With the way the goaltending has been in this one, I figure if you have the puck on your stick, put it on the net. No matter what zone you are in, no matter what kind of chance you have at even getting it on net, just throw it there and see what happens.
While I disagreed with Steve Gelbs vehemently on his blaming of Lundqvist for the loss in Montreal, I do think Henrik should have had that goal. Screen or not, 65 footers need to be saved. Same thing goes for Ryan Miller (for some reason equally maligned of late) who gave up 2 goals, one definitely a softie, the other a deflection, but deflected far enough out, and with not that much direction change that it could have been saved (not should have, but could have). So there you go Steve, I dont always baby our goalie, but I dont think you could blame him for the loss in Montreal.
Either way, it matters not. The Rangers offense seems to have waken up since the All Star break, and if they get good goaltending, and good defense, they should be a-ok as far as the playoffs go, games in hand or not.
