The Good: Buckling down after the crazy first period, finally a power play goal!!! Henrik being Henrik, Tim Erixon's poise being booed everytime he touched the puck. It looks like the Rangers have their superstar sniper back after a year away, the Rangers need Gaborik to consistently put the puck in the net if they expect to go anywhere, not to mention Stepan's pass to him for the PPG was a beauty. Boyle and Prust making a play for the shorthanded goal, and Ryan McDonagh's last second heroics scoring at 4:59 in OT thanks to a fantastic setup by Dubinsky dumping off to Girardi shooting the puck off the boards to a wide open McDonagh for the game winner.
The Bad: The Flames goal song, I'm sure the coaches will find something but after re-watching the game its hard to come away with any real negatives without nit-picking here and there, the Rangers did take two delay penalties for putting the puck over the glass which you obviously can't do. McDonagh did seem to have a tough game before his goal.
The Ugly: I was going to say before the Rangers scored in OT but they are somehow winning getting zero production from their forwards on the second line. I know with the Rangers winning it isn't going to happen but I think it might be time to temporarily break up the Dubi-Anisimov-Callahan line which has done little since the team has come back from Europe. If Wolski comes back against Edmonton on Saturday, I say throw him with Anisimov and Callahan, move Dubi back to the first line and Stepan with Boyle and Prust if Torts is interested in shaking things up.
