The New York Rangers have swept the Atlanta Thrashers, winning game 4 by a score of 4-2 at MSG.

They're the first team to move to the 2nd round of the playoffs. It's their first sweep since 1994 when they beat the Islanders in the quarterfinals.

The Rangers shouldn't be too excited with themselves. The Thrashers had 97 pts during the regular season - the Rangers 94. So the Rangers got lucky. Next series, they'l have to play a real team.

I didn't know the Thrashers were a "fake" team

Rangers played well this series and have momentum...which in the playoffs, means everything.

i agree it had nothing to do with luck. it was all about momentum the the want for a win. I'm pretty sure it's not luck wen ur team scores seven goals and the olther can't even get one

i wanna see the rangers match up with sabres. right now there platying there best hockey and the rangers had a better ending to their season then the sabres and im sure they could take them out

[ThePundit]

Yeah - they got lucky. That's my opinion. They have no shot against Ottawa.

I was about to write that i would be surprised to see the Rangers advance past this next round - but then you had to go and mention the sens.
Go Rangers!

[mervinout]

haha dont ever make a leaf fan have to root for the sens, the rangers prob wont play the sens they will prob play the sabs cause i def think last night was a must win for the lighting and they just didnt get it done had a lot of chances but just couldnt get a go ahead goal

[MJHMarc]

YES! YES! YES!

Now, I just need the Islanders to somehow slide in.
