New York Rangers Alternate Jersey Information Revealed
National News Source:Bleacher Report - New York Rangers - September 4 12:23 PM EDT
According to SNY Rangers Blog and icethetics.info, the New York Rangers' new alternate jersey design has been revealed. Here is the leak coming straight from icethetics:
"Icethetics has discovered that the Rangers will wear a navy blue third jersey, with NEW YORK emblazoned in red, diagonal text down the front. However, it's not the typeface we're used to seeing on the Rangers. It's more of a "retro" font, if you will—straight (not italic) with a vintage white stroke on the letters.

New York Rangers: Lost in The Frenzy—Who Else Did The Rangers Sign This Summer?
National News Source:Bleacher Report - New York Rangers - September 4 08:42 AM EDT
Free Agency is like another holiday for hockey fans. It’s the time in which general managers around the NHL sign big-name players to big-time deals.Glen Sather has made a few big signings himself this summer, including Alexander Frolov, Derek Boogaard, Tim Kennedy, and others. But during this same offseason, he has acquired smaller players such as Jeremy Williams and Jyri Niemi. I didn’t want all of these smaller signings to be forgotten by Rangers fans, so here is a list of the few ... Read More »

New York Rangers: What Will Be Their Next Move This Off-Season?
National News Source:Bleacher Report - New York Rangers - September 3 08:30 AM EDT
So far the Rangers have made seven major acquisitions this off-season (Mats Zuccarello-Aasen, Martin Biron, Derek Boogaard, Steve Eminger, Alexander Frolov, Todd White, and Tim Kennedy); and with the addition of Tim Kennedy on Monday the Rangers own nine forwards with one-way contracts, and a total of 14 forwards on their roster who played in the NHL last season. A NHL team usually only holds a total of 12 forwards in the NHL, which means the Rangers are two forwards over the average limit.

Last season, as we all know, the Rangers failed to reach the playoffs for the first time since the lock-out in 2004; leaving players and fans to imagine what it would’ve been like had Olli Jokenin scored in the shoot-out, and the Rangers go on to win later in the penalty shot period. The question Ranger fans will be asking themselves this season is, “will the Rangers make the playoffs?” and “how will they fair after making the playoffs?” I already have my own answer...

National News Source:Bleacher Report - New York Rangers - August 31 07:57 PM EDT
On September 23, the New York Rangers will hit the ice against the New Jersey Devils for their first pre- season game.
As of right now, they will be going into that game without their young star defender, Marc Staal. Although there is still plenty of time to sign him and make other moves, the Rangers are at a stand- still with Staal and one has to wonder if he is worth it.
If the Rangers sign Staal, their defense is still no better than it was last year and that was like watching a... Read More »
NHL Analysis: the New York Rangers' Present, Future
National News Source:Bleacher Report - New York Rangers - August 31 05:51 PM EDT
The New York Rangers signed Tim Kennedy yesterday to a one-year deal worth $550,000.
Last year while playing for the Buffalo Sabres, Kennedy tallied 26 points, 10 goals, and 16 assists.
The 24-year-old winger is 5’10", 176 lbs, although small in size, Kennedy does like to take the body of the opposition.
He brings speed and has a very quick release.

Over the years he’s spent in New York he has made terrible moves such as trading Brian Leetch and Adam Graves, deciding not to resign players like Mark Messier and Jarmoir Jagr, to instead sign players like Bobby Holik, Pavel Bure, Wade Redden, Michael Rozsival, Chris Drury, and Scott Gomez to bogus contracts.
