New York Rangers

The New York Rangers were down to former captain and hero Mark Messier, former Buffalo Sabres head coach Lindy Ruff and former Vancouver Canucks bench boss Alain Vigneault to be the next head man on Broadway.  Team president and general manager Glen Sather eventually decided on Vigneault...

Let's hope the NHL Stanley Cup final starts out better then the NBA finals. The potential is certainly there. Game 1 starts in mere moments. I will take the Blackhawks to take home the cup for the 2nd time in 4 years, in 6 games. The big key is simple when you look at the makeup of each team, and factor in the main weakness's...

After 5 years and much success, then recent failure and unmet expectations, the NY Rangers have fired head coach John Tortorella this afternoon. Tortorella took over for Tom Renny late in 2009 and got the Rangers to the playoffs. they missed the post season the following season but then made the post season the last 3 years of Tortorella's reign...

A season that has to qualify as a disappointment ended in the Boston TD Garden, as the Bruins wore out the Rangers, and dusted off the Blueshirts 3-1 in game 5 of the eastern conference semi finals. The Bruins now move on to play Pittsburgh while the Rangers move to chalkboard for a plan to move forward...

I will probably live to regret this piece later on but putting my superstition aside the numbers say the Rangers have a good chance to keep their season alive and get out of Boston Saturday with a win. The Rangers, if nothing else, and there is plenty of reasons, have proven resilient in win or go home games...

It is win or go home time for the NY rangers Tonight at Madison Square Garden. It is the 3rd time this post season the Rangers have faced this predicament. However this 1 will be a bit different. The Rangers will go without assistant captain Brad Richards...

The Rangers were a dangerous team heading into the playoffs.  Star goalie, Rick Nash's supposed Broadway playoff hunger, depth, last year's experience of losing in the conference finals, the magic of Madison Square Garden.  Oops. The Rangers are done...

I have watched Ranger hockey a long time. What took place Tuesday night at Madison Square Garden will easily rank as 1 of the most disappointing  nights in this fans memory. Forget any of the stats, that being shots on goal, hits, anything...

So here we go again. For the 2nd straight playoff series the New York Rangers have dropped the 1st games on the road. It happened against Washington in round 1 and after the Bruins beat down the Rangers 5-2 Sunday at the Boston Garden the Rangers find themselves in a 2-0 hole...

Waaaaaah. that's the gurgling sound coming from Washington. The poor little Caps still crying about the officiating in game 6 of their 7 game loss to the New York Rangers in the eastern conference 1st round. The Caps blew a 3-2 lead in the series and for the 5th time in 7 attempts they lost a 7th game of a series at home...

The Rangers bested the Capitals in seven games in Round 1 of hockey's playoffs.  Now, it is off to Boston for a series with the Bruins, one that should be physical and competitive and could go seven games.  How far can the Rangers go this Spring...

The Rangers and Bruins both won Game 7's in Round 1 of the Stanley Cup Playoffs.  New York, in less dramatic fashion, dominated Washington 5-0 to win the only road game of the series.  Boston, down 4-1 to Toronto, rallied back with three goals in less than 11 minutes, two of which came in the final minutes with a pulled goalie, and won in overtime 5-4.  Now the Rangers and Bruins, these two Origin
