Wolf Pack Sign Chris Ferraro to PTO
Press Release
Hartford Wolf Pack general manager/head coach Jim Schoenfeld announced that the team has signed forward Chris Ferraro to a professional tryout (PTO) agreement, effective Friday, November 17th.

A veteran of 12 years of professional hockey, Ferraro played last season in Germany, skating in 42 games for DEG Metro Stars Dusseldorf and amassing six goals and 22 assists for 28 points, along with 134 penalty minutes. The 33-year-old Ferraro’s last North American pro stint was with the AHL’s Syracuse Crunch in 2004-05, during which he played in 24 games and notched seven goals and seven assists for 14 points and spent 50 minutes in the penalty box.

Originally drafted, along with identical twin brother Peter, by the New York Rangers in the 1992 NHL Draft (fourth round, 85th overall), Ferraro has played in 74 NHL games during his career (7-9-16, 57 PIM), 14 of those with the Rangers (2-1-3, six PIM). The Port Jefferson, NY native has also seen NHL time with Pittsburgh, Edmonton, the New York Islanders and Washington. In 457 career AHL contests with Binghamton, Hamilton, Providence, Albany, Portland, Springfield and Syracuse, Ferraro has totaled 176 goals and 261 assists for 437 points, along with 901 minutes in penalties. While with Portland in 2002-03, he was the co-winner (with Manchester’s Eric Healey) of the league’s Fred T. Hunt Memorial Award, for sportsmanship, determination and dedication to hockey.

The 5-8, 175-pounder spent most of the first three seasons of his pro career (1994-97) in the Ranger organization, before being claimed on waivers by Pittsburgh prior to the 1997-98 campaign. Ferraro enjoyed his best season as a pro in 1995-96 with the Binghamton Rangers of the AHL, leading the team in assists (67) and finishing fourth overall in the league in that category. He also ranked second to brother Peter in team points that season with 99, and that was good for sixth in the AHL.

The Wolf Pack return to action this Wednesday, November 22nd, as they kick off the Thanksgiving long weekend with their first look at the new Worcester Sharks (7:00). The Pack will then head to Providence on Friday for a match-up with the Bruins (7:05), followed by the fourth installment of the 06-07 GEICO Connecticut Cup at home against Bridgeport on Saturday (7:00) and a road trip to Worcester to rematch with the Sharks on Sunday (4:00).

Individual tickets for Wolf Pack games are on sale now at the Hartford Civic Center Box Office and all Ticketmaster locations, including Macy’s at the Buckland Hills Mall and at the Westfarms Mall. Tickets may also be charged by phone at (860) 525-4500, (203) 744-8100, (203) 624-0033 or (413) 733-2500 or online at http://www.Ticketmaster.com. Season tickets, five, 10 and 20 game packages and group tickets are now available. Contact 860-548-2000 for more details.

These twins first came up with the NYR organisation . Now, twin brother Peter is playing for the Islanders. How about that ? Imagine brothers facing each other in that rivalry ? :eek:

thats crazy !

After tonight, we have to wait till Saturday for the next game- lets hope we can skate away with 2 regulation points.

I missed the game, too busy going out on a date! But I managed to check the score on my cellphone while she was in the bathroom and was shocked to see it was 4-0. Way to go!

Also pissed it was on Vs., as I was looking forward to watching it on Rangers in 60. Oh well. Next time.

LETS GO RANGERS!!!

ORTMEYER FULLY RECOVERED FROM PULMONARY EMBOLISM
11/21/2006

Rangers President and General Manager Glen Sather announced today that right wing Jed Ortmeyer has been cleared to start non-contact practice.

Extensive medical testing has shown that Ortmeyer has fully recovered from a pulmonary embolism that was diagnosed on August 13, 2006.

Ortmeyer, 28, skated in 78 games with the Rangers during the 2005-06 season, registering five goals and two assists, along with 38 penalty minutes. He ranked first among team forwards and seventh among all NHL forwards with 75 blocked shots.

what they dont tell us is that his his second or third PE .
I hope he makes it back okay, with no further complications.
When he finally makes it back up to the big club , i believe he will instantly impact the team- he is a high energy guy .

