H/T to reader Nick D.Here's Rangers players on losing Brian Boyle for tonight's do or die Game 6 in Ottawa...Brad Richards..."It hurts not having a guy like that. The only thing we are worried about, though, is his health. We can't worry about the game. We are very confident we can go win a game tonight without him."Lots of teams have injuries. Can't worry about it. (The Senators) just went through it and they're doing fine, so it means nothing (playing without Boyle) except that we hope he is getting healthier."Ryan Callahan..."It's a big loss for us. Everyone knows the kind of playoff he's been having, and how big he is for us in all parts of the game. It's a big loss, but at the same time someone else has to step up. It's part of the playoffs: guys go down, guys get injured."...hopefully the Rangers use the Boyle injury as motivation to absolutely run over the Senators tonight. Boyle is one of the more popular play...

Replacing Boyle in the lineup

Via Blue Seat Blogs  |  April 23, 2012
When Chris Neil took out Brian Boyle with a questionable hit on Saturday night, he took out the Rangers most effective forward. He took out their leading scorer, top defensive forward, and top penalty killer in this series. He took out the only player that has managed to get under the skin of the Senators. It’s a big blow to the Rangers, and not a player easily replaced. The best...

The Rangers report just 12 players participated in today's optional practice....i usually try to stay pretty positive on the blog, but not today folks. 12 players? Are you kidding me?

Some Thoughts as Rangers Find Themselves in Do-or-Die Scenario

Via The Rangers Tribune  |  April 22, 2012
This isn't going to be organized in any way, because like many of you, my thoughts after last night's 2-0 shutout loss are scattered all over the place.  I guess, first and foremost, I should let you all know that Ottawa forward Chris Neil will not receive any supplementary discipline for his high hit to the head of Brian Boyle late in Game 5.
