Although he may not want everyone knowing this, today our beloved Jim Schmiedeberg is celebrating his 40th birthday! Jim is the reason we have such a great community of hockey/Ranger fans here on Blueshirt Banter and is also the main man behind Blueshirt Banter Radio, which many of you

Over the past year, while establishing myself as a mainstream blogger, the only thing that has turned me off about what I do is the disrespect Bloggers are shown. I have seen it every now and then and it got to me a little bit. I am usually not one

Unfortunately some depressing news to report on the first day of August. Restricted free agent defenseman Marc Staal is not getting any closer to agreeing on terms with the New York Rangers, reports Andrew Gross of Ranger Rants. The 23-year-old has been unsigned for exactly a month now and is
