You’ve heard all of the complaints:
The Rangers can’t score!
They have so much talent (allegedly) but their offense is stagnant and their power play is putrid.
They are a team of second-fiddles being paid first-fiddle money.
And the retorts?
Renney is a defense-first coach.
This team will win with solid goaltending and solid defense.
Drury and Gomez might not score 25 [...]

It’s that time of the season again. Yes, the annual trading frenzy as fading teams try to get something worthwhile for their unrestricted free agents. The NHL trade deadline is March 4. Take a look at this list of the top 50 UFA’s from the 8 worst teams in the league. I like the Maple [...]

In this edition of 5-hole.com Pick ‘em, we feature our first ever dueling gimmies. That’s right… I picked the Devils and made them my gimmie, while Eric picked the Blue Jackets as his gimmie. (Note to MSG Plus: we expect a commission for bumping up the ratings for tonight’s game).
In other news, this woman decided [...]

At least that’s what Bob McCown of The Fan 590 – Toronto’s Sports Radio – is reporting. Here’s the direct quote from their Twitter: “Bob McCown reports a source close to Mats Sundin says he will sign with the New York Rangers any day now.”
And Sam Weinman is reporting that the Rangers have [...]

The Rangers freed up some room on their cap by waiving Rissmiller. (Ideally for the Rangers, nobody else will claim him, and he will end up in Hartford for the season.)
I don’t know about everyone else, but I’d much rather see Brendan Shanahan skating along side Drury and Naslund than a constantly rotating winger group [...]

OK they lost. It was bound to happen eventually. Let’s just move on and see if they can rebound from such a terrible outing.
There are a few roster changes to note:
Stephen Valiquette will get the start tonight to give Henrik Lundqvist a break for tomorrow’s game in Detroit.
Lauri Korpikoski will be scratched with an arm [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

I guess you could call this a Season Preview but we’ll just call it the Game Preview. Also, today is my birthday!
Back on October 5, 2005, the New York Rangers played a game for the first time in over a year. The NHL was finally back after a lock-out that led to the [...]

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 [...]
