ESPN's NHL Quarterly Report

ESPN has a couple of quarterly report features on overall team play, coaches and MVP award. Scott Burnside, who gave the Rangers a B-plus, seems to think the bloom is off the rose for the Rangers after a torrid start and wonders why the team brought in high-octane offensive personnel this off-season if they were going to play the same defensive system as last year.

Terry Frei puts Tom Renny in the Proven I category and says the Rangers have been one of the success stories early in the season, but Renney, at times, seems to rub strong personalities the wrong way.

And finally, Burnside has Henrik Lundqvist at #5 in the Hart Trophy race, while Pierre LeBrun has him at #7.
