Found December 11, 2011 on Rangers Review:
Let me just start off by saying this. If you already watched this game, DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT watch the above highlights. They are from the Buffalo feed and you will be forced to listen to some of the worst announcing in the history of sports done by Rick Jeanneret, who I can not stand. If you are forced to watch the highlights if you missed the game, then for the love of all that is good and pure, please mute your audio. OK, now that the public service announcement has been taken care of let’s deal with this game. Watching the game (or if you didn’t heed my warning and watched them above) you’d agree with my assessment that there was only 1 legitimate goal scored tonight by either team. Marian Gaboriks laserbeam shot top corner post, in, and out was a shot no goalie in this league will stop. Vaneks goal was borderline, but when you get that much of the puck, and you react as quickly, and correctly as Biron did, you expect that save to be made. Ryan Calla...

Comparing Avery’s And Christensen’s Ice Time

When looking at the raw ice time numbers, there are a lot of conclusions drawn about the ice time given to Sean Avery (over the last few games) and Erik Christensen (last night). There were a few angry tweets from what appears to be the majority of fans thinking that Avery got the shaft because he received so little ice time, while Christensen is clearly favored because of the ice...

Rangers D stays stingy without Staal

Defenseman Marc Staal led the Rangers in minutes played and takeaways last year. He was second on the team in shots blocked and the only Ranger to make the All Star Game. So it would make sense that with Staal yet to play a game this season, because of the aftereffects of a concussion, the Rangers' defense would slip a little, right? Wrong. So far, New York's defense has...

Del Zotto Developing

Michael Del Zotto is ninth in the entire NHL in plus/minus. While many people don’t place much stock in the statistic (after all Marek Malik did lead the league in plus/minus one season) it does provide some indication how the young blue liner has begun to turn his game back around this season. Del Zotto could have been forgiven for stalling in recent times when Mike Sauer was...

Rangers Score Two Shorthanded Goals In Win Over Buffalo

The Rangers tallied two shorthanded goals in the second period of last night’s game at Buffalo, from Carl Hagelin at 11:34 and Ryan Callahan at 18:51. It was Hagelin’s first career shorthanded goal/point, and Callahan’s first shorthanded goal/point of the season (third shorthanded goal of his career). The last time the Rangers tallied two shorthanded [...]

Rangers on point vs. Panthers

After Derek Stepan and the New York Rangers put on one of their most impressive offensive displays of the season, all they could do was tout their defense, grit and hustle. Stepan scored twice, including a pretty coast-to-coast goal just after the Rangers killed a penalty, and New York beat the Florida Panthers 6-1 on Sunday night for as comprehensive-looking a win as New York has...

Postgame: Rangers Back on Track with 4-1 Win over Sabres

Great teams have the ability to generate great bounce-back performances, and that’s exactly what the New York Rangers did tonight in their 4-1 win over the Buffalo Sabres at HSBC Arena. Having lost their last two coming into tonight, the Blueshirts needed a strong team effort to get back on track, and they got that this evening against a strong opponent. With the Rangers and...

Postgame: Rangers Smack Panthers, Climb to 4th in East

Since winning games in bunches like they have for the past month and a half became common, one thing the New York Rangers have done very well is bouncing back after losses. Earlier in the week, the Blueshirts lost two close games to the Toronto Maple Leafs and Tampa Bay Lightning, but rebounded this weekend with back-to-back complete defeats of the Buffalo Sabres and Florida Panthers...

PHILADELPHIA After creating controversy with a goal celebration against the Lightning on Thursday, New York Rangers forward Artem Anisimov issued an apology to Tampa Bay on Friday.

Torts Hasn't Given HBO Restrictions for 24/7

Justin Terranova at the New York Post reports that John Tortorella had to make assurances to HBO and the NHL that he would not interfere with the work of the 24/7 crews..."The coach has made it clear that, yes, he is concerned about things that provide glimpses at their strategy and possibly with their injuries, but he has not given us restrictions on what we can do," HBO...

Rangers-Panthers in review

Not going to get all wrapped up in who did what on a lopsided scoresheet, though I’m sure you all enjoyed the heck out of it, and you should have. Instead, how about numbers?: 17-6-4, second best record in the improving East and fewest regulation losses in the NHL; 8-2-2 at home. Points in 16 of 19. 24-8-3 in second of back-to-backs since 2009-10. 38 points in 27 games, the...

The Rangers Are Ready for Their Closeup

The Rangers must feel nervous that they aren't going to wind up making good television when they make their HBO debut this week. As we all know, good drama requires conflict or obstacles to overcome with great difficulty and the Rangers haven't had much of either recently. They crushed the Panthers 6-1 at the Garden on Sunday night, completing a weekend sweep in grand fashion...
