The New York Rangers were without three major names in their lineup during yesterday's 5-2 loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins. Ryan Callahan (foot), Michael Del Zotto (hip) and Henrik Lundqvist (flu) were all sidelined for separate reasons, but all three were on the ice earlier today for practice before tomorrow's match-up with the Colorado Avalanche. Callahan nor Del Zotto confirmed that they would be in game-shape for Saturday, but they seemed optimistic, as did their coach.... Torts on Callahan and Del Zotto: "They made it through today, that's a good thing...don't know about tomorrow" — New York Rangers (@thenyrangers) March 16, 2012 At this point Callahan is only being held out as a precaution, so I think he's going to make his return tomorrow against the Avs. It was originally expected that he would come back yesterday against Pittsburgh, but obviously that did not happen as the Rangers wanted to give him an additional day of rest.  Whi...

Dubinsky’s biggest problem

Via Blue Seat Blogs  |  March 16, 2012
No, it isn’t Carl Hagelin although that’s a pretty big issue for Dubinsky right now. Dubinsky is clearly the forgotten man in the Rangers offense right now. No, Brandon Dubinsky’s biggest problem this season is consistency. Anyone that watched the Islanders game will have seen Dubinsky strong on the puck, his line generate plenty of chances and all round, the line  – led...

Postgame: Rangers Meet Their Match in Disappointing Loss to Penguins

Via The Rangers Tribune  |  March 15, 2012
New York Rangers GM Glen Sather stated earlier in the week that the Pittsburgh Penguins were the best team in the National Hockey League. The general manager's theory was proven true this evening at Madison Square Garden, but unfortunately it came at the expense of his own club. You can take various routes when analyzing this game from the standpoint of the Rangers, but the...

Postgame: Varlamov Steals the Show as Rangers Drop Second Straight to Avs

Via The Rangers Tribune  |  March 17, 2012
It’s not often that you see an opposition goaltender steal the spotlight at Madison Square Garden, but that was the case tonight. All things considered, the Rangers responded well to Thursday’s 5-2 loss to the Penguins. That response, however, was nothing Semyon Varlamov couldn’t handle. Varlamov led his team to a 3-1 victory tonight, because if it weren’t for him, this...

Rangers recall Chad Johnson

Via Blue Seat Blogs  |  March 15, 2012
Again, the Rangers have recalled goaltender Chad Johnson. Johnson was recalled for Tuesday’s win against the Hurricanes, and served as the backup to Martin Biron, while Henrik Lundqvist was out with the flu. One would have to assume tonight would be the same situation, with Hank out with the flu and Biron starting tonight.

Rangers Receiving Reality Check at the Right Time

Via The Rangers Tribune  |  March 17, 2012
There were definitely some mixed emotions among the fans after Thursday night’s 5-2 loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins at Madison Square Garden. Some were satisfied with the effort and just plainly admitted that the Rangers had lost to a better team. Others were rather disappointed at the end of the night, saying that the effort from the club could have and should have been much...

Pens, Rangers' stars don't shine alone

Via Fox Sports  |  March 17, 2012
The NHL, like all other North American professional sports leagues, is driven by its stars. Sure, it is more of a team game than Major League Baseball, which revolves around one-on-one matchups between pitchers and hitters, or the NBA, where one or two superstars can turn any team (except maybe the Knicks) into an instant contender. In the NHL, throwing together a talented fantasy...

Pregame: Rangers Counting On Major Response Tonight Against Avalanche

Via The Rangers Tribune  |  March 17, 2012
The New York Rangers were understandably displeased with the outcome of Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins at MSG, which cut their first place lead down to just four points in the Eastern Conference. But as was noted earlier today on the blog, that game served as a useful reality check for this hockey team, as they finally met their match in a team that is undoubtedly...

The return of Sidney Crosby promptly ended the Rangers mini-winning streak as the Pens dropped the Rangers tonight 5-2 at Madison Square Garden.  The Blue shirt’s Jekyll and Hyde play in this game ultimately was their undoing.  There was a lot of positives to take away from this game as well as quite a few negatives.  To the bullets… 1st Period The Rangers started off the...
