Win & In


Win - and IN!


So that's all it's gonna take - One win, two points, or a few more losses by the teams just behind in the standings. There's some strange machinations with respect to wins and points and such, but for the most part, it is just win-and-in.

So who is the most overrated player in hockey? It certainly can't be that Sean Avery guy who has lit a fire under this entire organization and has the numbers to back it up. It's not that fella who battled Darcy Tucker last night, just can't be.

It's strange that this is the same team I hated earlier in the season. They were a soft bunch, getting pushed all over the ice on a nightly basis. That fancy Euro-style criss-crossing, pretty-passing technique just wasn't working like it had the first half of last season. They were inexplicably bad at home as well. Now all of a sudden, gritty Sean Avery, along with a few other hard-nosed replacements like Dan Girardi and Ryan Callahan (and by the way, who knew Thomas Pöck had an attitude), have transformed these Rangers team into a tough team, one that has made Madison Square Garden a home again (they have won 7 of their last 8 in MSG).

Just three games remain, and the once seemingly impossible to reach postseason is now just about a certainty. They are driving to the playoffs this year, instead of being dragged there. I'm trying not to get too far ahead of myself, but I think the franchise's first post season win since May 18, 1997 may finally be within sight.

NY Post: Indeed, a victory at the Coliseum tomorrow night over the Islanders would clinch a spot for the Rangers, who leapfrogged the Lightning by one point to gain sixth place. It's not quite the equivalent of Terry Francona's Red Sox celebrating at Yankee Stadium after Game 7 in 2004, but still, can you imagine?

NY Daily News: The irrepressible forward, despised throughout the league but adored throughout his new locker room and home arena, last night staged a rollicking performance that highlighted everything he has brought to the Rangers. And after Avery had scored two goals, assisted on another, dropped the gloves with Darcy Tucker and trash-talked for 60 minutes, the Rangers had moved to the precipice of a playoff clincher with a 7-2 trouncing of Toronto.

Newsday: Coach Tom Renney cited Avery's impact on his team. "I've talked to him about leadership, maybe it's something that he hasn't had a lot of responsibility with in the past," Renney said. "Sean, as has happened in the past, has served as a catalyst."

The Journal News: Even if last night had never happened, Sean Avery probably wouldn't need to pay for dinner or pick up his cab fare within sniffing distance of Madison Square Garden. The 27-year-old forward has become that beloved in his first 25 games in New York, his gritty style winning hearts and leading the Rangers into the thick of the playoff race.

NY SportsDay: Before Sean Avery was acquired for Jason Ward and a few prospects, the Blueshirts were adrift and unmotivated, but the 26 year-old came in and provided the spark to ignite the team. And maybe, he had his own reasons to do so. “Part of my motivation is to prove to Larry Brooks this was a better trade than [Butch] Goring to the Islanders [back in 1980],” quipped Avery, as the Post’s beat writer was standing in earshot.

So tomorrow night, in what will surely be a pseudo-home game in the Nassau Coliseum, the New York Rangers can clinch their second consecutive postseason berth. I don't know about you, but I feel a whole hell of a lot better this year than last year.

Thank you Rangers for hammering the poor Laughs the other night. Dispelling the rumour that they could be something other then a door mat for the top flight teams in the east.

You're going to be waiting a while for that. Simpson was suspsended indefinitely by whatever league he was previously playing in and the NHL honored it.

a combination of the Rangers prevailing tonight and Montreal beating Boston at home would also eliminate the Islanders from the playoff race.

How awesome would that be. Clinch a spot and deny them one at the same time? I think Ricky won't be in net tonight as he's still got a headache! Should be Wade D-whatever-a-wicz.

LETS GO RANGERS!!!

Well worth the risk of a 15 year, $67.5 million contract.
