Remember when the New York Rangers defense helped their netminders?

When reviewing the New York Rangers off season, so far, the biggest addition to the team has been made off the ice. To this point, the hiring of Jacques Martin has been the biggest acquisition for the New York Rangers. He is expected to be an upgrade over Lindy Ruff, who signed on as head coach of cross river rivals, the New Jersey Devils.
