Now What?
blueseatblogs.com — Since last month’s 5-2 win of Phoenix, the Rangers are a very disappointing 3-7, dropping from very good 8-3-1 to a mediocre 11-10-1. This puts them tied for LAST place in the Atlantic. Let that one sink in for a while. Many are calling for Michal Rozsival to be sent to Hartford.  ... (more) Now What?
Game 22: Rangers vs Panthers
blueseatblogs.com — The Rangers are at it again, this time facing the Florida Panthers at the Garden. The Rangers need a couple of things: secondary scoring, protection of hit players, and, perhaps most important, a win. Good news for the Rangers: Panthers are one of the worst penalty killing teams in the league. ... (more) Game 22: Rangers vs Panthers
Kotalik On First Line
blueseatblogs.com — In another line change, the Rangers have moved Ales Kotalik to the first line. According to Steve Zipay, the move was made because Kotalik can control the puck better than Lisin. I like the move. Kotalik has been the third best offensive player, behind Gaborik and Prospal, and deserves a shot ... (more) Kotalik On First Line
Fixing the Defense
blueseatblogs.com — The defense of our beloved Rangers seems to be taking the biggest hit lately. Yes, they score, but they don’t play defense particularly well, and they definitely don’t hit anyone. The latter issue is tougher to address, as the current personnel doesn’t really have the banger ... (more) Fixing the Defense
Trade Rozsival? Waive Rozsival? Not Likely
blueseatblogs.com — Let’s preface this title by saying that Michal Rozsival has been atrocious this year. He is eating up cap space, and this signing is really hurting the Rangers. Larry Brooks has called out the Rangers to get rid of Rozsival at any cost: Rozsival is chewing up nearly $26,000 a day on his ... (more) Trade Rozsival? Waive Rozsival? Not Likely
Werek On A Tear
blueseatblogs.com — Ethan Werek, the Rangers 2nd round pick in 2009, is absolutely lighting it up in the OHL. In his past seven games, Werek has put up ridiculous numbers (7-4-11, +6). More and more, he is looking like the steal of the draft in 2009. Another steal so far? Ryan Bourque, who is putting those who ... (more) Werek On A Tear
Secondary Scoring?
blueseatblogs.com — It’s amazing the difference a year makes. Last year, the Rangers had some pretty decent secondary scoring, but no primary scoring. This year, it’s the polar opposite. The Rangers have plenty of primary scoring courtesy of Marian Gaborik , but the rest of the team seems to have ... (more) Secondary Scoring?
Call Ups? Not Until LTIR
blueseatblogs.com — After last nights bad loss to the Caps, it has been made quite obvious that the Rangers are incredibly thin without Brandon Dubinsky and Chris Drury. P.A. Parenteau has played decently in his time with the big club, but you can tell there’s just something missing from this team. Well, in ... (more) Call Ups? Not Until LTIR
Game 21: Rangers vs Caps
blueseatblogs.com — Our beloved Rangers take on the Washington Alexander’s Capitals tonight at the Garden. Game time is at 7, and is on Versus. Lundqvist is in goal and so is Simeon Varlamov. Jose Theodore has a personal matter to deal with. We wish him the best. Alex Ovechkin is expected to be back, but ... (more) Game 21: Rangers vs Caps
Rangers Won The Korpikoski-Lisin Trade
blueseatblogs.com — When the Rangers traded Lauri “Korpdeo” Korpikoski for Enver Lisin, I think a bunch of fans were shocked. First, who’s Enver Lisin? And second of all, Korpikoski was turning in to a solid player. Here was Dave’s reaction when the deal went down. I was not writing for ... (more) Rangers Won The Korpikoski-Lisin Trade
Higgins Should Stay At Center
blueseatblogs.com — With Drury and Dubinsky out for the near future, and no real viable center candidates in Hartford, or on the waiver wire (Joel Lundqvist anyone?) the Rangers have to start looking on their current roster for replacement. Chris Higgins, I thought, was spectacular defensively at center against ... (more) Higgins Should Stay At Center
Naslund Joins Forsberg in Modo
blueseatblogs.com — Ex-Ranger, and recently retired, Markus Naslund has decided to end his retirement and play with Peter Forsberg for Modo in the Swedish Elite League. Ready for the kicker? According to reports, Naslund and Forsberg have both turned down salaries with the team will play for free. Naslund ... (more) Naslund Joins Forsberg in Modo
Twenty Games In
blueseatblogs.com — With the Rangers 21st game tonight, the 2009-2010 season is a quarter of the way through. Overall, the Rangers have been rather inconsistent, but I’ll definitely take 11-8-1 heading into Game 21 tonight against Washington. This year’s squad was, for all intents and purposes, brand ...

Garrioch: Rangers Talking Kostitsyns?
blueseatblogs.com — According to Bruce “Malkin to the Kings” Garrioch, the Rangers are in talks with Montreal GM Bob Gainey for the Kostitsyn brothers (Andrei, Sergei): …the Rangers have had talks with the Canadiens over the Kostitsyn brothers as they could be without centers Chris Drury and ...

Fleury: NY Years a ‘Nightmare’
blueseatblogs.com — Recently retired and ex-Ranger Theo Fleury had one word to describe his time in New York from 1999-2002: Nightmare . Now, don’t think he’s just talking about his well-publicized nights of: all night drinking, doing cocaine, going “below the streets of New York City” to “party with ...

Game 20: Rangers at Senators
blueseatblogs.com — The Rangers look to get off the snide (again) this afternoon against the Senators. The last time the Rangers played the Sens, it started a seven game win streak that had many commentators pegging the Rangers as contenders. Since that seven game win streak, the Blueshirts are 4-6-1. The Rangers ... (more) Game 20: Rangers at Senators
Higgins at Center
blueseatblogs.com — Looks like P.A. Parenteau’s call up is having an effect on Chris Higgins as well. Higgins has been shifted to center , with Parenteau and Ales Kotalik flanking him. The fourth line of Aaron Voros-Brian Boyle-Donald Brashear has been reunited, and can expect five minutes of playing time a ... (more) Higgins at Center
Parenteau Called Up, Byers Sent Down
blueseatblogs.com — Considering last night’s abysmal performance, it is unsurprising that some roster moves were made . Dane Byers, who played just 5:47 last night for a shorthanded Rangers squad, was sent back to Hartford after the game, and P.A. Parenteau was called back up for the second time this season. ... (more) Parenteau Called Up, Byers Sent Down

NHL’s Suspension Flow Chart
blueseatblogs.com — Stick-tap to Joe Fortunato for finding this one. For those wondering, Down Goes Brown has discovered how the NHL rationalizes their suspensions . I laughed…out loud…at work. A few people stared. So, be careful. (more) NHL’s Suspension Flow Chart
