Imagine if you will 2 big time heavyweight boxers…..hmm, actually since this is an analogy of the Rangers and Kings let me rephrase that.? Imagine if you will 2 high school nerds.? Nerd number 1 is just pounding away at Nerd number 2.? Wham, Wham, Wham, then all of a sudden Nerd number 2 gets a right hook to the jaw of Nerd 1.? Nerd 1 reels back in shock, to which Nerd 2 exclaims, WHAT YOU GOT!?? The 2 nerds stare at each other eye to eye for…oh say? 1 minute and 37 seconds after which Nerd one throws a right hook to the jaw of nerd 2, effectively knocking him out.? See where i’m getting at?
As soon as Shanahan scred that goal I was saying to myself, ok, now just hold this score till intermission, you can NOT give that goal back, you have to hold it, you have to hol…….UUUGGGGHHHHHHH.? I have seen this play too many times, Rangers get a goal, then give it right back within seconds.? It is heartbreaking, deflating, and more importantly infuriating.? Lundqvist with his 4th soft goal of the game, he has not been sharp, he had 1 great save all game, and the rest where run of the mill ones.? The goaltending and D is just killing this team right now.? I only wish Shanahan could be cloned and put out there playing every position.
I’m contemplating whether I should even watch the 3rd, you know you wont see any accountability from Renney as Kaspar and Ozo are both -2 with Kaspar looking particularly bad so far.? Really the only pairing that has looked pretty good to me have been Tyutin and Ward, the other 4 have not been good.
