Building on what I felt was a much better game against the Panthers, the Rangers continued to play better hockey. Not great mind you, just better.? They killed penalties, were aggressive, took the body, used the boards, etc.? Henrik played great in that period, just great, and while they gave up plenty of good chances (thanks in large part to undisciplined play) that really is to be expected against a team like the Lightning who pressure your defenseman, send sometimes 3 players in to harass the defender with the puck, and who are nonstop in their puck pursuit.
Continued penalty problems plague the Rangers, but at least 1 of the penalties was a necessary one to prevent a goal by Pock, and I’m not even convinced that was a penalty, rather than some good body work.
Lets keep building on it fellas.
