According to the AHL transactions page the New York Rangers have assigned Brendan Bell to the Connecticut Whale (AHL). The move to demote Bell back to the AHL should mean that Michael Sauer is ready to return to the lineup on Thursday. Adding Sauer back into the lineup should take a little of the burden off of Girardi and McDonagh to eat so much ice time because it will give Tortorella another defender he can lean on. The addition would only help to aid an already strong penalty kill.

Last weekend I took part in a Rangers blogger roundtable discussion with my fellow bloggers, analyzing the first five games of the New York Rangers 2011-12 season. Another one of these will be posted after every five games of the Blueshirts' season, so look for another next week. The roundtable was done in Q and A form, so below are some of the questions along with my answers...

Mats Zuccarello has a lot of talent, an abundance of skill and plenty of vision, but until he strings a few quality performances together at the NHL level doubts will remain about his ability to stick in the big league. Given the prospects coming up through the system, Zuccarello is in danger of becoming increasingly irrelevant in New York.
Regardless of whether you think Zuccarello...

Needless to say, the Rangers would have been perfectly happy coming home to the old arena after the trek they’d just completed.
But to come home to the new lockerroom, new benches, and a one-third renovated Madison Square Garden for the home opener tomorrow, and for Brad Richards to be making his home debut, and for Ryan Callahan to be playing his first home game with the ...

Sorry for the delay, we usually aim to post these things around 7a, but Dave is in California for work, Chris is already serving beer in the UK, and my commute doubles in duration every time it rains. Anyway, here are some quick thoughts before we prepare for the opener tonight. Feel free to chime in below…

“It’s pretty ugly everywhere at times now.”
That was the quote from Brad Richards (on MSG Network), who said several times several different ways that the Rangers: A) survived themselves and a brutal opening schedule and B) are not playing particularly well, even if they are playing hard most of the time and C) got eight points in the bank, and those are non-refundable.

I find it amazing that the New York Rangers managed to go 3-1-0 on their road trip through western Canada considering they were dominated for large portions of every game. I said going into the trip that satisfactory would mean grabbing wins in at least two of the four games, but the Rangers did so in three, improving their record on the season to 3-2-2. Six out of a possible eight...

I’m going to attempt to get into NYC for the Rangers practice at the partially renovated Garden this morning. Can’t promise I will actually get there, but I will try. And if I do, I’ll have some sound from there.

After seven games in three countries and about a month away from home, the New York Rangers were thrilled to return to the friendly confines of Madison Square Garden. Friendly? Most definitely. Familiar? Not so much. The Rangers will become the last of the NHL's 30 teams to play their home opener when they host the Toronto Maple Leafs on Thursday night.

Ruslan Fedotenko did a little bit of everything, backup goalie Martin Biron made a strong first start, and the Rangers bailed themselves out of several long lapses in Monday night's 2-1 win over the Jets (2-5-1) with, of all things, the power play. The Rangers (3-2-2) scored two power play goals after entering the game 1-for-23 when playing a man up.
