Good morning, New York/New Jersey sports fans! It looks like a beautiful Spring day so let's -- of course -- begin the day talking about hockey and football.
↵The New York Rangers might not have much season left after Friday night's2-0 loss to the Washington Capitals in their first-round NHL playoff series. The Rangers have scored one goal in two games, and it seems like the golf course is beginning to beckon the blueshirts. See Blueshirt Banter for more reaction.
↵Why are we talking football today? No, the NFL Lockout did not end. Today is the day for the annual Syracuse University Spring Game. SB Nation New York's Jared Smith will be on hand, and will be blogging updates throughout the day. Knowing Jared, he will turn this into the most written about Spring game in Syracuse history -- and that is a good thing for you SU fans.
↵The New York Yankees tried the 'fall way behind and see if we can come back' routine again Friday night. It worked Thursday against Baltimore, but the defending American League champion Texas Rangers are not the Orioles. The Rangers turned six double plays and stymied a Yankee comeback to defeat New York, 5-3.
↵The 2011 NFL Draft is less than two weeks away. Be sure to follow along as SB Nation New York goes through position-by-position breakdows of the needs for both the New York Giants and New York Jets.
