likely to struggle this season, and could easily miss the playoffs for the second time in three years. You certainly wouldn’t come to that conclusion if you were to read the papers and what pundits the pundits are writing. The general consensus is that General Manager Glen […]
So Many Rumors, So Much Nonsense
by AveryGod New York Rangers sign Sam Klassen and re-sign Enver Lisin. Yet there is still no decision on Brandon Dubinsky but it’s not a surprise. The last week and a half has been relatively quiet for the Rangers. Little signings here and there with an occasional trade is just proof that there are not many moves left to be […]
Game On!
Just three weeks since training camp opened for the Rangers. 151 days since the Rangers last played a meaningful game. Some 813 days since the NHL and NHLPA announced that they’d reached a tentative agreement to end the lockout. 1127 days since the Rangers completed a purge that changed the face of the organization. And […]
Rangers Right The Ship On West Coast
by Cliff Auld I cannot help but wonder if the Rangers 3-1 West Coast road trip will be regarded as a turning point, or just another good streak amongst the peaks and valleys of the long NHL season, but either way the timing was perfect for the Rangers. With trade rumors swirling and the Rangers […]
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 […]
On Schedule
Well it’s been a relatively slow week in Rangerland, so I figured I’d spend the time to take a look a the 2006-07 schedule that came out almost two weeks ago now. Okay, so first question. When was the last time the Rangers opened the regular season with a home game? The correct answer of […]
Dark Days
These are dark days to be a Ranger fan, there is no doubt about that. A franchise record seven years without the playoffs in the easiest league in which to qualify, a league high salary over that time and a General Manager who is wildly unpopular with the fan base. And to top things off, […]
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 […]
A Messy Situation
by Matt Pennino (OutsideTheGarden.com) – It’s now August and so far there has been no word on whether or not “The Messiah” will return for another season. All that has been read has concerned him going on fishing trips, and most recently a wedding. While we ponder about what’s going through his head, there are […]
