Money

Obviously, Chris Drury is getting a lot of praise in the newspapers today....

Sam Weiman at The Journal News says...

...no one should be surprised which player in blue jumped to the fore. Because there early in overtime was a puck caroming in the direction of Chris Drury at the point. And there was Drury unleashing the slap shot into a maze of bodies, then watching the red light illuminated behind the net.

The power-play goal gave the Rangers a 2-1 win over the Penguins and sole possession of fifth place in the Eastern Conference with three games remaining. And it offered another testimony to Drury's unexplainable knack for rising to the biggest moments.

Larry Brooks at The New York Post added...

For even as the Blueshirts played nearly every moment as if facing elimination from the playoffs, even as young Ryan Callahan played the wrecking-ball game of his young life and old(er) Jaromir Jagr led by example from start to finish, when the game went into overtime, when it felt for all the world that it was life or death, there was the Big Moment Kid making the ultimate difference...

Scott Gomez said "...He's the best money guy in the league."

...can't say it any better than Gomez.

....Jay Greenberg at The New York Post has nice article on Jaromir Jagr's hard-working game last night.
