The other day Henrik Lundqvist won the Ranger’s team MVP award , but you don’t need an award to tell you just how valuable he is to this Rangers team. All you had to do was to watch tonight’s 2-1 loss to the Philadelphia Flyers. Watching tonight’s game the Rangers were pathetic offensively, but still held their to the very last second thanks to the heroics of their goalie Lundqvist. Is ...

The Rangers couldn’t muster enough offense to put the Flyers away in regulation, and they couldn’t get enough to win the shootout their season came down to either. After three periods and an overtime, the Rangers and Flyers sat tied at 1-1, so they took things to a shootout. Henrik Lundqvist allowed a pair of goals from Daniel Briere and Claude Giroux, and that was enough to put the Rangers away, ...

  When you’re a blogger and you call a defenseman one of the best defensively in the league, we get what happened last night. In the opening minute of the game, Rangers defenseman Marc Staal coughed up the puck and the Flyers took a 1-0 lead just 40 seconds into the game last night. Fortunately for the Rangers they turned it around, dominated the first period and played good enough in the second ...

I’d argue that the Rangers really couldn’t give a damn about their fans, but we’ll leave that debate for another day. Instead let’s take a look at a New York Times article that investigates what’s at stake financially if the Rangers lose one of the next two games and miss the playoffs. The following quotes are from this NY Times article . State of the Rangers: "Madison Square Garden Inc., which owns the ...

Not only did the Sabres hurt the Rangers the other day by beating them 5-2 , but they also hurt them last night when they beat the Boston Bruins 3-1. That’s because the Bruins were just one point ahead of the Rangers in the standings, but now they’re three. To make things worse consider this: Sabres goalie Ryan Miller, started the other night and played brilliantly, as he held the ...

Over the past couple of years the Rangers have been slightly disappointing. It always seems like the talent is there, but they consistently fail to play up to their talent level. One of the few players who has been consistently good is defenseman Marc Staal . Maybe he’s not quite the offensive wizard many fans have missed since Brian Leetch was prematurely ripped away from us, but game in and game ...

According to Steve Zipay of Newsday, Rangers head coach John Tortorella said it was doubtful that forward Sean Avery would play in the team’s final two games against the Flyers, and it is unclear if Avery could even play if they made the playoffs. Avery has been out for nearly two weeks now after he injured his knee in a game against the Maple Leafs. He underwent a treatment of platelet-rich ...

“We wanted to make the Philly games count.” Those were the words from head coach John Tortorella after last night’s 5-1 victory over the Toronto Maple Leafs. 24 hours after being schooled at the hands of a strong Buffalo Sabres team, the New York Rangers faced an opponent more their speed. The result was another facade-inducing victory, much like the five-goal “explosions” against the New York Islanders and the Tampa Bay ...

According to Andrew Gross of the Bergin Record, Rangers forward Brian Boyle , who has been out with a left ankle injury since March 21st, is close to returning and could play as soon as tonight. The problem is that the Rangers almost seem better off without him. The issue is that Boyle has played most of his minutes on the Ranger’s fourth line. Since he’s been absent the line has been ...

There is not much good you can say about last night’s 5-2 loss against the Buffalo Sabres. The Rangers needed the win to keep up with the Flyers, who beat the Maple Leafs last night, but the Rangers couldn’t keep up against the first good team they faced in at least two weeks. Things looked good for the Blueshirts going into the night. They got forward Ryan Callahan back and despite ...
