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 [...]

One Game for a Playoff Spot – Rangers Still Alive
The Rangers have allowed themselves to play for a playoff spot on Sunday by beating the Flyers 4-3 in the first of a season ending home and home series. It was a nail-biting affair in which both sides had momentum and in the end, Lundqvist came up huge for them and Gaborik had the game [...]
Their Amazing Trip Continues with Another Big Win
Just when you thought that the Rangers may be left for dead after they were trailing 1-0 against the Panthers after 2 periods tonight, they came out like a house of fire and kept them on their heels and scored 4 times enroute to a huge 4-1 win which pulled them into an 8th place [...]
Signs of Life from the Rangers

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 [...]
Slovakia Wins Wild One Against Russians
In a night of Olympic shootouts, the Russia vs. Slovakia battle did not disappoint. Down by one after the second period, Slovakia rallied back to force the overtime frame tied at 1 apiece. After sudden death solved nothing, a shootout was required to cap off the exciting matchup. Slovakia scored the game winner in the [...]
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 [...]
A Zenith and Two Nadirs
If you graphed the last 10 days’ worth of Rangers goal scoring activity, you’d get something resembling the EKG of a man who’s suddenly roused from his vegetative state when nurse Va-Va-Voom enters his room and performs the Dance of the Seven Veils. She leaves the room, and the patient goes to Philadelphia and gets [...]
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, [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
