Who are these strangers from a foreign land? The last time we saw the Rangers, they were a very, very bad team with a goalie who had the knack of beating the Maple Leafs. Things have changed a little as they do a rapid retool and rebuild. If you’re expecting the Buffalo Sabres just with big city arrogance, you’re off the mark.
Most predictions have the Rangers flirting with a wildcard spot and they could grab a Metro playoff birth if the other teams cooperate. This is game four for the Rangers, and they have a bad loss to Washington, an OT loss to the Stars and a win over Montréal heading into tonight’s contest.
