New York Rangers Rumors & News
Rooting interest
Rangers Rants | Bergen Record — Hey Rangers’ fans, it’s OK to root for the Devils tonight. The Devils host the Bruins at 7 p.m. and the Rangers would love to see the Bruins held without a point as a game is crossed off their schedule. The Rangers moved within one point of the Bruins for the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference with yesterday’s 3-1 win over the Flyers. But the Bruins, going into tonight, have played two fewer games. It all sets up what should be an exciting - and influential - week of hockey for the Rangers, who host the surging seventh-place Canadiens on Tuesday and are at Boston on Sunday. 6. Flye...
2 hours agoRangers sparked by Sean Avery's return
New York Post — If the Rangers are going to make the playoffs, they need Sean Avery to be the player he was in each of the last three stretch drives to the playoffs when he wasn't a third-line afterthought but an essential ingredient in the club's success. Which is to say...
2 hours agoBlueshirts must avoid looking 'too far ahead'
New York Post — It's the Bruins, Canadiens and Flyers that the Rangers are chasing, not Philadelphia wing Daniel Carcillo. "We are in such a spot here we have to concentrate on playing our game," said Rangers coach John Tortorella. "It's too important a game to do something stupid and cost your...

New York Post — These were Brandon Dubinsky's thoughts when Flyers' captain Mike Richards challenged him to drop his gloves with just under four minutes remaining and the Flyers down by two goals in yesterday's 3-1 Rangers' victory at the Garden: "He came up and asked it I wanted to fight," said...
6 hours agoAvery lets play do the talking
Journal News — Sean Avery had little to say after leading the Rangers to a key 3-1 victory over the Philadelphia Flyers that gave their late-season playoff push a much-needed confidence boost.
8 hours agoSolid ground
The Blueshirts Blog | New York Daily News — Sean Avery takes first-star honors for his two goals and overall pestering play in a 3-1 win over the Flyers, but all-in-all it was a solid team effort by the Rangers for the second game in a row, and effort John Tortorella said he was “very” pleased with. “We looked as a team,” the coach said. “It was probably one of our better team games, in the discipline part of it, in the neutral zone away from the puck as far as taking away their speed, and we played hard. Everybody pitched in and we found a way to play a pretty good hockey game tonight.” Avery - retur...

13 hours agoRangers 3, Flyers 1: Postgame wrapup
Rangers Rants | Bergen Record — Two good games for the Rangers in a row and points now in five of the seven games since the Olympic break (3-2-2). As Henrik Lundqvist said after the game, this is the fun time of the year because one crucial victory just sets up another do-or-die scenario in the next game, which would be the Rangers hosting the Canadiens Tuesday (remember it’s 7:30 to accommodate Versus and Canadian television). “It’s a good sign,” Lundqvist said of the two-game winning streak. “We have to prepare now for games as if they are the playoffs, because it is. There were a lot of games this year that somehow we le...

- Help a reader out - 03-15-10 Empty Netters | Pittsburgh Post-Gazette A reader writes: "I lived the first 8 years of my life in Pittsburgh before my family moved. I made it to one game at the Igloo before we left, but I was too young to really remember. I've been a Pens fan my whole life (never lived in another NHL market, even) and I'm going to be lucky enough to go to the Capitals game April 6 so I can see the Igloo before they knock it down. I'm very excited, have a ticket, all set to go.My question for you is this: what can I do to maximize my Pens/Igloo experience? Where should I visit on game day? Where should I eat before/after? Anything I c...

- Isles win one light on buzz New York Post The last time Scott Gordon and Ron Wilson coached in the same game, Gordon was Wilson's assistant for Team USA in last month's riveting Olympic gold-medal game against Canada. Yesterday's match between the Islanders and Maple Leafs didn't have quite the same excitement -- no dramatic...

- Teixeira working to avoid another slow start Blogging the Bombers | New York Daily News If you paid any attention last spring, you know that Mark Teixeira has a history of being a slow starter. That was certainly the case in 2009, as he hit .200 through the end of April, hitting three homers while driving in 10 RBI. Some attributed it to the absence of Alex Rodriguez, who was rehabbing from hip surgery, while others blamed Teixeira’s adjustment period to life in New York. Teixeira doesn’t know why he started so poorly last year, and even though his career numbers in April are inferior to the other five months (his .249 average is nearly 30 points lower than his next-...

- Down at the complex The LoHud Yankees Blog | Journal News With nothing going on at Steinbrenner Field, I stopped by the Yankees minor league complex this morning.

- The Maine approach Amazin' Stories | Bergen Record Dan Warthen is going to come hunting for me. Just when he’s got John Maine maturing, happy to see that he is recovered from his physical ailments and beginning to soften his tendency to beat himself up, I sat down with Maine this morning and made a suggestion. I joked, when he was struggling Sunday, why didn’t he try out his theory on pitching with a running start? Maine brightened up, noted that he’s got a live batting practice session scheduled for Wednesday and said he might break it out. I hope he’s kidding. In today’s Record, we discuss the new and improved (Mentally) Maine. He felt as ...
