There is no doubt that the New York Rangers are rolling in every sense of the word right now. They are getting timely goal-scoring, playing more than solid defensively, and getting great goaltending from both Igor Shesterkin and Jonathan Quick. When you put all of these things together, it is very easy to see why […]

Quick Pitt Stop: Rangers Defeat Penguins 1-0 Behind Stout Effort By Jonathan Quick

Whenever you enter a hockey season, there are many variables. Hopefully, with a veteran team or core, you have a few certainties, those stalwarts or rocks you can always rely on.

What A Long, Strange Trip It’s Been: Rangers Push Road Winning Streak To Four With 4-3 OT Win Over Canucks

I won’t lie; this one is a little hard to recap. For most of the game, it was a structured slog by two defensively sound teams with solid netminders. Then all heck (this is a family site) broke loose. When the smoke cleared, the Rangers emerged with a 4-3 victory in OT over the Canucks, […]

NYR: Evaluating the Forward Line Combos

Since the last game of the pre-season, it’s been clear what lines Head Coach Peter Laviolette would be rolling with going into the regular season.

Kreider Off to Quick Start for Blueshirts

While the New York Rangers offense is still getting used to Peter Laviolette’s system and trying to find their offensive legs, one player seems to have already found the scoring touch. That would be veteran Chris Kreider. Kreider, 32, has four goals and one assist for five points in four games and already looks like […]

Penalty Declined: Igor Stops Penalty Shot, NYR Kill Two Minute 5-On-3 In Feisty 2-1 Win Over Arizona

While not at the level of their opening night win against the Sabres, the NY Rangers shook off a frustrating loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets to defeat the pesky Arizona Coyotes 2-1 in their home opener at Madison Square Garden. It was a deceptively wild game, so let’s get into what went right (best […]

Good Omens: NY Rangers Play Almost-Perfect Game, Beat Sabres 5-1 In Laviolette’s Debut

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.
