Seriously. Great comeback.

Begin Bitch:

Also what an un-f^ckinging-believable collapse by my beloved Rangers. With Lundqvist and half their defense sidelined by injuries the past two weeks maybe this isn't so much of a surprise. But, good GOD! At least beat the Islanders and Penguins. It's like the Rangers subconciously decided that by making the playoffs they accomplished their season goal.

Maybe it's the olympics finally taking its toll on all those guys who played in Turin? I dunno. [censored].

: End Bitch

What's the status on Lundqvist? Is he going to be ready for the playoffs?

Yes, in fact he played last night. Kasparaitis will be back (played last night), Rucchin will definitely be back and Rucinsky should be back by game 3 of the 1st round.

Edit:

Zurvan,
Congrats on winning the Fantasy Hockey League, btw.
