Listening to Sam and Joe you would have thought the Rangers played a godawful period, but I honestly thought they werent bad at all.? They had several chances but the pucks were getting blocked, deflected, shanked, etc. I thought Henrik Lundqvist and Fedor Tyutin were exceptionally sharp, particularly Tyutin who was all over the ice, and was laying people out while playing a smart game.? The kid is rapidly developing into what we thought we were getting, just without the offensive upside.? Hes been fantastic this year.
Henrik was also sparkeling making several amazing saves on Malkin, and his positioning was spot on.? The one goal he did let in was on a 5 on 3 that I really cant fault the Rangers on.? Bozo, who took the second penalty, really made the right play trying to elevate the puck into the glass and get it away from the front of the net, he just shot it too high, I can live with that.
I dont think it was as bad as the announcers made it out to be.? They may have only had 4 shots on goal, but the sheer amount of pucks that have been deflected tell a different story.
