This game was anything but Wild. It looked like a flashback to the Tom Renney era. The only thing entertaining about this one was the first period. With all the rough stuff, it did not seem like this was only the tenth ever meeting between these two teams. But what was Owen Nolan thinking?
You had to figure Avery was going to get involved with a guy by the name of Clutterbuck.
How about that Lauri Korpikowski? Had one shining moment on the PK that Korpikowski. It's actually a good thing Korpikowski did not play that much in the game, so we did not have to be subjected to more botching of his name.
Let's just accept the fact that we are scarred by that 5-goal game and Marian Gaborik will score at least one in every game he faces the Rangers. Pray he does not sign with an Eastern Conference team as a free agent over the summer.
Mike Sauer played a very solid game in his NHL debut. He was patient and looked like he knew what he was doing.
I'm loving Staal-Girardi as a shutdown pair.
The Rangers now have the exact same record as the Penguins in a tie for 5th. That will be a monster game this weekend in the house of horrors, the Igloo. Do you want to fall to 6th and face the Caps in the first round?
