This is a hockey club with some star power. You've got Nash and Lundqvist and Gaborik and Richards. But without captain Ryan Callahan - you don't have a winning team.
Cally returned to the lineup last night and just like that the Rangers returned to form with a desperately needed 4-1 victory over the hated rival New York Islanders.
J.T. Miller was exactly what John Tortorella needed as the 19 year old rookie got the Rangers on the scoreboard in the game's first minute and added a second in a stunning MSG debut. The young man's energy got the whole team going. Putting Kreider and Callahan on JT's line was another Tortorella special that worked to perfection.
And perhaps most importantly, Henrik Lundqvist finally started playing like Henrik Lundqvist last night, looking sharp from the outset and only surrendering one goal.
We're only 5 and 5 now and we have a long way to go and much work to do as a hockey team. But you gotta admit - we needed that win and it felt great to get it.
And it all starts with Captain Ryan Callahan
