Well, I got 1/2 of what I wanted.? The effort was there, the intelligence was most definitely NOT.? The Rangers continue to attempt idiotic dangerous passes and continue to get burned with it with odd man rushes against.? I can not for the life of me figure out why this still happens.? I mean, if there is an enemy defender between you and your passing partner, why the heck do you try to a force a pass through?
Still though, Im happy with the effort level put out there, the guys were definitely trying.? Also of note was Petr Prucha who looked good, but rusty.? He just plays so much better when hes got a playmaker (like Jagr) on his line.? Too bad he took a skate to the face, im wondering if he got hit in the eye, my guess is no, because ones natural instinct is to cover your eye with your hand if its injured, and he kept both his hands down, leading me to believe its just a facial laceration.
