The Rangers' 4-2 win over the Chicago Blackhawks had everything, it just didn't feel like it. There were the six goals, there were hits, there were a few big saves, there were two fights (proving me wrong) ... but very little flow, to the point of seeming lackluster at points. But it's a win ...

The Rangers may already be two games into their 2008-09 campaign but, let's face it, Friday night's game against Chicago is the real start to the season. Coming in with two wins ensures the Blueshirts will get a warm reception but who knows how long that will last? Here are some thoughts ...

Now Sam over at Rangers Report has been
staying on top of the Brendan Shanahan situation and
giving update after update but the bottom line is that a day before the season starts, we still don't know what the future holds for a certain Brendan ...

As I already did Four-casts for every team,
I figured I would add a one-stop shop of
predictions - the main purpose of which is to see how entirely wrong I always am at the start of a season. I've already made some changes from my four-casts, so I ...

While they aren't the Bulldogs, the Syracuse Crunch will honour Paul Newman by retiring Reg Dunlop's Chiefs jersey this weekend . It is a wonderful gesture (and a guaranteed sell-out) and every hockey team should do the same as Slap Shot 's impact was universal. Dunlop, you don't stink!

I am speechless.
Four games on the old continent, four wins. And two of them actually meant something! The last one came today in a tightly contested 2-1 battle where the Rangers hammered the Lightning with 39 shots and only scored on set plays. There is happiness for Ranger fans worldwide but it should be ...

I know it's just exhibition, but congratulations go out to former Ranger Jason Studwick for having a helluva game for Edmonton tonight . Struds was always a class act for the Blueshirts who did anything and everything that was asked of him. It is nice that the Oilers are giving him a real shot ...

Just a few things before game-time: *Holding the viewing party at an Astoria beer garden was a great move by the Rangers yesterday, even if I went the wrong way and ended up in Brooklyn first. It was a fun atmosphere packed with fans having a good time. Too bad the team didn't do anything for ...

After mistakenly ending up in Brooklyn rather than Queens this morning, I missed the beginning of the Rangers' season opener. I arrived at the beer garden just in time to catch the first goal (I am good luck) and caught the rest of the 2-1 win from there but I waited to write this until I ...

After more than 16 hours traveling yesterday, I am back in the ole U.S. of A. It feels weird to tell you the truth, and it didn't help that I came home, dropped off my luggage and went over to a friend's house for a late fantasy draft. When I hit the wall, I hit it hard but I am starting to ...

9:10 pm, October 2nd, 2008 As I get
my luggage repacked for my morning flight out of
Switzerland, I figured I would throw out some last thoughts on the experience, international hockey and the Rangers: *It doesn't matter that it was an exhibition ...
12:10 am, October 2nd, 2008 I am still a little exasperated from the game but figured I just had to get this down while it was still fresh, so here are my observations from the Rangers incredible come-from-behind 4-3 victory at the inaugural Victoria Cup: *My earlier enthusiasm still has yet ...

There will be a more detailed post later,
but right now I just can't articulate how great
I feel. We won, we won, we won, we won, we won. I flew all the f--k way to Switzerland and we won. Was it a exhibition game? Yes. Was it against a team we will ...
11:39 am, Wednesday, October 1st I woke up late this morning and rushed through breakfast to get to the rink on time, where the cleanup from last night continued. I, of course, got there on time and the Rangers went on the ice 20 minutes late ... typical luck, right? This morning skate was ...

8:58 pm, September 30th, 2008 Wow, where to
begin?? Let's get the usual out of the way
first. The Rangers sucked. They were terrible; they fumbled the puck, they blew scoring opportunities, they had bad defensive lapses and if they played an NHL ...
