The Rangers made a dramatic comeback against Anaheim on Sunday, scoring 5 straight to eliminate a 2-0 deficit and cruise to a 5-2 win. Now the Rangers hope to ride that momentum against the lowly San Jose Sharks, who are just not good at all. However these same Sharks pushed the Rangers at MSG in a one goal game. On any given day…
The good news for the Blueshirts is they have the ability to ride that momentum against a bad team. Sometimes you just need to see one go in every now and then, and perhaps getting that second strong win in a row will be a good thing for the Blueshirts. It’s clear they can’t wait for their upcoming bye week. They just needed to survive.
