In a somewhat surprising bit of news, the New York Rangers extended Alain Vigneault through 2020. This fanbase does tend to divide itself like oil and water on key subjects. Dan Girardi. Henrik Lundqvist. And, of course, Vigneault. I’ve been highly critical of Vigneault in this space. It’s

Well that NHL Trade Deadline sure was ... something. On the podcast last night I mentioned it had to be the most boring deadline of my life. The bigger moves happened the two days leading up, but overall there wasn’t activity in the league. A lot of teams that stood

No notes from the game last night. You don’t want them anyway. Instead we’re in full trade deadline mode. Wooo! The New York Rangers couldn’t sit pat. Pat of that might have been Kevin Shattenkirk going to Washington — making them late NHL favorites for the Stanley Cup.

* That game was interesting to say the least. The Rangers went from all out domination the first 40 minutes to getting their teeth knocked out the next 10 minutes and then managing to pull out a win in overtime. Antti Raanta gave up two very soft goals, Adam Clendening saved

So the Kevin Shattenkirk stuff is sort of heating up. This week it was reported he nixed a deal with Tampa Bay because he wouldn’t sign an extension. Similar stories have surfaced from Edmonton and Arizona. The latter two matter not to me, since they’re problem-children organizations right

It’s trade deadline season, yo. In fact, we did an entire podcast on the trade deadline possibilities last night; going over Cody Franson, Kevin Shattenkirk and our biggest rumor fears. It was good. You should listen to it. That’s why this is blue. There was some dissent on

* I thought that, for the most part, that was a very good hockey game played by two teams who have fanbases who think they’d have a walk in the park if they happened to meet each other in the first round rather than anyone else in their division. * The

As we approach the March 1st NHL Trade Deadline the rumor machine will begin to spin and whir at an ever-increasing volume until it becomes overwhelming. It’s already started to an extent with everyone’s favorite New York Rangers rumor Kevin Shattenkirk. There’s been a longstanding “secret” that
