- The glow has really left this team, hasn't it? Maybe it's more of a feeling than reality, but the team that came out in October is not the team that's been around since the Canada trip -- which is a problem. This team

* After 20 minutes of hockey last night the New York Rangers looked listless, couldn't string two passes together, were getting crushed in possession and found themselves down 2-0. In between periods I tweeted the following:/ Injuries to Ziba and Buch aside, this has been about as bad a

* I went to sleep right after the game ended Sunday night, not in the mood to argue on Twitter or figure out whatever happened to Mika Zibanejad. He’s out 6-8 weeks per Alain Vingeault, which is honestly way better than I thought it was going to be. Derek Stepan

* This past weekend has started to slowly surface those last year fears where the Rangers are winning games on the back of their goalie but getting dominated in possession. Neither Calgary nor Edmonton saw the Rangers on the right side of that possession line, and the team used some hot

I missed all but the first period, so this is going to be a little light on the content. No matter, I’ve demanded more comments from you guys anyway so take it away! * I told you once Pavel Buchnevich scored his first goal they were going to come in

* It’s a classic trap game. The Rangers are streaking red-hot having won five games in a row. The Canucks are about as cold as cold can be, loser of nine straight. It’s a trap, guys. We knew it was going to be a trap. * This was one of

* 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

* On the podcast Wednesday we got into talking about whether or not we thought the Rangers' success was going to be sustainable. Not on a level like last year -- this lineup is vastly superior up front -- but from the standpoint of what happens when the Rangers aren&

* The Rangers have now truly spanked some of the best teams in the league. They ran through the Lightning like a hot knife through butter Sunday and then did the same thing to the Blues on Tuesday. The Ranger's offense scored 11 goals in those two games and

* The Rangers’ offense keeps getting tested. They’ve won games where they’ve had to bail out Henrik Lundqvist or the defense. They’ve won games where they’ve had to do all the transition work because the defense can’t do it for them. They’ve won games where

* When I complain about poor lineup decisions or defensive pairings from Alain Vigneault I’m often met with things like “well the Rangers are winning games so it doesn’t matter.” Friday afternoon my complaints about the defensive pairs was met with “the Rangers are 5-2 so you’re not

* 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
