Back to playing a shitty team, the Rangers did exactly what we had to do last night: we won big and we got two points. It was fun to watch, and it felt like a good lead-in to this weekend. Understand, as Brooks put it, "The Maple Leafs provided no credible opposition, so it would be silly to infer too much. It's not as if the Blueshirts hammered the 2000 Devils, after all, or even the 2010 Flyers, for that matter." However, we did hammer the opponent we were given the opportunity to hammer, and that counts for something. In this case, it counts for two points.
We played an inspired first period, fell asleep at the first intermission, and woke up and responded when the Leafs eventually took advantage and made it 3-1. Not a ringing description of a strong contender, but enough. It wasn't enough to get us into the playoffs, yet, but it was absolutely everything we had the opportunity to do last night. Now, we look forward.
Oh hey, bee tee dubs, can we re-sign Brandon Prust, like, now? He's kinda the best. I am right about everything.
So, here it is. We earned ourselves the right to keep our destiny in our hands. Tomorrow night is Game 6 of our Round 0 Playoff series against the Flyers, and we're down 3 games to 2. It is time.
Also, root like hell for the Sabres tonight. If Boston can lose a couple for us, things might get nice.
This might be my number one worst blog post since I started this blog. I have provided virtually no information at all. Sorry about that.
