Rangers V. Washington – A Preview – Updated
Posted on 15 Apr 2009 by Dan Rakusan.
At the start of the season, it looked like the Rangers would breeze into the playoffs. However, 82 games later, and one can only breathe a sigh of relief that the season didn't end on Masters weekend… Yes, it was that close. Thanks in large part to some shrewd deadline acquisitions and a coaching change, the Rags did manage to crawl into the post-season, finishing 7th in the Easte...

Make Or Break Night
Posted on 7 Apr 2009 by Dan Rakusan.
Well folks, here we sit at the crossroads of the season. The Rangers welcome (or at least host) the suddenly decent Montreal Canadiens in a game that could decide the fate of any playoff aspirations our Boys In Blue might have. It's a gut-wrenching matchup for the Rags, as they have not been particularly successful against the “Les Habs” this season, and also because this is ...

Time For A Gut-Check
Posted on 4 Apr 2009 by Dan Rakusan.
Ladies and gentlemen of Ranger Nation, we dodged a potentially fatal blow last night, and it is time to start sweating bullets. If not for the suddenly competent Atlanta Thrashers, the Rangers would have started their Saturday looking at the playoff picture from the outside-in. But the Thrash defeated the Florida Panthers by a 3-1 score to keep our beloved Rags in 8th place. Today, a potenti...

Rangers Face Devils In Key Matchup – LIVE BLOG
Posted on 30 Mar 2009 by Dan Rakusan.
Tonight's NHL schedule is very light, with only 3 games on tap. It's almost like Gary Bettman believes NFL football is still a direct competitor for hockey at this time of year, but I digress… The Rangers come in to tonight's divisional matchup with a best-case scenario of making the playoffs, and an outside chance of getting home-ice advantage in the first round. More l...

Two Very Important Points & In-Game Blog
Posted on 22 Mar 2009 by Dan Rakusan.
The title might make you think that there's two important things I want to say about tonight's matchup against the suddenly hot Ottawa Senators, but you'd be wrong. It's as literal as it gets. Tonight's game is as close as you can get to a must-win situation without having the math to back it up. As the Montreal Canadiens continue to struggle (losing 5-2 to the Leafs...

Precipitous Finish Ahead
Posted on 19 Mar 2009 by Dan Rakusan.
I'd have loved to have called it a “climactic” finish ahead, but that would imply success, and quite frankly, I'm not entirely sold yet with this team. Sure, the Rangers have been better since the overdue replacement of Tom Renney behind the bench, but has the team really been markedly better enough to outpace the teams surrounding them in the standings? With 71 games in ...

Back In Business!
Posted on 3 Mar 2009 by Dan Rakusan.
So, the Rangers faltered at first under the reign of new bench boss John Tortorella. Then, they showed the potential of what a different system can bring to a team, by trouncing the Colorado Avalanche 6-1 on Saturday. That being said, the roller-coaster just got a lot more fun, with the Rangers claiming maligned winger Sean Avery off re-entry waivers from the Dallas Stars. To be honest, I fi...

Rangers Ring Bell, More To Follow?
Posted on 25 Feb 2009 by Dan Rakusan.
As Kevin Lee posted in the shoutbox (nice scoop buddy!), the New York Rangers have claimed forward Mark Bell off of re-entry waivers from the Toronto Maple Leafs. Bell, who has yet to play in an NHL game this season, adds depth to the Rangers, as he can line up at either center or left wing. His contract is valued at $2M for this season and he carries a cap hit of $2,166,667, which will be sp...

Coach Canned!
Posted on 23 Feb 2009 by Dan Rakusan.
Well, the axe has finally dropped on Tom Renney, and he has been relieved of his head coaching position with the Rangers. This latest development hardly comes as much of a shock, as Renney's tenure was long speculated to be in jeopardy. With the Rangers' latest setback, last night's 3-2 overtime loss to the lowly Leafs, their perilous descent from post-season contention continu...

Rangers Lose In OT Again! No More #3!
Posted on 23 Feb 2009 by Dan Rakusan.
The Rangers seem to be a team that is mastering the extra-point system used in the NHL, a.k.a. – the LOSER point. The team went out and lost again tonight, this time to the lowly Maple Leafs, who by rights, shouldn't even be in the NHL this season, with their self-imposed rebuild… Anyway, full credit to Toronto for showing Rangers fans exactly what is wrong with our team̷...

Time For A Change?
Posted on 17 Feb 2009 by Dan Rakusan.
The New York Rangers are still in a playoff position as of this writing, but things have taken a nose-dive for the team. After leading the Atlantic Division for the better part of the first half of the season, the Rangers have tanked hard, and can only thank a strong start to the season for their current positioning within the Conference. What's the problem? It's easy to point ou...

Rangers After Dallas’ Sloppy Seconds? (UPDATED)
Posted on 6 Feb 2009 by Dan Rakusan.
Sean Avery is about to resume skating, after which it is expected the Dallas Stars will attempt to assign him to an AHL team for conditioning (and to be rid of him for good). With no AHL affiliate, the Stars will be looking for another team to accept him onto their farm team, and apparently the Rangers are willing to roll the dice! According to Hockeycentral today, the Rangers GM, Glen Sather,...
