This will be super abbreviated since Ive got something I need to take care of, but from here on out every night after a Rangers game I will have a statistical analysis of the up to date standings and projections on what the Rangers need to make the playoffs. Numbers will be adjusted every day from here on out until the season is over, or until the Rangers are mathematically out of it. Regardless this was 2 big points in a game that should not have been this close. Clearly Brendan Shanahans presence was missed on the ice as the 2nd line did not seem as effective as it should have been. Besides the top 3, nobody had a standout game.

Rangers had a clear let down in their energy level in that period.? Although they continued to generate chances, they clearly were not as aggressive, particularly the defenseman who simply did not jump up in the play.? Martin Havlat scored a terrible angled goal which Henrik should have had.? Still, it was a pretty boring period, I actually found my mind wandering at times, which for me is a VERY VERY rare occurance.

That was impressive.? Rangers were just flying all over the ice.? They put constant pressure on the Hawks for minutes at a time and just would not stop shooting.? Rangers limited the Hawks to only 5 shots on goal in the period, and all 5 were very weak.? Henrik didnt have to do much.? Unfortunately im becoming so disenfranchised with the men in blue that I really had a hard time even clapping at the goals.? Oh well, maybe i’ll feel better after this game.

The Leafs and the Rangers are discussing the possibility of acquiring Jeremy Roenick from the Coyotes.

The Habs are searching for a backup and are in heavy discussions with San Jose. They may be dealing Sheldon Souray to the Pacific Division.

The Redwings see Sturm as a perfect fit to their roster.
