It’s completely understandable that the New York Rangers and their fan base have zero interest in seeing Martin St. Louis and Jeff Gorton achieve any level of success with the Montreal Canadiens. That’s especially so after the upstart Canadiens zipped past the Rangers to grab the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference last season.
But the painful truth is that the Canadiens look like one of the more exciting young teams in the NHL, one that’s going to be a pain in the backside for the Rangers and rest of the conference for years to come.
