Rangers blocking out playoff chatter
NY Post
Thinking back to last season, when the Rangers hit a hot streak that burned from February until play was suspended in mid-March, there was a fearlessness about the team.
The Blueshirts amassed a 13-7-1 record, earning points in 14 of the final 21 games of the 2019-20 regular season. Hopes of a playoff berth quickly went from an unattainable dream to a blistering reality that they would have to continue to fight for. “This time of year, scratch and claw and get as many points as you can,” former defenseman Marc Staal (traded to Detroit in September 2020) said after the 3-2 overtime loss to the Avalanche on March 11, before he knew that would be their last game for nearly five months.More Related News
