Jagr & Drury Playoff Heroes

Dan Rosen at NHL.com gives his five foremost playoff heroes from Eastern Conference playoff teams, which includes two current Rangers...

Chris Drury, New York Rangers: The money man
Going back to his days as the star of the 1989 Little League World Series, Drury has done nothing but win at every level. He does it by sending daggers into the opposition with heartbreaking goals. His 15 career playoff game-winners (44 in the regular season, too) make him the ultimate clutch performer, the ideal money player.

Jaromir Jagr, New York Rangers: The giant
Jagr has been to the playoffs 14 times, producing 166 points in 159 games. He won back-to-back Stanley Cups with Pittsburgh in 1991 and 1992, and has been to the conference final four times. He has 72 goals and 94 assists. He has 14 game-winners. He has 22 power-play goals. He's a plus-35. He is a playoff legend.

...I've said this in a previous post, the one thing I'm looking forward to the most in the playoffs is seeing Drury perform under pressure in a Ranger uniform.
