Those who are into basketball are into the "Going to the Dance" which
is not bad but for us who love hockey this is the start of a great big
party. For us this is the best time of year because all over North
America at US colleges, the CHL leagues and even the USHL is...

If there is one thing that we really have enjoyed about covering New
York Ranger prospects this season then it has to be that just about
every time we asked to see something from Ranger prospects they
delivered. On Sunday it was once again Chris Doyle and Evgeny
Grachev who responded...

the 2008 draft class of Michael Del Zotto, Derek Stepan and Evgeny...

Another Brampton Battalion game, another strong performance by
Evgeny Grachev. It has gone way past the point when we have any new way
to describe just how solid a performance that Grachev has just put up. Maybe
we should just post the scoresheets and update the numbers anytime...

As the final week of the CHL regular season gets underway, teams like
Tomas Kundratek's Medicine Hat Tigers are still jockeying for playoff
position. Entering Tuesday's game against the Red Deer Rebels,

get to see the best possible look at how New York Ranger prospects are
doing. All the lessons that the Rangers tried to teach these prospects
either show up and pay dividends or the prospect becomes invisible....

The New York Rangers may still have 17 games left in their season but
for the prospects it is playoff time as the march towards championships
begin. Already we have one elimination, one sudden death survival and
one message sent about a prospect. Tonight's Star: Derek Stepan...

Someone forgot to tell New York Ranger prospects that Saturday is when
they normally do not put up numbers as Friday has been their strong
night. Not this week as the output of Ranger prospects was 1 goal and 3
assists. Evgeny Grachev
is now just one point away from tying the Brampton...

There are two very good reasons why when we hear The Sather speak about
New York Ranger young players that we get very nervous. The first is
Michael Del Zotto and the second Evgeny Grachev as every time The
Sather says he is not going to move young players we do not trust him
because...

Tonight's Star Chris Doyle So just when we were ready to call Chris Doyle a "one half wonder" does his scoring touch reappear as it did on Tuesday evening as Doyle's 3 points helped his Prince Edward Island Rocket to a 7-5 come from behind win over the Acadie-Bathurst...

OK people gather together here as we need to sit down and have a chat. I want you to take a good hard look at this picture (of Glen Sather) and ask yourself this question: If
Glen Sather could not be trusted to screw in a lightbulb without
somehow messing it up; how exactly can...

Just as we were going to send out a New York Ranger's Prospect missing persons alert on him, Chris Doyle
showed some signs of life with a goal and an assist on Sunday. Doyle
and his Prince Edward Island Rocket thanks to 3 goals in the 3rd period
defeated the Halifax Mooseheads...

Saturday evening but the numbers and efforts that were put out deserve

As it has been the trend for this season, the New York Ranger prospects
had one heck of a Friday evening starting with the 2 goal, 1 assist, +2
evening from Max Campbell of Western Michigan. Campbell's 15th and 16th goals of the season helped the surging Broncos to a 5-2 win...

So John Tortorella is a winner already in the hearts and minds of
Ranger fans just 2 games into his Ranger coaching career. The question
now is how long before the Tortorella "Nuclear Detonation" happens? To
watch this "kind and gentler" Tortorella is amusing...

The current Rangers are not the only ones who now have to make an
impression on John Tortorella; the prospects also need to show the
coach about their desire to become a part of his teams. Give Tysen Dowzak some credit for stepping up and making the first statement about his desire...

First off got to start this off with some clearing of the air; I do not
dislike John Tortorella and I am not rooting for him to fail. What I am
is Anti-Sather and the nonsense that has been repeatedly been pulled on
Ranger fans during his era. To see him say that he is willing to...

The more that was said about why Tom Renney was fired the more I
realized that Ranger fans were being fed a giant line of garbage.
Expecting Glen Sather to accept full responsibility for his actions
would be asking for a miracle on the level of biblical proportions.

For the second day in a row, Ranger prospects had a quiet day on the
scoresheet which given the kind of numbers that have been put up this
season is on the rare side. For us it is nothing to be concerned about
right now as there are always going to be quiet times.

It is funny the 2008-09 season has given hope to the Ranger fans because of the play of the Ranger prospects except for some strange reason on Saturday nights. Saturday night for whatever reason has been the one night out of the week where prospect performances have been average at...

The Friday Night Ranger Prospect Report had a bit of everything from a 4 point night from Tomas Kundratek, one outstanding offensive play from Derek Stepan and a great defensive effort from Tysen Dowzak. If the Rangers can get these kinds of efforts then the future is going to be really bright.

This was supposed to be about the head to head matchup between 2 of the
top Ranger 2008 draft picks Michael Del Zotto (London) and Evgeny
Grachev (Brampton). However the talk was more about the bus accident
involving the Albany River Rats of the AHL. If you did not know,
