Want to know why so many people picked the Rangers to be Stanley Cup Favorites coming into this year? This is why. When you have a team with superstar after superstar, who can and will actually play defense, you are going to win a lot of games. Look at the play with Jaromir Jagr. Here is a play with a guy notorious for not playing defense, who saves a breakaway by busting his ass back after being the deepest guy in the offensive zone seconds before. That, is why this team will win. When a team can hold the most potent offensive club to only 5 shots on goal, none of which were particularly impressive, then will win a lot of games. We more than doubled them in shots, and had a few chances. I know im being redundant here, but eventually, they will go in.
Great period by the Rangers.
