Panthers-Rangers gamer

I always remember Esa Tikkanen calling them “the Punters” with that Tikkanese accent of his. Just wanted to give you this blank slate. I’m at the second of three football games and not freezing (yet). Not bad out. Keep me posted with some score updates later...

Time for some games, and some change

This might be a good time for the Rangers to, you know, get their stuff together. Yeah, they’re a little bit banged up, and yeah, they’ve had some decent performances lately, mixed in with some average to below-average to awful ones. But they sure shouldn’t be...

Old No. 1, and a new No. 1 winger

Washington_capitals_v_3ec5
First of all, sorry for the late mention, but Jim Cerny is interviewing Eddie Giacomin at noon on Rangers Radio. You can hear it here. ———————————————- Steve Zipay reports from practice that...

Moment of the week…and a holiday gift idea

Good afternoon Staal and all! Laurel here with a non-game night clean slate. Why? Oh gee, I can’t think of any reason other than I haven’t been able to lead a post for a while and it gives me such joy! So, rangers.nhl.com has P.A.’s shootout goal as the moment of...

Can’t wait for next week

... because this week has been brutal. First of all, it lacks hockey. I never understood the NHL having three teams in the New York area and having them so often all play the same night, then having two, three, four nights in a week when none of them plays. I don’t get it. I [...]

Quarter-pole report cards

So we’re one-fourth (and a little bit) through the season, and what do we know? Not much yet. I wrote a column about this Rangers’ team and its first 21 games for The Journal News and LoHud.com today. You can read it here (I didn’t write the headline, and I don&...

Bonus post-game stuff

More from Tortorella and some players: Tortorella said that Gilroy was at fault for the third goal, and I don’t disagree. Redden was trapped in a bad spot, and also I thought Lundqvist might have made the save. “It’s a little bit of inexperience on Gilly,”...

Gametime

You know what? The traffic’s pretty heavy here on the Festivus Blog today, so let’s just start with a clean thread for the game. Happy Festivus everyone! ——————- Repost from earlier: No Knuble tonight. No Semin, either. Behave yourselves...

So long, Shanny

Pittsburgh_penguins_v_9ca2
As you’ve heard by now, Brendan Shanahan announced his retirement today. Here’s the story from NHL.com which also has his career stats, etc. Yesterday we were talking about Hall of Famers in the comments section. Well, here’s one that won’t be debated. Wonder...

Tallies and helpers

Good news. Bad news. Worse news. The Rangers finally have a game tonight. It’s on Versus. Alex Ovechkin is expected to return from his “upper body strain.” Could be worse than Versus. You could be in Edmonton where some games are on pay-per-view. Egads. —...

Another long week

The Rangers play Washington tomorrow … the only game in six days, and the third in what will be a 13-day stretch. Just awful. Then, as we mentioned earlier, the Rangers get busy, with five games in eight days, and six in 10. Hope to go to the game Tuesday or some practices...

Rangers-Senators in review

The Rangers tied Ottawa yesterday in Kanata, Ont., and then won a skills competition. So technically, they won. Anyway, some other thoughts. 1) I think P.A. Parenteau should get a shot to stick around for a while. I know, the Rangers are concerned about his skating. Yeah, he...

Rangers-Senators matinee

Doesn’t it seem like forever ago that the Rangers beat the Senators and began a seven-game winning streak? Well, now they’ve lost five of their last six road games and are coming off that woeful home performance against Atlanta (which, by the way, then went home and...

Parenteau recalled, Byers demoted

From the NYR: NEW YORK RANGERS TRANSACTION UPDATE New York, November 13, 2009 – New York Rangers President and General Manager Glen Sather announced today that forward P.A. Parenteau has been recalled from the Hartford Wolf Pack of the American Hockey League (AHL), and forward...

Thrashers-Rangers in review

The “first game home after a road trip of three games or more” theory is built on a solid foundation. Every NHL team has gone through it, and nobody has conquered it. The legs aren’t there, and nobody can explain why. So it’s a legit reason for the Rangers...

Life without Drury, Dubinsky

Washington_capitals_v_733c
So the Rangers think they’ve got enough NHL players to play without two of their top three centers? We’ll see. This is the first game without Chris Drury and Brandon Dubinsky, and I want to see how this is going to work. That will probably be the column I write after...

Game night … finally

Gettyimage
God, I hate these long stretches with no games. I’m sure the teams need them with the condensed schedule … but you have to wonder why a team (the Rangers) plays just three games in 13 days, then crams in five in the next eight days. Apparently, Ilya Kovalchuk was set...

Some hockey news

It was reported in different places yesterday: Ilya Kovalchuk is expected to return from a broken foot tomorrow against the Rangers. Don Maloney and Phoenix are considering talking to Chris Chelios about playing for the Coyotes. Buffalo decided to keep Adam Mair after he cleared...

Leetch memories

Did you know that when Brian Leetch first showed up to join the Rangers as a teenager, his teammates—I think Ron Greschner might have been behind it—nicknames him “Norm” after the Cheers character? I think it was because he had a fat little face when he...

The Hall calls

I just wanted to put this up because the Hockey Hall of Fame induction ceremony is going on right now on NHL Network, and if you can watch it, please do. I thought we might have some discussion here about the Hall, especially about Brian Leetch, one of my favorite all-time athletes...

No call-ups yet

New_york_rangers_b106
The Rangers say that no call-ups are expected today, but of course there are no games until Thursday (I hate these long breaks). In case you missed it, Steve Zipay is reporting that Chris Drury is not ruled out of Thursday’s game at this point, and that Lundqvist was among...
