October 31, 2009 | Posted by Leslie Treff Both the Rangers and the Wolf Pack lost badly last night. Hartford was walloped by Hershey 6-0, and rightly or wrongly, the poor play on the ice caused a flurry of transactions this morning. I personally don’t think that Miika Wiikman and Ryan Hillier deserved to be sent back to Charlotte today, but down they [...]

October 28, 2009 | Posted by Leslie Treff Late yesterday afternoon, the Rangers recalled PA Parenteau to the NHL team. The call-up was almost certainly because the status of Marian Gaborik is in doubt for tonight’s game, but it may be just the chance that Parenteau needs to make the jump to the NHL. If he is on the ice tonight against the [...]

October 27, 2009 | Posted by Leslie Treff Fewer transactions are expected this week than last, after the Pack won two games in three this past weekend. It is the beginning of the season, so the standings are not that important (the Pack are seventh of eight teams). What is important is how the team has started to come together, and how they [...]

October 25, 2009 | Posted by Leslie Treff Just a quick note that my Rangers prospect organizational analysis is posted on the Hockey’s Future site. Strengths are at left wing, center, and defense; the system weakness is on right wing. While there are no stellar netminding prospects, either of Scott Stajcer or Chad Johnson could be future NHL netminders. Check out the analysis [...]

October 23, 2009 | Posted by Leslie Treff After the Hartford Wolf Pack’s two horrible games last weekend, it was clear something needed to be done. As I said after Friday night’s game in Portland, the Pack looked lost out on the ice. Things were slightly better on Saturday, in Miika Wiikman’s 2009-10 AHL debut between the pipes. But the close 2-1 loss [...]

October 21, 2009 | Posted by Leslie Treff Around the NCAA–On Saturday, I updated you on the play of Derek Stepan and Ryan McDonagh in their first game of the season. The Badgers second game of the weekend, which resulted in a 1-1 tie with Colorado College, did not change any of those observations. Sunday afternoon, Chris Kreider played in his first NCAA [...]

October 17, 2009 | Posted by Leslie Treff The Wisconsin Badgers played their first game of the season last night, and the Hartford Wolf Pack played their fifth. Both have some of the Rangers’ top prospects on their respective teams, and I had the opportunity to watch them play on video. I say this because, as all who read this blog know, I [...]

October 15, 2009 | Posted by Leslie Treff It seems that running Henrik Lundqvist is the new pastime among hockey teams in the United States and Canada. Five times in two games this week, Lundqvist has been knocked into his own goal. Each time, he looks stunned, and has gotten right back up and continued to play. Granted two or three times the [...]

October 12, 2009 | Posted by Leslie Treff After focusing on the Hartford Wolf Pack prospects for the last couple of weeks, tonight I went to watch the NHL contest between the Rangers and Anaheim Ducks. The Rangers defeated the Ducks by the score of 3-0 on special teams goals by Ales Kotalik, Artem Anisimov and Dan Girardi. It was the Blueshirts’ fourth [...]

October 11, 2009 | Posted by Leslie Treff Before I get to the Pack, I wanted just to apologize for my scarcity this past 10 days. Apparently this hit in the head I received in Traverse City had some lingering effects, so I had to take a medical leave. In any case, my seems on straight now, so I am back to blogging [...]
