[size=+3]Bathgate First Popular Player to Wear # 9 [/size]
By Jess Rubenstein - Blueshirt Bulletin
Old-time Ranger fans and younger fans alike have all
wanted to see the number nine sent to the rafters of The
Garden , but different groups of fans want to see differ-
ent players to be so honored.The younger set remember Adam Graves.
But perhapsd the greatest Ranger to have ever worn that number was
Andy Bathgate.
The Hall Of Famer was one of the most popular
Rangers during his twelve seasons as a Ranger.From 1952
until his trade to Toronto late in the 1964 season.
Bathgate carried the Rangers through some the franchises
most dismal times.
As a Ranger, Bathgate was a goal scorer, a play-
maker , a fighter, a captain ,and a four time all-star.All the while
the rangers were a long suffering franchise, yet Bathgate gave fans
a reason to cheer.When he was traded to Toronto at age 31 for five
players ( a late season acquisition akin to todays rental players )
Bathgate won the sole Stanley Cup of his career.
Without realizing it , Bathgate helped to change the
game of hockey forever on November 1, 1959 .Credited as one of the
first developers of the slapshot, Bathgates hard shot struck
Montreal goalie Jacques Plante` in the face, opening a gash.Plante`
left the ice to get stitched up . When he returned, he was wearing
a mask to cover his stitches. All goalies now wear masks.
These days, we find the Winnipeg native living in
Brampton, Ontario, where he is the owner of a golf driving range
in nearby Mississauga . The range isa popular place, holding up to
two hundred golfers at a time , including some who still come just
to see the celebrity owner.
One of the more important items on the Bathgate agenda
these days is to spearhead a drive to have his teammate Dean Prentice
elected to The Hockey Hall Of Fame. Bathgate does not ask much of
Ranger fans, but he hopes they will help him here, as Prenmtice is
a dear friend of his. Let Bathgate tell you why he thinks his old friend
deserves a place in The Hockey Hall Of Fame :" Dean was a quality person,
an clean player who was overshadowed by many during the six team era.
Today, Dean Prentice is a minister who talks to young players and
tries to help them . "
Bathgate is still involved in hockey, even at age 74,
He always believed hockey was good to him, so it remains important
for him to give back to the game. Whether it is teaching young
players how to choose the right stick, how to position their hands
on the stick, or how to read a player just by how he controls
his stick, Bathgate is a highly regarded professor of hockey.
He still follows the game closely .He enjoys watching
Pittsburghs Sidney Crosby( Bathgate scored the very first goal
in Penguins history on October 11, 1967 ) and he believes referees
call too many cheap penalties. " You must have contact in the game",
he says, a mantra repeated just as one would expect from one of
the most feared fighters of his time.
Bathgate , who founded the very first hockey school,
has a grandson, Andy Hampton, who he says is going to be quite
the player.
He is unfortunately,forgotten by many of todays Ranger
fans. Younger fans who think seven seasons without playoffs is
tough should consider that the Rangers missed the playoffs twelve
times from 1951 to 1966 in a league where 4 of 6 teams qualified
-- and the four times they did make it, they were eliminated in
the first round.
It was a rough time to be a Ranger fan, but they had
Andy Bathgate to cheer for as he gave it his all on every shift,
in every game.In 719 games as a Ranger, he had 272 goals & 457
assists, along with 444 penalty minutes , totals that would
have been even higher had he played with more competitive teams.
He led the Rangers in scoring eight times, was their
leader in goals four times . He tied for the league lead in
scoring in 1961-62.From December 15 to January 15th of that
season, Bathgate did what no other Ranger has ever done
-- score a goal in ten consecutive games ( he scored 11 in that
span ) . He won the Hart Trophy in 1959 as the leagues most
valuable player and represented thew Rangers in eight
NHL All-Star games
When he was traded in 1964 , fans of that era felt
the same way latter day fans felt when Mark Messier
left after the 1997 season and when Brian Leetch was traded in
2004 . Many a fan was in a state of shock when the most popular
Ranger was sent away ( along with Don McKenney ) for five players,
including Rod Seilig, Bonb Nevin, and Dick Duff.It was the end
of an era for the four time winner of The Frank Boucher Trophy
awarded by the Rangers fanclub to the most popular player
and four time Ranger MVP.
