Maybe the defense was asleep. Maybe the refs forgot the rules of hockey. Maybe Christian Backman got 10 penalty minutes (6 officially but it was him that made Cole’s face bleed, not Marc Staal. See second “maybe.”).
But does that really matter? Henrik played pretty well and Malik of all people had [...]

After a three day break, the Rangers get back to work tonight in Carolina. The Hurricanes are playing pretty well going 7-2-1 in their last 10 and 3-1-1 in their last 5.
Two of the four newest Rangers will be in the lineup tonight. Fredrik Sjostrom will take Colton Orr’s (chest pain) place on [...]

Check out this 2005 battle between Colton Orr and Josh Gratton from when they were both in the AHL. Maybe this will be how they decide who gets the roster spot on the Rangers.
Rangers @ Hurricanes Preview coming in a few!

Lundqvist, Backman, Sjostrom, oh my!
Or as Jagr joked, “Swedes everywhere.” As the Rangers get ready for their first game without Malik Jagr Mara Prucha Hossa, we find out that two of the recent acquisitions may very well be playing tomorrow in Carolina. According to Sam Weinman at Rangers Report, Christian Backman skated with [...]
A few thoughts on the Rangers deals

I don’t have much to say about the Rangers trade deadline moves, but here’s what I got.
The 2 names the Rangers picked up that might have an impact in the NHL this year are Fredrik Sjostrom and Josh Gratton.
The word on 24-year-old Sjostrom is that he’s a solid defensive Right Wing. I suppose that [...]
Trade Deadline – Biggest Winner, Biggest Loser
Posted in NHL, tagged canadiens, Capitals, Cristobal, Crosby, Dupuis, Evgeni, Gill, Hal, Hossa, Huet, jagr, jaromir, Jordan, Malkin, Malone, Marian, Montreal, Pascal, Penguins, Pittsburgh, Sidney, Staal, Washington on Wednesday, February 27, 2008 | 1 Comment »
Pittsburgh = Scary
Not only do they get Marian Hossa and Pascal Dupuis to plug into their already dangerous offense, they go out and get Hal Gill to solidify their D. Uh oh. Now they’ve got a line with Crosby and Hossa, a line with Malkin and Malone, and they’ve got Jordan Staal [...]
Forsberg’s Flip-Flopping Soap Opera Ends with Avalanche

According to ESPN.com, Forsberg agreed to a $5 million, one-year deal Monday with the Colorado Avalanche. The deal is prorated over the rest of the NHL season for about $1 million

How did I miss this?
Posted in New York Rangers, tagged Avery, Gordie Howe, Gordie Howe Hat Trick, Hat Trick, Sean, Sean Avery on Monday, February 25, 2008 | 1 Comment »
In the Buffalo game, Sean Avery accomplished one my favorite hockey feats: a Gordie Howe Hat Trick.
With a few seconds left in the first period, he fought Patrick Katela. Then, halfway through the 2nd period, he had an assist on Michael Rozsival’s game-tying-goal. And, of course, Avery scored the game-winner late in the 3rd.
Nice job!
Rangers Dominate in 5-0 win against Florida

The Rangers are looking good.
How about Marek Malik? I didn’t hear anyone at the Garden booing the much-maligned defenseman after he scored a goal and an assist. He received a loud ovation when he was announced as the second star of the game in what might have been his Rangers curtain-call. Hey [...]
Rangers vs. Panthers – Game Preview
Posted in Game Previews, New York Rangers, tagged Florida, game, New York Rangers, Panthers, preview on Sunday, February 24, 2008 | 1 Comment »
UPDATE: Paul Mara and Colton Orr were both injured in last night’s game against the Sabres and will not play tonight. They have been replaced by Jason Strudwick and Marcel Hossa. Hossa will play on the 4th line with Betts and Hollweg. Strudwick will most likely skate with Marc Staal.
