Rangers on the Brink
 The
New York Rangers were destroyed last night by the Boston Bruins who
are one of the top team in the Wales Conference. This was just
another example of how the Rangers are not ready to compete against
the top teams in the conference or the NFHL. Now 3-6-1 in their last
10 games, the Rangers are tied with the Montreal Canadiens for the
final playoff spot. The Quebec Nordiques are also hot on their tail
going 6-3-1 in their last 10 and sitting just 2 points behind the
Rangers for that final playoff spot. It certainly seems that the
Rangers will miss the playoffs this season unless they make a big
move at the deadline, which does not seem like a reality. They have
already taken on quite a bit of salary this season and have dealt
away prospects. It would be surprising to see them move any more
youth for veteran players in what seems to be another lost season.
