  1. To all: Thank you for the editing help but, no, it is now Jesper Fast. The h has gone missing.
  2. #NYR sign 2010 sixth round pick Jesper Fast. The 20-year-old forward was playing in the Swedish Elite League.
  3. From Stanley Cup media day: Kings goalie Jonathan Quick says he watched Devs' Brodeur growing up but his favorite was #NYR Mike Richter.
  4. Ranger Rants: Breakup day need to know blogs.northjersey.com/blogs/rangerra…
  5. Stralman on the season: "It's been a hell of a ride." Sweden to Devils camp on tryout, back to Sweden to signing with the Rangers.
  6. Del Zotto says he has "no idea" what will happen with his contract negotiations as an RFA. "We're not talking yet."
  7. Fedotenko: "I'd like to come back but I have to take some time, evaluate and see what happens and go from there."
  8. Ruslan Fedotenko: "It doesn't matter you lose in the second round, you lose in the third round. You still lost.
  9. Brandon Prust said he'll have surgery to repair a tendon in his finger. Injured it fighting the Senators Konopka on Jan. 12
  10. Brandon Dubinsky: "I think this organization still believes me and I still believe in myself and I know what I'm capable of."
  11. Torts says Rangers didn't play enough minutes vs. Devils. Says he doesn't think Devils were better team, just playing better.
  12. Torts says the Rangers didn't get enough out of their "top players" during the Devils series.
  13. At this point, Torts says Rangers can't count on having Mike Sauer available to start next season.
  14. Mike Sauer was at the practice facility today. Torts says he's not where he needs to be to start offseason conditioning work.
  15. Torts says assistant Mike Sullivan very valuable to Rangers but "should be a head coach." Surprised he's been passed over for jobs.
  16. Brandon Dubinsky confirmed he suffered a high ankle sprain (at first, it was thought to be lower). Another 6-8 weeks to fully heal.
  17. Marian Gaborik said he was proud to have made it through season uninjured. Wouldn't answer when asked if he needed any offseason treatment
  18. Stralman said he'd like to play in NHL but it has to be a "family" decision. Sounds like family wants to move back to Sweden.
  19. Brandon Prust says money won't be only factor, wants to be back but acknowledges he may have a tough choice to make as an UFA.
  20. Brian Boyle says coming back in playoffs off a concussion was like "jumping on a speeding train."
