* This offense is crazy. Five wins in a row. Five games in a row where the Rangers have scored five or more goals. The Rangers didn’t play particularly good game Sunday night, with Winnipeg coming in on fresh legs and the Rangers playing their second night of a back

The New York Rangers have been better than we thought they would be. I know that seems like an obvious statement now, but about a month ago no one guessed the Rangers would be anywhere near the level where they are right now. The main reasoning is a significantly upgraded

The New York Rangers have waived Dylan McIlrath, attempting to send him back down to Hartford McIlrath (NYR) & Paajarvi (STL) on waivers — Elliotte Friedman (@FriedgeHNIC) October 27, 2016 McIlrath will need to pass through waivers to make it to the AHL, though, and there’s a very good chance

* I have a funny feeling we’re going to see more games like that than people think. Other teams making quick work of the Rangers’ (lack of) defense and the offense having to pick up the slack. We’ve seen that happen a few times this year but this time
