For reals, Ryan Callahan scored two goals on his birthday, No. 18 and 19 on the season as he turned 24.

“Personally, it was a good way to spend my birthday,” Callahan said. “It was a good birthday gift at the end, the empty netter.&…

Madison Square Garden needed about two hours to covert a basketball court into an ice hockey rink for tonight’s matchup with the Sabres (34-29-8, 76 pts.). The PSAL boys and girls basketball championships were held this afternoon.

So thanks to Nasty 1’s question I got to talking to people about watches, and found out that when Henrik Lundqvist signed his last contract, he gave the six Rangers trainers Breitling watches, the Chrono Superocean series. (From some Googling I s…

(Shhh…. Playoffs.)

Rangers coach John Tortorella doesn’t want to hear about it. He is trying to get this team to focus on the Sabres — on the first period specifically — and doesn’t want to talk about sixth spot or ninth…

Forget the almost goals in the loss to Philadelphia yesterday, the Rangers have another chance at the Flyers today at Madison Square Garden.

Every game from here on out has playoff implications.

Had they won yesterday, the Rangers could have been tied for fifth, but right now sit in eighth place. John Tortorella is 4-3-1 with the [...]

Here’s something that LA Times NHL writer Lisa Dillman wrote about the relationship between John Tortorella and Sean Avery. Torts had some not-so-kind words for Avery when he was a commentator for TSN, and has of course backed off of them now that he is coaching Avery. They seem to be getting along fine now—Avery [...]
