They were all resigned to their fate-until their new coach, former Ranger Center Phil Watson, started giving them the needle. "Last place?" snarled the fiery Canadian. "Why, I never finished last in anything in my life-not even in a poker game. Last season the rest of the league scored 210 goals against the Rangers while the Rangers made a lousy 150. This year...
