The Test At The Tank

Tonight's match-up  against the NHL leading San Jose Sharks will be a game that will define the direction of this team for the rest of the season.

Now, after the conclusion of the Mats Sundin saga, this Ranger team will find out where they stand in comparison to the league's best squad.

Can this group band together with the pieces they have, and show that their current place in the standings is no fluke. 

Can they start to score goals consistently up and down the lineup? Or will Henrik Lundqvist have to continue to carry this team through the post season?

Does Glen Sather have to make a drastic trade for new personnel in order to push this team to elite status?


We will learn a lot about the character and direction of this  Rangers team after tonight's game.

Don't put too much on one regular season game. Especially when that game is the third on a long Western swing. A win goes a long way, but a loss still leaves a very successful road trip.
