Lundqvist Should Get The Nod Tonight

Via Bleeding All Blue  |  October 20, 2011
Regardless of how well Henrik Lundqvist plays this season, Martin Biron is going to get 15-20 starts to keep Lundqvist fresh for late in the year and the playoffs.  The question becomes with Henrik Lundqvist as locked in as he is right now, when does Biron get his first start this season for the New York Rangers.  In the New York Post, Larry Brooks thinks that tonight will be that...

No One Cares That Rangers Lose Because Lundqvist Is Ok

Via Blue Seat Blogs  |  October 23, 2011
The New York Rangers lost to the Edmonton Oilers last night in what was a very entertaining game to watch, despite the loss and shutout. But, when Henrik Lundqvist removed himself from the game midway through the third period, every single Ranger fan said “oh crap”. But, according to the MSG broadcast, the All-World goaltender was just cramping up. The Oilers are a very fast...

Rangers Hockey: Return of the King

Via Double G Sports  |  October 20, 2011
Rangers goalie Henrik Lundqvist was simply sensational Tuesday night against an extremely talented Vancouver team.  The King stopped all forty Canuck shots, many of them quality scoring chances from high percentage areas.  On more than one occasion, Lundqvist made the initial save, and then stopped one or two rebound chances before covering the puck or having it cleared away...

Lundqvist Starting, Bell In; Woywitka, Wolski, Sauer Out

Via Bleeding All Blue  |  October 22, 2011
Looking for their third straight win the New York Rangers are tinkering with their lineup inserting Brendan Bell on defense and scratching Jeff Woywitka.  Replacing Woywitka is not a big surprise as he struggled against Calgary, especially in the third period giving up multiple chances and taking a penalty with just 2:44 left in regulation. One change the Rangers are not making...

Rangers-Flames Preview

Via AP on Fox  |  October 20, 2011

Jan Levine: Game 4: NYR 4 Van 0, Hank Stands on Head, Offense Shows Up in Third

Via HockeyBuzz  |  October 19, 2011
If someone went to bed before the game and just got the score on the radio with few details, they would think the Rangers dominated action in shutting out Vancouver. How wrong they would be. For two periods - and some might argue the third as well - if not for the sterling play of Henrik Lundqvist, this morning we would be looking at the standings and see 0-2-2 after the Rangers...

Postgame: Rangers Hit New Low in Loss to Oilers, Coach Adds to Embarrassment

Via The Rangers Tribune  |  October 23, 2011
Earlier in the day I was filling out an interview and one of the questions asked which of the Rangers' games so far this season was the worst in my opinion. Had I filled that interview out tomorrow, instead of today, tonight's 2-0 loss to the Edmonton Oilers would have been my answer.  There are no excuses for what we saw out of this team tonight. Everyone knew the Oilers...

Time for Biron to Play

Via Kukla's Korner  |  October 20, 2011
Even though New York Rangers’ netminder Henrik Lundqvist has been terrific to start the season, team head coach John Tortorella should consider giving backup goaltender Martin Biron a chance to play one of the three games coming up against the Calgary Flames, Edmonton Oilers, and the Winnipeg Jets. On Twitter, there were rumors circulating that Biron might be starting tonight...

The New York Rangers victory hat is just about perfect

Via Puck Daddy  |  October 19, 2011
After his shutout victory over the Vancouver Canucks on Tuesday night, New York Rangers goalie Henrik Lundqvist spoke to the media while wearing a stylish fedora. While our first inclination was that it might be something from the personal collection of "The World's Sexiest Ice Man" (thank you, New York Post), it's actually the Rangers' "winning hat"...

Via NorthWest Sports Beat  |  October 19, 2011
