October 31, 2011 | Posted by Leslie Treff On paper, the Rangers looked like a rejuvenated team on Saturday afternoon, scoring four unanswered goals against the Ottawa Senators, taking advantage of all the breaks they were given in the second and third periods of the game, before giving up three straight in ten minutes and losing to the Sens 5-4 in a shootout. [...]

October 28, 2011 | Posted by Leslie Treff After a very long season-opening road trip, the Rangers came home last night to a partially renovated Madison Square Garden and a very excited fan base. By the time the players were introduced, John Amirante sang the national anthems, and the puck was dropped, everything was at a fevered pitch. But by the third period, [...]

October 25, 2011 | Posted by Leslie Treff Last night, the Rangers defeated the Winnipeg Jets (still getting used to saying that) by the score of 2-1. After a scoreless first period and an exchange of goals in the second (Ruslan Fedotenko and Nik Antropov), it was Ryan Callahan who got the game winner on a power play deflection at 8:41 of the [...]

October 23, 2011 | Posted by Leslie Treff Even before last night’s 2-0 loss to the Edmonton Oilers, there were questions about the Rangers’ identity. Temporarily sidetracked by two wins this week, the question reared its ugly head again last night, as New York looked pretty lost on the ice against Edmonton. If not for Henrik Lundqvist, who in my mind is the [...]

October 22, 2011 | Posted by Leslie Treff The Connecticut Whale were heavily outshot tonight by the Springfield Falcons, and for about 70 minutes all the play was pretty much in the Whale zone, but at the final buzzer the score was 2-1 Whale, so the ride home tonight is a happy one for the Connecticut team. There were many mistakes, particularly by [...]

October 21, 2011 | Posted by Leslie Treff Mats Zuccarello led the charge for the Connecticut Whale tonight, scoring 2 goals and one assist in the Whale’s 5-0 win over the Manchester Monarchs. Zuccarello, playing on the top line with Carl Hagelin and John Mitchell, was all over the ice, showing speed, excellent instincts, and great passing ability. Every Connecticut player benefited from [...]

October 21, 2011 | Posted by Leslie Treff The Rangers have turned things around on their Western Canada swing. Before this week’s games in Vancouver and Calgary, New York was 0-1-2, and not looking very good on the ice. If not for Henrik Lundqvist’s sparkling play during the first three games, the Rangers would have had no points going into the Western Canada [...]

October 17, 2011 | Posted by Leslie Treff Late Saturday night, Kris Newbury was called up to the Rangers and Mats Zuccarello was reassigned to the Connecticut Whale. According to the Rangers, the reason for Zucarello’s demotion was to get him playing time, as he was averaging only 8:25 per game in New York’s three contests, and Newbury certainly earned the promotion, but [...]

October 16, 2011 | Posted by Leslie Treff Kris Newbury is not about to save the floundering Blueshirts’ offense, but after being a one-man scoring machine in Connecticut (posting a point on all but one of the Whale’s nine goals this season), Newbury earned a call-up and will get the chance to show his stuff in the NHL on the Rangers’ upcoming Western [...]

October 14, 2011 | Posted by Leslie Treff The Connecticut Whale made the trip to Albany tonight, and although they started the game very well, the tide turned in the second period, and the Whale eventually lost 3-2 in a shootout. It was only the third game of the season, but its not too soon to make some observations. First, Kris Newbury, who [...]
