Ryan Strome is a Ranger?

Things I know about the Rangers:

1. They’re worse than their record.
2. They’re the hardest team to spell in the NHL.
3. Chytil doesn’t sound like you think it will.
4. If Boo Nieves is using that name full time, he’s the best.
5. Skjei doesn’t sound like you think it will.
6. Plus the guy’s an American.
7. Chris Kreider would make a fabulous deadline trade to the Leafs, but the Rangers would have to retain salary because he has another year on his deal.
8. Mats Zuccarello did an interview with the Norwegian press where he said, “I’m just sitting here waiting to be traded,” and I don’t think anyone cared.
9. Tankity, tankity, tank, tank, tank.

The Leafs will want to play Garret Sparks either today or tomorrow, and it looks like the Sunday game is his while Andersen starts tonight. The Rangers will absolutely be giving it their all in front of a team that might be buyers at the deadline.

Go Leafs Go.
