As Marian Gaborik goes, so go the Rangers. The Rangers star winger was held without a point and the Blueshirts lost another game. New York is 9-2-1 when Gaborik gets his name on the scoresheet but have lost all four games where he was pointless or [...]

Prospect Park Player of the Week Ryan BourqueAt first glance when we heard that the New York Rangers used their 2009 3rd round pick on Ryan Bourque we really liked the idea. Bourque was one of the top young playmakers in the United States Development Program and there was really only one reason why Bourque fell to the 3rd round; his size.If Bourque was 6'1 210 then no way do...
Bravo for the Irony
It is ironic that on the night before the Rangers faceoff against the Edmonton Oilers with their new "associate" coach Tom Renney that 2 undrafted Ranger prospects went against each other. Like Tom Renney as the Ranger's coach or not; his contribution to the Rangers will pay dividends longer than people will ever realize.It was during the NHL lockout that Tom Renney...

Video: Rangers outnumber Canucks 10-7 in scrum; Avery fun
Terrifically odd scene last night in the third period of the Vancouver Canucks' 4-1 victory over the New York Rangers: Marian Gaborik(notes) gives Ryan Kesler(notes) the weakest slash to the leg in recent memory, sparking a fight-less melee during a line change that actually had 10 players on the ice for New York. Once that situation was defused -- and it did look like it was...
Been Busy…
I apologize for not writing more about our beloved Rangers, but between working very long days, going to a wedding yesterday, being hungover today, and running back and forth between the bank and the GMC dealership, I haven’t had any free time to watch hockey, much less write about it.
Okay, that’s being dramatic. I did miss all of the game against Minnesota, but I caught...
Vancouver winter wonderland
While the Rangers were in Vancouver, there was lots of talk about the Olympics—including that bit about fans should get H1NI flu shots before they go, and that the Canucks will be away from their home rink for 40 days—and this scenario kind of reared its head in my imaginative mind:
Chris Drury makes the U.S. [...]

Rangers' Del Zotto lauded for hot start
VANCOUVER -- Michael Del Zotto is 19 years old and according to Rangers head coach John Tortorella, even acts his age at times.
Just not on the ice.
"No, I'm not going into details, but it's in a good way," Tortorella said, laughing, when informe...
Jan Levine: Gane 15 - The Gabby and Hank show + solid D beat Boston, Heading West
So pretty much, it's no Gaborik we lose, with Gaborik we win. The Rangers played a tight to the vest game against Boston, largely due to the style utilized by the Bruins, and came away with a hard fought 1-0 win Sunday.
The team also saw the return from injury of Chris Higgins and Sean Avery, to give them their most complete lineup of late, all of which was needed to edge...
Rangers' Prospal earns 'A' grade from Torts
VANCOUVER -- After going through the first month and 15 games of the season with Ryan Callahan as the team's only alternate captain, the Rangers awarded an "A" to Vinny Prospal before last night's match here against the Canucks.

New York Rangers (9-6-1) at Edmonton Oilers (7-7-1), 9:30 p.m.
Though the New York Rangers showed some fight last time out, it wasn't enough to snap their road losing streak. The team continues its western Canada swing tonight in Edmonton with a test against the Oilers at Rexall Place.
Get Ready, Here Comes The Lecavalier Trade Talk
from Pierre LeBrun of ESPN,
Some people believe Lecavalier is untradeable because of the contract. I disagree. He remains one of the better centers in the world when he’s on his game and in the right environment.
Maybe we’re getting a little ahead of ourselves because perhaps none of this trade talk will ever come to pass. But if it does, it’s fun to wonder which teams...
A Positive Note
With the New York Rangers getting ready to travel to Western Canada this week, it’ll be nice for them to do so on a positive note as the team came up with a 1-0 shutout victory over the Boston Bruins yesterday afternoon at Madison Square Garden.
Goaltender Henrik Lundqvist ruled the afternoon as he made 29 stops, many of them critical in the third period as many of them were...
