It All Started With A Timeout
blueseatblogs.com — The Rangers came out flat tonight. Two goals in the first ten minutes by Columbus. So what does John Tortorella do? He calls a timeout. How do the Rangers respond? 7 straight goals. It’s not often that a timeout will work this well. It will probably never work this well. But for this ... (more) It All Started With A Timeout
Game 23: Rangers vs Blue Jackets
blueseatblogs.com — Welcome to the first edition of “Rangers Need A Win”. Feel like we’ll be seeing a lot of these. (Note: I’m changing the style of the game thread. If you hate it, just tell me). OPPONENT: Blue Jackets. RECORD: 12-6-3 LEADING SCORER: Rick Nash, who has 25 points. 14 ... (more) Game 23: Rangers vs Blue Jackets
Open Letter for Bettman to Resign
blueseatblogs.com — Jim Boone, co-founder of the NHL Fan Association, has written an open letter to Gary Bettman, via The Hockey News , asking him to retire resign. I ask that you resign before January 1, 2010. If you are still in office in the new year, I will organize the 30,000 members of NHL Fans’ ... (more) Open Letter for Bettman to Resign
Canadian Juniors Update
blueseatblogs.com — Leslie Treff, the main source for anything and everything to do with the Rangers prospects ( blog here ), has a very nice update on all the Rangers prospects currently playing in the Canadian Juniors. Treff does a fantastic job of getting information on the Rangers prospects. The two prospects ... (more) Canadian Juniors Update
Center Roullette
blueseatblogs.com — John Tortorella, in his never ending quest to find another center in-house, is trying Ryan Callahan in that role tonight. Moving up to the first line is Chris Higgins to play LW with Vinny Prospal and Marian Gaborik. With the top-nine remaining consistent (sort of), the rest of the lineup:  ... (more) Center Roullette
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 ...
