The Blueshirt Bulletin with: Rangers Hab Another Comeback in Them
The game was certainly an interesting note to end the year on for the Rangers. Coming off a blowout of the Leafs the night before they came out strong but faded quite a bit in the second period. It is nice to see the team has a little fight and the ability to come back when down. That instinct and drive is something that hasn’t always been there in recent years.
Lets hope 2008 starts like 2007 has finished for the Rangers.

Its déjà vu all over again.
The Rangers defenseman Michal Rozsival scores on the first shot on goal of the NHL season just 37 seconds into the game.
Last season Jaromir Jagr scored a goal on the first shot of the 2006-2007 season.
Not to be missed, off season acquisition Chris Drury getting his first point as a Ranger with an assist on the Rozy goal.
Its great to have hockey back.

Not DOM I, but Tie Domi.
Tie Domi set to announce retirement
The longtime Toronto Maple Leafs enforcer will officially make the announcement on Tuesday afternoon, a source told The Canadian Press.
Gonna miss him being in the league. He’ll always be one of my favorite Rangers even though he’s been one of /those/ Leafs for a decade. Always seemed to find his way into my FHL drafting too.
A sampling of some recent photos, bookmarks and news stories I've flagged elsewhere with this tag.
Over the years, a lot of people have been willing to throw up their arms in disgust at the behavior of New York Rangers left winger Sean Avery, who obviously knows something about throwing up his arms.
I guess I get why Sidney Crosby gets the benefit of the doubt. On one level, I even believe it's somewhat deserved.
Remember when the Rangers played the Sabres in the playoffs last spring and, even though the New York TV market is about a dozen times larger, more people watched the series in Buffalo? (Look in the second item of the column I just linked to.) It's amazing but true: in every ga …
All you need to know about what happened last night in the Garden in the Rangers' 4-3 shootout loss to the Islanders can be told by looking at four shots that hit the pipes instead of the net.
If you follow the Rangers, you're sure to have read Journal News beat writer Sam Weinman's blog, Ranger Report. Weinman is usually the one asking the questions, but we had the opportunity to turn the tables on him.
Goaltender Henrik Lundqvist will be a Ranger for the next six years.
Brian Leetch's teammates from his days with the Rangers love to tell the story of a game at Tampa Bay in 1999, watching Leetch block a shot by the hardest shooter in the league, Fredrik Modin.
The NHL is working with the Yankees' high command and representatives of the city to try to play a game at Yankee Stadium next winter. While there are plenty of logistical hurdles to clear, the principals are interested.
The good news, as the Rangers prepare for their Tuesday night meeting with Tampa Bay at the Garden, is that Tom Renney's sextet is right in the midst of the playoff battle. You want more good news? The Lightning resemble a team that has been hit by a bolt or two.
The hockey police were at it again this week, fretting and fussing because of injuries sustained by Matt Cullen as a result of an open-ice check he took from Colton Orr at the Garden on Wednesday while cutting across the Rangers zone carrying the puck with his head down.
Sixty five minutes and no goals. Three All-Star shooters and no goals. If the Rangers are going to do anything this year, they will need a better output than that. Yet, the top two Ranger lines are still not clicking, not on the power play [0-6] and not at even strength.
New York Rangers President and General Manager Glen Sather announced today that the club has acquired right wing Pierre Parenteau from the Chicago Blackhawks in exchange for a conditional seventh round draft pick in the 2008 NHL Entry Draft.
Russian superstar Alexei Cherepanov is out for the remainder of the Canada-Russia Super Series.

The Columbus Blue Jackets and free agent forward Michael Peca have come to terms on a one-year contract. Don Meehan, Peca's agent, confirmed to TSN that the deal will become official pending a physical with the club within the next few days.
Michael Peca wants to jump aboard the Rangers' bandwagon. He expects to find out today whether the feeling is mutual.
An arbitrator has awarded New York Rangers centre Sean Avery a $1.9-million salary for next season. Avery, 27, was seeking $2.6-million in arbitration after scoring 48 points in 84 games last season with the Los Angeles Kings and New York Rangers.
Matt Cullen, the Ranger, was an enigma from start to finish. I wish I had a dollar for every time I remarked to my colleague, John Giannone, that "I expect Cullen to break out with goals in the next game."
In the strongest Hockey Hall of Fame field in years, Mark Messier's coronation will probably be unanimous Thursday when the voting takes place in Toronto.
Tom Renney will not only get his first look on the ice Tuesday morning at Alexei Cherepanov, but the Russian first-round selection will be joined at the Rangers' prospect camp by countryman Artem Anisimov, last year's second-round pick whom the club is close to signing to a contr …
There are no doubts and there is no posturing. Brendan Shanahan yesterday unequivocally stated that he will play next season while at the same time declaring a complete lack of interest in testing the open market though he is eligible to become a free agent on July 1.
the Blueshirts are in a tough position as far as the 2007 NHL Entry Draft is shaping up. Unless the Rangers trade up into the Top 10, odds are they are not going to be in a position to draft one of the elite forwards.
Our first theme is rooted in the Rangers 2003 draft when they held the 12th overall selection. The Rangers used that pick on Dartmouth's Hugh Jessiman – passing up on 18 other players who have already made their NHL debuts.
The Ottawa Senators, a Canadian-based team in the Stanley Cup final, was awarded a goal last night after video review overtuned the referee's on-ice ruling that Daniel Alfredsson put the puck into the net with a distinct kicking motion.

Amazing genes and a strong work ethic demanded by Sudbury coach Mike Foligno have helped Marc Staal of the Wolves win the Max Kaminsky Trophy as the OHL's most outstanding defenceman.
Ten years after coaching the Rangers to the Eastern Conference Finals, Colin Campbell is again the toast of Broadway. Who would have believed it? Jagr with some great insight after the game:
If you're one of those conspiracy theorists, the ones who believe that the National Hockey League bends over backwards and ties itself into triple knots to bestow favour on large market teams in the playoffs because it's good for television ratings well we have three words for yo …
When Michal Rozsival's slap shot found the back of the net in the second overtime in the Rangers' 2-1 win Sunday, it not only gave the Blueshirts life in their series against the Buffalo Sabres, but it also prevented a controversy over an earlier disallowed goal by Rangers defens …
Sean Avery is trying to change the way people perceive him. No wonder. In a Hockey News poll this year, his peers voted him the NHL's most hated player.
It's back to Kari Lehtonen for game three in New York. Bob Hartley announced today after practice that he's returning to his young goalie, and expects him to play well on Tuesday in New York.

Nassau prosecutors opened a preliminary probe Friday into whether Islander Chris Simon committed a crime when he struck a Rangers player in the face with his hockey stick, a spokesman said.
The shift is still a blur for him, and, by his own admission, Brendan Shanahan is in new territory with the concussion he suffered last Saturday. But, he said he feels pretty good
Sports Quote of the Night: Glen Sather: "I'll tell you what, if Pittsburgh called and offered us [Sidney] Crosby tomorrow, I'd even throw in my left [testicle]."
Forty minutes into the game, it couldn't get much worse, but then it started to get better.
Do not adjust your TV set. There is nothing wrong with your picture. If you were watching Tom Renney's post-game press conference and your TV screen went white, there was nothing wrong on your end -- that was the steam coming out of the coach's ears that fogged up your screen.
