** Disclaimer: I only watched the last 28 minutes of the hockey game**
The Good: Henrik Lundqvist singlehandedly getting the Rangers through the first two periods before the offense finally taking over in the third. The Rangers held Vancouver without a shot on goal for the last 6:23 of the game. Dan Girardi and Ryan McDonagh keeping the Sedin's off the score sheet. Tonight was the Ryan McDonagh coming out party, the kid is a stud. The secondary scoring coming alive after 11 periods.
The Bad: TOO MANY PENALTIES. Rangers still don't have a power play goal. Brad Richards had a bad night in the faceoff circle. Not a terrible negative but Stepan was just ok on the top line.
The Ugly: Heading into the third period I would have been happy just getting out of Vancouver with a point, no one had the Rangers winning tonight 4-0. Everything statistically tells you the Rangers got their butts handed to them. Outshot 40-19, 31 penalty minutes against, 17 minutes to Dubinsky himself. Lost 37-27 in the faceoff circle. There is alot to improve on with this Rangers team but this win is a start.
