Mid Season Report Cards: The Bottom Six
Today we are going to be talking about our unheralded, but no less vital bottom six forwards. Prior to Tortorella’s arrival, the Rangers bottom six was typically composed of too many wannabe skill players like Matt Cullen, Marcel Hossa, etc. The last few years we finally started to value players who understood that their role is to forecheck, backcheck, hit, score dirty goals,...

Rangers' Frolov looks sharp in exhibition victory
Here's a point of reference for Rangers fans regarding Alex Frolov, the first-line left wing signed by general manager Glen Sather for what very well could be the bargain price of $3 million for one season: He is Marcel Hossa with hands, a shot and hockey sense. Frolov was...

Russian Prospects Head Back To Russia
The NHL has been slowly losing talented players to the KHL. The top eight scorers in the KHL are all ex-NHL players. All of them (Maxim Sushinsky, Alexei Yashin, Alexander Radulov, Sergei Zinovjev, Marcel Hossa, Mattias Weindhandl, Patrick Thoresen and Aleksey Morozov) are players who easily hold down NHL jobs. For the KHL to experience future growth, they must...

Isn’t he, like, 40?
I was reading about the Olympic roster for Slovakia today and saw that, in addition to Marian Gaborik, the injured Marian Hossa, the NHL veteran Pavol Demitra, and your old favorite Marcel Hossa, there is a familiar name listed.
Ziggy Palffy. Remember him? Doesn’t it seem that he played decades ago? Didn’t he wear the actual [...]

Rangers Up 3-1, So Let's Talk About Penalties...
You've watched the game, you TiVo-ed Rangers in 60, and you already read all about the game on the Internet.Let me just say a few things, then...- - Sean Avery took 2 penalties in the last half of the third period, the first being on a race for the puck by the Capitals' goal line. I think this was a marginal penalty, at best. It didn't look like he actually meant to hit...

Coyotes Trade Sjostrom, Gratton & LeNevue to Rangers
The Phoenix Coyotes, who most everyone felt would stand pat at the trade deadline, essentially did despite a five-player deal of fringe players. The key players in the deal are both underperforming wingers who average around 10 goals per season. The Coyotes acquire left-wing Marcel Hossa and give...

Let me regale you a tale about a fellow hockey fan - and hopefully, avid reader of this blog - named Lou. I’ve known Lou since 1997 or 1998, and while I don’t follow other sports as much as hockey, we share the same teams in all sports (Rangers, Mets, Jets, nobody likes basketball). I like Lou, and consider him a great friend. However, we have one problem: We have never been...

Hossa Trade Analysis
Ray Shero and the Pittsburgh Penguins certainly surprised many of us with the last minute deal today, especially given the pre-trade day belief that the Penguins were not looking for a blockbuster deal. It would be hard to refute that snatching Marian Hossa, one of the league's top wingers, to play alongside one of the league's most talented centers is anything but a blockbuster...

Rangers Deal Montoya, Li'l Hossa
I'm not sure if there were still any fans out there that believed Montoya was considered a blue-chip prospect - especially after the former first-round pick lost his job in Hartford this season to the unheralded Miika Wiikman. Nevertheless, this is a blow to a franchise that, at the very least, expected to be able to spin the highly-touted Montoya for a valuable asset in the...
