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 [...]

October 8, 2011 | Posted by Leslie Treff The Rangers opened their season yesterday, losing to the Los Angeles Kings 3-2 in OT. The best part of the game for the Rangers was Ryan Callahan’s 11 shots and his first period goal.

October 6, 2011 | Posted by Leslie Treff First, there was spate of players on waivers, the reassignment of Tim Erixon to Connecticut, then Erixon’s recall, and today, there is the claim of Jeff Woywitka off the waiver wire. This has certainly been a whirlwind week for Rangers’ transactions. With Avery reassigned to the Connecticut Whale, the Rangers cleared more than $1.9 million [...]

October 4, 2011 | Posted by Leslie Treff At noon today, two things happened that affected the Rangers. First, it was announced that Dale Weise, who was reassigned to the AHL on Saturday, but had to pass through waivers to get there, was claimed by the Vancouver Canucks. To be honest, I was somewhat surprised that he was reassigned to Connecticut last weekend. [...]

October 1, 2011 | Posted by Leslie Treff This morning the Rangers announced what is (almost) their last roster cut. Although there were a couple of surprises, and probably none of those that were cut are happy on their way home, there was a chance that had the bulk of them not been sent to Connecticut, the Whale might have gone winless this [...]

September 28, 2011 | Posted by Leslie Treff Yesterday, Hockey’s Future published the Fall Top 20 of Rangers’ prospects (find it here: http://www.hockeysfuture.com/articles/13249/erixon_and_miller_join_a_talented_group_of_prospects_for_the_new_york_rangers/), and I noticed that there has been very little discussion of it.

September 27, 2011 | Posted by Leslie Treff 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 [...]

September 25, 2011 | Posted by Leslie Treff 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 [...]
