RYAN MCDONAGH RUMORS
Why Was McDonagh's Fateful Final Shift 3 Minutes & 4 Seconds Long?
An average shift in the NHL is usually anywhere between 45-60 seconds. So when Ryan McDonagh was out there for a three minute and four second marathon shift in overtime, I guess we can all understand why his clearing attempt was off the mark leading to a delay of game penalty that eventually cost the Rangers the game.
But now the question is, why the heck was he out there so...
Torts: McDonagh Is Fighting It
Ryan McDonagh earned the well deserved reputation of being warrior after last season's breakout year which saw him finish the regular season as a +25 player with 182 blocks while averaging 24:44 of ice time per game.
And I don't think there's a Rangers fan who will ever forget when McDonagh took this hit, which would have put most of us in the hospital, against the...
McDonagh leaves KHL for personal reasons and injury
Per Andrey Osadchenko, who covers the KHL, Ryan McDonagh is on his way home, as he has been granted a leave of absence from Barys to deal with personal issues and an injury. Pat Leonard has additional information, noting that the injury is not believed to be serious.
McDonagh would be the third Rangers roster player to suffer a minor injury while playing overseas. Rick Nash suffered...
Ryan McDonagh Signs in KHL
New York Rangers defenseman Ryan McDonagh has become the third Blueshirt to sign overseas during the current NHL lockout, inking a deal with HC Barys Astana of the KHL. McDonagh follows in the footsteps of teammates Rick Nash and Carl Hagelin, who made the jump from North America several weeks ago. McDonagh actually held out for quite a while, turning down two previous offers to...
Player Review: Ryan McDonagh
Ryan McDonagh is a special kind of hockey player that the Rangers are extremely fortunate to have on their hands. For a kid that was only recalled by the Rangers in December of 2010, it's amazing that he is already among the League's best shutdown defensemen in 2012. It's been a pleasure watching Ryan mature and grow into the powerhouse that he now is, and the best is...
Ryan McDonagh probably won’t be getting a contract extension this summer
In a season full of surprises, none was bigger than 22-year-old defenseman Ryan McDonagh.
The former Wisconsin Badger was stolen from Montreal in the laughable Scott Gomez salary dump, arguably Glen Sather’s greatest transaction as general manager of the New York Rangers.
McDonagh spent the first half of the 2010-2011 season quietly honing his game in Connecticut before being called...
Brooks: McDonagh Was A Throw-In
That title is a bit surprising, eh? Larry Brooks of the NY Post has the scoop that now ex-GM of the Montreal Canadiens Bob Gainey wasn’t all that impressed with Ryan McDonagh when they went to scout him in Wisconsin after drafting him 12th overall in the 2007 draft. According to Brooks, the Canadiens expected more:
The Canadiens apparently expected McDonagh to become a dominant...
How Much Would You Pay Ryan McDonagh?
Usually anything written about Ryan McDonagh should begin with a big, passionate thank you to Bob Gainey but not this time as we’re past that (thanks Bob). We’re at the point now where McDonagh is becoming an integral part of the Rangers line-up, so much so that well ahead of schedule it’s a legitimate point in time to begin to discuss what McDonagh will be worth to the Rangers...
McDonagh's Rising Offensive Confidence Raises Ceiling For Defenders Potential
The
evolution of Ryan McDonagh continues and with each passing game the 22-year-old
defender takes his game to another level for the New York Rangers. Last week I took a look at how far McDonagh
has come since last year at this time and that he
has developed into a top caliber defender that has made the loss of Marc
Staal significantly less noticeable than many would have...
McDonagh Has Grown Into Top Caliber Defender For Rangers
One year ago Ryan McDonagh was coming off his first training
camp with the New York Rangers having shown well in the preseason, but having been
sent down to get more experience with the then Hartford Wolf Pack (AHL). McDonagh struggled early on in the AHL, but
few would believe that with the way he has grown since joining the Rangers on
January 3, 2011. When McDonagh...
