Hey everyone, haven’t been around in awhile for a couple of reasons. First, I haven’t seen a full game in a while because of black-out situations and being busy with school, but I’m glad I caught last night’s game, so here are my thoughts.
I wouldn’t even be posting if the Rangers had lost, but I’m here because of Steve Valiquette, Brendan Shanahan, and Nigel Dawes. That game did wonders for my blood pressure, and it was a great game to watch.
Well, my post-Montreal collapse predictions weren’t so crazy after all eh? The Rangers are 3-0 since their OTL in Montreal, and to my credit I predicted 3 wins, but only the 5-0 win over Florida at the Garden counts as a “spanking.” We are now into March on the calendar. This is a month where the Rangers play 10 out of 14 games against Atlantic foes. If we can get out of this month with more than a winning record, we should have a playoff spot locked up. All that starts Sunday @ the Garden when the Blueshirts have a brunch with the Flyers at 12:30 on NBC. But enough looking ahead, here are my notes and thoughts on last night’s 4-2 win in Raleigh.
I always like to let the HOOP-LAH die down before I analyze anything, especially trades. The Rangers made two deals.
TSN is reporting that the New York Rangers have acquired St. Louis Blues defenseman Christian Backman.
Is Peter Forsberg going to become a Flyer by February 14? Do the Blues want to deal a defenseman? Does Rob Blake really want out of Los Angeles? How much cap space to the Red Wings have to acquire players before deadline? Do the Rangers really need to make trades?
