Postgame: Rangers Drop Key Game to Blues, Will need a Miracle to make the Playoffs
It is going to take a miracle for the New York Rangers to make the 2010 Stanley Cup Playoffs. The Boston Bruins were shutout by the Penguins 3-0, meaning the Blueshirts would move within a point of a playoff spot heading into Boston on Sunday if they won tonight. Of course, the Rangers never make...

Pregame: A Must Win for the Rangers Against Blues
A must win for the New York Rangers tonight against the St. Louis Blues at Madison Square Garden. It has been a while since I have labeled a game a “must win” for the Blueshirts; probably around a year ago when they were in a similar position to be exact. Truth is, the Rangers are three...

Gaborik's Struggles Dragging Rangers Down
Earlier in the season, Marian Gaborik was contending with Alexander Ovechkin and Sidney Crosby for the scoring title in the National Hockey League. Most often, Marian was between first and fifth in scoring in the league, even when the team went through rough stretches. Now, though, several months...

When Will Tortorella Take the Blame?
I am not sure if you have read Andrew Gross' transcript of head coach John Tortorella's brief press conference earlier today with the media, but I have and was quite disturbed when doing so. Before I break this down for you, read Andrew's transcript that he posted on Ranger Rants, below.Q: How...

Postgame: Lack of Desperation Leads to Rangers Downfall against Habs, 3-1
For a team that is desperately in search of a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference, tonight's effort by the New York Rangers was abysmal. The shot totals speak for themselves, but then you tack on the Blueshirts inability to clear the defensive zone, their attempts to get fancy when the...

Pregame: Rangers Have Playoff Spot in Sight as they Host Habs at MSG
As we go down the final stretch here in the regular season, there will be some games that will be of great importance, and some maybe not as much. Tonight's match-up against the Montreal Canadiens is one of those that will be crucial to the Rangers future this season, as it could potentially...

Win and You're In....For Now
Much to the Rangers pleasure, the New Jersey Devils defeated the Boston Bruins 3-2 in regulation last night. This means that a Blueshirt victory tonight against the Montreal Canadiens at Madison Square Garden would put New York in playoff position for the time being. The Bruins are sinking and...

Rangers Must Turn to Auld in Precaution to Burning Out Lundqvist
The Rangers held a very light practice this morning after their 3-1 victory over the Philadelphia Flyers on Sunday at Madison Square Garden. Andrew Gross of Ranger Rants was on the scene, as always, and spoke with John Tortorella when the head coach did his usual routine meeting with the media....

Avery Deserves Credit, Not Tortorella
I know what it looks like. I know how it seems. But it is not what you may think. Sean Avery is a player that motivates himself. He is a player that can pick his game up when he wants, and when he realizes he is a very good hockey player, he has the ability to dominate on the ice. It is not the...

Postgame: Avery's Two Goals Lifts Rangers past Flyers, 3-1
Desperation would probably be the best adjective to describe the Rangers 3-1 victory over the Philadelphia Flyers today at Madison Square Garden. The Blueshirts outworked, outskated, and outplayed Philadelphia, plain and simple. Desperation is something you would expect from a team that is just...

Pregame: Rangers and Flyers Square Off in Playoff-Like Matinee
In what may just be the biggest game of the season to this point, the New York Rangers will faceoff with the Philadelphia Flyers this afternoon at Madison Square Garden.

Still No Word on Avery
Just about six hours until gametime here and we still have not received any indication from head coach John Tortorella on whether or not forward Sean Avery will return to the lineup tonight against the Flyers. Avery was a healthy scratch on Friday as Tortorella believed he was "not engaged...
