More New York Rangers Information

The New York Rangers faired pretty well in the 2006-07 season, finishing 3rd in the fiercely competitive Atlantic Division. But fans can barely contain their excitement over changes made in the off season that promise to make the Rangers tough to beat in the 2007-08 season. Adding forward powerhouses Scott Gomez (from the New Jersey Devils) and Chris Drury (from the Buffalo Sabres) and re-signing Sean Avery, Henrik Lundqvist, Brendan Shanahan and Petr Prucha has left GM Glen Sather feeling very pleased with himself. Now all you need are tickets to Madison Square Garden to watch the New York Rangers go all the way to the playoffs in the 2007-2008 season!

Reaching both the 2005-06 and the 2006-07 NHL Playoffs, the New York Rangers could hearken back to a storied history of postseason playoffs. The franchise had previously made it into the tournament 48 times, dating back to 1926. They had won possession of the Stanley Cup four times, although the most recent year for that was 1993-94. This was not be the year for that, however, as the Rangers were swept out of the playoffs in the first four games by the New Jersey Devils.
