This game was a complete anomoly if you ask me...
The players that needed to show up, showed up... We had their number for the first 2 periods...
Third period came, and that third goal killed us.. Beyond that, I don't think I've seen Rask play that good all year...
Between Del Zotto and Girardi sucking it up badly, Hank being off his game, and Rask playing much, much better than usual, the rangers lost...
Everyone said this would go 7 games... I still believe it will... We should have taken the caps in 5-6, but it took 7 due to our pitiful offense... The offense is finally here, but the B's are much more physical. This will take 7 games, and I'm pretty confident that if the rangers play the way they did for most of this game, it's our series.
Let's not freak out yet.
On the bright side, the PP looked MUCH better at the end of the 1st... and continued onward.. getting 3-4 shots on a PP is unheard of for us, and yet we did it twice (i'm pretty sure). That's progression if I've ever seen it
