Even though Chris put up his final thoughts on last night’s game, we had Glen Miller write up another recap because he does a great job with them. Glen has been a great help, and it’s only fair that we point out his current project: Fan Junkies. Fan Junkies is a social networking site like Facebook but for sports fans. Teams have their own group pages that can be sponsored by individual team blogs. Make sure to follow Glen on Twitter here.
Cue the Charles Dickens. This was the tale of two cities; or basically this game….. If you watched the contest and were a Ranger fan you might have been ready to submit to defeat half way through.

The Rangers have returned defenseman Tim Erixon to the Connecticut Whale of the AHL. Erixon was initially called up two weeks ago to serve as another option for the Rangers to look at on defense.

Their primary Eastern Conference competitor actually lost a game, and their opponent on the ice gave them an easy path to the go-ahead goal. The Rangers, naturally, were more concerned about their own performance.
Ruslan Fedotenko scored with 6:23 left to lead the Rangers past the Minnesota Wild 3-2 on Tuesday to create some...
