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....
Dane Byers has been suspended and John Tortorella fined coming out of Byers' fight late in the Rangers' 4-1 loss to the Canucks on Tuesday. The penalties are automatic - per NHL rules, when a player receives an instigator penalty in the last five minutes of regulation or at any time in OT, it's a one-game ban for the player and $10,000 out of the coach's pocket. So with Byers out for tomorrow's game...
New York Rangers forward Dane Byers was suspended one game for his role in a fight during the third period of Monday's game in Vancouver. The NHL announced the punishment Wednesday. Byers will forfeit $2,590 in salary to the Players' Emergency Assistance Fund. Rangers coach John Tortorella was fined $10,000 because one of his players was deemed the instigator of the altercation. His fine goes to the...
from Bob McKenzie of TSN, The New York Rangers-Vancouver Canucks brouhaha in the third period of Tuesday night’s game has players from both teams on the NHL’s discipline docket. Rangers forward Dane Byers was assessed an instigator penalty in a fight with Vancouver’s Tanner Glass in the final five minutes of the game (18:50 of the third period) and that calls for an automatic one-game...

The Rangers can't get Marian Gaborik back soon enough, but they have to be wondering where they can get him back soon at all. On a day Gaborik tested his injured right leg in the morning and said it just didn't feel right, the Rangers put on an attack that took you back to 2008-09, barely getting a sniff over the first 40 minutes (save for Dane Byers, the Hartford call-up of the night and the latest...
Bobcats 102, Knicks 100 (2 OT): A rally from a 21-point deficit and a 14-point margin at the start of the fourth quarter didn't give the Knicks anything more than a moral victory. They didn't lead until the second overtime, but some shaky defense gave the game to the Bobcats. Chris Duhon played 55 minutes. Danilo Gallinari had 16 off the bench, and Nate Robinson had 17 before fouling out. David Lee...
Scratch Marian Gaborik from the Ranger lineup for the first time this season, meaning the Rangers may have to tap some new sources for a little finish. P.A. Parenteau, the AHL’s leading scorer with eight goals in nine games, arrived from Hartford last night and will take the open spot on right wing, while Donald Brashear stayed on for extra skating this morning and will be the healthy scratch....
Penguins John Curry knows why he's probably not going to be playing in the NHL this season . -If you have at least $265.01 laying around, you can have Joe Haddad's game-worn jersey from last weeks' Black-Gold scrimmage. All the jerseys from the game are being auctioned . -Chris Cloud and Blair Yaworski scored goals for the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins in a 4-2 preseason loss to the Binghamton Senators...
