SSiG Posted September 12, 2007 Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 The Heat is Turned Up on Coach Delgado, as Rangers Fall Short Esa Tikkanen helped the Rangers get off to a very respectable 2-2 start in the Gens D Eastern Conference. However, he could not help the Rangers enough to at least salvage a point from a home and home with the Pittsburgh Penguins. Two very competitive contests resulted with the Pens getting 4 goals each, and hanging on for wins. At Pittsburgh, the Rangers dug themselves a hole early and could not get out of it. It seemed as though the Penguins knew what head coach Tom Delgado and the Blueshirts were going to do in advance. In the end, it was the Penguins sending a sold out crowd home happy, by the count of 4-2. Meanwhile, the other end of the home and home saw a packed house at the world famous Madison Square Garden, the Rangers once again dug themselves a big hole, as Ron Francis scored a natural hat trick. They got one back late in the 1st when Esa Tikkanen put a slapper past a lunging Tom Barasso. New York pulled back some more thanks to Tikkanen, with a rally late to make it 3-3, but a Mario Lemieux goal put out the hopes of the Rangers faithful to make it 4-3, sending the fans home disappointed. The pre-season favorites in the East are at .500 at the moment, and are not playing up to expectations. There are still 16 games left to turn it around though, can head coach Tom Delgado, who has never led a team into the postseason, lead the suddenly slumping Rangers to the playoffs...or will this be another one of his magnificent failures?
