- I don't even want to know what narratives are being spun about last night's win. At this point I'm trying to ignore them because more than a few fans seem to think the only think that matters is the score. In a way they're right, of course, but the drum I've been beating all year has been "sustainable play" and this isn't it.
- Here's the raw facts: The Rangers lost the possession battle 59-31, were out-chanced 27-16 and were on the wrong end of a 16-6 high-danger scoring chances differential. Last night -- just like the three games the Rangers lost in a row coming into the game -- was an ugly, ugly game; only this time the Rangers managed to win against a not so good team.
