I needed to bask, thats why this writeup took so damn long to put up.? That was just awesome to watch.? Not only a full 60 minute game by the Rangers, but 2 complete 60 minute efforts in a row.
Although there are a lot of proclamations that the Rangers are back, I find myself hesitant to agree.? The key is sustaining it.? Not for 1 or 2 games, but for every single one of the remaining 27 games.? Remember, the Rangers now have 57 points and 27 games remaining.? Thats 35 points they need to get, or something like 17-9-1.? While not necessarily impossible, it is by far and away a sure thing.? I still think the season is over, or more accurately, was over w/ the loss against the Red Wings.? But a monumental turn of events is not unheard of, just last year the Devils went on an improbably blitz to come from being outside the playoffs to winning the division.? Lets just see how things go in the next few.
It certainly was an unlikely game though.? The Rangers shutout one of the most potent offenses in the game, the Rangers only give up 3 power plays, they score goals from all over their lineup, including 2 from 4th liners, and they flat out dominate a playoff team.? All I can say is….Wow.
