There’s an old saying in hockey circles, if you’re going to stink, stink on the road. The NY Rangers stunk on the road in Buffalo. The fact they were able to get a point out of the contest was nothing short of a miracle and a testament to the play of Jaroslav Halak throughout the game. If any below average backup is in net, Buffalo likely runs away with it.
The Rangers mustered a whole 2 shots on goal in the first period. They were on the second half of a back to back with a travel day, so perhaps that should have been a sign we were in for a long night.
