Will Borgen And Urho Vaakanainen Making An Impact For Rangers

1. How about this for twin "Pleasant Surprises?" Will (There's A Way) Borgen and Urho (Media Fears) Vaakanainen.

2. These guys – Will and Urho – really know how to play defense. Advice: Pay close attention to them, K'Andre Miller; it might help your game. (That's a trade warning, fella.)

3. Adam Edstrom is Matt Rempe without the Top Banana act – and the audience.

4. Another game like the one he played in Vegas and Ryan Lindgren might actually save his job.

5. Everybody I know – in and out of the Garden – wants Vincent Trocheck to be captain with the possible exception of Pistol Pete, the coach, and his elusive boss upstairs.

6. Addition By Subtraction. Chris Kreider is out with an injury and Mika Zibanejad is playing the best hockey of the season. (Believe me there IS a connection.)

7. If Mika gets any better, Chris Drury may be forced to remove Magic Z from the naughty-naughty trade lists.

8. It appears as though Shesterkin really is up – I mean REALLY – up to carrying this team. Assuming that that IS the case, why not dream of The Cup?

9. I can't figure out the current tv dispute and won't even try.

10. Mister Perseverance, Jonny Brodzinski, always comes up with an unexpected good play almost every time he's in uniform. I call him The Utility Player's Utility Player!
