Live, Rangers-Leafs....

             With the Bruins winning and the Flyers losing, the Rangers have a chance to close the playoff gap to three points with two points in regulation or the extra sessions. Boston and Philadelphia have 80 points. The Blueshirts---who are wearing blue on the road because the Leafs are in white 3rd jerseys---have 75. After tonight, the Rangers ahve seven to play. The Thrashers have 76 points, but check their last five games of the season: Caps, Pens, Devils, Caps, Pens. Yow. Zah.

          No yapping in warmups, but wouldn't be surprised to see a Shelley-Orr rematch. Jody felled Colton will a thunderous downward right to the face.

          The starters: Prospal-Drury-Avery-Staal-Rozsival-Lundqvist. For the Leaves: Kulemin-Bozak-Kessel-Phaneuf-Beauchemin-Gustavsson. 

         Refs: Kerry Fraser, Wes McCauley
