* That was one of those rare games that goes from super interesting, to super boring and then back to super interesting. The third period might have been one of the better 20 minutes of hockey I’ve seen in a while. Not better as in the Rangers played well, but

* I missed all of the first period and a good portion of the second (I see I didn’t miss much) so this recap might be a little shorter. In other news, listen to this week’s podcast because you love us. It was a good one. They’re all

* I’m sure that’s exactly how Alain Vigneault wanted to celebrate his two-year extension, with his team playing the first 40 minutes as though they didn’t know there was a game Tuesday night. This has become something of a theme this year, no? The Rangers using the first

In the midst of the New York Rangers interesting past few weeks (good, then bad, then healthy, then confusion) Jimmy Vesey’s massive struggles of late have been somewhat overlooked. The NCAA rookie forward (who still does have 11 goals to his name) has seen both his production and shot

* This is the third installment of “trust the process not the result” that probably could have had a couple more but sometimes I forget this is an option. Basically, for those who are new to the game, this is saying “the Rangers played really well, deserved to win and lost

* What an astoundingly boring hockey game. For a Sunday matinee on NBC against two teams that had at least provided some excitement the last couple of times they’ve played each other, that was brutal. Even so, the Rangers were pretty thoroughly dominated in shots, scoring chances and expected goals.

* The Rangers were coming off a three-game losing streak that’s had everyone questioning everything. Alain Vigneault was at a loss to the media. Henrik Lundqvist was spitting fire after the games. Derek Stepan was talking about how embarrassing the Rangers’ effort was. It was a dark time, and to

Of the two darlings in the preseaon Brandon Pirri might have stood out the most. Oh don’t get me wrong, Adam Clendening was doing wondrous things, too, but it was Pirri who was scoring every night. Pirri who seemingly couldn’t stop. And Pirri who was forcing his way
