Weekend of Games in DC and vs. Buffalo
Well folks, another 2 games have been played this weekend, which is continuing to wind down the season and it’s becoming more and more apparent that the Rangers will most likely not be making the playoffs this year. Their offense showed nothing on Saturday as they lost to the Caps 2-0 and again was on one of their many goalless streaks this year. This one went back to the 2nd period of the Pens game and was a total of 149:30. Tonight they finally managed to get one late in the 3rd to break it. Dubinsky broke the drought and looks like the Rangers will get at least a point out of this and indeed that’s what they got, as they lose again 2-1 in OT. Lundqvist was solid again tonight and Auld was decent last night as well despite allowing 2 goals.
Again, I’m feeling that this is still gonna be a lost year and I’m not expecting much from them even if they manage to sneak into postseason play in the 6th, 7th or 8th spot since the top teams are miles ahead of them. I’m not being a pessimist, but a realist that this team has too many weaknesses and is just simply mediocre at best. They next play at NJ on Wed which will be another tightly played contest.
Anyway, not much else to say except will have next posting on Wed. night.
Until next time,
Howie
