Don't Mess With The Metro

The always-hated-on Rangers’ prospect system has been revamped over the past few years. Currently, the Rangers have developed two Strengths: Defensive depth and Goaltending Potential. The prized possession being Igor Shestyorkin, arguably the top goalie prospect in the world, a monster who is shutting down the KHL in every start. Rangers fans are already soaking the...

Filip Chytil Saves Kevin Shattenkirk’s Perfect MSG Debut

With less than 5 seconds left in overtime, assisted by Shattenkirk himself, Filip Chytil scored his first goal in a Rangers jersey capping off a thrilling 4-3 victory over the New Jersey Devils. Kevin Shattenkirk had a bri...

Love him or hate him, Chris Kreider has quietly become the most important player on the Rangers roster, and yes that is a scorching hot take. Here we go again, yes I do think the Rangers 26 year old Power Forward is more important than Ryan Mcdonagh, Kevin Shattenkirk or dare I say it Henrik Lundqvist. Kreider’s natural ability paired...

I watched the 2016-17 WJC, I don’t need the “BU BU BUT JEERRMEEYY BRRRRAACCCOOO” bullshit and don’t you dare think “BUT GRREEENNWAYYY”. Yes I also am aware that Ryan Gropp “only put up just over a point per game in an overage year!1!1!1” but please just hear me out here. Yes, I am the kid that is about to write an article about how Ryan ...

A Dark Horse is a candidate or competitor about whom little is known but who unexpectedly wins or succeeds.

Training Camp for most sports teams is not only a great showcasing for both young and aged talent, but an event that manages to surprise people every year, especially the fans. It seems like just the other day the New York Rangers signed coveted free agent defenseman Kevin Shattenk...

I’m here for two things: drop hot takes and chew bubble gum.

And I am all out of bubble gum.

You see, trying to argue a point is no fun without an “outrageous” statement sometimes, and that’s why I am here to state and defend why the Carolina Hurricanes make a legitimate case for having a better top 4 than the New York Rangers.

I know ...

After a dreadful 2016-17 season the Hartford Wolf Pack have started their road to recovery, and we’re hoping this will go a little better than Johnny Manziel’s (No disrespect to Money Manziel it’ll happen one day brother). After a quite terrifying 54 point season the Wolfpack politely asked Head Coach Ken Gernander to get as far away from central Connecticut as possible, promoted Assistant Coach Keith McCa...

Let me spoil 2 things for you right off the bat. Mika Zibanejad will resign with the New York Rangers this summer and Mika Zibanejad will play 1C minutes for the Rangers this season. After being acquired from Ottawa in a swap for Derick Brassard with picks going both ways, Zibanejad had gotten off to a great start scoring 15 points in the first 19 games. However unfortunately on November 20th in overtime vs Florida, Mika broke his fibula a...

We’ve seen the interviews, we’ve read the articles, we are watching it unfold. The New York Rangers are “Rebuilding on the Fly”. In the past 10 days the Rangers have bought out Dan Girardi, Traded Derek Stepan and Antti Raanta for Anthony Deangelo-a 21 year old RHD with Offensive upside- and the 7th Pick-Which the Rangers drafted center Lias Andersson-, Re-signed Defenseman Brendan Smith a...

It is obvious that the New York Rangers currently have holes in their lineup and it shouldn’t come as a surprise that the trade with Arizona helped attribute to that. But, the trade sending center Derek Stepan and backup goaltender Antti Raanta to the desert helped to clear up just about $20 million in total for the blueshirts, but what could the now-free cap space entail?

Well first, let&...
