A Call to Arms

How fitting that both local teams in the playoffs, the Rangers and Devils, will have elimination Game 7's tonight to play for a chance to move on in Lord Stanley's playoffs. For the Rangers, a multitude of questions hang in the balance:

Will New York withstand the Capitals initial offensive onslaught? Or will they fold under the immense pressure?

Will Henrik Lundqvist continue his concerning play of late? Or will he rise up and perform a miracle of biblical proportions only seen rarely on frozen surfaces?

Will Ovechkin run wild over the Rangers D? Or will they dig deep and find a way to stymie the offensive juggernaut?

Will the likes of Gomez, Dury, Naslund, and Redden live up to their expensive reputations and lead their team to a victory? Or wilt in the face of adversity?

-------

It's a call to arms - to not only the Rangers, but to the fans. Unite for your team around the world where ever you may be. Believe as one that your team will find a way tonight to pull out a victory many think belongs in the hands of the Capitals. Faith is paramount here - no other will do. Fight with them, not against them. Glory awaits for the ones who yearn the most.

Game 7 @ WSH 7:00pm start

Until next time....
