Last week CBS Sports had five things to know about the Rangers, so I guess Scott Burnside at ESPN wanted to double our pleasure with 10...
2. The albatross twins
Poor Michal Rozsival and Wade Redden. It's not their fault Sather lavished the two defensemen with overblown contracts. While Redden did play better later in the regular season and in the playoffs, the bottom line still remains he managed just three goals and 26 points (his lowest points total in more than a decade) after signing a ludicrous, six-year, $39 million deal. With both players virtually untradeable thanks to their weighty contracts, they'll both need to pull more weight, especially with the departure of regular blueliners Paul Mara and Derek Morris. Yikes.
...oh my god that is classic. I'm going to call those two the albatross twins all season.
The other nine things to know about the Rangers are Gaborik, Brashear, whose the power play quarterback, remains of the penalty kill, Lundqvist, Staal, conditioning, a scheduling note and Olympic exposure.
