A move to center with the Boogeyman on one side and Prust on the other
|
Posted by Michael M. Ramos ≡ 9:57:07 PM - July 8, 2010
In the world of Tortorella, it would only make since that he would put Avery at center for his fighters. For the first time in awhile, the Rangers will not have to worry about a response for when Gaborik, Lundqvist, or any other player gets pushed around. Just having Boogard on the bench for his 5 minutes of playing time,(rumors have it that he is practicing with Pavel Datsyuk to improve his skating and learning to better his game) will keep other teams playing an honest game that will allow the Rangers skilled players to play their game without worries. The line of Boogard--Avery--Prust will get the Garden crowd buzzing as they wreak HAVOC (Hit-Agitate-Violence-Obliterate-Conquer)all over the ice, so there shouldn't be any lackluster games this coming season for the Rangers.
In some of my earlier blogs, my sources have given some solid info. The June 17th blog, my sources were right on about McDonagh waiting for Joe Faust(since drafted by the Islanders) to officially decommit from Princeton University and is now listed committed to Wisconsin. McDonagh signed with the Rangers and his spot will be taken by Faust this season on the Badgers roster. Also, other sources have told me that Tortorella's gameplan was to get Stepan and McDonagh to leave school early. All goals accomplished. Tort's plan is also to have Grachev and Weise make the NHL roster. Those are spots that Tort's wants in the NHL this year, the jobs are theirs to lose if he has his way....more

Plus and MINUS of the 2010 Draft

It is obvious that the thought of the Rangers organization going into the draft was to get BIGGER and tougher. Mission accomplished. Besides the #2 pick (at 5'9" 162) the Rangers picked 3 BIG and mean players that fill organizational needs. Add that to the trade of 2 time AHL all-star defenseman Bobby Sanguinetti to Carolina for this years 6th rounder(the Rangers picked Jesper Fasth with the pick) and a 2011 2nd round pick originally from Washington, and this years Rangers team is starting to take shape. more

What is Sather's next move?
|
|
Posted by Michael M. Ramos ≡ 7:53:07 PM - June 17, 2010
|
So far this offseason, Rangers GM Sather has been busy with making their 1st trade with their rival Islanders since 1972, signed forward Stepan early out of college, resigned Hartford Captain Byers, and has Gordie Clark and his staff primed for next fridays draft. The question is, will the Rangers do anything else before the draft? The rumors are swirling that he has 1 more ace up his sleeve. more

Rangers Future Somewhat Defensive?
|
|
Posted by Michael M. Ramos ≡ 9:05:02 PM - June 3, 2010
|
What Torts wants is what Torts gets. Coach Tortorella wanted to clean house of the defensemen that played on the Rangers blueline and has the transformation almost complete to his liking. Gone are Morris, Mara,Strudwick, and the type of player that either didn't play or fit into the offensive defensemen version of Tortorella hockey. In are the "new Rangers" version of Del Zotto, Staal, Girardi,Gilroy, and a large list of the likes in the system waiting for a chance. Look for the Rangers to finally rid themselves of Redden, either to Hartford or a situation like what Kasparitis did by playing overseas. Roszival could be the only defenseman that is over the age of 26 on the Blueline this year. more

Season Ends Abruptly
|
|
Posted by Toby Ivey ≡ 12:23:28 PM - April 12, 2010
|
With yesterday's shootout loss to the Flyers, the Rangers' season came abruptly to an end. Maybe I'd gotten too used to seeing post-season play, but for whatever reason the loss yesterday struck me as surprising, and of course more than a little disappointing. more

It Comes Down To One Game

It comes down to one game. Today at 3pm, the Rangers take on the Flyers in Philadelphia to decide who will get in the playoffs and who will go home early. It doesn't matter whether it's in regulation, overtime, or in the shootout, the team that comes away with two points today will get a chance to continue their season against the Washington Capitals. more
