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...

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.

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
14 days ago by
Rangers Report
| Comments
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...

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...

Thrashers-Rangers in review
15 days ago by
Rangers Report
| Comments
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
16 days ago by
Rangers Report
| Comments
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
16 days ago by
Rangers Report
| Comments
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...

It was reported in different places yesterday:
Ilya Kovalchuk is expected to return from a broken foot tomorrow against the Rangers.

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

Rangers Report

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
19 days ago by
Rangers Report
| Comments
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...

Now what?

Rangers Report

Drury had been a near-zero some nights, and Dubinsky maybe a 3 or 4 on a scale of 1-10 so far. ... and yet now we will see how much they mean to the Rangers. We will also see how thin this roster actually is. And we’ve had an idea of that right from the [...]

Rangers-Flames tonight

Calgary. The other Alberta meat.
Once upon a time, this was a deadly double-stop. I actually kept track of stuff like this.
In the 1980s through ‘90, for a span of eight years, either Edmonton or Calgary was in the Stanley Cup final.
And back then, most seasons, every...
Rangers-Oilers in review
22 days ago by
Rangers Report

This was pretty simple. A good win, good effort, against an undermanned team that played pretty poorly.
So, no, I’m not putting much into the 4-2 victory in Edmonton, other than it is sure better than a loss, an overtime loss or one of those skills competition losses. Those...

I’ll let this baseball thing go after this.
My mom found this photo of me and some other guy after the World Series last night.

Which is more incredible?
Here’s the link to Larry Brooks’ story today, about the Rangers’ interest in Peter Forsberg and Glen Sather actually admitting it. I wonder which of the bad contracts he will have to eat in order to afford Forsberg.

Vancouver winter wonderland

While the Rangers were in Vancouver, there was lots of talk about the Olympics—including that bit about fans should get H1NI flu shots before they go, and that the Canucks will be away from their home rink for 40 days—and this scenario kind of reared its head in my imaginative...
