This Is What Happens When You Mess With the Rangers

Found March 20, 2012 on NY Rangers Blog: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Stu Bickel,  Henrik Lundqvist
TEAMS: New York Rangers
Not everyone is a fan of the way last night's game began. I am not one of those people. The momentum given to the Rangers from the brawl was absolutely tangible and could have just catapulted the Blueshirts to great things.So if any other coach thinks they can come into MSG and push the Rangers around, go for it. The Blueshirts have more than enough able and willing participants that are just waiting to hand out beatdowns to all on-comers.For more pics, video and reaction from last night's brawl, click the "Read More" tab below. Here's a little recap of last night's events:For some reason Devils coach Peter DeBoer felt he needed to send a message by putting out a line of Jansen-Carter-Boulton to start the game, which Torts was none too happy about...So he sent out his wrecking crew which included Stu Bickel taking the face-off which obviously turned into this...And ultimately lead to Carter's bloodied face pictured above, which was caused by this......

Rangers Hold Off Devils; Recap

Two smart periods and one sloppy period equals Rangers win. It wasn’t perfect but the Rangers got what they deserved out of the game as they beat the Devils 4-2. They were the better team throughout and ten minutes aside in the second controlled play, were defensively solid and could have scored more if not for some sharp goaltending by Brodeur. On to the notes from the gameâ€...

So while the New York Ranger and New York Islander prospects were looking to see who was going to play who and where in both the CHL playoffs and NCAA tournament; it was a guy playing his final game as a Junior who stole the show on Sunday.
