I’m heading over to Greenburgh this afternoon to watch the third-place Rangers — they were passed on Sunday by the 2014 November Cup champs — get back to practice after getting one of a possible six points, and flushing the other five down the plumbing in Western Canada.
Yes, they have plumbing in Western Canada.
The Rangers are prepping for that dreaded “first game back from a trip of three games or more” Tuesday against Edmonton. Then the NHL schedule-makers send them back to the middle of the continent for back-to-backs in Minnesota and Winnipeg, and another three in four nights.
