A 3-1 win in Nashville on Thursday was tight and tough, and the Rangers hope it will become typical. The result, for the Rangers, was their best game of the season so far, the best of five, the most well-rounded - and that’s not to say it couldn’t have turned into a close loss. Top players playing at high levels, an elite goalie, an even more elite defenseman, young kids excelling and now some beef playing straight ahead. It was the vision during the rebuild for the Rangers, and it was the vision when they muscled up this past offseason.
