While more than 100 organized Glen Sather haters gathered on Seventh Avenue looked about ready to slit their wrists over the mediocre state of their team, John Tortorella tried to open a vein in the Rangers' stone....
March 08, 2010 12:00 AMInto thin air has vanished Sidney Crosby's stick, gloves, and the puck that broke America's heart, at least for the few days it cared. During Sunday's gold-medal celebration in Canada, somebody scooped up everything...

When Mike D'Antoni says he came to the Knicks with his eyes wide open, it also was implied that the rest of us would keep our eyes closed to the results. "We could have put a Band-aid on some holes and be more...
March 04, 2010 12:00 AMHerschel Walker knows some people think he's crazy, but he says those are the people who don't know his deep love for competition. That's what helped him win a Heisman Trophy, play 12 years in the NFL and three with...
March 02, 2010 12:00 AMEven with that big, big window the Knicks have opened for LeBron James, Dwyane Wade or Chris Bosh, there still has proven to be plenty of wall left for Danilo Gallinari to hit. "He's 21 years old," Knicks coach...

The Knicks took a number almost two years ago and, for all anyone knows, they might as well be waiting for Godot, not LeBron. So with 29 games remaining and four teams to leap over in the standings on a 30-year-old...
February 21, 2010 12:00 AMThe Knicks finally have a sky full of cap space, glorious cap space. But is there enough room left over in the dream Tracy McGrady dreamed aloud yesterday for fans beaten down by a decade of Glen Rice, Stephon Marbury,...
February 20, 2010 12:00 AMBasically, every NHL franchise is bursting with pride with its Olympians it wishes deep down would not have been chosen. If everyone's worst nightmare is losing a star for the beginning of the stretch drive, the...

Just when it appeared that there couldn't ever be anything more humiliating than yesterday's Rangers' first-period effort, Nick, on the scoreboard screen, asked Melissa to marry him. She stared in disbelief, then got...
February 15, 2010 12:00 AMIt takes many sets of eyes and legs to shut down Ilya Kovalchuk, and last night Ryan Callahan was just the man for the job. We mean, just after the right winger made the last of at least four good Rangers passes to...
February 07, 2010 12:00 AMMartin Brodeur has three Stanley Cups and been eliminated in the first round six times, five with 100-point teams. No one knows better than the goalie, who has both won and lost more NHL playoff games than anyone but...
February 06, 2010 12:00 AMSure, Olli Jokinen is not Ilya Kovalchuk, who is going to the Devils for little they will miss, but more value than represented by Ales Kotalik and Christopher Higgins, for sure. The Rangers were not deep enough on...

Take it from Bob Cousy: Before there was a Bob Cousy, there was a Richard "Dick" McGuire. "We didn't think of role models in those days," Cousy, 81, said yesterday from West Palm Beach. "But if somebody would have...

The Knicks are neither as bad as they were losing by 50 to an excellent Dallas team, nor as good as they appeared two days later jumping up 15-0 and rolling over awful Minnesota. Mike D’Antoni coaches a bunch of...

One man's misfortune is another's opportunity. No question, Shonn Greene and Sione Pouha ran with theirs all the way to the AFC Championship game. Statistically, the Jets got better against the run after Kris...

If it gets worse than 128-78, or going 2-6 in the last eight games, it is the Knicks being 6-18 this season against teams currently occupying playoff positions. Or, as coach Mike D'Antoni laughed to keep from crying...

They are still out there, in numbers, in Long Island's bedroom communities. Of course, that's where Islander fans still largely sleep, as does their franchise, as do hopes to save it with a deal for a new arena....

January 23, 2010 12:00 AMThe closest thing Mike D'Antoni probably has to a rock concedes he will be in a very hard place tonight. "You can't go through a game saying you want to force Kobe Bryant right or force him left," said Wilson...

PHILADELPHIA -- The Knicks, their playoff hopes seemingly legitimized by a 12-6 surge during a year designed primarily to hold cap space, went through Houston and Oklahoma City without a win, so to whom would they go...
January 14, 2010 12:00 AMThey should have played until they had to call another one because of darkness. After 5-on-5 and 4-on-4, they should have gone to 3-on-3, then 2-on-2, until eventually it was just Martin Brodeur and Henrik...
