Rangers Rally Despite Disparaging Comments from Management to Beat the Calgary Heat

The Rangers game out on the ice motivated to rally not only the Calgary Flames whom they put on ice 4-3, but to show Ranger's Mgmt. they mean business.  Yesterday the team spokesperson announced early plans to shake up the team by trading Nash (who scored the tying 3-3 goal) & Zuccarello amidst a losing record.  The team has lost 10 of the last 13 games.  But, it's a shame to hear management's lack of confidence.  The fans came to cheer the team not bury them.  The Rangers got off to an early lead scoring a goal in the first period and shot more than 3X's the Flames flickering shots on goal.  Pavelec played goalie in the 1st period but was pulled due to a knee injury.  Lundqvist came in as relief for the 2nd & 3rd periods with 28 saves on goal.  A Calgary goal was reversed with a referee conference & put then challenged by Calgary.  NY fans could plainly see the Calgary player inside the net & let their opinions known.  You can't do that!  Rangers had a few dribbles.  The team was penalized for an extra player being on the ice.  (Huh, where did my line go?) During the final 2 minutes of play Calgary pulled their goalie to try for a tie at 4 goals for overtime.  This was the wrong time for Ranger player to get penalized for tripping putting 2 extra players on the ice and giving the fans a big chill with the puck stuck in Ranger territory for the rest of the game.  But good defense held the lead and the Rangers broke their 4 game losing streak.
