Justin Bourne at Puck Daddy takes a look at a few teams that are scarier than their current seading including your New York Rangers…
“In net, the Rangers sport one of the few people who could cancel the pending coronation of Tim Thomas as a two-time Vezina winner. Henrik Lundqvist has led the Rangers to a 7-2-1 record over the past ten games of the playoff push, and appears to be able to play roughly 10,000 consecutive games without taking a night off.
The Rangers, as much as any team if not more, were ravaged by injuries this season. At the deepest depths of their injury woes, it looked like John Tortorella was a shoo-in to be at least considered for the Jack Adams, as he somehow managed to keep them afloat the entire time. As the team has slowly healed, it’s come to the league’s attention that the Rangers are actually kind of decent — an annoying realization when you’ve battled all year for a top seed, only to see a team finally hitting their stride at the bottom of the pack.”
…Bourne hits it right on the head here. Hank and health make the Rangers a scary team. The Rangers have finally, after going through almost the entire season with key injuries, gotten their full compliment of players back. And although they struggled initially they really seem to be gelling of late.
