JOHN MITCHELL RUMORS
Avs center John Mitchell ain’t gonna win any beauty contests with this face
“Look away, I’m hideous.”
The Colorado Avalanche signed center John Mitchell this offseason for his grit and toughness, and after looking at that picture of Mitchell there, he must have those two qualities in spades. On Thursday night against the Columbus Blue Jackets, and on only his second shift of the game, Mitchell took a shot to the forehead off the stick of Adrian Aucoin...
Bickel Re-Signs with Rangers, Mitchell to Colorado
We're over an hour into today's free agent frenzy and two moves impacting the New York Rangers have already been made.
First and foremost, the Rangers have re-signed rugged defenseman Stu Bickel to a two-year contract worth $750,000 per year. Bickel played in 51 regular season games with the Blueshirts, and would later tack-on 18 more in the postseason. His physical game...
John Mitchell Going To Colorado
The Rangers lose one of their depth forwards as John Mitchell has signed with the Colorado Avalanche. Mitchell played some big minutes for the Rangers and was a very effective 3rd and 4th line forward but he is someone that the Rangers could replace with the guys out on the open market. Konopka, Knuble, this free [...]
Player Review: John Mitchell (UPDATE)
John Mitchell was not a player anyone really expected to touch the ice in a Rangers jersey at any point this season, but that changed on November 25 of 2011 when he was recalled by the team from the Connecticut Whale of the AHL to play against the Washington Capitals, along with Carl Hagelin. Mitchell would never look back to the AHL from that point on, sticking with the Blueshirts...
New York Rangers Report Card: Left Wingers
Now it’s time to grade the left wingers of the New York Rangers. We loved the heat our grade for John Mitchell brought to our comments section, it was great. But then again, hater’s who consistently hate on one name will always go after guys like Mitchell, especially in New York. And yes, for the [...]
Stay or go: John Mitchell
Over the next few weeks leading into free agency, we will be looking at the Rangers UFAs and RFAs and analyzing their contribution to the team, potential asking price, and potential future with the Rangers organization. In typical BSB fashion, we like to kick things off with the player that brings up the most debate in regards to keeping him. That player, of course is John Mitchell...
Minor Addition Solid Contribution
The title of the post; that’s how you can measure John Mitchell’s impact since coming to the Rangers at the tail end of last season. Not every player can be judged solely on points as Brian Boyle would surely agree.
Mitchell has come over to the Rangers and fits with how John Tortorella wants to play. He plays hard in the corners, uses his size to good effect while his work ethic...
Mitchell Making Most of His Opportunity
Amazing pic of John Mitchell celebrating his first goal as a Ranger during the Blueshirts 4-3 win over the Penguins last night...Mitchell has 1g, 2a and is a +3 in the three games since being recalled with Carl Hagelin....i've got to admit when I saw that Mitchell had been recalled with Hagelin my first thought was "why?" I guess now I know. The chemistry he has with...
Carl Hagelin And John Mitchell Recalled
During yesterday’s Thanksgiving festivities, the Rangers made a pair of call ups that got the Twitter-verse and blog-o-sphere talking. Much hyped prospect Carl Hagelin, who has been tearing up the AHL, and John Mitchell were both recalled. In 17 games with the Whale, Hagelin has a line of 7-6-13 and a whopping +12 rating, while Mitchell has posted a line of 7-7-14 with a +1 rating...
