Despite the notable absence of our Penguins, I confess I’ve really enjoyed watching the Stanley Cup Playoffs this week. There’s nothing quite like the passion, intensity and skill on display as foes battle tooth-and-nail in pursuit of Lord Stanley’s coveted chalice.
For my money, by far the most impressive team thus far has been the Rangers. Locking horns with a fast and talented young Devils squad that recorded the third-most points in the league during the regular season, the New Yorkers have been more than a match for their callow Metro rivals to the tune of a pair of resounding 5-1 victories.
