Connecticut Whale 3, Adirondack Phantoms 0
By Wil Goldsholl
Hartford, CT, January 4, 2013 - After losing four of their last five games, the Connecticut Whale beat the Adirondack Phantoms 3-0 in Hartford on Friday, in the first of six meetings scheduled between the teams. A home-and-home series will conclude between the teams in Glen Falls Saturday night. Throughout Friday’s game Connecticut protected keystone goalkeeper Cam Talbot from second and third opportunities on the way to his first shutout of the 2012-2013 season. Talbot, as well protected as he was, still finished with 25 saves.
The top line of Chris Kreider, Brandon Segal and Kris Newbury were cycling well early and it paid off. Adirondack goaltender Cal Heeter was stickless in net as Kreider picked up the puck in the corner. The Boston College product fed it on the backhand to Newbury in the circle, and Segal was able to collect and tuck the rebound home. Segal’s eighth of the year came at 4:12 in the first.

Predicting the two amnesty buyouts for the Rangers

News broke yesterday that the NHL and the NHLPA had agreed to two amnesty buyouts before the 2013-2014 season. One buyout will be allowed before the start of this season –if it happens– with the second occurring before the start of the 2013-2014 campaign. The owners appear to be dead-set against a cap higher than $60 million for 2013-2014, so...
A first look at the 2013-2014 $60 million Rangers
A $60 million cap will be tough to get to with Ryan McDonagh as an RFA.
As mentioned yesterday, the NHL is very adamant about sticking to a $60 million cap for the 2013-2014 season. This has a lot of the larger market teams worried, as GMs built their clubs for at least a $70 million cap, not a $60 million cap. The Rangers have a total of 16 players (10 forwards, 4 defensemen, 2...
The Plan for Kreider, Miller & Sauer
Back in December I posted that if Chris Kreider's play didn't improve with the CT Whale the Rangers would keep him with their AHL affiliate until he did. Well Kreider's play hasn't improved (just five goals on the season), but Larry Brooks at the New York Post reports that the Rangers 2009 first round draft pick is not in the Whale line-up today and will be in training...
Rangers to Buyout Gaborik?
Arthur Staple at Newsday tweets that if the new CBA includes two buyouts the Rangers could use them on Wade Redden and Marian Gaborik.
Gaborik has another year on his contract at $7.5 million per, while Redden also has just one year left but at $6.5 million.
...if Redden's salary is going to count against the Rangers cap under a new CBA, he's an obvious choice, but...
No Official Word on Gaborik's Status But Is Healthy
Jim Cerny at nyrangers.com reports that there is no official word on Marian Gaborik's status to start the season after shoulder surgery this past summer.
Back in December, Pat Leonard of the Daily News reported if training camp would convene in the beginning of January, Gaborik would be ready to go. Gaborik did some rehab work in Slovakia but has spent a significant amount...
