There certainly is "Ranger-Mania " in New York . Is it because the Knicks and Nets are golfing, it's too early for baseball or is it because this year's Rangers and the NHL Playoffs have brought a special excitement to New York fans. I can tell you that people are watching the Rangers- Canadians, who couldn't tell you the difference between a yellow and green line let alone the red and blue lines. Hockey is in the air!
In part, give credit to NBC and the coverage they've provided. Top-notch! Also, the matchups and the remaining markets; New York, Montreal, Chicago and L.A. Throw in Lundqvist, Marty St. Louis, a black superstar player and the Eastern Conference Finals. Mix it all together, and the result has been keen fan interest. I suspect the ratings are through the roof.
NBC must be drooling for a potential NY -LA Stanley Cup Final. That would be plain cool!!!
For now, the Rangers must take one shift at a time. As they say, play whistle to whistle and grind it out. We ain't there yet.