Yeah, thanks! I may miss tonight's game as well if I go out with the girl again. I don't know, may not be such a bad thing, I miss a game, they win! Although what a game last night. With 2.2 seconds left, Straka buries the puck after a brilliant defensive move and rush up ice. Fantastic. Hope the momentum carries into tonight against the Sabres, and definitely into Tuesday against Atlanta. Not only will I be at the game, but its my birthday, so they have to win on my birthday!

LETS GO RANGERS!!!

Bathgate66 · November 2006

nice game- finally snapping a 3 game losing streak against the Penguins. Plus, no Sid Crosby out there.
we have been taking some really ridiculous penalties lately, and offering up way too many 5-on-3 s let alone 5-on-4s .
we were very lucky they didnt capitalize on all of those.

Lets Go Rangers.

Bathgate66 · November 2006

the f'n refs put the whistles in their pockets if it involved a NYR powerplay- thats for sure.

Cullen, Straka both get intefered with and our Ace Jagr gets pulled down by the pants and tackled- but consistantly

no whistles.

And once again, even tho a crazy deflection wins it in front , is it just coincidence that Ozolinsh is his as usual self skating around in front of Henrik- nowhere even close to any white jersey whatsoever.

and again shorthanded way way too much .

again, only 1 point to buffalo , but why cant we get 2 regulation points against them. Next week is already the final meeting of these 2 teams- another scheduling blunder.

SHANAHAN BLOWS WHISTLE ON REFS
By LARRY BROOKS

BRENDAN SHANAHAN
Screaming mad.November 27, 2006 -- The Rangers were shorthanded 10 times for 16:22, but it wasn't any particular call against the Blueshirts that sent Brendan Shanahan off the Garden ice in a rage last night, but rather the interference call that was not made against the Sabres when the winger was picked by Jason Pominville on the Buffalo game-winner at 1:36 of overtime.

"Shame on me for staying on my feet," Shanahan, who needed 15 minutes to compose himself before meeting with the press, said facetiously after the Rangers' 3-2 defeat. "But what do I know?"

Shanahan knows enough to be considered the NHL's most influential player regarding the post-lockout change in rules interpretations. He sits on the competition committee. He thinks before he speaks. This is why his indictment of referees Gord Dwyer and Mike Leggo is sure to receive careful consideration when it reaches the ears of the NHL hierarchy,

Someone asked Shanahan whether he had received an explanation after the final non-call helped Chris Drury get the winner on a deflection. Shanahan, who left the ice screaming at Leggo, chose his words purposefully.

"The guys tonight were a little bit above giving explanations," said No. 14. "Instead, they made a face like they ate a lemon and [gave] a wave of the hand.

"The league has done so much the last few years to eliminate the old mentality of [referees] not talking to players and waving players away. It's kind of disappointing that with the improvement in communication under [director of officiating] Stephen Walkom, that I didn't feel that way tonight."

The officiating was laughable last night, but the Rangers committed enough blunders on their own in falling behind 2-0 before Martin Straka - brilliant game in and game out - scored twice to pull his team into overtime that they might want to take a glance into their mirrors, too.

The Blueshirts turned the puck over repeatedly against a fast, puck-hunting team that is setting the bar in the East with a 19-3-2 record. They were shorthanded twice five-on-three for the second straight night. They failed on an extended five-on-three of their own for the second straight night. If not for Henrik Lundqvist's marvelous game, Shanahan never would have had the opportunity to leave the ice steaming at the officials.

"We cannot be shorthanded five-on-three the way we have been," said Jaromir Jagr. "To kill a five-on-four is OK, but we cannot take penalties when we are on the PK.

"We're slashing. We're high-sticking. These are mistakes that we can't have. They're going to kill us."

The Rangers have scored 18 goals in their last eight games. Seventeen of them have been scored by Straka, Jagr, Shanahan and Michael Nylander. Petr Prucha, who hasn't scored in his last eight games, was benched for shifts in both the second and third after inopportune giveaways.

The power play, 0-for-5 last night, is 0-for-15 in the last three games, 2-for-25 in the last five and 3-for-32 in the last seven. The five-on-three is an embarrassing 3-for-18 on the season.

"We don't practice it at all," said Jagr. "We're panicking."

The Rangers didn't panic last night. But they didn't take any steps forward, either.

"I thought we had the momentum, but when we scored the [second] goal we stopped playing," said Jagr. "When good teams get the momentum they go for it.

"We are not a good team yet."

Sabres 3 Rangers 2
