There’s no worse feeling for a team in the NHL than losing in overtime or a shootout just as the Rangers did last night against their rivals, the New York Islanders. But there is no better feeling than to come out the very next night and win in overtime or a shootout just as the Rangers did this evening against the Buffalo Sabres in front of their home crowd. In my opinion, it was the perfect bounce-back response that the Blueshirts needed following the loss to the Isles, especially since it prevented a three-game losing streak to develop.
The Rangers had their legs from the start tonight for a change, and they quickly applied pressure on Ryan Miller and the Sabres. Miller, playing in the second of a back-to-back, had an answer for all 14 shots the Blueshirts sent his way in that opening stanza, though. New York even had a partial powerplay to end the first, in which they bombarded Miller’s crease with all sorts of commotion, but Ryan stood strong to weather the storm.

Via Mark Spector, talks between the Rangers and Blue Jackets regarding Rick Nash have “advanced.” The reported package includes one of Ryan McDonagh or Michael Del Zotto, a prospect (apparently Tim Erixon), and a first round pick. The Rangers believe this offer gives them the edge over the Maple Leafs, and I would sure hope it would. That’s a serious haul.

Good Gravy. That about sums up my feelings on last night’s game. It made me loathe the shootout even more. Now, I’m not saying that the Rangers played well enough last night to be worthy of 2 points. But I was baffled at the line up that the coaching staff decided to go with. The [...]
