Rangers pick up 2 players today to fit 2 immediate needs at the Trade Deadline. Center Nik Antropov from the Maple Leafs (6′6″ monster with a scoring touch, but enigmatic – sound familiar?) and Defense Derek Morris from the Phoenix Coyotes. Big D with a big shot, which addresses the need on the [...]

Sean Part Deux!
In the most unsurprising move of the 2008-09 Rangers season, Sean Avery is back on the Rangers.  Thanks to some underhanded dealings from Glen Sather to the Dallas Stars (to be revealed after the season is over I am certain).
Now for a brief but glorious bio of his Ranger days:
Sean Avery has skated [...]

So is this the man that will lead the New York Rangers to the promised land?  In Rangerland, the expectations have been so dampered, that we are just hoping to make the playoffs.  I knew that we would cool after the hot 10 -2 start, but never figured we would stop scoring altogether.
Sather is a [...]

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 [...]

As always, Rangers do up it up with class and with the classiest Ranger ever (at least in the pas 20 years).  No one worked harder and fought for teammates better than Adam Graves.
Not just talking about the goals he scored, but what he meant to the team overall.
I remember when we got him from [...]

Watched the NHL All Star Game and Skill Competition only because they were on TV.  Basically pond hockey for the pros.
Lets see if the Rangers can not just make the playoffs but finish strong.  Will be interested in seeing what happens at [...]

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) [...]

Just a quick hit here. Your New York Rangers played great in stretches on Sat night but still cannot beat the dreaded Red Wings. Had them down 4-3 late in 3rd and a bench minor for too many men on ice. That has to be on Tom Renney. Wings score on [...]

Dear Ranters,
I have posted below the actual video of Alexei Cherepanov (#7) on the Omsk bench after he collapsed and was carried out by teammates.  As stated below, the new “news” is that Jaromir Jagr (his teammate) apparently elbowed him after coming onto the bench.
Anything to make this story more spectacular.  What a load of [...]
