from Larry Brooks of the NY Post,
Everyone understood this team would be more top-heavy following an offseason in which Rick Nash came but Brandon Dubinsky, Artem Anisimov, Ruslan Fedotenko and Brandon Prust departed. Everyone could see the added skill level. But the Rangers, a guts-’n-glory team if there ever were one, seem to be grappling for an identity in this new season.
Nearly all of last night’s chances were developed off the rush, many keyed by precocious young guns J.T. Miller and Chris Kreider, entrusted with all the ice time they could handle. But play below the hash marks was sparing — as was the Rangers’ ability to create or win puck battles.
“We have spurts where we play below the hash marks and try to wear the other team down, but we haven’t been able to do that consistently,” Marc Staal said. “We have the talent to be creative off the rush, but we can’t get away from grinding.
“That’s the way we have to play.”

I've always said you can take the guy out of the play but there is no need to try and take him out of the game too.

It’s no surprise or secret that the pundits have placed the longest odds upon the Columbus Blue Jackets to win the Stanley Cup much less qualifying for the Stanley Cup playoffs. After finishing the 2011-2012 season with the National Hockey League’s (NHL’s) worst record, trading away their franchise player and face of the franchise in Rick Nash and enduring a fan protest...

The Ralph Wiggum Powerplay.
In case you’ve missed it, and I”m sure you haven’t, the Rangers special teams have been abysmal to start the season. The Rangers are currently at a league-worst 8.6% conversion rate on the powerplay, which is pretty pathetic when you look at the personnel they deploy. The Blueshirts are also in the bottom half of the league with a 78% success rate...
