Only got one thing to add to what Steve said. A thank you to Martin Brodeur, who came up large against what was a furious Canes’ attack in that final five minute stretch where they dominated, doing everything possible to score but didn’t because of No.30. He allowed his shorthanded team to hold on and get the win which helped the Rangers’ playoff chances. They now know a win in Atlanta tonight means they’re tied with Carolina and the Islanders for either seventh or eighth.

The Blueshirts will have to make due despite all their injuries and hope they can get a lead they don’t relinquish. We’ll certainly find out what they’re made out of. It’s gut check time. How bad do they want it? Find out this St. Patty’s weekend.
