After the New York Rangers got smoked like a Cuban cigar on their home ice by the Montreal Canadiens two Saturdays ago, a lot of people were questioning whether the Rangers would be better off finishing in the first wild card slot or not.
The Rangers don’t exactly match up well with the Habs. The Canadiens went out at the deadline and picked up some big bodies such as Steve Ott and Dwight King. In theory, Ott, King and the slower Canadiens team would get out skated by the Rangers. After all, you can’t hit what you can’t catch, right?
