Weekend Of Woe For Rangers Fans

After losing a 5-4 shootout with the Penguins on Friday night, this afternoon the New York Rangers played a much tighter game, but with the same result: another Penguins victory, this time 2-0 (with an empty netter).

I'd hoped that the Rangers could improve upon last year's playoff success, but right now it looks like they'll only match it in terms of how deep they go into the postseason. And if this series continues along the current lines, they may actually be swept out of the Second Round and finish with a losing record (4-5, compared to their 6-4 result in 2007). I just hope the Pens are as good as they look, because if they face the Canadiens in the Conference Finals they damn well better be able to knock those jerks out!
