I've come to recognize the pattern in recent years. It goes like this: the Rangers aren't doing very well - usually out of a playoff position - but then things start to look up ever so slightly, just enough to get their fans' hopes up, and then they suffer a key injury in a loss that should've been a win. We've reached that point today.
Following a three game winning streak which almost got them back into the playoff race, they blew this afternoon's game to the league's worst team (the Flyers), and in the process of that disgrace, lost star forward Brendan Shanahan to what sounds like a serious injury. With 24 games left, they probably need to go at least 16-8 down the stretch in order to get into the post-season, and now they're short one of their best players. Stick a fork in them.. they're done (again).
