Things opened up a bit too much for my liking in that period. Rangers scored as many as the Sens (1) but gave up about 10 times the quality chances than they did in the first period. I cant for the life of me understand why they are willing to play that kind of game. It’s clear they are a puck possession, cycle, one timing team. Stick to what you are good at, don’t play run and gun with our team speed, we just can’t do it.
While Gerber may have been terrible, Emery has been very good in his period. He certainly made all the saves he should, made some really great saves, and gave up a goal nobody can be expected to stop.
I just hope the Rangers tighten it up in the 3rd. Dont necessarily play to run out the clock, but don’t take any unnecessary chances. Rangers have to give up 3 in the period to go to OT, I believe that has already happened within 2-3 minutes a few times against the Sens this year. Keep this safe, keep things simple, and hold the puck, thats the key.
By the way, Marcel Hossa is having a beastly game, anyone else notice how strong he is on the forecheck and in the corners? Very good game for him, keep it up!
