The Sabres Will "Host" The Rangers In The NYC Winter Classic For A Specific Tax Purpose

The NHL announced Tuesday that the Sabres and Rangers will play the 2018 NHL Winter Classic at the Mets’ stadium in Queens.

Ottawa Takes 3-2 Series Lead On Kyle Turris Overtime Goal

Jimmy Vesey’s heroics did not hold up as Ottawa tied up the Rangers with 90 seconds remaining in regulation and then scored 6:28 into overtime as Kyle Turris scored his third career playoff OT goal to give the Senators a 5-4 win and a 3-2 series lead.

The Rangers Are Too Much And Too Fast For The "Kanata Wall"

The Senators are not a fast team, or at least that’s not how they want to play.

The Rangers’s 4-1 pummeling of the Senators in Game 3 was maybe the most expected thing in the world. New York is almost certainly the better team to begin with in this series, and has played like the better team for long stretches of it.

Alexander Radulov Is Older, Wiser, And As Good As Ever

When Alexander Radulov got going, so did the Canadiens. Montreal’s 2-1 series lead over the Rangers has been driven by the 30-year-old winger’s five points in the last two games, including this absurd one-handed beauty to seal Game 3:

Neither MSG Security Nor A Hockey Game Can Stop Pro-Charles Oakley Chants

It’s been a full day since Charles Oakley got tossed out of Madison Square Garden and arrested following a fight with MSG staffers. Tonight, the building was back in use for an NHL game. The New York Rangers hosted and beat the Nashville Predators, 4-3, but the Knicks’ contentious handling of Oakley was still the…

Chris Kreider Bludgeoned Cody Eakin With His Own Helmet

The helmet: a useful tool for keeping your brains intact. Also, apparently a weapon?

Mike Smith Gives Up Five Goals, Breaks Stick

Coyotes goalie Mike Smith has been known to take out his frustrations on his stick, and he did so once again after letting five pucks into his net during tonight’s game against the Rangers.

Henrik Lundqvist Got His Mask Knocked Off By This Bone-Rattling Hit

Henrik Lundqvist got the Lund Qvisted right out of him by Cody Eakin in the first period of the Rangers’ game against the Stars tonight, losing his mask in the process. Eakin received a ten-minute penalty for his trouble, and Lundqvist was examined by a team doctor.
