Sure, Henrik Lundqvist lost the shutout. Sure, Chris Drury missed a wide open net when he could have buried the Lightning for dead. Sure, Jaromir the Anchor Jagr continues to play horrible hockey, and was directly responsible for losing Henrik’s shutout. Sure, the Rangers probably got the benefit of a call when the Lightning probably did score a goal, but there wasn’t a decisive angle to prove it. Sure, the Rangers may have suffered yet another devastating injury when Sean Avery took a puck off his hand. Sure, the game winning goal was so soft even Uncle Daddy would have stopped it.
But the important thing is that they got the 2 points right?
Honestly, I’m not really sure. I always am one to preach that game play is far more important than game results, and from that standpoint I really wasn’t all that happy with what I saw. However the fact that the Rangers played without so many key players, and were playing with a defense that has 5 players averaging the ripe old age of 23.4 years makes me a little hesitant to bury this team.
Let’s not kid ourselves, Henrik was a brick wall tonight. The Lightning should have had a half dozen or more goals, but Henrik was borderline godlike in his performance tonight. However it’s hard to kill a team when they give up zero goals for the first 59 minutes and 44 seconds.
So that leaves me wanting to just kill this team for its atrocious offensive numbers, and for giving up a plethora of golden opportunities for the Lightning to bury, but unable to do so because of extenuating circumstances.
Perhaps the Rangers should give Thanks to this blogger for showing some restraint
