So, we made it through the gauntlet still up on the whole bunch. If this was a horse race we'd be up by a long neck inside the eighth pole, and lasting with just a couple of taps. Still I don't know how good this team is. Reference Bruins Spring 23'. There are a bunch of very good teams. These Rangers are a resilient bunch. Fast start, slump, righted ship, key injuries at different points in the season. They find a way. And if they play their checking game to blanket level they can beat anyone. The key is playing a lock down checking game backstopped by a top goalie. Don't depend on Shesty, but he's there. Like the Brodeur Devils. Panarin will need to start playing in the slot, lower down. Get playoff ready, his hands, loose pucks, down low. #13 knows how to score those goals, and he's starting to snipe. We need another line to score. Kakko, scoring some dirty goals, and showing a shot. Would like to see some shots between the dots. Defense is fine, especially if Miller cuts down on his not smart plays. The Garden needs to have a throaty roar, like the one at Giants Stadium in 86'.
