Real Talk Rangers Podcast: The Taste of Victory (Audio)
The New York Rangers have turned their backs on an awful start to the season. Although still not playing complete, 60-minute hockey games, they have found a way to scrape points out of all three games this week. Poor player performances forced Alain Vigneault and the coaching staff to jumble the offensive line. They struck gold with the creation of the Vesey-Hayes-Fast line. The hard-working line has easily been the teams best during this past week.
New York Rangers Blueshirt Beat 10/17/17: Major Line Changes Made
In an attempt to find the right combinations, head coach Alain Vigneault broke up all of his lines in an attempt to find a winning formula. Justin Tasch of the New York Daily News had the details. The biggest surprise here is the end of the team’s only successful line so far: Mika Zibanejad, Chris Kreider, and Pavel Buchnevich, who have combined for 11 points in the early part of the season. The problem is the only player to put a puck in the back of the net is Zibanejad.
We Expect Greatness: An Open Letter To The 2017 New York Rangers
Mark Messier and the New York Rangers hoisted the Stanley Cup at the Garden 23 years ago. I was 24 years-old and vividly remember driving my girlfriend (now my wife) home that night and how absolutely crazy the streets were. That night ended a 54-year Stanley Cup drought for the team and its fans. At that point, everyone, myself included, thought “we are going to win a few more of these.” Well, maybe not. 23 years seems like a long time since winning a championship and…well, it is.
ESNY's New York Rangers 2017-18 Preview, Predictions: King for a Playoff Season?
There’s nothing worse than employing a future hall of fame goaltender, winning a Presidents’ Trophy, appearing in the NHL Final and still walking around cup-less. For all of the success the New York Rangers have experienced in the Henrik Lundqvist era, that elusive Stanley Cup rules all. In fact, this club probably ranks No. 1 across all four major sports in terms of championship-caliber traits without the title. For years, they’ve traveled deep in the playoffs only to be rebuffed, time and again.
Week 5 Fantasy Football Waiver Pickups: Say Hello to the Bye
Was your fantasy football team decimated by injuries in Week 4? Don’t give up just yet—there’s help to be found on the waiver wire. On Sunday another avalanche of injuries came crashing down on fantasy owners. Rookie running backs Dalvin Cook (torn ACL) and Chris Carson (broken leg) both had their seasons cut short, while Derek Carr is expected to be sidelined two-to-six weeks with a fracture in his back.
The New York Rangers Have A Salary Cap Problem
Per Capfriendly.com, the Rangers have 22 players on their roster. Jesper Fast is listed on the injured reserve list until his return from hip surgery. Their available cap space is $1,550,556 million. That doesn’t leave a lot of money to get another player to join the team if the Rangers need one. Head coach Alain Vigneault has not come out and said what kind of roster he would like. Some teams will carry seven defensemen and 13 forwards, while some could go with six defensemen and 14 forwards.
New York Yankees Postseason Success Over Twins Is All-Too Familiar
On Tuesday, the New York Yankees advanced to play the Cleveland Indians in the American League Divisional Series on Thursday with an 8-4 win over the Twins in the American League Wild Card game. In the history of the Wild Card Game (five years), the team that starts the more-experienced starting pitcher (by career starts to that point) has won eight of the 10 contests.
New York Rangers Blueshirt Beat, 9/26/17: J.T. Miller Back to Wing
Yesterday, New York Rangers head coach Alain Vigneault revealed that the plan moving forward for J.T. Miller was to move him back to wing. Most fans feel Miller is better suited on the wing, freeing him up from some defensive responsibilities. J.T. posted career numbers last season primarily playing on the wing, so we can only hope he will continue to grow in this role. It should be a nice feeling for Miller as well to finally settle into one position.

Schwartz on Sports Podcast: NHL Network's Kevin Weekes Drops By (Audio)
Fans of two local hockey teams remember former NHL goaltender Kevin Weekes. This much is certain. Back during the 2005-06 season, Weekes signed on to play with the New York Rangers as the team’s No. 1 goalie. What’s interesting about this move is that it coincided with the rise of young Henrik Lundqvist.
