A portion of the Rangers lost to the Philadelphia Flyers last night, by the score of 5-3. I say a portion, because most of the big Rangers’ guns were sitting in the press box, relaxing and waiting for last night’s plane to Europe. The defense was out there, but only a small group of the [...]

Yesterday the Rangers reassigned 28 players, including 21 to the AHL Connecticut Whale and seven to their CHL teams. Most of these were expected, but there were a couple of surprises. First, that Pavel Valentenko was sent down to the AHL. Its a surprise because he has to pass through waivers to get reassigned. In [...]

The Rangers had a familiar problem tonight, creating offense, and it wound up costing them a 2-1 overtime loss against the Devils in Albany. To be fair, the Rangers top line was not in Albany. Nor were Derek Stepan or Ryan Callahan. And it did seem that New York’s brass wanted to look at some [...]

Over the last few days, John Tortorella has had to answer many questions regarding the state of the defense and particularly the health of Marc Staal. Staal has been suffering from headaches this summer (and possibly last spring) as the result of the hit his brother Eric put on him in a game against Carolina [...]

This morning, yesterday’s two winning teams faced off against each other, and once again, the weaker team, on paper at least, was the victor. The White team defeated the Red 3-2. That means that the team with fewer NHL regulars defeated the one with a top line of Wojtek Wolski, Brad Richards, and Marian Gaborik. [...]

The rest of the Rangers in camp (except Marc Staal, Michael Sauer and Brandon Prust) were on the ice this afternoon for the second scrimmage. The White team, quite unexpectedly, won the game 4-2. With six regulars on Blue, it was thought that Blue would dominate, but Henrik Lundqvist, White’s goalie for the entire scrimmage, [...]
