Rangers had interest in Stephen Weiss; In on Ribiero?

Found March 14, 2013 on Blue Seat Blogs: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Stephen Weiss,  Brad Richards,  Derek Stepan,  Brian Boyle,  Jeff Halpern
TEAMS: Florida Panthers,  New York Rangers

Mike Ribiero? Interesting to say the least. It’s long been rumored that the Rangers were talking to the Florida Panthers regarding Stephen Weiss, and Katie Strang confirmed that yesterday. Weiss is now out for the season, having undergone wrist surgery. While that path has closed, it appears that E.J. Hradek has mentioned that the Rangers are in on the Caps’ Mike Ribiero. There is no link to this other than the NHL Wiki page, as this was said on NHL Live. Both Weiss and Ribiero are scoring centers who are not very reliable defensively (-15.5 and -11.3 RCorsi, respectively). The Rangers appear to be set down the middle with Brad Richards, Derek Stepan, Brian Boyle, and Jeff Halpern, so this rumor is a bit confusing. But when you dive deeper, it’s not all that surprising to see this. First things first: Brian Boyle has been underwhelming and has been a healthy scratch for four games this season. While he has been solid defensively, he hasn’t been able to contribute offensively at all...

Winnipeg Jets fans chant 'Tortorella' during win over Rangers (Video)

Via Holdout Sports  |  March 15, 2013
Winnipeg Jets fans could be heard taunting New York Rangers head coach John Tortorella with a "Tortorella" chant during the third period of the Jets' 3-1 win over the Rangers Thursday night. The win put the Jets in eighth place in the Eastern Conference, two points ahead of the Rangers. Video via NHL.com. H/T PD. Visit us at holdoutsports.com and follow...

Can't Get Worse For Gaborik Who Is Available for a Trade

Via NY Rangers Blog  |  March 15, 2013
It's been unfortunate to watch a 40-goal scorer like Marian Gaborik struggle to find the back of the net this season. And last night in Winnipeg might have been rock bottom when he could barely get a shot off during a penalty shot and did this afterward... Meanwhile, Pierre LeBrun at ESPN.com reports that although the Rangers aren’t necessarily shopping Gaborik, he’s...

John Tortorella ‘Disgusted’ With Rangers, Refuses to Give Sabres Credit for Beating New York (Video)

Via NESN.com  |  March 13, 2013
“We sucked.” Those were just two of a bunch of pointed words John Tortorella had for his hockey club following the Rangers’ loss to the Sabres on Tuesday night. The New York head coach went off on one of his patented postgame rants yet again, as the Blueshirts dropped a 3-1 decision to Buffalo. Tortorella unloaded on his team after the game, saying that he was “disgusted”...

Stepan Has Become Rangers Top Center

Via NY Rangers Blog  |  March 13, 2013
A month ago, Rangers fans were more than willing to see the struggling Derek Stepan sent to the Colorado Avalanche for Ryan O'Reilly. While Stepan offered more offensively than O'Reilly, Rangers fans felt O'Reilly's superior face-off ability and toughness made him a much more viable option for the Blueshirts. Since those rumors, Stepan has gone on an absolute...

Girardi Playing Well Below 100%

Via NY Rangers Blog  |  March 14, 2013
In an article on the Rangers trying to bounce back from their tough loss in Buffalo, Pat Leonard at the Daily News reports that Dan Girardi is playing well below 100%. Girardi smirked and said “I feel good” when questioned about his health yesterday. In case you haven't noticed, Girardi has been given the "A" again with Staal out of the line-up. ....

Micheal Haley Should Stay With the Rangers

Via NY Rangers Blog  |  March 13, 2013
Since being called up by the Rangers on March 5, Micheal Haley has been better than expected. His days with the Islanders showed he could fight anyone, but not much else. With the Blueshirts, we've actually seen he can be an effective hockey player. He forechecks well, uses the body and skates decently (although he won't be confused with Ryan McDonagh anytime soon) to...

Jan Levine: Game 25: BUF 3 NYR 1, Bottom Six. Tortorella. Gaborik.

Via HockeyBuzz  |  March 13, 2013
The Rangers came up with one of their worst efforts of the season in their 3-1 loss to the Sabres on Tuesday. The only worse than that effort might have been coach John Tortorella's post-game press conference, which was more of the usual from him, though with even more vitriol for the media than usual. Bottom six. Torts. Gaborik. The only positive from the game was the...

Shawn Matthias scores sick shorthanded goal

Via Diehardsport  |  March 14, 2013
Those who work hard often get rewarded, and that is exactly what happened during the Boston Bruins-Florida Panthers game on Thursday night.  Early in the second period the Panthers were killing off a penalty and Bruins defenseman Dougie Hamilton missed a bad pass and the puck squirted out to center ice.  Panthers forward Shawn Matthias out-hustled Hamilton and dove for the loose...

Perhaps the best save I have seen all year. Lundqvist, even though out of position, finds the puck and is able to get his leg out to make a great save.  The overhead camera at the end of the video is the best angle to see exactly what Lundqvist did.

Panthers get D Brennan from Sabres for pick

Via Fox Sports Florida  |  March 15, 2013
BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) -- The Buffalo Sabres have traded defenseman T.J. Brennan to the Florida Panthers in exchange for a fifth-round pick in this year's draft. The move came after Buffalo already began shuffling its roster by returning rookie center Mikhail Grigorenko to his team in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League. Brennan had one goal in 10 games this season. He also had...

Panthers at Bruins game preview

Via Fox Sports Florida  |  March 14, 2013
Game time: 7 p.m. ETTV: FOX Sports Florida The Boston Bruins have clearly played like one of the Eastern Conference's top teams, which is perhaps why their last result was so disappointing. A matchup at home Thursday night against the struggling Florida Panthers should provide Boston with a good opportunity to bounce back. The Bruins (17-4-3) won three in a row and nine of 11...
