NEW YORK -Though their surnames are representative of two countries, the sweaters of Marian Gaborik and Henrik Lundqvist are each adorned with the very same diagonal logo.
R-A-N-G-E-R-S.
Thus, before the Winter Olympics interrupt yet another NHL regular season and separate any number of teammates for a solid two weeks, this logo remains the one constant for [...]

NEW YORK – Take a deep breath Ranger fans, Marian Gaborik looks like he will be fine.
After leaving the ice midway through the third period, the Rangers’ franchise scorer said, “it’s nothing.” And the injury was not related to his hip or groin that plagued him in the past.
Although he didn’t know when he would [...]

So this is what the Rangers were missing the last few seasons.
It was supposed to be Jaromir Jagr, but he was never the same after his shoulder was dislocated in the 2006 playoffs. And Scott Gomez never clicked with anyone he played with on his line.
Chris Drury was supposed to be clutch, but the drain [...]

As off-season’s go, Glen Sather really hasn’t had a good one since the lockout.
You might remember that one when the Ranger’s GM scrambled to fill his team with Czechs, just to keep Jaromir Jagr, his one superstar, happy. That worked with the Rangers making the playoffs for the first time in seven years.
But since then…Uggh.
The [...]

In the first move in what looks like to be a busy offseason, the Rangers traded center Scott Gomez, forward Tom Pyatt, and defenseman Mike Busto to the Montreal Canadiens for forward Chris Higgins and defensemen Ryan McDonagh and Pavel Valentenko.
In moving Gomez, the Rangers clear major space on the salary cap since he is [...]

The move everyone expected the Rangers to make has been made today as the team claimed left wing Sean Avery on re-entry waivers from the Dallas Stars.
“We feel, especially in the division, we need a little more jam on our team,” coach John Tortorella said to reporters in Greenburgh. “Hopefully he can kick in a [...]

NEW YORK – John Tortorella didn’t come in with some magic goal scoring serum. And the last time we checked, there haven’t been any miracles to his credit.
Tortorella is just a hockey coach – a good one – but not someone who can turn around the Rangers over night.
Because of that the first two game [...]

On breakup day, after the Rangers were eliminated by the Buffalo Sabres  in 2007, Tom Renney addressed the media. Right after he was finished, I handed him the newest issue of New York Sportscene with an article I wrote on the coach.
Usually when you hand sports figures press on themselves, they take it, thank you, [...]

The Tom Renney watch has ended, as general manager Glen Sather let go the Blueshirts embattled coach today, along with assistant Perry Pearn.
No word as of yet, who step in behind the bench, but according to multiple sources it will probably be former Tampa coach John Tortorella, with Sather trying to hammer out a deal [...]

If Michel Therrien can get fired, so can Tom Renney.
This is just the way the sports business goes these days as Therrien took the fall for the struggling Pittsburgh Penguins, after leading his team to the Stanley Cup finals last season.
“I owe it to the franchise and the organization to take the steps necessary that [...]
