Columbus and Philly both have played the same amount of games so if Columbus can win in regulation they are only down 2 points with 6 to play. It is possible. But a win tonight is a must for any realistic chance

Part of me wants to believe that part of the reason they sent down Miller is because they expect Kreider to be ready by the playoffs and are fine with rolling with Carcillo til then. Small chance but I got to hope.

I don't think AV is very comfortable with Miller at all, plus Hartford has games tomorrow, saturday and sunday so Miller should get lots of playing time there instead of being a healthy scratch with the big club.

I didn't realize the Rangers are 23-8 over there last 31 road games. Just think where they could be if they played the same way at home

they lost a lot of games earlier this year at home when they should have at least gotten it into overtime too, seemed like a half dozen times it was tied late and they gave up a very late goal to lose the game.

Only 4 loser points all year.

Full morning skate expected today. Anyone willing to bet against McDonagh playing? Its highly doubtful but this also the same guy that healed from a torn ACL in 5 minutes.

I know there was a lot of debate about resigning DG, but i'm sorry, heart and soul like that rubs off on players and honestly i'm really liking home grown... it shows that the organization is one you can depend on, not one hiring horrible mercenaries in the 90s/2000s...

found this write up of the other college guy we signed:

Chris McCarthy (Vermont) — C – Signed with the New York Rangers on March 31 – The Rangers made their second solid signing of the college free agent season by locking up Vermont senior captain Chris McCarthy. The fifth-year senior had a fantastic campaign, posting 42 points in 38 games for the Catamounts, helping the team reach the NCAA tournament. McCarthy was a do-everything forward for Vermont and if you watched the team’s opening-round loss to Union, you’ll know just how important he was to the Catamounts’ lineup. He scored twice in the game, but played monster minutes on a team that lacked depth. McCarthy, who was awarded a redshirt after having his first junior season was derailed by injury made the most of his extra year of eligibility. Over his second junior season and this year, McCarthy posted 73 points in 74 games. At 6-1, 205, he has a good frame and uses it well. McCarthy tacked on a ton of muscle over his five years at Vermont and it helps him to be strong on the puck and tough to move out of the hard areas of the ice. He battles extremely well and has a powerful stride. He’s not the quickest guy on the ice, but he gets to where he needs to go and plays a very strong north-south game. McCarthy often drew tough line matchups as well as his two-way game is advanced. He could one day be a bottom-six forward with some scoring potential, but more than anything he adds organizational depth at this point. It’s a solid signing by the Rangers either way as McCarthy plays a style that should translate to the NHL if he’s ever needed.
