No Help Last Night
The Rangers are finally back in action tonight, at home against the struggling Sabres (7:00pm – MSG2). There’s talk in Sabreland about the possibility that Buffalo might finally bid adieu to Lindy Ruff and Darcy Regier, who’ve been with the team since 1997 – that’s 129 NHL level coaching changes ago for those wondering.
It’s an important game for the Rangers, who had to watch the Hurricanes, Flyers and Penguins all win. The two points by Carolina mean that New York is now in seventh spot and with both the fourth and fifth placed team picking up two points, the Rangers will have to win tonight just to keep pace.
