Rangers-Lightning has a familiar ring to it

Both are worth the clicks.

I will have Rangers-Bolts matchups and predictions in the morning. Then stuff from practice in the afternoon.

Ryan Callahan was on the ice at practice for the Tampa Bay Lightning on Thursday, a couple of days removed from an emergency appendectomy.

Of course he was. Just rub some dirt on it.

Of course, this is what is going to make this Eastern Conference final so intriguing — and so difficult.

The Rangers have, once again, shown us the blood-and-guts makeup of their core in these playoffs — a well-earned rep over a four-year span in which they will now play their 12th playoff series.
