ATLANTA – Building on the success of this season’s debut in London, the NHL will open the 2008-09 season with a pair of games in Europe.
On Oct. 4-5, 2008, the New York Rangers and Tampa Bay Lightning will play a pair of games at Sazka Arena in Prague, Czech Republic, while the Pittsburgh Penguins and Ottawa Senators will play two games on the same days at Globe Arena in Stockholm, Sweden.
But The Post has learned the embittered veteran Ranger defenseman refused Renney's handshake in the locker room after Tuesday night's 4-0 victory over the Thrashers and was scratched from last night's 2-1 shootout win over Atlanta for that reason.
Malik had stormed out of the arena in Edmonton on Jan. 5 after finding out he was a scratch, and has publicly indicated his bewilderment at intermittent lineup scratches. Scott Gomez laid into Malik for refusing Renney's common congratulatory courtesy after a win in which Malik actually played one of his best games of the season. The defenseman met with the coach yesterday morning and was expected to again on Monday, when the Rangers reconvene after the All-Star break.
Ennyire gyoker nem lehet, sajat magat dobatja ki a csapatbol.
Nagyon hianyzott az Atlantanak az egyetlen igazi gollovojuk, de ez legyen az o gondjuk. Ket pont a zsebben, ez a lenyeg, ja es az h a divizioban 3 csapat is kikapott.
Úgy tűnik még egy évvel tovább élvezhetjük (kedvenc játékosom) Jaromir játékát Csak "értelme" is legyen aztán, ne kelljen keserű szájízzel visszavonulnia.
En utananeztem vonatnak, 50%os kedvezmennyel 75 euro oda-vissza. Jegyre kivancsi leszek mennyi lesz, meg h lehet hozzajutni. A masik meg h mennyire leszek elfoglalt akkortajt.
Meg egy nagyon jo hir mara: JAGR REMAINS ONE-TEAM MAN - HOPES RANGERS WILL STILL WANT HIM
The 2008-'09 season will begin with the Ottawa Senators playing the Pittsburgh Penguins twice in Stockholm and New York Rangers facing the Tampa Bay Lightning in two games in Prague.
10. Returns to Garden as opponent, March 20, 2006 – Two years and 17 days after the abomination of a trade that sent him to Toronto, Leetch finally plays the Garden (in a Boston Bruins sweater). Long denied the affection Rangers fans showered upon Mark Messier, Mike Richter and Adam Graves, Leetch feels the love on a memorable night complete with pregame video tribute, extended and thunderous game-opening ovation and third-period-long chanting of his name.
9. Drafted 9th overall in 1986 – Rangers scout Ray Clearwater tells the story of then-GM Craig Patrick hoping to save his job by swinging a Draft Day deal with either Detroit (first pick) or Los Angeles (second) to then take either Joe Murphy or Jimmy Carson. Patrick says Rangers scouts had Leetch rated No. 1 and he held his breath through the first eight picks. Either way, on June 21 in the Montreal Forum, Brian Leetch becomes a Ranger.
8. Scores playoff hat trick at Philadelphia, May 22, 1995 – Single-handedly keeping an overmatched Rangers team in the game, Leetch scores all three New York goals in a match the Flyers eventually win, 4-3.
7. Wins Calder Trophy in 1989 – After dueling good friend and ’88 U.S. Olympic teammate Tony Granato for much of the season, Leetch pulls away to become the Rangers’ first NHL Rookie of the Year since Steve Vickers in 1973. No Ranger has won since. Leetch scores a career-high 23 goals and records 71 points in 68 games in his first full NHL season.
6. Wins Norris Trophy in 1997 – Amid a storybook season highlighted by the reunion of Wayne Gretzky and Mark Messier and culminating with a Cinderella run to the conference finals, Leetch wins his second Norris. He eclipses 20 goals for the fourth time in his career to become the first and only two-time Norris Trophy winner in franchise history.
5. Wins Norris Trophy in 1992 – Taking an already fine career to another level, Leetch’s first season with Messier as a teammate was the finest a Rangers defenseman has ever had. His 102 points and 80 assists remain the franchise single-season records for D-men. So do the 17-game points and 15-game assists streaks he had that season. The first Norris won by a Ranger in 25 years and only the third in franchise history.
4. Captains Team USA to 1996 World Cup title – While 1980 rightly stands alone in American hockey history, this was the only time that we’ve come out on top when the best in the world from every country came together. Of course, Mike Richter’s absurd goaltending had a little something to do with it.
3. Spin-o-rama goal against Martin Brodeur in Game 7 against the Devils in ‘94 – Until Valeri Zelepukin scored with 7.7 seconds left to tie it (making “Matteau! Matteau! Matteau!” necessary), the only goal of one of the greatest games in NHL history was Leetch’s dash, spin and tuck. Perhaps uncomfortable with the spotlight of such an achievement, Leetch did little more than watch Zelepukin score.
2. Scores first goal in Game 7 of ‘94 Cup Finals – With Hockey New York on the verge of a nervous breakdown and even his teammates screaming from the bench for him to let it go, Leetch calmly waits until the moment is right before whisking the puck into the yawning cage to provide the desperately-needed early lead.
1. Wins Conn Smythe Trophy as 1994 playoffs MVP – 34 points (11 of them goals, including three series clinchers) in one postseason? For a defenseman? And throw in the pounding that left him unable to raise his arms to celebrate a goal in the Finals and the insane benching by Mike Keenan in Game 4 against the Devils? Mark Messier, who has seen a phenomenal playoff performance or a thousand ranks it as perhaps the best ever. Even better – he’s the only American ever to win the award.
Sztem Renney csak annyit mondott h Malik Ranger. Azt h "ki tudja meddig" azt a cikk iroja tette hozza. Vancouvert, Carolinat, es termeszetesen Blue Jackets-et emlegetnek.

0.30kor kezdodik a ceremonia, 2.00kor a meccs, remelem nemcsak a meccset nyomjak a neten, meg az is jo lenne most ha nem szaggatna be a kep majd allandoan.
szerintem egyértelmű tréd lesz belőle. ahogy renney mondja: "ő ranger, de ki tudja meddig" - ez mindent elmond. azaz érzésem levan zsírozva minden de várnak a meccs végig vele vagy az allstarig.
Defenseman Marek Malik's equipment was not in his practice locker and could be on the move.
"Right now it's just an internal matter," said Tom Renney. Asked if Malik would be at tonight's game, Renney responded:."That's to be determined." Asked if he was suspended, Renney declined to answer. Asked if he was still on the team, the answer was: "He's a Ranger,".For how long, who knows?
Renney wouldn't confirm that the 6-foot-6 Malik, 32, an unrestricted free agent who has played just and the target of Garden boo-birds all season, was being traded. Malik, earning $2.5 million this season, was scratched for four of the last nine games.
So Paul Mara will return to the lineup after Tuesday's scratch.
Erdekes. Serulesrol szo sincs, de a tradet sem erositik meg.
Leetch nyilatkozata a 4 evvel ezelotti esemenyekrol:
"The truth is, yeah, it bothers me. It always will. It’s not like it changes the situation. It’s just the reality of it. Again, it doesn’t change what tomorrow night means and the players and the moments. And Tom Renney called me two years ago and expressed that he thought it would be a perfect fit. … It was up to me if I wanted to end my career in New York, and I just decided at that time that that was enough."
