If there’s one thing we know about the Rangers, it’s that they are going to be fun to watch. The Blueshirts have the high-end talent to put up goals, but they don’t have the system in place to prevent chances against. Yesterday’s game is a prime example of what happens when your goalie can’t mask your defensive issues, as Henrik Lundqvist was given no help at all in the loss.
On the bright side, the kids showed they are alright. Ryan Lindgren got his first NHL goal and Kaapo Kakko scored. The young veterans Pavel Buchnevich and Ryan Strome added a few assists.
