It was a tad frustrating first period for the blueshirts.? They played an inept, and at time superb game.? Id say it was about 70% superb, and 30% inept, with little middle ground in between.? Strange strange strange.? We saw some terrible decisions on penalties (and they were all penalties) which cost the rangers nearly 6 full minutes of the first period in penalty killing time.? However the penalty kill (at least in that period) was downright spectacular, giving the Leafs neither time, nor the space to get into the zone, let alone set up for a shot.? The 3rd line still generated a few chances, not nearly as dominant against the bruins, but that was to be expected.? Still though, despite Prucha having 2 penalties, I hope Renney doesnt relegate him to the 4th line for the remainder of the game.
Pock has looked good out there, as has Girardi.? I guess kids CAN play this game, who woulda thunk it.
