Rangers Recap: Rangers Win 5-2, "Let's Go Lightning"

NEW YORK, NY - APRIL 09: Chris Drury #23 of the New York Rangers scores a first period goal and is joined by Bryan McCabe #28 and Mats Zuccarello #36 in their game against the New Jersey Devils at Madison Square Garden on April 9, 2011 in New York City.  (Photo by Bruce Bennett/Getty Images)

The "Let's Go Lightning" chant from the Ranger faithful at the Garden said it all. The Rangers did what they were supposed to do today, and now it rests in the hands of the Tampa Bay Lightning, who must defeat the Carolina Hurricanes tonight for the Rangers to punch their ticket for the 2011 NHL Playoffs.

Led by Chris Drury, who scored an emotional first goal of the season on his first shift back since suffering a knee injury, the Rangers defeated the New Jersey Devils 5-2 today at Madison Square Garden.

Ryan McDonagh scored the first goal of his NHL career, and Brandon Prust, Wojtek Wolski, and Vinny Prospal added goals for the Blueshirts.

Henrik Lundqvist made 24 saves for the Rangers, who finished with 93 points. In about seven hours, we'll know if it was enough.

So say a prayer for the Lightning, and if the hockey gods shine upon us, tomorrow morning it will still be hockey season.

The game thread for tonight's game will go up at 6:45.

Dear Chris.....

I hereby publicly apologize for all of the negative things I’ve said about you this season.
I don’t promise that I won’t say the same in the future – but you’ve proven me wrong, and I’m admitting it.
May you have the chance to bury a few of those clutch goals during the upcoming playoffs.

I agree with Torts – even if he won’t really talk about it in depth.
It’s absurd that you institute the skills competition to get games to a win-loss scenario – then say that some wins don’t count as much……

Most points in an NHL season by a non-playoff team.

2006-2007 Colorado Avalanche (95 points)

I feel no pity, they won two cups.

by Gabby the Gutless Sniper on Apr 9, 2011 8:26 PM EDT via mobile reply actions  

Yes, yes we did.

And now we’re the second worst team in the NHL.

And further away from the playoffs after that trade. Any truth Stastny is getting moved in offseason to pay Duchene?

by Gabby the Gutless Sniper on Apr 9, 2011 8:33 PM EDT via mobile up reply actions  

God I hope not.

But given the complete ineptitude of our General Manger and team prez I wouldn’t be surprised.

It would piss us all off tremendously though. Not only did Stastny play at the University of Denver, he’s really the best choice to be out next captain, especially with Foote hangin’ up the skates.

Tampa is a bad team to fall behind to..

They have one of the best transition games (especially Stamkos line). Carolina will press and may put some more on the board but TBL will eventually counter and lay the knockout punch.
