This was a big game for the Penguins. Against a divisional opponent they had to perform well and win if they wanted to keep their playoff hopes alive.
They did.
Whether the Penguins played a great game or the Rangers played a terrible one, or if it was a combination of both, didn't matter. The ...

Phil Esposito, in his high-scoring career, always said that the more you shot, the more you scored.?I don't disagree with Phil, but I also think that it's the quality of shots as opposed to the quantity. I do agree that if you get the puck to the net, your chances of scoring multiply greatly (and that is the most obvious statement I've ever said), but crappy shots from...

It is only fitting that the only Ranger prospects playing on Sunday were their two picks in the 3rd Round, Evgeny Grachev and Tomas Kundratek. One Grachev gets all the hype but the other Kundratek also gets his job done.In either case the Rangers have 2 winners out of the 3rd round.

It's about that time I throw some grades at the Ranger players and of course their coach. This is a little late than usual but with the hardships I fell on and the frustration I felt over this team I felt like I needed a clear mind to hand out fair grades. Let's get right into it.A+: Henrik ...

I don't know why I ended up in Washington when I can't stand politics.
(It gets everyone worked up, and I hate confrontations, as well as
