Filtering GM Speak and Some Speculation
The feedback from Blackhawk fans concerning the July 1 acquisitions is mixed. Some feel change was needed and the new arrivals will help their favorite club progress next season. Others believe the Hawks are now an older, slower team. Both sides have valid points. Back on April 18, concerning the future direction of the Hawks [...]
Possibilities…
Without Troy Brouwer and Tomas Kopecky the Blackhawks are in need of a screen setter. Besides Jonathan Toews there isn’t anyone on the current roster who thrived in that role. Toews takes enough punishment and help is needed. Contract issues were probably not the main reason Brouwer and Kopecky are not with the Blackhawks. The [...]
Hawks Trade Brouwer and Dump Campbell
Sometimes things work out with an obvious trade partner. There was only one team that could swallow Brian Campbell’s contract and it was Dale Tallon’s Panthers. Stan Bowman somehow got Campbell to approve the deal and the rest is a math equation. I hesitate to call this transaction a trade. This wasn’t a talent for [...]
A Tale of 2 Games (Bad in One and Good in the Other)
The Rangers played 2 games in the last 2 nights, one against Philly where they were totally outplayed and lost 4-1, with the lone goal was tallied by Dubinsky and a total non-call on a head shot to Fedotenko by Dan Carcillo to tonight’s game against the Devils in Newark where they beat them 3-0 with [...]
Just Can’t Figure This Team Out At All
The Rangers have played 9 games and are 4-4-1 for 9 pts., but have played better on the road than at MSG, where they are an abysmal 1-3-1 which includes 2 straight losses to both Atlanta and Carolina this week. I thought that after they had lost Gaborik and Drury to injuries that they would be [...]
DAILY RUMORS: Flames Are Trying To Land NYR’s Brandon Dubinsky?
The Calgary Flames forward lines can be likened to a doughnut: good stuff on the outside but a big hole in the center. Despite the best efforts of GM Darryl Sutter it’s been a consistent nagging issue, one that hasn’t shown any significant improvement this season, especially with Daymond Langkow still sidelined from a cracked [...]
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, [...]
Rangers Drop out of Kovalchuk Sweeps
The New York Rangers are believed to be officially out of the Kovalchuk sweepstakes, or at least until the asking price on the rental drops. According to NY Post reporter Larry Brooks, posting via his Twitter account, the Thrashers are looking for a combination of packages that include: defenseman Marc Staal; defenseman Michael Del Zotto [...]
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, [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Nothing is Finer than a Win in Carolina
Hey everyone. This evening, the Rangers played down in Raleigh where they faced off against the Hurricanes and came away with a solid 3-1 win which gives them a 3 game winning streak for the first time since Mid-October. Once again, there were lots of good, solid game play and they got just enough offense [...]
The Slump Continues Despite Getting a Point
Hello everyone, well it was another game last night where the Rangers had an opportunity to steal 2 points and in the end, they managed to just get out with one against the Thrashers last night in a 3-2 SO loss. They seemingly outplayed Atlanta all night long and really showed lots of speed and [...]
