You literally saw a perfect execution of the Rangers Even Strength game plan against the Flyers. Always have a 3rd man high for defensive purposes (Gomez was noticeable in this aspect), driving the net and getting low shots there at the same time. And playing a disciplined game (1 penalty in a period is quite good). Now, its a shame I cant just call this the post game thoughts because sadly there are 2 periods left in this game, and man oh man the 2nd period is usually our worst. At least we start off on the power play, which hopefully should lead to some momentum to carry us through the first 5 minutes (usually where we have a lot of problems).
This is my problem with the Rangers though. They have a good enough team to win. They have more than a good enough team to win, they have an exceptional team. Now tell me, why cant they f***ing do this for 60 minutes? Why can’t they do it for more than 2 games in a row?!
ARGH!!!
