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...

Jack Adams Award
Posted on 17 Feb 2012 by Patrick McLellan.
The tail spinning Blackhawks finally put an end to their nine game winless skid last night at Madison Square Garden. They jumped out to a quick 4–0 lead against the Rangers with a penalty shot, a screen shot, and two breakaway goals all in the first few minutes. Although it was against back up goalie Martin Biron (and the sarcastic MSG crowd started chanting “Henrik! Henrik!” after the se...

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...

Rangers’ Little Engine That Could
Posted on 8 Mar 2011 by Margaret DeJesus.
The 2010-2011 Rangers bear a certain resemblance to a popular children's story. The Little Engine That Could in his shiny blue coat of paint embodies a message of the power of hard work coupled with belief in oneself. A small engine can accomplish big things if it tries hard enough. Or as Coach John Tortorella would say, “grind it out.” But belief needs to be channeled into action ...

Ranger Clause Weighs in: Who’s Been Naughty or Nice?
Posted on 24 Dec 2010 by Margaret DeJesus.
Based on their performance since this October, here's who's worthy of a lump of coal and should be on Santa's Naughty list: Marian Gaborik:Last season the Slovak sniper netted 42 goals and 44 assists, at the top of the Blueshirts' offensive class. This season, he's very quietly put up 19 points in 22 games. Multi-point games have been few and far between. One night he's up, the next night he'...

Captain Drury Cleared to Play, Kids Still Alright
Posted on 13 Dec 2010 by Margaret DeJesus.
Chris Drury will likely return to the Rangers lineup Wednesday when they face the Pittsburgh Penguins. The captain got the green light to return to action on Sunday after the latest X-ray on his left index finger looked clean. He re-broke the same finger injured in training camp during the home opener back in October. His return means somebody is going to get the boot. The hardworking youngins ...

Matt Gilroy Left Out
Posted on 24 Nov 2010 by Margaret DeJesus.
When Michal Rozsival suits up this weekend, Matt Gilroy will likely be in a suit in the press box. Rozsival is expected to return from his shoulder injury by next week. Bad news for the right-handed D-man Gilroy who’s been hung out to dry playing the unnatural left side. He’s steadily improved and looked more comfortable shooting the puck and jumping in on the rush. But if Coach Tortorella...

Evgeny Grachev Movin’ On Up; Anisimov, Rosival Not Too Shabby
Posted on 28 Oct 2010 by Margaret DeJesus.
Forward Evgeny Grachev has been called up from the Hartford Wolfpack to the big leagues, for now. Although Artem Anisimov left injured against the Thrashers Wednesday night after the puck hit his ankle, he is expected to play tomorrow night. Coach John Tortorella has cleared him to play after an MRI revealed no serious damage was done. Grachev will likely fill in for Derek Boogaard who left pr...

New York Rangers 2010-2011: For Better or For Worse?
Posted on 15 Sep 2010 by Margaret DeJesus.
It’s mid September already and the kids are back to school and the Blueshirts are headed to camp. Another fall of great expectations is on the horizon. Last season, the Rangers were like those students you encountered back in elementary school that never really did any assignments and never had a good excuse why. Here are seven things that can get the Rangers in better shape this time aroun...

Sunshine State Success!
Posted on 5 Apr 2010 by Dan Rakusan.
The New York Rangers aren't willing to go down without a fight, as shown by their trip through Florida. First, they beat the defensively inept Tampa Bay Lightning by a 5-0 margin, and then they took their show to Miami, where they downed the perpetually rebuilding Panthers by a 4-1 mark. Without getting into game specifics, both games were a sign that the Rangers actually can play like a good...
