^ John Gianonne gets credit for that nickname. During the 2nd intermission, Gianonne uttered that nickname and I immediately chuckled. Then I realized it's absolutely true and not just meant in a joking manner.
Quick Hits:
- This was as exciting as a playoff game can get. Back and forth action from both teams. Superstars displaying their offensive talents. Henrik Lundqvist marveling in the net. I had heart palpitations every time Ovechkin had the puck in the Rangers zone.
- Give credit to the Rangers playing a man down who just so happens to be their captain Chris Drury. He skated in warm-ups but left shortly after and is still day-to-day. Voros played in his place. If the Rangers want a shot at winning this series; they will need Chris Dury.
- Speaking of Drury, Brandon Dubinsky did his best "Captain Clutch" impression, scoring the game-winning goal late in the 3rd. A welcomed sight for the Rangers. Hopefully, Dubi can gain some momentum from it.
- Marc Staal did an admirable job against Ovechkin (0 goals,2 assists, 13 shots!).
-Rangers scored 2 power play goals... WHAT?
- Big guns Gomez, Naslund, and Antropov combined for 7 points (3 goals, 4 assists).
