If the world learned anything about the Rangers in this playoff season, it’s that they are mercurial. Some nights they tick like a Swiss clock, while others they seem to have met for the first time moments before puck drop. We saw that inconsistency in the players, as well.

I did not enjoy this. In the first game against Montreal, which now feels like a billion years ago, the Rangers looked like they woke up one day and decided they maybe wanted to win that Stanley Cup thing they’ve heard so much about. Friday, in Game 2, they

The NHL playoffs coincide nicely with the end of the spring semester, giving me two reasons to tear out my hair and wonder why no one has learned anything. For their last essay of the year, my students research a controversy; instead of simply picking a side, they ask bigger

First of all, let’s just get this out of the way. I get PTSD every time the Rangers play in Los Angeles. — TheNYRBlog (@kevindelury) March 26, 2017 All of it. The Staples Center. The players’ names. And the turnovers. The many, many defensive zone turnovers. Other than the turnovers,

That’s TWO too many men penalties. TWO. And not just near the bench, either: six Rangers out there doing their thing (which is clearly not counting) until the ref was like, “Dude,” and the second time was like, “DUDE.” What? Haven’t you ever heard of in medias res?
Well, we’re in a different place than we thought we’d be on Tuesday night, when the Blue Jackets were still streaking strong and the Rangers had just played one of their worst games of the season against Buffalo. Since then, the Blueshirts beat the Flyers in front of

The Blueshirts bounced back from their excruciating loss to Buffalo with a nifty 5-2 win over the Flyers in Philly. Henrik Lundqvist loves him some Wells Fargo Center. The King made 30 saves, including spectacular shutdowns of Wayne Simmonds and Brayden Schenn, declawing the Crab People for another day. He

Monday afternoon at Lasker Rink in Central Park, Dunkin Donuts announced a new partnership with the NHL. Dunkin will now be the official coffee (and donut and breakfast sandwich) of both the NHL and the NWHL, and Rangers captain Ryan McDonagh will be one of their spokespeople, along with David

Are the Rangers able to play more than one decent period of hockey this week? Tune in and see at 1 pm, when they host the Canes at home. Try to forget the cringe-inducing performances from basically everyone on Thursday, because here’s what we have to look forward to:

With all the talk about the Rangers’ high-scoring rookie forwards this season, we have yet to give a whole post worth of love to that other semi-new kid. Brady Skjei recently tied Brian Leetch’s six-game point streak from 88-89 and he’s leading NHL rookies in assists. Skjei has

Dominic Moore’s report card is tricky, because he has a problem not usually encountered in academic situations. Imagine you’re a solid student who studies hard – grinding, I think they used to call it? You’re not going to win the MacArthur genius grant anytime soon, but you’re
2016 Report Cards
There shouldn’t be any suspense about this. If the Rangers were actually a class of, say, 8th graders, Henrik Lundqvist’s marks would allow him to skip high school, head straight to college, graduate in one year, and get a job as King. So here we are. The Numbers:
