from Larry Brooks of the New York Post,

So here we are for the third time in the last two years and the sixth time in the last four springs. Here we are at Game 7.

Here we are at Rangers Time.

But what we’ll get from the Blueshirts in Wednesday’s winner-take-all showdown against the Capitals is what we’ll see on the Garden ice, and not what we’ll hear leading up to the match.

For though the Rangers are confident as they seek to extend their season and their Game 7 record to 6-0 since 2012 (and 3-0 in that span against Washington), there is neither bombast nor the need to verbally respond to Alex Ovechkin’s post-Game 6 remarks in which he foretold a Caps victory.

“You’re not going to get any guarantees coming out of this room,” Chris Kreider told The Post after Tuesday’s practice. “That’s not our style.”

The style, which took root before Alain Vigneault took over behind the bench last year but which perfectly suits the coach, is low-key. No one in the room feels compelled to stir the drink.
