A week after Brad Richards set straight a struggling Derek Stepan by advising him to not overthink and just play, Steve Zipay at Blue Notes reports that Richards has now begun mentoring Michael Del Zotto on and off the ice..."I think it grew together before I approached both players," John Tortorella said. "I have so much respect for Brad Richards, knowing what it's like to be a pro, that's what he can bring. It doesn't even have to be about hockey."...i've been very impressed with Richards on the ice, but his mentoring of the young guys off the ice may be what ultimately changes my tune about his signing.Remember to follow me on Twitter & Facebook or e-mail me at nyrfan94@yahoo.com.

Via Blue Seat Blogs  |  November 08, 2011
Erik Christensen could be one of the most infuriating New York Rangers skaters of all time. When he wants to be, Christensen is one of the most skilled players on the team.

The last four games...

Rangers' Kreider Continues Domination For Boston College

Via Bleeding All Blue  |  November 06, 2011
Last summer there was a push amongst many to have Chris Kreider (2009 1st round pick) turn pro even though he had a subpar season at Boston College.  The idea behind it was that you get him in the professional ranks with the New York Rangers and let them take over his development.  Part of the theory for some was that Kreider seemed bored with college hockey and was not...

… well deserved for MDZ who has been playing his butt off as of late. Getting back on defense and not staying up in the o-zone rush is what catches my eye more lately than ever when it comes to Del Zotto’s game. Now if we can get him to stop passing the puck so [...]
