Not Passing The Doobie!
Posted on 21 Jul 2011 by Dan Rakusan.
Well, it's official! The Rangers have avoided arbitration with cornerstone forward Brandon Dubinsky. Four years, $16.8 million seemed to work for both sides as the hearing was approaching on Thursday. This bodes well for the Rangers, who have now successfully re-signed 3 of 4 RFA players who filed for arbitration. The only one left is potential captain, Ryan Callahan, who is scheduled t...

New York Rangers Summer Playbook
Posted on 29 Jun 2011 by Margaret DeJesus.
Rangers' General Manager Glen Sather is like a kid in a candy store each July when free agents hit the market. He's got a knack for putting his faith [and checkbook] in the wrong name brands though and instead brought bubblegum busts to Broadway at overinflated expense. Wade Redden, Scott Gomez and Chris Drury are just a mere sampling. The Rangers have roughly $22 million to dish out for sal...

Rangers’ Draft Day Preview
Posted on 23 Jun 2011 by Margaret DeJesus.
The New York Rangers might not be making a big splash at the 2011 NHL Entry Draft with a 15th overall pick. Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and the other buzz names will all be scooped up early. But they still have the opportunity to land a scoring forward of the future to bring some depth. Rather than muscle, the Blueshirts should focus on hands, i.e. bringing in potential scoring talent. The blueline ha...

Lights go out on Broadway’s Season as Capitals Beat Rangers 3-1
Posted on 23 Apr 2011 by Margaret DeJesus.
Carpe diem — the Latin phrase meaning seize the day — was the answer the New York Rangers so desperately needed to advance in the playoffs. Their series with the number one seed Washington Capitals was also a series of moments and mistakes. Seize the moment, take the series. The Caps did just that as they went on to win 3-1 this afternoon in Game Five at the Verizon Center. Brian Bo...

New York Turns Up the Volume, But Drops Game 4 in Double OT
Posted on 21 Apr 2011 by Margaret DeJesus.
Game Four was an emotional roller coaster. Words can't possibly do it justice nor adequately explain. It was like watching a lively balloon spring to life, soaring high to the ceiling that slowly but surely sank lower and lower as it deflated. The Rangers hit their home ice to a rocking Garden on the heels of Capitals' coach Bruce Boudreau's (overblown) jabs at MSG. The thunderous cheers we...

Here are some lessons to takeaway from the Rangers 3-2 victory over the Capitals at the Garden: New York finally realized they need to score in regulation in order to get by in a playoff series. Bravo Erik Christensen,Vinny Prospal and Brandon Dubinsky. Christensen has eagle eyes.

Blueshirts Give Game 1 to the Caps
Posted on 13 Apr 2011 by Margaret DeJesus.
All they had to do was clear the zone. Less than two minutes left in overtime stuck in a stressful 1-1 tie, they still had a chance to win. With a captain and an all star defenseman at the helm, that shouldn't be hard right? But Chris Drury and Marc Staal weren't able to and in overtime of the first playoff game of round one in enemy territory, one mistake, one bad giveaway is all it takes to...

The Rangers avoided the worst possible scenario by winning their last game of the season and having Carolina help them out by losing theirs. So, they're back in the playoffs after a one year hiatus, and will face the Eastern Conference leading Washington Capitals. Seems like a foregone conclusion as to who will win this series, right? I don't think so… Breaking down this matchup is ...

Do or Die: It’s Out of their Hands
Posted on 8 Apr 2011 by Margaret DeJesus.
The Rangers had a golden opportunity last night to all but lock up a post season berth. An extra two points would have put them four points ahead of the ninth place dreamers chasing them. But the passionate Blueshirts were nowhere to be found. The Atlanta Thrashers silenced Madison Square Garden with a dominating 3-0 shutout. After a deflating two goals in fifteen seconds by the Thrashers, the ...
