ouch Rangers…

Since there hasn’t been much action lately, I’d like to take the time to reflect a little bit on the Rangers 6-5 loss to the Montreal Canadiens this past Tuesday. Rangers up 5-0, the Habs manage to score 5 unanswered goals (props to Kovalev’s goal to tie it up), then a goal to win it in the shootout…long story short, this is the first time in history the Rangers blew a lead like this, and the first time the Canadiens came back from a 5-0 deficit.

So what happened here? Rangers choked as usual…but maybe it was because we were missing this guy?

Hopefully that gave the Rangers fans a much needed confidence boost. If you’re a Ranger fan, check out Steve Zipay’s blog on Newsday; he attends most of their practices and reports back (frequently) with who’s hurt, line changes, rumors, etc.
