Philadelphia, PA (SportsNetwork. http://www.flyknittrainer.nl/heren-nike-roshe-one-print-schoenen-zwart-247.html .com) - A few weeks ago it seemed like the New York Rangers were more likely to have a Mumpy Christmas than a merry one. Although the reigning Eastern Conference champions are not yet rid of the illness that has plagued several NHL teams this season, New York is beginning to awaken from its sluggish start to 2014-15. With one game remaining before the NHLs brief Christmas break, the Rangers have worked themselves within striking distance of the Metropolitan Divisions third and final automatic playoff spot. In fact, if the Blueshirts beat the visiting Washington Capitals in regulation on Tuesday, New York would tie the Caps in points and take over third place in the division by way of tiebreaker. You may not have even noticed the Rangers were struggling this season before they rattled off victories in six straight games heading into Tuesday. New York was 11-10-4 prior to the current run of victories. Sure, that was a disappointing start for a team that made it to the Stanley Cup Finals only several months ago, but it wasnt the type of awful start that garners headlines. It also wasnt particularly notable considering the Rangers got off to a slow start in 2013-14 under Alain Vigneault before coming together later in the regular season and, obviously, in the playoffs. While the NHLs mumps scare has touched the club in the last month or so, infecting forwards Derick Brassard, Tanner Glass and most recently Lee Stempniak, the Rangers were dealing with roster issues well before the disease struck the roster. After losing several pieces from their conference championship team in the offseason, including forwards Brian Boyle, Brad Richards and Benoit Pouliot and defenseman Anton Stralman, the Rangers were then forced to play the first month of the season without top centerman Derek Stepan. Team captain and star defenseman Ryan McDonagh then missed almost all of November with a shoulder injury before returning to his minutes-eating role on the blue line. While New York survived without McDonagh and Stepan, who made his season debut on Nov. 8 and has since recorded a point in 14 of his 19 games, the club is still getting used to life without Boyle, Stralman and Co. But the Rangers needed to let some of those guys go in order to keep their young core intact while keeping the salary cap situation in check. Now, with wins in six straight games it seems like this current crop of Blueshirts is forging an identity of its own. If New York manages to repeat last seasons playoff success and make another deep run in the postseason, the club could point to a recent 4-0 road trip as the period when things started to jell. Although familiar faces have left and new ones have taken their place, many things have stayed the same in New York. The club is still anchored by franchise goaltender Henrik Lundqvist and the deep defensive corps that plays in front of him and Cam Talbot, who is becoming an increasingly reliable backup between the pipes. However, one major improvement has come from within, as Rick Nash has regained his superstar form for the club after a down year. Nash led the Rangers with 26 goals during the 2013-14 regular season, but also tied the lowest point total of his career with 39 points over 65 games, matching his output as a rookie with Columbus in 2002-03. Even more troubling, however, was Nashs three goals over 25 playoff games. When you carry an annual cap hit of $7.8 million through the 2017-18 season like Nash does, that type of postseason drought is troubling, to say the least. Nash also happened to turn 30 years old over the summer, so another down season in 2014-15 would hasten talk of the wingers downfall. Instead, Nash has kept the detractors at bay by being the deadliest and most consistent offensive weapon for the Rangers this season. He leads the club in both goals (20) and points (33) and also is topping the club with a plus-14 rating. Until going pointless over the last two games against Carolina, Nash hadnt been kept off the scoresheet in two consecutive outings at all this season. Although the early part of the season was marked by inconsistency in terms of wins and losses the Rangers never fell too far off the pace, only losing more than two games in a row on two occasions. The up-and-down start to the season wasnt impressive for a defending conference champion, but it at least kept Vigneaults one hot streak from getting back in the middle of the playoff conversation. As a result of sticking together, the Blueshirts have a chance to match the Capitals on Tuesday, the final night of play before the league goes on a three-day hiatus for Christmas. Seeing as its the first of four meetings this season between New York and Washington, the game could set the tone for the rest of the 2014-15 series, which could ultimately determine a playoff spot. The Rangers of all teams know its a long season and tonights test versus the Capitals is just one part of an 82-game set. But, with the way theyre playing right now, New York isnt keen on seeing the hot streak end either. Its our first look at them this season so we want to go out there and put our best foot forward, defenseman Matt Hunwick said of the showdown with the Caps. Weve been on a good streak, so wed like to go into the holiday break with another win. http://www.flyknittrainer.nl/heren-dames-blaze-groen-adidas-superstar-supercolor-by-pharrell-williams-schoenen.html . Wayne Rooney did not score but played a role in four of Uniteds goals. Antonio Valencia put United ahead in the 22ndminute, Emir Spahics own goal in the 30th doubled Uniteds lead and Jonny Evans got the third in the 65th. http://www.flyknittrainer.nl/nike-juvenate-sale-crimson-zwart-heren-loopschoenen.html . Ulissi made his move inside the final 300 metres, bursting out of the peloton to edge Robert Kiserlovski for a second stage win in the race. Wilco Kelderman was third on the 179-kilometre (111-mile) leg from Foligno to Montecopiolo, which had two category one climbs, including the final ascent to the finish.SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico -- Ian Miller scored 22 points and Devon Bookert added 18 to help Florida State cruise past No. 10 VCU 85-67 on Thursday night at the Puerto Rico Tip-Off. The Seminoles (4-0) have scored at least 80 points in each of their games. Montay Brandon added 14 points and 11 rebounds. Treveon Graham had 14 points to lead the Rams (3-1), who were denied their first 4-0 start since the 1993-94 season. Florida State lost in overtime to Virginia Commonwealth in the Sweet Sixteen of the 2011 NCAA tournament. There would be no repeat this time as the Seminoles took control late in the first half and then used an 11-0 spurt to open the second half. VCU also came in aaveraging more than 80 points per game and it made for a pace that was rapid from the outset. http://www.flyknittrainer.nl/nike-juvenate-sale-wit-zwart-heren-loopschoenen.html. The Seminoles played with more control, though, and got a dunk off a set inbounds play just before halftime, then kept that momentum coming out of the locker room. They led by 26 at one point. Florida State led by 12 at the break, holding VCU to just 2 of 11 from the 3-point line and 10 of 33 shooting from the field. The Seminoles had 13 first-half turnovers, but got 14 points from its starting front court to help keep the Rams out of transition. VCUs full-court pressure did force FSU into mistakes, but its poor shooting kept them from capitalizing much.
