Adam Fox, Chris Kreider, Vincent Trocheck and J.T. Miller have a chance to make history.
It's repentance time for four Rangers.
After stumbling and bumbling their way into a so far non-playoff berth Adam Fox, Chris Kreider, Vincent Trocheck and J.T. Miller are in a position to help knock off Team Canada tomorrow night in Boston.
"Kreider looked good scoring a goal the other night," said The Old Scout, "but he'd better come through again 'cause those Canadians are talking a winning game."
The I.Q. – Intensity and Intelligence Quotients – already are going through the roof as the hockey world anticipates one of its most unique battles in history.
"Fox's importance has doubled now that Team USA has lost Charlie McAvoy," adds The Old Scout. "This is as good a chance for Adam to redeem what's so far been a mediocre season."
If Trocheck is at the top of his hustling, checking and scoring game that will be all the better for Uncle Sam not to mention the scrapiness of most-recent-Ranger J.T. Miller.
Fox will be facing Cale Makar who long ago replaced him as a perennial Norris Trophy candidate.
"It's hard to figure what turned Fox's once splendid game downward," The Old Scout concludes, "but if ever Adam has been given a game to redeem himself, it'll be tomorrow night in Boston."
With the NHL's homestretch resuming on Saturday, a 14-carat gold effort might inspire Fox to convert the otherwise putrid Blueshirt performances into a playoff run!
