An Interview with a Rangers Blogger

Good afternoon folks. Over at Kukla’s Korner, I was lucky enough to do an e-mail interview with Eddie “The Mouth” of Ranger Crisis and Blueshirt Banter radio.
Here is a brief excerpt:
It wasn’t until April of last year that I decided to return to reporting about my favorite subject, New York Rangers Hockey. I decided to [...]

Big Trip Ahead

Good evening folks. Long time, no blog.
I figured that for this post, I would link to a blog I wrote on Kukla’s Korner today:
With the New York Rangers getting ready to travel to Western Canada this week, it’ll be nice for them to do so on a positive note as the team came up with [...]

Pat LaFontaine: Still Active in a Big Way

As most of you knowledgeable New York Ranger and hockey fans know, Pat LaFontaine is a former center in the NHL who played his entire career for all three New York State-based teams: the New York Islanders (1983–1991), Buffalo Sabres (1991–1997), and New York Rangers (1997–98). In 1998, after 15 years in the NHL, LaFontaine [...]

It’s Henrik’s Time

A few weeks ao, I did a guest post on the Rangers Report blog that took a look at how Henrik Lundqvist’s career is shaping compared to Mike Richter.
Here is a sample of what I wrote:
Since the offseason began, it seems that New York Rangers pundits and fans alike have focused on the following topics [...]

Drury and Tortorella Forming Important Bond

From Jim Cerny at NewYorkRangers.com:
So when the off-season arrived, Tortorella knew it was important for him to reach out to key players on the roster and begin fostering deeper relationships. He began by contacting team captain Chris Drury on a regular basis this summer.
“I wanted to get to know him, and I wanted him to [...]

For The Rangers to Be Successful…

Good morning folks! Long time, no blogging. I hope everyone had a tremendous summer and is now primed and ready for hockey season, and more importantly, the 2009-2010 edition of the the New York Rangers.
To get started, I wanted to point out a guest blog I contributed to PuckCentral.net that talked about the team’s keys to [...]

Interesting Comment over on My KK Blog

Earlier today, I posted the Rangers‘ announcement regarding the signing of depth forward Tyler Arnason and this is what one fan commented with:
Just so Rangers fans understand…you don’t build a team by signing every single big name player you can find/afford and slap him into a long term contract.  Sather is trying to “acquire depth”. [...]

Talking Zubov

As mentioned earlier on this blog, Rangers‘ General Manager Glen Sather may be interested in bringing back Sergei Zubov to help bolster the club’s woeful power play.
Certainly, this would be a significant upgrade over Wade Redden and Michal Rozsival but what do you folks think?

Buzz: Rangers Like Koivu?

The Fourth Period — which is hit or miss, speculates the Rangers and Devils have made multi-year offers to UFA center Saku Koivu.  Koivu was rumored to be close to signing with the Wild a few days back, but nothing was made official.
Monzo: I think for a short-term top center, as previously mentioned, Koivu would [...]

Hoffman’s Take on July 1

From Patrick Hoffman of SNYRangersBlog.com and Kukla’s Korner:
If I had to grade New York Rangers General Manager Glen Sather on yesterday’s performance on the first day of free-agency, I would have to give him an incomplete. Yes, he signed two players and yes, one of them has a lot of potential to succeed on Broadway [...]
