The Rangers are back in action, traveling to St. Louis to take on the pretty bad but should be better Blues. Looking at the Blues lineup, they should be better than they are, even if the lineup is a bit long in the tooth. They have talent up front, decent depth, and a pretty decent blue line. They just don’t have it all together.
Former Rangers Pavel Buchnevich, Sammy Blais, and Kevin Hayes will all be in action tonight for those wanting to relive the “glory days” of yesteryear. Naturally, that term is used very loosely.
This is a good landing spot for a Rangers team that got a bit goalied against Vancouver the other night. Will Cuylle gets a look at 1RW too in the revolving door that is the 1RW spot on the Rangers the last few seasons.
