ST. LOUIS – Sometimes, after a particularly embarrassing loss, a team can convince itself to just forget it and move on, writing it off as an aberration, and not a reflection of who the team really is.
Rangers coach Gerard Gallant wasn’t inclined to forget Thursday’s hideous 6-2 loss to the St. Louis Blues, however. Gallant was furious after having to pull goaltender Igor Shesterkin from the game 15 seconds into the second period.
