The first period of last night’s game couldn’t have gone any better. The Rangers controlled the play, played okay defensively (there were a few breakdowns), and were able to come out of the period with a 3-1 lead. Then it all came crashing down in the second. The Rangers allowed four straight goals in the second, including two in a two minute span to allow the Caps to tie it. They never got it going after, and allowed six straight when all was said and done.
Before he was pulled, there wasn’t much Henrik Lundqvist could do though.
