The Rangers recovered from a sluggish 1st period to fight off a feisty, albeit mathematically-challenged Boston team, pulling it out in overtime, 3-2. Henrik Lundqvist had a great night, making 33 saves on 35 shots and keeping the ice even for the tired Blueshirts, who were coming off 4 games

The Blueshirts head to Montreal tonight to face the Habs, who are 2-7-1 to the Rangers’ 3-6-2. Carey Price has been struggling; he has an .866 Sv% to Henrik Lundqvist’s .900. But that doesn’t matter, because Alain Vigneault has decided to “ride the hot hand” straight to hell

With the exception of Brandon Crawley’s goal, Saturday’s game against the Devils somehow managed to be both boring and horrifying at the same time. Let’s hope that tonight is a return to the fun stuff we saw previously, like maybe another one of the kiddos gets a

On January 4, 2016, Alain Vigneault told the press: “We need Hank to re-become the Hank that he’s used to, for us, and from there, I think everything else should fall into place.” What? That’s what we said. In Vigneault’s defense, Lundqvist was coming off a disastrous

Clearly we're not going in chronological order. But that's kind of fun, right? No? Too bad. Perhaps the most surprising thing about Henrik Lundqvist hurling his net was that it didn't happen sooner. (Second most surprising? He didn't aim it at Dan
2017 Report Cards
Who? Sigh. Where did it all go wrong? Coming out of preseason, Clendening was poised to be a major possession-driving defenseman. He played well while Dan Girardi nursed an injury and Nick Holden struggled (a nice way of saying "got deked out of his socks") ... but then when
2017 Report Cards
Brad Shakes. Baby Skjei. Whatever you call him, the young defender playing his first full NHL season was the brightest spot on a blue line plagued by inconsistency, incompetence, and the inexplicable whims of Alain Vigneault. Regular followers of the blog and the podcast enjoyed watching Joe go from lamenting

So, some stuff happened yesterday. Discount Kevin Shattenkirk! And we got this guy. But not these guys. And lost this guy (not that he was ever really here). We may have this guy? I’m not sure; I was at the beach yesterday but Joe made me do this. We
2017 Report Cards
What are you doing to me, Rick Nash? I come here to sing your praises and lift you up where you belong (or at least higher than the C you got last year), and what do I find? Going by basic stats alone, dude, in some ways, you look worse.
2017 Report Cards
We have four years’ worth of report cards for Chris Kreider, so let’s do something a little different. Let’s imagine that we’re a college admissions committee, reviewing his record to see what sort of student we have on our hands. 2016: “6'3, 225 lbs, speed

This afternoon, Larry Brooks dropped a bomb on restless Rangers fans with the news that Kevin Klein is unlikely to return to MSG for the 2017-18 season. Nothing is official, but according to Brooks’ sources, goodbyes were said at a party this past weekend. All that remains is confirmation of
