NY RANGERS -White Towels Waved in Surrender to PENGUINS

It's the NHL playoffs.  A spirit booster from the MAD MARCHNESS doldrums. Thursday night the Rangers came out fierce scoring just 30 seconds into the game.  WOW!  The Rangers went on to a solid 2-1 victory over the Pittsburg Penguins.  I wasn't at MSG Thurs night but I was there last night for the Ranger's disappointing 3-4 loss to the Penquins.  White towels with Rangers' blue were handed out to everyone entering MSG. Half of the NY Giants were on hand to root for their home team along with NY CSI's Mariska Hargirtay.  Leaving the Garden, fans had the melancholy blues.  Here's where I see red.  Rangers had 7 Power Plays.  They converted none, zip!  The Penguins benefitted by a poor referee call v. the Rangers which they pounced on and scored.  One potential Ranger goal was a measly, painful hair from crossing the Penguins' goal line; ouch!  Nevertheless, not turning 7 Power Play opportunities into a goal is like having the Yankees go 7 innnings with their lead off batter left on base. The Ranger/Penguin series is at 1 game apiece.   Let's not put our hands up and surrender.  There will be more white banners at the door.  NY RANGER fans, let's hear you roar!
