Rangers’ offensive firepower, defensive vulnerability on full display early
NY Post
The two halves of the whole Rangers were on display through the first two games of the 2024-25 season.
A team that trounced an inferior Penguins club also let an up-and-coming Utah team carve up its defense.
The Rangers scored 11 goals over six periods, but also gave up five in 60 minutes, including four in one period.
The good, the bad and the ugly of the Rangers’ first 124.05 minutes of play was distinct.
Perhaps that is a positive of their 1-0-1 showing to start the season.
The Rangers flexed their offensive strengths and their defensive deficiencies emerged early, partially due to the three new defense pairs with Ryan Lindgren on injured reserve with an upper-body injury.

SAN DIEGO — As you may have seen elsewhere in this newspaper (and also if you haven’t deleted me yet from your social media), I have a book coming out Tuesday called “The Bosses of The Bronx.” Much of it details the 37 years’ worth of antics, winning, losing, winning again and overall mania of George Steinbrenner’s time with the Yankees.

Cade Cunningham, almost inarguably the best player in the East this season, is likely out for the remainder of the regular season. That’s the word out of Detroit following the depressing news that Cunningham punctured a lung when he took a knee to his side Tuesday from Washington’s Tre Johnson while chasing a loose ball.

Wednesday was another positive day at Yankees camp. For the first time since March 6, 2025 — an outing in which he knew “something wasn’t right,” which began a weeks-long saga that ended on the operating table for Tommy John surgery — Gerrit Cole was back on a mound and facing hitters in game action.
