Kreider's first career goal came at a vital time for the Rangers. Heck, everything this kid does is atypical of a rookie.
The house will be loud and ready to go Thursday at MSG. I would expect the Rangers to be the same.
The Senators were getting the best of Broadway. They were winning the battle, but hadn't yet won the war.
With the Rangers getting a 3-2 win, all signs pointed to Boomer being in a great mood. Well I am sorry to report that was not the case.
Brad Richards scored the go-ahead goal and Derek Stepan had a goal and two assists as the top-seeded New York Rangers staved off elimination with a 3-2 victory against Ottawa Senators on Monday night.
The return of Carl Hagelin can spark the Rangers' lackluster offense into life.
The captain pronounced himself fit to play Game 6 against the New York Rangers on Monday after taking the morning skate at Scotiabank Place.
The New York Rangers know this going forward: If they can handle the Ottawa Senators in Games 6 and 7, they will have this pressure thing down. You will face better teams if you survive, but the pressure won't be any greater.
It comes down to this. The top-seeded Rangers on the brink of elimination, needing two straight wins to keep their Stanley Cup hopes alive.

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.
