Here’s the full schedule:
Game 1: Friday 4/25 at the Igloo 7 p.m.
Game 2: Sunday 4/27 at the Igloo [...]

Saturday’s games just made matters more complicated with Boston and Washington winning. This is good and bad for the Rangers, since they may get an opponent that’s tired and beaten up, but they still have to wait and won’t be able to prepare until those series are resolved.
That said, the Rangers now face the tricky situation where they will have [...]

Ok, the Rangers won a round and even though it’s a good thing to dispatch the Devils, the games will probably get a little harder from here on out.
For the next round, the Blueshirts will get three possible opponents depending on what happens in the two remianing series in the Eastern Conference.
The most likely opponent is the Pittsburgh Penguins, [...]

Tom Renney looked loose as a goose today as he spoke to reporters before the game.
First he mused about a “N/R’ ron the wall at the Prudential Center looked like a “NYR”
Then he spoke about the goalies he played with joking they used to drink more than the defenseman [his position].
Finally he said he was [...]

My Sunday doubleheader continues. I was at Shea earlier and now sitting here at the Garden for Game 3.
Before the game, the media spoke with Tom Renney, who seemed very loose as his team looks to take control of this series by going up 3-0.
Jaromir Jagr came in and showed the press his Stanley Cup [...]

NEWARK, NJ – It was as intense 1:23 could get. With the Devils finally able to get through on the brilliant Henrik Lundqvist to make it a one goal game, the desperate team from New Jersey gave the New York Rangers all it could muster. But John Madden’s heroic goal was not enough, because 29 [...]

Ok stat of the night: The Rangers have never lost a series when they took a 2-0 lead. Well it looks like this trend will continue.
Think about it, do you honestly believe the Devils will take two games at the Garden, a place where they are 9-2-1 against the Devils in the regular season since [...]

As expected, a tough period with a lot of his, a few scoring chances and no goals. Oh, there’s the penalty door issue too, but that seems to be fixed for now.
Changing things up, Brent Sutter put the Madden line out against Chris Drury, since No. 23 killed New Jersey on Wednesday. Otherwise, we saw something similar as [...]

We are back in Newark for Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals.
Tonight the Rangers will look to continue to take advantage of mistakes, nut must forecheck the puck into the Devils zone more. New Jersey will try to take advantage of the young New York defense, while keeping with the gameplan that worked in [...]

Well, that looked easy didn’t it?
With the Rangers coming through for two goals in the third, the Blueshirts take home ice back for a 1-0 lead in the series.
And this was a Devil Fans nightmare. Their ‘favorites’ like Scott Gomez and Sean Avery performed and Marty Brodeur looked like a rookie out there [or at [...]
