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 [...]

Glen Sather announced today the Rangers signed Swedish left wing Markus Naslund and former Buffalo defenseman Dimitri Kalinin. Naslund got a two year deal, while Kalinin is on a one year plan.
Speaking on a conference call, Sather pointed out Naslund was part of the Blueshirt plan to play more with puck moving and wide [...]

Sean Avery got away and Jaromir Jagr may be the next to go. Even the always lucrative Cablevision money isn’t enough to get the big name this year to the Garden.
So what’s Glen Sather to do?
Make a trade, of course.
After inking Wade Redden and Michal Rozsival on Tuesday, Sather delt some of his blue line [...]

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 [...]

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. [...]

It’s now 1-1. The Islander goal was scored by Marc Andre Bergeron right after Brendan Shanahan went to the box on a holding the stick penalty at the end of the first.
Now Shanny was not too happy about it as it looked like it wasn’t a penalty. But it made it even strength.
Then Fedor Tyutin [...]

The Rangers Just Announced two more cuts before the preseason starts tomorrow night at the Garden.
The team sent defenseman Bobby Sanguinetti back to junior and forward Tom Pyatt to Hartford.
The Rangers now have 37 players remaining in training camp, including four goaltenders, 13 defensemen and 20 forwards. 
Here’s the list:
Goal: Henrik Lundqvist, Al Montoya, Steve Valiquette, and [...]

Ok it looks like Buffalo changed things up. They are now attacking the puck on the penalty kill and making it hard for the Rangers to set up the power play. The Rangers are 0-3.
As for the Blueshirts, their kill is just as strong as before because they are taking away the passing lanes.
Now, both [...]

Tom Renney held an option skate after yesterday’s 96 minute marathon. Most players though were on the ice, which the coach felt was good and bad.
“The idea behind an optional skate is that guys use that time to workout and rest,” Renney said. “Most guys feel they have to be out there. One of the reasons [...]
