According to Andrew Gross of The Bergin Record , the season is not quite over for a few Rangers. Brandon Dubinsky, Matt Gilroy, Artem Anisimov, and possibly Marc Staal are all expected to play in next month’s World Championships in Germany. Dubinsky and Gilroy are going to play for Team USA, Anisimov is on the preliminary roster for Team Russia, and Staal is expected, but has yet to be, named on ...

Although our primary function here at Broadway Hockey Daily is covering the New York Rangers, there is still plenty of hockey to be played this season. Unfortunately, the Blueshirts won’t be part of the post-season fun this time around, but that doesn’t mean we can’t be. With the playoffs set to begin tonight, it seems like the perfect time to preview the opening round playoff series and make some playoff ...

One of the better free agent signings from a year ago happened was when the Rangers picked Vinny Prospal on a one-year $1.1 million deal off the scrap heap after the Tampa Lightning bought him out. He had a very strong season and would have had an even better one if not for some mid-season arthroscopic surgery. At this point the Rangers need some work, just how much work ...

The Rangers' season was a disappointment, especially after last year’s team made the playoffs with Scott Gomez at the helm offensively. With Marian Gaborik at the helm this year, they were supposed to be better, not worse. There is plenty of blame being thrown around. Most fans have directed their venom at general manager Glen Sather or head coach John Tortorella. Tortorella is passing the blame on to Gaborik and the rest of ...

According to Michael Obernauer of the NY Daily News , Ranger fans upset with head coach John Tortorella should not expect a change as the team currently has no plans to replace the surly coach. Here is what Obernauer had to say: The Rangers’ season crash-landed in a 2-1 shootout loss to the Flyers on Sunday with James Dolan in Philadelphia to watch it all go down. After a stop ...

Michael Farber of Sports Illustrated had the task of handing out the end-of-the-year awards for the NHL, and, along with Marian Gaborik being named to their all-star team, Michael Del Zotto was listed on their all-rookie team. Del Zotto was a really pleasant surprise on Broadway this year. He was not supposed to make the team this season, but he played so well in preseason games that the Rangers couldn’t ignore ...

Tonight, Ranger fans get one last shot to cheer on their team for the next couple of months, as the NHL conducts the annual Entry Draft Lottery. It can be seen live on Versus at 8 p.m. Eastern. The Rangers, who finished with the 10th-worst record in the league, have a chance to move up to the sixth pick if they can win tonight’s drawing. Unfortunately, with a measly 2.1 percent ...

Surely, most New York Rangers fans can vividly recall the excitement surrounding the team last summer. Not only was Glen Sather able to cleverly unload the bloated contract of Scott Gomez (thanks again, Bob Gainey), but they were also able to sign a bona fide superstar offensive player in Marian Gaborik. It seemed, to the untrained eye at least, that things were finally starting to change for the better at Madison ...

Now that the Rangers season is over the next thing they have to deal with is their free agents. So here are a couple of lists. The first one is unrestricted free agents who are free to sign with any team in the NHL. The second list is restricted free agents. These are players that the Rangers have exclusive rights to sign although they can lose these players if other teams ...

None of the beat writers would dare say this because, well, John Tortorella would challenge them to a fight, but I’m going to say it: John Tortorella is a baby and I question his ability to ever handle a coaching job in New York. No, he’s not the major problem with this team, but Tortorella decided to take a coaching job in New York, probably the city with the ...
