* This offense is crazy. Five wins in a row. Five games in a row where the Rangers have scored five or more goals. The Rangers didn’t play particularly good game Sunday night, with Winnipeg coming in on fresh legs and the Rangers playing their second night of a back

* On the podcast Wednesday we got into talking about whether or not we thought the Rangers' success was going to be sustainable. Not on a level like last year -- this lineup is vastly superior up front -- but from the standpoint of what happens when the Rangers aren&

* The Rangers have now truly spanked some of the best teams in the league. They ran through the Lightning like a hot knife through butter Sunday and then did the same thing to the Blues on Tuesday. The Ranger's offense scored 11 goals in those two games and

* The Rangers’ offense keeps getting tested. They’ve won games where they’ve had to bail out Henrik Lundqvist or the defense. They’ve won games where they’ve had to do all the transition work because the defense can’t do it for them. They’ve won games where

* When I complain about poor lineup decisions or defensive pairings from Alain Vigneault I’m often met with things like “well the Rangers are winning games so it doesn’t matter.” Friday afternoon my complaints about the defensive pairs was met with “the Rangers are 5-2 so you’re not

* I have a funny feeling we’re going to see more games like that than people think. Other teams making quick work of the Rangers’ (lack of) defense and the offense having to pick up the slack. We’ve seen that happen a few times this year but this time

* The New York Rangers played probably their worst game of the year last night and still came away with two points. OK, they definitely played their worst game of the year and still came away with two points. This offense is going to be able to steal games for the

* I’m relatively positive the Rangers of last year wouldn’t have won that game. I don’t like making those generalizations because in truth we don’t know, but the Rangers’ ability to roll four lines made an enormous difference. The Rangers were neutral zone monsters, forced a four-to-one

* We’re going to learn a lot about the way the brass of this organization thinks by what they do between now and Saturday’s game against the Washington Capitals. Especially if Dan Girardi is given the green light to return. * Why? Well, this was another game where the Rangers

* Yesterday was an interesting development in the “stats vs. eye test” debate. The Rangers got shelled in possession (49-28) but until the final 10 minutes of the third period — more on that later — I thought the Rangers did a really good job keeping the Sharks to the outside and not

* Last year I talked about how important the process was when the Rangers were winning game after game despite playing like ... well ... crap. This morning I’m talking about it the other way around. The Rangers dominated that game, to the tune of shutting St. Louis out in shots on

* That’s about as quality of a win as you’re going to get to kick off the year. It was a 60-minute effort, top to bottom, with great special teams and an offense that proved it has the tools to take care of the defensive mess. * The Chris Kreider
