MONTREAL — Not for a moment is this a road thing. Rather this is a Rangers’ thing, the team having lost four of its past five in regulation following another substandard performance in Saturday’s 5-2 defeat to the Canadiens. “We weren’t playing that great at home before we started with these road games,” said Chris […]

Another extra period, another crusher for the Devils. Mark Scheifele scored his second goal of the game at 4:43 of overtime, and the Jets beat the Devils, 4-3, Saturday night at Prudential Center in Newark. It was the Devils’ fifth straight loss — three of them in overtime. The Devils last won on Nov. 21, […]

The feelings of these sights and sounds cannot be replicated. No, the Coliseum never was the nicest venue. No, it wasn’t in the most desirable locale. No, it wasn’t always packed the way most want to remember it. But it uniquely belonged to one of the fiercest fan bases in sports, a small contingent of […]

The night belongs to Vic Hadfield, the guy who led the charge over the glass at the old Garden in 1965 when his general manager, Emile Francis, was at risk scuffling with a fan after the Cat had challenged a goal judge named Arthur Reichert for turning on the red light. “I had to go,” […]

MONTREAL — When Vic Hadfield is celebrated before Sunday’s match at the Garden against the Jets, his No. 11 will be raised to the Garden pinwheel ceiling. Who’s No. 11? “Mark’s No. 11,” as Hadfield referred to it at one point during a long and winding conversation with The Post last Thursday. “As badly as […]

There is no reason for Henrik Lundqvist to pull punches. So the Rangers goalie did not sugarcoat anything, didn’t try to build up his young teammates into believing they were any bit better than they really were. He told it exactly how almost everyone else saw it, that his Blueshirts were manhandled in a 4-3 […]

The saga of Brady Skjei’s diminishing confidence and how the Rangers are dealing with it continues. First-year head coach David Quinn made the 24-year-old defenseman a healthy scratch for the team’s 4-3 shootout loss to the Jets on Sunday night at the Garden. It was the third benching this season for the player whom the […]

These nights are bittersweet and tinged with melancholy. Oh, there is romance in the air, all right, but whenever the Rangers celebrate their heritage, whenever they raise an other-than-1994 banner to the sky, the absence of the flags that count the most are visible the way amputated limbs can create pain. It was Vic Hadfield’s […]

Regarding the Rangers, who will receive a reminder this week of the organization’s ongoing culture change. 1. Not only five days between games, but five days without a game leading into a swing through Florida that will feature matches in Sunrise on Saturday and in Tampa on Monday. In the good old days — all […]

SEA ISLAND, Ga. — The National Hockey League is expanding to Seattle. The NHL Board of Governors unanimously approved adding Seattle as the league’s 32nd franchise on Tuesday. Play will begin in 2021 to allow enough time for arena renovations. The as-yet-unnamed franchise will be the Emerald City’s first major winter sports team since the […]
