Is Chris Drury the Ranger MVP?

Mar 19th, 2008 | By Joe McDonald | Category: NYSR Blog

After tonight I think he is.
Look, here’s a guy who is always in the right place at the right time and he works wrll on rebounds, wins faceoffs and comes up with that clutch goal, much like No. 11 did back in the day.
And just wait for the playoffs.
His goal in the third was typical [...]



The Centers of Attention

Dec 18th, 2007 | By Joe McDonald | Category: NYSR Blog

Tom Renney apparently had enough and decided to shuffle the lines to something more conventional before the Rangers take on the Pens tonight.
Scott Gomez will now be centering Jaromir Jagr and Marty Straka with Chris Drury becoming Brendan Shanahan’s pivot. Brandon Dubinsky goes to line No. 3 with Ryan Callahan and Petr Prucha.
Now this makes [...]



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 [...]



Ouch

Oct 13th, 2007 | By Joe McDonald | Category: NYSR Blog

Three Ottawa goals in 52 second is the difference in this game.
The Rangers started to get sloppy there in the second giving the Sens a chance on the power play.
Unless they can mount an offensive in the third this game is pretty much over.  



Thirty Seven Shots

And three goals on….
The Rangers have dominated this game, even though a Petr Prucha goal was waived off, they still looked good, keeping the puck in Washington’s end.
No penatlties either in the second for the Blueshirts, so that’s good too.
Only Olie the Goalie is keeping this from being a blowout.
More later…



And Now The Rangers Take on the Flyers

Sep 22nd, 2007 | By Joe McDonald | Category: NYSR Blog

Giveaways. Giveaways.
That’s the story of the first period as the Rangers gave away the puck a little too much for anyone’s taste. And the 2-0 Flyer lead, on goals by Sami Kapanen and Mike Knuble is the result. Some neat things: Colton Orr took on David Laliberte and the Flyers rookie got a 10 minutes misconduct [...]



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 [...]
