Post-Game Thoughts:
- This is the team Rangers' fans can get used to and, at the outset of the season, were seeing for a period of time.
- The only "5 in the picture" I saw in this game were the Rangers having free access to the slot. Edmonton played so passively I'm surprised I even saw them on the ice. Associate coach Tom Renney couldn't have been happy with his team's defensive effort.
- Rangers' PP was huge in this game scoring 3 goals. Contribute most of that to Edmonton's extremely passive play, not pressuring the puck carrier or point men. Yet, Gaborik, Del Zotto, and Kotalik had exceptional games.
- Nice to see Ryan Callahan get rewarded for his constant effort and consistent play with a beautiful re-direction for a goal.
- Matt Gilroy's game is improving as he gets more comfortable. His give and go with Higgins was a welcomed sight.
- The passing was very crisp in this game, great movement and a lot were tape-to-tape. I bet the Rangers wish they had this ice at MSG.
- Chris Higgins notches another goal. He's on fire ladies and gentlemen!
- Steve Valiquette had an adequate game in relief of Lundqvist. I'm sure he'd like to have back Vishnovski's back hander.
- Aaron Voros must love getting reprimanded by Tortorella as he took 2 more penalties that could have been avoiced
