Zherdev Deal Turning Out To Be a Steal

Oct 31st, 2008 | By Joe McDonald | Category: Top Stories

 
 
NEW YORK – The early returns are in. On this trade, it’s the Rangers by a landslide.
Nikolai Zherdev has been so dominate for the Blueshirts early on this season; it’s hard to believe Glen Sather stole him for middle of the road defensemen Christian Backman and Fedor Tyutin.
And yet again, No. 13 was starring on [...]

Oct 21st, 2008 | By Joe McDonald | Category: New York Rangers, Top Stories

NEW YORK – Sean Avery didn’t talk the media last night, either before or after the Stars 2-1 win at the Garden. He said he was going to take his team out to a New York dinner, “while they still like” him.
Henrik Lundqvist, though, got an earful just 25 seconds into the game as the [...]

Rangers Super Bowl Picks

Feb 1st, 2008 | By Joe McDonald | Category: NYSR Blog

After the 2-1 win over the Devils, I was able to poll a few Blueshirts on their picks. While some didn’t really follow football enough to give a pick, others fearlessly forecasted a Giant win.
Here are the results:
Henrik Lundqvist: First went with the Pats 24-15, but then changed it to Giants 32-24
Jason Strudwick: 24-14 Pats
Fedor [...]



Leave It to Me to Miss The Game, But The Rangers Won!!

Dec 1st, 2007 | By Joe McDonald | Category: NYSR Blog

Usually I have it scheduled out to not to miss a game, and I am at all the home game. But on the road at 1 p.m. in Ottawa, you must forgive me for being a bad beat writer. Well, not so bad since I was with my son. 
Anyway, the Blueshirts did win 5-2 with Brendan [...]



Malik Ready To Come Back

Nov 27th, 2007 | By Joe McDonald | Category: NYSR Blog

I know this is the moment all the Ranger fans are waiting for when Marek Malik returns, but according to Steve Zipay, Tom Renney may not want to put him back in the lineup on Thursday against the Isles.
Now, he will be coming back, so expect No. 8 to be back there over the weekend. [...]

Sep 21st, 2007 | By Joe McDonald | Category: NYSR Blog

Blair Betts and Marty Straka scored for the Blueshirts while Dainius Zubrus and Zack Parise scored for Jersey as the Rangers lead 4-2 after 2.
Both netminders look good and the youngsters, like Marc Staal, High Jessiman, Artem Anisimov, Brandon Dubinsky, Ryan Callahan and Dan Girardi all are skating strong.
The key though are the netminders. Tom [...]



After the First…

Sep 21st, 2007 | By Joe McDonald | Category: NYSR Blog

Power play goals from Dane Byers and Ryan Callahan paced the Rangers to a 2-0 lead.
But more than that was the injuey to Kevin Weekes, who hit his head on the crossbar ad he went down after Sean Avery pushed Johnny Oduya into the former Ranger. After several minutes down on the ice, he was helpped off.
The Byers [...]
