Alexei Cherepanov is dead at 19

The Rangers 2007 first round draft pick died today near the end of Omsk’s KHL game. He and Jaromir Jagr collided right before the incident.
From Puck Daddy:
According to comments on SportBox.ru it was [Jaromir] Jagr’s elbow. Jagr is Cherepanov’s teammate. Apparently Jagr didn’t see him. Afterwards Jagr was shouting “Wake up Alexei” and was [...]

Game Preview: Rangers at Philadelpha Flyers

Aside from trading R.J. Umberger to Columbus and Sami Kapanen retiring, not very much went on with the Flyers this offseason.  Yes, last season they shot from the league basement to the Conference Finals, but they still got thrashed by our back-up goalie whenever we played them.   Stevie V posted a 3-0-1 record against [...]

My Name a Borat, I New in Town…

Is this introduction and season preview horribly late? Yes. Is this probably not going to be published until after the season technically begins? Yes. But do you care all that much? Probably not. If you’re that pissed, blame Eric.
Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Rory, and I’m an angry, sarcastic, die-hard, 3rd-generation Ranger [...]

Unnamed Rangers Goalie Roams NYC

Long time reader and friend Melanie snapped this picture near Washington Square Park this afternoon.  It looks like they are recording more stuff with that guy that works at the hotel and got free tickets a couple seasons ago for wearing that stuff for a whole day.  Or something like that.  Anyway, check it out:

Gomez trade in the works?

I was over at Puck Daddy where they are having a live chat.  I posed a question about something I read about last night while watching the Mets lose their 7 run lead.  It turns out that there are rumors swirling around that the Rangers are shopping Scott Gomez in order to make room for [...]

Is it hockey season yet?

Man I’m bored.  Aside from Brendan Shanahan still wanting to be a Ranger and Mats Sundin not being sure of anything, there is absolutely nothing going on.
To pass the time, why not check out some of the links on the right side of the page?  I’ve even sorted them into three different categories for you [...]
