Sounds as though Chris Drury is improving and may be inching his way toward a return - the Ranger captain is to be examined this afternoon by a team neurologist and if all goes well could cross a major hurdle toward rejoining the lineup. John Tortorella said he hasn’t spoken with Drury but did talk with trainer Jim Ramsay this morning and that “I guess (Drury) has had a number of good...
It’s one of today’s more pressing tasks for the Rangers, who buried themselves with breakdowns in the first two periods against Atlanta on Thursday and, because of that, came away with no points to show for one of their best periods of the season, when they took a season-high 18 shots in the third and dominated the puck. If this afternoon’s game against the Senators here in Ottawa...
Today I went to the Small Publishers Fair , an annual event which I based posts on last year and the year before . Among today's purchases was a Chris Drury book, Algonquin , on sale at Peter Foolen's stall. Peter publishes prints and books by some of this site's favourite landscape artists - Hamish Fulton, Thomas A. Clark, Roger Ackling. He has his own blog - recent posts feature Richard Long's huge...
Quick notes from practice, and then there’s a plane to catch, which should be a treat (high winds + tiny plane = fun fun fun). P.A. Parenteau got in just fine, though; he arrived this morning and was on the ice today, with Dane Byers having been sent back to Hartford - the idea being to give the offensively challenged Rangers a little something more, they hope, in the way of offensive ability....
Thrashers 5, Rangers 3: Henrik Lunqvist returned, but it wasn't enough for the Rangers, who lost without Chris Drury and Brandon Dubinsky. The former has a concussion and the latter has a broken hand. Not good. Artem Anisimov and Marian Gaborik helped erase two one-goal deficits, but the Rangers wilted after that. This was their first game back after a long road trip to Canada, and they've lost eight...
From Jim Cerny at NewYorkRangers.com: Last season, the Rangers had tremendous luck when it came to injuries, losing a remarkably low 31 manpower games to injury or illness. However, just six weeks into the 2009-10 campaign the Rangers have seen that last year’s good fortune regarding injuries has not carried over into a new season. Just one look at their last game in Calgary on Saturday night...
The Rangers were back on the ice Wednesday morning in Greenburgh after no skate the previous day to lick their various wounds. All were present and accounted for except injured center Brandon Dubinsky (broken hand) and captain Chris Drury, who coach John Tortorella acknowledged didn't "have a great day" after seemingly showing improvement earlier this week from the concussion he suffered...

Glen Sather is up here in Toronto for Brian Leetch’s Hall of Fame induction tonight, and said his plan is to sit tight with his roster and let the current crop fill the holes at center. With Chris Drury and Brandon Dubinsky injured in Saturday night’s game in Calgary, and Vinny Prospal capable of playing center, Sather pointed to Christopher Higgins as a player who should be able to step...
With both New York Rangers’ forwards Chris Drury (concussion) and Brandon Dubinsky (3-6 weeks) expected to miss some time, the team is all of a sudden real thin. According to Andrew Gross at Ranger Rants: Chris Drury (concussion) was in the building briefly and rode the stationary bicycle, which is a good sign. Coach John Tortorella would not rule him out for Thursday’s game against the...
Calgary's Curtis Glencross is banned three games for his check to the head of the Rangers' Chris Drury. Now Minnesota wants a ban for the Dallas player who knocked out Petr Sykora.
