Rangers Grab 2 Points To Close Out Road Trip


Damn, that's so tiiiiny. No offense to you, Marty


To a man I'm sure The Rangers would tell you that they weren't at their best in last night's tustle against The Jets--the final game of a 7 game road trip that brought them from Sweden to Manitoba--but they were good enough to get the win and that's all that matters. Offensively we didn't bring enough shots and pressure to the net, but we managed a Fedotenko power play goal and a long overdue Callahan score to eek out Winnipeg's lone tally. Defenisively, we showed a lot of resiliency as the puck was in our end most of the game. Biron was steady and at times sparkling in his first start since an injury took him out of the lineup last Spring, and an extra long, threatening shift for Richards and Prust in the defensive zone protected the lead. Again, I don't think anyone could say it was a good looking win, but it was 2 points nonetheless, gave us a 3 and 1 record on this Western Canada tour, and some momentum for the Blueshirts and their fans to gear up with moving into the awaited home opener Thursday night against Phil Kessel and the Maple Leafs.
