Rangers Number 1 in TSN Power Rankings

Surprise! The first TSN power rankings came out, and our Rangers are number one. Here’s what they had to say about the Blueshirts:

A tremendous start for Marian Gaborik, who has nine points and a plus-7 rating in five games but, just as importantly, rookie defencemen Michael Del Zotto and Matt Gilroy aren’t looking out of place, which upgrades the blueline corps.

It’s good to see the “experts” giving the Rangers the respect they deserve. I’ve always thought there was some strange media bias against the Rangers. After all, most of them picked them to be a disaster this year. That could still happen, but so far, so very good.

Are the Rangers the best team in the NHL? No. But they are playing like the best team in hockey. And that’s very exciting.
