Certainly no shortage of things to talk about today when it
comes to the New York Rangers, but let us start where the day ended with a
tough shootout win against a very good Stars team. The win was yet another Rangers comeback win
which is a great thing to see the team have the belief that being down a goal
going into the third is not only not the end of the game, but possibly right
where they want to be.
Against
Stars Zuccarello Shines Brightest; Rangers 3-2 SO Win is the recap of
tonight’s comeback win in the shootout with Mats Zuccarello-Aasen getting the
winner, but as with every game there were plenty of other key moments in the
game which are detailed, which players stood out and those which did not show
up for tonight’s game. Also see a review
of how Ryan McDonagh’s debut
Highlights from tonight’s game include the Artem
Anisimov shot that tied the game in the third period and the Mats
Zuccarello shootout winner along with a Dale
Weise, Steve Ott fight so check out those videos.
The biggest prize in the NHL rumormill this season has been
Brad Richards because of the assumption that at some point for various reasons
the Stars would have to seel him. With
today’s move to go out and trade for Jamie Langenbrunner so I looked at whether
that move means Brad
Richards Is Off The Market? The move to go out and trade for Langenbrunner certainly
changes the calculations and assumptions involved, but does it mean Richards is
a lock to stay through the deadline? Are
the Rangers better off if this move does ensure that neither the Rangers nor
anyone else get Richards during the year?
This morning I took a look at a rumor that had the Rangers
and Habs talking trade and Alex Frolov potentially involved. Inside there is a look at the obvious of why
the Rangers would deal Frolov, the less obvious on the surface of why Montreal
would look to acquire him and what a possible trade might look like if it did
happen.
This afternoon I put up links to other sites that had some
great stories up involving the following topics: Mid-term
Grades; Drury Needs New Pants; Lundqvist Pending Nuptials
Finally tonight’s video section is unfortunately a couple of
lowlights from the way some people choose to play the game.
One has Kostopoulos Blindside Cheap Shot Breaks Stuart's Jaw (Video w Blood) which is one of the dirtiest hits I can think of in recent memory and he should expect a lengthy suspension.
The other was Ben
Eager Sucker Punches Armstrong; Tor Get 4 Goals; Suspension Likely Coming
(Video) which looks at not only the sucker punch itself and possible
suspension but how his team paid a dear price for his selfish play to cheapshot
Armstrong. Regardless of what you
think about Armstrong personally this was beyond the bounds.
