Nothing beats Original Six matchups on Hockey Night in Canada as the New York Rangers (6-3-3) continued their winning ways with a 5-3 win over the Montreal Canadiens (5-6-2). The Canadiens came into the game winners of 4 straight but were missing Scott Gomez (that’s a bad thing, right?) Thoughts:... Read More →

Game 12. Fifth of a six-game homestand. Back to playing teams from Canada (boy, there’s been a lot of two-anthem games so far). First of 16 straight vs. Eastern teams. The Rangers begin back-to-backs at home, having won their last two games over Western powers (San Jose and Anaheim). De-Whaled,... Read More →

Thoughts: 1) Just because it tends to get so hysterical (and I don’t mean funny, though it can be that, too) here, I wondered in the comments last night, at 1-1, were you willing to say this was a good effort or if it sucked from head to toe, had the… Read More →

Some post-game stuff. Henrik Lundqvist sounded relieved to finally win a shootout. Marian Gaborik was glad to get the call in the breakaway contest. John Tortorella knew Gaborik’s awful career stats in the skills competition. Tortorella also talked about the top four Rangers defensemen, and spoke honestly about Jeff Woywitka… Read More →
Game 11. Fourth of a six-game homestand. Rematch of the classic Game 2 breakaway contest in Stockholm (ok, maybe not a classic). Henrik Lundqvist back in goal against the Mighties. Otherwise, same lineup as Monday’s Halloween win over Soft Joe and the Sharks. Which means Sean Avery is prucha’d. Mike… Read More →
This was one of the most boring pre-gamers ever, because nobody has any questions to ask. Nothing changed between today and yesterday, when we talked to the coach, and nothing changed between yesterday and the day before, other than Sean Avery’s arrival and the idea that he won’t play tonight… Read More →

Here are a couple of interviews, then I have to run: Sean Avery: John Tortorella: ———————— Gotta run to football. See youse later.
Let me try to explain. The football playoff game I was supposed to cover yesterday was postponed to today because that October snow storm left so many areas without power, so much snow on the fields, and forced so many schools to remain closed. So, I have to go to… Read More →
Sean Avery, soon to be officially recalled after clearing re-entry waivers (in other words, none of the other 29 teams/coaches had any interest in him at 1/4 of his salary). Now, does he play Thursday, or do the Rangers go with their same lineup after their best game of the… Read More →
I don’t know which game was the Rangers’ second best of the season, but it wasn’t even close to this one. And not just because of the score … if they played the exact same game and, say, lost in a shootout, this still was their best of the year… Read More →
