Rangers: Just Win Baby

If the NHL brass are to get their wish, then the Rangers must win tonight, beat the Senators, and take the bull by the horns.

Returning, and starting for the first time since his injury, Henrik Lundqvist hopes to be the anchor for a team reeling from a four game losing streak.

Mike Celizic of MSNBC writes of the possibilites may be in wait if the Rangers can win tonight.

It would be the perfect ending to a perfect comeback season. It would be New York’s mighty media machine and the Rangers, which isn’t just the most recognizable ice hockey team in the United Sates, but also a true Cinderella.

Less than two weeks ago, that scenario looked as likely as any other. That was when the Rangers, the one recognizable U.S. brand name in the game, was sailing along on top of the Atlantic Division, a veritable juggernaut of a hockey team with the league’s leading scorer and perhaps most spectacular player, Jaromir Jagr, leading the way.

But now the hopes of the Rangers are hanging by a thread. As Al Davis of the Raiders always said, they need to hit the ice and "just win baby".
