New York Rangers Analysis
Nice little bounce-back win in San Jose after losing to a very home-ice loving Anaheim club on Wednesday. The lineup for this week; Islanders, Canadiens, and then an NBC affair in Pittsburgh where no calls will go against the home team, ever. Off the cuff, anything less than two points

So Tuesday's loss to the Sabres was a tough one, no doubt about it. Every game this time of year is a big one, the funny part to me is they are worth exactly the same as the games in October; when no one is pulling a Jim

Welcome to Wojtek Wolski day here at Blueshirt Banter. We know what was traded away today, and if you want to help (or console - try not to laugh) Coyotes fans over at Fiveforhowling.com (SB Nation Coyotes), be my guest. But as for right now, let's focus

A quiet but pleasant surprise for the Rangers thus far this season has been Brian Boyle; who after 35 games played has 12 goals and 17 points all-while being plus 10 as well. Many wondered how this Rangers roster would handle the long-term injuries of Drury and Prospal, and I

As promised, here is Part II of my projections for each Ranger this season. This part will take a look at the other forwards not listed in Part I, and may end up including some forwards who do not play with the Rangers for a full season. Nonetheless, I cannot

With the pre-season schedule in full swing allowing to roster to slowly take shape, I figured I could unveil my pre-season project; points predictions for each Ranger. I discovered point projection techniques about two years ago via the always amazing behindthenet.com (a must-read SB Nation side if you like

Over the past year, I played a good amount of NHL 10 - not as much as I used to in high school as I became a little busier at college, but still a good amount. The online play was solid, per usual, and we actually ended up playing a

Andrew Gross has confirmed on Twitter that Tim Kennedy, the 24 year old Forward from Buffalo, NY who also played for Buffalo last season is to sign a one-year deal with the Rangers. I also want to note that our own Nick Montemagno broke this story to us here at
