Dr. Jekyll Ranger Shuts Out Thrashing For A Living, NYR 4, Atlanta 0

Last evening the New York Rangers played like a solid hockey team should and blanked the Atlanta Thrashers four-to-zip. In typical Blueshirt fashion - a huge win can always be downgraded by a visit with Mr. Hyde Ranger, who could make an appearance this Thursday as the Rangers play a double-home-header against Atlanta twice in the same week.

The Dark Ranger is reserving comment on last night's victory and will address both games in one shot Thursday evening. Here is the official recap. As it stands the Rangers are last in the Atlantic Division and ninth in the Eastern conference -- but a string of wins could make them a contender, as they are only seven points away from first place in the Atlantic and second in the Conference. As stated before, the Blueshirts need to win 2 of every 3 games generally to insure a playoff run.

One comment worth mentioning is a reserved 'kudos' to the coach (this is hard for me) for finding the Avery-Gomez-Jagr line, as it appeared to have sparked a little speed in our dear Captain Jags. The Beast is Back! (or for a game at least)

  1. 1) Better to win such games as last night, but make NO conclsions by last night's domination. Atlanta is a pitiful team. A great tonic for ateam floundering for some confidence.
    2) The schedule makers did the guys in NY a huge favour with back to back home games against the Thrash! Just what the Dr (Jekyll) ordered!

  2. Hey you picked out the 'oldie'. Frederic March, Miriam Hopkins that sure was The Classic. Great job. Oh, the Rangers? Lets see how they do after the All Star break with that tough 4 game road trip.

  3. pundit...pretty soon our blogs may be 'picture contests' or 'backyard miniature golfs' or 'lemonade stands', etc. anything to pass the time and ignore the losses. i do hope they properly honor Leetchie tomorrow with a slaughterhouse win! If not, no one will be surprised.

    faux...boston two in a row was supposed to be tonic for our struggling franchise. tough stuff...maybe Ferguson could help OUR ailing franchise...(just kidding...keep him OUT!)

  4. THEY ARE GOING TO DROP THE GAME TO ATLANTA ON THURSDAY AND IT WILL BE BUSINESS AS USUAL. THEY ARE NOT UP TO THE CHALLENGE. BACK TO THE OLD DAYS. VETERANS THAT CAN'T DELIVER. Go Flyers
