For many teams in the NHL the guy that keys the rest of the team is their
best player as he sets the tone for the type of team they will be. That is not the case for the New York
Rangers. The guy who sets the tone for
the Rangers is Brandon Prust. With that
being the case it was a surprise to few that last night in a crucial game it
was Prust who dropped the gloves with Travis Moen one second into the game. The
last thing on his mind in that moment was how bad his shoulder is and that
epitomizes the way he plays. That fight sent
a charge through Madison Square Garden that the Rangers carried through to their
best period of the season as they scored five on their way to securing two huge
points in their playoff quest.
All season Prust has added his warrior stamp to this young Rangers team and
defined the kind of mental and physical toughness that allows them to be in the
playoffs right now. Based on pure talent
this team should not be a playoff...
