This Is It
NHLHS writer Brandon Augienello calls it like he sees it for the New York Rangers heading into tonight’s contest against the Toronto Maple Leafs, on the heels of last night’s big loss to the Buffalo Sabres.
The last of a six game road trip saw the Rangers worst effort, to a man. With the exception of the fourth liners, this team simply looked like they were out of gas, as the Buffalo Sabres defeated the Rangers, by the final of 5-2.
For Buffalo, this victory clinched the Northeast Division title and still kept them in the hunt to grab the second seed in the Eastern conference. But this isn’t about Buffalo, who is sitting pretty, largely on the shoulders of MVP-candidate Ryan Miller. No, this is about the New York Rangers, who have a similarly all-world goaltender, who just so happened to let them down last night.
