This is as well as the Rangers have played in any three-game stretch this season, includng the seven-game winning streak … all against good Eastern teams. And I still don’t think they’ve nearly hit their stride, even at 10-2 in the last 12 and 7-0 in the last seven at… Read More →

Game 21—or the “sort of” one-quarter pole. Ya boys on a two-game winning streak and a run of six consecutive wins on Garden ice.

OK, I’m mildly curious to see the Rangers’ Winter Classic jersey—cream colored, old-school look, and throwback Rangers crest—today. Mildly. Of course, you guys are probably more excited than I, especially those of youse who might do exactly what the NHL/Rangers want you go do: dig deep and buy one. Anyway,... Read More →

Game 20. Sort of the one-quarter mark of the season (I guess that would be at the 10:00 mark of the second period of the next game, technically). First meeting of the season with the Flys, so let the blah-blah-blah-blah about the Winter Classic commence. I’m sure by the end… Read More →
Temper the giddiness over the six goals for a moment, because, well, you have to realistically say that some of that was on Michal Neuvirth and some of that was on a Washington team that wasn’t great in its own end. But the truth is, the Rangers had the puck… Read More →

Will update with more later. The NHL suspended Andre Deveaux for three games for his elbow to the head of Florida’s Tomas Fleischmann Wednesday in Sunrise. That sounds about right.
