I’ll give the Rangers one thing, they are keeping it entertaining.? Really in a game where the best player for the Rangers has been Kari Lehtonen, the Rangers have been pretty sharp.? The one exception really being Hollwegs penalty, followed by a hook on Hall.? Those 2 penalties really hurt, and had it not been for that I think the Rangers would still be up 4-1, but as it stands now it is 4-2.? The Rangers blew a 2 goal lead against the Sabres 2 games ago only to lose in OT.? Proof positive that no lead is safe, particularly against high powered offensive teams.? Henrik Lundqvist is playing about the deepest in net I have ever seen, its like the guy has lost all confidence in his defenseman to keep guys out of his crease, protect the slam dunk, etc.? Its a shame because its costing him some big juicy rebounds.?
My God does Ilya Kovalchuk have a shot or what.? Thats gotta be the hardest 1-timer ive seen all year, which is saying something considering I watch every single Shanahan game.
Rangers are putting a lot of pressure on the Thrashers defenders to make the right breakout play, three times it has cost the Thrashers a goal.
