Looking Back On Round 1 As NY Prepare For B’s

It was a frightening first round series for New York Ranger fans. Down 2-0 to start the series, and down 3-2 after a game five OT loss, the Rangers found themselves staring elimination in the face before shutting the Washington Capitals out in back to back games to take the series in seven. It was ...

Blue Jackets New Division Features Familiar Faces

The July blockbuster that sent Rick Nash to New York was viewed by most of the hockey world as an overwhelming victory for the Rangers.

On March 21, 1994, General Manager Neil Smith, prodded by head coach Mike Keenan, made several deals at the trade deadline that had New York Ranger fans ready to storm Madison Square Garden with torches and pitchforks. A young, talented winger was sent packing for two ‘role’ players, and a future Hall of Fame sniper ...

Blue Jackets at the Turn: Finding the Sweet Spot

Sunday was  68-degree March day in central Ohio – a weather phenomenon that divides the mind between the skate blade and the golf club, so a golf analogy seems appropriate to use as we contemplate the recent string of success, culminating with a weekend home-and-home sweep of the Detroit Red Wings.  <pause for effect>   . . .That’s ...
