Rangers Bedevil New Jersey 3-0

...The King of Cheesy Headlines at your service

Quick Hits:

- If you were looking for Avery vs. Broduer to explode out of proportion last night you were sadly let down. Aside from a little love-tap through Avery's legs, it was a pretty subdued match up all game.

- These 60-minute efforts are what Tom Renney desperately pleaded for before being let go as Rangers head coach. Hopefully Tortorella and Co. can sustain the momentum.

- I wish Antropov would shoot more. He passes up quality shooting chances nearly every game to pass, deke, or turn around. I'm sure Toronto felt the same way too.

- Scott Gomez and Ryan Callahan are quickly becoming a deadly offensive pair.

- If the PP was trying to appear as if they had no clue how to generate a shot on net, then they did a nice job stinking up the Garden.

- Following up the first point, kudos to Sean Avery in exercising patience to the max. Along with "Big" Mike Rupp, David Clarkson tried to goad him into a fight and, up 3-0 at that point, Avery didn't flinch. Even while being thrown down to the ice, TWICE! Avery's only mistake was dropping one of his gloves, which in the rulebook, is a 2-minutes penalty for roughing. But only for Sean Avery, no one else.


Until next time...
