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...

Posted on 9 Apr 2011 by Margaret DeJesus.

Big thanks to Tampa Bay's Marty St.Louis...

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 ...

Blueshirts Must Persevere Without Their Soul Man
Posted on 5 Apr 2011 by Margaret DeJesus.
The up and down trend of the season continued for the Rangers. A thrilling 5-3 comeback victory over the Bruins was followed with some bad news. Really bad news. Their “soul” man and alternate (soon-to-be) captain Ryan Callahan fractured his ankle last night doing what he does best — playing his heart out. He suffered the injury after blocking a monster slap shot by Boston’s...

It’s Times Like These…
Posted on 4 Apr 2011 by Margaret DeJesus.
You learn to love the Rangers again. Admit it. When Daniel Paille, Nathan Horton, and Chris Kelly scored straight to give the Bruins a cozy three goal lead, you thought it was over. Maybe not the season, but the game at least looked far out of reach. The B's had 19 shots on goal in the first period alone. Veteran Vinny Prospal who battled his way back into the lineup this winter following kn...

One Step Closer to Knowing
Posted on 3 Apr 2011 by Margaret DeJesus.
Henrik Lundqvist shook off the déjà vu he must have felt at the Wells Fargo Center this afternoon. In a tight game to kick off spring with a playoff berth on the line and a looming shootout, Lundqvist came out the victor this time around. Last year–in the last game of the season–the Rangers missed the playoffs by a point in a shootout loss to the Flyers in Philly. The Blueshirts...

Heartbreak on Long Island
Posted on 31 Mar 2011 by Margaret DeJesus.
Scratch your head and rub your eyes all you want. The score was 6-2 for New York, but not the team you’d expect. Spoiler alert: the Rangers blew it. The Islanders unraveled the Rangers who looked lifeless in what was supposed to be a match for their playoff lives. The Isles – second to last place with nothing to play for – were party poopers looking for payback. They were hungrier, gritti...

Rangers Lose Two Crucial Points to Sabres
Posted on 30 Mar 2011 by Margaret DeJesus.
The Rangers stuck to the all too familiar spring storyline—close, but no cigar. Or better yet, make that too close for comfort, no cigar. With the Buffalo Sabres breathing down their neck in eighth place and the Carolina Hurricanes on the outside in ninth place clamoring to enter the playoff ranks, the Rangers needed two points tonight. They left Buffalo with none. The untimely loss drops the...

Henrik Lundqvist: The Swedish Frank White
Posted on 26 Mar 2011 by Adam Gavriel.
What is there to say about this guy that hasn’t been said already? The Rangers had no clue what they were going to get when they took him with the 205th overall pick in the 2000 draft. Today in Boston Henrik continued his godlike run in trying to put the Rangers on his back and get them to the playoffs. In his last three games he’s been given three total goals as offensive support, and ...

The Exception and Not the Rule
Posted on 25 Mar 2011 by Adam Gavriel.
Last night’s game, chalk it up to that. We know what this Rangers team is capable of, and after three straight games of 5 goals or more it’s not uncommon to watch a team struggle offensively. And that’s precisely what we’re seeing from this Rangers team who has not scored more than 1 goal in its past two games, on the bright side? Their record in those games is 1-0-1…not exactly ...
