The Missing Link
by Steven Zeltser
Twenty-One games left in the season, five points out of the 8th and final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference, arguably one of the best players in the league Jaromir Jagr is your captain, Henrik Lundqvist is your goaltender, playing as well as you can ask your goaltender to play, Marcel Hossa is scoring, Petr Prucha is picking it up, Hollweg, Orr, Avery are all doing their jobs. The lines are balanced. The scoring is starting to come from players other than the big 3 of Jagr, Straka and Nylander. Even without Brendan Shanahan the Rangers don’t seem hungry for offense. So the question lies, what is this team missing?
