- While the Rangers were sleepwalking their way through a 1-0 deficit that was creeping over the halfway mark of the game I started thinking about you guys (well, rather, what I was going to write here). Those are the types of games where if you lose there are a lot of built in excuses; the Rangers were coming off a tough loss to the Flyers, on the road the day before having to come back home and expected to bring it against a team that had a day to sit around New York and relax.
