New York Rangers Looking for Some '94 Magic

     The New York Rangers are letting it be known: they are the team to beat this season in the NHL. The team has 29 wins in 44 games played. In those 44 games, New York has a league leading 62 points. 
     There is no "i" in team, but there is an "i" in Lundqvist. The Rangers' goalie is having a spectacular season and he is a serious contender for the NHL MVP award. His goals against average is a 1.90, and he is the favorite for the Hart Trophy. In comparison to last season, Henrik Lundqvist is looking a lot more comfortable.
     Lundqvist has his fair share of help on the ice. The Rangers' defense is solid, and they are stopping opponents before they even cross center ice. Forwards Marian Gaborik, Ryan Callahan, and Brad Richards are all playing some of the best hockey of their careers. Gaborik is leading the team with 23 goals. The trio is leading New York into battle offensively and have not disappointed. 
     While we are just a few games passed the midway point, the Rangers are looking like a team skating their way to the Stanley Cup. The team has not won the cup since the 1994 season, and it would sure be nice to drape another banner at Madison Square Garden.
