Please don’t disparage my jackass Rangers. After all they have won a cup since 1940. They may even win another one in my lifetime.

I have to admit ... Much as I say I hate those Rangers (as a fan of the very challenged New Jersey Devils), I've had a hard time really disliking that team over the last few years. Unlike the 1994 team that was comprised of a lot of mercenaries who probably would never have been on the team in a salary-cap era, the Rangers of the last few years have had a few home-grown players who I would love to have on my team.

Unfortunately for them, I think the team that lost in the Finals in 2014 may have been the best team they've had in the last 20 years. I see them entering a dry spell for a few years as Lundqvist gets older.
