Rangers Season Outlook – Part 1 – Forwards
Posted on 16 Aug 2010 by Dan Rakusan.
Man, this summer sure is dragging on... Not much beyond the Kovalchuk contract going on right now, and certainly only one issue facing the Rangers - Re-signing Marc Staal. With that being said, we will begin our series of positional breakdowns and try to get a sense of how the Rangers will fare in the upcoming 2010-11 campaign. The analysis won't always be pretty, but hopefully by the tim...

Home On The Rangers
Posted on 3 Aug 2010 by Dan Rakusan.
Well, Glen Sather has made another questionable move this offseason, acquiring center/left-winger Todd White from the Atlanta Thrashers in return for a package of Pat Rissmiller and Donald Brashear. Sure, it's an upgrade in talent for the Rangers, who get a player who is one season removed from putting up 73 points, but at the same time, this trade could present some lineup issues. Let me e...

PUCK That! Frolov Should Be a Lone Ranger
Posted on 27 Jul 2010 by Rob Mixer.
Two Russians signed contracts yesterday, and two general managers apparently think they are filling immediate needs on their clubs. Â But this pair of drop-in-the-well acquisitions by the New York Rangers and Los Angeles Kings seems more like the time I bought the fourth edition of a textbook instead of the required ninth version---just to save a little money and make it look like I was on t...

Quick Hit – Frolov To Rangers? (CONFIRMED)
Posted on 27 Jul 2010 by Dan Rakusan.
It appears that some offensive help could be on the way for the Rangers. According to SovSports, a Russian newspaper, Alexander Frolov could be signing with New York on a one-year deal soon. While nothing has been finalized, the two sides have been in talks, and this could be the value signing of the offseason. According to Frolov's agent, Sergei Isakov, the deal could be very similar to...

Two Steps Forward, One Giant Step Back – UPDATED WITH MOVEMENT!
Posted on 9 Jul 2010 by Dan Rakusan.
After going through a myriad computer problems which basically resulted in having to reformat everything after transferring my data to an external drive, I am back! First order of business? Griping about the Rangers' lack of a tangible strategy in their offseason approach. Everyone knows that I (and many Rangers' fans) would like nothing more than to see Glen Sather get run over by a Mac...

One Win Away…
Posted on 9 May 2010 by Dan Rakusan.
It has taken me considerable time to come up with adequate words to describe the New York Rangers' season. There are several reasons for my delay in posting a "year in review" article. Firstly, what were the expectations at the start of the season? Where did we appear to be headed at the mid-point of the year? And finally, how did the season end? Tackling one issue at a time, I will ...

Quick Hit – Rangers Sign Norwegian Scoring Sensation!
Posted on 17 Apr 2010 by Dan Rakusan.
The New York Rangers began their offseason by signing Norwegian winger Mats Zuccarello-Aasen to a two year contract. The smallish winger was a star for Norway at the Vancouver Olympic Games, and led the Swedish Elite League in scoring with 64 points in 55 games for MoDo. While he is undersized at 5'7", he does possess ample skating ability and speed, which, when combined with his natural sc...

Serves Me Right…
Posted on 6 Apr 2010 by Dan Rakusan.
Rangers lost tonight in a big way. The Sabres were full value, taking the game by a 5-2 margin, even after the game was tied 2-2 after one period of play. I have to take my comeuppance, in the sense that every time I say something positive about the Rangers, they prove me wrong. Now, I will comment about one thing. I fail to see how anyone can watch a Buffalo feed of ANY game at all.Â...

Sunshine State Success!
Posted on 5 Apr 2010 by Dan Rakusan.
The New York Rangers aren't willing to go down without a fight, as shown by their trip through Florida. First, they beat the defensively inept Tampa Bay Lightning by a 5-0 margin, and then they took their show to Miami, where they downed the perpetually rebuilding Panthers by a 4-1 mark. Without getting into game specifics, both games were a sign that the Rangers actually can play like a g...

Rangers Blow Lead – Playoff Hopes Fading
Posted on 28 Mar 2010 by Dan Rakusan.
After winning two games, the Rangers showed the world why they are an extremely frustrating team to cheer for last night, losing 3-2 in overtime to the hapless Toronto Maple Leafs. Everything started out well, as the Rags built a 2-0 lead and looked to have things in the bag. However, a flukey goal by Tomas Kaberle from behind the goal-line which Henrik Lundqvist absolutely should have stop...
