NEW YORK -- Challenge the New York Rangers with any type of adversity, any type of style of play, physical or otherwise, and really any type of opponent other than the 2013-14 Los Angeles Kings, and they will not break.
"You can't ever count this group out regardless of what happens," New York captain Ryan McDonagh said.
No one ever should; the Rangers have proven at least that much in two seasons under coach Alain Vigneault.
They are back in the Eastern Conference Final for a second straight season because for a second straight season they found a way to recover from a 3-1 deficit in the second round.
