Hey Hey Hey NY RANGERS win Game 4 in OT
Madison Square Garden was a awash in white towels GO-O-OAL for game 4 last night. I was waving my United in BLUE 2014 Playoffs towel as the Rangers went into OT; deja vu game 3. In Game 3 the Rangers put the game into OT with 28 seconds left in regulation play. Unfortunately, the Rangers were celebrated too soon. It took Montreal only 72 seconds to score the winning goal. Thankfully, last night was not a repeat of defeat. Canadien born Martin St. Louis showed them how it's done, slamming the winning goal into the net in the first few minutes. Rangers looked solid all 1st period with a 1-0 lead. By the third period, the Rangers let slip the tying goal during a Canadien power play. There were 13 penalties in all, most called on the offense. In a subdued press conference, Coach Alain Vignealt said "a win is a win" but acknowledged the team allowed too many power play opportunities and Henrik Lundqvist "gave up a soft goal." Still, Lundqvist had 27 saves; tying the franchise record. The rookie goalie for Montreal proved impressive stopping 26 shots. Ironically, the Ranger win came on a short handed goal. With Lundqvist's talents, steely BLUE eyes & GQ style, he has a career awaiting in broadcasting. But first, unite us New Yorkers in BLUE and bring home a Stanley Cup Series.
