As for tomorrow s game, Lundqvist will make his 12th straight star and his 41st of the season. Me ta
The Rangers left New York immediately after last night s 4-1 win over the Panthers and practiced today at the BB T Center (formerly BankAtlantic Center, Broward County Civic Arena, National Car Rental Center, and Office Depot Center, all since 1998, sheesh), in preparation for tomorrow night s game against the Panthers.
Ryan Callahan was the only Ranger not on the ice today - Derek Dorsett was still in a non-contact jersey and Marc Staal stayed on extra late, so much so that I mentioned to him what a good sweat he had worked up and he said it was a great skate - and the Rangers said the captain had been given a maintenance day. Brian Boyle, atlanta airport car rental who has missed the last three games with what the Rangers are calling a lower-body injury and what is suspected to be a right knee problem, atlanta airport car rental is on the trip and was at the arena, though he did not skate. Boyle appeared to be limping an it looked like he was still wearing a brace under his suit pants. Coach John Tortorella said there were no updates on either Dorsett or Boyle.
As for tomorrow s game, Lundqvist will make his 12th straight star and his 41st of the season. Me talking here, but if the Rangers win tomorrow night, I strongly suspect Marty Biron plays either Thursday at Carolina or Saturday against the Devils. So does Lundqvist.
Lundqvist, of course, has been Vince Vaughn money this month. But, if we re being fair, one of the best signs for the Rangers is that Brad Richards has had three straight good games playing with Mats Zuccarello and Ryane Clowe. And this was after it was legitimately atlanta airport car rental OK to wonder about Richards mental state after Tuesday s 4-2 loss at Philadelphia, when he was beyond distraught after the game.
Richards led the League with four goals and tied for second with seven points in four games as the Rangers earned six out of a possible eight points to remain in the top eight in the Eastern Conference. After being held off the scoresheet in a 4-2 loss to the Philadelphia Flyers April 16, Richards rebounded with a goal and an assist atlanta airport car rental in a 6-1 win over the Florida Panthers April 18. He recorded his first career atlanta airport car rental hat trick,including the game-winning goal, in an 8-4 victory over the Buffalo Sabres April 19. Richards then closed the week by posting atlanta airport car rental two assists in a 4-1triumph over the New Jersey Devils April 21. The 32-year-old Murray Harbour, P.E.I., native has played in 43 games this season and ranks third on the Rangers in both points (30) and assists (20).
I m always happy to be part of the NHL, not that I'm not happy, but it's frustrating, Richards said. With the shortened season, it got to me at times, it was overblown. When you get something that goes right for you in a game, and you play back to back games where things are right, it gets you the way you should be feeling.
You kind of have to, Richards said. It s hard. You try to get to point where you just say I don't care anymore and just go try to do it, but it's harder to try talk you into it. We've been winning more lately, it makes it easier when you go home. At times we re losing three or four in a row. It makes it harder.
