Rangers’ first real taste of 2024 playoff adversity ends with a win
NY Post
It’s easy to view the Rangers ride through the early portion of these Stanley Cup playoffs as smooth and without a lot of bumps in the road.
The Rangers have, after all, now won all six of their playoff games after Tuesday night’s stirring 4-3 comeback double-overtime victory over the Hurricanes in Game 2 of the second-round series at the Garden.
Their four-game sweep of the offensively challenged Capitals in the first round was never truly in doubt.
In their Game 1 win over Carolina Sunday at the Garden, they led 3-1 after the first period and had control of the game throughout.
And their win on Tuesday — made possible in the end by a Vincent Trocheck goal at 7:24 of the second overtime — was their 29th comeback victory of the season.
So, for you dreamers amongst Rangers fans, there surely must be visions of the team mowing through these playoffs without much resistance dancing in your heads.
