Pressure, pressure, pressure!? Thats what I saw from the NY Rangers tonight.? They were all over the person w/ the puck, and they pressured everyone.? Very nice period by the 3rd line, not only did they score a goal, but they had several chances and really didnt give up squat.? Im really starting to love this Hossa Betts Ward line.? They are all about the same size, and can play both styles of hockey, that is, a cycle game, and a rush game.? I like it!
One thing I dont like is the quality of the ice.? Both teams are built to play transition attacking style hockey, but the ice just wont cooperate, as such you are seeing both teams dump the puck a bit more than usual rather than trying to carry through.? Youre seeing guys wiping out all over the place, and pucks jump over sticks, its actually helping the Rangers right now I think but really the Rangers can benefit from the speed game a bit more as well.
Cant really say much more than that about the period, Rangers played well, and brought the game to the Canes, lets just keep it up and not rest on our laurels.
