Two Good: NY Rangers Weekend Wrap-Up

Welcome to the Rangers weekend wrap-up. Due to the quick back-to-back nature of the games, rather than going through them piece by piece, we’re going to highlight the overall good and bad of what transpired. So let’s break down the good (Hats on Bread), the bad (scary endings), and everything in between (another tough back-to-back […]

Stars Bounce Back With 6-3 Win Over Rangers

The Dallas Stars looked to bounce back on Monday against the New York Rangers, and they did. The Stars defeated the Rangers 6-3 at the American Airlines Center. The Stars’ starting lineup was tweaked as it featured Jani Hakanpää, Wyatt Johnston, Jason Robertson, Evgenii Dadonov, Esa Lindell, and Scott Wedgewood. Wedgewood made 30 saves for […]

Spin City! Rangers Ride Panarin, Vesey’s Backhanded Go-Ahead Goal To Beat Devils 5-3.

I firmly believe that a team can never truly get any sense of payback or “revenge” for a playoff loss in the regular season. That being said, Rangers-Devils is an intense division rivalry that will see these two teams battling for playoff standing all year in the Metro. In that regard, the Rangers came out […]

Gustafsson Off to Great Start for the Blueshirts

Since Chris Drury became the New York Rangers general manager, he has made a few underrated moves that have helped his hockey club. Two examples were ones that he made over the summer. The first was when he signed goaltender Jonathan Quick to a one-year deal worth $925,000. As of this writing (Wednesday night, November […]

Is the Age of Enforcing Over? Enter Andreas Englund

The Kings, like all NHL organizations, have respected and understood the role of an enforcer. Whether it was Dave “Tiger” Williams, Dave “The Hammer” Shultz, Marty McSorley, Kevin Westgarth, Kurtis MacDermid, or Brenan Lemieux, the Kings have employed a physical body that isn’t afraid to drop the gloves in the defense of teammates. The game […]

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 […]

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 […]

NYR Analysis: Rangers “Toon”ing Up For Stretch Run

It took the Rangers turning into cartoons to finally get a regulation win they could feel halfway decent about. Preceding that were losses to Ottawa and Boston, a shootout win over Montreal, an OT win over Buffalo, and a pivotal OT loss to the Penguins. Needless to say, it’s been an erratic stretch here as […]

Rangers’ Defense Must Tighten Up in Front of Shesterkin Moving Forward

When it comes to the New York Rangers, there is no doubt that they are one of the league’s hottest teams right now. As of this writing (Friday, February 17), the team has won six straight games, has earned points in eight-straight games (7-0-1), and dating back to November 30, they have points in 26 […]
