Lundqvist, Rangers Fire First Playoff Salvo
April 13th, 2017 "Expect the unexpected". Those were the first words Tanner Glass said to the media following the Rangers impressive 2-0 Game One victory over the Montreal Canadiens Wednesday night. Likely, no other words spoken post game by Glass or his teammates or his coach summed things up better because the Rangers bucked recent -- and not so...
Tanner Glass: Rangers' Achilles Heel
March 16th, 2017 It's official. Tanner Glass provides more to the team than Pavel Buchnevich, according to New York Rangers coach Alain Vigneault. At least that's what Thursday's practice lines say. Before Friday's clash against the Florida Panthers, the Rangers' lines from practice were released. Kreider, Stepan and Zuccarello on the first line. Miller,...
Not Again: Rangers Call up Glass
March 6th, 2017 I thought I would never have to write about this again. But alas, here in 2017, I am writing about Tanner Glass once again in relation to the New York Rangers. The Rangers called up the gritty and well-liked but otherwise wholly ineffective forward on Sunday. Glass had spent most of the past two seasons playing for the Rangers, where...
Would Matt Martin Be a Good Fit with the Rangers?
June 30th, 2016 It was shocking to see the New York Islanders let grizzly forward Matt Martin walk into unrestricted-free-agency, but that's the nature of hockey, good teams loose players they like because the organization has to move in a different direction. Barring something wild, Martin will wear another jersey next year, and just recently reports...
Tanner Glass: A Case Study in Analytics vs Traditionalists
May 12th, 2016 The growth of the advanced stats crowd within the hockey community is undeniable. Terms like Corsi, PDO and Fenwick are used almost as regularly as goals, saves and assists. Player performances are now analyzed using a different set of metrics with traits formerly viewed as important now considered either a negative or unimportant...
Vigneault's Selective Accountability Strikes Again
March 7th, 2016 New York Rangers head coach Alain Vigneault has shown a penchant for playing favorites this season, an unsettling habit about which I recently wrote. Certain players are granted longer leashes and more margin for error than others, which, in the humble opinion of this writer, is not a truly fair way to run a team. Vigneault's...
Rangers' Vigneault Continuing to Play Favorites
February 27th, 2016 Alain Vigneault has proven to be an excellent head coach in the NHL, highlighted by his years of success with the Vancouver Canucks and his guiding of the New York Rangers to the Stanley Cup Final and Conference Final in his first two seasons, respectively. Despite that success though, it is fair to wonder how much more effective the...
The Coming Months Will Be Critical for Dominic Moore
February 20th, 2016 Rangers fourth-line center Dominic Moore is an Unrestricted-Free-Agent after this season, and the team will soon need to make a decision on what to do with the 35-year-old forward. This is his third year with the Rangers since returning to the NHL. The center has been a key defensive player for the club, and depth point producer. The...
Paille Is Fitting in Well with the Rangers
February 15th, 2016 Daniel Pallie was picked up mid-season by the New York Rangers to add some depth to the club, and help their dreadful penalty-kill. After 10 games, he's seen his game improve and the veteran forward seems to be finding some chemistry with his line-mates, Dominic Moore, and Tanner Glass. Pallie has been getting into every game with Rick...
Rangers Tanner Glass Ready To Drop Gloves With Simmonds
February 10th, 2016 Philadelphia Flyer Wayne Simmonds gave New York Rangers captain Ryan McDonagh a concussion-causing sucker punch on Feb.6 in an eventful NY-Philly matchup. The Rangers lost their captain due to a confirmed concussion and will be without him indefinitely. This has caused some stir through the team, as Simmond's was not punished for the...
Tanner Glass Has Been Excellent Since Being Recalled
December 24th, 2015 Tanner Glass became a whipping boy in New York by struggling to produce out of the gate after signing a three-year contract that holds a cap hit of 1.4 million dollars per year. In his second season the forward was sent to Hartford, and was all but forgotten, until he found his way back, due to an injury to Rangers center Derek Stepan....
Hello Brooklyn, Meet Tanner Glass
December 2nd, 2015 The New York Rangers have recalled pugilist Tanner Glass to the NHL from the Hartford Wolf Pack of the AHL, the team announced on Wednesday. The Rangers have suffered a couple of injuries to significant players over the last week, losing Derek Stepan for four-to-six weeks with a couple broken ribs and Kevin Klein for two-to-three...
Rangers Waive Tanner Glass
October 21st, 2015 UPDATE: Glass has cleared waivers and has been assigned to AHL Hartford. In a move that they probably should have made long ago, the New York Rangers have placed winger Tanner Glass on waivers, according to Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman and TSN's Bob McKenzie, and later confirmed by the Rangers. The primary motivation appears to be...
