After missing a slew of games due to concussion, the man who everyone is looking to help get the Rangers out mediocrity is back in the lineup....and well, since it will be against the hard hitting Bruins, you can bet his ability to stay on the ice will be tested.

 

Home game for the Rangers and Nash has yet another chance to show exactly why the Rangers gave up a boatload of players to get him.

 

Will it be too much pressure? Will he rise to the occasion? That is what the hockey world will be looking at.....and the fact that this game is a nationally televised game just adds to the pressure.

 

 

Personally, I like Rick Nash as a player...the guy has everything you want from a power forward, but to say that thus far in his overall Rangers career he has been somewhat disappointing, is an understatement.

Sure, he has had good moments wearing Ranger blue, but IMO, not NEARLY enough of them to justify all the players and overall team dynamics that changed when he arrived in Manhattan.

 

And now, with his team floating along at .500 (though to be fair, the team HAS played better as of late), he is being looked upon as that ingredient that will finally get the Rangers to rise to the top of the division.

 

So far, Nash is saying all the right things, but we will have to wait n see whether he can hold up under the intense conditions the Bruins are sure to provide.
