Chuck Gormley, Sporting News Yearbooks [IMAGE DISPLAY=1] The Rangers have an elite goalie in Henrik Lundqvist, and defenseman Dan Girardi's role will grow this year. Leading into the Oct. 1 season openers, Sporting News will preview one NHL team per day, counting backward from our preseason No. 30 ranked team to No. 1. When John Tortorella took over for Tom Renney as coach of the offensively challenged Rangers late last season, he questioned his players' fitness level and ability to play nasty hockey at breakneck speed. General manager Glen Sather must have been listening. In one dizzying midsummer week, Sather replaced underperforming center Scott Gomez with speed demon Marian Gaborik; exchanged agitating forward Colton Orr for heavyweight enforcer Donald Brashear; replaced Nik Antropov and Markus Naslund with shootout specialist Ales Kotalik and hard-hitting winger Christopher Higgins; and stocked his blue line with prospect Ryan McDonagh. Now the onus falls on...

Guess Who Just Made The Team? - Rangers@Bruins Post Game Thoughts…

Via Rangers Review  |  September 20, 2009
I’m with Joe on this one. After the last 2 games, Artem Anisimov most definitely made the team barring him punching Torts in the face for no apparent reason. In one of the more dominating games I’ve seen the Rangers play, the kids stood out by miles, while the vets continue to look less than impressive. The interesting thing here though is that tonight the Rangers played against...

Sink or swim. Like many high-priced free agents before him, Marian Gaborik was held to the highest standards before ever stepping foot on Garden ice. If he succeeded, he would garner the respect of the Garden faithful. If he failed,...

New York Rangers 2009-10 Season Preview

Via Illegal Curve  |  September 20, 2009
The New York Rangers underwent some significant turnovers near the end of last season and then again over the summer.  Prior to these changes over the past few months, the Rangers decided to fire Tom Renney near the end of last season and replaced him with his complete and total opposite—John Tortorella. As a result, the Rangers [...]

Guest blogger: The Mouth

Via Rangers Report  |  September 22, 2009
Rangers beat the Red Wings Last night, 3-2 at Madison Square Garden. The game marked Marian Gaborik’s first appearance as a Ranger. The Blueshirts looked fantastic in the first period, but listless through the final two. I think we all hope they buck this trend quickly. However, the young crop of Ranger hopefuls continued to impress. [...]

Rangers Establishing Identity Under Tortorella

Via Kuklas Korner  |  September 22, 2009
From Adam Kimelman at NHL.com: When John Tortorella was hired as New York Rangers coach in February, he had a 21-game training camp to see which players could mesh with his style of play and which couldn’t. Offseason roster changes have left a group that better reflects what Tortorella would like to see from a team—more up-tempo play and a little...

Rangers Reading to Close Out the Weekend

Good evening folks. Sorry I haven’t checked in at all today but I was covering a frisbee golf event for a local web site in Connecticut.

Rangers’ News & Notes

Via Kuklas Korner  |  September 22, 2009
Good afternoon folks. The New York Rangers played well last night and defeated the Detroit Red Wings by a score of 4-2 to go to 2-2-1 in the pre-season. The team got strong performances from Marian Gaborik (let’s hope he can stay healthy) Enver Lisin, Artem Anisimov, Matt Gilroy, Ryan Callahan, and a few others. Again, I know it’s pre-season but good performances...

New York Rangers: Who's the Odd Ranger Out?

Via Bleacher Report  |  September 20, 2009
As per my previous article, it seems as if finally, after years of begging, the prospects are being given the chance to shine in New York. Honestly... who's the over the hill hall of famer on this team being overpaid? No Guy Lafleur, no Luc Robitaille, no Jari Kurri. A majority of players on this team are extremely hard working, determined, hungry, and are fighting for their...

Dubinsky's big contract creates big expectations

Via NY Daily News  |  September 22, 2009
Brandon Dubinsky - who impressed as a rookie centering Jaromir Jagr and whose production plateaued in his sophomore season - is being counted on in season No. 3 to give some numbers back to a team lacking a proven top center.

Should Henrik Play Less?

Via Kuklas Korner  |  September 22, 2009
From Stan Fischler at MSGNetwork.com: Given his druthers and his competitive nature, Henrik Lundqvist likely would want to play all 82 games of the Rangers season. In a theoretical world, why shouldn’t he? In a real world, Glenn Hall of the Chicago Blackhawks once had a streak of 503 consecutive games—and he did it without wearing a protective mask. But that...
