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.

A Win Is A Win: NY Rangers Beat Vancouver Canucks With A Lackluster 4-3 Victory

Well, they can’t all be Picassos. Coming off a scintillating game against the Calgary Flames, the NY Rangers put forth a lackluster performance that was just enough to beat the Vancouver Canucks 4-3.

Welcome Back! NY Rangers Defeat Calgary Flames in OT 5-4 In A Wild, Entertaining Game

Well, if you’re going to be in Rangers’ hockey withdrawal for that long, at least come back with a game of epic proportions! The NY Rangers defeated the Calgary Flames 5-4 in OT last night in a wild contest that arguably was one of the NHL’s best this season. Admittedly, I’m probably using this much […]

Rangers’ Defense is Offensive

In the NHL these days, offense comes from everywhere. Teams are not afraid to shoot the puck, both forwards and defense get in on the action, there are more power plays to create scoring opportunities, and the puck is going in the net at an extremely high rate this season. Gone are the days of […]

The Ugly Truth About Panarin and Trouba

I’ll need to start with a bit of an exhale here: I love Panarin as a player and a person, and I think Trouba is one of the best character guys the Rangers have had in the locker room for a long time. I have nothing but the utmost respect for what both of them […]
