As Zibanejad Goes So, Do the Rangers

The New York Rangers head into the season with a lot of skilled players. We are talking about players like Artemi Panarin, Chris Kreider, Adam Fox, Filip Chytil, Kaapo Kakko, Alexis Lafreniere, K’Andre Miller, and so on and so forth. Heck, even guys like Vincent Trocheck and Blake Wheeler play with their own blend of […]

Opinion: Chytil Is Going to Have a Big Year for the Blueshirts

Going into this season for the New York Rangers, a lot of attention is being put on both Alexis Lafreniere and Kaapo Kakko. Since being drafted at #1 overall in 2020 and #2 overall in 2019, respectively, both the franchise and their fans have been waiting for them to bust out and play to their […]

The Proof Will Have to Be in the Pudding for the Blueshirts

The Metropolitan Division is going to be one to be reckoned with this upcoming season. The Carolina Hurricanes, last year’s division winners, are always a great team, even though they have struggled in the Stanley Cup playoffs. They are strong at all three positions and have one of the best coaches in the league in […]

New York Rangers and Alexis Lafreniere Agree On Extension

The New York Rangers and Alexis Lafreniere have finally come to an agreement as Lafreniere signed a two-year deal worth $4.65 million with an AAV of $2.325 per. As the off-season is coming to a close, there was a lot of talk about whether the Rangers would sign Lafreniere or if his time in New […]

What Is Taking So Long With Lafreniere’s Contract?

I think it’s safe to say no one envisioned it taking this long. If you were to tell me in June that not only would K’Andre Miller be signed before Lafreniere, but he still wouldn’t be signed mid-August, I’d probably come back to you now asking for the lotto numbers. Well, here we are; Lafreniere […]

Amidst a Disappointing Series, Kakko Showed His Compete Level

In the first-round series against the New Jersey Devils, the majority of the New York Rangers, aside from Igor Shesterkin, looked as if they hadn’t a care in the world whether they lost or won. Despite this disappointing showing, at least a couple of players looked like they came to compete. Amongst them was 22-year-old […]

Lafreniere Disappointing on Broadway with the Blueshirts

When the New York Rangers won the NHL Draft Lottery in 2020, the franchise and its fans were ecstatic. The consensus number one overall pick was Alexis Lafreniere, who the Rangers went ahead and took with that pick. At that time, Lafreniere appeared to be a player with unlimited potential. From the 2017-18 season through […]

What Now for the New York Rangers?

The New York Ranger’s 2022-23 season came to a disappointing end Monday night. They lost 4-0 in Game 7 to the New Jersey Devils and failed to follow up last season’s Eastern Conference Finals appearance with any similar type of playoff success. The first-round defeat stings even more, knowing that General Manager Chris Drury loaded […]

Special Ks! Kreider and Kane Fuel Another Dominant 5-1 Victory Over NJ Devils in Game Two

When you combined this Rangers roster coming off last year’s deep playoff run with the additions of Tarasenko and Kane, the trajectory for this team looked off the charts. However, the term “on paper” only goes so far; the real question is how it would look on the ice, especially against a Devils team whose […]
