The New York Rangers may or may not be done for the night, but in all likelihood, we will have to wait until tomorrow before we see any more moves. Today was an exciting day for free agency. It was not as hectic as in years past, but controlled. It seemed that early on, announcements of signings were coming at a nice even pace. That made ...

This may seem like an odd and random topic to start writing about, but given the fact that the New York Rangers and Phoenix Coyotes have made several trades with each other since the lockout, I thought it's appropriate since there are sure to be transactions coming up this week that may or may not involve the two parties dealing with each other. One of these ...

These last two days have been a whirlwind of confusion and anger for New York Rangers fans. First, it saw the team draft Dylan McIlrath in the first round when Cam Fowler and Vladimir Tarasenko were still on the board. Then it saw the team, yesterday, deal 2006 first-round pick Bobby Sanguinetti to the Carolina Hurricanes. In regards to their draft choice, let’s just be real here—fans ...

With top-five ranked defenseman Cam Fowler still on the board and top-ten Brandon Gormley, the Rangers chose to go past them and take fifteenth-ranked physical defenseman Dylan McIlrath. This move came as a complete shock, especially with two great defenseman available and goaltender Jack Campbell, whom analyst Russ Cohen suggested the Rangers draft. Needless to say, I was disappointed at the pick. Personally, I wanted Tarasenko, but ...

This afternoon the New Jersey Devils acquired former Stanley Cup hero Jason Arnott from the Nashville Predators in exchange for Dave Halischuk and a second round pick in 2011. This move will prove to be both good and bad for the Devils. Devils fans will never forget the Cup-clinching, double overtime goal Arnott scored in 2000, and within two seasons of that monumental event he was traded ...

All throughout my time covering hockey, I have raved about the book 100 Ranger Greats and interviewed its authors. Right now, you have a chance to own this book if you do not already have it. Today begins FNYTSF’s first ever hockey trivia challenge! This book is a spectacular mix of statistics, stories, and Ranger folklore and is a must-read for any Ranger fan. It is also selling on ...

Hockey analyst and Sportsology creator Russ Cohen is now the person I have interviewed more than any other, with this being the 4th time. Cohen has always been kind enough to answer all of my questions, and we decided to do another interview to explore the upcoming 2010 NHL Entry Draft on June 25. Cohen is also allowing me to run a hockey trivia challenge that starts ...

Amidst a day where New York Rangers fans around the world will be celebrating the 16th anniversary of the famous drought ending championship of 1994, I offer no joy to you today. I have already seen it on Facebook and around the Rangers blogosphere, but how can anyone really be happy about it? Sure it was an incredible moment in the franchise’s history, perhaps the single greatest shining moment this team, ...

With the departures of Ales Kotalik and Chris Higgins prior to the deadline last season, and the assumed departure of Olli Jokinen this summer, the Rangers are going to have quite a bit of spending money to help improve the team that had one of the league’s least potent offenses. The Rangers will, without a doubt, bring back Marc Staal and Dan Girardi, and after they lock them ...
