As someone who was asked to be part of this site a year ago, it saddens me to see Steve Lepore leave our fine site. Over the year, he has put in a lot of time and devotion to turn this into a fun and worthwhile blog about the three locals.We've seen it grow and added some excellent...

-Updated 2:15 Friday-Paul Mara sprained his shoulder in last night's third period collision with the boards, and is almost certainly out for tomorrow's game. Marek Malik looks to play with Michal Rozsival and Marc Staal should shift down with Jason Strudwick. As much as I like...

I don't know about you, but I loved tonight's Rangers v Devils game. The final score was 1-0 Rangers, in overtime, off of a Brendan Shanahan one-timer a mere 30 seconds into the extra frame. Fedor Tyutin and Scott Gomez got the assists. Henrik Lundqvist was his old self in...
Rangers stink up ice again

If you want to say the other night against Carolina was a fluke, maybe not. There were absolutely zero excuses for how pathetic the Rangers were in tonight's 6-2 loss to the Maple Leafs before a disappointed Garden crowd which booed loudly and then quietly filed out as Leafs Nation...
Devils Get a Huge Win over Pens 3-2

What a game. The Devils save their season with a huge win over Pittsburgh 2-1. Zach Parise got both goals on the power play. Marty Brodeur played a fantastic game, only an Evgeni Malkin goal off a redonkulous turnover by Johnny Oduya (sigh) kept him from the shutout.Great game, including...

Its been a while since I posted, simply because my job is very busy during the holiday season. Last night I got some time to take in an Islander game. Its probably my 6th or 7th game of the season and personally, I have been undefeated. Every game I have gone to this season, the Isles...

It was an uphill battle for the Islanders all night against the Penguins in a tough 3-2 defeat at The Coliseum tonight.They fell behind by two quickly on goals by Sidney Crosby and Ryan Whitney less than four minutes apart in the opening stanza. However, Ted Nolan's hard working...

Scott Gomez scored the lone Rangers goal on his 28th birthday last night, but it wasn't enough as the Rangers dropped a 3-1 game to the Ottawa Senators.Great recap below from Derek, but here are some of my observations from last night's game:- As much as I hated the Jason Strudwick...
Power Outage on Broadway

Battle of New York
| Comments
Alright. Maybe Fedor Tyutin (closing eyes in this picture) isn't really to blame for the pathetic power outage that continues to plague the Rangers. The defenseman has scored three goals this season which is only a couple fewer than struggling captain Jaromir Jagr. Even though...
Rangers snap three-game skid, end Devils' win streak at nine
December 25, 2007 by
Battle of New York
| Comments
Maybe the Devils are getting sick of seeing the Rangers. Or just maybe the Blueshirts prefer to see their Hudson rivals as opponents because they seem to bring out the best in Tom Renney's club.Whatever the reason(s), the Rangers were extremely sharp this afternoon and posted a...
Gionta shootout winner keeps Devils on roll
December 25, 2007 by
Battle of New York
| Comments
Apparently, somebody forgot to tell Brian Gionta and the Devils that they weren't supposed to be this good. Well, at least good enough to reel off seven in a row to get themselves right back in the Atlantic race tied with the Flyers just a couple of points behind the first place...
Tale of two locals: Rangers get it righted, Devs take it on chin
December 19, 2007 by
Battle of New York
| Comments
So far, it's been a tale of two very different nights for the locals in action tonight.For Brent Sutter's first place Devils, it's been about as ugly as it was for Tom Renney's Rangers the other night in an brutal home defeat to the Coyotes.It's been all Canucks...

They're nearly halfway through regulation and only one goal has been scored. Fredrik Sjostrom's sixth 3:22 into the second period has Wayne Gretzky's hard working Phoenix team in front of the first place Devils.Though the Coyotes (13-16-0) have only 26 points which is tied...

It was all Coyotes as they surprised the first place Devils before a nice crowd of over 16,000 with a well earned 4-1 victory at The Rock in Newark.They really controlled the second period outshooting Brent Sutter's club 17-13 including the first of two goals from Fredrik Sjostrom...
Chris Simon's Statement

Battle of New York
| 2 comments
Battle of New York has Chris Simon's complete apology. It obviously wasn't written by Simon himself, but it's an interesting take on how he percieves the events that took place the other night. He claims that due to a concussion he barely even remembered the incident until...
Marcel Hossa & Sean Avery = Rangers win 5-0?
February 10, 2007 by
Battle of New York
| Comments
Rangers won big, 5-0 over the Lightning, in their first game with Avery acclimated to the team. Team has an easy schedule for the next few games so it makes for a nice time for them to pull themselves back into the race. The team certainly has the talent, they were leading the Atlantic...
