Post-Game Thoughts:
- John Tortorella will have plenty to bark about (21 giveaways to boot) at the Rangers in the days that follow. This might have been the sloppiest defensive effort for the Blueshirts so far this season and were lucky to even walk away with a point.
- Both Brandon Dubinsky and Christopher Higgins were benched for the entire 3rd period, Dubinsky for his turnover that directly led to Dagostini's goal and Higgins for his lack of hustle on Cammalleri goal right before the 2nd period ended. If you're not going to play hard, you shouldn't play.
- Adding to the last point, Christopher Higgins has to be absolutely frustrated with himself. Not only is he mired in a deep scoring funk, but he gets benched against his former team in a losing effort.
- The line of Gionta (2 assists)-Gomez (2 assists)-Cammalleri (Hat Trick, 1 assist) is certainly dangerous and one of the top lines in the league.
- The Rangers snapped their streak of 8 straight games with a PP goal.
- You're lying if you didn't hold your breath when you saw Henrik Lundqvist down in pain. The running in to Lundqvist has to cease immediately or we won't be saying how he dodged another bullet.
- Good to see Artem Anisimov score. He was one of the few bright spots in the game, as he was pressed into service with Dubinsky and Higgins being benched.
- Marian Gaborik scored a beauty of a goal of a nifty deke. However, he doesn't get a full pass and could have easily been benched by Tortorella. Gaborik was also on the ice for Cammalleri's OT winner.
Next Game: Monday night @ MSG against Phoenix
