SNY.tv published this yesterday afternoon. The Rangers take the ice tonight against the high-octane Washington Capitals as a team with big problems. They're not scoring. Offseason additions not name Markus Naslund have failed miserably. And unfairly, Tom Renney is on the hot seat. At this rate Henrik Lundqvist has to pitch a 1-0 shutout for the Rangers to earn two points.
The Rangers were projected to be a sixth or seventh seed in the East anyway, but when you consider that they spent much of the season atop the Atlantic Division, their fall has been precipitious and has exposed their weaknesses: no go-to scorer and nobody who can carry a team on broad shoulders.
Sean Avery has already been labeled a savior. What? If he clears re-entry waivers and and rejoins the Rangers, he'll be a big help. But cries of "Hurry Sean hurry" are a bit ridiculous. If Glen Sather can steal Vincent Lecavalier from the Lightning, there's your savior.
Speaking of Sather, he should have been out of the front office a long time ago, but what do I or any of us know?
