Larry Brooks joined the Post in 1976 and has been its NHL columnist since 1994, adding the Rangers beat in 1996. He also covered the Devils and serves as a baseball columnist. The Hockey News has named him one of the Top 100 People of Power and Influence in NHL seven times, the only writer from a daily U.S. publication to receive that recognition.
Brad Richards left his coach no choice. Which, when it comes right down to it, is just as well, because any time the Rangers have gone on the power play in the playoffs, John Tortorella has chosen to use Richards,... May 23, 2013
From RangersSo three players in 10 games have been knocked silly on checks from opponents, legal or otherwise, and yet here are the Rangers on the brink of Round 2 elimination tonight at the Garden, content to turn the other cheek... May 23, 2013
From RangersIt was hardly earth-shattering stuff, nothing like saying a player “stinks” on the power play, for instance, but John Tortorella sure had it right before the playoffs started when the Rangers’ coach talked about... May 22, 2013
From RangersBOSTON — It is difficult enough for the Rangers to win even when Henrik Lundqvist is at the top of his game. It is all but impossible for the Blueshirts to even come close when The King plays as if he’s a plebeian.... May 20, 2013
From RangersBOSTON — Long Island is neither Brooklyn’s to promise nor a particularly good idea, if you want to know the truth about the Bruce Ratner/Brett Yormark plan to schedule six Islanders games a season at a remodeled,... May 19, 2013
From More SportsBOSTON — It isn’t Alex Rodriguez batting eighth in the order in the 2006 playoffs, because seriously, what else could be? Other than, that is, Rodriguez being pinch-hit for and then benched entirely in the playoffs six... May 18, 2013
From RangersBOSTON — Henrik Lundqvist, the face of the Rangers and the face behind the mask, did not even attempt to mask the bitter pain of yet another overtime defeat. This one cut to the core of the goaltender, who blamed... May 17, 2013
From RangersBOSTON — So long ago, this was where Glen Sather started his NHL career as one of the supporting actors of the cast of “Bobby Orr and the Animals” that made life so miserable for the Rangers in the late ’60s. But... May 16, 2013
From RangersWASHINGTON — It can be such ugly hockey. That is Black-and-Blueshirt hockey. But it is beautiful hockey in the eyes of the beholders who advanced to the Eastern Conference semifinals with their Game 7, 5-0 rout of the... May 14, 2013
From RangersOne goal. That’s all the King’s men got for Henrik Lundqvist and that’s all their goaltender needed. One game. That’s all that Lundqvist and the Rangers need in order to advance to the Eastern Conference semifinals.... May 13, 2013
From RangersThe Islanders raised all the echoes over the last week, but that isn’t this team’s most significant achievement. By forcing the Penguins to six games before overtime elimination at the Coliseum last night despite... May 12, 2013
From IslandersWASHINGTON — There is a bull’s-eye on the back of Rick Nash’s sweater. Everyone but everyone can see that. And in Wednesday night’s third period of the Rangers’ series-equalizing Game 4, 4-3 victory at the Garden,... May 10, 2013
From RangersThis is a Same Time Next Year kind of deal from Brian Boyle, who was at the height of his powers during the first round of the 2012 playoffs until Chris Neil delivered a Game 5 head shot that concussed the Rangers’... May 08, 2013
From RangersIt Is only two games, but it is already two games. The Rangers haven’t even had a chance to lose a home game, but if they do at the Garden tonight, in Game 3 of their first-round series against the Capitals, they will... May 06, 2013
From RangersWASHINGTON — The responsibility for changing the NHL’s culture should not rest alone with Brendan Shanahan, yet that’s the burden the VP of player safety assumes every time a play occurs like the one on Thursday in... May 05, 2013
From More SportsWASHINGTON — A year ago, we knew exactly who and what those guys were when the playoffs began. They were Black-and-Blueshirts and they were Bluebloods who for the most part had been nurtured within the organization and... May 02, 2013
From RangersFirst, a question: did anyone actually miss the 34 games per team that were lopped off the schedule as a result of Owners’ Lockout III? And a follow-up: Exactly how much did the absence of training camp, the paucity of... April 30, 2013
From RangersThe anticipated absences of Brian Boyle and Ryane Clowe for at least the start of the best-of-seven against the Capitals will take a toll on the Rangers’ depth up front, but the absence of Marc Staal will create an... April 29, 2013

From RangersYou never will find me criticizing the NHL for trying a Big Idea, and that’s what planning six outdoor games for next season represents. But there is risk along with reward here for the league and their newly chummy... April 21, 2013
From More SportsRight from the top: Of all the Rangers’ problems during this disappointing follow-up to last year’s bang-up season, Rick Nash has been about the least of them. Yes, no doubt, in yielding a pair of Blueblood forwards in... April 19, 2013
From RangersThis may not have been the Front Page Series of 1979 when the Rangers took out the first-overall Islanders in the Stanley Cup semifinals that earned a “VICTORY” banner headline in The Post. And as a cultural reference... April 14, 2013
