Rangers know they can’t keep getting away with turnovers: ‘No. 1 culprit’
The Rangers' 15 goals, which started 2-0-1, were the most through three games since they scored the most on a 3-0-0 road trip in the 1983-84 season. Not only that, but 11 of the club's goals have been scored at 5-on-5. But the Blueshirts are creating too many chances, especially too many Grade A chances. […]
Igor Shesterkin’s nightly brilliance now comes with a nagging Rangers question
Immediately after Monday's loss to the Rangers, Derek Lalonde continued to praise Igor Shesterkin throughout a press conference with Red Wings branding in the background. “A very, very special goalkeeper.” 4-1 difference in the game. And the Detroit head coach, who watched a lot of elite goaltending from Andrei Vasilevskiy as a Lightning assistant, offered […]
I don’t get why the Rangers keep benching Matt Rempe
I'm looking at head coach Peter Laviolette's lineup card for Monday's game against the Red Wings at the Garden, but in a meeting where robots and a line of Transformers toys are being discussed, I'm watching 12-year-old Josh – Became Baskin. I don't understand. I don't understand. Why did big Matt Lempe, who was hurt […]
Rangers’ Adam Edstrom got into first fight of hockey career
Adam Edstrom had never actually dropped the gloves and fought someone in his entire hockey career until Saturday night at Madison Square Garden. The 6-foot-7 rookie was caught in a scuffle in front of the net with less than two minutes of ice time logged in the Rangers' 6-5 overtime loss to Utah. From a […]
Rangers’ offensive firepower, defensive vulnerability emerging early
Both sides of the Rangers overall were on display through the first two games of the 2024-25 season. The team that defeated the lowly Penguins club also forced the up-and-coming Utah team to strengthen its defense. The Rangers scored 11 points in six periods, but gave up five in 60 minutes (four of them in […]
Rangers undone by questionable goalie interference penalties
The exact definition of goaltender interference in the NHL is still unclear. On Saturday night, not only did the Rangers find themselves in a bind in terms of officiating in their home opener, which they lost 6-5 in overtime, but the club also faced not one, but two cases of questionable goalkeeper interference. He charged […]
Rangers fall in overtime in high-scoring shootout loss to Utah
The Rangers were usually the pawns of chaos last season, but on Saturday night, it was the Utah Hockey Club that thrived in the chaos. Clayton Keller scores with less than a minute left in overtime and the Blueshirts lose 6-5 to Utah in their home opener Saturday night at Madison Square Garden. The chance […]
Revamped Rangers blue line could be start of something new
Over the past four seasons starting in 2020-21, only four of the NHL's defense pairings have been on the ice for at least 3,600 minutes at 5-on-5, two of them with the Rangers, who are the subject of a stability study. I am doing it. In the backend. Since K'Andre Miller left Wisconsin and turned […]
Team USA’s roster must include Rangers’ Chris Kreider
You make a list and check it twice, but if you don't have Chris Kreider on Team USA for the Four Nations (which most people don't), what the heck are you saying? Is it? Of course, the only list that matters is the one handed out by Team USA (and Minnesota) GM Billy Guerin. He […]
