Swedish Blueshirts!

Two minutes before the puck dropped in MSG today, I asked the question: "Is it time for the new Swedes Fredrik Sjostrom and Christian Backman to become an instant MSG heros? "

And so they did. They scored one goal each, in the 5-4 OT win against the Flyers (putting an end to the Flyers consecutive run of three wins, and at the same time giving the Rangers their fourth win straight). I reckon the two new Blueshirts will be a big asset for the Rangers in the upcoming playoffs. Yes, I belive they will make it. OK, sometimes they loose focus but now they're winning on a regular basis. Looking good. Every point counts. It ain't over until the fat lady sings.

Worth noticing: Marek Malik had two assist in the game. I wonder if the booes echoed in MSG..... Another thing worth paying some attention to, is the fact that both starting goalkeepers were substituted. Henrik Lundqvist substituted himself in the end of the first period. Antero Nittymaki had enough early in the second.
