Rangers Showing Signs of Life

There was a big convincing win against the Islanders follows by the most dramatic win of the year against the Devils. No doubt that Chris Drury scored the biggest goal of his Ranger career. He finally displayed the clutch performances that the Rangers were hoping for when they signed him to the big free agent contract a few years ago.

The O.T loss in Toronto last night was indeed a setback but more importantly there are two key injuries to Ryan Callahan and Sean Avery. But this game clearly radiates the talent the Rangers have in Hartford. I have been making this point from the beginning. The Rangers recalled P. A. Parenteau and he promptly scored the first goal of the game. Also, it appears that Brandon Dubinsky is finally evolving into a clutch player and leader on this team Don't forget that he missed almost 6 weeks with a broken finger.

The recent injuries that have led to the latest losing streak in Philly will be a tremendous benefit and incentive for the Rangers to believe they still have a shot.
Next up are the fading Islanders again in Uniondale. The Rangers have to be extremely careful to come out and take it to them right away. They cannot take any opponent for granted at this stage of the year. My prediction is that the Rangers will make it in.....but just barely!
