TEAM NEWS

by Alex Frias, New York Rangers Correspondent

Mess' Return Spoiled

The first time around, he was honored with a scoreboard tribute that brought the former captain to tears. This time there was no tribute, no crying, just a good ol' beating in the form of an 8-4 win over Mark Messier and his infamous Vancouver Canucks.

"It doesn't matter who is coming in," said Mike Knuble.

In Messier's second trip back to the Garden, there were enough new Rangers in the old house who didn't treat the former captain with such reverence.

"I was a mess last year," said Adam Graves, who seized the first 20 minutes by the throat, scoring two goals and almost single-handedly killing a penalty to bring the Garden crowd roaring to its feet. "I couldn't concentrate. This year was maybe a little bit easier. But it was certainly exciting. And I know I was thinking about this game for a while."

Fortunately for the Blueshirts, they pulled out the win after stinking up MSG with a 3-1 defeat to Washington on the heels of a spirit-lifting victory over the Red Wings. With a quarter of the season left, the Rangers need every point they can muster up if they plan on sneaking into the playoffs.

Wayne Ties Gordie

How many more records can one man possibly have? Add another one to the record books as Mr. Wayne Gretzky tied Gordie Howe in total career goals combining regular season and playoffs totals in the NHL and the old World Hockey Association with 1,071 goals as he scored one in the win over the Canucks. 'Nuff said.
