Recent reports from Darren Dreger say that New York Rangers coach John Tortorella could be out of a job if the Rangers fail to advance in the playoffs. It’s entirely possible with Glen Sather picking up Rick Nash and shipping Marian Gaborik to Columbus that Tortorella may not be the coach Sather is looking for. ...
The Rangers’ power play is bad, but did you realize just how awful it is?

The roller coaster ride that is the 2013 New York Rangers is now on an upswing, just days after a freefall had Blueshirt fans screaming for the axing of coaches, the trading of underachieving stars, and summer buyouts of underperforming veterans.

The New York Rangers made a move this afternoon that will undoubtedly anger some fans while thrilling others.
