NEW YORK – I have been on the Rangers beat for five years now and for the last three, I had the pleasure of dealing with Chris Drury on a regular basis.
Now, Drury isn’t the best of quotes in the room, because he’s so reserved and many might say he can speak in clichés simply [...]

NEW YORK – There’s always one problem with the US Open, every single year.
After it’s over, you have to wait 50 more weeks to see some live tennis in New York City.
Of course, a true fan of the sport can travel across the country – or even the world – to see the best play, [...]

The waiting is over!
Finally after a day of waiting, Olli Jokinen and Brandon Prust are Rangers, while the team bids goodbuy to Ales Kotalik and Christopher Higgins.
No matter how Jokinen meshes with Marian Gaborik, this is simply a good trade for the Rangers. They gave up nothing, while getting the cap flexibility for next season [...]

Last year, some wondered what happened to Roger Federer, especially after he dropped the Australian Open to Rafael Nadal.
This year, though, there’s no doubt the master is on track.
“It’s not something I’ve ever put in my mind that this is something I want to achieve,” Federer said after defeating Andy Murray in straight sets, 6-3 [...]

After another successful Winter Classic, with the Bruins 2-1 overtime win over the Flyers, hockey fans are yearning for more. The outdoor game has proven to be a successful showcase for the sport, showing the nation why so many fans love the game, while converting a few new backers along the way.

NEW YORK – The way the Rangers mailed in their 6-0 loss to the Philadelphia Flyers, they owe all 18,200 fans a refund.
Take it out of each of their paychecks because a game like this is just unacceptable.
Sure, after the game, each Ranger was saying how their play was a disgrace, but the loyal Garden [...]

So the Bay-watch is now over and Jason Bay is on his way to the big ballyard next to Flushing Bay.
You have to give the Mets credit here. A reportedly four-year, $66 million deal give the Mets their left fielder for the next four seasons, while adding a big bat in the idle of the [...]

To sum up every Met fan’s thoughts: “What are you waiting for?”
We are on the verge of entering the second week of Bay-watch with Jason Bay still holding out for a fifth year, while catcher Bengie Molina looking for a third guaranteed season.
Do they deserve it? With Bay, maybe, but Molina, no way – two [...]

UNIONDALE, NY – Last night’s game was not Glen Sather’s swan song. No, he’s not going anywhere and at times you have to think the Pope has less job security.
Last night’s game against the Islanders was a call to arms for the Rangers. Are they are a team or are they just a collection of [...]

NEW YORK – Simple fact: Since the lockout, the Ranger were never under .500 this far into the season under Tom Renney.
Yet, in less than a year into the John Tortorella regime, the Rangers stand at 14-15-2.
Say what you want about the Rangers abrasive coach, but the fact is that record is not getting the [...]
