You can't win them all, the Rangers played a very good game. The biggest factor was slowing down the boys in the neutral zone, they could never get any speed over the blue line. Which Torts knows would kill them and he stacked it up and they had a good forecheck all night. Just too many bungled outlet passes to get passed Torts game plan.
The lightning on the other hand - I have seen this before and knew in the 1st period, they were just a tiny bit off. Passes 6in too far or just in the skates, all too a well placed Ranger, passes for open onetimers 2 or 3 in the first - wiffed? they just didn't play like the games they dominated and they were very dominent in the other games.
finally got a rise out of the northern guys - which was the point - I am so looking forward to the Bruins, it will be a statement win rather than the Jets or somebody.
