PETR PRUCHA NEWS

Mark Bell...

So John Tortorella thinks Sean Avery should "stay home" because of a bad joke he made about an ex-girlfriend (comments he made on TSN), but apparently being arrested for a hit and run made while driving under the influence is perfectly acceptable. Why do the Rangers need...

Notes From the Garden, 10/20/08...

A few notes from the Garden after a stinker that saw the Rangers play two spirited minutes and 58 boring ones. 1) First of all, kudos to the people who still wear the Charlestown Chiefs jerseys, 31 years after the movie Slap Shot was released.A 2) I don't think the guy in the...

The More Things Change...

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...

Trade Deadline Wrap-Up

The post directly this one was truly exhausting. What you see on this page is the result of five hours of rumor scouring, quick posting when the boss wasn't looking, and general hockey obsession. We got a ton of hits for it, which is awesome, but that's not the point. Instead...

Your Notes from the Garden...

A few notes follow from the home opener at Madison Square Garden. It was the 3rd straight home opener I have attended (the previous two also being season openers) and the first in which a Czech player did not score a goal in under 30 seconds. First off, I think either Aaron Voros or...

Trade Recap via Zach...

Now we know why Petr Prucha has been in the lineup for the past few games. A showcase. But does Don Maloney really need to know what Prucha brings? He was a big proponent of him in NY. Did Tom Renney pull the strings on this deal The Rangers effectively sold the heart and soul of their...

Aggravation...

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 "...

Aftermath of an Embarrassment

I laughed last night. Not only did I laugh, but I laughed hard. Last night was a pure definition of what New York Rangers hockey is like in the year 2009. And it's only February. I didn't want to write this last night as I needed a night to digest what went wrong, who to blame...

Will He, Won't He, Will They, Won't They...

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)

Kaleta Went Headhunting

Buffalo_sabres_v_3853
from Larry Brooks of the NY Post, There was déjà vu all over again on Thursday night with Patrick Kaleta headhunting and Petr Prucha laid-out and groggy on the ice after leaving himself vulnerable to such a malicious blow. Kaleta, the Buffalo winger, represents the worst...

As the Rangers disappear, so do I.Been watching a little of the NHL Playoffs (mainly Anaheim/Detroit). I'm rooting for Vancouver, even though I wouldn't be angry if Boston won.Read about Markus Naslund retiring also. Some outlets (New York Times, for one) claim that if he didn...

For the second straight year, our heroes are 5-1.Last season, they started hot by beating an atrocious Tampa Bay team two games in a row (squeezing by with 2-1 wins in each while outshooting them 80-40 in those two games). That should've sent up red flares that they could only...

Scratch Yourself Renney

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...

Coach Switch...

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...

Report Card

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...

New York Rangers: Why Trading Lauri Korpikoski Doesn't Bother Me At All

New_york_rangers_4abd
There have been a decent group of people, starting with Larry Brooks, who are upset that the Rangers traded yet another prospect of ours, before their full maturation.  Whether it was Tony Amonte, Todd Marchant, Sergei Zubov, Alex Kovalev, Petr Prucha, Al Montoya, Mike Ridley...

Tampa_bay_lightning_c131
Petr Prucha was knocked off his skates in front of the net but still pushed the puck into the net while sitting on a Penguins player's back in the second period, and the Phoenix Coyotes took advantage of nine power plays to beat Pittsburgh 3-0 on Wednesday night.
