In his "Rangers Report" blog, Sam Weinman bought up the interesting topic of what to do with forward Nigel Dawes. After a weekend in which he had three assists on Friday night against the New York Islanders (5-2 victory) and a goal on Saturday night against the Philadelphia Flyers (3-2 victory),...
According to Sam Weinman of The Journal News, Nigel Dawes, Artem Anisimov and Al Montoya were sent down to the Hartford Wolf Pack. So, what does this mean? Well for one thing, it means that as of right now, both Marc Staal and Brandon Dubinsky have opening night roster spots. Marc Staal had a so...
When NHL players first began wearing jerseys, which was during the 1917-1918 season, the home team would always wear dark. This standard would continue all the way until the 1970, when the league mandated that the home team wear their white jerseys. However, the new “white” standard changed...

With the team being cut to 23 players, the Rangers’ roster appears to be set for opening night and for at least the first 10 games of the season. However, one question that still remains is: What lines will head coach Tom Renney implement? At the beginning of training camp, the word around Ra...
On this, the opening night of the 2007-08 National Hockey League season, I just wanted to wish everyone's team best of luck this year. Yes, there are going to be days/nights where we insult each other's teams, bring up bad memories regarding a foe's team and we may even get into a shouting match...
Tonight, Madison Square Garden welcomes back their New York Rangers to kickoff their 2007-08 NHL regular season against the Florida Panthers. The game also marks the Ranger debut of two NHL stars in Chris Drury and Scott Gomez as well as the NHL debut of Marc Staal. For these players, playing in...
For the first time, instead of haunting the Blueshirts, Ranger newcomer Chris Drury helped the Rangers to a 5-2 victory with a goal (game winner) and two assists. For most of the game, the Rangers were rather quiet. After they once again scored on the first shot of their season, this time on a g...
Sorry for reporting so late as I just got back from a very long day in Rhode Island (Holy Cross football game) and then had to come back to play hockey. As a result, I barely got to watch any of the Rangers game. I do know that they lost 2-0 and in the parts I did watch, they seemed somewhat out...
As reported by Sam Weinman of The Journal News, Sean Avery will be out for four weeks with a shoulder separation suffered against the Ottaw Senators last night when he was hit by Chris Neil. I am sure that there will be more to report tomorrow but one has to wonder if Nigel Dawes will get called...
It appears as if Marcel Hossa will step into Sean Avery's spot in the lineup for now. The question is what exactly does this do to the lines? I think Renney could go with something like this: Hossa-Drury-Jagr Straka-Gomez-Shanahan Callahan-Dubinsky/Betts-Prucha Orr-Betts/Dubinsky/Hollweg...
Update: Please check out the blog Islanders Blogger B.D. Gallof and I did which is now on the main page - BATTLE OF NY! ******************************************************************* As most Ranger and Islander fans know, the teams will meet tonight at Nassau Coliseum to kick off their r...
Alright folks, let's not panic just yet. Yes, the Rangers were beaten by the Islanders last night 2-1 and yes, the team's offense seems to be one step behind but there were a few positives in this game: - The team had plenty of shots last night so it's not like they went silently into the night...
Tonight, the Rangers (1-2) look to get back on track and score some goals as they take on the Washington Capitals (3-0) at Madison Square Garden. What used to be a somewhat easy team when it came to scoring goals against, the Capitals have improved their defense and have gotten splendid play from...
The New York Rangers were two different teams this weekend as one team went out, cashed in on their power play chances and played tight defense while the other team came out flat, had a brain cramp for 52 seconds which lead to three goals against and were generally out of sync for much of the game....
Update: According to John Dellapina of the New York Daily News, Marek Malik will be a healthy scratch tonight. Head coach Tom Renney has elected to go with Thomas Pock instead. ******************************************************************* After starting off the season by going 2-3, New...
