Knicks Have Come a Long Way Since May

by Steve Simineri

"I can't even remember last year to be honest," Carmelo Anthony said in front of his locker on Sunday when asked about what’s different this year. Well, let me remind everyone as I take you back to May.

The final horn sounded, and LeBron James wrapped his arms around Anthony in a warm embrace. Despite their head-to-head scoring matchup being even at 139 points apiece, the Knicks season ended and Miami moved on to eventually win the Championship.

Top Seeded Rangers Will Live Up to Their Billing

by Mike Watts

It wasn’t easy in the first two rounds.  Only the No. 8 seed next to the Ottawa Senators’ name in the playoff bracket would make you think they weren’t capable of giving the Rangers a series.  The Sens came hard, and the Rangers skated away with a gritty seventh game win at the Garden.  The second round was a matchup with the seventh-seeded Washington Capitals, a new look team with a defensive mindset that didn’t exactly match up with their personnel.  Still, the Capitals brought the Rangers to another decisive seventh game, which the Blueshirts would skate away with on their home ice.  No, it certainly wasn’t a breeze getting through the first two rounds.

I planned on writing a Devils-Flyers preview, but final papers/examinations got in the way. The past two weeks I have spent every waking minute of free time with my face in a book. A word to the wise: DO NOT put off research papers to the last night. But perhaps it was a blessing in disguise, I was planning on picking the Flyers in 5 or 6 games. Wait, why did I just admit that?
