New York Rangers

By Dan Akeson Defenseman Michael Del Zotto will be the youngest Rangers defenseman to take the ice since Brian Leetch. The 19-year old was the Rangers first round draft pick in 2008. He can still be returned to his OHL London Knights. Wade Redden - Matt Gilroy Michal Rozsival - Michael Del Zotto

By Dan Akeson At this point in the preseason, it's likely that the Rangers know six of their seven defensemen. Returning from last season on the blueline are Marc Staal, Dan Girardi, Wade Redden, and Michal Rozsival. Add to that mix newcomers Matt...

 CA by Chris Gates (Scribe) During the past few off seasons your attempts at fixing the Rangers have been questionable at best. The signings of Chris Drury, Scott Gomez, Wade Redden and Michal Rozsival have not panned out as you had hoped. ...

 Canada While the Rangers' cap situation isn't quite as dire as their actual salary commitments (thanks to front-loaded contracts for Scott Gomez, Chris Drury, Michal Rozsival and Wade Redden) would make it seem, but it's not easy to build a contending team ...

By Jane McManus But Antropov did say the left knee felt “all right” and, given the way Tortorella brough Michal Rozsival back pretty quickly from his knee injury, seems inclined to play his best players as the playoffs are on the line in the last three games of the season.

By Jane McManus Defenseman Michael Sauer was recalled from Hartford this morning, which means that Michal Rozsival is not ready to go for tomorrow’s game against Minnesota. Rozsival, who had arthroscopic hip surgery last year, was injured in the second period of last night’s 2-1 loss to Ottawa at The Ga...

By Dan Akeson While looking at the roster, there isn't much space to merely tweak. A mid-range forward is not going to surpass the likes of Petr Prucha or Nik Zherdev. So, where do the Rangers improve? Can anyone say Jay Bouwmeester for Michal Rozsival, Nigel Dawes, Corey Potter, and a draft pick?

By Greg Wyshynski • Larry Brooks looks at how the New York Rangers would be affected by the addition of Mats Sundin, both with regards to the salary cap and team chemistry. If only someone was dumb enough to take either Wade Redden or Michal Rozsival off their hands ... that sound you just heard was Glen Sather look...

The three stars in the building here in Tampa Wednesday night were 1. Markus Naslund (two goals, plus a shootout goal); 2. Michal Rozsival (2 assists and a strong game at both ends of the ice); and 3. Artyukhin. Hard to argue with those three, except that I thought Fightin’ Nik Zherdev deserved a...

By Dubi The newly formed line of Zherdev and Markus Naslund flanking Brandon Dubinsky was again a big hit, with Naslund scoring both Ranger goals, assisted on both by Zherdev (as well as Michal Rozsival). Naslund and Zherdev capped off the evening by scoring shootout goals to make it a perfect fou...

By Greg Wyshynski • Larry Brooks freaks out about the state of the New York Rangers, wondering if there's any hope when the team relies upon shaky defensemen like Michal Rozsival and Wade Redden. For the record, Redden may actually have more turnovers than shots on the power play this season. [NY Post]

By Dubi Michal Rozsival was the obvious goat, committing the errors that led directly to the shorthanded odd-man rushes on which the Islanders scored. Wade Redden played the first rush poorly, Henrik Lundqvist wanted that second goal back, and coach Tom Renney blamed the other players who didn...

By Dubi One obvious factor is the goaltending of Henrik Lundqvist -- no one who has watched Wade Redden, Dmitri Kalinin, and Michal Rozsival play hot potato with the puck in their own end is going to ascribe the Rangers' defensive prowess to their blueline corps. You just can't underestimate the i...
