Rangers’ recent history provides warning against dilapidated Devils
NY Post
Three years ago, the Rangers were decimated and dispirited following the breakup of that old gang of theirs at the deadline, which followed the organizational decision to shift the blueprint from the present to the future.
They were down, and all but literally out, upon embarking on a three-game trip through western Canada … that the Blueshirts swept by defeating, in order, the Canucks, Flames and Oilers. Now, the Rangers did surrender a sum of 107 shots in the opening two, so that may not be worthy of celebration. But Henrik Lundqvist became the third goaltender in NHL history, and the first since Gump Worsley in 1963, to record consecutive 50-save victories (6-5, 3-1, the latter on his 36th birthday) before Alexandar Georgiev recorded his first NHL triumph to complete the sweep.More Related News
