There is controversy brewing over the Penguins’ game winning goal scored by Sidney Crosby in overtime last night. The big question is whether Crosby made contact with the puck above or below the crossbar. The goal was reviewed and it stood. So what’s the problem? The call on the ice was goal. The replay did [...]

Yes, we made picks yesterday and no, we didn’t post them. We’re sorry. But just to show our dedication to this, I am revealing to everyone that Marc and I both picked the Habs as our gimmies last night. The Habs lost. To the Lightning. That’s right, the Lightning.
Last night, I went 5-3 and dropped [...]
Postgame Thoughts – Rangers v. Dallas (a.k.a. The Sean Avery Show)

(Yes, this is late. Midterms. Suck it.)
Really? – The Dallas Stars? – They’re 1-3-1, and we can’t beat them? Seriously?
I’ll be quite honest, I was looking forward to this game since this season’s schedule came out. Actually, I look forward to The Lundqvist Bowl every year (more on that later), but this year [...]

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 [...]
The Sean Avery era on Broadway is at an end

The Sean Avery era in New York is officially at an end.
Avery signed a 4-year deal worth $15.5-million with the Dallas Stars. If you’re keeping score at home, the Rangers let Avery go over a difference of a few hundred grand per year. For a team that has no problem throwing ridiculous money around (e.g. “making it [...]

The Rangers and Sean Avery are still negotiating, but it doesn’t look good. John Dellapina reports that the Rangers are ready to let Avery go to free agency. Those of you who have read this blog in the past know where we stand on Avery. If you don’t know, read The Case for Avery. If [...]

On the ice: Expect the same lineup in Game 5 that we saw in Game 4. Sam Weinman reports that Jason Strudwick is likely to play in place of Christian Backman again.
Off the ice: Sean Avery is still in the hospital, but was moved out of the ICU this morning. That’s good news for [...]

The Rangers had a team meeting yesterday followed by an optional skate, but only Jaromir Jagr and Marek Malik took the ice.
Evgeni Malkin’s dirty plays (he slew-footed Mara twice!) towards the end of the game seem to be a non-issue for the Rangers and for the league. NHL Director of Hockey Operations Colin Campbell [...]

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 [...]
