The Rangers last played on Tuesday night and won’t play again until a week from tonight. It’s Day Three of the break and I’m in withdrawal, as I’m sure some of you are as well. The news is probably going to be slow through the weekend for the All Star Game, but I’m sure we will hear some trade rumors heat up before the Rangers take the ice again next Friday. So here are my weekend thoughts.
1. Kudos to Chris Kreider on his first All Star appearance. I know a lot of people expected the honor to go to Mika Zibanejad once Artemi Panarin bowed out, but it’s a winger/winger swap.
