Friday In Buffalo And Saturday In Ottowa

What did I learn from the Rangers games this weekend? Nothing. Absolutely nothing.  The Sabers and Senators are sleepwalking these days. I can't remember the last time the Rangers went to Ottowa and didn't get pasted from wire to wire until Saturday. Who was the impostor of the Ottowa Senators that played the Rangers???
   Ryan Miller was as good as Stevie V Friday night. But yet again. Who were those impostors in Sabers uniforms? That wasn't the Lindy Ruff coached team that I have been accustomed to seeing . Albeit, the Sabers did use a 5 man forecheck at times during the game. But not nearly as much as they normally do against NY.
   The Rangers played like The NY Rangers usually play in 2008-2009.  No forecheck, very few scoring chances, and borderline defense. Good enough to tie and win  for 3 points in Buffalo and Ottowa. This road trip is about beating the teams you are supposed to beat at this point of the season. The Rangers did that so far.

    Ottawa is not the team they were 2 season's ago. Absolutely no passion, but plenty of talent. It doesn't make sense.

    I have to say that I believe that Buffalo is still a Lindy Ruff hockey team. Solid goal tending (44 shots by the Rangers) and you are held accountable (benching) by Coach Ruff if your performance is not there.

    The Rangers are what they are, but 3 of 4 points is acceptable no matter who you play.
