The Rangers are finally beginning to resemble a dominant team once again, much to the relief of their fans who were scratching their heads over their 0-2 start..
If the New York Rangers' new top line is going to produce like this, it might not make any difference if the rest of the offense is a bit unbalanced.
The Rangers already find themselves in a hole. They must fix it now or pay the price.
Penguins chased Henrik Lundqvist from the net in the second period of a 6-3 victory over the Rangers in New York's home opener.
Saturday earned the highest preliminary rating for a non-Winter Classic regular-season game since 2002.
It wasn't a memorable debut for Rich Nash and the new-look Rangers who were defeated in their season opener by the Bruins 3-1.
The lockout was a disaster. Everyone knows it, and we blogged and tweeted about it. But now we move forward and start talking about actual hockey. I don't know about you, but I am fired up. Now it's time to look at the Rangers and how they stack up this season.
Who's primed to lift the Stanley Cup at season's end? Hartnett has readied his fearless NHL predictions for the 2013 season.
If going from being a Columbus Blue Jacket to a Broadway Blueshirt carries a whole lot of pressure, Rick Nash isn't feeling it on his broad shoulders.
Much is being made of the 48-game season that each NHL team will play, and that it will be a sprint to the playoffs instead of the usual marathon. However, that's not really the case.
Young gun Chris Kreider might want to write the Rangers' opener in pencil.
"I think we have the team to do it," goaltender Henrik Lundqvist said. "...We look at the guys in the room, (and) they're great hockey players. But it's about executing and (seeing) if we can do it."
"How do you think we feel?" Gary Bettman responded to Esiason's displeasure. "It's to say the least disappointing, frustrating."
Nash fits the "Tortorella mold." He's a straight-ahead kind of guy and has been itching for an opportunity to play for a winner.
"It was good, good at first. It tailed, to be expected," Tortorella said following a two-hour practice at the team's facility in Greenburgh.
