Post Game Thoughts

If you had told me the Rangers were going to lose this game after seeing the first period I would have thought you were crazy. Yes, it was only a 1 goal lead but man, the way they were playing, I didn't think it could happen.

I want to reserve total judgement about this team's potential for a second half run until after the 3 games this weekend against teams above us in the standings.

I've been trying not to pay attention to the standings put I glanced at them after tonights game. The Rangers sit 9th and I can't really see any of the teams below them (Washington?, Atlanta, Florida) making a run. It's still early but I think it will be the Rangers, Islanders and Boston for 2 of 3 spots down the stretch.
