Well, that was fun! It’s a good thing, too, as Rangers fans were already in mid-season form with concern based on a lackluster preseason.

The House That Kevyn Built: The New Age Sabres

It’s June 2020, and the Sabres have truly hit rock bottom. They are a terrible bottom feeding team, just like the last decade. The only bright spot on the team, star center Jack Eichel, wants out.

A Big Opportunity Awaits Rangers’ Kakko

There was a lot of negative attention placed on New York Rangers forward Alexis Lafreniere during the preseason, and with good reason. Lafreniere, 21, was given top six minutes throughout the exhibition season and did not show enough progress, hustle, offense, or good play to warrant more playing time with the team’s top guys.

The Case For Zach Benson To Play On Opening Night

Back in a prior article, I talked about the Sabres’ prospect challenge. Among other things, the pairing of Zach Benson and Matt Savoie was a main focus. The pair lit up juniors, and I fully expected them to put on a show. Even though Savoie was injured in the challenge’s final game, he dominated every […]
