Whether he's being a pest on the ice or a fashionista at a glossy magazine, Sean Avery makes his presence known. And now the city of Dallas will be seeing a lot more of him as the Dallas Stars have agreed to give Avery $15.5 million over four years. Stars co-manager Bret Hull said of the notorious player, "He goes against the stream, which I kind of like. He reminds me of myself in a......

Today on the Gothamist Newsmap: a water condition at Surf Ave. and West 8th St. in Brooklyn, a car vs. building at 49th St. and 5th Ave. in Manhattan, and a fatality with a person under a subway train at Sutter and Snediker Aves. in Brooklyn. The editors at The New York Times apologize for asserting that Presidential candidate Ron Paul was allied with white supremacists and the American Nazi Party. Racked notes that......

Rangers 4 Carolina 2: Putting Gomez on the top line certainly looked like a smart decision Wednesday. Gomez fed Jarmoir Jagr, helping him get nine shots and setting him up on both of his goals in the Rangers’ win. Chris Drury and Dan Girardi also scored for New York. The game was stopped midway through the second period after an ugly collision between Colton Orr and former Ranger Matt Cullen. Cullen took this worst of......

The New York Rangers have hit a speed bump, coming out flat in two-straight games, getting some bad goaltending and losing badly at home. Thursday night’s 6-2 loss was even more disappointing than Tuesday’s because the Rangers rallied in this game and then fell apart. Down 2-0 in the first the Rangers came back with two goals off of the power play to even things up heading into the second. But, Toronto took the......

If CBS News Writers Strike, Democrats Will Nix Debate Several presidential candidates - Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and Bill Richardson -have announced their intentions not to cross picket lines for a debate sponsored by CBS News on December 10th. The Writers Guild of America announced earlier this week that its members who work for the network’s television and radio operations at both the national and local level have authorized a strike vote. The members have......

Henrik Lundqvist cannot feel too comfortable these days. The fact is if he makes one mistake, his team is going to lose the game. That is the sorry state of the Rangers’ offense, which while suffering from bad chemistry and untimely injuries has in turn vanished from the face of the ice. Tuesday night it was Pittsburgh blanking them 1-0, despite 36 shots from New York. In fact, they hit at least one post, so......

- Some of L.A. gets a blackout; so far, it doesn't seem to be Al Qaeda but rather some "overzealous cable cutting"... however, it's unlikely that blackout babies will be conceived, since power should be going up soon - NYU has taken in some students from colleges affected by Hurricane Katrina - At the Art Parade, Elijah Wood tries to dispel the "hobbits are gay" rumors - New York Rangers captain Mark Messier retires (yes,......

Gothamist understands that many of you don’t recognize what that is in the picture accompanying this story, it is a hockey puck and it will be appearing soon at a rink near you. The NHL and their players have reached a deal on a labor agreement, which if ratified, will bring hockey back after the entire 2004-2005 season was cancelled. Chief beneficiaries of the new deal should be the New York Rangers who will......

Gothamist's heart still flutters when we think about the New York Rangers winning the Stanley Cup ten years ago today. The Daily News revisits that sweet day and also reveals where members of the 93-94 team are today (Esa Tikkanen, whose toothless visage and cheery broken English we remember, is a clothing entrepreneur in Finland!). The NY Rangers also look back on that monumental day, which heralded a ticker tape parade and reason for hockey......

At the end of last night's loss to the Sabers, New York Rangers fans gave team captain Mark Messier a standing ovation. The fans at The Garden clearly thought that it might have been Mess's last game as a Ranger. During the game, he scored his 18th goal of the season, but the Rangers lost anyway. In the post-game press conference, Messier did not confirm or deny that this was his last home game as......

Gothamist thought we knew a fair amount about the New York Rangers (we do have the 1994 Stanley Cup Championship video), but we never realized they had the Rangers City Skaters, the icy counterpart to the Knicks City Dancers. That's why the Post's exclusive that MSG executives sexually harrassed, verbally abused, and just acted like buffoons was so surprising. The former captain of the Rangers City Skaters, Courtney Prince, is suing the Rangers, citing instances......
