STATE OF THE BLUESHIRTS: Not great. We need a win tonight, and we need the Devils to beat the Bruins. We’re not out of it, but we’re not exactly in it, either. Hank needs to be big again. Will the real Marian Gaborik please stand up? We’ll see how they respond with no Avery. I’m anxious to see how Corey Locke does. He’ll wear number 84. We’ll see what happens. Maybe we’ll get some lucky breaks. That would be nice.
CRAZY THOUGHT: Locke scores

STATE OF THE BLUESHIRTS: Not terrible. Great win against the Devils. Will that turn it all around? I don’t know, but as long as they keep winning they have a chance. Granted, they need help. But, they have to keep winning. That’s the most important thing. I know I sound like a broken record. But it’s so true.

STATE OF THE BLUESHIRTS: Back up. Great win against the Isles. Dominating, actually. Now, we need it again. Forget about Boston; we just need the Rangers to keep winning. Another performance like the one yesterday from Gaborik wouldn’t hurt. Another performance like the one yesterday from the whole team wouldn’t hurt. Look, we just need to keep winning. Keep winning and hope the rest takes care of itself.

Hank in net. Callahan is playing, despite the leg injury. Boyle is out with an undisclosed injury.
STATE OF THE RANGERS: Not good. They need to win and get help. Boston beating Atlanta last night didn’t help. The Rangers just need to keep winning and hope the rest takes care of itself. As for the tank or go for it argument, I’m on the go for it side, because there’s still a chance. I want to see playoff hockey at the Garden. Granted, their chances keep getting slimmer by the day. The Rangers need to take care of this game. Just win.
CRAZY THOUGHT: Hank gets a shutout
