* I know the Rangers lost, but I really don’t think they played a terrible game. Most of the first half of this year (and basically all of last year) the Rangers won a ton of games by getting out-shot, out-chanced and hunkering down while making the most of their

This year might have one of the best rookie crops in recent memory. Patrik Laine is threatening to be a 40-goal scorer. Actually, so is Auston Matthews. Mitch Marner might hit 60 points and William Nylander will approach 55. (Yes, Toronto is dominating the top of this list. No, I

* Only in New York can a guy go from the AHL one day to the top line in the NHL less than 24 hours later. Already people attributed Pavel Buchnevich’s brilliant goal and confidence to his stint in the AHL. I think that takes a lot of credit away
