I hope all is well with everyone here and that you haven't missed me too much. It's great to see Scott Gallof doing such a wonderful job covering the Blueshirts and I wish him nothing but continued success in that role. I am writing to you all because I miss blogging for HockeyBuzz. Things haven't exactly worked out at The Hockey News as Thu, 13 Dec 2007 21:52:33 -0500"HockeyBuzz" http://www.hockeybuzz.com/blog.php?post_id=10306 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 York Rangers head coach Tom Renney spent the last four days juggling his lines, trying to find the Thu, 18 Oct 2007 10:03:05 -0400"Thrashers" "Rangers" "Marek Malik" http://www.hockeybuzz.com/blog.php?post_id=10219 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. This is starting to become the team’s theme thus far in the early part of the season.

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 goaltenders Olaf Kolzig and Brent Johnson, factors that enabled the Caps to get off to such a good Fri, 12 Oct 2007 09:09:20 -0400"Rangers" "Capitals" http://www.hockeybuzz.com/blog.php?post_id=10118 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. The Rangers fired 37 shots on Islanders' netminder Rick DiPietro but this just happened to be one Thu, 11 Oct 2007 08:39:14 -0400"Rangers" http://www.hockeybuzz.com/blog.php?post_id=10076 Update: Please check out the blog Islanders Blogger B.D.

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 What do you folks think?

I am sure that there will be more to report tomorrow but one has to wonder if Nigel Dawes will get called up. What do you folks think?

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 of sync.

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 goal by defenseman Michal Rozsival, they appeared to be out of sync. The team missed passes, har Fri, 05 Oct 2007 00:07:12 -0400"Rangers"
