Good evening folks. Long time, no blog.
I figured that for this post, I would link to a blog I wrote on Kukla’s Korner today:
With the New York Rangers getting ready to travel to Western Canada this week, it’ll be nice for them to do so on a positive note as the team came up with [...]
A few weeks ao, I did a guest post on the Rangers Report blog that took a look at how Henrik Lundqvist’s career is shaping compared to Mike Richter.
Here is a sample of what I wrote:
Since the offseason began, it seems that New York Rangers pundits and fans alike have focused on the following topics [...]
In the wake of Donald Brashear taking over the internet last week, Rangers goalie Henrik Lundqvist isn’t taking this fight lightly and he has his own website which you can find by clicking here.
The site had lots of cool Lundqvist related stuff, including a blog though it hasn’t been updated since early last season. [...]
Henrik Lundqvist and Michal Rozsival are the last remaining members of the 2005-06 Rangers team, the first one after the lockout and the first to make the playoffs since 1997.
The Rangers entered last season with five players from that team, Lundqvist, Rozsival, Colton Orr, Blair Betts and Petr Prucha.
Colton Orr signed with Toronto, Blair Betts [...]

Where would the Blueshirts be without Henrik Lundqvist? Well, not up 3-1 over the Washington Capitals in the first round of the Stanley Cup playoffs, that’s for sure.
The “King has been tremendous between the pipes for the Rangers, stopping an astounding 141 of 149 shots while being under siege what seems like the entire round [...]
Last night’s 4-0 debacle at the hands of the Washington Capitals was an ugly one for the Blueshirts.
The team had trouble scoring, both at even strength and on the power play (what else is new), did not play defense the way they are capable of, shot right into Caps’ rookie netminder Simeon Varlamov (made him [...]
Many New York Rangers/hockey pundits and analysts figured that the Washington Capitals’ offense would dominate the Blueshirts in this first round series. However, with two games in the books, those same doubters are scratching their heads as the Rangers are up 2-0 with the next two games at Madison Square Garden beginning tonight.

Many fans and pundits will talk about that in order for the Blueshirts to be successful in the playoffs, they are going to need to get goal scoring from all parts of the team, convert their power play opportunities, give no room to Ovechkin, etc.
