The 2020-21 season for the New York Rangers ended this week as they faced the Washington Capitals and the Boston Bruins. There were some surprises in store for players and fans alike, and everyone seemed to be on board the Tom Wilson hate train.
On Monday night, Capitals forward Tom Wilson punched Rangers player Pavel Buchnevich while he was in a defenseless position. Wilson then proceeded to slam Buchnevich’s protector, Artemi Panarin, which caused Panarin to miss the rest of the game, and most likely the remainder of the 2020-21 season.
The victory over the Buffalo Sabres gave the Rangers yet another three-game winning streak, keeping playoff hopes alive. However, as the week went on and they faced the New York Islanders for two games, those hopes slowly started to dwindle.
The 2020-21 National Hockey League campaign has brought with it many pleasant surprises. Which players have elevated their games to whole new heights, and which have flown under the radar? Here are my top-three under-the-radar feel-good stories thus far in 2020-21.
We can sit and talk about the glory days of Ottawa Senators hockey all day long. But by doing so, we are not recognizing the current talent displayed by the 2021 Senators.
The New York Rangers’ week was looking great until the games started. They had the misfortune of going up against a playoff contender, a team trying to get to the playoffs, and a team at the bottom of the division.
The NHL is in the latter stages of the regular season, and teams have made their choice of whether to go for the playoffs or stock up and try again next year. When the NHL made the new divisional alignment prior to the 2020-21 season, the Central Division was in for a fight.
As the NHL gears up for the 2021 Stanley Cup Playoffs, it is time to take a look at some big names set to hit free agency.
On April 19th, 2021, San Jose’s Patrick Marleau will set an NHL record. The Sharks’ game against the Vegas Golden Knights will be the 1,768th of his career. If that seems like a lot, that’s because it is.
After a grueling final 56 hours, which saw more than 40 players switch cities, the 2021 NHL trade deadline came and went. Some teams were deemed “winners”. Others were deemed “losers”. And some were “on the fence” sporting their best poker faces all day long.
Everyone knows the old saying about insanity. What if, instead of wanting a different outcome on each attempt, people wanted the same one. Is that still considered insane? Perhaps, but the New York Rangers never back down from a challenge.
Someone needs to tell the New York Rangers they’re in the wrong line. They’re standing in line for the roller coaster again when the line for the playoffs is to their right.
