Due to another Spectrum incident yesterday, I missed enough of the game that I can’t do any type of coherent notes. Whatever, who wants to talk about last night anyway? The trade deadline? Now that’s where it’s at. Today is February 27th, two and a half days

* That game was interesting to say the least. The Rangers went from all out domination the first 40 minutes to getting their teeth knocked out the next 10 minutes and then managing to pull out a win in overtime. Antti Raanta gave up two very soft goals, Adam Clendening saved

I missed enough of the Rangers loss to the Islanders last night that I couldn't, in good faith, do any type of notes story. So rather than that, we’ll do this. Here’s something that’s been bugging me for a while: The idea of the Rangers

There’s been a long list of surprises so far this year. * Michael Grabner * Nick Holden’s early explosion of offense * Jimmy Vesey’s early goal-scoring tear * Brady Skjei’s offensive production (reminder: I am a fool) * Pavel Buchnevich being far more NHL polished than I thought he would
