I would kill to have Yorkie back. While we're at it I would love to have Norstrom back too. At least we have something to cheer for after all these years. I tell myself sometimes that I cursed the Rangers by moving out to California. I left the summer of '97... the last year we made the playoffs before the drought. At least we finally pulled it off last season... hopefully 1 of many better years to come... even bought me a Lundqvist Jersey... first one since Leetchie
August 12, 2006 -- After four big, bad playoff games, Petr Sykora's days as a Ranger are over. They may miss him more than they think.
The speedy winger with the speedier shot yesterday signed a one-year deal believed to be for $3 million as an unrestricted free agent with the Oilers, after a physical that included evaluation of his frequent groin injuries.
Sykora, who won the Stanley Cup with the Devils in 2000, came to the Rangers from Anaheim last January and pumped 16 goals and 31 points in 40 games for the Blueshirts. He disappointed them in their first-round sweep by New Jersey, failing to register a point while going a team-worst minus-5.
The Rangers had sought to sign Devil winger Patrik Elias, actually outbidding New Jersey, last month, but made their big plunge by signing Brendan Shanahan.
Only 29, Sykora was the Devils' first-round, 18th overall choice in 1995, and scored 35 goals and 81 points for New Jersey in 2000-01. He has played at least 73 games in each of his seven full NHL seasons.

NEW YORK (CP-AP) - New York Rangers right-winger Jed Ortmeyer has been diagnosed with a pulmonary embolism.
Ortmeyer, 27, is set to undergo further testing this week and will be out of action indefinitely, the team said Monday in a statement.
The six-foot, 190-pound forward Ortmeyer signed a deal last month worth just over $550,000 US for next season and was expected to resume his role as a key member of the Rangers' checking line. He had five goals and two assists in 78 games with the Rangers last season, and led the team with 75 blocked shots.
In 136 NHL games over three seasons, the native of Omaha, Neb., has seven goals and six assists.
A pulmonary embolism is a blockage of an artery in the lungs, most commonly caused by a blood clot. It can lead to severe illness or death if left untreated.

We can't conceive of the purpose of Jed Ortmeyer's agent insisting that the forward will be ready in time for training camp after having suffered a pulmonary embolism last week. Fact is, the 27-year-old Ranger winger, who had previously suffered an embolism as an undergraduate at Michigan, is unlikely to play at all this season.
Evgeni Malkin has every right to attempt to escape what is quite clearly an oppressive hockey establishment in Russia, but comparing him to people such as Alexander Mogilny and Petr Nedved who previously defected from communist regimes in the Soviet Union and Czechoslovakia trivializes the courage it took for No. 89 and No. 93 - and those like them - to leave their homelands.
Rangers were close last summer to signing defenseman Nate Guenin, their 2002 third-rounder out of Ohio State, but chose to allow him to become a free agent on Aug. 15 because they believe his style isn't suited for the new-era NHL. The Flyers, who signed the 23-year-old, 6-2, 210-pounder, obviously don't agree.

August 22, 2006 -- MSG Network has settled on Joe Micheletti as its top choice to be its Rangers TV analyst, The Post has learned.
If final negotiations end smoothly, then Micheletti will replace longtime Blueshirt analyst John Davidson starting next season. Micheletti has been the Islanders' TV analyst since the 1998-99 season. While he is expected to team with Sam Rosen, Howie Rose's new partner on Islanders' games is yet to be determined.
Though not many people saw Micheletti's analysis with the Islanders since their ratings on Fox Sports NY are miniscule - he is a very strong replacement for Davidson. He will need to be because over the past two decades Davidson developed a strong bond with Ranger fans.
A little more than six weeks ago, Davidson left Rangers TV to become the president of the St. Blues after former MSG head honcho, Dave Checketts, bought the St. Louis franchise.
Micheletti played in the NHL with the Blues and the Colorado Rockies (now the Devils). He has been a hockey analyst since 1985.
An MSG Network spokesman declined to confirm the news.

