TEAMS: Winnipeg Jets, Montreal Canadiens, Ottawa Senators, New York Rangers, San Jose Sharks, Pittsburgh Penguins
After a long road trip that brought the New York Rangers to all ends of the world, they looked at the homestand that lasted the past two weeks as an opportunity to find their game and get into a groove. After winning four of the six games they played at the newly renovated Madison Square Garden, I think it's safe to say that the Blueshirts have found their game, and are playing hockey how they intended to going into the season.
Tonight's 3-0 shutout defeat of the Winnipeg Jets was huge in terms of confidence, as the team knew it would be a tough game to win since they were involved in a spirited match-up the night before when they beat the Montreal Canadiens. But they came out, played a solid game all around and grabbed yet another set of two points before they hit the road to play the Ottawa Senators on Wednesday
The Rangers were forced to kill off two penalties in the first period, and I think that was key in getting them stabilized in this game. Winnipeg had the bette...

Derek Stepan Looking at a Breakout Year
When a rookie enters the National Hockey League and scores 21 goals and 45 points in his first professional season, you would normally consider that to be his "breakout" year. Those were the credentials of 21-year-old Derek Stepan in 2010-11, and although he put up such incredible numbers as a freshman, I don't classify it as his breakout period. He may have surpassed...

Rangers-Jets in review
Pretty good homestand afterall, eh? 4-1-1 sounds better than 4-2, which is really what it was, right? I mean, if the breakaway contest win is a win, the breakaway contest loss should be a loss. But, you know, this is the NHL.
No matter how you slice it, that’s nine points out of 12 on the ‘stand, and 17 of 26 points for the season.
Thoughts:
1) Derek Stepan. I know not...
A Look at the Rangers with WFAN Rangers’ Blogger Brian Monzo
With the New York Rangers just past the 10-game mark this season, I figured now would be a good time to check in with our friend Brian Monzo, the Rangers’ blogger and podcaster for WFAN.com.
Monzo was kind enough to give us his thoughts on this year’s team as well as who has been playing well, who has been a disappointment, and more.
PH: What are some of your general thoughts...

The Rangers Are Awfully Hot Right Now
A week ago, the Rangers were in panic mode and summoning Sean Avery from Hartford in an attempt to inject some life in a team that showed very little of it through the first nine games of the season.
Mission accomplished, although it is hard to say just what Avery has done to turn the team's fortunes around. He has played sparingly in two games, but the Rangers have won four...
