The hype and anticipation of the playoffs was erased 7:28 into Game 1 when the Flyers took 1-0 lead and the sense of impending doom came over me. Playoff deficits have never been easy for the Rangers to overcome, let alone early deficits, but this Rangers team under Alain Vigneault proved that these aren’t the Rangers of old.
WFAN Mike’s On: Francesa on the FAN producer Brian Monzo joined me to talk about the Rangers’ Game 1 win over the Flyers, the chemistry of the Rick Nash-Derek Stepan-Martin St. Louis line and the power play and how the team’s postseason nerves have disappeared without John Tortorella.
