Good omens -- Think a trip to the postseason for the first time in eight seasons isn't in the cards for the Rangers? Consider that their 6-1 win over the Flyers marked their biggest scoring output in Philadelphia since a 6-3 win on April 10, 1997 -- the last time they made the playoffs.
But how far can they go? How about some other omens: The last time the Rangers won the Cup was 1994, when Sweden won the gold medal at the Olympics -- just as it did this year, with Ranger goaltender Henrik Lundqvist in net. Also, the Rangers now have won seven games in a row, something they also haven't done since the Cup-winning 1993-94 season.
