For those joining late … Jeff Halpern was claimed off waivers by Montreal, and the Rangers also put Stu Bickel on waivers. Also, J.T. Miller left practice with a left wrist injury he suffered Thursday against Florida, and Arron Asham (back) declared himslf good to go for Sunday’s game against… Read More →
See, the NHL’s governors and GMs (and I dare say players union) care a lot less about safety than about keeping players in their lineups. Because if they really wanted to get rid of head shots, it would be this simple. Tell Brendan Shanahan that all shoulders, elbows, forearms to… Read More →
Thoughts: 1) I’m not talking anybody off ledges today. I’m just not. Because, though I still think the Rangers will make the playoffs, there’s not a lot to like about this team big picture. 2) Last year’s team wouldn’t have many starts like that, and if it did, Brandon Prust… Read More →
… and one that didn’t make the recorder, from Brad Richards: “I don’t have much to say … confused and lost.” John Tortorella: Henrik Lundqvist: Marian Gaborik: Ryan Callahan: Dan Girardi: Ryan McDonagh:

Game 30. Panthers at Rangers. Holy cow, is it really Game 30 in a 48-game season? Ya boys on a two-game winning streak. They play the next two at home (Washington Sunday) then hit the road for three in a row and 11 of the final 17. Chris Kreider makes… Read More →
John Tortorella had some pretty elaborate things to say about Chris Kreider … though I have no doubt that a few of you will purposely misinterpret and twist them. He even cracked a joke on another topic. John Tortorella:

from the NYR: RANGERS RECALL FORWARD CHRIS KREIDER Assign forward Micheal Haley to Connecticut (AHL) NEW YORK, March 20, 2013 –New York Rangers President and General Manager Glen Sather announced today that the club has recalled forward Chris Kreider from the Connecticut Whale of the American Hockey League (AHL), while… Read More →
Thoughts: 1) This wasn’t perfect (few are) but it was miles better than what we’ve seen in the previous nine days, and better than most games this season, actually. The Rangers created some offense, had the puck more, protected a lead (they haven’t had a lot of practice at that)... Read More →

Game 29. Rangers at Devils. Ya boys have won one in a row, albeit in one of those silly non-hockey related contests they sometimes hold after the conclusion of a hockey game, in which the loser got a point and made a far bigger move up the standings than the… Read More →

Thoughts: 1) I know I’ve said this before, and honestly, I’m not complaining about the shootout (this time). But it’s kind of silly, isn’t it, that the exact same hockey game for 65 minutes gets played, and if Alex Semin’s shot doesn’t hit the crossbar, or if J.T. Miller continues… Read More →

Game 28. Hurricanes at Rangers. There’s a whole world of potential hurt sitting out there for ya boys, who have lost three in a row and four of five, scoring a grand total of two goals in the last three. Because tonight’s not just the dreaded (inexplicable and almost unavoidable)... Read More →
