Rangers Desperately Await Dubinsky/Zuccarello Return

Via The Rangers Tribune  |  May 23, 2012
Through two rounds of the Stanley Cup Playoffs, the New York Rangers appeared to be fine without two key forwards in Brandon Dubinsky (ankle) and Mats Zuccarello (wrist). In fact, when injury struck during the regular season, the Rangers never were a team to lose a step because of it; they continued to trudge on and play through it, finding alternative ways to win hockey games. It...

Lundqvist struggles as Rangers lose Game 5, 5-3

Via AP on Fox  |  May 24, 2012
The New York Rangers played their best game of the postseason against the New Jersey Devils. Unfortunately, it was a night Henrik Lundqvist played his worst Call it bad timing. Whatever. The bottom line is the regular season's best team in the Eastern Conference is on the brink of elimination in the conference finals. Lundqvist gave up a postseason-high four goals on only...

Dubinsky makes return to Rangers

Via Fox Sports  |  May 24, 2012
The love-in started on Brandon Dubinsky's first shift. A loud, welcoming cry of "Doob!" rolled down from the rafters at Madison Square Garden in recognition of a player who was playing his first playoff game since Game 7 against the Ottawa Senators in the Eastern Conference quarterfinals. Dubinsky had an assist in 15:38 of ice time in the Rangers' 5-3 loss to...

Lundqvist Not Worried About Lack of Offense

Via NY Rangers Blog  |  May 23, 2012
Dan Rosen at NHL.com was able to speak with Henrik Lundqvist about the Rangers lack of offense during the postseason..."Honestly, it's not a concern for me at all how many goals we score. I just try to focus on my game. My approach to the game and my mindset doesn't change no matter how many goals we score. A lot of times two or three goals have been enough. I try to...

All on Lundqvist

Via Kukla's Korner  |  May 25, 2012
From Sean Hartnett at WFAN.com: Alone stands a masked man in white.  He is the last line of defense.  His duty is to guard his post from an army of onrushing soldiers dressed in red with the mark of the demon across their chest. Henrik Lundqvist, the man that Rangers fans call ‘King Henrik,’ is faced with the task of not only keeping goals out of his net, but not allowing...

Forget praying; bring energy instead

Via The Prospect Park  |  May 23, 2012
courtesy New York Rangers This might not be the most popular of suggestions, but give me a 50% Brandon Dubinsky in a New York Ranger lineup over some of the performances other players have been showing against the New Jersey Devils. Yes I'm well aware that Brandon had a down season and that many of you would like to see Dubi traded. I also don't hide the fact that I...

Richards Almost the Goat

Via NY Rangers Blog  |  May 24, 2012
I know it doesn't matter because the Rangers lost anyway, but if Brad Richards would have scored the own goal on the Henrik Lundqvist all his clutchness this postseason would have been forgotten in one historically embarrassing flub......not sure I've ever seen that. If Lundqvist doesn't make the save, Richards sees that highlight in every NHL playoff highlight package...

Rangers' season ends with overtime loss to Devils

Via Pro Sports Daily  |  May 26, 2012
Two previous series extended to seven games and two multi-goal comebacks in their final two games proved to be too much for the Rangers in the end. The Rangers' season ended without their first trip to the Stanley Cup finals since their last championship season in 1994, with Devils rookie Adam Henrique's scramble goal 63 seconds into overtime sending the Rangers...

Mike Rupp's 'Sucker Punch' Not Exactly Clean, But Suspension Talk Is Ludicrous (Video)

Via NESN.com  |  May 22, 2012
Mike Rupp isn't on the ice to score goals. He's on the ice to stir the pot. Well, consider the pot stirred. Rupp looked like a man on a mission when he took the ice with the Rangers trailing 3-0 in the third period of Monday's Game 4. He roughed up Steve Bernier at the faceoff circle, dropped Peter Harrold behind the net and gave Anton Volchenkov a decent push. Rupp&...

Postgame: Rangers Fall Short of Completing Comeback Against Devils, Face Elimination on Friday

Via The Rangers Tribune  |  May 23, 2012
It all goes back to the starts.  For the fourth consecutive game in this Eastern Conference Final series, the New York Rangers shot themselves in the foot in the first period before even giving themselves a chance to win. In fact, this was the worst opening ten minutes of any game in the playoffs for New York, as they handed the New Jersey Devils a 3-0 lead in just the first 9...

Rangers Showed Life, Not Lack of Composure, with Game 4 Antics

Via The Rangers Tribune  |  May 22, 2012
It's incredible to think how differently two separate minds could interpret one single series of events. What occurred late in the third period of last night's Game 4 match between the New York Rangers and New Jersey Devils has been portrayed by the media in two distinct ways. There is the group of analysts of the situation who believe that the Rangers' purpose in riling...

Via Pro Sports Daily  |  May 24, 2012
The Los Angeles Kings await. But the New Jersey Devils still have some work to do. Sixth-seeded New Jersey is within one win of going back to the finals for the first time since the Devils won their third Stanley Cup in 2003.
