Sometimes it just isn’t your night. You can say the Rangers were sloppy. You can say they were disjointed. You could easily say they’re going to need some time to find chemistry with one another. I think all of that factored into why they lost the game Thursday night. However, I also think you could watch that game and surmise that, even though the Rangers didn’t play their best hockey, they should have won that game. Sergei Varlamov was outstanding, and was easily the difference for Colorado, especially in the third period where the Rangers attacked the Avalanche at will.
