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 [...]

NEW YORK – Believe it not Ranger fans, no matter how bad your team has played over the first half of the season, there’s eight other Eastern squads that have played worse.
And you know what eighth place means – playoffs.
“Yeah you win a few games during the week,” said Christopher Higgins, “and you move up [...]

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 [...]

NEW YORK – Maybe it was the Christmas spirit coming through, but more than likely, it the four-game winning streak which put John Tortorella in such a jovial mood.
Whatever it is, though, this is a different man than the one who lashed into his team last week for lack of hustle against the New York [...]

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 [...]

NEW YORK – What kind of team is the New York Rangers? That’s the question everyone is asking, especially after another home loss – this time 3-1 to the Detroit Red Wings.
The Blueshirts played hard last night, especially in the third period, but John Tortorella’s crew just couldn’t score on the power play, as they [...]

NEW YORK – Yes, your eyes are not deceiving you, the Rangers scored seven goals in tonight’s game.
And before you ask, Marian Gaborik only had two.
The Rangers finally broke out of the scoring drought with a 7-4 win over the Columbus Blue Jackets. Goal after goal, the team looked sharp, which is precisely the team [...]

UNIONDALE, NY – The sheepish grin on Henrik Lundqvist’s face told the story. Thankfully only his pride was hurt his car accident on the Saw Mill Parkway yesterday.
He practiced and will be in goal tonight as the Rangers take on the Islanders at Nassau Coliseum.
“It was only me and I’m fine,” he said with a [...]

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 [...]
