Blueshirts blow one in epic fashion to The Walking Dead, Ovechkin wills Caps to comeback win, Groundhog Day for Zibanejad and a wasted effort

Posted on March 20, 2021 by Derek

It takes a lot to get me angry. Last night’s game was one of those WTF just happened moments. For 53 minutes, the Rangers had complete control against a Walking Dead version of the Capitals. They so dominated at five-on-five … Continue reading →

Blueshirts make too many mistakes in another loss to Penguins to spoil Kinkaid’s first start

Posted on March 10, 2021 by Derek

Alright. I’ll come right out and say it. I’m sick and tired of losing to the Penguins. I could care less if the Rangers have been competitive in four of the five losses to our old Patrick Division rival. It’s … Continue reading →

Rangers implode following Zibanejad’s first even strength goal in bad 5-1 loss to Penguins

Posted on March 8, 2021 by Derek

https://twitter.com/HeresYourReplay/status/1368758281318072324?s=19 It started out well enough. On Jacob Trouba’s first shift back from a broken thumb, he made a good defensive play to Pavel Buchnevich, who made a strong play along the boards to send Mika Zibanejad and Alexis Lafreniere … Continue reading →

New York Post’s Larry Brooks gets DeAngelo to break silence, puts end to irresponsible blog’s unsubstantiated rumors

Posted on February 14, 2021 by Derek

I’ll be 100 percent honest here. For as long as I’ve rooted for this team, Larry Brooks has been around for all of it. A veteran reporter of the New York Post, he’s been there since the beginning. The Hockey … Continue reading →

Rangers fall apart in loss to Penguins

Posted on January 25, 2021 by Derek

This one was bad. Once again, the Rangers blew a lead after two periods. Only this time, they allowed two goals including a Jake Guentzel game-winner late in regulation to lose to the Penguins 3-2. So, in two winnable games … Continue reading →

Younger Blueshirts bright spots in tough loss to Penguins

Posted on January 23, 2021 by Derek

By now, all the yo-yos complaining over spilt milk have calmed down. A 56-game schedule means it’s too early for panic. Especially four games into the new season. A 1-2-1 record at the start isn’t what the Rangers wanted. That’s … Continue reading →

A good change by NHL on offside rule, the crazy Rangers schedule, Kucherov surgery and WJC

Posted on December 24, 2020 by Derek

One of the biggest gripes over the past few years was how often the offside challenge overturned goals. My view on it was when it’s obvious, that’s what it’s there for. When it becomes confusing for both players, coaches and … Continue reading →
