My story from lohud.com:
The Rangers were understandably angry at themselves for their performance in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Final Monday night, a 6-2 loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning.
They had every right to be annoyed because neither team played particularly well, but the Rangers’ decision-making and discipline became issues in a game that was up for grabs until it became a rout.
Rangers captain Ryan McDonagh said his teammates took “selfish” penalties, and there was no argument against that at all. Nor would anybody who’s paid any attention to this Rangers team through 96 games this season, or through four seasons and 12 playoff series, be surprised if they didn’t come back with a strong Game 3 Wednesday in Tampa.
