Your morning round-up of the latest from Blueshirt Banter, Rangers News, and updates from around the NHL
February 7th is a day that doesn’t have much history for birthdays with the Yankees’ organization. In fact, only three players born on that day have ever worn the pinstripes: combining for, essentially, one full season of MLB at-bats between them. There’s Frank Leja, who had seven combined at-bats with the Yankees from 1954-55 due […]

Ultimately, they opted not to. But that doesn’t mean El Marciano is guaranteed a big league roster spot in 2026. On Thursday in […]

The New York Rangers have already made one massive change by move Artemi Panarin to the Los Angeles Kings, and it sounds like some moves could be coming involving their core players, specifically, Vincent Trocheck. According to multiple reports, the Detroit Red Wings and Rangers could be working on a deal that sees Trocheck wind up in Motown.

The Artemi Panarin Sweepstakes are over, as we saw earlier this week, as the New York Rangers traded the pending UFA to the Los Angeles Kings . He then immediately signed a two-year extension with LA with an $11M AAV. We learned that on the morning of the trade, Panarin informed the Rangers that the Kings were the only team he would accept a trade to. But that doesn't mean that others didn't try. In fact, with a rich extension being one of his prerequisites for accepting a trade, there were fo...

Nothing quite helps corroborate that, as a trip down memory lane to the 2013 season, one in which […]
The Knicks’ win streak is now up to eight games, but it’ll be in serious jeopardy tonight against another formidable opponent.

Along with “Thrill of Defeat” host and Pittsburgh guy Dan Hopper, we remember Dick Tarnstrom, who turned getting waived by the Islanders into a starring role on some bad transitional Penguins teams.
