From the NYR:
JEFF BEUKEBOOM NAMED ASSISTANT COACH OF THE AHL’S CONNECTICUT WHALE
NEW YORK, July 6, 2012 – New York Rangers President and General Manager Glen Sather announced today that the club has named Jeff Beukeboom assistant coach of the team’s American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, Connecticut Whale. He joins head coach, Ken Gernander, and assistant coach, Pat Boller.
Beukeboom, 47, is a four-time Stanley Cup Champion, including as a member of the Rangers’ 1994 Championship team. He begins his first season as an assistant coach with Connecticut after spending the last three seasons as an assistant coach with the Sudbury Wolves of the Ontario Hockey League (OHL). Last season, he helped guide Sudbury to a 36-26-4-2 record for 78 points, a 16-point improvement over their 2010-11 record.
Prior to joining Sudbury, Beukeboom served as an assistant coach with the Barrie Colts (OHL) for the 2008-09 season. He began his coaching career in 2003-04 as an assistant coach for the Toronto Roadrunners (AHL). In 2005, Beukeboom became President and part-owner of the Lindsay Muskies of the Ontario Provincial Junior “A” Hockey League (OJHL).
Prior to joining the coaching ranks, Beukeboom skated in 804 career regular season games in 13 NHL seasons with the Rangers and Edmonton Oilers, registering 30 goals and 129 assists for 159 points, along with 1,890 penalty minutes and a plus-114 rating. He began his career with Edmonton in 1986-87, where he captured the Stanley Cup in three of his first four seasons. In 1987-88, he established career-highs in assists (20), points (25), plus/minus rating (plus-27), and penalty minutes (201). Beukeboom also tallied three goals and 16 assists, along with 197 penalty minutes in 99 career playoff contests with the Rangers and Oilers.
The defenseman recorded 18 goals and 72 assists for 90 points, along with 1,157 penalty minutes and a plus-63 rating in 520 regular season games over eight seasons with the Rangers. He was traded to the Blueshirts in exchange for David Shaw on November 12, 1991, as part of the October 4, 1991, deal that sent Mark Messier to Broadway. Beukeboom notched a career-high, eight goals, during the 1993-94 season. He went on to set playoff career-highs in games played (22), assists/points (six), and plus/minus rating (plus-17) that postseason, while helping the Rangers capture the Stanley Cup Championship.
The Ajax, Ontario native was originally selected by Edmonton as a first round choice, 19th overall, in the 1983 NHL Entry Draft.

Triple idiot!
Done!
Beuke is !!!!!!!

Can he in any status still make opposition feel miserable?
I wanted Pruchaboom.
when hiring Jeff Beukeboom as an assistant coach of the Whale becomes the biggest news of the summer YOU KNOW it will be a long one!
Very deep, cccp, but true
deep and true is my middle name! :P
How do deep and true start with C’s?
Beukeboom is there to coach McIlrath.
Now we just have to get McIlrath back from knee surgery for the plan to work!
Carp
to see the “true(th)” you must look “deep”!
Beuk has a pretty stellar JaBR*.
Easy Kreider is going to score between 18 and 23 goals next year.
Boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooook!
It would be great to see Kid Kreider bust out with a 30-40 goal first year, but the high teens low twenties sounds far more realistic.
What’s with McIlrath?
If the kid Kreider can play all year and get’s power play time, I think 30 goals is on the low end of the production you can expect from him…
Certainly don’t wait to jinx anything, but, this is going to be the first time a lot of goalies see him and he has a very good chance to pot at least 30….
Kreider has an elite shot and speed…and he’ll be getting the puck on his stick a lot while Gaby is out…
Wow, surgery for patellar dislocation. 6 weeks to 3 months, depending on what type of surgery he underwent- bone or soft tissue repair.
Beuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuukkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk!!!!!
Now there is some to be punning about. A true warrior and vital part of the greatest New York Rangers team in history!
Congrats Jeff! You deserve it.
Punning= pinning
July 6…..who wouldv’e thunk a month ago there would be no Nash or Ryan trade yet. The traded Wayne Gretzky for chris sakes!
according to csn washington
carolina has expressed interest on semin for a short term basis
was waiting for your diagnosis ilb
mentioned that in previous thread.
also was hoping that the timetable wasn’t as
bad as that.
was hoping that MacIlrath would have been ready near camp.
well
if lockout happens then it won’t matter as much.
here’s to hoping Beuk will show him what’s what
because we could use that type of player
JUST DON’T TEACH HIM THE CLEARING THE ZONE BY SENDING THE PUCK ROUND THE BOARDS!
Dog days of summer have arrived.
Nash is feeling a lot like the jagr situation. Craig Patrick just hates the rangers.
Was it really like 1.5 hours of non-posting? What’s up?
was it something i said.
yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesh!
Nah, jpg. We just need to take it up a notch.
Is it time to put in an offer sheet yet for Evander Kane?
mr d
congrats btw
leetch
its time to do SOMETHING
LOL:

so there is this puck & gavel thing on twitter that seemed pretty cool so I followed it, but it must be pretty bush league low class type of site because I didn’t even get a follow back…JOKE!!
Thanks. That was actually a side-depressing part of Game 6 to NJ; she was born a week before the beginning of the season and I spent a lot of nights holding her on the couch with hockey on, so I was completely convinced it was fate. But then it wasn’t, so now the worry is she’s as big of a curse as her mom was. Started going out in 2001, Yankees had that awesome-yet-horrific World Series against the Diamondbacks and went from winning every year to an 8 year “drought”. And the Rangers obviously did nothing to cover for them. Sooo … cross your fingers and I’m sorry in advance?
anyone know where you can get those “right way” t-shirts?
LOL
anyone know who that blonde lady is on the NHL network?
kathryn tappen?
Wicky – definitely agree. This has been one boring, non-eventful free agent/trade period for NYR.
Just read an interesting little blurb on the “god particle” and it was originally named the “god damn particle” by higgs, but an author didn’t want to title the book that so he shortened it to “god particle”
LMFAO!

leetch
yep, kinda blows
Eh, this is what happens. Everything is slow, everyone is bored, then BLAM! Semin on your roster before you even know what happened.
Kathryn Tappen?
Buekeboom’s teamates had a nickname for him…...anyone remember?
Is Semin a Ranger yet?
Farmer.
Kathryn Tappen, of course she is a blonde and on NHL Network. Probably the only reason to watch that clown channel. Although less clown than Versus, FoxSports, and Bickelodian.
I like the idea of Beuk rubbing off on Mack ill Wrath..
It’s July 7th…do you know where your free agents are?
Kreider will score, but he’s strong and quick in the corners and once he gains more confidence with the right line-mates, he’ll create a ton of assists up front.
