You know who was good? Olli Jokinen from 2005 through 2007

Marian Gaborik had his 10th career hat trick, rookie Chad Johnson made 34 saves for his first NHL win, and the New York Rangers snapped a five-game losing streak.

Larry Brooks of the NY Post reported this evening that winger Ales Kotalik(notes) "has left the Rangers after being told that he would be traded," which is diametrically opposed to TSN's report that the Rangers sent him home in preparation for a trade that may or may not come. He was with the team in Phoenix, but didn't accompany the Blueshirts to Denver for tonight's game against the Colorado Avalanche, for which he was listed as a "healthy scratch."Either way…

New York Rangers Marian Gaborik snaps team drought on the road after 200+ minutes of not scoring, but it's not enough to stop the skid

Saturday evening offered up some better efforts as at least we had players who did enough to earn some stars in their games. Still not all the news was good and it has done enough to make us wonder how these prospects are going to fare during crunch time. Tonight's First Star Scott Stajcer Scott Stajcer (2009 5th) got the start for his Owen Sound Attack and thanks to stopping 38 out of 40 shots earned a 3-2 win in overtime over the Guelph Storm

This Friday evening report was more about bad news than it is a happy report that we prefer doing. 3 Ranger prospects missed playing in their team's games as we have one confirmed injury, one very suspected injury and one we hope is just a healthy scratch. Then for the rest we have one goal for the entire evening to show for the prospect efforts.

from Larry Brooks of the NY Post, The Rangers’ deficiencies are on display every night. They do not have a playmaking center

After the New York Rangers lost to the Carolina Hurricane on Wednesday night attention started turning toward an organized effort by some fans to hold a "Fire Glen Sather" rally.
