RANGERS RUMORS & GOSSIP
Rangers shot-blocking mentality, the next media gripe
____ is killing hockey. That seems to be the only headline that moves the dial in Canada these days.
Every couple of weeks it’s something else that is supposedly destroying the game. First it was keeping a hockey team in Nashville, a market that was never supposed to succeed. Whoops.
Then it was the Lightning’s 1-3-1 trap, which was supposed to lift them from mediocrity...

It's Time for Rangers to Win a Game Two
The New York Rangers have accomplished many feats throughout the 2012 postseason, but they have yet to win a Game 2 in either of their previous two series against the Ottawa Senators and Washington Capitals. Both of which, by the way, came after taking Game 1 at Madison Square Garden, only to let the momentum slip two nights later when they hit the ice again.
Since the Rangers...

Rangers must learn from other Game 2s
John Tortorella did not ascribe any particular significance to Wednesday night's Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Final.
His captain did.
Ryan Callahan, the heart and soul and conscience of the New York Rangers, sat at his stall after a midafternoon practice at Madison Square Garden and testified to the importance of taking a 2-0 series lead.
"You definitely want it....

Rangers A Young Team Growing Fast
Prior to the start of the Stanley Cup Playoffs, I posted an article on this blog making the case as to why the 2011-12 season was a success for the New York Rangers regardless of what occurred in the postseason. In terms of franchise development, the Blueshirts jumped ahead of schedule during the regular season, accomplishing all of their goals and then some, meaning any additional...

Does this team miss Dubinsky?
Everyday on Twitter, I see the beat writers giving answers to the same question: Did Brandon Dubinsky skate? The answer has been ‘no’, and the answer will likely be ‘no’ for the forseeable future. Dubinsky is still using his walking boot and has not skated since the Ottawa series. Prior to that, Dubinsky was alternating between second line duties and third...

RIGHT TO REMAIN SILENT
Rangers coach irritated by ringing cell phone
Following The New York Rangers 3-0 victory over the New Jersey Devils John Tortorella was giving a presser and a phone went off, which didn’t make J.T. too pleased. Jay Greenberg of The New York Post was the unlucky lad who had forgotten to put his phone on silent, and when it interrupted Torts, the gloves came off. Torts responded in typical and glorious fashion with profanity...

Brad Richards’ bowels were the difference for the Rangers in Game 1
That’s some stat line you got going on there Mr. Richards.
The Rangers opened the Eastern Conference finals with a 3-0 win over the New Jersey Devils, and while Henrik Lundqvist was the obvious hero for the Rangers by pitching a 21-save shutout, it was the grittiness and determination of center Brad Richards that really gave New York the boost it needed. Two sh*ts in one game...

Score another W for Lundqvist
Game 1 of the Rangers-Devils series was much the same as the six games the teams played during the regular season.
Space was nowhere to be found on the Madison Square Garden ice Monday night. Skaters clogged the middle of the ice, forcing shooters to take aim at Henrik Lundqvist and Martin Brodeur from the periphery.
After the Rangers' 3-0 win in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference...

Why Boyle's Goal Was Waived Off
From NHL.com...At 11:32 of the third period in the Rangers/Capitals game, the puck entered the Capitals net. The referee ruled that Braden Holtby made the original save and then the puck entered the net when Brian Boyle's right skate made contact with Holtby resulting in goaltender interference, therefore there was no goal. This was not a reviewable play. Referee's call on...
