Quick take on the Rangers-Lightning game in the Czech Republic and the Penguins-Senators tilt in Sweden. - The Blueshirts-Bolts matchup was kind of dull. That’s not likely to impress fans of either club but I honestly didn’t find it a very entertaining game. Might’ve been the ice conditions, I’m not sure, but it just seemed to lack energy in long stretches, although the excitement level increased late in the game when the Rangers Brandon Dubinsky scored on a screen shot to snap a one-all tie and ultimately proved to be the game winner. The Czech fans seemed to sit on their hands throughout most of this, at least that's how it came across on television. That’s not to say they weren’t supportive but they certainly didn’t have the noise factor of the Swedish fans. At least the Rangers didn’t scratch Czech winger Petr Prucha as rumored, perhaps over fear of a backlash? Fellow Czech Michal Rozsival wasn’t much of a standout on the Rangers blueline except an early first period giveaway that resulted in a good scoring chance by the Lightning. I can’t help but feel the fans would’ve been more into it had Czech stars Jaromir Jagr and Martin Straka returned with the Rangers this season. Jagr is now playing for Avangard Omsk of the KHL after failing to reach a deal with the Rangers (and has 17 points in fourteen games thus far) while Straka was not signed as a UFA and is now playing in the Czech Extraliga. Had Jagr been there I think the ... Source: msn.foxsports.com --- 5 days ago
Markus Naslund came through in his debut with the New York Rangers even though he wasn't the star Czech fans had hoped to see. Signed in the offseason to replace Jaromir Jagr, Naslund scored a goal and Brandon Dubinsky added another in New York's 2-1 win over the Tampa Bay Lightning on Saturday, when the NHL opened its regular season in Europe for the second straight year. "I didn't replace Jaromir I don't think anyone can," Naslund said. ...

The Rangers are 2-0 and on their way back from Prague, a trip that was once a great idea when Jaromir Jagr was on the roster. Now, more importantly, the question is whether Gary Bettman will commit to the Olympics long term, without constantly threatening to review the issue on a Winter Games-by-Winter Games basis. There is no question whatsoever that the Olympics offer a perfect stage for the NHL’s stars, and that the league ought to do whatever is necessary to make it work. The games in Torino weren’t quite as breathtaking as the ones in the past, but then the cyclical nature of the sport will create a different pace for every Olympiad. What matters is that for these pros, there is rhythm to the preparation. The NHL All-Star Game, we all know, is one of the great bores in sports and ought to receive the lowest of priorities. Like the NBA All-Star Game, it exists only for corporate sponsors and a few broadcast bucks. In reality, it is a lousy, half-hearted advertisement for the sport. If the league wants to impress the global market, then there is no better way than the exposure and passionate play at the Olympics. I have a feeling that if the U.S. or Canada wins the gold medal in Vancouver 2010, there will be enormous pressure on Bettman to embrace the event. But if the Swedes win, he might not be so receptive to the 2014 Games in Russia. *** Speaking of Prague, my dual citizenship application to the Czech Republic is still in l ...

Season opens today: Sidney Crosby will lead a new-look Pittsburgh team in front of a new audience when the NHL starts its season in two European cities. “In the last couple of years we probably didn't start amazing, but decent enough to stay with the pack,” Crosby said ahead of two season-opening games against the Ottawa Senators in Stockholm today and Sunday (2:30 p. m.). The NHL is returning to Europe this weekend with regular-season openers in both the Swedish and Czech capitals. In Prague, the New York Rangers take on the Tampa Bay Lightning today and Sunday (noon). The games are on Channel 5 today, and on Versus on Sunday. The Rangers named Chris Drury captain at a team dinner Friday. He replaces Jaromir Jagr, who now plays in Russia. Drury served as cocaptain of the Buffalo Sabres with Danny Briere. ...

