Your New York Rangers get big win this week over Capitals in wild & wacky Shootout 5-4…I think more luck than anything else since their PP went o-fer again (a huge gap in this team’s success).  Maybe Sean Avery will give the spark they need but still too many parts from competing.    That is, if [...]

If the Rangers ever needed a HEART (See below), it is now.  5 Losses in a row including their unispired effort last night against the Devils.  Shut out 3 – 0.  Ughh.
How many more 50 shots can we take and hope to score???
I hate to say this, but the more losses we have, the more [...]

Dear Michal Roszival.  We dont hate you today.  Why? Because you scored 2 goals in the Rangers 3 -2 OT victory over the LA Kings last night.  One for a Penalty Shot.  Go figure…
Rangers are now 2 – 0 on their sole west coast swing this year.  Not too shabby.  Rangers improve overall to 22 [...]

Rangers thrash the Devils last night 5 – 2.  A very sweet victory indeed for a game played in MSG West (NJ Prudential Center).  I couldnt hear “You Cant Beat Us” but I am sure the sentiment was there.
The game was started by Kevin Weekes (ha ha, you are stuck with him now Devil fans) [...]

So I picked 4th in my draft. Got Dany Heatley of the Senators. Got 3 goals already. What a bunch of suckers. Actually, it would have been nice to get Alex Ovechkin, Sid the Kid Crosby or Evgeni Malkin. We’ll see how it turns out. No bragging when only [...]

This was the inaugural game for the Victoria Cup, which was created by the International Ice Hockey Federation in its [...]

Hollywood legend, philantrhopist and Icon Paul Newman passed away at the age of 83 late on Friday 9/26.  Hands down one of my favorite actors.  Too many great roles to mention, but since we are hooked on sports, was in one of the most underrated films in history “Slapshot”.
Reviews panned this movie when it debuted [...]

Rangers cut Petr Nedved from training camp roster.  At least he has earned this press today. 
I totally called it.  Well, I thought he would sign with the Devils, but looking more towards Europe.  A decent career as well.  For a few non playof years, Nedved was the Rangers only true star but couldnt lead the [...]

No time to waste when talkin’ hockey…
Here is the 2008 training camp roster for your New York Rangers.  Question is, who the heck are these guys?
With Jagr and Avery out to pasture, this is now Chris Drury and Scott(y) Gomez’ team.  How ironic.
Rangers did make a big splash with the FA signings of Markus Naslund [...]
