Rissmiller assigned to Hartford
Meanwhile, a more important question: Why now? Do the Rangers have something else brewing? Are Zipay’s delusional calls for Mats Sundin actually being heard? (I kid my fantasy co-owner. At this point, if the Rangers could land Sundin without mortgaging their future, I’d be for it, too).

Tuesday musings
A number of readers have pointed out how Scott Gomez seems to be shooting much more this season. It’s true, Gomez was among the league leaders in shots taken before missing five games with an ankle injury. And he’s still ranked 24th with 82 shots in 22 games (Chris Drury ranks first on the Range...

As Prucha stays, Rangers contemplate other options
Some tidbits and thoughts after our session with Tom Renney today. “We can look at a number of different guys. What would Zherdev be like back there? Chris (Drury) we’ve tried. What would Scott (Gomez) be like back there? What would Nazzy be like? That’s a short list of guys.”

Before you pull your hair out
But let’s try to maintain some perspective. This is a flawed team that probably isn’t as good as its record suggests. But it’s still a team that has managed to win more games than its lost. And no, that’s not just because of Henrik Lundqvist.

Lundqvist back in tomorrow; Decision on Prucha imminent
So just how competitive is Henrik Lundqvist? And competitive enough that after Tom Renney originally said he would consider putting Stephen Valiquette in net for tomorrow against the Panthers, he’s decided to go back to the King instead.

Ranger Royalty to the Rescue
Translation: The Rangers won in a shootout, with Henrik Lundqvist stopping the last two Florida Panther shooters while Markus Naslund and Nikolai Zherdev converted their chances for the second straight game, after the opposition was allowed to tie the game late in the third period for...

Blair Betts has been promoted and he doesn’t even know it
For instance, is the Rangers’ first line the one that has Scott Gomez at center between Chris Drury and Ryan Callahan? Or is it the one with Markus Naslund and Nikolai Zherdev on either side of Brandon Dubinsky? You’d say it’s the Gomez line based on Drury and Gomez’s prominent roles, their...

Opinion: Power Play Making a Difference This Season
One obvious factor is the goaltending of Henrik Lundqvist -- no one who has watched Wade Redden, Dmitri Kalinin, and Michal Rozsival play hot potato with the puck in their own end is going to ascribe the Rangers' defensive prowess to their blueline corps. You just can't underestimate the i...

Opinion: Game time!!!
I'm sure you heard that the Rangers already won the cup. Unfortunately, it was only the Victoria Cup, and they beat a team with only a handful of borderline NHL players. BUT, it was cool nonetheless. If they can build on that and translate it into regular season wins remains to be seen. AND, we wil...

Opinion: Seven Year Itch
I started covering the New York Rangers in 1999. During that stretch I've seen everything from a player getting busted for smoking crack in a hotel room with a hooker, to an oafish defenseman winning a game in a shootout by snapping a puck through his legs. I've watched Theo Fleury, Eric Lindr...

Nash's breakaway lifts Blue Jackets past Rangers 4-3
I kind of tipped it past the defenseman and came in and made a little move.' ' It was a great hockey game,' Columbus coach Gerard Gallant said. ' It was our most complete game of the season. We got out to an early 3-1 lead and held on after that.' '
