Rangers Vs. Capitals Playoff preview
Posted on 2 May 2013 by Eric O'Connell.
Here we go again. For the fourth time in the last five years the Caps and Rangers will meet in the playoffs. And this year it may end up being the most exciting. The Caps and their captain spent most of the year reliving their past as they struggled through the worst division in hockey and experts told everyone they were done. Then they roared back. Ovechkin came form 11 goals down to lead the ...

The Worm In The Big Apple
Posted on 26 Mar 2013 by Dan Rakusan.
I realize this season is going to go down with a huge asterisk beside it due to the lockout and all that good stuff, but I still can't put my finger on what is wrong with the New York Rangers. Despite picking up high-scoring winger Rick Nash, this team seems to be in complete disarray. One would think that with a potential top line of Nash, Brad Richards and Marian Gaborik, scoring would be s...

What is Wrong with The Rangers
Posted on 17 Mar 2013 by Eric O'Connell.
Last week when I was here it appeared the Rangers had righted the ship. Nash was scoring, Lundqvist was returning to Vezina form, and things were looking up for the slow starting Rangers. Well then this week happened. They won against Washington 4-1 and then dropped three in a row, including stinkers over Buffalo and Winnipeg. You may recall a few weeks ago the Rangers had another three game ...

Next Man Up
Posted on 6 Mar 2013 by Eric O'Connell.
While I went on my Spring Break and took a break from posting, I did not expect the Rangers to also take a break from playing hockey. But then they dropped four in a row in an ugly fashion. They were pushed around, out grinded, and looked generally lost on the ice. Basically, the complete opposite of how last years team played. Just when it looked like the Rangers were done for, they pulled it ...

Rangers Restart
Posted on 9 Feb 2013 by Eric O'Connell.
Going into Tuesday's dispirited 3-1 loss against the Devils the Rangers knew they needed to make some changes so that they could get back to last season's winning ways. The Rangers then made a number of changes to the roster. First, they traded forward Mike Rupp to Minnesota for forwards Darroll Powe and Nick Palmieri. The Wild were looking for a big enforcer to protect their stars while th...

Rangers Show Improvement
Posted on 30 Jan 2013 by Eric O'Connell.
What a difference a week makes. After two quality wins over the Maple Leafs and the Flyers the Rangers have gotten back to a 3-3-0 record and appear to be shaking off the rust. As well as the Blue Shirts have played these past two games though, the injury to Ryan Callahan puts a damper on win streak. Callahan took exception to the way Maxime Talbot was crashing the crease and pulled him aside t...

Ranger impressions of week one
Posted on 25 Jan 2013 by Eric O'Connell.
Suffice to say the first week of the 2013 season sis not get off to the start the Rangers or their fans wanted. The team is 1-3-0 after facing Boston twice, Pittsburgh, and Philadelphia. As was the trend for most teams sloppy play and shaky defensive has plagued the team thus far. While every team has those issues, the Rangers do need to find their game soon. I think that has been reflective ...

Rangers Season Preview
Posted on 18 Jan 2013 by Eric O'Connell.
With only a little more than 24 hours until the puck drops on the NHL season now is the perfect time to preview the season for the New York Rangers. The Rangers will play a 48 game season against only eastern conference teams. This also includes more divisional games, such as playing the Penguins and Flyers five times each. The key to this season will be never going on a prolonged losing streak...

Let there be hockey. After a reported 16 hour meeting last week the NHL and NHLPA came to a “tentative agreement” to end the lockout that has claimed almost half the season. The owners voted yesterday to approve the new CBA and the players are voting now to approve the deal. A week of training camp is slated to begin Sunday and the 48 game season is set to open Saturday January 19th...

NHL and Players Still Wide Apart
Posted on 18 Oct 2012 by Eric O'Connell.
The NHLPA met with the NHL today to discuss three new proposals, which the league rejected in 15 minutes. That is not a typo. The owners and Commissioner Gary Bettman looked over three proposals and dismissed all three in fifteen minutes according to a press conference today by Donald Fehr. Just 48 hours ago it looked like hockey would be back soon when the NHL offered a new deal that saw a 50-...

Earlier today the NHL made an offer to the NHLPA that has taken many by surprise and created a real sense of optimism in hockey fans that hasn't been seen in weeks. Not every detail has been released from the offer but the key facts we know of are the following: - The deal is a 50-50 split of HRR (Hockey Related Revenue) - The players will face no rollback on current salary. This was a big issu...

The Rangers and the NHL Lockout
Posted on 18 Sep 2012 by Eric O'Connell.
At 12:01 AM September 15 the NHL officially locked out the players for the second time in eight years. After three days the sides have had minimal contact with each other, though the NHLPA released a video and the NHL a statement to the fans. The second in commands of the NHLPA and NHL, Steve Fehr and Bill Daly, have been talking with each other via phone everyday. The two sides are expected to...
