PrintThe New York Rangers are continuing the roll, despite some small bumps along the way. However, the Rangers have also surprised basically everyone around the league, and are well on their way to surpassing most of the expectations for this season.
Although, while it is only halfway through the season, there is still a very bright future ahead. Tonight they will face-off against the Winnipeg Jets, who are currently holding the tenth spot in the Eastern Conference. While this may seem like an easy game, the Rangers cannot overlook it as Joe states.
With all of that said, the Rangers are looking for their Conference leading 66th point tonight against the Jets. The Rangers are coming off of a huge 3-2 overtime victory against the Boston Bruins, and need to keep the train rolling. Currently the Blueshirts are deadlocked with the Bruins for first place. With a Bruins loss to the Capitals tonight, the Rangers can be up by themselves with 66 points.

They have absolutely exceeded my expectations for this season already. I figured them to be in the 4th or 5th slot this time of year. Couldn’t be happier I was wrong.
Yeah but he would most likely be put with the Whale to get him up to speed. It’ll be next year at the earliest you’ll see him in a Rangers uniform. Unless some how Torts thinks he’s ready now and rushes him into the line up for some unseen reason.
I could get more love from a Cactus then you..........
Yeah i understand he could use the time playing for the Whales to get acclimated but even if was only brought to the nhl for a few games i’de love to see how he fared. I am really excited about next season and the prospect of us having a real LW like him.
Putting him into games late in the season that might have a lot of playoff implications? I can’t see him getting anything more than 4th line minutes if he’s on the team at all. It’s not like he’s completely dominated NCAA so to expect him to have an immediate impact is setting the bar a little high.

That said, I feel like if he went thru the AHL playoffs with the Whalers, he’d have a better chance of making the big club next August.
That’s the most likely scenario.
People thinking he’s going to just show up here and make a big impact at the end of the season are pipe dreaming. I don’t care how good his skills are or whatever #s he put up, he’ll be lost defensively in our system, and with how much teams D are active in the offense, he’ll wind up being a huge liability out there.
Great shot to make the team out of camp next year (like Stepan did last year).
