New York Rangers' Top-20 All-Time Goal Scorers

January 13th, 2021 The New York Rangers have been around for almost 100 years and they've had some of the best players in NHL history come through their ranks, such as Phil Esposito, Jean Ratelle, Barry Beck, and Brian Leetch.

Rangers' 1978-79 Stanley Cup Final: What Could've Been

November 23rd, 2020 Before the 2013-14 New York Rangers made their stunning run to the Stanley Cup Final, only to fall short, there was the 1978-79 team. That Blueshirts squad authored an even bigger Cinderella story than their counterparts of 25 years later, emerging from third place in the four-team Patrick Division - with 91 points, they finished 25...
Rod Gilbert: Mr. Ranger

Rod Gilbert: Mr. Ranger

November 21st, 2020 Rod Gilbert and the New York Rangers were a perfect match. It's been over half a century since Gilbert made his debut at the old Madison Square Garden (located on Eighth Avenue between 49th and 50th Streets), yet many of the franchise records he set during his tenure still stand. But it almost didn't happen. Gilbert's...

Jean Ratelle: Most Underrated Ranger of All-Time

Jean Ratelle: Most Underrated Ranger of All-Time

February 27th, 2018 The New York Rangers repaired a relationship from their past with an exquisite ceremony to celebrate the career of Jean Ratelle and retire his No. 19 sweater on Feb. 25. If you're unfamiliar with the name, he may be the most underrated Ranger of all-time. It's the highest honor that a professional athlete can have bestowed upon...

50 Years Ago in Hockey: Esposito, Hall Lead Hawks

50 Years Ago in Hockey: A Lost Weekend in Chicago

November 15th, 2015 The Chicago Black Hawks went into the weekend leading the National Hockey League with a 6-0-2 record and looking like they might not lose a game all year.

50 Years Ago in Hockey - Tulsa Players in Hot Water

November 25th, 2014 (Author's note - I wish to send my condolences to the family and friends of Pat Quinn, one of my all-time favourite coaches.  Very early in my daughter's television career, he treated her very well while she was an intern on TSN's Off the Record.  She describes Pat as the classiest guest she had the pleasure of dealing with, and she...
