A Weekend of Wins, Hope Still Flickers, Somewhat
2 wins this weekend over Atlanta and Philly have given the Rangers some hope by pulling them within 1 point of Boston for the last playoff spot in the East although the Bruins have 2 games in hand which is huge this time of year. The Rangers played well enough to win over Atl 5-2 [...]
Stick a Fork in Em – Rangers R Done
Well folks, last nights latest debacle, a 6-3 loss to NJ just solidified what I have been saying now for quite a while. This team is a total train wreck and it is pretty much a foregone conclusion that they will miss the playoffs this year. Too many mistakes last night leading to Devil goals and [...]
2 More Games Down, 2 More Losses for the Inept Rangers
The Rangers showed this weekend that they truly are not worthy of a playoff spot come next month. They showed zip offensively losing 2-0 on Saturday in DC which was Auld’s NYR debut and it took a late goal by Dubinsky tonight to break a 149:30 goalless drought in a 2-1 OT loss to Buffalo [...]
Season Resumes with a Ranger Victory in Ottawa
Hey everyone, it’s been a couple of weeks since I have had to post about the Rangers and at least tonight they gave me something positive to talk about. They faced off against the Ottawa Senators at ScotiaBank Place and came away with a nice win which was a total team effort. Callahan had a pair, [...]
A Big Win in Their Final Regular Season Game at the Igloo
Tonight marked the last time the Rangers will ever play in that dump they call the Igloo during the regular season and they won in OT 3-2. This was an exciting game from both sides as there were many chances to score goals. Lundqvist was outstanding tonight and allowed only Sidney (Crybaby) Crosby to put [...]
Where are the Goals??? Couldn’t find em last night at MSG
Evening all, The Rangers played a game in front of an intimate crowd last night at the Garden and proceeded to lose yet again at home, this time to the Preds by a score of 2-1 and I started to wonder once again, where are the goals? But then I remembered that they don’t score [...]
Saturday Night Special – 3-1 Win and Henrik Stellar in Net for NYR
Tonight the Rangers faced off against the Devils and their new acquisition (rental) Kovalchuk and proceeded to play well against them at MSG. Lundqvist was simply all world in net tonight, and had to be that way in the 3rd as the Devils were desperately trying to get back in the game. In addition to [...]
A Half and Half Weekend Out West
The Rangers were out West to play a 3 game road trip and the first 2 games were played in Phoenix and Colorado back to back. The first game was indicative of how this season has been going in most of their games and the second game was something that we Ranger fans would like [...]
Where Do The Rangers Go From Here????
After tonight’s latest debacle, I am to ponder, where is this team now headed? They have now lost 4 in a row and are barely hanging on to a playoff spot at this point. They stunk out the joint tonight at MSG once again and the fans let them hear about it along with lots [...]
Another Game at MSG, and Yes, Another Home Loss
Thanks to Directv and Comcast, I had to resort to watch tonight’s game on my pc, but in the end, it really didn’t matter as the Rangers lost yet again to the Sidney Crybabies (Pens), making this latest one the 7th straight time. Hey at least they didn’t get shutout again, which would have been [...]
A Second Straight Stinker vs. Philly Tonight
I didn’t know what to expect this evening as the Rangers were in Philly to face the Flyers tonight; but it painful to watch as they couldn’t muster any offense at all, losing by a score of 2-0. The only thing that came out of the game was that Gaborik was manhandled and nobody came [...]
Slapping the Habs Around at the Garden
Wow, the Rangers finally figured out how to score some goals tonight when they scored 6 straight after trailing by a pair early on over Montreal at MSG. I was in shock at the total goals since they scored 1 in the previous 3 and looked like it was going to be another long night, [...]
Hitting Some Bad Notes in St. Louis
Tonight the Rangers were in St. Louis to play a game, but it ended up being a boring defensive type of game which proceeded to put me to sleep at times. A clear lack of effort was the key tonight as they lost by a score of 4-1 and they only had a goal by [...]
A Game for the Ages and Other Rants
Last night at the Garden there was a game played between the Devils and Rangers which ended in a 1-0 shootout loss for the Broadway Blues. This was exciting and kept people on the edge of their seats all night. This was also a rarity as both goalies recorded a shutout in the game and [...]
The Good Run Continues with a Solid Effort in Boston
Looks like our boys from Manhattan continue to surprise all of us as they make their climb up the Eastern Conference Standings with another solid win today up in Beantown over the struggling Bruins by a 3-1 count. They got goals from DelZotto, who scored his first since November; Christensen, and Dubinsky as well as [...]
Avery and The Rangers Take it to The Stars
How about that folks, the Rangers won a 2nd straight home game for the first time in over 2 months tonight 5-2 over the Dallas Stars at the Garden, and evened up their home record in 09-10. They also picked up 5 out of a possible 6 pts on a 3 game homestand. They played [...]
Rescuing the Night from a Certain OT or Shootout
Well whaddya know, the Rangers won a game tonight 3-2 over the Bruins at the Garden, as rare as that has become lately. What is even more shocking is that Higgins finally scored a goal at home this year and wowee, it was the game winner with 1:29 left in the 3rd. Actually I was [...]
More Solid Effort Tonight In Raleigh
I’m not gonna get too involved in the discussion about tonight’s game, but hey anything was better than the brutal no show they pulled last night at home. This one down in Raleigh was much better effort all around for them and what do you know, they won 2-1. They got good efforts from the [...]
Thanks to the Rangers for Not Showing Up To Play Tonight
Sitting down and writing this entry tonight, I’m at a loss for words since I can’t figure out this team and apparently, they can’t figure out themselves either. They went out there tonight and played one of the worst games I have ever seen whether in person or on TV and this after they played [...]
Tough OT Loss Tonight vs. Isles
After having the last 2 days off for the Xmas break, the Rangers played their second game of a 3 game home stand where they met up once again with the Islanders for the 3rd time in the last 10 days. This one unfortunately did not go the Rangers way as they lost in OT [...]
