A new year with a new voice from behind the bench, but for the Rangers, the same franchise goaltender with the same commitment to excellence. “I think you’ve got to look at short term,” Henrik Lundqvist said following the first work day of his 14th training camp for his fourth coach. “I think right now, […]
There was no easing into things for the Rangers, whose first day of work featured a series of challenging, combative small-ice drills punctuated by the expressive David Quinn’s instructions and exhortations. “It was about conditioning and it was about competing and obviously from a structural standpoint, D-zone coverage,” the freshman NHL coach out of Boston […]
There was a scary moment early in Sunday’s training camp practice, as Mika Zibanejad seemingly took a shoulder to the chin from Joey Keane in a battle drill and went down to the ice in a heap. As Zibanejad left for the locker room, it was hard not to think about his long concussion history […]

Whether Alex Georgiev’s development as a goalie this season is best suited as the backup to Henrik Lundqvist on the Rangers or as the possible starter for AHL Hartford is something the Blueshirts are going to have to decide by the end of training camp. But for now, the 22-year-old Bulgarian is just trying to […]
Boo Nieves did indeed suffer a concussion on the blow to the head he received from Eric Gryba midway through the third period of Monday’s 4-3 overtime preseason victory in Newark, and head coach David Quinn wasn’t exactly thrilled the Rangers did not respond to the New Jersey defenseman’s aggression. “It happened so fast, I […]
Four days into training camp, David Quinn is losing his voice. This is not a particularly good thing because this coach uses it quite a lot.
