Bryan McCabe had hoped to be traded to the Rangers three years ago when the Maple Leafs dealt him. Instead, he landed with the Panthers, who eventually moved him to New York this past week. "Things didn't work out [back then] but I'm glad they did now," McCabe said. "I'm really excited to be here." McCabe played his first game as a Ranger Sunday at Madison Square Garden against the Lightning. He was scoreless, but had two shots on goal.
