New York Rangers Analysis
All year I've been feeding you guys the shot ratio stuff in the sense that the team that gets more shots (regardless of misses or blocks, aka Corsi) will most likely win the game. Well to keep this short, the Rangers have been much better when out shooting

Brandon had a good idea here to break things up by focusing on some Ranger players before heading into playoffs. He gave me Brad Richards (and one more to come further down the road), and it includes good things too (not just the usual fancystat numbers). While I still think

I don't usually do polls on the site, but in celebration of a playoff berth and the potential of an Eastern Conference title, let's dance. Basically, after the jump I wanted to look at the East's playoff teams (and those that are still in

To take a break from the trade-deadline hoopla, I wanted to just touch on easily the best Ranger this season, Henrik Lundqvist. He's a Vezina candidate, and the likely favorite if the voting was for some reason to be this afternoon. But with my updates on the team

While we can come to some conclusions from the chart after the jump, this post is more informative than anything. With that said, I would like to preface that information with some quick thoughts regarding the statistics myself and George here have been advocating on the site. I got around

The New York Rangers season is seven games old, and yet somehow they have eight points from those seven games; a solid start considering all of them were on the road. The problem in my mind? They maybe deserved about two of those points over that stretch. I went in

When I heard through a friend that the Rangers had selected J.T. Miller at 15th overall on Friday night, I then hopped on the BlackBerry and went to his hockeydb.com profile to check out his numbers. I wasn't happy at the time, but with more research