The awards, the recognition , and the personal
accolades meant little to the team orientated Bathgate, which
explains why he is so dedicated to seeing a teammate like
Prentice elected to The Hockey Hall O)f Fame.
Bathgate played a total of seventeen NHL seasons,
amassing 349 goals and 624 points in 1,069 games. He went on to
coach in Switzerland, and the old WHA .But to Ranger fans
he will always remain one of the most popular players of all
time , one who should be in the Garden rafters , along with
another popular Ranger to wear the same number, number nine.

Deja Vu All Over Again
Stop me if you've heard this one before. Another 2-0 lead blown, another goal off the stick of Marek Malik, another 0-fer on the power play while the opposition gets back into the game on their power play, another knee injury. It's Groundhog Day, but without anyone ever figuring out how to change things for the better. The Rangers looked like world beaters in the first period and the Ottawa Senators looked more like the old Washington Senators, but you knew how this was going to end up -- you saw Detroit, Jersey, Columbus, Pittsburgh twice. The last five losses in a row (five of the last ten games) -- all after the Rangers were up 2-0. And this of course despite chances to extend the lead on the power play in the first period or to get the equalizer in the third period -- another recurring nightmare, especially with the Sens scoring just as their first man advantage expired and as play continued six seconds after the end of their second.
And then the game winnier off the stick of Malik -- the eighth goal out of the last twenty-one to go in off a Ranger, the third off Malik's stick. No one wanted to blame Malik for this one -- Henrik Lundqvist and Tom Renney both credit his reach with preventing more goals than he deflects in, and Renney pointed out a number of errors that preceded tonight's deflection (although he didn't specify as a contributing factor the use of Ryan Hollweg and Colton orr against Dany Heatley and Jason Spezza after five minutes of idleness and for only their second shift in over twenty minutes).
Then there is the injury du jour. Karek Rachunek sustained a sprained MCL in a knee to knee collision with Jason Spezza in the first period tonight. He will not return and will be evaluated tomorrow. With Fedor Tyutin, who suffered the same injury on March 1st, at least a week away (maybe two) from returning (he started working out on the bicycle today), the Rangers will have to call up a sixth defenseman from Hartford for their weekend games and beyond.For the ones who had a notion, a notion deep inside

New Defense Liffiton
LIFFITON RECALLED FROM PACK ON EMERGENCY BASIS
3/14/2007
New York Rangers President and General Manager Glen Sather announced today that defenseman David Liffiton has been recalled from the Hartford Wolf Pack of the American Hockey League (AHL) on an emergency basis.
Liffiton, 22, has collected one goal and 10 assists, along with 154 penalty minutes in 61 games with Hartford (AHL) this season. In Hartford’s 5-0 win on Sunday vs. Springfield, Liffiton registered an assist, posted a season-high plus-three rating and was named Third Star of the game. The 6-2, 210-pound defenseman currently ranks fourth on the Wolf Pack with 154 penalty minutes.
INJURY UPDATES: Defenseman Karel Rachunek suffered an MCL injury during Wednesday night's game vs. the Ottawa Senators and will undergo an MRI today to determine the extent of the injury. Brendan Shanahan skated with the team at practice today, but remains out indefinitely due to a concussion suffered on Feb. 17 vs. Philadelphia. Kevin Weekes also participated in practice today, but remains out day-to-day with a strained quadricep muscle that was suffered on Feb. 13. Marcel Hossa and Fedor Tyutin also remain sidelined. Hossa will be out three to four weeks due to a left MCL sprain suffered on March 5 vs. the New York Islanders. Tyutin sustained a left MCL sprain on March 1 vs. Pittsburgh and will be sidelined two weeks with the injury.
