Rangers’ burgeoning youth providing plenty of hope for bright future
NY Post
The doom and gloom surrounding the Rangers this season has been all encompassing, draining and taxing.
A 6-2 thrashing of the last-place Blackhawks isn’t going to completely clear the sky, but it stopped the downpour — even if only momentarily.
Coming off a weekend in which Filip Chytil dazzled and a couple of prospects played integral roles in Team USA’s IIHF World Junior Championship repeat gold medal win, however, the sun appears to be shining on the future of the Blueshirts organization.
Chytil had the same pop and swagger in the past two games that he showed through the first month and a half of the season, before the Czech center missed seven games for an upper-body injury that was deemed not a concussion.
Posting three goals on six shots in the past two games, Chytil set a new season-high point streak of four contests.
He appeared to be heating up the two games before that, too, when the 25-year-old ripped a pass off the boards to spring Brett Berard for his breakaway goal vs. the Bruins after he went five-hole on Panthers goalie Sergei Bobrovsky in the previous game in Florida.
The Mets–Yankees pipeline remains strong this offseason.
The Chiefs may be down another quarterback.
Draymond Green got tossed again, but this time, he has a point.
Andy Reid isn’t going anywhere.
The Yankees are bringing back another swingman.
It is not about any one thing.
The Rangers have another injury worry on their hands.
The loudest ovation of Friday night’s 116-107 loss to the 76ers had nothing to do with the Knicks’ pregame celebration for winning the NBA Cup.
Tyler Shough isn’t just a quarterback that the Jets let get away.
There are nights during an 82-game season where every lingering issue around a team crashes down on it all at once, creating a veritable tsunami of a loss.
Another day, another AL East team making a big splash, and the only white smoke around Yankee Stadium is coming out of fans’ ears given their frustration over a quiet offseason to date.
The Knicks’ legs just weren’t there.
Tony Jefferson’s best friends told him to stay retired.
