Why Not Us?

That’s the question us (Ranger) fans have been asking and I am here to tell you, it’s a fair question to ask.

As we prepare for tonights game 1 Vs the 2x defending champion Tampa Bay Lightning, and 4 years and 4 months removed from the “Letter.”

There is something about this team. No its not the same as teams in years past, there isn’t a room commanding single voice leader, there isn’t charismatic goaltender. Instead this team is lead by a group of voices who any day, any game is the leader and steps into that role, and the goal tender while quite and reserved, lets his save % do most of his talking.

That’s what makes this team fun. While there are ruminants of past Ranger teams. This team has its own identity. That’s the best part of this team.

They showed in the Penguin series, “you need us to score goals?” No problem we will go out there and hang 5 on your goalie.

They showed during the Hurricane series, “You need us to play defense, and get physical?” No problem they went out there and won those games by grinding out finishes. Oh and not to mention once the physicality got to be to much, the Canes looked defeated by the time game 6 was done.

I am looking at this series and I see two great goal tenders. Strong offenses and teams capable to shut down defensively.

But with that RANGERS IN 7!!