this guys good- we only saw him briefly- but he's broken the defenseman scoring record in Hartford ( 61 points ):eek:
RANGERS AGREE TO TERMS WITH THOMAS POCK
8/24/2006
New York Rangers President and General Manager Glen Sather announced today that the club has agreed to terms with restricted free agent defenseman Thomas Pock.
Pock, 24, spent a majority of the 2005-06 season with the Hartford Wolf Pack of the American Hockey League (AHL), registering 15 goals and 46 assists for 61 points, along with 99 penalty minutes in 67 games. He finished the season ranking second on the Wolf Pack in assists (46) and tied for fifth on the team in scoring with 61 points.
His 61 points ranked third among all AHL defensemen and also set a Wolf Pack franchise record for points in a single season by a defenseman. Pock also skated in six postseason contests with the Wolf Pack, notching three assists along with 15 penalty minutes. In addition, the 2006 AHL All-Star appeared in eight games with the Rangers, registering one goal and one assist, along with four penalty minutes.
The 6-1, 208-pound defenseman has appeared in 14 career games with the Rangers, registering three goals and three assists, along with four penalty minutes. In 117 career American Hockey League (AHL) games with the Hartford Wolf Pack, Pock has collected 16 goals and 51 assists for 67 points, along with 154 penalty minutes.
Prior to joining the professional ranks in North America, Pock appeared in 130 career games with the University of Massachusetts Minutemen (Hockey East), registering 44 goals and 58 assists for 102 points, along with 179 penalty minutes. He finished his U-Mass career tied for sixth on the school's all-time scoring list with 102 points.
As a senior at U-Mass, Pock was named a Hockey East First Team All-Star, was selected to the Hockey East All-Tournament Team and was tabbed a finalist for the Hobey Baker Award, given annually to the nation's top collegiate player. During his junior year, he was selected as a Hockey East Second Team All-Star and was also voted as the Minutemen's most valuable player.
Before attending the University of Massachusetts, the Klagenfurt, Austria native played for the Klagenfurt Athletic Club of the Austrian Senior League. He was also a member of the Austrian National Team at the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, Utah and at the World Championships in 2002, 2003, 2004 and 2005.
Pock was originally signed by the Rangers as a free agent on March 23, 2004.

After enjoying a revival season that ended on a sour note, the Rangers were looking to make a few changes during the offseason.
They made a smart, big-money pitch to lure Devils winger Patrik Elias on the first day of free-agent shopping. The Rangers couldn't get Elias to turn in his pitchfork, but they forced their cross-river rivals to spend to the limit to keep him. I guess that's the next best thing to getting such a good player.
In the past, the Rangers might have just moved onto the next big name on the market. In the "new" NHL, you have to be more careful how you spend your money. The Rangers seem to have figured that out.
Despite missing out on Elias, they did grab two key role players from the Stanley Cup champion Hurricanes, signing versatile forward Matt Cullen and stay-at-home defender Aaron Ward.
Cullen, who might have been the best forward during the Hurricanes' Game 7 Cup-winning victory over the Oilers, signed a four-year deal worth $11.2 million. Cullen, 29, is a good skater who can play center or wing. In Carolina, he also played the point on the power play. He figures to be a second-line player in New York.
Ward, a three-time Cup winner, accepted a two-year, $5.5 million deal. The Rangers might have overpaid a bit for the 33-year-old defender, but Ward does bring some much-needed toughness and big-game experience to the Big Apple.
The Rangers' most interesting free-agent acquisition came a little later in the summer. On July 9, the club signed another three-time Cup winner, Brendan Shanahan. The 37-year-old left winger, who signed a one-year, $4 million deal, scored 40 goals for the Wings last season.
Shanahan is a low-risk addition. If things don't work out, the club can cut ties after the season.
Shanahan's arrival should help the power play. I can see Jaromir Jagr setting up at the top
Shanahan's arrival should help the power play. I can see Jaromir Jagr setting up at the top of the right-wing circle, while Shanny works the top of the left-wing circle. Both guys are terrific at one-timing the puck from those positions. But who'll quarterback the power play and make those smooth passes to the two snipers? Will coach Tom Renney turn to Cullen? Would GM Glen Sather consider bringing back Rangers icon Brian Leetch (who remains on the free-agent market) to play such a role? Is young Fedor Tyutin ready for such an important job?
Another choice might be defenseman Karel Rachunek, who signed a one-year, $1.8 million deal after spending last season in the Russian Superleague. Rachunek, 26, has some offensive flair, but he probably isn't the club's first choice to quarterback the power play.
The Rangers also added a little size to the wing, acquiring 6-foot-3, 210-pound Adam Hall from the Predators. In 75 games with Nashville last season, the 25-year-old Michigan State grad scored 14 goals and dished out 15 assists.
Sather sacrificed role-playing pivot Dominic Moore (who wound up in Pittsburgh) to get Hall. He also allowed center Steve Rucchin, wingers Martin Rucinsky and Petr Sykora and defenseman Tom Poti to leave via free agency. Rucchin and Rucinsky were valuable contributors last season, but both missed time due to injury. Sykora didn't impress during his short time in New York, while Poti wore out his welcome with the fans. He was often, and sometimes wrongly so, singled out by the vocal home crowd for weak defensive play.

