By KYLE BAUER Now some guys are getting desperate, or maybe not. The Kontinental Hockey League (KHL) –born out of the Russian Super League– has mined European NHL talent for the past four seasons in an attempt to boost their notoriety and talent pool. So far, the crop has been mostly veteran defectors- Sergei Fedorov, Alexei Yashin, Viktor Kozlov, Jozef Stumpel, Marcel...

With New York Rangers eliminated, the future is the main focus

On Saturday afternoon, the New York Rangers were knocked out of contention for Lord Stanley’s Cup by the Washington Capitals, the second time in the past three years. Now, the focus is on the future and it’s as bright as it’s been in a long time. This team is being built the right way after years of high priced free agent busts and trades that didn’t work...

New York Rangers sneak into playoffs thanks to ‘Canes loss

The New York Rangers had to sit around and wait awhile on this Saturday in April. They already did they part and everything was out of their hands. After New York defeated the New Jersey Devils 5-2 in their last game of the regular season, Carolina had to lose in order for the Rangers to avoid missing the playoffs for the second straight year. The Hurricanes were crushed on their...

2010-11 Game 76: New York Rangers 1, Boston Bruins 0

Rangers Win By Playing Rangers’ hockey

In today’s 7-0 white-washing of the Philadelphia Flyers, the New York Rangers won by playing the kind of hockey that made them so successful earlier on in the season. They forechecked, they hit, they blocked shots, they allowed their goaltender Henrik Lundqvist to see the puck, they cleared rebounds and they got timely goal scoring. Normally, this is a good recipe of success...

2010-11 Game 68: New York Rangers 7, Philadelphia Flyers 0

2010-11 Game 67: New York Rangers 4, Ottawa Senators 1

Getting away from the NYC spotlight did something to this team. After three sluggish games on home ice (all losses), the Rangers easily defeated the Senators 4-1 on Friday night. If the Rangers don’t want to be watching the playoffs from home for the second straight year, they need more games like this. New York scored the first four goals of the game before Ottawa broke the...

2010-11 Game 65: Buffalo Sabres 3, New York Rangers 2

The beginning of March did not start off on the right foot, as the Rangers dropped their second straight game Tuesday night against the Buffalo Sabres, 3-2. One of the only good moments for New York was defenseman Bryan McCabe getting his first point with the team. Other than that, just another head-shaker for Blueshirts Nation. Once again, the Rangers fell into an early deficit...

Are New York Rangers hurting from returning players?

Sounds like a silly concept, right? A team is actually worse for getting their best players back. In the midst of a five-game losing streak, I’m wondering that as a fan. They have an overtime loss (which is a point), but that’s still a loss in my mind.  But what if I tell you that it may not be as crazy as it seems? During the Rangers’ last game before the All...

2010-11 Game 54: NJD 3, New York Rangers 2

After an emotional loss to the Penguins on Tuesday night, the schedule seemed to have gotten easier when the Rangers welcomed the Devils to town. The team with the league’s worst record is a team you’re supposed to beat. But once again, that didn’t happen. The Rangers continued to play bad against bad teams by losing to their division rival 3-2 on Thursday night...

In a season of injures, Vaclav Prospal, Chris Drury, Erik Christensen and Ryan Callahan, add another forward to that list in Frolov. Though he wasn't really scoring, the Rangers can't keep losing...

What The F$%& Happened to the Phantoms?
