First, the news. Sean Avery practiced today, albeit in an orange “no-contact” jersey, and said his knee felt good, although he said he didn’t push it.
Avery will push a little harder tomorrow, but isn’t venturing a guess on his availability for Friday’...

We had much discussion Tuesday on the book “100 Ranger Greats” rankings. So I felt the need to give you the whole list (hopefully you’ll still get the book, because there’s a pretty well-written, well-researched story on each of the 100 guys). The list is too...
The Best Ranger(s) ever

Somebody brought up the point last week that Jaromir Jagr may have been the most skilled or most talented player, still in his prime, to ever play for the Rangers.
Interesting thought. Not sure if I completely agree or not, but here’s another set of arguments along the same...
First day of the post preseason
September 28, 2009 by
Rangers Report

And just a few quick thoughts:
1) Michael Rozsival was always a solid, unspectacular defenseman with decent puck skills. Last year he seemed to decline. This preseason he’s been far worse. And Dan Girardi is struggling, too. That’s two of the only four defensemen with...
Rangers send Grachev to Hartford

Rangers Report

This surprises me, but the Rangers assigned Evgeny Grachev to Hartford this evening. I guess they figure he’ll be better off playing first-line minutes in the AHL than third or fourth-line minutes in New York, but … think of the slugs who will be playing for the Rangers...

Rangers Report

Yes, there were some good things shown by the Rangers in the third period, although I think the recap on the Rangers’ site might have been a tad over-the-top positive.
The first two periods were abysmal, and the comeback was nice, but that’s because the Rangers threw...

My thanks to Carp for allowing me the privilege of posting. In a mere six days, the puck will drop in Pittsburgh, and the games will mean something again. Until then, a few random thoughts, memories, predictions, and musings from one fan’s perspective:

Doobie, Doobie, Dooooo … and some chemistry
I figured that was an appropriate title after tonight’s second to last pre-season game against the Caps.
I liked what I saw from Dubinsky, period. Hard on the puck, looking for opportunites, finishing all of his checks, and playing...

My Pro – Sather Rant
I know, I know, that is not a popular concept in Rangerland. I’m not gonna sit here and tell you all that I think that Slats has been a dream GM. But, since we are on the brink of the 2009-2010 season, with the possibility of starting 4-5 rookies...

Rangers beat the Red Wings Last night, 3-2 at Madison Square Garden. The game marked Marian Gaborik’s first appearance as a Ranger. The Blueshirts looked fantastic in the first period, but listless through the final two. I think we all hope they buck this trend quickly.

Some thoughts 0n last night’s game, with a quick turnaround to this afternoon’s game in Boston (4 p.m., MSG).
1) Anisimov, Grachev, Lisin. Skills and skating. Good combo in a Tortorella system. Just give them sweaters. Loved Gilroy the other night. I also think that...

The Rangers will cut down to 29, 30 or so today. Some thoughts after a couple of preseason games:
1) The Avery Rules are in effect even for preseason games. I mean, geez, he knocked over a goalie last night, but the puck was already in the net, and then he got punched in the face [...]

That means time for a blank slate for all your comments.
Here it is. Enough said.
