Thoughts:
1) Right now, at this very moment, I think the Rangers are not as good as they were when they last played a hockey game. That’s just me. But when they were eliminated, I thought that they had only one legit first-line player, and he proved once again incapable of scoring enough big goals at big times to be a big difference maker, and now that Martin St. Louis was obviously finished here, it was going to be a big ask for J.T. Miller and/or Jesper Fast to play top six minutes, and as we found out, Mats Zuccarello’s health is going to at the very least be a concern.
