Sorry I’ve been a bit MIA. I’ve been very busy over at my other site, GiantsGab, but now that the draft is over, I have a little bit more time on my hands.

So, the Caps lost. That happened. It was a very similar series to the Rangers one last year, but the Caps just couldn’t score at all. Jaroslav Halak played better than Lundqvist played last year, and Hank was great. Simply amazing. If we had beaten Philly, that could have been us. But, alas, no.

It’s interesting though. The Rangers, unless they make changes, are going to be a bubble playoff team. They could be the eighth seed. Or they could be the sixth seed. Or the eleventh seed. The East is so wide open, that a bubble team has a chance to make a run. With Lundqvist anything is possible. I still want scoring. I want some more grit, especially on the defensive end. Someone like Jay McKee would be nice. Cheap, solid defensive players are the way to go. I really think this team is a secondary scorer and a crease clearing d-man from making a run. If they play their cards right, they could be the next Canadiens.

I know that was a bit disorganized, and a bit rant-ish, but I do believe the Rangers aren’t that far away from making a deep run. Let’s hope they make the right moves.
