Rangers lose [insert witty title]

The Rangers have just three regulation wins in 17 games since the start of November with two goals or fewer in 12 of those 17 games. They have been shutout twice on home ice in the last three games and have only scored 2.33 goals per game, second-to-last in the NHL, better than only Tampa [...]

What the hell is going on?

Hello!  Yes I’m alive and so are Marc and Rory.  They say hi.
The Rangers are 17-8-2 right now which places them atop the Eastern conference.  But are they really as good as their record would suggest?
Some days I watch them play and I would argue that they are just as good, if not better than [...]

Game Preview: Rangers v. NJ Devils

As I mentioned in my very first post, I hate the New Jersey Devils.  And I hate Martin Brodeur.  Now, don’t start thinking that I’m dancing with joy that he’s hurt – I’m not.  One of the first rules of fandom is Thou Shalt Not Gloat for Karma Beist a Bitch.  So I wish him [...]

Postgame Thoughts: Rangers v. Douchelanders

Hello again, everyone. I know Eric and I are horrible at being consistent with this blog, but we’re doing our best. We are, after all, terribly disabled. What’s this crippling disability which afflicts us, you ask? We’re lazy.
Anyfart, last night’s Monday’s game against the Long Island Douchebags was mighty fun, was [...]

Blackhawks @ Rangers – Game Preview

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 [...]

I swear we’re still here!

It’s just that there’s been nothing to write about.
Okay, that’s a lie. There’s been lots to talk about. Here’s a quick update:

Gomez: still a Ranger.
Prucha: still a Ranger.
Shanahan: not a Ranger but was working out with the team. Still has no contract with the Rangers and training camp officially starts today.
Petr Nedved [...]

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 [...]

Rangers bruised and battered for must-win Game 4 tonight

As if coming back from 0-3 in the series wasn’t going to be hard enough, the Rangers are going to have to do with it without Sean Avery (lacerated spleen), Blair Betts (broken bone in face), and without a 100% Chris Drury (torso injury). Drury is probable but after watching him skate at half [...]

Throwing in the towel

I have to admit I completely underestimated the Penguins before this series. I look back at my series preview and I can’t believe I gave the edge to the Rangers offense. I let the flashy shot totals from the regular season get to my head. What I didn’t take into account was which team was [...]
