Boston Bruins

Bruins-Penguins had the most intrigue of any Stanley Cup playoff series for the simple reason that the two teams play completely different styles.  Boston plays tough and with depth and scores big goals at big times.  Pittsburgh scores all the time and flies up and down the ice, the total finesse team that relies on superstar players.

Let's be honest for a minute - it is no big secret to fans of 104.5 "The Team" that Bruce Jacobs is one of the biggest die-hard fans of the New York Rangers in the entire Capital Region. With the pompous attitude he brings with every victory and borderline depression he carries with every loss, the host of "Game On" every weekday afternoon from 4-7 p.m. is very open about his l

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...

Goaltending-depth-star scoring-special teams.  Those are the four keys to a Stanley Cup run.  The Rangers certainly have the first one, even if Henrik Lundqvist had a bad Game 2 against the Bruins.  Other than the goalie though, the Blueshirts are in trouble.

It was some weekend in sports.  The Knicks are dead and so is the Triple Crown in horse racing.  Hockey's Rangers are in trouble and there is a new winner on the PGA Tour.  Let's take a look at the Top 5 weekend performers in sports.

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...

Another exciting sports weekend is ahead with expected drama and highlights.  Orb goes for stage two of the Triple Crown.  NBA and NHL playoff games.  The Yankees welcome the Blue Jays to the Bronx.    Plus a little NASCAR.  What sporting event are you most looking forward to watching this weekend...

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...

Mike Lindsley talked with ESPN NHL analyst and insider Barry Melrose about the upcoming series between the Rangers and Bruins, the Game 7's those two teams battled through in Round 1 and other upcoming series.  Hear it here:

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...
