Where's The Offense?

Found February 25, 2013 on NY Rangers Blog: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Rick Nash,  Ryan Callahan,  Brad Richards,  Marian Gaborik,  Taylor Pyatt,  Chris Kreider,  Brian Boyle,  Jeff Halpern,  Marc Staal,  Matt Gilroy,  Michael Del Zotto
TEAMS: New York Rangers
Not sure how it's possible for a team to be dependent on a player who's scored just three goals in 14 games this season, but that's just what's happened to the Rangers. In the three games since Rick Nash was injured, Rangers forwards have scored exactly one goal (Ryan Callahan). That's right, in the last nine periods, one goal from Rangers forwards. Just let that sink in for a second. The Rangers offensive futility has them dead last in the Eastern Conference in goals scored with just 41. Tampa leads the Conference with 69 goals. They're also tied for 28th in the league with a miniscule seven power play goals. So who are the biggest offenders for the Rangers? Enjoy... Brad Richards - 0 goals in his last 12 games Marian Gaborik - 1 goal in his last seven games Ryan Callahan - 1 goal in his last six games Taylor Pyatt - 0 goals in his last 13 games Chris Kreider - 1 goals in 10 games this season Brian Boyle - 0 goals in...

Nash on the ice, McDonagh not

Via Blue Seat Blogs  |  February 26, 2013
Great news this morning as Rick Nash is on the ice for practice, per Pat Leonard. Nash is also in a contact jersey, which hopefully means he will be playing tonight. Leonard also noted that Ryan McDonagh is not on the ice this morning, and neither is Marc Staal. Staal is probably just off for maintenance, but McDonagh is likely still feeling the effects of that Max Pacioretty hit...

In more of a housekeeping move than anything else, the Rangers have placed Rick Nash on injured reserve retroactive to last Saturday.  This frees up a roster spot for the newly called-up Christian Thomas.  Nash will be eligible to come off IR tomorrow.  Nothing to read into this, just a paperwork move.

Ryan Callahan Is An Absolute Eff'n Beast

Ryan Callahan scored his second goal in three games last night, but it was his determination early in the second period that got the MSG crowd into a frenzy... ...just in awe of Cally after that sequence. I almost smashed my television when 55 seconds later this warrior-like effort was wasted by his teammates who were embarrassingly not inspired and allowed a goal to Olli...

Upgrading skill at the sacrifice of toughness remains the right decision, despite frustrating results

Via Blue Seat Blogs  |  February 25, 2013
The additions of skilled players like Rick Nash give the 2013 Rangers a higher ceiling John Tortorella was a deserving Jack Adams Award finalist in 2011-2012 because he squeezed every ounce out of an under-talented, overachieving group.  The Rangers made it to within two games of the Stanley Cup Finals well ahead of their anticipated window for contention because Tortorella got...
