Hooray for the Rangers! (hockey)
Any other Rangers fans around? If there are, I think you should all be pleased. The Rangers made good work out of the draft in getting Alvaro Montoya, and now have a rotation of 4 solid goalies (Montoya, Dan Blackburn, Henrik Lundqvist, and Jason LaBarbera) looking to compete for a spot, which should add to their development. Also, they get a bunch of good, physical, net-crashing forwards in the draft. Remember the last time the Rangers had one of those? His name was Adam Graves. Anyway, they also didn't draft any defensemen, and as much as I'd like to have seen them pick up Boris Valabik (the enforcer who went to Atlanta), their not picking up any defensemen implies that they're going to hustle for some good ones on the free agent market (hopefully Leetch is among them). Looks to me like the rebuilding is going well so far. If the NHL is actually in business next season, I'm looking forward to seeing how the Rangers do.
