* The New York Rangers might have a disappointing 1-3 record to start the year, but this loss and the loss to the Avalanche were somewhat unfortunate. In both contests the Rangers generated possession, scoring chances, and raw offense and just couldn’t finish. I know people don’t like to

In news we all knew was coming, Filip Chytil is no longer with the big club. After the acquisition of Adam Cracknell off waivers Monday, the New York Rangers have sent 18-year-old Chytil down to Hartford. In clarification of the nine-game rule — Chytil can play out the year in the

* You had to know something crazy was coming in terms of the lineup. Anytime Alain Vigneault admits to the media he’s “mulling something over” you know it’s going to be a special bend of crazy that we won’t figure out until the last minute. Sunday night was

For the final game of the preseason I always handle these reviews a little differently. I try to make out where I think players stand in terms of making the team itself. Enjoy.

Stock Going Way Up Filip Chytil — I’m not sure what else I can say about Chytil at this point. There’s gushing and then there’s just overwhelming. I created this heading simply to reiterate just how good he’s been. I would make the argument that he’s
