In his Blueshirts Blog, John Dellapina writes about Marc Staal, goaltenders been bumped, Jagr's 10 shots on goal last night and the rumor that Sather is interviewing for the Maple Leafs open GM position.Sam Weinman at The Rangers Report puts to rest conspiracy theories that the league is out to get the Rangers...
"Yes, the officiating was uneven at best, and yes, it’s clear there are certain players on the Rangers who almost never get the benefit of the doubt (at the risk of defending a player who’s not even talking to the media right now, it’s remarkable how Sean Avery gets mauled on literally every shift and keeps coming back for more. See Sean, I feel your pain).
Let’s even agree that the Rangers had to overachieve to win Game 4 as a result of the above. But please, can we put to rest the conspiracy theories that the league has it out for the Rangers?

Do you really think Gary Bettman or whoever is sitting in an office and praying that the Devils, with their lackluster attendance and insignificant TV ratings, are going to prevail over a team that sells out every night, that draws well nationally, and is located in the heart of the world’s biggest media market?"
...Despite the atrocious officiating, I'll have to agree with Weinman.
