It’s Always Rowdy in Western Canada

Sorry for the lack of updates this weekend. Erik was in Pittsburgh covering the comedy of errors that is the Syracuse University football program. I was in NYC, enjoying my second championship parade in three years. But, I did see all of the games, so I do have some takes ...

USA 1 - Canada 1

First off, this is EriK again from Rothman's account. I swear I am getting my own account one of these days. Hopefully that will help with any confusion. More importantly, how 'bout that Rangers win! I won't lie, I did not get a chance to watch the game but just from ...

Gaborik Out Tonight

Just a quick update here folks, I have a jam packed day ahead of me. But, Andrew Gross just reported that Marian Gaborik will not play tonight against the Islanders. That means that recently recalled P.A. Parenteau will make his NHL debut with the Rangers, in place of Gaborik. Honestly, I ...

Cammalleri’s Hat-Trick Sinks Rangers in OT

It's Erik again from Rothman's account with some initial thoughts after the 5-4 loss in OT to Montreal. The losing streak is now at three, but the Rangers at least got a point out of this one. It was really kind of a wild and crazy game with ...

A Night with the Jersey Devil

So, we've had a couple days to reflect on the beating at the hands of the San Jose Sharks. It's time to bounce back and take care of business tonight against the Devils. Although it is very early in the season, I look at this game as the biggest one ...

Eric and Erik, pretty catchy. Before I say anything about myself, I have to thank both Steve Gelbs and Eric ...

What is with all the winning?

Six in a row? Six wins, one loss. There should be a surgeon generals warning on the Rangers right now: Caution, may be hot, keep out of the hands of small children. Seven games into the season and I couldn't be more excited about this club. Now, if you remember correctly, ...

Poor College Student Continues Podcast Without High Priced Talent

Oh, come on! You didn't think I would go away that easily, did you? Like it or love it, I'm still here folks. And I'm not ready to go down with this ship just yet. I have trimmed the fat, and the NYRangerscast is now a lean, mean fighting machine. Who needs ...

All Good Things Must Come to an End

Okay everybody, I promised an explanation for the lack of recent activity on this site and here it is: After two amazing years as a host of the NYRangerscast, I will be leaving the New York Sportscast Network. That's the bad news (or good news depending on how much you ...

Okay guys, I just wanted to throw this post up to tide you over for a little while longer. Clearly this hasn't been a normal beginning to an NYRangerscast season. Everything will be explained in the very near future, I promise. I just wanted to let all of you loyal ...

Game 5: Ducks @ Rangers

The Rangers look for their fourth straight win tonight as Anaheim visits MSG. The big storyline tonight is the return of Sean Avery to the lineup. Aaron Voros will sit and Ales Kotalik will slip down to take his place on the fourth line. Anaheim's coming off a win at Philly. LGR!

Game 4: Rangers @ Capitals

Rangers recalled Evgeny Grachev today, giving the team 23 men on their roster. Ryan Callahan suffered a minor injury and will not play tonight against the Caps. Neither will Sean Avery. Henry will start his fourth consecutive game. Should be an entertaining game, keep the conversation going below.

Rangers After Three

So, no live blogs for the first three games, so I'm sure you're all chomping at the bit to talk a little Rangers hockey. With three games in the books, the Rangers are off to a 2-1-0 start with wins over Ottawa and New Jersey. Here are my thoughts on ...

Game 3: Rangers @ Devils

I know what you're all thinking: 3 games, no live blog? Sorry guys, but we'll get there. As for tonight, enjoy the first Hudson River Rivalry game of the season...even if Sean Avery will be watching it in street clothes.

Roster Down to 22

According to Andrew Gross' Twitter feed, Evgeny Grachev has been sent down to Hartford, trimming the Rangers roster down to 22 players. This coming on the day the Rangers fell to the Washington Capitals, 4-3. Grachev was brutal in the first period, although he did score a goal in the third. ...

Sanguinetti Sent Down

Well the defensive side of the Rangers lineup appears to be set. Andrew Gross is reporting that Bobby Sanguinetti has been re-assigned to Hartford. Sanguinetti had one assist in three preseason games with the Rangers. This isn't surprising news. To me, it's more developmental than anything else. I don't think this ...

Down to 24

Another roster cut today brings the list down to 24 players. P.A. Parenteau has been re-assigned to Hartford. It's the only roster move of the day. Torts had set he was going to cut two today, but obviously that didn't happen. Sean Avery is still dealing with a strained MCL. He ...
