What’s behind these unusual Rangers scoring explosions
NY Post
Three times this season, the Rangers have generated an offensive torrent of eight or more goals in a single game.
There was the 9-0 dismantling of the Flyers on March 17, the 8-3 rout in Philadelphia eight days later, and then the convincing 8-4 win over the Penguins on Tuesday. The Blueshirts have now recorded eight or more goals in at least three different games in a season for the first time since the team did it on five occasions in 1992-93. It’s a testament to the overload of high-end skill this roster possesses. The last Rangers team capable of stringing together that many games with that kind of offensive explosion had the likes of Mark Messier, Sergei Zubov, Adam Graves, Brian Leetch, Sergei Nemchinov, Mike Gartner and Mike Richter – the core group of players who delivered the Stanley Cup to New York 27 years ago.More Related News
