Sean Avery was scoreless with a -2, as the CT Whale lost their seventh straight by the score of 4-2 to the Portland Pirates.Erik Christensen scored his first goal since arriving in Hartford on a conditioning assignment....while you can't point to Avery as the sole reason the Whale has gone winless since his arrival, it's obviously a toxic situation down there and I hope for the benefit of Avery and the organization that Sather can find a way to move him to another organization because even if Avery goes on a 20 game scoring streak Torts would never approve a recall of "The Grate One."...if nothing else, I'd like to see Avery work as hard as he can with the Whale to hopefully earn himself a new contract or at least a NHL try out this offseason.Speaking of former Rangers playing with the CT Whale, here's a piece from Native Hockey News on Wade Redden.Remember to follow me on Twitter & Facebook or e-mail me at nyrfan94...

Wolski to be Moved?
Elliotte Friedman at CBC Sports speculates that Wojtek Wolski's time with the Rangers might be over..."Can't help but look at Wojtek Wolski's $3.8 million cap hit and wonder if the Rangers will do some maneuvering there too, should it be necessary.

Postgame: Rangers Deliver with 3-0 Win Over Predators
Like we've seen so many times this season, the Rangers delivered exactly what the doctor ordered following a rough loss on Sunday when they defeated the Nashville Predators, 3-0, this evening at Madison Square Garden. From top-to-bottom, the Blueshirts' entire lineup contributed to tonight's win with great forechecking, solid defensive play, and in Lundqvist's case...
To Tell Tort’s Truth
Never let it be said that John Tortorella sugar-coats anything. The New York Rangers’ coach has his way of doings things and the rest of us can damn well love it or lump it.
Gotta love someone with the courage of his convictions in a world loaded with political correctness. And Tortorella put his convictions right out there for all to see Tuesday night after the Rangers blanked...
Holding Onto the Top Spot
That is what the New York Rangers continue to do as the team picked-up a 3-0 win over the Nashville Predators last night at Madison Square Garden.
Due to playing in a hockey game of my own, I was not able to catch any of the game. With that said, it was nice to see Henrik Lundqvist get another shutout and the team come out with a much better defensive performance than they did against...

John Tortorella not amused by Rangers owner James Dolan’s Stanley Cup talk
With their 3-0 victory over the Nashville Predators, the New York Rangers moved to 62 points in 44 games, tops in the NHL.
If that's not surreal enough, how about this: James Dolan addressed the media after the game.
Some organizations like Washington, have ubiquitous owners. Some have frequently seen owners like Philadelphia and Chicago. James Dolan, on the other hand, hasn...
Coach, owner smooth out disagreement over Rangers Cup talk
Rangers coach John Tortorella may think it is far too early for owner James Dolan to discuss a championship, as the latter did following the Rangers 3-0 win on Tuesday that put them at an NHL-best 29-11-4, but The Post has learned that Dolan called Tortorella Wednesday morning and they...

Rangers-Penguins in review
Thoughts:
1) I said it before and I’ll say it again (though I’m sure it won’t placate any of the NNs, or Chicken Littles, the “fire Torts” gang or plain old trolls. If losing three out of five is as bad as it gets, or even four out of six, this is going to be one fabulous, unbelievable, wildly-successful season.
2) Everybody’s going after Evgeny...
