Rangers’ Quick Struggling to Find Game in Preseason

When you are a goaltender playing in preseason, all you want to do is feel the puck and get your game where it needs to be to have success in the regular season.

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.

Rangers and Gallant Agree to Part Ways

What a strange two years this has been for the New York Rangers. Last year, the team came within two wins of reaching the Stanley Cup Final for the first time since 2014. This was after a regular season in which they were the seventh-best team in the league, thanks to a 52-24-6 record and […]

The Rangers Did This to Themselves

It was not supposed to end this way for the New York Rangers. After adding Patrick Kane to an already loaded offense, the Blueshirts and their fans were dreaming of winning the Stanley Cup, and rightfully so. Sure, it would take some work to make it happen, but after what they accomplished in last year’s […]
