Brendan Shanahan will be out at least a few more days. In his place the Rangers called up the ex-Islander, Brad Isbister. Quite a drop off, wouldn't you say? Also, Jagr has been testy, lately. Read on.
Quote:
Brad Isbister has been recalled from Hartford for the playoff push....
I know, you're thinking "What playoff push? They'll beat the Devs and lose to Columbus on Saturday!"
The Rangers remain four points out of a playoff spot, and to reach coach Tom Renney's "magic number" of 93 points, they will have to go 15-7 the rest of the way.
The simmering tea kettle of frustration is starting to boil. 
Tell you what. If they beat Jersey, the Jackets and then Montreal on the night of the trade deadline---and Shanahan gets back and is effective and they add a mid-level scorer and a depth defenseman---well, 12-7 after that is possible.
But more and more, doesn't it feel like grasping at straws?
