For the moment, Rangers fans can exhale. Captain Ryan Callahan will remain property of the Blueshirts throughout the Sochi games.
Nail Yakupov scored with 1:38 left in regulation to give the Edmonton Oilers to a 2-1 win over the New York Rangers on Thursday night.
Trading him might be a logical business move, but it would take the heart right out of this team at the worst possible time.
It was business as usual Tuesday night for Rangers captain Ryan Callahan. All the trade speculation? Forget about it. That's put aside when he steps on the ice.
Rangers captain Ryan Callahan shook off trade talk and scored two first-period goals to lead New York to its fourth straight win, 5-1 over the Colorado Avalanche on Tuesday night.
Barring a sudden breakthrough in negotiations, the Rangers must trade captain Ryan Callahan before Friday's 3 p.m. roster freeze. If they don't, they are taking a huge risk.
If Ryan Callahan's comments can be taken at face value, his desire is to remain with the only organization he's ever known.
Derick Brassard scored the go-ahead goal with 7:46 left in the third period and the New York Rangers used late offense to beat the New York Islanders for the second straight game, 4-1 on Friday night.
The Rangers are getting contributions from different players on different nights. This isn't a team that is reliant on Rick Nash taking over a game. The wealth of goal-scoring is being evenly distributed.
Daniel Carcillo scored the tiebreaking goal 4:36 into the third period, and the New York Rangers completed a two-game sweep of the outdoor series with a 2-1 victory over the New York Islanders at frigid Yankee Stadium on Wednesday night.
Should Ryan Callahan and Dan Girardi not back down from their "superstar deal" demands, they will not be wearing Rangers sweaters beyond March 5.
The only thing missing from Sunday's outdoor NHL game at Yankee Stadium was true animosity on the ice. That shouldn't be a problem on Wednesday night when the Islanders get their crack at the Rangers.
With the league set to push pause on its season for next month's Winter Games, Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly is allowing for the possibility of a security issue that could keep the players from traveling to Russia at all.
Someone was going to step up and write themselves into history. It turned out to be the diminutive forward, who has been arguably the Rangers' most consistent player this season.
"The ice was the worst ice I've ever played on. You went from the shadows to the sun. It was almost a 10-degree difference. It was unbelievable. You rely a lot on instinct and poise, and I couldn't close my glove. It was so cold."
