I start this edition of the Handy Dandy Playoff notebook with tweet I sent shortly after the New York Rangers’ 2-1 overtime loss to the Carolina Hurricanes.
In my heart of hearts I knew the Sebastian Aho goal was coming, more on that in a bit. And I just had a feeling that if the Rangers didn’t score early in OT that they’d be susceptible to a weird bloop or blast which would end the game.
And that came in the form of an Ian Cole shot that deflected off of Ryan Lindgren’s stick and past Igor Shesterkin.
