Up and down, back and forth, lots of rushes, but not really much happening from them.? I think both teams played well once the other team penetrated their zone, but the Rangers were by far the more undisciplined team, getting away with several hooks.? Still though, to play the best team in the world to a draw after 20 isnt the worst thing in the world, despite Marcel Hossa being given a gift that he decided to return to sender.
Hossa had a WIDE open net, and just couldnt elevate the puck over the defenders stick to score the goal.? A sham too because it could have turned the tide in the game.? As it is, the Rangers werent awful out there, but they werent great either.? The Sabres just triple teamed Jagr everytime he had the puck, leaving Straka and Nylander basically uncontested.? Unfortunately the vying All-Stars couldnt do much of anything to make the Sabres think twice about this tactic.
Petr Prucha was all over the ice in that period, he looks to have some jump, he might net a goal in this one, keep your eyes out for it.
