After 20 minutes of hockey at Madison Square Garden, the lights were dim as ever for the New York Rangers.
A combination of two brutal turnovers from defensemen Nick Holden and Kevin Klein, bad communication, and a big mishap by goaltender Henrik Lundqvist resulted in a two-goal hole after one period, with David Pastrnak‘s opener coming after just 10 seconds.
There is a saying, however, that a two-goal advantage is the worst type of lead in hockey. Teams tend to get a little too comfortable when they get a cushion and that’s exactly what happened to the Boston Bruins last night.
