And I am not talking about the good type of scratching either when you first wake up in the morning. Anoter questionable "coaching" decision by Renney as Sam Weinman is stating that he is scratching Petr Prucha and Lauri Korpikoski in order to install Aaron Voros and Dan...

Considering how often Tom Renney switches up lines when they are clicking (Zherdev-Dubinsky-Voros, Drury-Callahan-Dawes, Gomez-Naslund, Cullen-Prucha-Ortmeyer), why does he never switch the power play lines up? How many times last year did Jaromir Jagr and Brendan Shanahan not score...

It's about that time I throw some grades at the Ranger players and of course their coach. This is a little late than usual but with the hardships I fell on and the frustration I felt over this team I felt like I needed a clear mind to hand out fair grades. Let's get right into...

From Brad Kurtzberg at MaxHockey.com:
Top Defenseman—Marc Staal continues to get improve at the age of 21. Staal is not much of an offensive threat, but he makes a smart first pass out of his own zone and uses his 6’4”, 210-pound frame to take opponents out of the play....

On paper it is supposed to be the deepest position within the entire Ranger system but if you ask Ranger fans, many are not happy with what they have been seeing out of this position at the top of the depth chart. It starts with the team captain Chris Drury as his signing as a free...

OK so if you have not been bored silly with the first 4 parts of our own look at the Rangers then it is time to stop talking about who to get rid of and who to keep and start looking at how to build the 2008-2009 Ranger roster. We think that with a blend of returnees, some promoted...
Homestead Watershed?
This is Dominic Moore. He's among a fairly large list of useful free agents who are still available this summer. The Oilers are in search of a scoring winger but also have a need for someone in the middle up front who can do the finer things (faceoffs, PK, etc).Moore, Manny Malhotra...

It has certainly been a busy offseason to say the least for our New York Rangers. The team that finished off last season by blowing a 3-1 series lead to the Capitals in D.C. has pretty much been relegated to a somewhat distant memory, and for that I am grateful.
A team that roared...

I spoke to Blair Betts and Darroll Powe this afternoon from Denver at their residences.
Betts blames himself for getting hurt, telling me, he should not have reached out for a puck. Powe said that contrary to some rumblings on the net, the hit he took in San Jose that will sideline...

I am reporting on CSNPhilly.com in my blog that among the players missing on the ice today at Flyers' practice ... NO Mark Bell.
Today is cut down day. I assume Bell has been cut only because I don't see him on the ice but I do see Blair Betts, Jason Ward and Mika Pyorala.
