The Penguins are a good team, and they showed it again tonight in a 4-2 win. But don’t discount what the Rangers did, because there was a lot of good. The Rangers did come out flat in the first ten minutes or so, but it was a steady offensive pressure from then on. The Penguins are good, but the Rangers really did own most of this game. I had to do a double take when I saw the total shot attempts. It wasn’t enough as the Rangers couldn’t avoid the sweep by the Penguins.
In the end, it was a shorthanded goal and one bad shift that cost the Rangers.