PRAGUE - Czech superstar Jaromir Jagr is red-hot to start the 2008-09 season, though the setting of his early success is causing grief in this city where he is most idolized in the world. ...
There are a lot of new faces around the team this year. Jaromir Jagr's Broadway run is over. Gone too is "The Grate One," Sean Avery, along with Marty Straka, Brendan Shanahan (barring a miracle), and Marek Malik (hold your applause, please). Into the fold come the likes of Markus Naslund, Nikolai Zherdev and Wade Redden. And then, having nothing to do with the team's Stanley Cup chances this season, there's me. And I couldn't be more thrilled to be here. My name is Michael Obernauer, and I'm the Daily News' new man on the Ranger beat. I take over from John Dellapina, who left the paper after a decade and a half and was only the best hockey writer in New York. Now that John has moved on to his new digs in the NHL offices, I'm among his many readers who wish him every bit of continued success in this new stage of his career. He set the bar way up high at The News. But it's a new season, and like so many of the players I've spoken to over the past couple weeks, I'm ready to get after it. Just a short bit about myself: Growing up in New York City, I spent more time than a kid probably should watching hockey from the blue seats at the Garden. I may not go as far back as the GAG line, but I can recall a time when the blue seats were actually blue, the Chief was roaming the halls, Messier was just a really good Oiler and 1940 wasn't a year, it was a four-letter word. Through that time, Ranger fans have stayed pretty much the same: passionat ...
“C” is for Chris Drury - good enough for you? Surprising no one, the Rangers announced today that Chris Drury would wear the captain’s ‘C’ when the Rangers hit the ice tomorrow to open the season in Prague against Tampa Bay, with Scott Gomez and Markus Naslund wearing the A’s as alternate captains. Drury succeeds Jaromir Jagr and becomes the 25th captain in Rangers history - yet another dream come true for the 32-year-old from Trumbull, Conn. And really, could it have been anyone else? When the Rangers decided to let Jagr go this summer, they handed the helm over to Drury and Scott Gomez, their two big acquisitions of a summer before, so Gomez would’ve been the other logical candidate for the letter. But all it takes is one look at the Rangers’ last preseason game - an emotional comeback victory over Euro champ Metallurg Magnitogorsk on Wednesday in Bern - to see why Drury is the guy. He tapped in the 5-on-3 goal in the last minute of the second period that got the Rangers on the board after they’d fallen behind 3-0; his fiery reaction to scoring included skating back to the Ranger bench and barking at his teammates. It certainly woke them up: they picked up their hitting and dominated the game from there, scoring three times in the third, with Drury camping out in front on a power play and tying the game on a rebound goal, before Ryan Callahan won it with 21 seconds left.

The NHL season hasn't even really started yet, but the Tampa Bay Lightning already have two losses. That's the same number of losses my rec league hockey team has and we didn't even have to go to the Czech Republic to earn them. (Heck, we don't even have uniforms.) The New York Rangers are the beneficiaries of this comeuppance, taking the early two game series in front of two Ranger-friendly sold out Prague crowds. Of course, they were Ranger-friendly and sold out partly because no bothered to tell the Czechs that Jaromir Jagr doesn't play for that team anymore. Meanwhile in Stockholm, Ottawa and Pittsburgh split their two games series, a 4-3 OT win to the Penguins in game one and 3-1 to Senators in the other. Dany Heatley has three goals so far for the Sens, earning him the title of Champion of European NHL Scoring. All four of those games were sold out too, making this whole European vacation a raging success—unless these teams lose 7 of their first 10 games the way the Ducks did last season after they opened in London. In which, case screw you, Earth, and your stupid rotation. But otherwise, look for many more across the pond games in coming seasons, because ... why the heck not? Hockey pucks are certainly more welcome than Robo-Jason Taylor. Now hockey fans (and yes, it may not seem like it right now, but we count ourselves among that group. The NHL just doesn't make it easy for us) must sit patiently and wait for the real se ...

The Rangers are opening their season in Prague this weekend with two sold-out games against the Tampa Bay Lightning. The Islanders and Devils open up against each other next week. For all three teams, the expectations are very different. The Devils enter the season with a great top line and one of the greatest goalies ever in Martin Brodeur between the pipes. Beyond that there are plenty of questions. Bobby Holik is back which is a nice story, but he isn’t the player he was when he left. Brian Rolston should have a happier homecoming on that top line and New Jersey should be good enough to get into the playoffs, but probably not much more. The bad news on Long Island is that the Islanders are rebuilding again. The good news is that they are getting better. New coach, Scott Gordon, has installed a new system, which will take some time for the players to learn, but things seem to be headed in the right direction. Keep an eye on Kyle Okposo he could be a superstar very soon. After reaching the second round of the playoffs two-consecutive years the Rangers decided to rebuild their roster. Jaromir Jagr is gone, leaving the NHL for Russia, Shanahan is gone (fo ...
