A Wild Afternoon at MSG
Today’s New York Rangers-Edmonton Oilers game had all the makings of a trap game for the home team. The Rangers could’ve just figured, “Eh, they’re awful. This is the last game of a road trip during which they got pummeled 7-1 by Carolina and 6-2 by Detroit.” They could’ve got caught up in the whole [...]
Turning 2 Negatives Into A Positive
I sat down yesterday evening with the full intent on writing about some New York Rangers negatives. First I was thinking about writing about how lifeless both the team and the crowd were in Sunday night’s loss to the St. Louis Blues. But thinking about it was just making me as bored as I was [...]
Rowing In The Same Direction
What a difference a week makes. Following the New York Rangers’ home opener on October 15th, the news was pretty grim. No Vinny Prospal, no Chris Drury, and worst of all, no Marian Gaborik for a few weeks. The Rangers responded last Monday with a lackluster effort against the Colorado Avalanche, losing 3-1 before heading [...]
Two Left Wings and a Prayer
I’m really excited that New York Rangers training camp officially opening today. It’s a clean slate. It’s time to forget about the shootout loss to Philadelphia that left them on the outside of the playoffs by one point and made the slog through the offseason even longer. I’m really trying my best to be positive [...]

Rangers “Shuffle” Roster, as They Search for a “W”
Nearly three-quarters of the season in the history books and a team that can’t seem to put up a consistent effort (let alone win a game), the Rangers front-office has done what they do best: overreact — only this time the Rangers didn’t go out and trade youth for patch-work parts, or use their money [...]
Wheel of Morality turn turn turn…
Y!’s Puck Daddy contributing Author Sean Leahy broke the news over Twitter and the NHL quickly confirmed that Pittsburgh forward Matt Cooke will be suspended 2 games and will be fined $29,268.30 (yeah nice round number there) for his high hit on Rangers rookie Artem Anisimov Saturday night at the Igloo. The hit came in [...]
Shots from the Point: 11/29/09
In this Edition: Matt Cooke and Anisimov, Jay McKee’s return schedule and the CBC calls Tenks dirty and in this case they are right. Matt Cooke and Artem Anisimov In the Saturday night opener of a home and home with the New York Rangers winger Matt Cooke took a run at Rangers rookie Artem Anisimov. [...]
Rangers vs. Panthers: Blueshirts Game Preview
As time permits, I will periodically write-up some game previews for the Rangers based on what’s been going on the past few games, news items from the week, and the opponent on tap. My first (early) attempt: New York Rangers vs. Florida Panthers: 11/21/09 The Florida Panthers, at 9-9-2, seem like the ideal team for [...]
NY Rangers: A Little Patience Will Go A Long Way
One of the greatest aspects of being a sports fan in New York is the passion that every team supporter wears on their sleeve. Literally, you can walk to the streets of New York, stop for ten seconds to talk to a Yankees fan, and you’ll be sure to get their take on the current [...]
Rangers Starting To Look Good
Well, tonight we saw a hockey team compete. I know that it is only pre-season, but it looks like the Rangers are coming to form, and we saw an unfamiliar face tonight that we would love to see a lot of as the season progresses. Not only did Marian Gaborik play tonight, but he notched [...]
Analyzing the 2009-2010 New York Rangers
On the eve of the unrestricted free agency period, Glen Sather began the annual remaking of the New York Rangers by shipping Scott Gomez and his bloated contract to the Montreal Canadiens in exchange for Chris Higgins and A-List defensive prospect, Ryan McDonagh. By shedding Gomez’s contract, Sather cleared the way to sign the uber [...]
