Faux Rangers Playoff Recap - Rd 1, Game 2 (Tied 1-1)

After a shocking Game 1 loss, the Bruins reminded everyone why they won the Presidents Trophy this season with a convincing 7-1 victory over the Rangers in Game 2 last night.

This game was over before it even started, as...
...the Bruins scored 4 goals on an NHL record 43 first period shots. Rangers Coach David Quinn had planned on going back to his 3 goalie strategy that triggered the Rangers Game 1 win. However, after the first period shot barrage against Georgiev both Lundqvist & Shesterkin...
...begged out of the game leaving Quinn no choice but to stick with Georgiev the entire game. Here’s Lundqvist on his reasoning for requesting out “I’ve played behind some God awful defenses during my Rangers career and I’m getting too old for this shit.”

Defenseman Tony...
...DeAngelo had this assessment of the defensive issues “I blame Obama.”

The Rangers lone bright spot was a Ryan Strome goal in which Artemi Panarin not only assisted on but also grabbed the stick out of Strome’s hand & scored himself. The refs credited Strome with the goal...
...since it came off his stick. Game 3 is at MSG on Sunday.

Notes: Despite scoring 10 points (3g, 7a) in 10 games after signing with the Rangers on March 16th, K’Andre Miller was a scratch for a 2nd straight game as Quinn went with his man crush Brendan Smith. Here’s Quinn...
...on his decision “I like that Brendan Smith walked with Kaapo Kakko to the game tonight which gave him the edge over K’Andre.”