NEW YORK (CP-AP) - New York Rangers right-winger Jed Ortmeyer has been diagnosed with a pulmonary embolism.
Ortmeyer, 27, is set to undergo further testing this week and will be out of action indefinitely, the team said Monday in a statement.

New York Rangers President and General Manager Glen Sather announced today that the club has agreed to terms with restricted free agent defenseman Thomas Pock.
Pock, 24, spent a majority of the 2005-06 season with the Hartford Wolf Pack of the American Hockey League (AHL), registering 15 goals and 46 assists for 61 points, along with 99 penalty minutes in 67 games. He finished the season ranking second on the Wolf Pack in assists (46) and tied for fifth on the team in scoring with 61 points.
His 61 points ranked third among all AHL defensemen and also set a Wolf Pack franchise record for points in a single season by a defenseman. Pock also skated in six postseason contests with the Wolf Pack, notching three assists along with 15 penalty minutes. In addition, the 2006 AHL All-Star appeared in eight games with the Rangers, registering one goal and one assist, along with four penalty minutes.
The 6-1, 208-pound defenseman has appeared in 14 career games with the Rangers, registering three goals and three assists, along with four penalty minutes. In 117 career American Hockey League (AHL) games with the Hartford Wolf Pack, Pock has collected 16 goals and 51 assists for 67 points, along with 154 penalty minutes.
Prior to joining the professional ranks in North America, Pock appeared in 130 career games with the University of Massachusetts Minutemen (Hockey East), registering 44 goals and 58 assists for 102 points, along with 179 penalty minutes. He finished his U-Mass career tied for sixth on the school's all-time scoring list with 102 points.

They made a smart, big-money pitch to lure Devils winger Patrik Elias on the first day of free-agent shopping. The Rangers couldn't get Elias to turn in his pitchfork, but they forced their cross-river rivals to spend to the limit to keep him. I guess that's the next best thing to getting such a good player.
In the past, the Rangers might have just moved onto the next big name on the market. In the "new" NHL, you have to be more careful how you spend your money. The Rangers seem to have figured that out.
Despite missing out on Elias, they did grab two key role players from the Stanley Cup champion Hurricanes, signing versatile forward Matt Cullen and stay-at-home defender Aaron Ward.
Cullen, who might have been the best forward during the Hurricanes' Game 7 Cup-winning victory over the Oilers, signed a four-year deal worth $11.2 million. Cullen, 29, is a good skater who can play center or wing. In Carolina, he also played the point on the power play. He figures to be a second-line player in New York.
Ward, a three-time Cup winner, accepted a two-year, $5.5 million deal. The Rangers might have overpaid a bit for the 33-year-old defender, but Ward does bring some much-needed toughness and big-game experience to the Big Apple.
The Rangers' most interesting free-agent acquisition came a little later in the summer. On July 9, the club signed another three-time Cup winner, Brendan Shanahan. The 37-year-old left winger, who signed a one-year, $4 million deal, scored 40 goals for the Wings last season.
Shanahan is a low-risk addition. If things don't work out, the club can cut ties after the season.
Shanahan's arrival should help the power play. I can see Jaromir Jagr setting up at the top
Another choice might be defenseman Karel Rachunek, who signed a one-year, $1.8 million deal after spending last season in the Russian Superleague. Rachunek, 26, has some offensive flair, but he probably isn't the club's first choice to quarterback the power play.
The Rangers also added a little size to the wing, acquiring 6-foot-3, 210-pound Adam Hall from the Predators. In 75 games with Nashville last season, the 25-year-old Michigan State grad scored 14 goals and dished out 15 assists.
Sather sacrificed role-playing pivot Dominic Moore (who wound up in Pittsburgh) to get Hall. He also allowed center Steve Rucchin, wingers Martin Rucinsky and Petr Sykora and defenseman Tom Poti to leave via free agency. Rucchin and Rucinsky were valuable contributors last season, but both missed time due to injury. Sykora didn't impress during his short time in New York, while Poti wore out his welcome with the fans. He was often, and sometimes wrongly so, singled out by the vocal home crowd for weak defensive play.
