Honestly, I can look at the field and find a reason for 15 of the 20 horses to win.

What would playoff hockey be without the Rangers playing the Capitals?
In the last 48 hours, the Rangers have completely revamped their team -- not only for the playoff push, but moving forward for next season.
The lockout was a disaster. Everyone knows it, and we blogged and tweeted about it. But now we move forward and start talking about actual hockey. I don't know about you, but I am fired up. Now it's time to look at the Rangers and how they stack up this season.
For all you hockey fans, I know that you will be back, as will I. But for the rest of the country, the NHL's existence is just a nasty rumor at this point. It's a joke on both ends. I hate the NHL.
The NHL and NHLPA both said the same thing to hockey fans: Screw you and your loyalty to our league!
You have to give Rangers general manager Glen Sather all the credit in the world. He waited... and waited... and waited...
Last week Monzo talked about New York's needs, and what could happen through free agency. This week, he looks at two trade possibilities.
As it has become tradition, the Rangers are in search of offense, perhaps some grit and a puck moving defenseman. However, this group of free agents is thin. Here are the players I think the Rangers should and will pursue.
There have been 11 horses since 1978 to take the first two jewels of the Triple Crown, only to falter at the Belmont Stakes. I'll Have Another has a chance to make history -- or become No. 12.
For the Rangers, it's time to keep their heads up and get ready to put together the pieces of a disappointing ending to an otherwise excellent season.
When the puck drops in Game 5, the Rangers need to be the dominant team. They haven't done it all series. It's time for the entire squad to step up.
The 2012 Preakness Stakes is all but here, the 137th running of the second jewel of the prestigious Triple Crown.
There were three things that stood out to me more than anything last night, and they were the play of Michael Del Zotto, Ryan McDonagh and Carl Hagelin.
For the team and their fans, Tuesday will be a good day -- but it won't last for long. On Wednesday night, the Rangers will be playing a team looking to elude elimination.
This year's Derby is interesting because there are eight to 10 horses that can win without surprise, which makes this race a hard one to handicap. But, hey, Monzo is going to give it a shot anyway.
Based on what I've seen, as long as the Rangers can find a way to consistently score (the $50,000 question), there seems to be no way they lose this series to the Capitals.
Going into Game 2 against Washington, the Rangers certainly understand the Caps aren't going to go away.
Thursday night's Game 7 was exactly what everyone thought it would be: low-scoring and stressful.
Neil Keefe is joined by Brian Monzo to talk about the Rangers' Game 6 win over the Senators and what to expect in Game 7 on Thursday night.
The house will be loud and ready to go Thursday at MSG. I would expect the Rangers to be the same.
This team all season has reacted to adversity the way a championship team does. They handle business, and I don't see any way that the Rangers allow the Senators to win another game this series.
Playoff hockey is great. But the NHL is close to -- if not already -- losing control of its players.
I have been to a lot of hockey games. I have been to a lot of playoff hockey games. And I have never been to a game as physical and as mean as there was last night at Madison Square Garden.
Game 1 defined what the Rangers have done all season. They worked harder than the opposing team for the majority of the game and found ways to score timely goals.
