Finally, a Ranger game! It feels like a week ago that Versus treated us to the analytical stylings of Joe Beninati and Billy Jaffe during the Islander-Ranger game at MSG (that I sold my tickets to). In reality, it was something like 4 and a half days ago, and by chance, Joe Beninati...

Trying to come up with some cute line to start our look at the Ranger defense though the entire system simply was not worth the effort. What should be one of the biggest strengths on the Rangers has become a major question mark of which direction the Rangers need to take.On the surface...

One of my favorite things in life - besides Americanized Mexican food, Internet pastimes not including this blog, and TV shows on DVD - is going to Ranger games outside of New York. I go to enough Ranger games at MSG (I have a half-season package) and I go to a few at the Coliseum...

The reason I'm going to be brief about this particular preview is because what I saw of the Rangers through the preseason, and then what I saw in the back to back 2-1 wins over Tampa in Praha were enough to set my brain into a tailspin... Totally dominated in the games that didn...

A few things were apparent at the onset of the Rangers-Bruins game on Saturday night. First off, it was going to be a goaltending duel (much more exciting to watch than a pitching duel in baseball). Second, it was probably going to be a shootout (I prematurely predicted a 2-1 final...

I am one Ranger fan who really likes Joe Micheletti's color commentary. He's no John Davidson, but he knows his stuff, loves the game, doesn't play favorites, and is generally interesting enough to hold my attention even during a Devil's game. And of course, I love...

Well, that was unexpected. I sort of expected the Islanders to crap out at some point. Maybe I was just preparing myself for the worst. You sort of learn to do that every now and again when you support this team. But it didn't happen. If anything, the Islanders got stronger as...
This Things I Believe
Since there are no pressing issues in the (hockey) world, I?ll go back to one of my trademark segments, ?This Things I Believe?? I believe? Glen Sather is to blame for the mess in New York. There have been six coaching changes in the NHL this year, including five in the Eastern Conference...

The Rangers played tonight like they played all of last season – tentative, over-thinking hockey. While they had over 30 shots, most of them were bad-angle shots like Chris Drury, Markus Naslund, and Scott Gomez did over 89 games last season.

I won't dwell much on a player who won't be in a Ranger uniform for another 5 months, but I will add a few notes on Matt Gilroy.This year, the Rangers have 6 defensemen (regardless of whether or not you think some of them are really "7th d-men").Next year, the following...

If you didn't know any better, you'd think Tom Renney was still coaching the Rangers. Sure, there were moments that inspired you. Markus Naslund dropping the gloves with Ian White. Chris Drury, Michal Rozsival, and Wade Redden collaborating on a power play goal. Petr Prucha...

If tonight's Rangers vs. Maple Leafs game had occured during the 2003-04 season, it would have been a scoreless tie, and the fans would have been angry. However, it was a very exciting game besides the final tally, and the third period was especially fun to watch.A Personally...

It's aggravating when the Rangers put forth a decent effort and still come up blank - and they have now been outscored 8-0 in their 3 afternoon games this season (4-0 to Panthers, 3-0 to Penguins, 1-0 today to Bruins). You will see other writers and media-types call this a "...

Hockey in Tennessee, who would've thought it! 16,241 tickets were sold, about 900 short of a sell-out. There were a few empty seats around me. I sat in the 3rd row, in the middle of the zone where the Rangers shot in the 1st and 3rd periods. I was to the right of the goalies.The...

It sure saves me time when the Rangers lose continually - I just keep rehashing old points. Okay, I won't do that today, for sure, because I don't want to bore everyone like the Rangers bored me today. Yes, the first 8 or 9 minutes were good, and they have a furious - for them...

In a month - or hell, even two days from now - this all could be seen as stupid speculation, but it's worth bringing up. Questions:1) Is it worth trading a player valuable to the Rangers for the next 5 seasons today to acquire Mats Sundin for (at most) a year and a half? 2)

Okay, I’ll do them. I’ll do some predictions for next year, if only so I can do my yearly look back at preseason predictions to see how good everyone did. For the record, out of 6 last year, I came in 6th, and Isles’ Writer Bryan came in 2nd place.
So.
