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 [...]

NEW YORK – You didn’t think the Rangers were going to go 81-1? And John Tortorella was warning everyone about it the last few games.
Yes all good things must come to an end and the Rangers seven game winning streak crashed down with a penalty filled 7-3 defeat to the San Jose Sharks.
“We were just [...]

NEW YORK – It’s been a very long time since the Rangers crashed the nets like the did last night. And it’s been a very long time since they have been so well conditioned that they dominated the third period.
The Toronto Maple Leafs didn’t know what hit them.
So much so that the Blueshirts [...]

When Brendan Shanahan first broke into the National Hockey League with the New Jersey Devils in 1987, he probably didn’t expect to still be skating around and putting pucks in the net.

Led by Chris Drury’s two goals, and another great effort by Henrik Lundqvist, the Blueshirts downed the Canadiens 3-1 at Madison Square Garden.
With the win, the Rangers now have 91 points the eighth spot in the playoffs all to [...]

NEW YORK – In football, it’s called a trap game – a match where a team overlooks its inferior opponent.
Yet, when it comes to the Minnesota Wild, it’s always a trap game, as Jacques Lemaire’s system slows down the attacking opponents almost to a crawl.
In the end though, the Blueshirts didn’t get trapped, coming out [...]

Sometimes, you run on empty. That’s precisely what happened to the Rangers and myself a little earlier following a disappointing 3-0 shutout loss to suddenly fire storming hot Carolina.
Something had to give as both Eastern foes entered riding three-game win streaks. Unfortunately, it was the Hurricanes who were a little more focused and better disciplined [...]

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 [...]
