The Rangers completely dismantled the Bruins on Friday, so we had to assume something the Bruins would get revenge today. They came out a completely different team, and shut down the Rangers from start to finish. Say what you want about effort, consistency, and afternoon games, the Bruins just gave the Rangers nothing. Sometimes you tap the stick and move on. This wasn’t one of those games where the Rangers were sloppy. The Bruins were just better.
It’s worth reminding folks that the Rangers split a two game set with the best team in the division without Artemi Panarin, Filip Chytil, Jacob Trouba, and Kaapo Kakko.
