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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

I guess this weekend was exciting if you love college basketball and nothing else.
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 defeat Ottowa Sens 2 -1 in a shootout last night at MSG for 3rd Win in a Row, extending their lead in the Division by 4 points over surging Boston…
Ok, lets not get too crazy here folks. I have watched most of these games and this team is not a world beater, just [...]

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 [...]

On the road today, so not much to update…
Great shoot out win by the Rangers last night. Rangers looked solid but Toskala of the Maple Leafs was the difference. Steven Valiquette was in the nets and made some amazing saves…They deserved to win this game.
Play the Red Wings tonight which will be a [...]
