Life without Drury, Dubinsky
22 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
23 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.
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

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
26 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...

The NHLPA e-mailed me about its Goals and Dreams world tour to celebrate the program’s 10th anniversary. Former players will donate $180,00 worth of hockey equipment to grassroots hockey programs in Sweden, Finland, Russia, Latvia, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Bosnia, Germany...
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 [...]

I’ve got nuthin’ but frozen fingers… just finished my second of three football games. So I have no idea what happened today, if anything. No idea what you guys have been talking about. No idea about anything except where the heat button is on my dashboard as I attempt...
Rangers-Flames tonight

Rangers Report

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

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.

Combined, he and I make more than $30 million a year. (actually, between the time of this photo and the time it took to actually get him to answer a few [...]

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.
The last thread reminded...
Vancouver winter wonderland

Rangers Report

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...

Rangers Report

Frankly, I expected John Tortorella to be more ticked off last night, after the tons of mistakes, and after some questionable effort on the part of some of his players. Overall, he said, the battle level was acceptable, and I agree. But some individuals, he said, did not work hard...

What a great city. Wish I was there. If you’ve ever had the pleasure, you know what I’m talking about. If you haven’t, and you get the opportunity, do get there someday.
Did I mention that the Sedins remind me of the Proclaimers: “And I would walk 500 miles...

Byfuglien!
If the Yankees had finished it off last night, I’d be free and clear for some hockey this week—even with the Rangers in the Northwest corner of the continent. Instead, it’s back to the new Stadium for workouts this afternoon and evening, and Game 6 tomorrow...
Bruins-Rangers in review

Like a lot of New Yorkers—judging by the numbers here yesterday—there was too much going on yesterday to fully focus on the Rangers, and even Rangers in 60 was in the way of the World Series. (I also has the three-hour leaf-blowing interruption).
To see some of the highlights...
