Boomer was surprisingly confident this morning, considering his Rangers are facing a must-win game Monday night in Ottawa.
If you didn't know the top-seeded New York Rangers were one loss away from elimination, the low-key practice before their biggest game of the season wouldn't have given away the dire circumstances.
While Chris Neil isn't deserving of a 25-game ban for his head-shot on Brian Boyle, it's clear that he and his Senators teammates have targeted Boyle all series.
Senators pushed the top-seeded New York Rangers to the brink of elimination with a 2-0 victory Saturday
The Rangers have a legitimate chance to win the Cup. They shouldn't have a real problem with the eighth-seeded Senators, and it's time to get legitimate and knock these imposters out of the way!
The Rangers somehow lose their aggressiveness when they are trying to protect the lead. The lack of an aggressive forecheck is the equivalent of the "prevent" defense in football and is the reason the series stands even.
The Ottawa Senators haven't skated with the lead through four games of their playoff series against the Rangers, and yet the No. 8 seed in the Eastern Conference is all even heading into Game 5 on Saturday night at Madison Square Garden.
Neil Keefe has the second installment of "Thursday Thoughts" with the Yankees playing .500 baseball and the Rangers needing to win the biggest game of the season on Saturday night.

You could smell the overtime loss coming. All of the aggressiveness, all the momentum, all the energy shifted to Ottawa.
I think I speak for the entire morning show staff when I say we weren't quite sure what kind of mood the Booms would be in Thursday.
Kyle Turris scored at 2:42 of overtime to give the Ottawa Senators a 3-2 victory over the New York Rangers on Wednesday night, tying the Eastern Conference series at two games apiece.
Ottawa likely will be without captain Daniel Alfredsson on Wednesday when it hosts the New York Rangers in Game 4 of their first-round series. Alfredsson didn't practice Tuesday because of a concussion and his status is day to day.
