This just in from the Rangers: Chris Drury had arthroscopic knee surgery today and will miss six weeks. Here’s the release from the Rangers: New York, February 11, 2011 – New York Rangers President and General Manager Glen Sather announced today that Chris Drury underwent arthroscopic knee surgery on his… Read More →
You won’t have Doc Emrick to kick around for this one. Feel free to rip on Joe Micheletti, though. Anyone else still miss JD? Tonight’s pregame notes, courtesy of the Rangers: NEW YORK RANGERS at ATLANTA THRASHERS Friday, Feb. 11, 7:30 p.m. Philips Arena • Atlanta, GA Rangers: 29-23-4 (62… Read More →
I got to thinking a little bit about Chris Drury during my 50-minute commute home last night. Specifically, about a Sunday in the summer of 2007. I was on my way to work that evening when I heard the news that the Rangers had signed Drury AND Scott Gomez to… Read More →
Well, at least not for the next six weeks. Chris Drury will have surgery on his troublesome knee. Here’s the blurb from The Associated Press: NEW YORK — Rangers captain Chris Drury will have surgery on his left knee and be sidelined for six weeks. Rangers coach John Tortorella made… Read More →
Excellent post by cw. I agree with almost all of it, although I would contend that the Versus telecast was bearable because of the presence of Doc Emrick on play-by-play. Not quite Sam Rosen, but very good at what he does. So, who the hell am I to take over… Read More →

John Tortorella: On the technique for blocking shots, if there’s a way to do it and protect your arms or hands: “That’s what gloves are supposed to do. (Mike Keenan piped up from the back to suggest they wear kevlar). I look at Chris Drury, his first shot, he’s as… Read More →

New York… Read More →
Same lineup as the 2-0 win over the Fish … er, Islanders. Lundqvist starts in goal; White and Gilroy are the pruchas. Probable lines: Avery-Christensen-Gaborik Dubinsky-Stepan-Callahan Fedotenko-Boyle-Prust Frolov-Anisimov -Boogaard
A bit premature for a game thread … but several reports from Nashville have Gaborik missing tonight’s game with the flu. He’s not even at the arena tonight. So the Rangers will use seven defensemen and 11 forwards, since Boogaard’s shoulder is still bothering him, and Michal Rozsival is ready… Read More →
Same lineup as Saturday in Minny, which means Boogaard stays in, White is prucha’d, and Biron starts in goal. The probable lines: Frolov-Stepan-Gaborik Dubinsky-Anisimov-Callahan Fedotenko-Boyle-Prust Boogaard-Christensen-Avery
Just a reminder, it’s a 9 p.m. start to start a two-game/two-night trip. And a reminder that New Rochelle’s Kevin Shattenkirk is up with the Avs, as a rookie who scored his first NHL goal Wednesday. Me? I’m Mr. Football today and tomorrow, five state semifinal games in all, with… Read More →
Just found out, Henrik Lundqvist showed up at the rink sick. So Martin Biron will play tonight.
From the Rangers: NEW YORK RANGERS CELEBRATE TEAM’S 85th ANNIVERSARY AT ROCKEFELLER CENTER Top Current Players and Ranger Legends Unveil Team’s New Heritage Jersey – Friday November 12th New York, November 10, 2010 – The 2010-11 hockey season marks the New York Rangers 85th anniversary of the franchise. In honor… Read More →
My fingers are so frozen I can barely type this. Martin Biron starts in goal against the Blues tonight, his first since that subpar outing against Atlanta. Ryan Callahan returns after sitting out the game against the Devils with a sore neck. Derek Boogaard and Evgeny Grachev remain in the… Read More →
Coming off that loss at Philly, the Rangers go right back into the archrival fire at the Rock. As you know by now, Ryan Callahan—the de facto acting captain—will not play after that hit by Timmonen last night. It appeared he hurt his neck or shoulder. Also, Martin Brodeur is… Read More →
Rangers-Flys for the first time this season, at the Arena That Changes Names Every Five Minutes (why can’t debris fall on their heads?). Not much more needs to be said. Henrik Lundqvist starts in goal (against Sergei Bobrovsky, 6-2-0, 2.39). Derek Boogaard back in (duh). Todd White and Matt Gilroy… Read More →
The Rangers and Maple Leaves (correct spelling) see each other for the third time already this season, each winning on the road. As for lineup changes, I have no idea. I’m at a football game, not in Toronto. So I don’t know of Boogaard (hand infection) can play … this… Read More →
Don’t have time to give you much more than this … then again you guys don’t usually need more than this. Same lineup as in Toronto, except Lundqvist in goal, with Biron backing up (wonder if Biron might get the nod vs. Devils tomorrow?) That means Sauer is in again,... Read More →
Does it strike you odd that the Rangers are in Boston for a Saturday night game? Isn’t it almost always a matinee? I’m glad. I have another football playoff game today—assuming I thaw out. Played golf yesterday and actually got hit my snow/sleet for a while, had winds whipping around… Read More →
