Marc Staal remains out indefinitely
|
Posted by Toby Ivey ≡ 12:12:16 PM - May 16, 2013
The Rangers go into tonight's game once again missing the services of Marc Staal, Ryane Clowe and Darroll Powe. The trio played in just a one, two and three games respectively in the Capitals series, with all three missing the final two wins. For Boston, things are a little more unsettled. Brad Marchand will play after injuring himself in the morning skate, but defenders Wade Redden, Dennis Seidenberg and Andrew Ference will likely all be out tonight. Seidenberg did play in the Game 7 while Redden missed Game 5 & 7 and Ference missed the last two. Read more >>

It's Okay To Be Optimistic

Rangers fans could be forgiven to be pessimistic. The franchise has won only one Cup in the past 72 seasons, and has missed the playoffs 13 times in the past 40 years. They have a losing record in the playoffs - wins/losses - against each of the other original six teams, and didn't secure a playoff spot until the second to last game of the season more

Why They Never Met

It's hard to imagine why the Bruins and Rangers have taken over 40 years to meet again in the playoffs. There was of course the 2004-05 season was lost to a lockout, and neither team made the playoffs in the 1999-00 and 2000-01 seasons, and the Bruins were also out of the post-season in 1996-97, as well as the two seasons following the lockout - 2005-06 and 2006-07 more

The last time the Rangers and Bruins met in the playoffs was April 10th, 1973, or to put it another way, it will have been 14,645 days. Richard Nixon was in the whitehouse, and the Sears Tower wouldn't be completed within the month more

An Historic Performance

Last night the Rangers did something the franchise had never done since coming into the league in 1926 - win on the road in Game 7. Four previous attempts had ended in losses, including a triple OT and double OT loss in the early years to Boston (1939) and Detroit (1950) respectively, as well as Chicago (1971) and Philadelphia (1974) more

Game 7 Experience

The Rangers go into tonight's deciding Game 7 in D.C. with a 1-10 record in the last 11 games played in the Capitals' home building. That solitary victory was the triple OT game last year, which was finally ended by Marian Gaborik. If the Blueshirts are to advance, they're going to have to overcome that record, which includes going 0-3 in this series, albeit two of those games requiring OT more

Henrik Lundqvist donned the armour, and stoned the Caps, leading the Rangers to a gutsy Sunday afternoon 1-0 shutout. Derick Brassard provided the only goal needed at 9.39 of the second period to ensure a seventh game tonight in Washington to determine a last man standing series more

| RUMOR MILL |
Wednesday - March 20th
According to ESPN the Rangers are interested in 36 year old defenseman Dan Boyle of the San Jose Sharks.
Boyle has one more year on his contract after this season, and carries a $6M cap hit, so the Rangers would have to move some money back the other way.
This might make a deal difficult, unless the Sharks (or another team) would be willing to take on Marian Gaborik.
