NY Rangers Game 74 Open Thread: Rangers vs Florida

The Rangers’ kids are coming alive, snapping the Rangers’ six game losing streak in a big way on Friday night. What’s interesting is that the win (and the previous four game win streak) was driven by the kids and Mika Zibanejad, and not some of the other veterans that may not be with the team long term. That gives us some hope for a supposedly barren farm system. There is still a lot of work to do and not all the kids are going to be here long term, but again there’s some hope.
